Chapter 68 Core Level Magic Stone
The boat was not very fast on the sea, and the ups and downs seriously affected the speed and direction of progress. Ethan waited on the boat for a long time before the boat rowed near the Goddess of Dawn.
Putting down the rope ladder, Ethan stood on the deck and waited for the 'messenger' to board the ship.
Before, when the distance was so close that I could see the situation between the two sides, the only woman standing on the boat raised her hands and signaled that she was not carrying a weapon, which was a demonstration of her sincerity.
In order to show sincerity, Ethan also took off the sword at his waist and handed it over to Arthur who was standing on the stern of the boat. He would not accompany Ethan and would continue to stay where he was staring at the other side's ship.
"Hello, welcome to the Goddess of Dawn."
There were only three people who came up, and two others remained on the boat below.
The leading woman is a tall and beautiful woman with beautiful brown hair, she should be over 1.7 meters tall, and wearing short-heeled leather boots, which is about the same height as Ethan. Perhaps because she has been wandering on the sea for many years, her skin is not fair. She is about twenty-four or five years old, and she is at her best time for a woman, but this age is still very young among adventurers.
The close-fitting clothes perfectly showed her figure. This woman was not the slender and thin type, but the type that could see her body was full of strength at a glance, but she was not as sharp as that kind of muscle monster, and still had soft lines. When she showed her sharp and sharp eyes from time to time, this woman was like a female beast, beautiful and full of danger.
Similarly, the woman opposite was also looking at Ethan. In the eyes of this woman, Ethan looked very ordinary, but no different from many young people. She had an ordinary appearance, an ordinary figure, and was slightly thin, and there was no special thing at all. It was really unimaginable that this was a strong man who could fight Brent head-on without losing his advantage.
"Hello, Ethan of Goddess of Dawn, I am Helena, the captain of the Queen of Revenge."
Ethan nodded. He did not shake hands or other actions. People living in this world all have great vigilance. Rare actions will cause unnecessary misunderstandings. Not carrying weapons when negotiating with strangers is enough to show kindness.
"So, Helena of the Queen of Revenge, what's wrong with you coming to my boat?"
Getting to the point directly, Helena, as the captain, will come to find herself in person, and there must be something important to talk about. The environment at this time is not suitable for the two of them to go around in circles and try again. We can negotiate as soon as possible to make the correct decision as soon as possible.
Perhaps it was Ethan's directness that Helena admired him very much. The woman showed some admiration and then made out her purpose.
"I want to work with you."
"cooperate?"
Ethan thought about the possible purpose of this woman, of course, including the temporary alliance. But in this case, will this woman board the island?
"You want to go to the island?"
This time Helena not only praised her. As soon as Ethan asked, her brow jumped, and then she felt that "it was indeed not that ordinary." Ethan had such a reaction, so she was worthy of her strong strength.
"Yes, I want to go to the island."
Ethan frowned: "How much do you know about this island?" He didn't believe that this woman had no knowledge of this island. If she really had no knowledge of it and wanted to go to the island, she would have rushed over with the ship before. She wouldn't have waited so long before she came to talk to him about cooperation.
"Not many, I only know that this island is dangerous, but it also has great benefits." Helena did not mean to hide and was very honest: "If it goes well, I will only take one thing, and everything left is yours."
The conditions offered by Helena are quite generous, but Ethan is not interested in it. He is not a fool. Compared to the huge benefits of all things except something, he cares more about what Helena would rather take huge risks and give up most of the items at the cost of exchange for what kind of thing?
"I think it's better to make everything clear. If the thing you want happens to be what we need, something unpleasant may happen."
Ethan's words made the two women behind Helena frown, as if they were unhappy with Ethan's words. Instead, Helena didn't care much.
"I'm not sure yet, I need to see it before I know if it is."
"So, what are you looking for?"
Helena pondered for a while, as if she was judging whether to say or not. Ethan was waiting quietly. He was not in a hurry at all. He was still evaluating the risk of going to the island.
"I suspect that this island has core-level magic stones."
"Core level? Magic Stone?"
