Chapter 43: Reloaded
"Blessings?"
Brent and Brad didn't understand what Ethan was going to do, but because of the strength Ethan showed and the suggestions made by Ethan along the way were very reliable, they didn't express any objections, and took the initiative to help bring everyone together.
Ethan watched everyone gather together, holding the Holy Light Cross that he had taken off while everyone was not paying attention to it in his hand, and was about to launch the power in it to perform a large-scale blessing spell, but he was embarrassed to find that he wanted to use the energy in it on such a large scale, and he actually had to carry out some special 'rituals'.
Looking at the crowd, Ethan finally chose the side facing the sea, and then got down on one knee, his upper body straight, his hands clenched in the cross, and held in front of his chest.
Everyone couldn't figure out what Ethan was up to, but it didn't take long for Ethan's body to begin to glow with a golden glow, and this light became brighter and brighter as time passed.
Miraculously, this light is not dazzling at all, and everyone even feels a warm feeling of being illuminated by the sun.
Especially those adventurers who have been eroded by negative energy and have obvious physical problems, they feel that under the illumination of this light, their bodies seem to have become better, and their limbs, which were originally cold and gradually unconscious, have also regained their senses.
Because this feeling is so amazing, many people suspect that it is their own delusion, but when they turn their eyes to the person next to them, they find that their faces are almost blue and black before, and it is difficult to see that the scary companions have also improved significantly.
"Your face looks so much better. ”
"Your face is the same, just now your face was blue and black, I was afraid that you would suddenly rush over and bite me. ”
"Do you think I don't have that kind of worry?"
"Alas, my hands are sceptible again. ”
"I'm not cold all the time anymore......"
“......”
As Ethan prayed for longer and longer, the golden energy on his body slowly spread and floated into the air, like a golden cloud, after enveloping everyone under the golden cloud, it began to rain golden light again, bathing the adventurer in this holy rain of light.
It wasn't long, no more than ten minutes in total, and when Ethan stood up and turned around, he found that all the noises that had been noisy before had disappeared, and the group of adventurers looked at him very strangely.
Even Brent and Brad looked at him a little strangely, and he didn't know why he suddenly remembered those fanatics.
"You can't accidentally convert them all into believers, do you? ”
He really didn't want to do this, he blessed this group of people, one was to relieve their worries.
These people will not go deep into the depths of the island with them, but will stay on the ships by the sea, and watch over all the warships by the way, if they are not in good condition and are attacked without elites, they will most likely be wiped out - all of them will be destroyed, and if the ships are destroyed, Ethan will have a headache.
In addition, he also has some ulterior thoughts, although he has not completely controlled this holy light energy, but after using it for a long time, he will have a little experience and master some small skills. If this group of people took advantage of Ethan's absence and drove away from the boat, Ethan could also find them with the traces of holy light left on these people.
To put it bluntly, it leaves a mark for this group of people that no one can detect.
Whatever the reason, he had never thought of developing followers for the Light, it was definitely not in his mind. Even if these people suddenly knelt down and believed in themselves as gods, and Ethan, who was firmly on the path of cultivating and strengthening himself as a mage, would simply refuse.
If you develop believers and then become gods by faith, won't all your hard work be in vain?
"Ahem!"
With a slight cough, Ethan quietly attracted Brent's attention, and then discussed his next plan as if he hadn't done anything.
"The crew is in good condition to keep ourselves and our ship safe, and now we should get ready and head to the depths of the island. ”
Serious matters matter, and although Brent has a lot of questions in his mind, this is obviously not the time to discuss these matters. Seeing that he didn't want to discuss it, Brent decisively shifted the topic to what he was going to do next.
"I don't need too many people this time, judging from the previous situation, I may be the only one on my side. ”
Brent has a lot of crew, and his combat effectiveness is not bad, they are all excellent sailors, but on this island, the emphasis is on pure personal combat effectiveness, although there are a few good players on his ship, but there is obviously some gap with him as a captain.
And considering the safety of the back road, he can't take all the good players away, thinking about it, it seems that it is most appropriate to go alone.
Brad thinks the same way, but he is a little different from Brent, Brent is now fully armed, Brad still has his hole cards out yet, and he needs to go back to the ship to change some equipment.
"So you need to wait for me for a while. ”
"No problem, you go. ”
Ethan looked at his side, both Logan and Serena were strong, not to mention Loki, who was definitely ranked first in his own ship, and even surpassed himself as the captain.
Although everyone's combat effectiveness is good, considering that the ship is still on the shore, it seems that some people should be left on the ship.
But Ethan was not going to leave anyone here, he was going to take his companions with him, and they all headed towards the depths of the island.
"I'll have to take care of my ship. ”
Brent was surprised that Ethan had brought everyone with him, and he could understand anything else, but Laura didn't look very old, should she go to such a dangerous place together?
What he didn't know was that Ethan's side was the safer place, far safer than here.
There is also the possibility of being attacked if they stay here, even if they retreat to the surface, but when they came, they were attacked by undead sharks, which shows that the waters around this island are not safe.
It would be safe to retreat further, but those who stayed on the island would have lost their way out, so the ships would try to stay near the island as far as possible, and the farthest they could observe the shore unless absolutely necessary.
The range of movement is limited, and there is no telling when it will be attacked, and the top combat power has already left, no matter how you look at it, it is not so safe here.
If the situation is not right if he stays with Ethan, he can take his own people to travel to other worlds for refuge as soon as possible, or even slowly figure out a suitable solution in another world, and then come back to solve the problem.
His crew knew this, so when Ethan suggested it, Logan and the others thought it would be best, and only Brent, who didn't know the inside story, couldn't understand it.
"They're all good helpers, but if there are only three of us, there are too few of them, and when we encounter an endless army of the undead, we may not be able to deal with it. ”
When Brent heard this explanation, he felt that it was indeed true. There are only three captains, and if he really runs into a troublesome situation, no matter how strong Ethan's attack is, there is not enough time and time for him to use it.
"You're right. Brent turned his head and called out to two more people: "Perrin, George, you guys get ready, come with me." ”
"Captain, you made a very right choice. ”
One of Brent's callers seemed glad he had been summoned by the captain, and immediately regrouped his gear happily.
This time going deep into the interior of the island, considering the environment, everyone had to prepare enough water and even water purification stones, and at the same time bring enough food: even if you think about it on your knees, you know that you can't eat anything you find on the island, and if you don't know how long you want to stay on the island, food is something that must be prepared.
Ethan's side also made some additions, mainly Logan used up some ammunition in the previous melee, and after he returned to the ship to refill it, he distributed the refilled water bottle to everyone.
When these preparations were ready, Brad also reappeared.
This time, Brad was no longer wearing the same armor as Brent, closer to the same equipment Ethan had captured earlier.
It's just that compared to the extremely close-fitting design that Ethan got, Brad's one seems to be more defensive.
Overall, it's still close to armor, but it's more modern. Parts such as cuirass, arm guards, etc., do not look like pure metal products, but more like some kind of synthetic material.
And that's not all, Brad's head also had something that couldn't be said to be a headdress or a helmet, with goggles on it, and Ethan didn't think it was just for decoration.
"I've kept you waiting. ”
"It doesn't matter, in fact, we have also done some preparations, and you came out at just the right time. ”
Brad looked at the packages that everyone was carrying, and knew that they were not polite, and that it did take some time to sort out the equipment and supplies.
"This one is my assistant Liz. ”
Ethan then noticed that there was a woman standing next to Brad who was dressed similarly to him, and the outfit on her body was more slender and slender than the one on Brad, closer to the one Ethan had gotten before.
"She will also go with us into the depths of the island. ”
