"Adventurers?"

Logan and Ethan stood together on the aft building, which is usually the highest point on a sailboat without climbing to the mast, and the view here is also the best, which is why the operator station and steering wheel are here.

"Of course. ”

Ethan kept holding up the high-powered telescope in his hand, which allowed him to observe the situation better, but even with a dedicated high-powered telescope, he still couldn't see anything at such a distance, but he knew that the other party was using a sailboat of about the same tonnage as himself, and the structure was relatively similar, so he needed to wait for the other party to get closer.

"In this world, among those who are also seafaring adventurers...... How's the relationship?"

Logan was a little curious about this question, most of the knowledge he had obtained from Ethan was about the environment of the world, and then he was trying to learn how to operate a sailboat and sailing, so far he had not met other adventurers, and he did not know what the relationship between fellow adventurers was.

"Normally, it doesn't matter, but when you find an island at the same time, you treat it as a competitor. ”

Ethan continued to hold the telescope, the angle of the sun was very subtle, and the ship was much closer, and he could see a flickering reflection, which meant that someone on the opposite boat was holding a telescope to observe this side.

"The flash was at the top of the sail, and the other side was watching from the top of the mast, and it was likely that we had already been spotted. ”

The adventurers in this sea area are very wary of each other, and on the premise of noticing the existence of other adventurers, they still drive unswervingly, either because they are forced to do so, such as the supplies are close to running out and have no other choice, or they have strong strength, and they have the confidence to face any competition.

Logan listened to Ethan's various explanations, and had a clear concept in his heart, these adventurers who roam this world are competing with each other most of the time, and sometimes even if they know that the supplies on the island are enough for two or more adventure teams to distribute, everyone wants to monopolize the benefits, even if they can't transport so many things at all.

"So, even in another world, humans are still familiar. ”

"That's right. ”

"Until there is any consensus, it is enough to be on the guard as an enemy. Even if there is a consensus, a considerable degree of vigilance should be maintained. ”

Ethan put down the binoculars in his hand and just stood on the stern of the boat and looked into the distance. He didn't put on a posture to fight, but Logan knew that Ethan was ready, and depending on the position he was standing, he could move the Goddess of Dawn at any time.

No matter what, he couldn't let the Aurora stop where it was, passively expecting that the other party would have no malicious intent, if the other party continued to maintain this straight course, then Ethan would have to set the Aurora in motion, whether it was a sailboat or a more powerful warship, the ship that had lost its power was just a large coffin floating on the water.

"Did the other party slow down?"

Ethan raised the telescope again and found that the other party began to adjust the layout of the sails, and at the same time the course also made some adjustments, and did not continue to rush straight over, as if to show goodwill?

Even so, Ethan still didn't let his guard down, he was already standing in front of the console, and Logan rushed to the deck to pull back the springboard that had been set up.

Now Ethan only needs to use the console to put away the anchor and raise the sails, and the Aurora can immediately change from static to moving, and the current wind direction is also in his favor, he can increase the speed of the Aurora in the shortest possible time, and avoid being in a disadvantageous state in battle.

"The other party is slowing down slowly. ”

Ethan had been keeping an eye on the ship, and as the distance between the two sides got closer, he could already see through the telescope that there were several people standing on the bow of the other ship, also observing his side.

"It doesn't seem like the worst is going to happen. ”

The worst thing is that the two sides will fight directly without talking nonsense, and there is no reason to talk about it at all, and only when one side completely eliminates the other can it be regarded as the end.

The current situation means that the other party will not attack directly, whether it is to intimidate or something else, at least the other party does not take the use of force to destroy the other party as the first choice.

"This means that the other side cannot guarantee that they will be able to defeat themselves, then their combat effectiveness ...... At least on the ship, it should be about the same as us. ”

In a maritime conflict, the combat effectiveness of the ship should first be taken into account, and on the surface, the other side is on the same level as itself.

With a similar displacement, and the fact that the other side did not place cannons on the top deck, the two sides seemed to be evenly matched on the ship, and there was no absolute advantage in a fight.

"Will there be too few people on our side to make the other side think that we are easy to deal with?"