Ethan was stunned. He never expected to get such an answer.
Of course he knows what magic stone is. He also knows that magic stone can be used as energy for items of varying degrees according to its quality.
For example, some low-quality magic stones can only be used as consuming energy for some daily necessities. They have a short service life and provide limited magic output. Once the output energy is increased, they will be completely damaged. This is also the easiest magic stone to find on the calm sea and the most common magic stone.
The better one is the medium-quality magic stones. This level of magic stones covers a wide range, and a little less can be used as energy for larger daily necessities. In Ethan's current Goddess of Dawn, several items use medium-quality magic stones as "batteries" to supply energy.
High-quality ones are relatively rare. This level of magic stone can already be used as equipment props, which can provide huge improvement in combat power. For example, the name of the Hand of Fire is derived from a glove inlaid with fire-attribute magic stones.
In addition, Ethan also learned from the database on Stat Island that the division of magic stones is not that simple. In fact, the so-called high, medium and low qualities refer to the magic stones on the calm sea. These magic stones are divided into low-level magic stones in the database of the guild.
"Core level? Are you sure?"
Helena shook her head: "I'm not sure, but the situation of this island...I think there is a greater possibility of core-level magic stones."
The core level is not a kind of magic stone grade division, it should be considered a function distinction. He had seen some equipment using core level magic stones as energy in the shipyard before, so he had a more intuitive understanding.
The so-called core level means that the magic storage and output have reached a certain level and can be used as a synonym for long-term use of major energy sources. The biggest feature is stability and difficulty in damage.
Since low-level magic stones are difficult to use as core-level magic stones, the core level of this sea area also represents a better-quality magic stone. In theory, it is difficult to find this level of magic stone on the calm sea. Even the magic stone used by the Hand of Fire cannot reach the core level, and can only barely get close to it.
It can be said that the core-level magic stone is what Ethan originally believed to be, and can be used as the fundamental energy body of Magic Stone Technology. The magic stones Ethan has been exposed to before are much worse.
The only exception is the white magic stone in Ethan's hand. He didn't know these information before, but later he came into contact with the guild's records and began to suspect that his body was most likely a core-level magic stone. Even if it was not, it should be a high-quality magic stone with relatively close quality.
Unfortunately, he could no longer judge. Merlin's magic attainments were too high, and the mystery in the Book of Heritage was far beyond Ethan's current level. He could not judge how much the magic stone played in it.
He felt that this magic stone might not be very likely to be at the core level, and even if he was lucky, he would not be so good. Unexpectedly, he really discovered the traces of the core magic stone so quickly.
"If the core-level magic stone is worth far more than other materials, I don't seem to have any benefits for this transaction?"
Ethan thought for a while and gave his own answer.
"If you agree to share the core magic stone, then there is a basis for cooperation... Of course, if such a magic stone really exists."
Helena frowned. Ethan's reaction was not like a young man at all. She even suspected that the young man in front of her was really only under twenty years old? Could it be that her face was tender and deliberately pretended to be young?
"How about it? How about it?"
Ethan was also a little moved. If Helena disagreed, he would go to the island alone to search. Even if the other party did not give up, he would have to compete together.
This situation is obviously not what Helena wants to see. The woman seems to be very afraid of Ethan and does not want a conflict to break out. So after she struggled for a while, she gave her final offer.
"If it is a core-level magic stone, I hope you can give it to me. I can use various additional materials to compensate for the gap. This is my last condition. If you don't agree, we will rely on our own abilities."
Ethan thought for a while and nodded in agreement. He did not have much desire for the so-called core-level magic stones, but instead had greater demands on materials. He needed to build a new ship that belonged to him. The current Goddess of Dawn is only suitable for the sea of calm. Not to mention the new sea area, this ship is completely seeking death to hit the Sea of Storm.
"So, what are you going to do next?"
"Just hit the island directly, we are the only ones who go here."
Ethan raised his eyebrows. This situation means that the island is either safe or very dangerous! Yu Guang glanced at the expressions of the two subordinates, and then contacted the situation he had observed before, which was obviously the latter.
"What a...unqualified captain..."
