After a period of tedious sailing, Ethan landed on Central Island again.

Checking in, unloading the goods from the warehouse and depositing them in the guild's personal account, reselling the remaining food and water, and contacting the shipyard for routine maintenance and upkeep of the Aurora, when all this is done, Ethan has time to find an inn to enjoy his dinner and rest.

This time he gained a lot from the voyage, and the family funds that had been exhausted became rich again, and with the 'spare money' in his hands, it seemed that his confidence had become much more sufficient, Ethan directly asked the shipyard to expedite the processing of his ship, so that he did not have to wait in line, otherwise he didn't know how long it would take to get his ship's turn, and how much time would be wasted out of thin air.

After a good night's rest, Ethan wandered around the island.

This time, he deliberately stopped and landed in a different direction, and by the way, he was familiar with the situation in this area, and it turned out that the layout of the central island was obviously interfered with by someone in the planning, and the distribution of shops in this area was roughly the same as the previous area.

Shops, hotels, etc., are concentrated in a relatively fixed area, and even if there are differences, it is very small, and after you are familiar with one area, you will not find the store you are looking for when you go in another direction.

It is simply unrealistic to expect the shopkeeper to do this spontaneously, only that there are powerful people or forces who demand that they have to do it.

"Guild?"

Most likely, it could only be the guild, which became more and more mysterious in Ethan's eyes.

After realizing this situation, Ethan did not give up going to the other two directions that he had not been, although there was such speculation, but he still had to see it with his own eyes. Considering that the maintenance of the Goddess of Dawn will take some time, he is also idle, so he takes advantage of this time to turn the entire island around.

The final result was the same as he had guessed, with the only surprise being that Ethan bumped into Brent on the island.

"You did come to this sea, but a little later than I thought. ”

This adventurer, who also has a good reputation in this sea, was very happy to see Ethan, and very warmly invited Ethan to sit down and chat.

"I've been here for a while, but I don't stay on the island much, this time because my boat is being maintained. ”

Ethan made his way through the stormy seas, reached Central Island for the first time, and then went out to sea again, staying on that island for months, if not counting the time spent on Paradise Island and the Caribbean.

Coupled with the time in the Sea of Calm at the beginning, even if you don't count the time spent in other worlds, Ethan, who was only seventeen years old when he went to sea, is now in his twenties, and the immaturity on his face has long since disappeared, and enough experience has made his temperament much calmer.

His diligent cultivation and adequate nutrition also allowed him to catch the last train of his own development, and his body no longer looked so thin, which he may not have realized himself, but Brent, who saw Ethan again after a long time, could clearly notice the changes in his body.

"You've gotten stronger. ”

"Thank you for your mercy. "Ethan is not an ignorant person, and he was able to kill Keno at Brent's hands in the first place, largely because Brent didn't use all his strength.

Brent didn't want to dwell on this topic, and directly asked Ethan about his recent situation, if there was anything he didn't understand, he could go directly to him if he needed help.

"It's okay for the time being, but I'm starting to get used to life here. ”

Although the three views of the two people are quite different, the other party expresses kindness very clearly, and Ethan can't give people a face, so he expresses his gratitude very sincerely.

"That's good, seeing more and more amazing adventurers makes me feel that the future is full of hope. ”

Ethan gently turned the cup on the table, not knowing how to pick up the topic.

I already knew a lot about the situation in this sea area through Philip. However, Philip was only more familiar with the sea near the central island, and the two sea routes that extended out were only a little rough with Ethan.

Brent has always maintained good intentions for all adventurers, helping rookie adventurers, and is committed to uniting all adventurers, surely because those two routes are too dangerous, so unite all the forces that can be united. But how dangerous is it? Even a strong man like Brent would choose this method?

This question has always been buried in Ethan's heart, and now that he has bumped into Brent, it is just right to ask.

"What are the two routes like?"

Ethan's question made Brent realize that the young man was indeed living well in this sea, and had even begun to set his sights on those two routes.

Brent originally wanted to persuade Ethan to let him live in this sea for a while longer, accumulate his family wealth, and adapt to this sea, and not consider the two routes for the time being.

