Chapter 29: The First Companion

"Is this your ship?"

Young Arthur was still in a state where everything was fresh, and he had grown up in that isolated valley in Merlin, and he was also very interested in the appearance of the sea.

After spending some more time in King Arthur's plane, Ethan returned to the Sea of Calm.

This time, he was finally no longer alone, and the young King Arthur had come with him, and he had finally understood how the shuttle magic circle could bring people back.

For creatures with autonomous consciousness, as long as they stand within the range of the magic circle, and at the same time are subjectively willing to 'follow' Ethan to shuttle, then the shuttle circle will teleport them together.

For those who are not self-conscious, such as ores, water, books, etc., they need to be 'brought' back by Ethan, but simply placing them within the range of the magic circle or just being touched by Ethan will not allow them to be teleported back together.

"I see. ”

Ethan finally got a new message after having a certain control over the space-time energy, maybe with the increase in the degree of control, he will finally understand the full mystery of this magic array, and at that time he may be able to use his magic power to urge the magic array to activate, rather than relying on the pointer to find a specific space-time energy.

Suddenly remembering something, Ethan turned his head to look at the hourglass that was not far away. The sand inside had just flowed down a little, as if it had just started to be timed.

"So every time I shuttle, the time of this plane is stagnant?" Ethan shook his head: "No, it should be that the time point when I shuttle back happens to be very close to the time point when I left, it seems that this magic array is not only able to shuttle through the plane, but also involves the time realm." ”

Turning his head to look at Arthur again, the blonde boy deliberately cut the originally long blonde hair short, because Ethan told him that when he was sailing at sea, his hair was too long to take care of, and it was better to keep it short, so he deliberately cut his hair before setting off - Ethan found that after Arthur cut his hair short, there was a small frustration of hair that was particularly eye-catching, and he stubbornly refused to stick it to his head honestly with other hair.

In addition, the young Arthur also has a variety of equipment given by Merlin, including silver-white light armor and blue battle robes, and a two-handed broadsword with a length of more than one meter two.

The specific effect of this blessing is not only unknown to Ethan, but also not to Arthur, but he is just confused, feeling that the endless sea water is very kind.

After a few moments, Arthur had already toured the entire ship, and at the same time noticed the smaller boat dragging behind: "That's your trophy?"

"No, this boat is my trophy. ”

Before, he talked about the situation in the Sea of Calm in general, but his experience here was not so detailed, and he talked about it in passing when there was nothing to do at the moment.

"It seems that there are many shameless villains in this world. ”

"Without restrictions, many people will continue to break the moral bottom line. ”

The interior of the Caravel is not only spacious, but also serves a variety of purposes, including a separate captain's cabin and a rest area for the general crew.

However, now there are only two people on this boat, and the space in the captain's room is also sufficient, so Ethan directly uses it as a common lounge for two people.

As for the bed, although Arthur is the heir of a kingdom, he has received various trainings since he was a child, and although he has no worries about food and clothing in life, he has not cultivated a noble set in life, and the difference between him and ordinary people is not much, so he does not feel that the environment in the lounge is bad.

"I advise you to take off this armor and put it away, you usually wear this thing to find guilt for yourself. ”

Ethan took off his armor as soon as he returned, and if he wore it for a while, it would probably turn into an oven again.

The sea conditions in the Calm Sea are good, which means that most of the time the sun is sufficient, and the metal armor will be baked hot in less than an hour under the sun.

Arthur, a silly boy, was already sweating from the sun, and he didn't even think about taking off his armor, and he didn't know whether he was obsessed with the 'way of knighthood' or simply unresponsive.

After Ethan's words were finished, seeing that this kid hurriedly took off his armor, and then let out a sigh of relief, Ethan realized that it should be the latter.

"But it seems to be full of danger here, is it really okay not to wear armor all the time?"

"Rest assured, there is an advantage to being at sea, which is to be able to see far away, and when you spot other ships, there will be enough time for you to determine whether the other side is an enemy or not, and enough time for you to prepare for battle. ”

In fact, these things were also figured out by Ethan not long ago, and now they are used to educate Arthur.

