Chapter 456: The Gradually Clear Front
He asked everything he could ask, and Ethan had a deeper understanding of the world.
Now it's Betty asking Ethan, she's curious about why Ethan hasn't become particularly violent, when she thinks that any intelligent life will become very violent when she hears that she is a puppet controlled by some higher life—and This is also introduced in the safety rules issued before the exam.
Although in the eyes of Betty and other citizens of the empire, the "natives" in this training ground are indeed some low-level life forms, but they are indeed intelligent life forms, and whether it is right or wrong to use intelligent life forms in this way has long existed among the people of the empire. Arguing, many people feel that this practice is very 'inhumane' and such things should be banned.
It’s just that the imperial military has always regarded this kind of civil society as air. The thousands of military training grounds created by the empire have countless low-level lives. Except for the fact that they were cultivated using technology at the beginning, many of the training grounds with relatively high numbers. They have reproduced themselves for several generations.
The interior of these training grounds is like a small civilized planet, but the level of civilization has been artificially lowered to a certain level in order to better serve the military.
In order to better control these 'indigenous peoples', the students are not allowed to reveal the 'truth' to these people under normal circumstances. It is rare for a cadet's native to end well - more commonly 'destroyed' by the military.
Betty was struggling with whether to tell these things, she was worried that if she said it, Ethan, who was originally calm, would get angry. Kindly helping can only get this kind of ending? No one can stand it!
If she doesn't say it... She feels that if she hides from the other party and eventually leads to Ethan's death, her conscience will not be able to bear it.
But if he said it, would Ethan blame himself when he was angry?
Betty's entanglement in her heart was fully expressed on her face. After all, she was just a student and didn't have much experience at all, and she didn't know how to hide her true thoughts.
Ethan has experienced many things in multiple worlds, and he can still see such an obvious situation.
"Is there any difficulty?"
"Um...nothing..."
Betty thought about it, but in the end she still didn't say it, but asked about the situation outside now.
Ethan glanced at Betty again, did not continue to ask, and told Betty what he knew.
Betty was a little surprised when she learned that many aboriginal adventurers had reached the outermost sea area.
Hearing that the adventurers were trapped in the outermost Sea of Miracles, and didn't know which direction the future would take, he was relieved, and felt that this was normal.
When Ethan mentioned the guild, Betty became more relaxed. She found that the outside situation had not changed much from what she knew, but the technology mastered by the aborigines had improved a little, allowing them to set foot on the outermost guild. on the sea.
Betty lowered her head and thought for a while, then asked Ethan if he wanted to storm the Sea of Storms and go to the Sea of Miracles?
"Because I was going to hit the stormy sea, I didn't use the pointer to find the island, so I found this place by accident."
Betty didn't understand Ethan's logic. Since he was going to hit the stormy sea, it's the right way to stay on the island and replenish some supplies before hitting the stormy sea, right?
Ethan what is this operation? Go straight to the stormy sea? She doubted now that the young captain would be able to help her out.
"My team is quite special, and there is no need for additional supplies."
Ethan simply explained without saying too much. He looked at Betty, who seemed to have no problem, and at the sunset that was about to sink below the sea level.
Turning on the portable lamp that had been placed in the shed a long time ago, Ethan pointed to the bed made of leaves next to him: "You can rest here, if you need anything, you can find me at the fire, I won't leave tonight Will rest, will always be there."
In the case of a stranger, or even a secret that this stranger is hiding, Ethan will not let her move freely and ignore it.
The huts that Logan and the others built were arranged in a fan shape, and the position of the fire was exactly where all the huts faced. As long as they kept watch over the hut, they could see the situation of all the huts clearly. If Betty wanted to come out to do something, there was no way to escape. Pass Ethan's line of sight.
"If there's anything I need, I'll find you over there."
Ethan nodded, and then walked out of the shed.
At this time, everyone gathered on the other side of the fire to deal with the prey they had caught before. When Ethan came back, he saw an animal that looked like a sheep and two animals that were close to pheasants.
There is no real chef on the Prinz Eugen. Basically, whoever is free will help with it. As for the cooking work, whoever has time is responsible. Most of the time, Serena, Ada, and Annette bit.
