Chapter 185 Intimidation
Even on the next morning, Ethan didn't think about which set of holy clothes would suit Diana. It seemed that they had all been made, and then it was the best choice to wear whichever suit he wanted.
Standing in front of the steering wheel, Ethan stretched his waist, did some simple movements to move his body, breathed the air with the smell of sea water, and watched 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 life force on this island is running out, and it has even affected the existence of this island. If there is nothing wrong with Ethan's feeling, In the next few days, this island will sink to the bottom of the sea at a speed that is countless times faster than ordinary floating and sinking islands.
This is the last time this island stays in this world, but it means nothing to Ethan. He won't feel anything because of this situation. This island is just an embellishment in his journey, even if he contributes A lot of life energy to myself.
Turning on the console, Ethan raised the anchor, raised the sail, and the Dawn Goddess gradually moved forward. Ethan controlled the ship to slowly leave the island, adjusted the direction after pulling away from the coast, and sailed towards the vast sea go.
Standing here, he can see that the Eternal is also sailing away from the island. Seeing that their course does not look like they are going to return to the central island, it is estimated that they will continue to sail on the sea for a while.
"Maybe it's because there's nothing to gain on this island."
Obviously, the spring of life that Ethan gave to Cleo could not be taken out casually. I am afraid that only Cleo and a small number of managers and cronies could benefit. Well, for most of the crew, they didn't get anything out of this voyage at all, and it's not surprising to find a new island.
It looks like it's heading in the same direction as the Dawn, but Ethan doesn't mind even if they go together. Under the premise of the first cooperation, it is completely possible to continue the cooperation.
At this time, Logan also came out of the cabin, and complained to Ethan while moving his neck: "I'm still wondering why it suddenly became so swaying? I thought it was because the wind and waves became bigger, but it turned out to be out to sea. ."
Because Ethan's Dawn Goddess does not need so many sailors, the interior space is very wide, and everyone's room position is very good. Logan can know that it has sailed just through the window. He will just come out. Want to see if there is anything I need help with.
"It doesn't make sense to stay there anyway, so I just left."
After making a turn on the deck, Logan also stood beside the steering wheel. Standing here, he could see the Eternal not far behind, maintaining the same speed as the Goddess of Dawn, and sailing in the same direction.
"They've also set sail." As for the people on the Eternal, Logan only had a good impression of Cleo, but that was all, and he wouldn't 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 go to eat, it doesn't matter." It is even possible to let the boat go straight ahead and do its own thing.
Ethan used to do this often, but no matter what he did, he would stay on the deck honestly, to ensure that he had a good enough view, so that he would not be able to detect any unexpected situation in time.
"It's really swaying when sailing, and it's not as comfortable as when moored next to an island."
When berthing next to the island, the boat will also have ups and downs, but the magnitude is not large, and it will even feel comfortable. But it will not feel comfortable when sailing in the sea. Especially when eating, it's just a test of people's reflex nerves. If you don't pay attention, the plate will slide to the ground.
Let's not talk about the plate first, the food that fell on the ground is basically inedible. At the beginning, Logan scolded the mother more than once, but recently he got used to it a little bit.
"Anyway, let's have breakfast first."
Diana, who had never appeared, also walked out of the cabin, holding food and juice in her hands. The food reserves on the Dawn Goddess were very sufficient, and they did not need to deliberately control the consumption of food, and sometimes even more Eat it to avoid mold and spoilage of food that has been stored for too long.
In the sea, the storage of both food and clean water is a headache. The food storage in the age of sailing on the earth is simply unsightly, and many modern people can not accept the situation.
Ethan was glad more than once that this world was not purely a world of the age of sailing, and there were still magic stones and magic stone equipment.
Laura, who was at the age of lethargy, also ran out, and all the living people on the Dawn Goddess gathered on the poop, enjoying a hearty breakfast while blowing the sea breeze, and discussing messy things at the same time.
There is no set topic for what they talk about.
A moment ago, Diana and Ethan were still chatting about this world full of oceans, which seemed very interesting. The next moment their topic shifted to whether they should go online and grab some fresh seafood for dinner? Then the topic jumped to where we should go next. Do you have any plans?
