Chapter 230 Brent's Expedition

"You can count me in."

Just as Ethan said he wanted to join, another person in the room stood up. Compared to the previous one, this man looks very inconspicuous, and you can't find his appearance in the crowd.

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

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

"I also have to go back and arrange the crew under my command. 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 or the like.

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

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

Those who choose to leave are equivalent to quitting the group. Considering that every time the adventure team in this world returns, they will settle the harvest on the spot, so the captain's decision to issue a severance fee is entirely out of the captain's personal thoughts, not an inherent rule.

It seems that these two will deliberately arrange something, obviously they belong to the kind of captain who is kind-hearted and has a good opponent.

"If it's too embarrassing, you don't need to agree."

"I just think that these things do need some people to do. If it is really a huge trouble, if it turns into a bigger trouble if you sit by and ignore it, it will not be a good thing for all adventurers in this sea area."

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 problem, the guild should pay attention to it 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 that "I have considered this kind of thing for a long time".

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

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

It seems that one of the ships was severely damaged in the last adventure, and it was completely scrapped after reluctantly driving back. Now he has gone bankrupt and replaced it with a new good ship, but it is still a long time before getting the ship, Brent Of course it's impossible to waste so long waiting for his new boat to go into the water.

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

What's more, there has been a heavy loss of manpower recently. The newly recruited crew made him dare not carry out such a dangerous operation. To do this kind of thing with a group of unfamiliar men will have many variables.

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

One by one, everyone disappeared, and in the end, only Ethan was left. He chatted with Brent a few more times and learned 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 boat had been sailing for a period of time, and the damage was relatively serious. In this environment, I did not dare to go too deep. I was able to observe from the periphery for a while.”

"Have you found anything?"

"There may be an island."

"possible?"

This possible word is not very good, is it an island that Brent can't judge?

"Because the area is so large, when I observed it from a distance, I even suspected that I saw endless land."

Such an answer surprised Ethan, how big is the island that can think that he has seen the 'mainland' from a distance? Anyway, it will definitely be much larger than the central island, such an island suddenly appeared on the route...

"Is the entire route blocked?"

"I'm not sure, but I tried to get around it, but it didn't work out."

"It didn't work? Was it attacked?"

"No, it's just that the condition of the ship was not very good at the time." Brent shook his head and carefully recalled the details: "In addition, the sea conditions became particularly bad, so I had to go back."

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

He already knew that Brent would stay for a long time, and in addition to meeting the captain who responded to his call, he also wanted 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 maintenance, supplies need to be replenished, and even new crew members need to be recruited. Without enough preparation time, it is impossible to sail again.

After walking out of Brent's rented residence, Ethan deliberately looked at the street again. The scattered adventurers had all gone, and he was the last captain to come out, and only Serena was waiting for him.

"What about Logan?"

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

Ethan looked up at the sky. At this time, the whole sky turned yellow, and it was not long before it was dark.

"Let's go back."

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

"Have you eaten?"

"I drank the artificial blood you configured in the morning."

It can be seen that Serena doesn't like that thing, and she frowned even when she mentioned it. If she didn't need to rely on this kind of food to maintain 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 bear with it first, I will try to solve this problem during this time."

Serena didn't expect that what Ethan said before was not casual, but she really wanted to do it. But she doesn't know if this kind of thing can be done?

"It's not that hard to do."

As if feeling what Serena was thinking, Ethan almost patted his chest to emphasize his words.

"thanks."

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

The residence Ethan rented was not large, but each room had complete facilities and a separate yard, which was enough for their team.

Ethan, who had not eaten dinner, bought some random things to fill his stomach on the way, and then went back to his room.

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

While Ethan was getting ready, someone knocked on his door.

"Logan?"

The people who live in this building are all his own people, and the only people who come to him are the people on his 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 the janitor for the sake of safety, and he was the only suitable person on board at present.

Laura was still a child; Loki was the one to be guarded against; this kind of gatekeeping was not suitable for her, even if Serena had just arrived on the ship and could be entrusted with the task.

Because once Loki wants to be detrimental to Ethan, Serena can't stop him at all - neither can Logan, but he can delay Loki's actions by virtue of his immortality and buy Ethan time.

"I know you'll be here soon."

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

It's okay to stay at the bathroom door, but he has no interest in Ethan's body at all, and he is not interested in visiting the whole process. As for what will happen to Ethan?

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

"Do you mind if I smoke a cigar?"

"You can do whatever you want."

In fact, Ethan didn't mind, Logan had already taken out the cigar, and then sat on the chair with his feet on a cabinet next to him, fully showing his height advantage.

Logan's behavior seemed to have no regard for Ethan's safety at all. If he changed his casual attitude to someone he didn't understand, he would definitely be dissatisfied with this guy.

But Ethan knew that if something really happened, Logan would be more trustworthy than those dedicated bodyguards. Don't say that he is immortal, of course, he can be casual, knowing that every time he is seriously injured or even on the verge of being beaten. In the same state of death, Logan suffered a lot, except for the last breath he didn't swallow, he really experienced the pain of dying.

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

"I only have one request."

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

"what?"

"When you come out, be sure to get dressed first."

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

Especially when the other party is a man.