Because this sea is a very different world from the sea of calm.

Compared to here, the Sea of Calm is like a lake, it is really very calm as the name suggests, there are no complicated sea conditions, and the occasional light rain and some strong winds are considered big troubles.

In this environment, even a small boat of about three meters can sail back and forth on a calm sea.

The changing environment, complex ocean currents, and more violent storms make it difficult for many adventurers to come here after crossing the stormy sea, thinking that it is the same sea as the calm sea before, and it is not uncommon to lose their lives because of this.

But after noticing Ethan's eyes, Brent changed his mind.

This young man did not seem to be influenced by the words of outsiders, and since he had lived in this sea area for some time, he must have had a clear understanding of the situation here, which could be inferred from the fact that he was able to ask about the two routes.

"Those two routes will become more and more dangerous as we go deeper. ”

In this case, it is better to let Ethan have a good understanding of the situation of those two routes, and if he is already determined to attack those two routes, he can also have enough understanding and be fully prepared in advance.

"Complex ocean currents, variable climates, and increasingly scarce resources. ”

Changes in the currents and winds will directly affect the sailing conditions of the sailboats, and the climate will also cause a lot of trouble for the adventurer, according to Brent's description, on both routes there will be any kind of weather, maybe some time under the heat of forty degrees, and then into a region of minus thirty degrees.

It is not uncommon for storms and blizzards to be raging in turns, and the wind direction is not regular, and one second sailing with the wind may not be at all at all.

If this is just a trouble in navigation, then it is possible to find an island in half a year of sailing, which is a huge existential crisis.

"There's only one unsinkable island in this area, the Central Island, you know that. ”

Ethan nodded, if you start from the central island, the farther you sail from the central island on those two routes, if you can't find the floating island on the way to replenish enough supplies, then you won't be able to hold out to the destination at all, and you will run out of food and starve to death at sea.

However, it is not easy to find floating and sinking islands on these two routes, and even if there are floating and sinking islands in some areas, you can't find them in advance with the pointer, and sometimes it is purely by luck.

"Magnetic field interference?"

Ethan had always thought that the island pointer issued by the guild would not be disturbed, but now it seems that it is not like that, but the Sea of Calm does not have the kind of environment that can interfere with the pointer.

"Other than that......"

For Brent, these troubles were tricky, but they were not too much of a problem, the biggest trouble was that food and supplies were not easy to replenish, and if a large enough fleet was formed, it would not be impossible to hold out from the central island directly to the end of the route.

With Brent's prestige, it doesn't seem impossible to gather a group of adventurers, so Ethan believes that there must be more trouble, otherwise why would Brent want to have as many excellent adventurers as possible?

"Other than that, the biggest trouble on the way is all kinds of monsters. ”

"Monsters?"

This sea area is enough to give birth to all kinds of creatures, and there are creatures on many islands, such as Xiao Ou, who was caught and kept as a pet.

Xiao Ou doesn't seem to be lethal, but in fact he is a special creature that feeds on magic stones and can use the energy contained in them.

So it's not surprising that there are more ferocious and powerful creatures, which will undoubtedly cause a lot of trouble for adventurers.

Considering the long range and the consumption of food and water, the number of crew members must be controlled within an appropriate amount, and loading a large amount of food means reducing the reserve of weapons.

With a small number of men and a large supply of weapons, it seems that only enough strong men can be gathered to cope with this situation. It's no wonder that Brent has always hoped for more good adventurers to emerge.

This is not the end, what Brent said next directly negates the idea that Ethan considered in his mind to avoid these monsters as much as possible.

Many of these monsters are capable of flying or moving through the sea, and they also need to find food to sustain themselves - these monsters are aimed at the small floating islands and adventurers who want to pass through this sea.

Therefore, adventurers have to face not only all kinds of bad sea conditions, but also face the competition and hunting of monsters, and only if they can solve all the problems perfectly, can they reach the end of the voyage - and then scarred to attack the even more terrifying stormy sea.

"Sounds like suicide. ”
