Ethan’s Fantasy Drift

Quickly rescue the two people who fell into the water, and then asked if there were any survivors? After getting a negative answer, Ethan quickly turned the ship's bow and moved away from this sea area as quickly as possible.

His boat was too small, and although there was still a certain distance from the range of the storm, just the aftermath made him feel that his boat could capsize at any time.

It wasn't until he drove a long way and the waves gradually became smaller that Ethan felt a little relieved. Looking back, the storm didn't seem to be moving this way, and he had time to look at the two people who were rescued - one of them was slightly The emaciated one was about forty years old, and his handsome face was already engraved with the traces of the years; the other was about thirty years old, when he was in his prime, his clothes were soaked and his tendons were exposed. Meat is proving it too.

"Thank you so much for saving your life."

The older man, after drinking a few sips of water, immediately thanked him, and then handed the wooden spoon in his hand to the man next to him.

It can be seen that the two of them are old sailors, and they are very careful when drinking water, for fear of wasting it, even if they have just saved their lives, I don't know how long it has been since they drank water.

"you are welcome."

After the other person finished drinking the water, Ethan took the wooden spoon back and put it away, and then asked what happened to the two people.

The two were indeed old sailors. The older one was named Wood, and the younger one was named Rodney. They had been wandering in this sea area for several years, and they were considered to have some background.

Wood has a decent sailboat in his hands, and he has a few good helpers by his side. Several of them have been busy on this sea for several years, and finally made up their minds a few days ago: to cross the sea of ​​​​storms and go to a new sea.

It was only at this point that Ethan learned of the magic of this world from Wood's mouth.

It is not clear what this world is like. Although Wood has been at sea for several years, he only knows that the sea under his feet is called the Sea of ​​Calm, and it is a relatively 'peaceful' sea.

How big is the Sea of ​​Calm? Wood is not clear, only know that it is very big! But he was pretty sure that the Sea of ​​Calm was not boundless.

Just around the Sea of ​​Calm, there are violent storms, rain, lightning, and thunder that never stop all year round, enclosing the Sea of ​​Tranquility like a wall. These stormy regions that encircle the Sea of ​​Calm are known by all as the Sea of ​​Storms.

Compared with the more dangerous the closer to the edge, the safer the closer to the middle of the sea of ​​​​silence. There are no strong winds and waves, and marine products are abundant. As long as they have been sailing at sea for many years, they only need to ensure sufficient drinking water, but they do not need to worry too much about food.

"Even if you can't find an island, you can find enough food from the sea to last until we return to State Island to replenish supplies."

As for Ethan's question about the island, he never even saw a reef, not to mention the island after he went out to sea.

In this regard, Wood said that although it is amazing and unbelievable, the most amazing thing about the calm sea is these islands that appear and disappear suddenly.

"They may pop up suddenly, and in a short period of time, they will be covered with various plants and fruits, and then these plants will wither and die suddenly, and as the whole island sank to the bottom of the sea, there is no trace."

These are said to pop up suddenly from the bottom of the sea, and then turn into islands full of lush vegetation and fruit in a short time. The duration of existence varies. I heard from Wood that the shortest time he has ever seen existed for only a few days, and then it would sink. disappeared into the sea.

It is said that in the entire calm sea, only State Island is an island that never sinks, and its area is not small, and it has almost become the center of all people living in this sea.

Except for State Island, there are only a few places where a few small islands exist, and they are far apart from each other. Ethan lived before was one of them.

"So, those people who left the island and went to sea in the past all went to this big island called Stater?"

Unfortunately, Wood soon gave a negative answer.

"It's a pity that although State Island is not small, it can't accommodate so many people. Only a few people can settle on the island for a long time. Most people still have to venture out at sea to make a living, by looking for those islands that suddenly appear. , to collect the above materials in exchange for what is needed to sustain life."

Wood looked at Ethan: "Young man, you should have just left your hometown..."

"Yes!" Ethan briefly introduced himself, but he skipped most of the content, only saying that his parents had passed away, and he didn't want to stay, so he came out to wander.

As soon as he said this, he noticed that Rodney, who had been silent for a long time, showed a look of 'this guy is mentally retarded', but he quickly controlled his expression. If it wasn't for Ethan's cultivation spirit these days The force makes the senses slightly stronger, and I'm afraid I won't find it.

Wood said with a smile: "Young people are very courageous, but although this calm sea looks good, it is not a good life to wander on the sea for many years to find those islands that suddenly appear at some point in time. ."

