Chapter 23: A Purpose-Built Ship
"Looks like I'm going to die here. The Assassin spoke in an affirmative tone, and from Ethan's words, he knew that the young man in front of him had never been in the habit of sparing his enemies.
"Yes. Ethan disdained to lie to him, whether he confessed the reason for his assassination or not, this man could not have survived today: "You may think, if you are certain to die, why do you have to tell the truth...... I'll just tell you that if you don't want to suffer a lot after you die, it's better to be honest. ”
The phrase "suffering after death" made the man's face change, and he looked at Ethan in surprise, as if to wonder if what the young man said was true or false.
At this time, he suddenly thought of Ethan's previous words......
"You say there's a sworn enemy that hasn't been resolved, and that sworn enemy is Beckford?"
"Oh, you know this guy. Ethan raised his eyebrows, seeing that this person's reaction really couldn't have been sent by Beckford, so he really just wanted to monopolize the resources of this island before he did it to himself?
The man ignored Ethan's words, but muttered something with a constipated face, and then looked at Ethan with a look of a dead man: "You actually provoked that madman, I'm looking forward to what kind of ending you will have in the end." ”
"It's a shame you can't see it. Ethan raised his left hand, the ring Zur had given him had never been used, and this time it would finally come in handy.
Weak!
This is a secondary curse that can make the cursed subject in a weakened state for a certain period of time, and the specific effect is determined by the opponent's physical fitness, mental strength, or magic level.
The physical fitness of the assassin in front of him is almost the same, they all belong to the level of ordinary people who have received special training, and their mental power seems to be stronger than that of ordinary people, but as for the magic power, they have no magic power at all.
Not long after being hit by this curse, I gradually felt that I could not exert my strength, and even my breathing became much heavier.
"What did you do?"
The strange tactics frightened the Assassin, who had heard of the conflict between Ethan and Beckford, and in addition to gloating, he also deliberately revealed that he knew about this man, and perhaps Ethan could 'buy' some information from him in exchange for letting him go.
But after falling for the strange trick of the curse, the man thinks that Ethan is actually the same kind of person as Beckford - both are crazy people with strange abilities.
Thinking of the information he knew about Beckford, his last life-saving hole card seemed to be useless in the face of those abilities.
So he finally explained what he was here for, and why he suddenly attacked Ethan.
The truth is very simple, this person took a commission to look for something in this sea area, Ethan really happened to be bumped into by him, and the two of them did not have any grudges, but Ethan happened to have what this person was looking for.
"This thing?"
Ethan pointed to Xiao Ou, who was squatting on the side, with a cute look on his face, but he didn't expect that this person was looking for this little guy, and he really didn't see that there was anything worth putting so much effort into finding this thing.
The guy didn't know about this either, he just accepted the commission and got some information from his employer, knowing that the appearance of this creature is not fixed, there are almost countless forms, and there are not many similarities. The most important point is that once this creature appears on the entire island, then no other creatures will appear, and this creature feeds on magic stones, and has the ability to find magic stones.
"Is it to make it easier to find the magic stone?"
It's a pity that in addition to these, the person in front of him doesn't know more information, and he also receives a payment to do things, but he is a little unscrupulous in order to get paid, even if he kills the completely 'innocent' Ethan.
The only thing that Ethan cared about was that this guy actually came from the next sea, he returned to this sea area in a specially built ship, and then according to the intelligence, he has been operating near the stormy sea, and all the way here, and finally found his target, and finally lost at the hands of Ethan.
After getting the information he wanted to know, Ethan killed this guy neatly, and at the same time, he also discovered this guy's hidden life-saving means, and actually saved his soul with a magic stone prop after being killed. Ethan also discovers that he also carries a hidden healing prop on his body, which will keep his body in the state of death, hang the last bit of vitality, and begin to repair the body after a period of time.
The soul is completely protected, the body is protected and repaired after a certain amount of time, and if Ethan doesn't examine it carefully, there is a real chance that this guy will find a chance to escape.
