"Captain Ethan."

"Just call me Ethan."

"Okay, Ethan. You can also call me Cleo directly." Cleo was very polite. His appearance was very different from the adventurers Ethan had seen before. It was like a second-generation who had a better background and received systematic education since childhood: "You said before that there is a mysterious power on this island that can make people fall into a illusion without realizing it?"

"Yes."

Ethan did not hide it, and simply told Cleo what he knew. He didn't care about such information, and he knew that just this information would not prevent the group of people from boarding the island. He was curious about how these people would deal with it after knowing this kind of trouble.

Cleo kept listening to Ethan's description quietly, occasionally asking for some small details, and then standing there thinking quietly. Ethan noticed that he glanced at him and Logan several times while thinking, and even glanced at his ship.

He was observing his situation!

Ethan immediately realized what Cleo was doing. He was inferring how credible he said based on his situation. At the same time, how much threat was that strange force. He seemed to want to judge whether there was any loss of personnel on his side from his reaction.

"Thank you very much for the information and help you provide. Perhaps these messages can help my crew escape some unknown dangers and thus save their lives."

Cleo thanked Ethan when he finished speaking the general situation, as if he was listening to Ethan's words concentratingly from beginning to end. If Ethan's senses were not far more sharp than ordinary people, he would not have noticed his cautious "small moves".

This is a very cautious captain.

Think about where this place is. The other party has a large number of crew members and can command so many subordinates well, proving that he is doing well here. So his own abilities do not need to be questioned. It is normal to have these actions.

If he ignores it and believes in the news provided by a stranger immediately, he will find it strange.

Then the two sides communicated for a while. Cleo finally greeted Ethan and returned to his ship. The Eternal slowly started again and drove towards a place not far ahead of the Dawn Goddess, which was the most suitable place to land nearby, and could also distance it from the Dawn Goddess.

It can be said that I was not clear about the situation before, so I came up to communicate and convey my goodwill.

Now that goodwill has been conveyed and the information has been obtained, the Eternal must find its own docking point and cannot be stuck outside the Dawn Goddess, so that there is a suspicion of trapping Dawn Goddess and being unfavorable to people.

In addition, it is too close to each other and neither side dares to relax their vigilance when they are resting at night. This is not a good thing for both sides, so it is necessary to properly distance yourself.

When the other party's boat slowly drove away, Logan, who had never opened his mouth, exchanged his views on Cleo with Ethan.

"This person is not easy to deal with."

"I know."

Ethan connected the communicator and reminded Diana that she could come out. Before, when the Eternal was getting closer, he contacted Diana with the communicator and told her not to come out and hide in her captain's room. If there was a conflict, she could directly attack the other person's ship from the window of the captain's room and launch an attack on the other party's ship.

This is the greatest confidence that Ethan dared to let the other party get closer. With Diana's current strength, it would be unnecessary to waste much effort to tear down a wooden sailboat. If she uses her divine power to bombard her, she can completely erase the Eternal from the world with one shot, and even the residue will not be left.

Diana walked out of the cabin and stood beside Ethan and Logan, looking at the Eternal, which had already opened at least two hundred meters away, now both sides could relax their vigilance a little. If an attack was launched, the opponent would notice it and have enough buffering time, which was a suitable distance.

"Who are those?"

"stranger."

Diana glanced at Ethan. She now understood a little bit. Human beings are not all kind, and human nature is very complicated. Many times, if you have good intentions, you cannot get the same kindness, or even malice.

"What do they want to do?"

"It should be like us, I want to go to the island to see what the island is, right?"

"With us?"

"No, I'll try it alone first."

Not long after the Eternal stopped, Ethan saw a team of several people stepping onto the island. This was a good opportunity to observe. He, Logan and Diana stood on the stern of the boat, using a telescope to observe the team.

He also looked at the Eternal side. Cleo did not step on the island, but stood on the stern like Ethan and his first mate, holding a telescope to observe his crew. Ethan also noticed that a lookout hand at the top of the Eternal mast was doing the same.

