Even in the morning of the next day, Ethan didn't think about which set of holy clothes Diana was suitable for. It seemed that they were all made and then the best choice was to wear which set he wanted to wear.
Standing in front of the steering wheel, Ethan stretched his waist while doing some simple movements to move his body, breathing in the sea-scented air, watching the sun slowly leave the sea level and rise towards a higher place.
The island next to it looks no different from yesterday, but Ethan can feel that the remaining vitality on this island is already running low, and it has even affected the existence of this island. If Ethan’s feeling is not wrong, In the next few days, this island will sink to the bottom of the sea at a speed countless times faster than an ordinary floating island.
This is the last time this island stays in this world, but it is totally meaningless to Ethan. He will not sigh with emotion because of this situation. This island is just an embellishment in his journey, even if it contributes. A lot of life energy for yourself.
Turning on the console, Ethan raised the anchor, raised the sails, and the Aurora gradually moved forward. Ethan controlled the ship to leave the island slowly, adjusted its direction after moving away from the coast, and sailed towards the vast sea. go with.
Standing here, he could see the Eternity also set sail and leave the island, and seeing that their course did not look like they were preparing to return to the central island, it was estimated that they would continue to sail at sea for a period of time.
"Perhaps because there is nothing to gain on this island."
The life spring that Ethan gave to Cleo obviously cannot be taken out casually. I am afraid that only Cleo and a small number of managers and cronies can benefit. So for most of the crew, they didn't gain anything from this voyage, and it is not surprising that they are looking for new islands.
looks like it is heading in the same direction as the Aurora, but Ethan doesn't mind even if they are traveling together. On the premise of the first cooperation, it is absolutely possible to continue the cooperation.
At this time, Logan also walked out of the cabin, moving his neck while complaining to Ethan: "I'm still wondering why it suddenly became so trembling? I thought it was because the wind and waves had become stronger. It turned out to be out to sea. ."
Because Ethan’s Aurora does not require so many sailors, the internal space is very wide. The existing rooms for everyone are very good. Logan can know that he has set sail only through the window, and he will come out. I want to see if I can help.
"It doesn't make sense to stay there anyway, so I just left."
Logan turned around on the deck and stood beside the steering wheel. Standing here, he could see the Eternity not far behind, maintaining the same speed as the Aurora, and sailing in the same direction.
"They are also sailing." For the people of Eternity, Logan only had a good impression of Cleo, but that was all, and he would not pay too much attention. "I thought you would leave after breakfast."
"This sea is so vast, even if I let the boat go forward and eat by myself, it doesn't matter." You can even let the boat go straight ahead and do your own thing.
Ethan used to do this often, but no matter what he did, he would stay on the deck honestly, ensuring that he had a good enough vision to avoid unexpected situations that he could not find in time.
"It's really shaking when sailing, it's not as comfortable as when mooring beside the island."
When mooring next to the island, the ship will also undulate, but the amplitude is not large, and it will even feel comfortable. But you won’t feel comfortable when sailing in the sea. Especially when eating, it is simply testing people's reflex nerves. If you don't pay attention, the plate will slip to the ground.
Let's not talk about the plate. The food that fell on the ground is basically uneatable. At the beginning, Logan scolded his mother more than once, and only recently got used to it a little.
"Anyway, let's have breakfast first."
Diana, who had never appeared, also walked out of the cabin. She had food and juice in her hands. The food reserves on the Aurora were very sufficient. They did not need to control food consumption specifically, and sometimes even more. Eat something to avoid moldy and spoilage when stored for too long.
On the sea, the storage of food or water is a headache. The storage of food in the age of sailing on the earth is simply impossible to look at directly, and there are often conditions that are unacceptable to many modern people.
Ethan not only once rejoiced that this world is not purely the world of the sailing age, there are also magic stones and magic stone equipment.
Laura, who was at the age of lethargy, also ran out. All the living people on the Aurora had gathered on the poop, enjoying a hearty breakfast while the sea breeze was blowing, while discussing messy things.
There is no fixed topic for what they talk about.
