Chapter 18 Discovering the Island
Back, familiar ships, familiar sea levels, and familiar sunshine.
After only one month of stay, Ethan almost forgot what it feels like to be covered by the warm sunshine.
"Although I gained a lot, I have made a few good friends... but I really don't want to go to that cold and dark world anymore."
Of course, if Ethan is so powerful that he will be able to go back and help these people who have helped him.
"Maybe, their world should be saved from the gap between heaven and hell."
After living for a month, some knowledge has been popularized by Akara and Zul.
Strictly speaking, there are three spaces in the dark world, the hell where the demon lives and the heaven where the gods live, and the human world sandwiched between heaven and hell, which is where he goes.
The Rasma religion realized early on that the most important thing in this world is the balance between heaven and hell. The power of any side will destroy all human beings. This is also the core doctrine of the Rasma religion. It can be said that the existence of the Rasma religion is to maintain the world and the existence of human beings.
"What a miserable world."
It was not until this time that Ethan understood why the demons could not be killed completely - because the heroes did not dare to completely eliminate the demons, because when the angels had an absolute advantage, humans would completely become slaves of the gods, and the ending would not be better than being ruled by the demons.
The paradise and hell in that world are essentially countries dominated by two high-end creatures. Human beings just happen to live in a neutral zone between the two countries, so naturally they have become the targets of the two races. Human beings rely on the checks and balances between the two races to survive under the attack of two high-end creatures.
"Oh~"
Thinking of Isandra and Zul who were about to embark on a journey to deal with Diaporo, he told him directly that the final outcome of these two people would not be very good. Just like the heroes in the 1st generation of the Dark, it is difficult to have a good ending.
I looked at the wrist guards on my wrist, the rings on my fingers, the light armor on my body, the long swords, the iron sticks... Almost all the equipment was taken from the Dark World.
"The favor is not bad."
He made a secret decision in his heart, and Ethan calmed down and began to sort out the gains of this time.
Several books include basic magic pharmacy, basic knowledge of magic arrays, introduction to basic elemental magic, and a basic swordsmanship practice note.
Several equipments are equipped, including wrist guards, rings, light armor, iron sticks and long swords, all of which are magical equipment and have various effects.
Not counting the knowledge that still takes a certain amount of time to digest, he can easily beat himself a month ago by relying on the advantages of equipment.
"And I have accumulated a lot of melee knowledge and combat experience this month."
It was not until this time that he had escaped from the identity of an ordinary fisherman's son and became a reliable adventurer.
“Sadly, no space equipment was found.”
Looking at the piles of big and small bags, Ethan had a headache while tidying up.
He didn't know what kind of world he would go to in the future, but if he continued to collect various information like this, he would have the possibility of filling the space on the boat at that time. Not to mention looking for various resources on the island, even food and water would have no place to store it.
"Everything else is easy to say, mainly because paper books take up too much space... and in this world full of oceans, it is very troublesome to maintain paper books."
Humid air filled with salt will cause great harm to paper books. If you cannot take it out frequently, it will soon become moldy and damaged.
"I don't know what kind of means do this world use to preserve information..."
Suddenly I remembered the magic stone used by the clerk to fill out his information when applying for the membership application. Ethan looked down at the hand strap covered under the wrist guard. He remembered that there was his own information in this thing, and the Adventurers Guild also had the means to read it. Isn’t this what he wanted?
"The clerk used to write on paper first and then stored it in the magic stone, which means that this thing can directly read information from the paper."
I secretly regret why I didn't remember this before. I could use the extra resources to ask for a similar tool to the other party to store these books and materials.
"Now there is no extra resources in your hands. If you want to get similar items, you have to look for the Floating Island."
Ethan has always been very interested in the magical island of this world. He really wanted to meet a peaceful sea where there was nothing, but suddenly it floated onto an island, and then in just a few days, it turned from a bare reef or coral island to an island with abundant resources. What a magical scene.
“It must be spectacular.”
Before I went to the dark world, the island pointer locked an island. The only uncertain thing is that I have been in the dark world for thirty days. How long has this world been? Is that island still there?
