Chapter 6 Danger is around you

Ethan has not obtained a clear answer to whether the endless land is a legend that fools people or does it really exist.

After completing the party and receiving an inconspicuous pointer, Ethan was taken to a place specially for adventurers to rest.

Although there is only one separate bedroom and a small bathroom, the environment here is simply paradise for adventurers who have been wandering around the sea for a long time.

A clean bed, you can use water and food that you can eat.

"This guild is even stronger than I thought to be able to provide these for free."

Looking back at the clerk before, the mental fluctuations escaping when using the magic stone, Ethan knew that the guy who always smiled was definitely not an easy-to-provoke existence.

"What should I do next?"

Ethan took out the magic stone that Wood gave him, which was the only thing he could exchange for resources. In addition, the clothes and books that Ancient One gave him. None of these two are worthwhile and could not exchange for supplies that could support him going to sea.

"So...I don't have a choice at all, right?"

The magic stone that Wood gave him is his only hope for going to sea next time. If you have to keep it, you can only rely on water creation and obtain food from the sea, and then hope to find the island - or space-time energy in the shortest time.

"Put your hopes on the unknown, and it's enough to do it once."

Moreover, by reading the information provided by the guild, Ethan increasingly understood what the survival rules of this world are: adventurers collect materials in exchange for items that can increase their chances of survival, such as better ships, etc., and then rely on a better foundation to find more materials, and then continue to improve their strength.

Such a cycle is the most basic survival rule of this sea and the rule that the Adventurers Guild strives to maintain.

"It is the bottom line to exchange this magic stone for enough food. You can't prepare water... No, it's too conspicuous, so you still need to prepare it."

After setting the direction to do, Ethan's brain turned rapidly, planning what he wanted to do next.

"If possible, change a boat as soon as possible. The capacity and safety of your boat are too poor. A slightly larger wave is at risk of overturning - even if it is not drowned, it will cause material losses."

What is uncertain is the price of ships in this world. Perhaps that is not a goal that can be achieved in a short period of time. In that case, you have to control your range of activities.

Looking at the pointer you received before, the pointer issued by this guild looks inconspicuous, but it has an important function - it can point to the floating islands that exist within a certain range around it, so that adventurers can find their targets more quickly.

In addition, there is a knob outside the box. With a light turn, the pointer will point to the direction of Stat Island, allowing adventurers to find the way home no matter how far they drive.

Putting the pointer in hand, Ethan continued to exercise the simplest mental strength, and even if he couldn't see any progress, he was persisting, because this was the only way he knew to make himself stronger.

"This world... doesn't necessarily seem so peaceful..."

Danger is actually not far away. Being a good person does not mean that everyone will treat you well.

"I hope it's my villain..."

After a good night of rest, Ethan did not continue to waste time, so he went to the guild hall to trade the magic stones in his hand as soon as possible.

He did not choose to go to the market because there were many people and had no means to protect himself, so he might encounter something.

The guilds are relatively safer, even if they are given a commission, they will suffer some losses in price.

In fact, the situation was much better than Ethan expected. The guild did not cheat him. He even directly told him: This is a high-quality combat magic stone, which can be exchanged for enough supplies and even a lot of wealth. If you only exchange food and water, it would be enough for Ethan to have enough food and clothing on the island for a while.

"Can you change a ship?"

Ethan's inquiry not only did not attract ridicule, but instead attracted the admiration of the guild staff, which seemed to be more pleasing to him - it seemed that the guild was indeed committed to cultivating better adventurers and was more bored with those who were scrambling to life.

Although I don't know what hidden purpose is, the current situation is more beneficial to Ethan.

"How big a boat do you need?"

Ethan thought about it and was not going to recruit strangers because the energy of time and space is not easy to expose, especially when there is a lack of self-protection ability. Then if you are the only one, you cannot drive a boat that is too big.

"It doesn't need to be too big. You can drive alone, mainly to resist some storms."

"Then a ten-meter-long, double-decker sloop is enough." The clerk took out a notebook from the side and asked: "Is the old ship OK? If it is an old ship, you can change something else in addition to the full load of fresh water."

Ethan didn't think about it for long. It didn't matter if the old ship was sturdy and durable. After all, in his opinion, even this ship was only used for transition.

"As long as it is a good boat, it doesn't matter."

