Chapter 44 The Goddess of Dawn, which is in urgent need of strengthening
Ethan's words were just a simple sigh and complaint. Unexpectedly, the few people in the seat next to him nodded in agreement.
"Yes, why do you think that those two routes are a suicide path."
"I have already seen myself. I don't have the ability or the courage. I will live honestly in this sea area in my life. It is very satisfying to be able to live beyond fifty years old."
"Fifty years old? Young man, when you reach my age, you will want to die smoothly, rather than dying at sea. The greatest wish is."
"I won't wait until I'm fifty or forty years old, I will definitely try to hit those two routes, even if I die, I will die on the sea."
"Yes, I think so too."
"It is a good thing to have a goal, which will give you more motivation to fight."
The mixed voices were endless, and Ethan didn't notice that the conversation between the two attracted so many people's attention. Thinking about it, this is a public place, and Brent is more or less a celebrity, and many adventurers know him.
Seeing Brent talking to a young man, most people couldn't control their curiosity, and Brent did not deliberately lower his voice, so the people around him could hear it clearly.
These adventurers have some understanding of the route, and some don’t. No matter which one, they didn’t bother Brent and Ethan. Maybe they thought Brent was taking care of the newcomers again.
It was also because of such a small episode that Ethan realized that most of the adventurers in this place did not occupy the majority of the people who wanted to attack those two routes, but were more people who were content with the status quo, including some adventurers who were in their prime.
He turned his head and looked around, and finally looked at Brent in front of him.
Now Ethan gradually understood why Brent attached so much importance to taking care of newcomers. He was the kind of adventurer who had just arrived here, and he still maintained enough enterprising and sufficient spirit. As long as they could ensure the speed of their own development, they would regard impacting the storm waters as their most important goal, rather than simply stumble on life.
Although Brent has a great reputation, if he raises his arms, he can indeed gather a large number of adventurers, but he does not want to force others. Moreover, can those adventurers who have lost their spirit really help when they are in crisis?
In addition, many of the adventurers really recognized their strength and could not cross that route at all. If Brent forcibly tied them to his warship and pulled them to attack that route together, it would only prove that he was a scheming conspirator, not a good person.
Now, Brent doesn't want to do that. He really hopes that all adventurers who go to that route can survive smoothly and successfully break through the storm waters.
"These two routes are not that easy to go, and they are full of difficulties. The farthest time I did not reach the end."
After a long period of impact and exploration, the adventurers roughly divided any one of the two routes into three parts.
The first section starts from a sharp turn and reaches one-third of the entire route. The middle section is naturally the middle third, and the last third is the last section.
This division is not without reason. In general, the previous period was pretty good, but the winds and waves were larger. Although climate changes were frequent, each climate was maintained for a longer period and had enough buffer time during the transition. Although there were few floating islands, they could still be found, and the island pointer could be used normally. Although the creatures on the island were dangerous, fully armed adventurers could still cope with it.
The climate began to be drastically and harsh in the middle, with climate change more rapidly and frequent, and the cycle began to shorten. At the same time, the island pointer gradually failed. When looking for island supplementary supplies, you should also be careful of the creatures on the island, because all kinds of strange creatures are no longer limited to living on the island.
The tail section is the most dangerous, so the situation is the worst. The pointer completely fails in this area. It is entirely up to luck to find island supplementary supplies. At the same time, various powerful and vicious creatures threaten the lives and safety of adventurers. Some people even call this area a monster hunting ground - adventurers are not hunters, but prey of various monsters.
Of course, this division is not absolute, and various changes are also slowly changing, rather than being as clear as clearly distinguishable as you stand here and you can feel the completely different situation one meter away.
Those monsters would not guard the fixed area, they would move everywhere. There was a precedent for monsters in the tail section to run to the front section and even wanted to leave the route and run towards this sea area. It was a relatively powerful adventurer at that time that he called on everyone to kill them together, which avoided a catastrophe.
