Chapter 11 Temporary First Officer
Ethan went to get a lot of food and water, and then placed it on the deck, and ate it with these survivors who finally escaped the disaster and survived successfully.
"Do you have any plans next?"
He is not ready to accept these people. Perhaps the experience and experience of first mate Philip is a helping hand, but it is also optional for him. What's more important is that Philip no longer has much potential, and he has no way to make Philip change his face and keep up with his footsteps.
If you are destined to be unable to accompany you to the end, so in order to avoid being sad at that time, it is better to eliminate this possibility from the beginning.
Unlike Arthur's kind, Arthur's boarding was more like a deal.
Philip took a sip of water, swallowed the food in his mouth, and looked at Stephen and Sean who were staring at him.
"After accompanying these two kids for a while, and after passing on my experience to them... if you haven't died in this sea, you can find a place to wait for the end of your life."
In fact, Philip is not old enough to that extent, but in this world, it is difficult for people to live so long. Most of the people who roam on the sea before they even get old are buried in the sea.
By the age of Philip, his physical fitness has begun to decline across the board and gradually approaches the threshold of old age. When rich experience and experience encounter some dangers, they cannot change the fact that the danger that could be escaped with a strong body is a situation of mortality for them.
"First mate."
Stephen and Sean were at a young age and strong age. They did not lack the opportunity to "work". Even if Ethan did not take them in, they could find a job on any ship with their sailing experience and healthy and strong bodies.
But Philip meant that they wanted them to take them to make a fortune, and then hand over all their experiences and property to two people, treating them as heirs.
"Don't say it, you are the last hope on the Advance. I don't have high requirements for you. As long as you can make the Advance continue to be active on this sea, I will be satisfied."
Without caring about the reactions of the two people, Philip turned his head to Ethan: "According to the rules of the sea, after we save us, our property will belong to Captain Ethan. In addition to a lot of supplies, our property in the Progress property also has a spare ship stored in the Guild. I hope Captain Ethan will not take this ship away for the time being. We can make a debt clause and count it as we purchased from you."
"Captain Ethan doesn't have to worry that we can't repay. Although the three of us are not top adventurers, we also have rich experience. As long as we spend some time, we can make up for this part of the gap..."
In order to encourage adventurers to apply rescue when they encounter their dead peers, the default rule is that all the rescued persons will be given half of their property to the rescuer. Of course, some greedy people will demand more or even all of their property. This is not a formal guild rule, but in this sea area, it is a rule that all adventurers will abide by by default.
Ethan just came here and was not very familiar with these default unspoken rules. Even if he knew that Philip only gave half of them, there was nothing wrong with it.
But Philip gave up all his property very simply, and he did not feel unreasonable about his decision Sean and Stephen - they all knew what kind of terrible enemy Ethan had destroyed, and he and others could save their lives from the hands of such monsters, and there was nothing unreasonable about handing over all his property.
At this time, Ethan learned some details of the default rule and had the opportunity to speak: "I won't take them all away, just take half of them, and the rest will be used as the basis for you to start over."
"this……"
Philip wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Ethan: "I just said half of it. It's not that I pretended to be generous, but that the rest was just for tuition. You need to talk to me about some things about this sea area in the next period." Due to the existence of several people, Ethan changed his plan and no longer gave priority to searching for the floating island but went directly to the non-sinking island in this sea area.
"All right!"
Of course, this kind of thing is not worth so much material. Philip could see that Ethan was helping them, but he had already said too much of his thanks, and he seemed pretentious.
So Philip really took out all the skills and knowledge he relied on to survive. In the following days, he became the first mate of the Goddess of Dawn. While helping Ethan adapt to this sea area, he passed on all the experience in his mind to Ethan.
Stephen and Sean became temporary boatmen on the Goddess of Dawn, working hard to do all kinds of trivial tasks. Every day, they don’t see their free time. They will take the scrubbing tools to clean the deck with a little time.
