Ethan’s Fantasy Drift

Ethan walked back and forth in the cave, determined a position, and looked up at the top of the cave full of rocks.

"What did you find?"

Jack and Elizabeth have been quietly not disturbing him. They came up when they saw him stop, but after seeing Ethan holding his hair up for a while, he opened his arms directly, and then the unremarkable top of the rock cave Cast out a ray of light, shrouding Ethan in it.

"come on in."

Just when he was feeling the magic of the sight in front of him, Ethan reminded them in time to make the two people come back to their senses, and hurriedly ran into the range of the beam of light.

Just as they rushed into the beam of light, their heads were dizzy, and then the feeling of their calves being soaked in water came. When he recovered to see the surrounding situation, Jack found that he had left the previous cave. Came to a very unique place.

"it's beautiful……"

Elizabeth's emotion made Ethan roll his eyes speechlessly. He really didn't see anything beautiful in these barren mountains. Even if nature's ingenious workmanship has created countless wonders, not to mention the wonders of the Fountain of Youth, just talking about beautiful scenery Not including this place.

"Don't move yet."

Ethan stretched out his hand to stop the two who wanted to go forward, took out the book of inheritance, and then pushed the book of inheritance, making it float high in the air.

"What is this doing?"

For Ethan to take out such a big book out of thin air, the two no longer feel that there is anything strange. They are now more curious about what Ethan is doing? At the same time, I stared blankly at the book opening in mid-air, emitting rays of light, sweeping every inch of this place.

"Record the environment here."

He previously guessed that the Fountain of Youth is a natural magic circle formed by nature. To determine this, we need to analyze all the details of this place. At the same time, we can also deduce the principle of this 'magic' through the specific details of this environment. Only in this way Only then can he replicate this Fountain of Youth.

This function of scanning has always been available, but Ethan has not used it before, and is more used to copy books. Later, he got inspiration from Tony's holographic workbench and thought that his book of inheritance could also do this. In fact, his ability to use the book of inheritance to build a magic circle is similar to this.

The Book of Inheritance, which is fully powered on, scans and records information very quickly. Just a few lines of white light swipe through, and all the details of the place are recorded.

In the future, Ethan can use the book of inheritance to analyze all the details of this place at any time to ensure that there will be no mistakes.

"All right."

Looking at the Book of Inheritance that was returned to his hands, Ethan tried to check the contents recorded in it. After he was satisfied, he put the book away, indicating that the two of them could move freely.

But both Jack and Elizabeth were looking at Ethan's empty hands. It wasn't until Ethan reminded them that they remembered that there was a more magical thing not far ahead, waiting for them to discover and verify. Authenticity.

"Is this the Fountain of Youth?"

Jack walked around the strange ring-shaped stone a few times, not seeing anything special about the clear water flowing on it.

Elizabeth also felt a little disappointed. This Fountain of Youth is not as magical as Ethan. What is the difference between this and ordinary spring water?

"It was just ordinary spring water."

Ethan recorded all the details through the book of inheritance. He was not idle, he has been observing the environment of this place, feeling various fluctuations, and already has his own judgment.

Similar to what he had guessed before, this place, with its unique natural environment, produced a special magical effect, which could inject abundant and pure vitality into the stone platform in front of him.

It happened that another clear spring water flowed from the stone platform, almost perfectly flowing through the area with the most abundant vitality on the stone platform, and then at the moment when it dripped down, the vitality it carried reached a peak.

Then, as it drips and merges into the clear water below, the vitality gradually flows away, and is absorbed by the magical ability again and injected into the stone platform, and then wrapped by the flowing spring water again, and so on.

That is to say, those small streams of water that dripped from the stone platform and hadn't yet fallen below. Only this part of the water is the legendary Fountain of Youth.

"The life force in the spring is constant."

This spring contains abundant vitality, so as long as you drink this water, you can replenish vitality, that is, you can increase your lifespan and restore your body to its peak state. For older people, it is to restore youth.

But the magic of this place is that the life force contained in it seems to be constant, it will neither exceed nor decrease. If someone wants to take part of it, this place will automatically draw life force from the surrounding to supplement the missing part.

