Chapter 2: A simple break

The liquidation of the supplies, the liquidation of the loot, and the division of the fruits of victory all went very smoothly, and after saying goodbye to Cleo, Ethan emptied the Dawning Goddess's cabin and made an appointment with the shipyard for a full service and maintenance of the entire ship.

It's something he does every time he comes back from a voyage, and while a thorough clean-up and maintenance takes a lot of money, it's the only way to make his boat strong and durable, and not break down when it matters most.

"Aren't you going to do some insurance on board?"

"I've done it. ”

In fact, the reputation of the shipyard is very good, and there is no place to deal with these troubles because you don't come to me for maintenance, so you have to endure whatever I do.

Ethan had never heard of any important items missing from a ship sent for maintenance, or that intelligence information about his own ship had been leaked.

However, since he may have more secrets on his ship than others, Ethan will always take something more important away and leave a special detection magic trap - it will not hurt anyone, but it will let him know that someone has done something he shouldn't have done, and it will make it easier for him to find this person.

Knowing that Ethan had taken security measures, Logan stopped dwelling on these things, and he began to look at the island curiously.

He had joined Ethan's team and had been on Ethan's ship for quite some time, but it was the first time he had seen a city in this world.

"Looks backward?"

The buildings and costumes of ordinary people on this island look a little older than when they were born, but the infrastructure on the island is very good, and the clean and tidy stone roads can be compared to some small remote cities in modern times.

"It looks like civilization is in the era before the birth of industrial civilization, but there is magic stone technology here, so there is a modern urban feel to daily life. ”

This situation is more interesting, not only Logan mentioned some interest, but even Serena, who has been quiet, is a little curious, and frequently twists her neck to look around.

In order to avoid attracting onlookers, she did not wear the tight leather suit she often wears, but changed to a more world-friendly outfit, which reminded Ethan of the look in another film, if her hair is a little longer and brown, leave a little curl, plus Wolverine Logan next to her, who also changed her look...... It's a bit of a sense of confusion.

"What do we need to do now?"

"There was nothing we could do, our ship needed some time to be maintained, and we had to rest on the island during this time, so we had to find a place to stay first. ”

When there are more people, it can't be solved by finding a random hotel and asking for a room like before, so after considering some secrets, Ethan decided to spend more 'money' and find a room with an independent courtyard to live in.

The island is full of hotels like this, and most of the buildings on the island are for adventurers, and the people who live here don't need so many houses and facilities.

Considering the various circumstances of adventurers, there is no shortage of needs for the whole group to live together, so it is not difficult to find a similar hotel for rent in the whole courtyard, and it is even very intimate to choose the right place to live according to the number of people.

Renting a courtyard that is neither big nor small, Ethan settled everyone down, and then directly announced the dissolution.

The whole island is not big but not small, they can go out and walk around if they want, even if they make things happen, it doesn't matter, as long as you are strong enough to settle it yourself.

It's just that in the face of such a group of 'ordinary people', Loki can't be interested at all, and Ethan has already helped him point out a direction that seems promising, and now he will find a corner whenever he has time, meditate quietly, and constantly strengthen his control over the power of frost.

No one knows the exact level of progress, but everyone can feel it, from the beginning of getting the scepter inlaid with the core of frost energy, as long as the cold wind blows wherever he goes, now Loki can already pack his power in the core of the scepter very well, and there will be no leakage.

As a mage, Ethan can feel that that core contains more frost energy than when he helped Loki make it in the first placeβ€”when he helped Loki make this core, he fully considered the safety of the people around him, so it was impossible for energy to leak out.

That situation happened because Loki later extracted some energy from the Frost Box and injected it into it, and his own control strength was not up to a sufficient level, which led to that state.

However, Loki is not a reckless Thor, and after realizing that his current ability is not enough to continue to control stronger powers, he stopped this risky behavior and honestly practiced according to the current energy standard.

He was so calm during this time, it was obvious that he didn't have time to think about anything else.

With this in mind, Ethan would like to extract a little more frost power and inject it into the core of the scepter, so as to ensure that Loki will not have the heart to do anything for a long time to come.

"So we can do our own thing as we please?"

"By the way, you can also buy some of the things you want. ”

Logan bit his cigar and asked a question that everyone in the room wanted to ask.

"What to buy, what to buy, how to buy?"

Ethan covered his face, he ignored the question.

In this world, he didn't know what was going on in the next sea, but at least there was no unified currency here or in the calm sea where he had been before, and most of the transactions were in the form of a primitive self for things, that is, the various resources held by Ethan in exchange for the items he wanted.

Including food and accommodation, they all pay for this kind of resources, but Ethan, who is an adventurer, does not need to carry a lot of things around with him when he has the guild as a backstage guarantee.

Rogan and none of them have the identity of adventurers in the guild, and if they want to buy something, they have to directly take out the materials that satisfy the other party, otherwise they can't buy anything back.

"What a sad and backward world. ”

Loki finally couldn't hold back the mockery, but Ethan also wanted to complain about the situation, so after agreeing with him, he suggested that Logan go with him to handle the identity of a guild.

After hesitating for a moment, Serena also said that she wanted to apply for an identity together, and her attitude was already a clear expression of her desire to stay.

Ethan didn't refuse, Serena's ability was actually very useful to herself, and she could know more information with her ability to read other people's memories without a clue, and such a useful ability was exactly what Ethan needed.

Only Loki explicitly refused to go, as the prince of Asgard, he disdained to join some strange guild and become a so-called adventurer, as for what to do if he had something he wanted?

"I'll tell you if I need anything. ”

Then he turned around with the scepter and went back to his room, then closed the door and continued his cultivation.

Ethan wasn't surprised by this, if Loki happily said he wanted to join the guild, he would be cautious and check to see if the guy was going to make trouble again.

Took Logan and Serena and Laura the little oil bottle to the guild's office, this kind of membership application does not need to go to the hall in the middle of the island, but after dealing with the identity of the two adventurers, Ethan asked for information about Lower Brent by the way, and learned that Brent is currently living in an inn in the middle of the island.

Brent deliberately left his location information, because he sent so many messages to many adventurers, just to discuss things with them, and leave an address to make it easier for people to find themselves.

"I'm going to meet an acquaintance, are you going together or are you going to walk around?"

The application to join the guild was very simple and quick, and it didn't take ten minutes for the two of them to come out, and Ethan was going to meet Brent to ask about the specific situation, and he estimated that Cleo would also come over after taking care of the matter at hand, and maybe he would meet this partner who had only separated not long ago.

"We're not very familiar with this place yet, so let's come with you. ”

When Logan said this, Ethan naturally didn't force them to leave, so he took Logan, Laura, and Serena with him and walked towards the middle of the island.

The journey went smoothly, and by the way, he could take a look at the shops on the street to see what he needed, and even if he didn't go in right away, Ethan could write it down and come back to buy it after meeting Brent.

Coming to the place where Brent lived, because Brent himself was quite famous, and he deliberately left a message, Ethan noticed that this place seemed to be very lively now, even outside the gate there were many adventurers scattered together, they should be the crew or cronies of some adventurers, and the reason why they didn't go in together was not that Brent felt that they were not qualified to see him, but that there were too many people coming. In order to facilitate conversation, they had to stay outside, and only the 'captains' entered inside.

Even in order to avoid being disturbed by outsiders, Brent also sent someone to guard the door. Ethan tried to get in when he was blocked.

He didn't say anything mocking or disdainful, because he recognized Ethan.

"Captain Ethan, I'm sorry I can't let your companions in, as there are a lot of people coming. He behaved politely: "Our captain has booked the hotel opposite, and your companion can wait there." ”