At the same time, he finally understood why this guy's face changed greatly after realizing that he was 'involved' with Beckford, and he no longer fooled himself with nonsense. He must have thought that he also had Beckford's means of dominating the undead, able to control or extract his soul, and he would confess everything without relying on him.
After taking off all the equipment on his body and scraping it fiercely, Ethan destroyed the prop that protected his soul, and the soul that had lost his protection let out a desperate scream, and pounced on it with a hideous face, which was purified by Ethan with the Book of Inheritance.
Dealt with this guy, and then buried this unknown 'mercenary', and Ethan was kind enough to help him erect a tombstone.
When the island sinks, he will sink with him under the sea, and his death in the sea is also the final destination of most people in this world.
For some reason, Ethan especially didn't want to end up the same way at this moment.
"Definitely not. ”
With the space-time travel magic array in hand, the endless dimensional world can be explored, the path of magic is gradually clear, as long as he persists, he can always become stronger, and even immortality is no longer an unattainable dream, he firmly believes that he can achieve his goal.
Turning his head and leaving the place where the assassin was buried, Ethan took Xiao Ou around the island, since this guy was sure that Xiao Ou was his target, then he must have lived on the island for a while, observed many of Xiao Ou's habits to judge, and finally decided that he would do it to himself.
So, where is this guy's boat hidden? He lived on the island during this time to do research, which does not mean that he did not wander around, and from time to time he would look everywhere to see if there were any missing treasures to dig up, and he did not find any ships anchored near the island.
Coupled with the fact that the island doesn't have any natural harbors, and there are no caves to hide ships from, this is a more interesting situation.
"Could it be that it flew from the sky?"
Ethan looked up at the sky, and there were snowflakes falling from time to time in the gloomy sky, but the overall visibility was not bad, so that nothing could be seen in the sky.
"It's not in the sky, it's in the sea. ”
Suddenly I remembered Christina and Wilson, both of whom were hidden in the sea to move, but they relied on their undead bodies that did not need to breathe, and their vision was different from that of humans, so they would not be affected in the water.
And what is the Assassin who is an ordinary human?
He had a vague guess in his mind, but he felt that it was too. But when he relied on underwater breathing to really see the ship quietly parked at the bottom of the water under the water, he could only sigh that he still didn't know enough about magic stone technology.
After looking around in circles outside, the ship was similar in appearance to an ordinary sailing ship, except that it could not have sails without a mast. The Dawning is much smaller in size than the Aurora, and it seems to have a lot of special equipment installed on it, all of which are unclear what they do.
The whole ship is wrapped in a layer of energy, especially at the upper end of the deck, the energy wall is like a glass cover, perfect for completely isolating the seawater.
Ethan stepped onto the deck of the ship through the layer of energy, and took a breathing attempt: "It can breathe normally, and this energy shield seems to draw oxygen from the sea while isolating the seawater." ”
After looking back and forth on the deck, the deck of the ship seemed empty and there was nothing to see because there was no mast, so he quickly set his eyes on the controls above the stern building.
Compared to Ethan's Aurora, the ship's controls are much more complex. Standing in front of the steering wheel, several consoles almost enclosed themselves, but fortunately, the main console was similar to his own, and Ethan quickly figured out how the ship was operating, and smoothly raised it to the surface.
Looking at the whole situation of the ship in front of the console, I realized that this strange looking ship was actually a ship powered entirely by magic stone equipment, and he had two propulsion units in the lower part of the stern.
In addition, the underwater mode, energy shield and oxygen supply allow the ship to hide under the surface at any time, and although the maneuverability becomes poor after diving, the advantages cannot be ignored.
There are so many other messes of equipment that even Ethan is a little dazzled, and even the kitchen equipment is much better than Ethan's ship.
"It's a pity!"
So many good things, but they turned out to be mounted on a very ordinary hull, and if Ethan had to design it, he would not have used a wooden hull to carry these equipment.
Coupled with the tonnage of the hull, Ethan did not like the ship, and then saw that the hull of the ship had been damaged in many places and needed to be thoroughly maintained and repaired, so he made a decision on the spot: completely dismantle this thing.
