Chapter 76: Cleo's Promise
Ethan focused all his attention on Cleo's outfit, carefully observing every detail, and still noticed many differences.
"The cuirass, shoulder pads, arm guards, and shin armor are more like a set of light armor from these structures, and the lining is not the kind of tight-fitting tights design, just ordinary clothing pressed under these parts of armor. ”
After watching it for a while, Ethan had a rough judgment in his heart.
"It seems that the assassin's equipment is a little more advanced. ”
He still hadn't fully figured out what the Assassin's equipment was made of, and judging by the feel and some surface details, it seemed to be some kind of composite material.
This made him feel very speechless, if he saw this kind of thing in Tony, then it was not unusual for composite materials to appear, but in this world...... Is there such a high level of craftsmanship in this world? Or is it ...... I haven't seen the real level of technology in this world at all?
I couldn't find an answer for a while, that set of equipment had already been put away by him, and he took it out to study it from time to time, and he already knew a lot about many of the details above, so at this time, he could accurately judge that although the set of equipment on Cleo's body was somewhat similar, it should be a 'backward' version.
"Perhaps this is the most important personal equipment for adventurers in this world. ”
Ethan still has too few adventurers in contact, and the slightly more high-end one is Brent, who has fought Brent once but has not used his real strength, and he doesn't know if Brent also has similar equipment.
However, it can be inferred from Cleo that Brent has a very high probability of having similar equipment, perhaps similar to Cleo's set, or it may be a little better than Cleo's equipment, but it should not be as good as the one in his own hand.
"That assassin's equipment is more hidden, I wonder what effect Cleo's suit has?"
It is certain that this suit similar to light armor can produce a close-fitting protective energy layer, and the assassin's equipment is more concealed, so the energy layer is more fragile, and it is easily pierced by Ethan, Cleo's should not be so weak, maybe the type that is very good at taking attacks head-on.
"Considering that Cleo is the captain of a ship, it is very likely that he will be attacked by the enemy in a concentrated manner during the battle. ”
Ethan didn't hide his judgment, and directly told Logan and Diana beside him, letting them know what abilities the equipment on the other party might have, so as to avoid suddenly encountering losses because they didn't understand.
"And something so magical?"
Looking back at the console on the Aurora, it wasn't surprising that this armor existed - it was easier to understand than the various magic stone equipment on the ship.
"Sounds good, you should get one when you get the chance. ”
Logan has a great interest in this kind of equipment, although he has a self-healing factor and doesn't care about the other party's attacks at all, but no one has a tendency to masochism, it hurts to be cut by someone, and of course it's better not to get hurt.
"I have a set in my hand, but the effect is more subtle, I don't think you will be interested. ”
He has kept that set of equipment, the purpose is to study the principle and structure, so that he can copy it in the future, now it seems that this thing is likely to be a batch product, so he began to consider matching all his partners with a set, which can improve the combat effectiveness of himself and his partners.
"Why do you have such a set of equipment?"
"Snatched from an assassin who wanted to kill me. ”
Logan was not interested in why an assassin would assassinate Ethan, but Diana inquired with great interest, and at the same time learned more about the 'sinister' of this world.
"How could you kill someone for such a simple reason?"
"This kind of thing doesn't just exist in this world, it's the same in many worlds. ”
Diana's worldview still needs to be slowly shaped, and at this time, everyone's attention is focused on Cleo, who has been moving firmly towards the depths of the island, Cleo suddenly stopped, and his state did not look good.
The energy of the armor on his body fluctuated violently. ”
This point does not need to be detected by Ethan with his extraordinary mental power, anyone with eyes can see it, ripples flashed on Cleo's body, Diana can see with her extraordinary eyesight, Cleo is as if he is trapped by something, and he is struggling with all his might.
Although they couldn't see each other's expressions, everyone knew that Cleo was in trouble.
"Shot?"
"I'll go, Diana, you are now our hidden hole card, and it is not suitable to expose your strength too early. ”
Ethan has already met with Cleo, and a proper display of strength can make the other party understand that he is not easy to mess with, and if the other party still wants to be unfavorable to his side on this basis, he will be hit hard because he does not know Diana's strength.