By the way, he also taught some common sense of life at sea, and Ethan asked him to tidy up his salute first—Arthur had brought a lot of things, enough for several large boxes.

He himself ran to the place where he used to store the books, took out the Book of Inheritance with his left hand, and under the urging of his spiritual power, the Book of Inheritance floated in the air in front of his left palm, and the pages he opened emitted white light towards the books, absorbing these books one by one into himself.

Merlin's Book of Inheritance has the option of absorbing and simply reproducing the material when recording it.

Simply copying data is more troublesome, wastes some time, and requires more mental power to urge. And it is much easier to absorb it completely, and when a light shines through, the locked book slowly disappears in the light, and its contents are completely recorded by the Book of Inheritance. When I read it, it was no different from reading the original book, as if I had just changed the cover.

"It really helped. ”

In the future, he will collect more and more books, although his memory will continue to improve, but he needs to learn too many things now, no matter how good his memory is, it will take time to read them one by one, so there will definitely be more and more books, which is worry-free.

Happily returning to deck, Ethan saw Arthur standing on the stern tower looking around, occasionally gazing at something—it might be a calm sea, a clear blue sky, or a fish that suddenly jumped out of the sea.

Finally, Arthur's eyes rested on the ship at his feet, and he asked Ethan, who was standing on the deck, "Is it difficult to make such a ship?"

"Forehead ......"

Ethan didn't know how to answer this question, he really didn't know anything about the construction of ships, and he didn't know what the shipbuilding process in this world was, so he could only answer it in combination with some impressions in his mind.

"I'm not sure, but with the productivity of your world, it's troublesome to make it by hand by ordinary people without using magical abilities...... And not only is it a nuisance, but the wood used in shipbuilding is not so easy to find. ”

I have been blessed to read many novels in my life, and there are really some materials about the manufacture of sailboats.

For example, the wood used in this sailboat has strict requirements for wood, and even if the right wood is found, it must be processed for a long time before it can be used as a raw material for the ship.

Among them, the keel, which is the most important backbone of the ship, has higher requirements for materials!

Arthur nodded, then continued to ask.

"Such a ship...... It's not the best ship, is it?"

Originally, he felt that this ship was already very good, able to fly steadily on the sea with a full load of goods and another ship in tow, if his kingdom had such a ship, then it would be an invincible existence at sea.

But he soon remembered that Ethan himself had said that he had just ventured out into the ocean not long ago, and that the ship had been stolen from another gang of robbers—just a few robbers who were slightly stronger than the average person.

Thinking about it this way, this ship may only be regarded as ordinary in this world, right? Otherwise, why would so many robbers keep this ship in such a world that is not suppressed by the law of power? So it can only prove that although such a ship is good, it is not the top in this world.

Ethan had the guess, and he was sure there were better ships - how else would he have crossed the Sea of Storms? With this smaller Caravel galleon?

It's just that he still doesn't know what the better ships look like in this ocean, so he has to tell Arthur about the ships of other worlds.

Ethan talked to Arthur about things like steam engines, internal combustion engines, and even nuclear power, and when young Arthur heard about so many amazing warships, he suddenly understood why Merlin had to travel with Ethan.

"Sure enough, traveling with you can really increase a lot of knowledge. ”

On just the first day, Arthur felt that his trip was worth it.

Over the next few days, Ethan's schedule was adjusted to a certain extent, and in addition to the original training plan, there was also an additional sparring with Arthur.

The higher-level cultivation of one's own spiritual power, as well as the mastery of space-time energy...... The former is still scheduled to be carried out before going to bed, while the latter can only be carried out after the next time the space-time energy is collected because the space-time energy stored in the pointer has been exhausted.

Ethan and Arthur lived a very monotonous and regular life in the following days, until this day, after getting closer to the island of State, Ethan was about to introduce Arthur to the central city of the calm sea, when the two suddenly noticed a large ship on the horizon in the distance.

The two men had seen through their binoculars what the ship looked like: a ship at least twice as large as Ethan's Caravel galleon.

But these are not the point, the point is that they seem to have bad intentions, and after discovering Ethan and the others, they immediately adjusted their direction and rushed over. At the same time, something that looked like a cannon muzzle came out of the bow of the ship.
