Chapter 66： Weird island

"Are all women?"

Of course there are women in the calm sea, otherwise humans would have disappeared from this world a long time ago. It's just that under the general environment, there are not no women who become adventurers, but the number is not large. A few of them are working as chefs on larger ships or sewing and repairing laundry for crew members. On some ships, there are more traditional and ancient jobs, just to be able to survive.

Generally speaking, women in the sea of ​​peace do not live well. Most of them live by relying on men. Only a few women with strong personalities will persist in the identity of adventurers, unwilling to succumb to men and become vassals, and work hard. Struggling to survive in this world, this is the general situation of women in this world.

What Ethan encountered this time was different from most of the female adventurers. First of all, it was a powerful warship that surpassed that of the Flame Hand. It steadily defeated the Flame Sovereign in terms of displacement and firepower.

Secondly, all the sailors on the ship are women, and seeing them skillfully controlling various sails, adjusting gun positions, and organizing weapons, they do not look like female handymen responsible for cleaning and washing.

"Is there an all-female team in this place?"

Ethan shook his head. He did not pay much attention to the news in this regard, and he did not take the initiative to inquire about the stronger teams in the calm sea. His gaze extended to the other side of the storm sea, the forces in this sea area. He didn't bother to pay attention to the situation.

"After all, there are so many adventurers. It doesn't seem to be too strange that a team composed entirely of women appears."

After all, there will always be people who are unwilling to the status quo and want to make changes. Looking at the situation opposite, this one should be considered relatively successful.

"Are we going to show that there is no malice?"

The distance between the two ships is getting closer and closer. Ethan looked at the muzzle of the black hole, and if he didn't care, it was a fake. Although he has the protection of the book of inheritance, he doesn't worry about the other party's shelling at all, but he can't always stand here and stare at the other party?

"It's a pity that the defensive magic I studied for the bow image has not yet succeeded, otherwise I would have to keep it here personally."

From the time the ship's bow image was installed and went out to sea, Ethan was thinking about adding something special to it. After only a few months of research, only a vague concept was initially obtained. If you want to implement it, you will need to conduct many experiments before you can finally carry out a real transformation.

When he was on the Paradise Island, he had enough time to conduct this research, but at that time he concentrated on improving his mental power and time-space pointer and forgot about it.

It didn't take long to return to the calm sea. If it weren't for being pointed at by the gun, he didn't even think that the work hadn't been completed.

"Don't worry about that side for now, another one comes in the other direction."

Arthur nodded Ethan's shoulder and pointed in the other direction when he turned his head.

Ethan looked in the direction of Arthur, and another boat emerged from the sea.

This time it’s not a big ship. It looks about the size of Ethan’s ship. The layout of the brig spinnaker is obviously an adventurer who pursues speed. The ship is also similar to Ethan’s, closer to Caravelle. The appearance of a sailing boat.

Considering that the shipbuilding industry in the calm sea is monopolized by the shipyard on State Island, it is certain that after a certain type of ship with excellent performance is found, it will be finalized and manufactured and sold to customers with specific needs. The ship is still a sister ship.

The later ship was very fast, much faster than Ethan, who was controlling the speed, so the distance was rapidly getting closer. It didn't take long for the three ships to discover each other's existence.

The current situation is: the ship made up of women is at the far north, moving from northwest to southeast; in the center is Ethan’s Aurora, sailing from west to east; the last ship that appears is from west to east. Coming from the south, after adjusting the direction, it also drove towards the east.

As the distance drew in, the three ships gradually became parallel sailing, and Ethan, caught in between, looked back and forth on both sides. Similarly, the people on the other two ships are doing the same thing.

Ethan didn't do anything to cover up. Even if his appearance has receded a little bit of childishness, he still looks too young in this calm sea, and it really lacks deterrence.

His name has been passed on with the previous battle, but anyone who wants the entire calm sea to know it, and at the same time, he has to face him, and it takes longer to ferment.

So the ship that appeared later, obviously didn't take Ethan seriously, and continued sailing so swaggeringly since it appeared, making no secret that he and Ethan were heading to the same place.

However, the situation changed as the distance between several parties got closer. Ethan noticed that the later ship seemed to panic after spotting the northernmost ship, especially when the distance was closer. It was already visible. After getting to the general situation of the other party, the ship unexpectedly slowed down, and then after walking in a serpentine shape on the sea for a while, suddenly turned its head to the south and left the sea at full speed.

