Chapter 29: Companion 1

"Is this your boat?"

The young Arthur was still in a state of seeing everything fresh, and he grew up in the small isolated valley in Merlin. The appearance of the sea also made him very interested.

After staying on the plane of King Arthur for an extra period of time, Ethan returned to the calm sea again.

This time, he was finally no longer alone. The young King Arthur came here with him, and he finally understood how the shuttle magic circle brought people back.

For creatures with autonomous consciousness, as long as they stand within the range of the magic circle, and at the same time subjectively willing to ‘follow’ Ethan to shuttle together, the shuttle circle will transmit them together.

For those without self-consciousness, such as minerals, water, books, etc., Ethan needs to "bring" them back. Just putting them in the magic circle or being touched by Ethan will not let them be sent back together. .

"It turned out to be like this."

After Ethan gained some control over the space-time energy, he finally got new information. Perhaps as the degree of control increases, he will eventually understand all the mysteries of this magic circle. At that time, he may be able to use his magic power to remind him. The magic circle is activated instead of relying on the pointer to find specific space-time energy.

Suddenly remembering something, Ethan turned his head and glanced at the hourglass not far away. The sand in it has just flowed down a little bit, as if it was just starting to time the clock.

"So every time I shuttle, the time on this plane is stagnant?" Ethan shook his head: "No, it should be that the time when I returned from the shuttle was very close to the time when I left. It seems this magic The formation is not only as simple as being able to shuttle through the plane, but also involves the realm of time."

Turned his head and looked at Arthur again, the blond boy cut his long blond hair short, because Ethan told him that he was sailing on the sea and his hair was too long to take care of. It was more convenient to have short hair, so he deliberately cut it out before setting off. There was a hair-Ethan discovered that after Arthur had cut his hair short, there was a small cut of his hair that was particularly eye-catching, and he stubbornly refused to stick it on his head together with other hair.

In addition, the young Arthur also possessed various equipment gifted by Merlin, including silver-white light armor and blue tabard, two-handed broadswords over 1.2 meters in length. As for many miscellaneous things, Ethan It's not very clear, only know that in the end Merlin also cast a blessing spell on Arthur, so that Arthur will not be drowned in the sea.

Not only Ethan didn’t know the specific effect of this blessing, but Arthur didn’t know too much. He was just confused and felt that the endless sea water was very kind.

After a while, Arthur has already visited the entire boat, and at the same time noticed the smaller boat behind: "Is that your trophy?"

"No, this boat is my trophy."

Before, he roughly talked about the situation of the calm sea, but his experience here was not as detailed as he said.

"It seems that there are many shameless villains in this world."

"Without restrictions, many people will constantly break through the moral bottom line."

The interior space of this Caravelle sailing ship is not only spacious, but also divided into various uses, including a separate captain’s room and a rest area for the ordinary crew.

But now there are only two people on this ship, and the captain's room is also sufficient, and Ethan directly used it as a common lounge for two people.

As for the bed? Although Arthur is the heir to a kingdom, he has received various trainings since he was a child. Although he has no worries about food and clothing in life, he has not cultivated a noble style in life. It is not very different from ordinary people, so for the rest room The environment did not feel bad.

"I urge you to take off this armor set on your body and put it away. Wearing this thing is to make yourself suffer."

Ethan took off his armor as early as the first time he came back. If he wears it for a while, it is estimated that it will turn into an oven again.

The sea conditions in the calm sea are very good, which means that most of the time the sun is very bright, and the metal armor will be burnt hot after less than an hour in the sun.

Arthur, this silly boy, was already sweating, and he didn't even think about taking off his armor, and he didn't know whether he was obsessed with the "Knight's Way" or simply unresponsive.

After Ethan's words were finished, he saw the boy hurriedly remove the armor, and then let out a sigh, Ethan realized that it was the latter.

"But here seems to be full of dangers. Is it really okay to not wear armor all the time?"

"Relax, there is an advantage to being at sea, that is, you can see far away. When you find other ships, you will not only have enough time for you to judge whether the opponent is an enemy, but also have enough time for you to fight before the battle. ready."

In fact, these things were something that Ethan just wanted to understand not long ago, so I will use it to educate Arthur now.

