Chapter 48 Checklist
Standing on the stern tower of the Aurora, looking into the distance behind the ship, the huge island that had been in the path of the voyage, blocking everyone's direction, was crumbling little by little, from a whole land to a section and then into more fragmented islands.
Ethan estimated that it would take a long time for such a large piece of land to completely sink to the bottom of the sea, and this sea area would not be calm during this time, even if the energy that affected this sea area had disappeared, but the waves caused by the sinking of the island were also not small.
"It's not really over yet. ”
Ethan turned his gaze to the south, although they had solved the trouble of the northern route this time, but they already knew from Bruno that Beckford had gone to the southern route to do something similar.
And unlike this time, Beckford himself was there, and Ethan didn't know what kind of power Beckford had.
"Judging by his skill and proficiency in using energy, perhaps he has shaken off the shackles of magic stones and equipment, and has truly mastered the energy of the death attribute by himself. ”
The adventurers of this world use energy, mostly through equipment to stimulate the specific attributes in the magic stone, and indirectly use the energy contained in it.
This was true of Wilson when he first met, and so was Brent, who was not far away; He didn't know much about Christina's situation, after all, the first time he met was just a doppelganger, and the second time the guy died under Ethan's blizzard without even having a chance to speak.
If Ethan's guess is correct, he will have to treat Beckford as an opponent similar to his own, and even more formidable if it is safe.
In this case, it seems that there is a suspicion of looking for death by running over like this. ”
As the distance from the sea area gradually increased, the rough waves became smaller, and the sea conditions gradually became much more normal, but the few ships that had been returning to the central island did not slow down, and it seemed that everyone wanted to return to the central island as soon as possible.
Brent wanted to go back as soon as possible and inform the guild of the bad news he had received, hoping that the guild would recruit more powerful adventurers to deal with Beckford.
Now that Beckford has become a threat to everyone, this kind of thing can no longer be solved by him alone by relying on his personal prestige and calling a few helpers.
A great war is about to break out, and Ethan is likely to be the most important force in this war, and his name will immediately spread throughout the seas.
For this, Ethan can also guess that he doesn't care about being famous or anything, all he cares about is whether his current strength is enough?
"Are you going to find Diana to help you out?"
Ethan thinks this is a good way, but there is no need to call Diana first, it can be judged according to the situation, once the signs are wrong, immediately go to Paradise Island to move rescuers, and when the time comes, close the door and let Diana go, and teach Beckford to be a man in minutes...... Oh yes, he's no longer an adult.
The problem was solved, Ethan became relaxed again, moved a deck chair on the deck, and just lay down in the sun and read a book in the gentle sea breeze, as if he had gone out to sea to play.
His style was naturally seen by the people on several other ships, this time the 'expedition' actually suffered heavy losses, these adventure teams that came with Brant, all lost a lot of crew, and even several captains died in this sea area, everyone after experiencing such a thing, and knew that the mastermind behind the scenes was still tossing on another route, and everyone had a sense of confusion that they didn't know what the future would be.
From time to time, someone stood on the deck in a daze, so they saw Ethan, who was wandering.
Some people think Ethan's behavior is bad; Of course, there are also people who feel that this powerful captain is full of confidence, after all, all the dangers they encountered before do not seem to be troublesome in front of this Captain Ethan, and they can be solved casually.
What these people think, Ethan doesn't care at all, he is thinking about something else now.
After wasting so much time on the island, he began to think about his next shuttle.
His previous plan was to fulfill his promise to resurrect Tony's parents after solving this problem.
He thought of a lot of directions, including the anime world of Dragon Ball, which he had in mind. However, he was not prepared to go anywhere directly, because that world was too dangerous, and with his current strength, he could not even protect himself.
Thinking about it, the first thing he considered was the mummy world with two magic books, the Black Sutra of the Undead and the Golden Sutra of the Sun, although the resurrection spells in it were related to the local gods, but as long as Ethan mastered the part of the 'conjuring' and integrated it into his magical knowledge, it was not impossible to resurrect Tony's parents.
Using magic to restructure the body or something, even if you can't do it, it doesn't matter, with Tony's technology and financial resources, you can use technology to use his parents' genes to create a new body, so that the fit with the soul will be higher, what Ethan has to do is to send the soul into the body, and ensure the perfect combination of the soul and the body.
