Chapter 49: Our Lady?
After a brief inventory, most of them were still stacked on the floor in packages, Arthur went straight back to his room to rest, while Ethan sorted out what he had gained in the Resident Evil world.
The virus stock solution has been transformed into a mental power enhancement liquid by him, this liquid is not easy to make, and he can't make much of it now due to material limitations, but he doesn't have to worry about it in a short time.
He made a lot of the first batch of cigarettes, and if the tobacco leaves made from blades of grass could be supplied, he could make a large number of them again in a short period of time, so there was no need to worry about running out of this thing.
He only made a few cigars with a certain physical recovery ability, and put them in specially made cigar tubes, which were used to save lives at critical moments.
Because it is a life-saving prop, he has made some adjustments to the efficacy of this product. In addition to being able to be used by vaping, it can also be chewed and swallowed in a crisis.
The first method of use is relatively slow to recover, but the effect of the drug is mild, and the burden on the body is small, so you can basically use it again after a little rest after using it once. At the same time, the 'upper limit' of this usage recovery is also relatively high.
The second way of use is relatively simple and crude, and the effect is more violent, which stimulates the body to recover from injuries in almost a short time, but the disadvantage is that it is more taxing on the body, and the recovery 'ceiling' is low. At the same time, the burden on the body is more serious, basically after using it once, it is not for a long time, and it is not suitable for another one.
In general, one of these two tobaccos is a pure blue bottle, and the other is a blue-red mixed potion, and the effect is barely enough, enough for Ethan to use at this stage.
Granishing a cigarette and lighting it with a lighter he had brought back from the Biochemical World, Ethan began to count packs of thermal weapons again.
There are not too many of them, and when he chooses, he tries to choose a style that is common to the ammunition model, such as the pistol, which basically chooses the nine-millimeter bullet version.
I also learned from Alice the disassembly and maintenance skills of firearms, as well as basic shooting knowledge.
The rest can only be practiced by himself, but this thing is a consumable, and if he can't continue to replenish it, I'm afraid it won't be long before it turns into a pile of scrap metal.
"I wonder if I can renovate it?"
He had been up with the idea of building a magically powered firearm from the beginning, but he had no idea how a firearm would be constructed, so he abandoned the idea.
Now there is no such trouble, although he is not a real gun designer, but he does not need to design a completely new firearm, he only needs to make some magic changes to the existing structure, change the ammunition supply part to a magic supply, and fire magic bullets at the same time, or even directly cast some kind of fixed spell.
"Magic...... It can be supplied with magic stones, so you need to consider a replacement for magic stones or a device that absorbs and stores magic stones. ”
Rather than a tool for installing magic stones, Ethan prefers the latter. Because the shape and size of the magic stone is not fixed, there is no standard, if you only choose a fixed size of the magic stone and can not guarantee the quality and source of the magic stone, from any point of view the latter is a more reliable choice.
"Study slowly, don't rush. ”
After smoking the cigarette in his hand, Ethan lay down to rest, the mental power growth provided by the tobacco almost made him feel stronger, this thing can only have a significant effect by accumulating over time, so Ethan will have to make a smoking gun for a long time in the future.
"I didn't smoke much in my previous life, but in this life, I have to smoke enough for both lives in one go. ”
In the following days, Ethan and Arthur still lived a very regular life, reading books and practicing every day and quietly waiting for Keno as a prey.
Going around the world of Resident Evil wasn't enough to make Ethan forget his biggest purpose of staying on Stater Island.
If this hidden danger is not removed, he is not even in the mood to go to sea, so he stays on the island for a long time.
Of course, it also attracted the attention of the guild.
Guilds usually provide adventurers with a few days of free food and lodging, especially after an adventure brings back a large amount of supplies, this time can be appropriately extended.
However, the guild does not encourage adventurers to sit on the island and wait until the inventory is exhausted before going on the next adventure. They now feared that young Ethan had lost his spirit of courage and diligence and had become slack, and had consciously or unconsciously reminded him that he had rested long enough that he should go to sea for his next adventure.
In desperation, Ethan had no choice but to make his intentions clear, and even hired the guild to help him keep an eye on the docks, as soon as Keno appeared, he would be notified immediately.
Only then did the guild understand that the real purpose of Ethan's stay on the island was to get rid of Keno, who had just received the title of Hand of Fire.