All this was seen by Ethan and Arthur.

Looking at the ship that was leaving quickly, it could be described as hurriedly fleeing, he suddenly had a bad feeling.

"I always feel that our adventure this time will still not go well."

"I also have this hunch."

can make an adventurer run away in such a panic, Ethan can be sure that those women are not easy to mess with. But this does not mean that he will make the same choice.

"Regardless of them, if they choose to do it, destroy them."

Although Arthur did not agree with Ethan's words, he did not object. If he had just arrived in this world, maybe he would propose to let him go appropriately. After all, it is not an easy task for a group of women to beg for food at sea in a group.

But now, he has gradually become accustomed to Ethan's style.

won't take the initiative to cause trouble, but it doesn't mean that all monsters can jump out and provoke, and then they can retreat completely. Since he dared to jump out, he must be prepared to be killed.

"What now?"

"Keep your distance and be on guard."

Ethan is not much better than that in sailing experience, but he has a lot of messy experience in his previous life, and he does not play naval battle games less. Some movies can also provide some theoretical knowledge, and he can always find a reference when dealing with it.

"The hit rate of the sea artillery battle is very touching. Even if the ballistic trajectory of the magic stone cannon is not as elusive as the smoothbore gun, the undulating waves will affect the hit rate. So as long as you stretch a certain distance, it is difficult to do it with just three cannons at once. Hit us."

Once the opponent fires a cannon, even if Ethan is resting, he will definitely be awakened. At that time, even if the opponent can hit their ship, they will be blocked by Ethan's open magic shield.

"So as long as we keep a proper distance, the other party can't directly attack us."

More importantly, the Aurora is a clipper known for its speed and sensitivity. The opponent's Galen-type sailboat may crush itself in all aspects in terms of stability, combat effectiveness and defense, but it does not have any advantage in speed. ——As long as the speed is not as fast as himself, Ethan can control the distance between the two sides calmly.

"What to do, don't pay attention to them."

continued sailing, the direction given by the island pointer did not change, and the two ships moved forward like two parallel lines. Not only did Ethan deliberately keep a distance, when it was necessary to make some roundabout maneuvers, the other side was also deliberately controlling the distance between the two sides, as if he did not want to contact Ethan.

After confirming this, Ethan judged that the opponent would not suddenly attack, and the following days became boring again.

Get up early to eat and exercise, and then study the transformation of the head of the ship, and at the same time take time to observe the big ship in the distance. The opponent did not put away the cannon, maintaining a certain degree of alertness.

"How do I feel that the other party is worried about us?"

After observing for a period of time, Ethan came to this conclusion inexplicably.

"We don't seem to be notorious people, right?"

"Should we also be a bit famous?"

The battle with Brent, although it hasn't been completely fermented, but is it possible that someone on this ship knows this information and happened to recognize Ethan?

"In this case, it seems that a lot of trouble can be avoided."

It is best if there is no conflict. Ethan’s goal is very clear, that is, wood and minerals, for which he can give up some basic food and water resources.

In the case of the other party owning a large ship, he should not be interested in wood, and at most add some reserves to prevent unexpected situations from being used to repair the ship. Once minerals are discovered, it is actually very difficult to remove them, and there is no need to cause conflicts.

Unless the islands found are not large and the resources are scarce, then conflicts may break out for the sake of not competing for much interest.

Soon, the target appeared on the sea level. Gradually, an extremely vast island appeared. Ethan estimated that it was many times larger than the island he had discovered before. Such a huge island could even be compared with State Island is on par.

"If an island of this size hadn't been sunk, I don't know how many people would settle down and develop it."

As the distance narrowed, Ethan used a telescope to observe the opposite island, but found that the island was bare and there were no plants at all. Not only that, the entire island also exudes weird fluctuations.

"It doesn't seem to be right."

Arthur noticed another thing at this time, and that was that the big sailboat that had been moving at a constant speed suddenly started to slow down. After reminding Ethan, Ethan also noticed this, and also noticed that the ship was adjusting its direction.

After lowering his head and pondering for a moment, Ethan made a decision before long: “Slow down, adjust the direction, and take a look around the island first.”

He can clearly perceive that this island is fundamentally different from the islands previously discovered.
