v3 Chapter 4: Brent's Expedition

"You can count me."

Just as Ethan expressed his intention to join, another person in the room stood up. Compared to the previous one, this man looks very inconspicuous. You can't find him in the crowd.

His height is also very ordinary, the height is about the same as Ethan, this person is not surprising in any way, but he received Brent's invitation and stood here, it proved that he is a good man. Adventurer. So Ethan would not underestimate him, and even looked at him out of curiosity for a while, wanting to see if there is anything special about this adventurer.

After the other party noticed Ethan's gaze, he did not feel dissatisfied, but returned a friendly smile before continuing to talk to Brent.

"I also want to go back and arrange the crew, I don't know how many people will stay."

The so-called arrangement of crew members is to screen out members who are unwilling to undertake this adventure, and then issue a severance fee.

In fact, the captain of the adventure team has high enough prestige, most of the time the captain alone can decide the next adventure plan.

It’s just that when encountering such a clear risk that there is a huge position, some of the more'good-hearted' captains will greet their subordinates in advance to explain the risks, and then let the crew choose whether to continue to follow the captain or directly Leave.

Choosing to leave is equivalent to withdrawing from this group. Considering that the adventure team in this world will settle the harvest on the spot every time it comes back, the captain’s decision to send out the severance fee is entirely based on the captain’s personal thoughts, and is not an inherent rule.

It seems that these two will deliberately arrange it. Obviously, they belong to the kind of captain who is more kind-hearted and opponents are good.

"If you are too embarrassed, you don't actually have to agree."

"I just think that these things do require some people to do. If it is really a huge trouble, if it turns out to be even more trouble, it will not be a good thing for all the adventurers in this sea."

The ordinary-looking middle-aged captain finally gave his own advice.

"It's best to report to the guild. If we can't handle this issue, the guild should take it seriously and come forward to recruit powerful adventurers to solve this problem."

"Thank you very much for your reminder, Captain Bruno." In fact, Bruno thought that Brent should have reported it, but Brent did not deliberately show the appearance of ‘I’ve considered this kind of thing a long time ago’.

Bruno and Bruno nodded their heads, and finally said goodbye to Ethan and left here.

The remaining few people also made decisions one after another, they finally did not agree to join Brent's temporary expedition team, and they did have various difficulties.

For example, one of the ships was severely damaged in the last adventure, and it has been completely scrapped after reluctantly driving back. Now he has lost his fortune and exchanged for a new good ship, but there is still a long time to get the ship, Brent Of course it is impossible to waste such a long time waiting for his new ship to be launched.

Brent also expressed his understanding of this. This is indeed an irresistible factor, and the other party does not want to help.

There is also a heavy loss of manpower recently. The newly recruited crew made him afraid to carry out such a dangerous operation, and carrying a group of unfamiliar hands to do this kind of thing would have many more variables.

Not only the captain himself, Brent dared not let him go, so he could only wish each other goodbye.

One after another, everyone was gone, and in the end only Ethan was left. He chatted a few words with Brent to learn more about what Brent knew.

"The ocean currents and waves in that area have become much more dangerous, and they are almost the same as those in the latter part of the sea. At that time, my ship had been sailing for a period of time and the damage was more serious. In this environment, I did not dare to go too deep. I was able to observe it on the periphery for a while.

"Anything to find?"

"There may be an island."

"may?"

This possible word is not very good. Is it an island that Brent can’t judge?

"Because the area is so large, when I observe from a distance, I even suspect that I have seen endless land."

Such an answer surprised Ethan. He could think that he had seen the island of the ‘Mainland’ from a distance. How big would it be? Anyway, it will definitely be much larger than the central island, such an island suddenly appeared on the route...

"Is the whole route blocked?"

"I'm not sure, but I want to try to get around, but in the end I didn't succeed."

"Unsuccessful? Was it attacked?"

"No, it's just that the condition of the ship was not very good at that time." Brent shook his head, carefully recalling the details: "Plus, the conditions in Shanghai have become so bad that I can only return."

After asking some more questions, Ethan also said goodbye to Brent.