When talking about this, Brent's expression was not very good and his tone was a little low, as if the story was not about the adventurer's final victory but about the monster creating a huge catastrophe.
"The adventurers who participated in the interception..."
"Most of them died in that battle, including the strong man who recruited everyone." Brent shook his head regretfully: "He has reached the last part of the route. At that time, many people thought he was the adventurer who had the most hope of rushing through the storm waters. However, after discovering that the monster moved towards the front, he turned around and chased him all the way, and called on the strong men on the route to kill the monster together, and finally successfully killed the monster before it rushed out of the route."
Brent seemed to be trapped in the memory, and was silent for a long time before continuing to talk.
"At that time, I had just begun to try to attack that route and happened to participate in that battle." Brent shook his head helplessly: "At that time, I was too weak and could only stay far away to watch, and I didn't even have the qualification to get close to me... It was precisely because of this that people as weak as me survived."
Ethan suddenly understood why Brent was so persistent in uniting everyone's strength. Perhaps it was this incident that left a deep impression on him. He felt that no matter how strong his personal strength was, it would not have much effect when facing such a monster. Only when countless people united can they overcome the difficulties.
Brent's own personality is also related. If he changes to a dark and deep mind, he probably will design various conspiracies to pave the way for him.
"So that's how it is."
Ethan's hand, which had been slowly turning the cup, finally stopped.
"Although I still don't agree with some of your thoughts and actions, I'm beginning to understand why you did that."
Brent finally regained his smile and nodded at Ethan. It was always a happy thing to be recognized or understood by his ideas.
"It's best if you can understand." Brent looked at the dim sky and took the initiative to say goodbye to Ethan: "It's getting late, I have to go back."
"I'm going back too." Ethan stood up and expressed his gratitude to Brent again. No matter what, he got such detailed information today. Thanks to Brent, who must admit this favor: "If you need it, you can leave me a message through the guild."
Most of the time, this is what Brent would say goodbye to people, but this time Ethan said it first. He didn't know how to answer the conversation at once, so he could only smile and nodded: "I can do it. If you need help, you can leave me a message."
Watching Brent gradually fade away, Ethan also turned around and walked towards the hotel where he stayed.
I got a lot of news from Brent today, and the most important thing was that I no longer know anything about the two routes. He began to consider whether to go to the route to take a look after the route after the finishing and maintenance.
He has no clear goal in this world. Maybe if he really wants to talk about it, his goal will always be towards the "higher level", so the storm waters must be the area he wants to rush through.
"What will the next area look like after rushing through the storm sea?"
It's a little early to think about this, so he should also consider which of the two routes he wants to take?
Brent gave himself a comprehensive message, including some of his own personal experiences, including the general situation of the two routes.
In general, the two routes are not very different, and the difficulties are roughly the same, and there is no difference between them.
Although there are many dangers on the two routes, they also represent higher returns. Although the number of floating islands is getting smaller and smaller, the resources on the islands are getting more and more.
If you can still encounter islands without resources in the calm sea, then there will definitely be islands without anything on the way.
Higher quality wood, ore, magic stone, and valuable resources required for survival in this world can be found on islands on the route.
So just talking about the front part of the route, many adventurers are still active. Even those who are determined to spend their entire lives in this sea will go to the front part of the route to collect resources.
"What really distinguishes the adventurer level in this sea area is the middle section of the route."
Only those who are interested in storm waters like Brent will frequently sail to the middle section, allowing the crew to familiarize themselves with the sea conditions and exercise their abilities, while constantly testing the ships.
To overcome the worse sea conditions, a better ship is undoubtedly needed. From this point of view, Ethan wants to strengthen his Goddess of Dawn, which is a very correct idea - even if he can't imagine that as long as he wants to continue to "move forward", the environment will force him to make such a choice.
Especially a few days later, when Ethan's Goddess of Dawn entered the shipyard for maintenance, Ethan saw several ships modified in the shipyard, including several "iron-armored ships" covered with metal. All of this told him that the current Goddess of Dawn could not satisfy his ambitions at all.