"Towards the middle of the route."
Leaving aside other questions, where to sail and what plans are there, Ethan decided to move on first. He wanted to see for himself what was going on in the middle of the flight?
Although he has decided to build the new ship into an advanced steel warship, the specific situation still needs to be seen. After all, the climate and sea conditions in this world are more complicated and strange. Who knows if there is any special situation for me Don't know at all?
"The Eternal seems to have changed course."
While chatting, they were also constantly looking at the surrounding situation. At first, the Eternal and the Goddess of Dawn were moving in the same direction one after the other.
After sailing for a long time, the Eternal seems to have made some adjustments to the course, and also accelerated the speed. Now it is located on the side of the Goddess of Dawn. According to the respective headings of the two ships, the distance between them will gradually become farther and farther. 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 sail together if they have a choice. After all, everyone wants to monopolize the discovered islands, even if there are so many supplies on the islands that a ship can't fit them at all.
"A ship appeared ahead, sailing head-on with us."
While talking, Diana found a ship in front of her. According to this direction, it should have come from the middle of the route.
According to Ethan's own estimation, he should now be located in the middle area at the front end of the route. The ship either came back from the area near the middle section, or came back from a farther place.
Either way, it proves that the other party is a very powerful adventurer, and now he may be in a state of returning with a full load, and it should have nothing to do with himself and others.
"The color of the boat on the other side is a little different."
Hearing Diana's words, Ethan picked up the binoculars, and as the distance between the two sides gradually narrowed, he finally saw the situation of the ship clearly.
"The hull has metal skin for added defense and stability, and although currently powered by sails, propulsion is likely installed."
What is worth Ethan's attention is that the other party opened the gun door and showed the dark muzzle, which is not a good signal.
Although the two sides are sailing against each other, the sea is so wide that as long as it is not intentional, it is difficult to collide directly. As long as the course is adjusted slightly, the two ships can miss a long distance without any intersection.
"Perhaps it was deliberately intimidating and wanted us to take the initiative to avoid it?"
This may indeed exist. After all, adventurers have various personalities, and in this world without laws and regulations, they often rely on 'fists' to speak. There will always be people who feel that their fists can do whatever they want. Frightening people is but a diversion on a boring voyage.
"Adjust the direction and take a look."
Of course, Ethan is not afraid of things. He will choose to take the initiative to avoid it because he wants to judge whether the other party is simply frightening them, or does he have other ideas?
If it is pure intimidation, then when he actively adjusts the direction and chooses to avoid, the other party will not do anything. At most, the muzzle is lit up to show off his might, and then he swaggers away.
If there is any other intention...
"It seems that the other party doesn't want to let us go."
It didn't take long for Ethan to adjust the course, and the opposite side also adjusted the course. It's just that this adjustment is obviously aimed at the Goddess of Dawn. The situation is now obvious, and the ship on the opposite side is eyeing them.
Although it is not enough for the other party to scare them once, there is a possibility that they want to scare Ethan and the others a little more. But even if this is the case, it is impossible for Ethan to dodge twice in a row.
"The troublemaker is here. This situation looks like a naval battle."
Ethan was holding the steering wheel with his left hand and the console with his right hand. The three-dimensional image of the Dawn Goddess had already appeared on the console. With Ethan's mental control, the weapon status and ammunition reserves of the Dawn Goddess were displayed.
For Ethan and the others, long-range artillery combat is not the best choice. With the situation of several people on this ship, close combat is the real killer. In addition, both Ethan and Diana have the ability to fly. ability, distance will not be a problem at all.
However, Ethan didn't intend to directly zoom in on the opponent. He wanted to see the combat power of the opposing ship, so as to judge the general level of the battleships in this ocean, especially the firepower.
Ethan didn't rule out the idea of wanting to fight a naval battle and have an addictive experience in his heart. It's just that he is ready to release the magic shield at any time, because whether he wants to have fun or observe the firepower of the other party, he doesn't want to give the other party a chance to hurt himself.