This supplementary method is relatively violent, and will randomly select targets within a certain range. For example, Jack now drinks a large cup of the spring water from the Fountain of Youth. After reducing a part of his vitality, the mysterious power will be activated, and enough vitality will be drawn from nearby to replenish the missing part.

Ethan and Elizabeth, who are currently in this range, will become the targets of the extraction, and even Jack himself may be killed by this battle to regain his vitality.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this uncontrollable situation that someone has created something like the Holy Grail, so that the magic circle is no longer so 'arbitrary' to extract, but to supplement the lost vitality from a specific target.

Of course, these are the conclusions that Ethan came to by speculating on the environment and the content of the original plot, and there may be some deviations from the facts, but as long as there is such a risk, he must find a way to solve it and avoid bad situations. .

He didn't consider thoroughly analyzing this place first, but now he was thinking about how to take away these springs with vitality, and prevent this mysterious force from launching attacks against them.

"I need some time."

Seeing that Jack was ready to reach for those springs, Ethan stopped him.

"Don't touch this thing for now, it's not an absolutely safe item for you."

Elizabeth, who wanted to reach out her hand, immediately stopped her movements, retracted the hand she had just raised, and asked the same question as Jack.

"Now that the Fountain of Youth has been found, what will you do next?"

"Next." Ethan touched his chin, thinking about where he should start: "I may have to stay here for a while to crack the secrets of this place."

"and then?"

"Then?"

Ethan calculated the time, he should have a lot of time left, but who knows how long it will be delayed here? Maybe the remaining time was just enough for him to fully analyze the Fountain of Youth, or maybe even just enough time for him to solve the problem of how to take the Fountain of Youth away.

"Then I might have to go back to where I came from."

Whether it was Jack or Elizabeth, suddenly there was a feeling. The place that Ethan is going to go back to is not a place they can go to at will, and even Jack asked out of nowhere, "Is it the kingdom of heaven?"

"..."

Ethan really wanted to say that you only went to heaven, but in a sense, a world full of oceans and constant adventures seems to be a heaven for this guy.

Ethan dismissed the two goods at will, and refocused on the study of the Fountain of Youth.

Of course, he's not the kind of research maniac who gets immersed in research and doesn't care about other things. He does something else every day. For example, chatting nonsense with Jack, asking Gibbs about the situation, and even in the mood to give Elizabeth some basic swordsmanship.

Elizabeth's talent is indeed not bad, anyway, much stronger than Ethan at the beginning. Not only does she have good knowledge of sailing, but she also learns very quickly in swordsmanship. The only thing that limits her is her physical fitness. After all, she is an eldest lady, only her agility is not bad, her strength and stamina are very poor, and after a period of training, she can only barely get rid of the pretentious name.

However, with Jack Sparrow, a boring person, as her sparring partner, Elizabeth has completely learned how to use the terrain and environment reasonably to create advantages for herself, not limited to using swordsmanship to fight the opponent head-on, and her mind is flexible enough , Ordinary minions really don't want to do anything to her.

Such days are boring and boring. The active Elizabeth and Jack, who is also not able to stay idle, can't stand it. Just seeing Ethan's increasingly dignified face, they know that this mysterious guy has come to the research of the Fountain of Youth. critical moment.

In the following time, in order to avoid disturbing Ethan, both of them stopped letting Ethan send them out here, but honestly watched Ethan's work.

Until this day, they watched Ethan draw the twentieth strange pattern on the stone platform with their own eyes. Ethan, whose face became more and more solemn, finally showed a long-lost smile.

At this moment, they felt that the whole air had become fresher, and the environment was no longer so depressing, as if their breathing had become much smoother.

"Is it done?"

Jack's face was full of anticipation to get the answer he wanted the most.

"Just completed the first step."

Hearing this answer, he thought he still had to stay in this desolate place, but fortunately Ethan soon gave him new hope.

"We don't have to stay here any longer. When I seal up these springs with vitality, we can leave."

As for the Fountain of Youth? Ethan will not destroy it. According to his calculations and arrangements, the Fountain of Youth will not collapse because of his actions, but will recover in moderation and slowly, when the magic circle he arranged completely fails. , it will also replenish enough vitality to return to its original state.

Ethan just took all the spring water of life at one time, making the spring of youth ineffective for a short period of time.