As for persuading Ethan to stop dreaming, to go home and live a life honestly, he didn’t say anything. Maybe he’s seen too many young people with dreams?

"There will be something worth collecting on those islands?"

Finally, I have a general understanding of what this world is like. Although Ethan thought it was a bit nonsense, he had encountered all the time travel, and he had a magical pointer in his hand, so it wouldn't be a big deal if the world was a little weirder.

"Food, minerals, wood... As long as you can move it, almost everything you can see can be collected and sent to State Island in exchange for the supplies you need, and you can even order boats, recruit sailors, etc... "

Ethan understood that everything that can be found is useful. After all, in a world full of seas, everything can be lacking, and naturally everything is useful.

State Island, like an online game town, helps adventurers convert the resources they find into what they need and sell them back, and in this way maintains the survival of everyone here.

"It seems that there should still be a fairly powerful ruler on this island." Without absolute strength, it is impossible for everyone to act according to the rules he has set.

Wood's enlightenment teaching to Ethan, a rookie, continued, and the basic common sense about the Sea of ​​Calm was stuffed into Ethan's brain.

He also finally realized that the world really does not have the concept of north, south, east, and west. The way they identify the direction is the direction of the rising and setting of the sun.

"We are sailing in the direction of the rising sun now, and we can reach State Island. If you really want to eat at sea, then I suggest you go to the Voyagers Guild to apply for membership when you arrive on the island."

"what is that?"

With Wood's explanation, Ethan has another in-depth understanding of the world.

The Voyagers' Guild provides some conveniences for adventurers who live and eat at sea, such as providing basic clothing, food, housing and transportation; helping to store materials that are not needed for a while and not easy to get rid of, or selling these materials on behalf of them; at the same time, it also provides an open Trading platform; in addition, personal property can be stored in the personal account of the Voyager Guild, etc.

At the same time, the guild will also give adventurers some convenience, such as giving priority to providing some rare materials, and even giving priority to helping guild members repair or build ships.

"And when you have a good enough crew and a good enough ship, then you can try to cross the safest route in the sea of ​​​​storms, reach new sea areas, and head towards the legendary endless sea. The land is one step closer..."

Wood has said before that he and his partners only try to cross the sea of ​​​​storms when they feel that their strength is enough. Starting from State Island, sailing straight in the direction of the setting sun is the safest route in the Sea of ​​Storms.

However, the safest route is only relative to crossing the sea of ​​​​storms from other locations. This route is less stormy, and there is no lightning and thunder at the weak point of the waves.

Clearly, Wood failed. Luckily they weren't too far into the Sea of ​​​​Storm, so he and Rodney saved their lives and persisted until they were rescued by Ethan.

After talking for a long time, Wood just leaned there and fell into a deep sleep. He and Rodney persisted in the sea for an unknown amount of time, and their physical strength had already reached the limit.

Only the extreme excitement and joy after being rescued made him in a state of excitement, so he was able to tell Ethan a lot of things. When this momentum passed, and the fatigue came uncontrollably, he couldn't hold on any longer, and slept like a dead pig.

Rodney slept very deadly, even if he was curled up and couldn't stretch, he didn't mean to wake up because of discomfort.

The small wooden boat was already full of things, and now there were three people crowded. After looking at it, Ethan decided to sit by the rudder and lean on a pile of debris to deal with it for the night.

The inescapable lesson of guarding against others always alerted him, and he didn't dare to let go of his heart and fell asleep, so he simply sailed through the night on the grounds of hurrying, just taking time to close his eyes and rest for a while.

The next few days were relatively calm, Ethan was always vigilant, and Wood and Rodney didn't seem to have any intention of harming anyone. Wood still taught Ethan some basic common sense, and Rodney was still so taciturn. The three people and a small boat went straight to the largest unsinkable island in the calm sea: State Island.

The boat found a place to park in the prosperous port of State Island, and the three who finally stepped on the ground again officially said goodbye.

"It's hard to repay the kindness of saving your life. If you need me in the future, Ethan, you can leave a message for me in the guild, just say it to Captain Wood of the Swordfish."

Most people in this world don't seem to have surnames, so in order to avoid getting the wrong person by the same name, extra annotations will be added.

"And this thing for you, as a meal for these days." As he spoke, Wood took out a small red stone and stuffed it into Ethan's hand: "This is a fire attribute magic stone, it should be used for you Some use."