Because this island is a grassland, the sight will not be blocked, and everyone can clearly see the situation of the crew members.

At the beginning, they were moving on the island normally and moving deeper towards the center of the island, but as they gradually moved away and approached the center of the island, the group of people slowly dispersed. At this time, the Eternal seemed to have realized something was wrong. With Ethan having given enough information before, Cleo began to let his men send signals to the separated crew members.

Ethan had long noticed that every time the crew advanced for a distance, they would look back at the position of the Eternal, obviously observing whether there was any signal coming. Now they still maintained this habit, but no matter how the Eternal did, those people continued to move forward as if they had not seen it, and these people were becoming more and more dispersed, now it was like a few irrelevant people walking around the island.

Their route was not fixed, but they were generally still moving towards the depths of the island, and suddenly disappeared after walking for a distance.

Ethan knew that it must be this group of people who had completely fallen into the illusion. With enough grass covering it, there was no one lying on the ground in the distance.

"They looked back at their ship before, but continued to move forward as if they had not found any abnormality. This means that they had been affected by their senses at that time. In their eyes, their ship was still quietly stopped in place. Even the signal given was to tell them everything was normal."

"It should be."

Before, he was deeply trapped in the illusion and had no idea what was going on. Now the crew of the Eternal Showed it in person. After standing by the third party witnessed the whole process, Logan felt uncomfortable all over. It was even more uncomfortable to think that he was knocked down for no reason before.

"The people from that ship are going to act again."

Diana's eyesight is far superior to that of ordinary people. She doesn't need a telescope to see clearly the situation on Eternal, so she noticed Cleo's movements as soon as possible.

"The captain seems to be going to the island in person."

"At this time, the captain is indeed not suitable to continue to do nothing."

Regardless of whether the captain can rescue these crew members, he must take some action and give a clear statement. Even if he is very brainless and directly sent out his men to rescue him, it is better than to worry about any plan there.

Only when the crew felt that they were valued would they willingly work for the captain. In this regard, Cleo did a good job, even better than most captains did because he did it himself.

“It doesn’t seem to be a sensible decision.”

"It's not a good thing to be too rational at this time."

"If he is also stuck on the island, should we take action?"

Whether Cleo died or alive, Ethan actually didn't care. He was more curious about Cleo's strength. Maybe he had a way to deal with the mysterious power on this island? But listening to the two people, Ethan still gave his own answer.

"If he gets into trouble, we can help him."

Although Ethan is not a good person, Cleo left a good first impression on him. He doesn't mind helping such adventurers. He won't help everyone like Brent, but he is not a person who will never save him.

The two around Ethan, one is cold on the outside and the other is just a super kind-hearted hero, and they cannot sit idly by and watch Cleo die. Unless Cleo has a clear bad record and is a super bad guy who can't clear his sins even if he dies eight hundred times, then these two will never take action.

Compared to some absolutely justice superheroes, these two seem a little less 'just', but they are more tempted by Ethan, which is why he will pull Rogan on the boat, become friends with Diana, and even personally guide her how to control energy.

If it were Superman... Although he admired Superman's character and could make friends with the other party, he would never let him become his crew member or partner, because that was causing trouble for himself.

In addition to ability, Ethan's most important point in choosing a partner is that his personality and three views must be suitable.

"The captain has boarded the island."

Ethan and Logan raised their telescopes at the same time and looked at the Eternal. They found that Cleo was the only one who landed on the island. The first mate Bob continued to guard the ship. Through the biological detection on his glasses, Ethan knew that all the crew members on the opposite side gathered on the deck - there were about fifty people. With the displacement of Eternal, fifty people were already considered a very small configuration.

Compared to the number of people on the other side, Ethan's eyes were always focused on Cleo because he found that Cleo changed into a set of equipment, which he felt a little familiar.
