Chapter 3: Brent's Troubles

Logan and Serena decide to go to the restaurant across the street for a bite to eat and listen to the conversation of the people there, which helps them understand the world.

They heard a lot from Ethan, but most of them liked to 'get information' on their own, rather than just passively receiving it from someone.

"If it's too long, you can just go back and don't have to wait here for me all the time. ”

"I know. ”

Logan called Laura, and then walked towards the opposite side with Serena, Ethan watched them enter the hotel, turned around and nodded to the guard at the door before preparing to enter the door.

At this time, a group of people came out one after another from inside, these people were tall, short, fat and thin, but everyone showed a fierce aura, looking at the temperament of these people, you can know that they are not ordinary adventurers.

It's just that everyone's faces are not so good-looking at this moment, and after they walked out of the gate over Ethan, they beckoned some people who had gathered outside, and then led a few people out of here.

Watching them disappear into the distance, Ethan guessed that these were the captains invited back by Brent, but it didn't seem to be a negotiation like this?

Walking inside, there was no need to look for it, and the room where the conversation was held was not closed, and Ethan only had to take a few steps forward to see Brent and a few other people sitting in it.

"Sure enough, a lot of people came. ”

At least a few dozen people went out before, but there are still a dozen or so left, considering that these people are quite powerful adventurers, and there will be a group of crew members more or less, plus it is impossible for everyone to arrive on the same day, so it can be said that Brent has recruited at least a thousand adventurers this time, including the crew?

"It's a big deal!"

He became more and more curious about what Brent was going to do? What kind of big trouble was it? Even if the thousands of adventurers would not all participate, there would be at least a dozen or so large ships in a team of several hundred people, which could already be regarded as a fleet.

Walking into the room, he saw that it was a conference room, and Brent was sitting on a chair next to him, and in the middle of the room there was a large long table that seemed to be covered with something.

Ethan's footsteps made several people in the conference room who were thinking about something look up at the same time, and Brent wanted to see who was coming, and looked a little surprised when he realized that it was Ethan.

"Ethan, you're here too?"

He didn't ask Ethan how he got the news, he didn't specify the target to receive the message, it was a public message, as long as there was a communication device, it could be known, maybe Ethan's ship was installed.

"Come and take a look after you know the news, you're in trouble?"

The other adventurers didn't speak, just looked at Ethan quietly. In their eyes, Ethan's appearance is a little too young, he should not be more than twenty-five years old, adventurers of this age are not uncommon, but not many are good enough, many young people of this age are just getting used to life on this sea.

However, anyone who can break into some fame or accumulate some capital at such a young age either has extraordinary strength or has a strong backer.

Either one is not easy to provoke, and the one sitting here is an old fritter who is more shrewd than the other, and of course will not jump up inexplicably to provoke Ethan.

"What's going on?"

After a brief chat with Brent, Ethan cut straight to the point, he was curious about what trouble made Brent have to recruit people to deal with it?

Ethan knows that Brent's strength is not bad, he still doesn't know how many hole cards Brent has, considering the equipment used by Cleo before, Brent has no reason to be inferior to Cleo.

"Let's take a look. ”

Ethan followed Brent to the long table, and it was only then that he could see that there was a map on the table.

"A map of the sea?"

"Well, that's all about these two routes. ”

This is something that Brent has made up in the past few years, and Ethan has observed it from the side, and finds that there is nothing special around the central island, but there is a lot of content marked on the two routes.

For example, when you enter an area, climate change becomes more frequent, how the speed and direction of ocean currents change, there may be some patterns in the frequency and distance of floating islands, and from what areas start to appear on floating islands that threaten people.

These contents are marked on the chart, some of which are marked with certainty and some with doubts, the former should be the final information obtained by multiple tests, and the latter cannot be finally determined.

On this map, Ethan's previous untraveled route, which is the middle and late part of the northern route in his concept, is placed with a red object by Brent.

"What's the trouble you're talking about?"

