Ethan’s Fantasy Drift

The speed of the boat on the sea was not very fast, and the undulating waves seriously affected the speed and direction of the advance. Ethan waited on the boat for a while before the boat rowed near the Dawn Goddess.

Putting down the rope ladder, Ethan stood on the deck waiting for the 'Messenger' to board the ship.

When the distance was close enough to clearly see the situation on both sides, the only woman standing on the boat raised her hands to indicate that she was not carrying a weapon, which was a display of her sincerity.

In order to show his sincerity, Ethan also took off the saber from his waist and handed it to Arthur who was standing on the poop. He wouldn't stay with Ethan and stay where he was, staring at the other party's ship.

"Hello, welcome to the Dawn Goddess."

Only three people came up, and two people stayed on the boat below.

The leader is a tall and beautiful woman with beautiful brown hair, who should be over 1.7 meters tall, wearing low-heeled leather boots about the same height as Ethan. Perhaps because of the long years of drifting at sea, the complexion is not fair. She looks about twenty-four or five years old, she is in her best period for a woman, but this age is still very young among adventurers.

The tight-fitting trousers showed off her figure perfectly. This woman is not the type that is slender and thin, but the type that can see at a glance that her body is full of strength, but she is not as angular as that kind of muscle monster, and still has soft lines; she shows her sharpness from time to time. With sharp eyes, this woman is like a female beast, beautiful and full of danger.

In the same way, the woman opposite was also looking at Ethan. In this woman's eyes, Ethan looked ordinary, no different from many young people. The appearance is ordinary, the figure is ordinary and slightly thin, and there is nothing special at all. It is really unimaginable that this is a strong man who can fight Brent head-on without falling behind.

"Hello, Ethan from Dawn, I'm Helena, Captain of the Vengeful Empress."

Ethan nodded. He didn't shake hands or anything. People living in this world have a huge vigilance against each other. Acting rashly will cause unnecessary misunderstanding. Weapons are enough to show goodwill.

"Then, Helena of the Vengeful Empress, may I ask what you are doing on my ship?"

Straight to the point, Helena, who is the captain, will come to see herself in person, and there must be something important to talk about. The environment at this time is also not suitable for two people to endlessly go around in circles and try to make a correct decision as soon as possible.

Perhaps it was Ethan's directness that Helena admired, the woman showed some admiration, and then made clear her purpose.

"I want to work with you."

"Cooperation?"

Ethan thought about the possible intentions of this woman, which of course included a temporary alliance. But in this case, is this woman going to land on that island?

"Are you going to the island?"

This time Helena not only admired, but Ethan asked, her brows jumped, and then there was a feeling of 'it's not as ordinary as it seems'. Ethan has such a reaction, only worthy of that powerful strength.

"Yes, I want to go to the island."

Ethan frowned: "How much do you know about this island?" He didn't believe that this woman knew nothing about this island. The ship rushed over together. I won't wait so long to come and talk to me about cooperation.

"Not a lot, I only know that this island is very dangerous, but it also has huge benefits." Helena did not hide any intentions, and was very frank: "If it goes well, I will only take one thing, and the rest will belong to you. all."

Helena's offer was quite generous, but Ethan wasn't impressed. He is not an idiot. He cares more about Helena's willingness to take a huge risk and give up most of the items in exchange for the huge benefits that are left to him and others. s things?

"I think it's better to explain everything clearly, and if the thing you want happens to be what we need, something unpleasant might happen."

Ethan's words made the two women behind Helena frown, as if they were not happy with Ethan's words. Instead, Helena didn't care much.

"I'm not quite sure yet, I need to see to know if it is."

"So, what do you want?"

Helena pondered for a while, as if deciding whether to say it or not. Ethan waited quietly, he was not in a hurry at all, he was still evaluating the risk of going to the island.

"I suspect that this island has core-level magic stones."

"Core level? Magic stone?"

Ethan was stunned, he didn't expect to get such an answer at all.

Of course he knew what the magic stone was. It is also known that magic stones can be used as energy for different levels of items according to their quality.

