Ethan’s Fantasy Drift

This sea area is indeed much larger than the Sea of ​​Calm. According to Philip, after coming out of the Sea of ​​Tranquility, he did not deviate much from the direction, and was generally heading towards the central island.

But it took nearly a month to rescue these people before Ethan saw the central island. This does not include the time he had sailed alone before. In this case, even if he went straight to the island through the storm sea passage, it would take a lot of time. If he suffered heavy losses in the storm, he might not be able to reach it. central island.

With an acquaintance to guide him, it didn't take long for Ethan to find the pier on the central island.

According to Philip's introduction, he doesn't have to worry about finding trouble at all, because there are several docks in the four directions of the central island, and any one of them provides boat berthing service, and only needs to pay a small part of the parking fee.

"It's not like the Sea of ​​Tranquility has only one pier, and it's almost completely controlled by the guild."

When Philip was docking, he and Ethan introduced some details about the difference between this place and the Sea of ​​Calm.

"The piers here have different ownership, but the guild has a certain right to speak in it. The cost of parking the ship seems to be different, and it is basically divided according to the size of the ship and the various services selected."

Simply put, the better the location and the better the service, the higher the price.

At the same time, the guild will not frequently urge adventurers to go out for adventure. As long as you have materials, you can live forever. If you don't have materials, you can't live here.

"Next, let's go to the property transfer."

Since it is an established rule, there are naturally a lot of people dealing with related matters, so the guild specially prepared a small hall to handle this kind of business.

A small hall alone can also avoid the presence of outsiders, and ensure that the transfer of property will not be disturbed and watched by anyone, causing unnecessary disputes.

Although the guild maintains a neutral attitude towards disputes between adventurers, from some measures, they still tend to avoid such a situation.

In the following time, Ethan followed Philip to hand over the property smoothly. In fact, these properties did not belong to Philip personally, but belonged to the whole group of the Advance, and generally only the captain was entitled to use it at will. Only after Philip, the first officer, testified that the whole ship was wrecked, and the remaining few people were rescued by Ethan and were all here, the guild quickly made an accounting and transferred half of the property to Ethan's name.

"What if someone betrayed their captain and claimed that both the captain and the crew were killed, and only himself came to collect the material and property?"

"It's not that this kind of thing has never happened. In that case, the guild will first compensate the ship's adventurers for the loss, and then issue a huge bounty with their own money. Whether the guild members are not, they can use the person's head or corpse to receive the bounty. "

"If there are a lot of people like this, wouldn't the guild lose a lot?"

"Since the guild killed a few such guys regardless of the cost, no one has dared to do so."

After the formalities were over, Ethan wandered around the entire central island under the leadership of Philip, while answering some of Ethan's questions.

"In the beginning, there were indeed some people who relied on their own strength, and the reward offered by the guild could not attract the top powerhouses to do it, so they had a good time at sea."

"However, as the guild began to increase the bounty, and the increase was still doubled: one boat is too little material? Then give it two boats! If two boats are not enough, give four boats! Even famous powerhouses are beginning to be tempted."

"With this level of powerful adventurers willing to take action, those people can't go back to the central island to maintain various ships and replenish supplies. The end result is that they are killed and then exchanged for bounties."

Although this method of fraud can make you rich in an instant, you have to suffer irresistible revenge and lose your life for a momentary pleasure? Adventurers are not so stupid.

What do they seek a life at sea for every day? After all, it's not living. This behavior is fundamentally the opposite of what they originally intended.

Ethan still thought of a situation, that is, after he silently accumulated enough strength, after defrauding enough money and materials, he immediately drove towards those two routes and directly hit the storm sea.

As long as this person is strong enough, even if he is caught up by some adventurers, he will not be killed, and then quickly rush into the stormy sea to get rid of the pursuers. This seems to be the only way to escape the guild's revenge.

"Neither. Who knows if there is still a guild's power in the next sea area?"

After thinking about it, this possibility is very big. Maybe this kind of person worked hard and braved all kinds of dangers to finally rush through the stormy sea area, and found that waiting for him was a revenge that was even more terrifying and powerful than the previous sea area, that kind of despair. , just imagining it makes people feel cold all over.

