After a period of storage and practice, Ethan was finally able to use his magic to cast the auxiliary magic that all mage apprentices mastered: the Mage's Hand.

This magic requires very little mana, and is activated with a small amount of mana. With Ethan's mental strength, this kind of magic could have been used a long time ago. Even without the cooperation of magic power, he can do it with pure mental power.

However, the use of magic power is a completely different situation, you can avoid direct contact with foreign objects with your mental power, and provide a layer of protection for your spiritual power, especially when conducting magic experiments, this layer of protection can avoid a lot of trouble.

What's more, this layer of magic represents a completely different meaning!

Ethan looked at the small stones floating in front of him, and he actually had a feeling of raising his eyebrows.

Only today can he raise his chest and declare to everyone: I am truly a magician!

Standing in front of the steering wheel, Ethan casually threw the stone into the sea. After collecting his mood, he began to take a look at the sea around him.

After being away from the central island for so long, he had gradually approached the border area of this sea, and the sea conditions had become increasingly bad, and the undulating waves could not even maintain the stability of the Dawning Goddess, and the sea rose and fell.

At the same time, the sky was covered with a layer of gray, and the sun was not shining as before, and the sea breeze was getting colder, so Ethan put on all the thick clothes he had almost never worn before, so that he felt a little warmer.

"Is it a delusion?"

Ethan felt as if there were snowflakes in the splash, and he had never seen snow in this world before.

As the Aurora continued on its way, the clouds above Ethan's head grew thicker, and the occasional snowflakes in the sky reminded him that what he had seen was not an illusion.

"Suddenly it's getting colder and colder. ”

He had always thought that the whole sea was more or less the same climate, because there was almost no change in temperature in the calm sea, but this exploration caused by curiosity made him realize how naïve his previous thoughts were.

The knowledge of latitude and longitude on Earth cannot be applied here, and the only knowledge that can be used is how to properly protect your ship in this cold environment.

Ethan carefully inspected the various areas and did not let the ship go any further. Every time I move forward, I stop and check to see if there are any areas that have been severely affected by this environment.

Control the speed of the boat and avoid hitting things like ice while moving at high speeds, causing fatal damage to the boat.

Because of Ethan's care, although the speed of the voyage slowed down, there was no danger, and Ethan finally managed to reach the border area of this sea.

As far as the eye can see, there is no end to the storm that connects the sky and the sea like a wall, and Ethan observes through various equipment to see that this storm is not only a violent storm, lightning and thunder, but also a tornado wandering everywhere and a huge whirlpool that suddenly appears from time to time.

"This sea state...... No wonder no one wants to break through here. ”

Ethan was still a long way from the terrible wall of storms, and it would have taken him a long time to drive past it from where he was now, and he was able to see so clearly thanks to the various technological tools provided by Tony, otherwise he would have needed to keep getting closer to see so clearly.

In that case, not to mention how much time is wasted, this part of the road is not very comfortable. Now he had to hold on to the steering wheel to stay on the ship, careful not to roll himself into a ball every time he moved.

"It's windy and snowy, so it's no wonder that there aren't many adventurers here. ”

Ethan habitually took out the island pointer, he would take it out every once in a while to look at it, and he had been in a state of shaking before and had not found any islands, as if even the floating and sinking islands would not appear in this environment.

As a result, Ethan was speechless again, and the pointer that had not been able to find the island before suddenly pointed firmly in a fixed direction, which meant that there were islands within its search range.

He wasn't just embarrassed by this, the pointer was to his left and slightly tilted towards the stormy sea, which meant that he had to continue sailing on the sea, or even go deeper.

That wasn't a reason for him to abandon the island, and Ethan drove the Aurora in the direction of the pointer.

The distance doesn't seem to be close, it may be in the area where the pointer searches, and Ethan has been enjoying this bumpy life for the next period of time, shaking his whole person is not good, and he feels like his brain has been shaken into a lump.

Just as he was contemplating whether to give up altogether, an island appeared above the sea level in front of him.

“......”

Looking at the island that was getting closer and closer, Ethan wanted to complain, 'Do you want to read your mind like this?', but finally honestly circled around the island, found a calmer area to park the boat, and then jumped off the deck and walked from the undulating sea to the island.

