The Dawning and the Eternity have made a verbal alliance agreement, in which Cleo promises to do everything in his power to help Ethan get whatever he wants on the island, but this commitment is limited to him personally, and he will not joke with his crew.

This would make his crew more loyal, and several of the sailors who were rescued by Ethan immediately stated that they would do everything in their power to help Ethan with their captain, as a way to report Ethan's kindness in rescuing them from the island.

Ethan didn't say no, it's actually a good thing that the other party is willing to repay the favor with this, not to mention that he won't really let the other party be cannon fodder to help him hit a right path, he just needs the Eternity to provide some labor now.

"I don't know exactly what's on this island, but I think it's enough for both of our ships. ”

Ethan gave one final piece of advice before returning to his boat: "By the way, there's something weird about the water on this island, and it's best not to use it until you really figure it out...... Especially drinking. ”

Cleo nodded his head to indicate that he understood, he was not going to let any of the crew leave the Eternity again, anyway, the ship was still well stocked, and for adventurers of their level, drinking water was the easiest problem to solve - any slightly larger ship would have a water purification device installed on it, and it would be extracted directly from the sea to make clean water for the crew to use.

Ethan reminded Cleo and flew back to his Goddess of Dawn, not walking back from the shore because he wasn't sure if he would be attacked once he set foot on the island.

So far, he has only slowly begun to be attacked when he has gone deep into the island, but the previous temptation has made him realize that the energy of this island will mobilize energy to attack a target according to the situation, and he is not sure if he has been targeted by this power.

After landing on the deck of the Aurora, Ethan told Logan and Diana what Cleo had promised.

Diana didn't say anything, and Logan thought more.

"Can you believe what this man says?"

"No, you can't. Ethan is not a naïve person, he will not trust a stranger plainly: "But the other party has shown good intentions, and we can treat it as an ally before we do anything to threaten us." ”

This means that cooperation is possible, but sufficient vigilance must be maintained. It is not a difficult thing to see a smile on the surface and a stab in the back, in this world there is no formal legal provision at all, and the key factor that determines a person's behavior is the person's moral level.

Under such circumstances, it is already very unusual for this world to maintain a considerable degree of order and not turn into a completely chaotic world.

"Anyway, let's have a normal night's rest, the other party has just arrived here, and has suffered a setback, so it is estimated that we will have to slow down for a while, and wait until tomorrow when we officially explore the interior of the island. ”

Ethan and they have been prepared for a long time, but now they have to cooperate with the Eternity, and they need to take care of this ally. Besides, Diana also needs some time to learn some 'basics', and exploring it tomorrow is also very suitable for Ethan's needs.

So the day was spent in all sorts of discussions.

Diana had a more detailed understanding of the world, and at the same time a better understanding of human nature, these things Ethan would not have told her before, because Diana at that time would think about everything for the better, and it was difficult for her to listen to what human nature was sinister.

After experiencing a lot of things firsthand, Diana began to accept such theories, and after understanding that the world was not as beautiful as she thought, Diana was a little shocked. Fortunately, with Ethan's point before, there was not much fluctuation overall, and I slowly accepted a more 'realistic' world.

This was something she had to realize, considering that she would definitely have to return to her own world in the future, and that she would see more and worse things when she lived alone, and there was no one to enlighten her at that time.

In the original plot, after living in human society for decades, Diana almost lost faith in human beings for a long time, and began to turn to the neutral camp to quietly watch everything, if it weren't for the appearance of the destroyer, maybe she would have been quietly lurking among humans.

It boils down to the fact that the worldview has been impacted, and now that she is better able to accept all this, maybe Wonder Woman will be active for a long time.

That might be a bit more interesting, but Ethan's energy isn't on that, or even on the island he's about to explore.

He took the stealth suit he had received from the Assassin, spread it out on his test bench, and explained to Logan and Diana in detail the approximate capabilities of the kit.

"Looks like a ...... made of some kind of polymeric material"

It's like a set of tights with protective parts such as breastplate, arm guards, and shin armor, which doesn't look very big and seems to be worn only by very thin people. Logan tried it and found that even his own size could easily put on this outfit.