The guild has always been neutral when it comes to conflicts between adventurers. Even a fight in the guild hall will not attract the guild's interference, as long as it does not cause damage to the guild's property.
Of course, even if you break something in the guild, as long as you can compensate for the original price, the guild will not trouble you.
So they didn't mind who Ethan was looking for, and after making sure that Ethan hadn't really become slack, they no longer deliberately urged Ethan to go to sea, but provided a lot of Keno information according to Ethan's request - many adventurers have bumped into this guy during this time, and there is little information to bring back to the island.
As the news broke, Ethan gradually realized that this guy couldn't hold out at sea for long, and even if he could get food and water, he and his crew would not be able to survive after being at sea for a long time, and the ship might not be able to survive - as the number of battles increased, the damage to the Flame Monarch became more and more serious. If he didn't want his ship to be scrapped, he would have to go back to the island of State.
As Ethan had predicted, just four days later, Kino's Flame Monarch docked on the docks on Stater Island.
Ethan, who received the news, had already stayed in the lounge not far from the guild hall with Arthur fully armed, and just waited for Keno to appear, and they could kill him here.
It's just a little unexpected that another ship docked at the Wrested Island dock with Keno, and at the same time, the middle-aged man who suspected to be the captain of the big ship also went to the guild hall with Keno.
"Who's that guy?"
Staying in the break room with Ethan was a staff member sent by the guild to inform him. He was about twenty-four or five years old, and his name was John. This is a very ordinary young man, and you can't remember what he looks like when you throw it in the crowd.
However, John, who looks ordinary, has the qualities he should have, and can answer all kinds of questions almost casually, including Ethan's question.
"That man is Brent, captain of the Brave, once a very famous adventurer on the calm seas. ”
"Ever?"
John nodded: "Five years ago, Brent had already crossed the Sea of Storms and went to the ocean on the other side of the Sea of Storms, and I heard from some people in the guild who had been in contact with the other side of the Sea of Storms that Brent was also very good over there, and his reputation was very loud. I just don't know why I suddenly came back to the Sea of Calm?"
Ethan glanced at the man named Brent a few times, and found that he looked to be in his early thirties, if he had crossed the Sea of Storms five years ago, when he was still a young man in his twenties, and many people were still rookies at the age of the Sea of Calm, but he was already at the top of this sea.
"What is the reputation of his character?" he wondered, how could such a person get together with Keno?
"He had a very good reputation, and at that time the whole sea of calm praised Brent as a person. ”
Hearing this, this young man named John also admired Brent, and casually told a lot of Brent's glorious deeds.
For example, when he encounters a shipwrecked person at sea, Brent will definitely rush to the rescue, even if he will fall into a trap. At the same time, he will make proper arrangements for the rescued victims, and even give them supplies so that they have a chance to continue to survive or even turn over.
When he sees someone bullying the weak and robbing adventurers, he will rush to stop them as soon as possible, and will persuade those people not to do similar things again. Because of his reputation, and the fact that many people have received his favors, many navigators who specialize in banditry will give him face.
There are even a few people who have been persuaded by him to turn back, stop doing evil, and honestly be an adventurer at sea.
When he heard this, even Arthur next to him showed a look of wanting to make friends. Only Ethan's face didn't look very good.
He could tell that this Brent was supposed to be a good man, but he was the kind of person who was more of a virgin, and felt that everything in this world was good, and that it could be better even if it was bad for a while.
Dealing with bad people also pays attention to putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha on the spot, giving them a chance to mend their ways.
At the same time, he will take action whenever anyone asks for him, regardless of whether the other party is good or evil.
Then, the reason why Keno and this person stand together is already very clear, compared to the previous Sean, who had no brains and relied on brute strength, Keno is obviously much smarter.
He must have known that he was waiting for him to come back, so he refused to return to the island until he found that Brent, the number one man in the once calm sea and the first virgin, appeared, and immediately leaned in and hugged the man's thigh tightly.
He didn't need to waste any words, just said that he was forced to be a bad person by the wicked at the beginning, and now that he wants to be a good person, this virgin-like guy will definitely help him solve all his troubles.
And that guy's biggest trouble, isn't it Ethan?
"So, Keno has found a big backer for himself!" After thinking about this, Ethan pursed his lips disdainfully: "No matter who you find, Keno will die today!"