He already knew that Brent would stay for a long time. In addition to meeting with the captain who responded to his call, he also had to give these people time to consider and prepare.

There are many people like Ethan who have just returned to the island. Their ships need to be maintained, materials need to be replenished, and even new crews need to be recruited. It is impossible to sail again without sufficient preparation time.

Walking out of the apartment rented by Brent, Ethan looked at the street specially. The scattered adventurers had been gone before. He was the last captain to come out, and only Serena was waiting for him.

"Where is Logan?"

"Because you never came out, he took Laura back first."

Ethan looked up at the sky. At this time, the entire sky turned into a pale yellow, and it was not long before it went dark.

"Let's go back."

Serena didn't ask what was going on. She was enjoying her new life now and didn't care what she was going to do next.

"Have you eaten?"

"Drank the kind of artificial blood you configured in the morning."

It could be seen that Serena didn't like that thing, even when she raised it, she frowned. If she didn't need to rely on this kind of food to sustain her life, she might not even want to see it.

"I said that I will find a way to make your physique no longer resist ordinary food, so I will endure it. I will try to solve this problem during this time.

Serena didn't expect that what Ethan said before was not casually said, and she actually wanted to do so. But she is not sure if this kind of thing can be done?

"What can be done is not difficult."

As if feeling what Serena was thinking, Ethan barely slapped his chest to emphasize his words.

"Thank you."

The two did not continue any topics, and walked back to their residence quietly.

The residence rented by Ethan is not too big, but each room has a complete variety of facilities, in addition to a separate yard, which is enough for their team.

Ethan, who had not eaten dinner, bought something to fill his stomach on the road, and then went back to his room.

What he has to do, of course, is to put a pool of warm water, and then put a drop of strengthening potion, soak it in it overnight.

While Ethan was making preparations, someone knocked on his door.

"Logan?"

All the people living in this building are their own people, and those who come to find themselves are only those on their own boat. Logan's appearance is not surprising, because Logan is here to help him guard the door.

"Already prepared?"

After Diana left, Logan took the initiative to take on the responsibility of guarding the door for safety reasons, and he is currently the only suitable person on the ship.

Laura is still a child; Loki is the object of defense; Serena will not say whether she has just arrived on the ship and whether she can be entrusted with the important task. This kind of gatekeeping job is not suitable for her.

Because once Loki wants to be against Ethan, Serena can't stop him - Logan can't stop him, but he can delay Loki's actions with his immortality and buy time for Ethan.

"I know you will be here soon."

Logan nodded, then took a chair and placed it at the intersection of the bathroom door and the room door. He could sit here and look at both directions at the same time.

It's okay to stay at the bathroom door, but he has no interest in Ethan's body, let alone the whole tour. As for Ethan, what will happen?

After so many consecutive days of strengthening, the possibility of the situation has dropped to a very low level, so he is mainly guarding the main entrance here.

"Do you mind if I smoke a cigar?"

"You can do whatever you want."

Actually Ethan didn't mind. Logan had already taken the cigar out, and then leaned back on a chair with his feet on a cabinet next to him, fully demonstrating his height advantage.

Logan's behavior seems to have not taken Ethan's safety to heart at all. If he changes his casual attitude to someone who doesn't understand, he will definitely be dissatisfied with this guy.

But Ethan knew that if something really happened, Logan would be much more trustworthy than those who seem to be dedicated bodyguardsDon’t say anything, he is immortal, of course he can wave freely, know every time Being severely injured or even dying, Logan suffered a lot, except for the last breath that he didn't swallow, he really experienced the pain of dying.

Although Ethan has not experienced that kind of feeling, it is impossible for any normal person to enjoy that feeling. Logan's mentality is normal, so he certainly doesn't like experiencing death again and again.

"I only have one request."

Just as Ethan was about to lie down in the pool, Logan's voice came from outside.

"what?"

"When you come out, you must first get dressed."

"..." Ethan lay silently in the pool, and before submerging his head in the water, he gave Logan a very affirmative reply: "Please rest assured, I don't have the habit of showing my body to people everywhere."

Especially when the other party is still a man.