If Diana directly shows her strength, once the opponent makes a move, her side will fall into passivity because she does not have any hole cards. So if Diana can not shoot, it is better not to shoot.
Changing into a magic suit, Ethan first took out the Book of Inheritance, ready to cast a shield to protect himself, knowing that as soon as he entered the island, he would be attacked by that mysterious power.
The spread of the flame wings spewed out a powerful air current, slowly pushing Ethan into the air, aiming in the direction and rushing directly towards Cleo.
This time he didn't turn on the shield directly, he wanted to test the reaction speed of this mysterious power, whether it would be attacked by him within a certain range, or would he target some specific targets, how fast the energy would be mobilized, how long the reaction time, whether it could be dodged, all of which would need to be tested to know.
The result is very clear, not long after flying out, Ethan felt a large amount of energy converging towards him, but at present, this energy cannot threaten Ethan, the suit on his body also has energy protection, and this posture can also be more flexible at present, Ethan began to try to get rid of the attack of this energy with speed.
"Attack the target within the range, and after dodging yourself, the opponent needs to mobilize energy to chase you, not that you will be attacked if you are within this range. This proves that this energy is not endless, and that the high intensity of energy cannot cover the entire island. ”
The situation was not too bad, and having this information would also help him in his future exploration, plus he was fast enough time for him to fly to where Cleo was, slow down a little and grab him, and then draw a very nice arc in the air and fly back towards the sea.
Because of Ethan's rescue, Cleo, who has been trapped by the mysterious power, only feels light, and when he comes back to his senses, he has been caught and flying in mid-air, and the armor on his body is enough to protect him from the air currents generated during the flight, so he can raise his head to see who saved him, but unfortunately Ethan is wearing a hood when he flies, and he can't see Ethan's true face at all under the hidden magic effect.
Led Cleo down on the deck of the Eternity, the entire deck became empty as he fell, and the crew of the Eternity was forced to hide in a corner to avoid being injured by the flames.
Ethan wasn't here to demonstrate, so he put away his flaming wings as soon as he landed, turning them back into a cloak that looked ordinary, and at the same time tilted his hood back to reveal his face, and Cleo realized that it was Ethan, the captain of the Aurora, who had saved him.
"Thank you so much for your help, Captain Ethan. ”
"You're welcome. ”
Ethan's strength surprised Cleo a little, but he didn't dwell on these things, but hoped that Ethan would be able to save his crew from starvation.
"I know it's a bad idea, but I'm willing to pay a price. ”
It's hard to judge whether Ethan is sincere, and he doesn't know what price to give for this, for him, saving one is also saving, saving ten is also saving, it's not a troublesome thing, not to mention that if he refuses, the relationship between the two sides may become very bad all of a sudden.
"It doesn't cost anything, you wait here, I'll bring them back soon. ”
The huge flame wings spread out again, and the crew of the Eternity were shocked by this magical ability, and Cleo was also surprised that Ethan's inconspicuous hooded cloak had such magical ability, and it was the first time he had seen a magic stone equipment with the ability to fly.
The point is that the flight speed is simply amazing!
Cleo can easily judge that with Ethan's flight speed, no ship can escape the pursuit of the captain of the Aurora, that is to say, as long as there is a conflict with the Aurora, either the other party will be completely wiped out, or it will only be eliminated by the other party, and there is no possibility of turning around and escaping if the situation is not right.
His first mate, Bob, also saw this, and when Ethan flew to save his crew, he approached Cleo's side and reminded his captain: "It is very unwise to befriend this man as much as possible, and to be his enemy." ”
"I know. ”
Even if Bob didn't warn him, Cleo didn't want to be an enemy with Ethan, and he didn't like to make enemies everywhere, and his first mate knew this, so Bob just reminded him and didn't say anything more.
Indeed, when Ethan rescued several of the crew members who had fallen into the illusion back to the Eternal, Cleo expressed even more enthusiasm and promised not to compete with Ethan for anything on the island, and even to help Ethan obtain the island's resources.