A moment ago, Diana was still chatting with Ethan about this world full of oceans. It seemed very interesting. The next moment their topic shifted to whether to grab some fresh seafood for dinner. Then the topic jumped to where to go next. Do you have any plans?
"Go toward the middle of the route."
Leave aside other questions, where to sail and what plans he has. Ethan decided to move on first. He wanted to see for himself what was going on in the middle of the route.
Although he has decided to build the new ship into an advanced steel battleship, the specific situation still needs to be looked at. After all, the climate and sea conditions in this world are more complicated and weird. Who knows if there is any special situation? Don't know at all?
"Eternal seems to have changed course."
While they were chatting about the sky, they also kept looking at the surrounding situation. The Eternity was moving in the same direction as the Dawning Goddess at first.
After sailing for a long time, Eternity seems to have made some fine adjustments to its course, and also accelerated its speed. It is now on the side of the Aurora, and the distance between the two ships will gradually increase according to the respective course of the two ships. Until you can't see each other.
"After all, the sea is so vast, there is no need to go in one direction."
Adventurers will not get together to sail when they have a choice. After all, everyone wants to monopolize the discovered island, even if there are so many materials on the island that one ship can’t fit it.
"A ship appeared ahead, sailing head-on with us."
While talking, Diana noticed that a ship appeared on the front. According to this direction, it should be coming from the middle of the route.
Ethan according to his own estimation, he should be in the middle area at the front end of the route. The ship came back from the area close to the middle section, or came back from a farther place.
Either way, it proved that the opponent is a very powerful adventurer, and it may be in a state of returning home with a full load. It should have nothing to do with himself and others.
"The color of the ship opposite is a bit different."
Hearing Diana's words, Ethan picked up the telescope, and as the distance between the two sides gradually narrowed, he finally got a clear view of the ship.
"There is a metal skin on the hull to enhance defense and stability. Although it is currently powered by sails, it is likely to be equipped with a propulsion device."
What is worthy of Ethan's concern is that the other party opened the gun and showed a black hole. This is not a good signal.
Although the two sides are sailing relative to each other, the sea is so wide that it is difficult to directly hit it unless it is intentional. As long as the course is adjusted slightly, the two ships can be missed at a long distance without any intersection.
"Maybe you are deliberately intimidating, want us to take the initiative to avoid?"
This may indeed exist. After all, adventurers have a variety of personalities, and in this world where there are no laws and regulations, many times they rely on'fists' to speak, and there will always be people who feel that they can do whatever they want with their fists. Frightening is just a pastime in a boring voyage.
"Adjust the direction and take a look."
Ethan is of course not a fearful character. He will choose to take the initiative to avoid it because he wants to judge whether the other party is simply frightening them. Do you have any other ideas?
If it is a simple scare, then when he actively adjusts the direction and chooses to avoid, the other party will not do anything. At most, the muzzle was lit up for a show, and then left swaggeringly.
If there is any other attempt...
"It seems that the other party does not want to let us go."
Not long after Ethan adjusted his course, the other side also adjusted his course. It's just that this adjustment is clearly aimed at the Aurora. Now the situation is obvious, and the ship on the opposite side is eyeing them.
Although it is not enough to scare the opponent once, I want to scare Ethan and the others more. But even if this is the case, Ethan is unlikely to evade twice in a row.
"The trouble is coming, this situation seems to be a naval battle."
Ethan is holding the steering wheel with his left hand, and holding the console with his right hand. A three-dimensional image of the Aurora has appeared on the console. With Ethan's mind control, it shows the weapon status and ammunition reserves of the Aurora.
For Ethan and the others, long-range artillery battle is not the best choice. With the few people on this ship, close combat is the real killer. In addition, both Ethan and Diana have flying. The ability and distance will not be a problem at all.
But Ethan didn't plan to directly zoom in on the opponent. He wanted to see the combat power of the opposing ship, in order to judge the general level of the warships on this ocean, especially the firepower intensity.
Ethan also does not rule out the idea of wanting to fight a naval battle and have an addiction in my heart. It's just that he is ready to release the magic shield at any time, because he doesn't want to give the opponent a chance to hurt himself, whether he wants to enjoy himself or to observe the opponent's firepower.