"Don't worry, we can definitely use the ships that can be used normally by us. Old ships with hidden dangers will be recycled into wood."

"Timber?" Ethan's eyes lit up: "I have a small boat, do you collect it?"

"Of course! Are they counted in this transaction together?"

Unexpectedly, not only did he get a new ship, but he also used his own small boat to "sell" it out. While Ethan was happy, he also realized that the value of this magic stone was greater than he thought.

Since he sold it, he would not regret it. What made him care about was the title of "My Stone for Fighting".

"This world is indeed not that peaceful."

Inspection, transaction.

Ethan got his new ship, a sailboat about ten meters long, including the deck and bottom layer, although it is similar in length to the original one, but the height is much higher and the draft is much deeper. After discovering the island, it cannot rush over directly, but choose a suitable stopping location; a single mast and a sail; the bow and stern are slightly higher, and there are two cabins, with a small door that allows him to enter.

In addition to storing supplies, these two cabins can also provide him with a place to hide from wind and rain. Although the space is small and cannot even stand up, it is much better than the unshirkable boat he had before.

In addition to the new ship and full of food and water, he chose some basic daily necessities, such as a stove with low-quality fire attribute magic stone function, so that he would not have to burn the entire ship to cook food in the future when he was at sea.

When the transaction was completed and the guild people filled his new ship with food and water, he did not return to the residence provided by the guild, nor stayed on the ship for the night, but drove directly away from Stat Island in a new car that had just been painted with the name "Goddess of Dawn".

When he was busy handing over and loading supplies at the port, he had already felt the malicious sight more than once. Those sights came from strangers he didn't know, and some from one of his "acquaintances".

"Rodney... I didn't see Wood, I wonder if they parted ways... or is Wood hiding deeper?"

I really don't want to think too badly about people, but he has no room for mistakes. The safest way now is to leave Stat Island early and disappear from their sight before all those who have malicious intentions react to them. The probability of being found in the vast sea is undoubtedly much smaller.

Everything was just like Ethan planned. Those who were following the stalkers never expected him to go out to sea. When some people reacted and called for help to chase him, they would have disappeared.

A few ships who had reacted but had no reliable information came to catch up with Ethan - these were probably those who were despised by the guild staff who were scattered by the people who were scattered on the island. They could not survive and were maliciously targeted Ethan. Unfortunately, once they went to sea, they could not catch up with Ethan at all. Although Ethan's ship was an old ship, it was better than those of their bad ships that had not been properly maintained and repaired.

Only after Ethan breathed a sigh of relief was no longer visible from the island of Stat and there was no ship catching up on the sea.

“It’s safe for the time being.”

Next, what he has to consider is to choose a direction and then look for floating islands that may appear at any time.

But before that, he habitually summoned the time and space pointer, wanting to see if his biggest reliance has reached a new goal.

The result did not disappoint him. The time and space pointer that had been showing "Search..." before appeared again, pointing to his side. What made him even more overjoyed was that compared to the triple arrow displayed in the pointer when he first went out to sea, there was only one this time.

This means that the location of space-time energy is not far from oneself, and it can even be said to be very close.

"Luck will be better suddenly, and it turns out that good things will be rewarded."

Before the thought was over, the floating island pointer that he took out began to turn, and soon locked in a direction and never changed again.

"Uh... there is no target when you keep shaking. If you focus on the fixed direction, you will find the floating island... You can't stop this luck even if you come."

Ethan was about to worry about which one to go first, but found that the directions of these two pointers were almost the same.

"Now, let's drive in this direction first and see which one I find first."

Even though he was talking about this, Ethan still had more energy in his mind. Perhaps being able to travel through different planes could give him a higher sense of expectation. So in the following days, he always adjusted his course according to the time and space pointer.

"There are so many worlds, even if you can't stay for too long, there are countless ways to make me live better in this world, even immortal, and become a higher level of life, or something else," he said.

He didn't know how to find endless land, but immortality was also extremely tempting, and it seemed to be closer to himself.

Even if you are too unpredictable to think about those things now, it will not stop Ethan from thinking about these things in his spare time.

But when he found the scattered space-time energy and used the shuttle array, he was then targeted by a group of women wearing leather armor with bows and arrows at all the vital points on his body, the idea was thrown to somewhere.