This problem cannot be ignored, when the ships seem to have equal combat effectiveness, and they are not sure of the strength of the opponent's single body, the number of people is also a measure of the combat effectiveness of the two sides......

"On the contrary, it will make the other party jealous?"

"Yes. ”

Ethan saw that the other party was slowing down, and as the distance closed, they could even see the expression on each other's faces through the binoculars, and at this time Ethan had already noticed that the captain of the other party was a young man.

About twenty-eight years old, a little older than Ethan, and most of the people around him were young people, only a middle-aged man about forty years old stood next to him, and the two seemed to be exchanging something.

When the other party noticed that Ethan was looking at him, he actually greeted Ethan very politely.

"Uh...... Counterpart...... There could be no malice?"

Logan also saw the other party's actions, which seemed to be showing kindness to himself and others, although he would not be naïve enough to treat the other party as a friend immediately, but polite people will always make it easier for people to be favored.

Ethan responded politely, reminding them to keep slowing down if they wanted to get closer, otherwise they would be treated like enemies.

This is a very simple nautical sign language, which is understood by adventurers in this sea, and Ethan learned it from Philip, and this is the first time it has been officially used.

As soon as he made a dozen sign words, the other party immediately began to reduce his speed, at this time, although the opposite ship was still sailing, but the speed of movement on the sea surface could be described as a turtle crawling, if this situation was launched, then they themselves would also withstand the fire from the Dawning Goddess, and there was no possibility of dodging at all.

If the other party wants to fight a lose-lose battle, of course, they can open fire, but no one will give up the previous speed and initiative advantage with a brain-dead mind, so they make these choices in order to get closer to the other party, so at this time, it can be basically determined that the other party does not want to have an armed conflict.

Due to the kindness shown by the other party, Ethan directly reminded the other party not to go to the island casually by shouting after the other party's ship got close enough.

"This is Ethan of the Goddess of Dawn, out of kindness to remind the new friends, this island has a strange power that interferes with people's perception and will make people fall into a fantasy unknowingly, so don't land on the island at will. ”

Ethan could see that the ship on the other side was a little confused after hearing his own reminder, and some people seemed to not believe his words, but the young man who seemed to be the captain still made a gesture of thanks to Ethan, and then under his command, the whole ship returned to normal, and slightly adjusted its course, and approached the Goddess of Dawn.

"We're going to anchor next to your ship, so don't get us wrong. ”

The distance was getting closer and closer, and the two sides could communicate by shouting, and the young captain of the ship on the opposite side greeted him directly, and then directed his ship to stop on the outside of the Aurora, side by side with the Aurora.

"The other party's technique is good. ”

The two ships docked very closely, and the size was similar, so they only needed to take the gangplank to walk back and forth, but the other party did not touch the Dawning Goddess at all when they stopped the ship.

Considering the age of the other crew and the person who is suspected to be the captain, almost all of them are in their twenties, and it should not be a skill accumulated by rich experience, so it can only be a talented kind of adventure team.

And to be able to gather a group of talented and excellent sailors, this captain must have something extraordinary, which is worth paying attention to.

Ethan had already walked to the deck early, quietly waiting for the young captain to come to his ship.

"Welcome aboard the Aurora, I'm Captain Ethan, and this is First Officer Logan. ”

Logan didn't want the identity of the first mate, but at this time, he couldn't compete with Ethan, so he could only recognize it and say hello to the young man.

"Hello, Captain Ethan of the Aurora, I'm Captain Cleo of the Eternity, and this is my first mate Bob. "Cleo has a good image and a very sunny smile, and the first time they meet, Ethan reminds him of Arthur. The two seemed to be very similar at first glance, but he could feel that this Cleo and Arthur should be different personalities.

As his mental power improved, he found that he had not only improved in his magic level, but was sometimes able to sense some people's situations by simply feeling them.

This is not a skill that only magicians have, and even an ordinary person will feel uncomfortable with a bloody murderer, especially with an amiable and respectable and kind elder. Ethan's case is the equivalent of reinforcing this feeling.

However, this feeling can only be used as a reference, and it cannot judge whether the other party is friend or foe, and the specific situation needs further contact to know.

For now, they have plenty of time to get to know each other.