By the way, I also taught some common sense about living at sea. Ethan asked him to organize his salute first-Arthur brought not a few things, enough for a few large boxes.

He himself ran to the place where he used to store the books, and took out the book of inheritance with his left hand. Under the urging of mental power, the book of inheritance floated in the air in front of his left palm, and the opened pages were facing the books. Books emit white light, drawing these books into themselves one by one.

Mellin’s Inheritance Book, when recording data, you can choose between complete absorption and pure data copying.

Simple data copying is a bit more troublesome, more wasteful of time, and requires more mental energy to stimulate. However, it will save a lot of trouble to fully absorb. A light shines through, and the locked book slowly disappears in the light, and the content of it is completely recorded by the book of inheritance. When reading, it is no different from reading the original book, as if it was just a change of cover.

"It really helped a lot."

In the future, he will collect more and more books. Although his memory will continue to improve, there are too many things he needs to learn now. No matter how good his memory is, it will take time to read each book, so books will definitely be more and more. Many, this time saves worry.

Returning to the deck happily, Ethan saw Arthur standing above the **** and looking around, occasionally staring at something in a daze—this thing may be a calm sea, maybe a blue sky, or maybe It is a fish that suddenly jumped out of the sea.

In the end, Arthur's gaze stayed on the boat at his feet, and asked Ethan, who was standing on the deck, "Is it difficult to make such a boat?"

"Um..."

Ethan didn't know how to answer this question. He really didn't know anything about shipbuilding, and he didn't know what the shipbuilding craftsmanship of this world was like. He could only answer with some impressions in his mind.

"I'm not quite sure, but according to the productivity of your world, it would be troublesome to make by ordinary people without using magical abilities... and not only cause trouble, the wood used for shipbuilding is not so easy to find."

The blessing of reading many novels in my last life, there are really some materials about the manufacture of sailboats.

Like this kind of sailboat, the wood used has strict requirements on wood. Even if a suitable wood is found, it will take a long time to process it before it can be used as a raw material for the ship.

Among them, the keel, which is the most important backbone of the ship, has higher requirements for materials!

Arthur nodded, and then continued to ask.

"Such a boat...isn't it the best boat?"

Originally, he thought that this ship was already very good. It was able to fly steadily on the sea with another ship full of cargo. If his kingdom had such a ship, it would be invincible at sea. exist.

But he soon remembered. Ethan himself said that he had just ventured in this ocean for a short time, and this ship was snatched from another group of robbers—just a few stronger than ordinary people. robber.

Thinking about it this way, maybe this boat can only be regarded as ordinary in this world, right? Otherwise, why would a few robbers keep this ship in such a world without the suppression of the law of power? So it can only prove that, although such a ship is good, it is not top-notch in this world.

Ethan also has this kind of guess, and he can definitely have a better ship—otherwise how to cross the sea of ​​storm? With this small Caravel sailing ship? That is dying.

It's just that he still doesn't know what a better ship in this ocean is, so he can only tell Arthur about ships in other worlds.

Steam engines, internal combustion engines and even nuclear power, Ethan talked to Arthur in general, and young Arthur heard about so many magical warships, and suddenly understood why Merlin had to travel with Ethan.

"Sure enough, traveling with you can really gain a lot of knowledge."

Only the first day, Arthur felt that his trip was worthwhile.

In the next few days, Ethan's schedule has been adjusted to some extent. In addition to the original training plan, there is also an additional exercise with Arthur.

Higher-level cultivation of one's own spiritual power, as well as the mastery of space-time energy...The former is still scheduled to be carried out before going to bed, while the latter is exhausted because the space-time energy stored in the pointer has been exhausted, and can only wait for the next time the space-time energy is collected get on.

Ethan and Arthur lived very monotonously and regularly in the following days. Until this day, after getting closer to the State Island, Ethan was preparing to introduce Arthur to the central city of the calm sea. Suddenly, the two people noticed that a large ship appeared on the sea horizon in the distance.

Two people have seen the ship clearly through the binoculars: a ship that is at least twice the size of Ethan's Caravel.

But these are not the main points. The main point is that they seem to have no good intentions. After spotting Ethan and others, they immediately adjusted their direction and rushed over. At the same time, something like the muzzle of a cannon emerged from the front of the ship.