Whether it was a sailing warship or later a steel warship, the deck was a severely affected area before the chemical coating appeared.
Every day, the sputtering corrosion of the wind and sun and the splashing corrosion of Shanghai water and the repeated disasters of rain and snow will soon rot and damage if not maintained regularly.
Ethan was always busy with his own affairs before, and only cleaned the deck occasionally. In the future, he had to completely replace the deck every time he went to the shipyard for repair.
Seeing these three people working so hard, if it weren't for his will to be firm enough to remember what he wanted, he really had the urge to invite them to stay on his boat.
Fortunately, these three people are experienced people. It can be seen that Ethan did not intend to invite them, but just to save face, so he did not make this point clear.
So no one asked to stay on this ship, just working hard every day to do 'what they should do' and then quietly wait for the day to arrive at the Central Island.
"The Central Island is not actually in the center of this sea area."
Philip would tell Ethan about the situation in this sea area in his spare time every day.
"This sea area is the shape of a hoof as a whole." There are also livestock and animals in this world, and they have developed hoof as a hoof. "The central location at one end of the arc is the location of the central island, and the middle part of the recess of the entire sea area is the storm sea that can go to the barren sea... that is, the passage to the calm sea."
Ethan outlined in his mind and understood what Philip meant. This sea area was like a horseshoe that surrounded three sides of the calm sea. He came to the horizontal center through the passage, and the closest island was the central island of this sea area.
There is the largest non-sinking island in this sea area. It should be similar to Stat Island, with guild shipyards and other facilities.
"So, what are the ends of those two extending out?"
Philip looked at Ethan, but he didn't expect that this young man had such a great ambition. He had just arrived here and began to think about the situation at the end of the two roads.
However, after looking at this "powerful" Goddess of Dawn and thinking about Ethan's powerful personal strength, it seems that this is natural.
“The end of there is also the storm waters.”
"There is no road?" Could it be that this is the whole world? It shouldn't be? What does the legendary endless land mean? From Philip's description just now, he did not feel that there was much difference from the sea of peace.
It’s just that the sea is no longer square but hoof-shaped, and the overall area is larger; the sea surface is no longer calm like a lake, but the waves are surging closer to the sea conditions I knew in my previous life; the weather has become worse, such as the mid-level storm of the passage I had experienced before, which will also be encountered in this sea area; the situation of floating islands has become more complicated, and there are more islands with living creatures.
What else? It seems that the overall situation is still the same as before?
"No, there is a way!"
Philip nodded affirmatively: "Even the storm waters is a sea area, and the storm conditions in the storm waters are not constant all year round."
Ethan suddenly realized: "You mean that although the end of those two roads is also the storm waters, the strength of the storms in those two places will change certainly. Just take advantage of the weaker storms and you can go to the new seas to take advantage of the weaker storms and go to the new seas?"
“That’s how it is.”
Philip suddenly shook his head helplessly. Almost all adventurers at the sea knew about these things, but for many people, it was just a rumor to listen to.
He has lived on the Forward for more than 20 years. His old friends have claimed more than once that they will rush through the storm to go to a new world, but they have gradually stopped mentioning it over the years. Even he himself has long since lost the idea of going to the new sea area to see the experience, and has lived a peaceful and peaceful life in this sea area. Sometimes he encountered some exciting life.
"But you have to know one thing, that is, those two sea areas that extend from this area, the worse the sailing to the end. If you want to hit the storm waters, it is best to adapt here for a while... In addition, I suggest you recruit some strong partners."
Philip originally wanted to wait until he was about to leave before mentioning this with Ethan, so as to avoid the suspicion of self-promotion. However, after realizing Ethan's ambition, he realized that even if the other party invited him to stay, he might not agree.
His ability to live to this day is because of his self-knowledge. He cannot and cannot help Ethan to go where he wants to go. His rich experience is only applicable to this area.
"Sailing...after all, it's not something that can be done by one person."