Summoning the soul, providing the body, and then the two are perfectly combined, that is, the perfect resurrection, the specific means can be completely adjusted, although Ethan is a mage, he will not cling to magic and refuse all non-magical means.
Of course, it would be better if he could find a way to resurrect people in one step like Dragon Ball.
This was Ethan's original plan, and now it seems that some adjustments will be made.
Ethan has Diana as a demigod to support him, so he doesn't have to worry about the threat from Beckford, but he still wants to be able to solve the problem with his own ability.
It's not because of some shameful machismo, but because he is worried that once he gets into the habit of relying on others to solve all problems, will he still have the motivation to continue to work hard to improve himself?
He is just on the road now, although the continent condensed by spiritual power has been formed, but the magic condensed on it has only become a few slender streams, not even rivers and lakes have been formed, let alone condensed a vast and boundless ocean of magic power, at this time, he has lost the momentum to move forward, and it is simply a waste of many opportunities he got before.
Not to mention that Gu Yi, Merlin and others who helped them at the beginning would be disappointed, and even they would not let themselves go.
"So the next step is to think of ways to quickly improve your strength. ”
He has not relaxed for a moment in the cultivation of magical power, since he got the Book of Inheritance, unless he can't get away from a battle with someone, he will practice almost every day, and the part of the Book of Inheritance that is purely about the cultivation of spiritual power has been completed, and the next thing is a compound meditation method of spiritual power and magic power, condensing magic power while cultivating spiritual power.
The physical workouts are also persistent, and after breaking the limit of his potential, he is now more physical than the average person, and his strength, speed and agility continue to improve as he works hard.
It seems that as long as he cultivates step by step, Ethan can become stronger - in fact, it is true, but what Ethan needs is time, even if he goes to a world without the resources he needs, time can be exchanged for magic.
"The mummy world is certainly not immune to a great war, and even if it doesn't meet the local gods, it will inevitably clash with Immorton. ”
That's a powerful mage, and if Ethan wants to cultivate now, it's better to go to another world first.
As soon as he thought of it, Ethan closed the book and got up from the recliner.
Standing on the deck and looking around, there was no one on the deck, only Logan standing by the steering wheel and controlling the ship's navigation.
Although Serena is no longer afraid of the sun, her habits for hundreds of years are not so easy to change, and most of the time she still hides from the sunny deck and stays in the cabin as much as possible.
Laura wasn't on deck, either learning from Serena or playing a video game.
"Where's Loki?"
Ethan took a turn and finally found that the goods had gone to the warehouse to find food, and when Ethan bumped into him, Loki was holding a pile of fruit and preparing to go to the deck to bask in the sun.
Loki knows how to enjoy life very well, and at the age of more than a thousand years, even if he only spends a small part of it for pleasure, he will accumulate enough experience to eat, drink and be merry.
Some time ago, Loki got Ethan's advice, and he had enough motivation in his heart to practice so hard. Now that the cultivation has reached a certain level, the next improvement needs to rely on the accumulation of many years, there is no need to be too anxious at this time, Loki will return to the normal rhythm of life.
"You're looking for me?"
Getting to know each other better, Loki and Ethan are now getting along like friends.
"I'm going to do a plane shuttle, are you interested?"
He had asked Logan before, and Rogan decided not to go this time after thinking that he didn't have any needs at the moment and that he still had to take care of the ship.
Logan doesn't go, Laura generally doesn't go, don't look at Logan always doesn't give Laura a good face, in fact, he cares about this daughter more than anyone else, and in the case that he won't participate, he generally won't let Laura participate.
The father and daughter didn't go, and Ethan thought that Loki, who also needed time to accumulate strength, might be interested, but it turned out that Loki didn't want to go either.
"I'm ready to relax for a while, and I don't want to travel to some world with you and toss around for a year. ”
Ethan shrugged his shoulders, Loki was reluctant to go, and then Serena was left alone in the end.
Fortunately, Serena did not refuse, and was willing to go on this shuttle with Ethan.
Before leaving, Logan and Laura each handed Ethan a list and told him to buy it back if he could.
"Do you think I'm going to the supermarket?"
Logan and Laura both nodded, and that was exactly what they thought.