After looking at the pointer, he still pointed firmly in one direction. Although he didn't know if it was the previous one, it proved that there was an island nearby that could be locked by the pointer.
"According to Uncle Wood's previous words, the time when the island exists is not fixed, but vibrations will occur frequently before sinking and disappearing. The shorter the vibration interval, the closer the sinking time is."
This was all told to him before, and later he asked the guild staff in the guild and learned more specific information.
After floating on the island, various lives began to be born at an astonishing speed. The fastest three days and the slowest ones are not accurate. Perhaps in the second before sinking, new lives will be born on the island.
These lives are mainly plants, and there are relatively few animals - if there are animals on the island, it is proved that the island will exist for at least one year.
According to the guild's records, the floating islands where animals have not yet been counted from their appearance and have sunk in less than a year.
"I can still imagine how this animal came out of thin air..."
Ethan couldn't even understand it even after thinking about it. He felt that many of the rules of this world were beyond his imagination.
Sitting on the bow of the Goddess of Dawn, Ethan was splashed on his face by the waves splitting the bow, and while thinking about it, he recovered the mental power he had just consumed.
Back at the sea of peace, he began his daily fixed practice again, but compared to the boring practice of spiritual power and watermaking before, he now has a few more homework.
He has gained a lot of experience in close combat, but his foundation is too weak and his practice time is too short, so he has no qualifications to be proud and complacent.
At the same time, I also began to practice the basic swordsmanship given to me by Kasha - all of them are basic movements, and the note was written in detail with various precautions, almost all the mistakes and questions that may arise from novices.
Practice is boring. Fortunately, Ethan couldn't do anything on this small boat, and he was the only one. He couldn't find someone to chat with. The only thing he could do every day was practice practice and practice.
Perhaps his mental power was so fast before, which was also related to this environment - except for practicing hard and studying, he could not find anything else to pass the time.
Until now, he can only use practice to fill his own "schedule".
The boring and regular days seem to be very slow, although he can feel his strength improvement every day, which makes him not resistant to this kind of exercise and even enjoys it. But occasionally, Ethan hopes for some changes, even if the gusts of wind make the waves bigger, it will cause some minor trouble for his sailing.
"Sure enough, so many people in the previous life were just idle!"
Just as he was muttering, a small black dot seemed to appear on the sea at the far end. Ethan stared at it for a long time. After confirming that it was not his sight, he immediately picked up the telescope and wanted to see more clearly.
"It's an island!"
Ethan stood at the bow and watched for more than ten minutes, afraid that he would have had an idle hallucination. He did not put down his telescope until he was sure it was a real island.
After comparing the direction pointed by the pointer, it was indeed the island that appeared in front. The voyage for more than ten consecutive days seemed to have come to an end, and Ethan seemed very happy.
“As long as it is no longer the same sea water is something to be happy about!”
Having an island also means food. Ethan brought a lot of food on his way out this time and also added some food in the dark world. Sometimes he could rely on fishing or even fishing nets to replenish some seafood. However, the continuous sailing still consumed most of the inventory. If he could not find the island, he had to consider adjusting the direction and finding the next time and space energy point.
"If that clerk didn't lie to me, then I have a high probability of finding the magic stone and should be able to exchange for what I want."
It is not a high-quality magic stone. As long as it is of average quality, it can be exchanged for enough food and water. Ethan can appropriately reduce the amount of these materials and exchange for an item that can be used to record materials.
As I thought about it, the appearance of the island gradually became clear. It was a formed island with lush vegetation on it. Standing on the boat, I saw a green look. Because my vision was blocked by lush plants, I was not sure if there were any animals on the island.
Ethan controlled the ship's speed and adjusted the direction slightly, so that his ship no longer rushed straight towards the island, but could just move a little bit and then sail around the island. This also facilitated him to observe the waters near the island and find a stopping place suitable for anchorage.
Almost without much effort, Ethan found a good place.
It was a small natural port with not very wide entrance and several reefs stood up, but the widest place just allowed Ethan's ship to enter. The water depth in the cove was appropriate and the water surface was gentle. It could be clearly seen through the clear water surface that there were no reefs below were covered with fine sand. Even if the tide was stranded, it would not cause damage to the ship.
"What a good place!"