"Are you sure you didn't bring it back from some high-tech world?"

Diana couldn't see anything yet, but Logan felt that the appearance of this thing was full of futuristic atmosphere, although there were magical things such as magic stones in this world, but this set of equipment in front of him didn't seem to be a matter of pure magic.

"The Assassin has returned here from the next sea. ”

Ethan hadn't known much about the sea, especially the suicide route, so he didn't find anything wrong. But now that I think about it, the ship that the Assassin was piloting could dive underwater, but other than that, there was nothing peculiar about that ship, and it was not a big deal compared to his own ship.

At that time, he didn't realize that something was wrong, and only then did he realize that it was abnormal.

This route is far more dangerous than imagined, even if he drives from the other direction to the central island, the less dangerous it is, there is something wrong with it.

"That guy's boat is so ordinary...... Usually there are such ships everywhere in this area. That ship was supposed to be used only to disguise its identity. ”

Ethan, who understood this, understood that the suit in front of him represented the strength of the next sea, and he began to speculate on the general situation of the next area based on this thing.

"I'm not sure if it's a one-size-fits-all piece of equipment, but even if it's a high-end piece of equipment that some people can have, it means that most adventurers have similar low-end alternatives. ”

Cleo's equipment can prove this, he doesn't think that what Cleo has is a rare rarity in the next sea.

"So...... What's the next sea going to look like?"

"Maybe sailboats will be completely eliminated. ”

Ethan believed that a purely wooden sailboat would not have reached the end of the route, and that even if it had barely reached the back of the route, it would be in great danger.

On the central island, he had seen some of the ships with metal skins added to them, and thrusters made of magic stone technology, although he had not seen any real all-metal ships, but the tendency was already evident.

"You have to figure out what kind of ship your new ship should be as soon as possible. ”

Logan's words are very reasonable, Ethan still wanted to design his new ship according to the situation on this route, but now it seems that the previous plan is still too conservative, he can't always passively adjust his ship according to the environment, in that case he doesn't know how many times to change ships.

"Although there are many problems, this time it was necessary to change to an excellent ship. ”

The all-metal structure is already a no-brainer, even if it takes a year or two to build it, he can afford to wait.

The displacement is not yet certain, and the specific structure of the ship has not yet been decided, it is certain that he needs to integrate all his technology into this new ship.

"What is certain is that the new ship will definitely be a battleship. ”

In such a world, you can't always build a yacht, right? Considering the possibility of conflict at sea, warships are almost a necessity.

"It's a different story on the inside, but we can discuss what kind of look we should choose."

Several people present were energetic people, and even if they didn't sleep, it wouldn't affect their actions the next day, and after discussing them together for a while, the topic unconsciously deviated.

From worrying about what kind of warship should be built in the next sea area, to what kind of appearance should be chosen that is more in line with the aesthetics of several people.

"Battleship?"

Diana's impression of warships is still stuck in the age of sails, so she doesn't have any suggestions, but Logan has a lot of affection for some weapons of World War I and World War II.

"Isn't the tonnage too big?"

"For now, a little more tonnage might not be a bad thing. Before, he thought that it would be enough to build a 10,000-ton steel battleship, but looking at this suit on the table, maybe it would be safe to build a bigger and stronger one.

"How's the Iowa-class?"

Considering the survivability at sea and the combat effectiveness of a single ship, the battleship is the first choice, and the Iowa class should be the last battleship, and it is also the battleship that Logan is most familiar with.

Ethan touched his chin and recalled the appearance of the Iowa-class in his impression, which was generally very much in line with his aesthetics, although he personally preferred the battlecruiser Hood and the Bismarck-class battleship.

Of course, no matter which one you choose, in fact, only the appearance is the same or even just similar, and the core is not the same thing at all. Tony Stark's black technology aside, there must be more powerful magic stone technology and a magic array that Ethan will definitely arrange.

"A battleship that releases an energy beam and has an energy shield...... Felt like ...... had been seen somewhere."