For example, some low-quality magic stones can only be used as consumable energy for some daily necessities, with a short service life and limited magic output. Once the output energy is increased, it will be completely destroyed. This is also the easiest magic stone to find in the calm sea, and it is also the most common magic stone.

Even better are the medium and high-quality magic stones. The magic stones of this grade cover a wide range, and the slightly inferior ones can be used as energy sources for larger daily necessities. There are several items in Ethan's current Dawn Goddess. A medium-quality magic stone is used as a 'battery' for power.

High-quality ones are relatively rare. Magic stones of this level can already be used as equipment items, which can provide a huge increase in combat effectiveness. For example, the name of the hand of flame is obtained from a glove inlaid with fire attribute magic stones. .

In addition, Ethan also learned from the database on State Island that the division of magic stones is not so simple. The guild's database is divided into low-level magic stones.

"Core level? Are you sure?"

Helena shook her head: "I'm not sure, but the situation on this island... I think it's more likely that there are core-level magic stones."

The core level is not a grade division of magic stones, it should be regarded as a function distinction. He had seen some equipment that used core-level magic stones as energy at the shipyard before, so he had a more intuitive understanding.

The so-called core level means that the magic power storage and output have reached a certain level, and it can be used as the main energy source for a long time. The biggest feature is stability and not easy to damage.

Since low-level magic stones are difficult to use as core-level magic stones, the core-level magic stones in this sea area also represent higher-quality magic stones. In theory, it is difficult to find magic stones of this level in the calm sea. Even the magic stone used by the hand of fire is not enough to be called the core level, and can only be barely approached.

It can be said that the core-level magic stone is what Ethan originally thought, and can be used as the fundamental energy body of magic stone technology. The magic stones that Ethan had been in contact with before were all too different.

The only exception was the white magic stone in Ethan's hand. He didn't know these materials before, but after coming into contact with the guild's records, he began to suspect that he was most likely a core-level magic stone. Even if it is not, it should be a high-quality magic stone with a relatively close quality.

It's a pity that he can't judge anymore. Merlin's magical attainments are too high, and the mystery in the Book of Inheritance far exceeds Ethan's current level. He can't judge how much the magic stone plays in it.

He felt that the possibility of this magic stone being at the core level should not be large, and even if he was lucky, it would not be so good. What he didn't expect was that he really found the trace of the core-level magic stone so quickly.

"The value of core-level magic stones is far more than other materials. I don't seem to have any benefit from this transaction?"

Ethan thought for a while and gave his answer.

"If you agree to share the core-level magic stone, then there is a basis for cooperation... Of course, if such a magic stone really exists."

Helena frowned. Ethan's reaction didn't look like a young man at all. She even suspected that the young man in front of her was really only under twenty years old? Isn't it because your face is tender and deliberately pretending to be young?

"How? How did you think about it?"

Ethan was also a little tempted. If Helena didn't agree, he was going to go to the island to search alone. Even if the other party doesn't give up, it's a big deal to compete together.

This situation is obviously not what Helena wants to see. This woman seems to be very afraid of Ethan and doesn't want a conflict. So after struggling for a while, she made her final offer.

"If it is a core-level magic stone, I hope you can give it to me. I can use additional materials to make up for the shortfall. This is my last condition. If you don't agree, we will do our best."

Ethan thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement. He does not have much craving for the so-called core-level magic stone, but he has greater requirements for materials. He needs to build a new ship that is exclusive to him. The current Dawn Goddess is only suitable for the calm sea, not to mention the new sea area. , hitting the sea of ​​​​storms with this ship is completely self-defeating.

"So, what are you going to do next?"

"Go directly to the island, only a few of us will go on our side."

Ethan raised his eyebrows, this situation means that the island is either very safe or very dangerous! Yu Guang glanced at the expressions of the two subordinates, and then contacted the situation observed before, it was obviously the latter.

"What a... unqualified captain..."

Shaking his head secretly, and not commenting on other people's choices, Ethan also made arrangements: "I will accompany you alone, the big boat will not move, and we will land in a small boat."