Logan helps out occasionally, but he doesn't volunteer to do it when someone else is in charge. O'Connor helps out sometimes, but he can't cook at all.
The rest of them can't be counted on. Currently, the most reliable cook on board is actually the very young Shirley--she was trained to help Annette cook, and she is obviously more talented than her mother! This is really a speechless fact.
Seeing Ethan coming, Serena handed Ethan a bowl of thick soup, which contained not only pieces of meat but also freshly picked wild vegetables.
Ethan, who took over, smelled the hot aroma, and sat down directly by the fire. Logan cut down some trees not far away. These logs were placed by the fire, which could be used as stools, so that everyone would not have to Sitting on the ground.
Living in this ocean for a period of time, everyone has become an expert in wild survival, not only knowing how to survive, but even learning how to make their lives more comfortable.
"What did you ask?"
While drinking the broth, Ethan shared the information he got to everyone. Everyone didn't show any violent reaction after hearing it, because no one was a native of this world except Ethan.
If you really want to feel uncomfortable, only Ethan has this qualification, but Ethan has a soul from another world, so he doesn't care much about such things.
What's more, he has already evolved himself into a demigod through his own efforts. In this case, he has a serious lack of real sense of the so-called 'low-level puppet status being manipulated'.
"From these messages, we can learn one thing." Logan held a piece of roasted and delicious 'leg of lamb' in his hand: "If we want to leave this training ground, we may encounter some troubles."
No matter what their real situation is, in the eyes of the imperial people in this world, they are all 'natives' of this training ground, they are puppet creatures to be strictly controlled, and they must do what they should do according to the life route they arranged things.
The behavior of fleeing from the training ground, like trying to get out of control, will definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of those people, and will inevitably lead to violent suppression.
"Currently, our spacecraft is still in the plan. Will this be too passive?"
Even if there is no need for a space battle, but being trapped in the opponent's sphere of influence, once a war starts, it will definitely be very passive. But there is no need to worry too much about this. If the situation is not good, Ethan can take everyone to hide in other worlds for a while, and wait until he gets the spaceship before returning.
Anyway, no matter how long they stayed in other worlds, this world only passed for a moment, and they had a strong enough hole card to fight back.
"We don't have to worry too much."
Ada took small sips of the soup. She didn't eat less to maintain a perfect figure, but she had already finished eating. The bones thrown all over the floor by her feet let people know that she ate no more than a strong man like Logan. few.
"From what happened to this Betty... and the improvement of skills mastered by those local adventurers, it can be seen that the so-called empire doesn't seem to have such a strong control over this training ground."
"It's not just this, no matter what, a student sent out a distress signal, but after more than 800 years, the rescue team can't be seen..."
Ethan shrugged his shoulders. It doesn't look like something that can be done by the forces who regard the training ground as their own backyard; unless Betty offends some powerful figure, the other party wants to take this opportunity to kill her. That's why no one came to the rescue.
But this may not be too big. Even if the rescue team doesn't come, wouldn't there be other students passing by here? No one has discovered her dormant chamber for more than eight hundred years?
This island is not that huge. Although the place Betty chose is hidden, it is not difficult to find. Is it so unlucky that no one has discovered it?
"Perhaps no one has been to this island for a long time."
If this is the case, then what might have happened to the so-called empire, it may have abandoned this training ground, so the "aboriginal people" here can start to improve their civilization level, and technology based on the use of magic stones has emerged.
Logan threw the gnawed bones aside: "If this is the case, no one will stop us from leaving this place, but it is best to be prepared to deal with possible enemies."
Ethan nodded, the situation can't just look good, they must be prepared to deal with the worst possible situation.
"The question now is, what role does the guild play in it?"
No one present was an idiot, and he immediately thought of what kind of organization the guild was.
"What else can it be? Help the imperial forces to better control the local residents." Laura's evaluation is not polite at all, and everyone thinks this evaluation is very appropriate.
The guild has almost monopolized all technology and magic stone transactions in this world, and can even control what level of equipment can be used in each sea area. If they say that they are not an organization established by the empire, fools will not believe it.
At this time, Ethan was thinking about whether he could get more information from the guild?