The red color was too conspicuous for Ethan to notice.

"Yes. ”

"What's here?"

Brent's face was not very good-looking, and he muttered for a while before he could hold back an answer that surprised Ethan.

"I don't know. ”

"Huh?"

Brent smiled helplessly, sighed and shook his head.

"I couldn't get any close here. ”

Ethan suspected that he had misheard, and he looked back at the position of the red object on the map, it was indeed in the middle and back sections, not in the back section.

"You can't get close? Haven't you been to this position before?"

"No, I've been to deeper areas before. ”

Ethan now understands why Brent feels that he is in big trouble, this sudden appearance of an unknown thing has caused an abnormal situation in this route, Brent was blocked in the previous position of this area, this situation is definitely not normal, and for Brent, who has an 'ideal', this unexpected situation is the most fearful thing for him.

"So you want to figure out what's going on?"

Ethan guessed that Brent wasn't just trying to figure out what was going on here, he was also going to clear the accident, otherwise he wouldn't have had to get so many people to help.

It was no surprise to Ethan that Brent, who had always believed that unity was strength, and that it was only the adventurers who were united to be able to defeat these troubles would choose to do so.

Brent didn't say anything, just sighed helplessly. Ethan looked at the few people sitting in the room, and then remembered the group of people who had left before, and understood why Brent had such an expression.

It is an obvious fact that Brent has a big face, and a single message has called back so many powerful adventurers. But that's the end of his face, these people are not willing to accompany Brent to solve this 'trouble'.

In the eyes of these people, it is just some strange island or some kind of monster on the 'suicide route', which is normal and there is no need to make a fuss.

Or maybe they don't think it will affect them, even if the 'North Route' can't go any further, there is another route anyway.

Why would they follow Brent to do such a thing?

What kind of powerful monsters, weird islands and the like, even if they really become a threat, there are more powerful adventurers to solve, anyway, this world is not short of that kind of top characters, maybe people are ready to hit the storm sea area by the way to solve this problem, why do they bother to be in the limelight?

They just want to live in this world, they don't want to be heroes.

Even those who stayed here did not finally make up their minds to solve this problem with Brent, perhaps they owed Brent a favor, or they also saw a possible crisis, but they could not make up their minds to do it.

In any case, it is certain that Brent's solicitation message did not achieve its purpose.

Ethan didn't make his own decision, but that didn't prevent him from guessing why those people would refuse, and it was probably because of these reasons, and Brent was naΓ―ve to use the concept of 'common crisis' to convince adventurers who were not affiliated with each other or even had very different ideas.

Isn't this Brent, though?

It was at this moment that a man who had been sitting in the corner stood up and walked over to Brent's side.

"I don't see the point of your insistence, but you saved my life, so I won't refuse your request. But my men believe that I am following me on the seas, and I can't joke with their lives. ”

Upon hearing this, Ethan thought that another captain was going to reject Brent.

"So I'll need some time, I'm going to get my men in order, and then I'll go with you to this place and see what the hell is going on there. ”

Brent nodded, and then personally sent the man away. When he came back, he looked at Ethan, who was thinking about something, and showed a wry smile: "This is the first one who agreed to join." ”

"So I'll have to be the second?"

Ethan thought for a moment, and felt that a trip with Brent was nothing, and he was also interested in the strange situation that arose along the route.

Brent didn't expect Ethan to agree to join so easily, but compared to the previous one's agreement to join, Brent was a little worried about whether Ethan's decision was a bit hasty?

"Don't you need to discuss it with your companions?"

"I'll discuss it with my peers, but I think they'll make the same decision as me. "Two mutants who won't die, a vampire with extremely strong vitality, and a protoss who like to make trouble, Ethan doesn't think they'll refuse because they feel dangerous.

Especially the Protoss who likes to make trouble, finding some trouble can also let Loki have something to do, so as not to be bored for too long This guy takes the initiative to make trouble.

"Welcome to you, then, Captain Ethan. ”