"So, if you want others to act according to your own rules, you must have enough strength to convince them."

The guild's behavior almost perfectly exemplifies this: my rules have loopholes, but if you dare to take advantage of this loophole, I will kill you directly!

The central island is very large, and Ethan has been around for a long time, just to get acquainted with the vicinity of one of the offices of the guild.

"The island has an office in each direction, which can handle some simple problems, and also has corresponding supporting facilities. There is also a hall similar to the headquarters in the central area of ​​the island, where the facilities are more complete, and some You need to go there when you have a big business.”

"Large business? What?"

"For example, after completing some large-scale commissions issued by the guild, you have to go there to hand over and receive rewards."

What entrustment Philip did not talk about in too much detail. The entrustment given by the guild is not fixed. Once it is released, all offices can be seen in the most conspicuous places. After Ethan sees it, he will naturally understand.

"Like a place to stay, the guild no longer provides it, and adventurers need to go to those personally run taverns and hotels to find accommodation."

Still the same sentence, if you have money, you can live, eat, drink, and drink well. If you have no money, you can find a small hotel or even take a rest in some corners of the tavern.

After walking around with Philip for most of the day, Ethan saw a good place with an elegant and comfortable environment; he also saw the bottom world where the environment was so dirty that mice crawled all over the floor and no one cared about it.

In Philip's opinion, with Ethan's strength and conditions, there is no need to go to those places. He didn't know that if it weren't for half of the property of the Advance, Ethan would have no spare money at all.

Thanks to this half of the property of the Advance, Ethan would not treat himself badly.

I found a restaurant, and a few people had a big meal together. After the meal was over, it also meant that several people had to part.

"Thank you so much for your help and teaching during this time."

When everyone wiped out the food on the table, Ethan was the first to thank Philip.

"At the same time, thank you very much for taking care of the Dawn Goddess so well."

After all, Ethan was born in the wild. Although he learned a lot of knowledge by himself, he couldn't take care of many things, and some details were much worse, such as the maintenance and maintenance of various voyages of ships. For a period of time Stephen and Sean taught him with practical actions.

"The Goddess of Dawn is a good ship, just like her name is a goddess, I hope you can treat her well."

Ships are like wives to sailors. In their eyes, Ethan's Dawn Goddess is just as its name is a goddess-level existence. The two people who have been drifting at sea for many years like this ship very much. During this period of time, the Dawn Goddess was taken care of inside and out like a new ship that was not launched.

"I will."

Ethan felt a little guilty about what he said. He remembered the few ships that he had simply and neatly abandoned, all bearing this name.

Of course, he kept telling himself in his heart: this one is different, this is a custom-made boat with all his wealth. It's a boat that really belongs to him, and he will definitely treat it well - not only that, but he also wants to use all the good things he can think of for her to make her both beautiful and powerful.

Philip, Sean, and Stephen finally thanked Ethan for saving his life, and then left the hotel together. They're going to take care of their own business, like taking the spare ship out for some maintenance, and then recruiting the crew to prepare supplies and start a journey that's theirs.

Ethan sat in the same place for a while, and then booked a room at the hotel after paying for the meal.

The environment here is okay, not top but not bad, the rooms and restaurants are very clean, and the location is not bad, between the areas that I have been familiar with and those I have not seen yet, so that I can continue to familiarize myself with the central island. .

More importantly, just now he used the space-time pointer and discovered the existence of space-time energy nearby. For the sake of convenience, he simply stayed here.

What surprised him was that when Ethan was taken to the hotel's residential area and was about to choose a room, Ethan used his body to block the time-space pointer and found that the pointer changed direction violently with his movements. - which means that the blob of energy is nearby.

On the pretext of looking at the situation in a few more rooms, Ethan finally found the group of space-time energy, but just absorbing the energy would cause too much movement, so he didn't do it in front of the waiter.

After checking in, putting away his salutes, and covering up, he began to extract this group of energy.

Ethan began to get tangled when the energy started.

"What should I do? Go to the new world to continue your adventure?"

But he promised Hippolyta to go to Paradise Island to take a look.

He didn't struggle for too long, since he was an honest and trustworthy person, he decided to use this group of energy to go to Paradise Island and take a look at the situation there.