At the moment when he was down-to-earth, Ethan was a little uncomfortable because he suddenly stopped shaking, and stood in place for a while before returning to normal, and then began to look at the island.

Instead of the familiar green, it was white, and the whole island seemed to be covered with a layer of snow, and there were trees not far from the sea, and the trees were also covered with thick white snow, and Ethan leaned over and kicked on the trunk of the tree, shaking off the snow to see the full appearance of these trees, which looked closer to the type of trees in the cold regions of the earth.

"Didn't see the fruit. ”

Fruits are an important food source in this world, and they can also replenish water, so adventurers are looking for any supplies of various fruits on the island for the first time.

There didn't seem to be any fruit to replenish on the island, and Ethan walked a long way along the coast, seeing the same kind of trees.

Generally speaking, the vegetation of the entire island can be observed from any side of the floating island, and if there is no one direction, it may not be high in other places.

"What's on this island?"

It's all here, and you can't go back empty-handed. Since there was no food to replenish, ore and wood were good choices, and Ethan fixed his eyes on the trees.

"The quality of this wood seems good?"

He didn't pay much attention to it just now, but now that he remembered that this wood seemed to be a good raw material, he could collect some to fill his warehouse.

"If nothing else, I'm going to have to make a cameo as a lumberjack. ”

Timber is a guarantee, he doesn't really want to do this kind of logging work, not that cutting trees is troublesome, for him is just a matter of two knives. It was not an easy task to get the timber from the island to the ship and load it into the hold.

"Let's keep exploring inside for a while. ”

Looking back at the Goddess of Dawn parked on the sea, there should be no adventurers suddenly in this vicinity, which is one of the reasons why he chose this direction.

He didn't even have a companion now, and he didn't even have a caretaker on the ship after he got to the island, and he had no place to cry if he met another adventurer and drove the boat away.

Now, he can only set up a vigilant magic array on the ship to alert himself when someone invades.

Swapping into a full set of magical gear, Ethan continued to explore the depths of the island. Because of the weather, he draped himself in a thick coat outside and wrapped himself tightly.

In this case, he could not hide his tracks and could easily be discovered. You can only keep your hands on the weapon, put on those eyes, and turn on all the search functions to keep yourself safe.

The technology is really easy to use, and Ethan was surprised to find that there were creatures on this island not long after he advanced, and this was the first time he had encountered an island where creatures existed.

"But this guy's position ......"

Ethan looked at the various data given on the glasses, and saw that the creature seemed to be constantly adjusting its position, and then occasionally approaching him for a distance, and then retreating.

"Is this a temptation?"

This is not a good sign, and it seems to mean that the unknown creature is trying to attack itself. Whether it's to defend territory or for some other reason, as long as there is such a possibility, Ethan will have to be careful and careful, and if appropriate, he will need to strike first.

After making a mark for the guy with his glasses, Ethan continued to pretend that he hadn't found anything, the scenery on this island was very monotonous, it was still very novel at first, and after watching it for a long time, he gradually got bored.

The only surprise was that when I entered the middle of the island, the glasses detected many more energy sources, and there were recorded objects in the database.

"Magic stones!" Ethan followed the hints of his glasses to find those energy sources, and found that there were a large number of open-pit magic stone mines here, many of which were exposed to the ground, and a few could be dug out with a simple dig.

Most of them are not of high quality, but it's good to keep them as cannonballs. In addition, magic stones are generally not large, and Ethan can use his own storage space to carry them, which is much easier than running back and forth against an entire log.

He seemed to be paying all his attention to the magic stone mine in front of him, but in fact he had been staring at the hint in his glasses, and had already noticed that the creature had quietly circled behind him, cautiously approaching him.

Under the cover of the big one, Ethan touched the Book of Inheritance in his left hand and held the battle cross in his right hand, ready to surprise the guy at any time.

Just as the creature raised his speed and rushed towards him, Ethan turned sharply, and the brilliant energy blade in his hand slashed straight at ...... One was no bigger than Ethan's fist, and it pounced with teeth and claws...... Kittens?
