Chapter 4: 4
Quickly rescued two people who fell into the water, and then asked if there were any survivors? After getting a negative answer, Ethan quickly turned the ship's bow and moved away from the Sea Territory as quickly as possible.
His boat is too small, although there is still a certain distance from the range of rainstorms, just the aftermath has made him feel that his boat can capsize at any time.
Ethan was a little relieved until he drove far away, and the waves gradually diminished. After looking back at the rainstorm, it seemed that there was no tendency to move here, so he had the time to look at the rescued two.
Individuals-one of them is slightly thin, about 40 years old, and his handsome face has been engraved with the traces of years; the other is about 30 years old, just when he was young and strong, his clothes were soaked. The revealing tendon flesh also proves this point.
"Thank you very much for your life-saving grace."
The older man, after drinking a few sips of water, immediately opened the mouth and said thank you, then put his hand Handed the wooden spoon to the man next to him.
It can be seen that both of them are old sailors. They are very careful when drinking water, for fear of wasting it, even if it has just turned peril into safety, I don't know how long it has not been drinking water.
"You are welcome."
When the other person finished drinking the water, Ethan took the wooden spoon back and put it away, and then asked what happened to the two.
The two are indeed old sailors. The older one is called Wood and the younger one is Rodney. They have been in this Sea Territory for several years and they have some family properties.
Wood has a decent sailing boat in his hand and a few good helpers by him. Several of them have been busy on this sea for several years, and finally made up their minds a few days ago: cross the sea of storms and head to the new Sea Territory.
Until this time, Ethan learned of the magic of this World from Wood.
It is not clear what this World is like for the time being. Although Wood has been on the sea for several years, he only knows that the ocean at his feet is called the Sea of Calm, which is a relatively peaceful Sea Territory.
How big is the calm sea? Wood doesn't know much, only knows it's great! But he was very sure that the calm sea was not infinite.
Just around the sea of calm, there is a continuous howling wind and torrential rain that flashes and thunders, enclosing the sea of calm like a wall. These rainstorm areas, which are surrounded by the calm sea, are called the sea of storms by everyone.
In contrast, the closer you are to the edge, the more dangerous, the closer you are to the center of the calm sea, the safer. There are no strong winds and waves, and the seafood is abundant.
They have to ensure sufficient drinking water for many years of sailing at sea, but they do not need to worry too much about food.
"Even if you can't find the island, you can find enough food from the sea, enough to support us back to the State Island to replenish the supplies."
As for Ethan, he has been confused. The issue of small islands, not to mention islands after he went out to sea, he had never seen a reef.
In this regard, Wood said that although it is magical and unbelievable, the most magical thing about the calm sea is these islands that suddenly appear and disappear.
"They may pop up suddenly, and in a short time they will be covered with various plants and fruits, and then these plants will wither and die suddenly, and as the whole island sinks to seabed again No trace."
These are said to suddenly emerge from the seabed, and then in a short time become an island full of lush vegetation and fruits.
They exist for varying lengths of time. Hearing what Wood said he had seen. The shortest one only exists for a few days, and then it will sink into seabed disappeared.
It is said that in the entire calm sea, only State Island is an unsinkable island, and the area is not small, almost becoming the center of all people living in this sea.
Except for State Island, there are only a few small islands in a few places, and they are far apart from each other. Ethan lived before is one of them.
"So, those people who went to sea on the outlying islands all went to this big island called State?"
Unfortunately, Wood quickly gave a negative s answer.
"It's a pity that although the State Island is not small, it can't accommodate that many people. Very few people can settle on the island for a long time. Most people still have to venture out on the sea to seek life. Rely on finding those islands that suddenly appeared, and collecting the materials on them in exchange for what you need to sustain your life."
Wood looked at Ethan: "youngster, you look like you should have just left your hometown… "
"Yes!" Ethan briefly introduced himself, but he skipped most of the content. He only said that his parents had passed away and he didn't want to stay, so he came out to make trouble.
As soon as he said this, he noticed that Rodney, who hadn't made a sound, showed a suspicious expression of "this guy is mentally retarded", but he quickly controlled his expression, if It's not that Ethan's cultivation spirit strength strengthened the senses a bit these days, I'm afraid I won't find it yet.
Wood smiled and said: "youngster is very courageous, but although this calm sea looks good, he has been wandering on the sea for many years looking for islands that suddenly appeared out of nowhere. It's not such a beautiful life."
As for persuading Ethan to stop dreaming and go home quickly and live a lifetime, I didn't say anything. Maybe you have seen too many youngsters with dreams?
"On those islands, what are there to collect?"
Finally understood what this World is like. Although Ethan felt a bit nonsense, he encountered all the crossings. I still have a magical pointer in my hand, so this World is nothing at worst at all strange.
"Food, minerals, wood…As long as you can move it, almost everything you can see can be collected and sent to State Island in exchange for the materials you need, and you can even order ships. , Recruiting sailors, etc…"
Ethan understands that everything that can be found is useful. After all, in a world full of oceans, it can be said that everything is lacking, and naturally, everything is useful.
State Island, like a town for online games, helps the adventurers transform the resources they find into what they need and then sell them back, maintaining the survival of everyone here in this way.
"It seems that there should still be quite powerful rulers on this island." Without absolute strength, everyone can't act according to the rules set by him.
Wood's enlightenment teaching to Ethan, a newcomer, continues, and basic common sense about the calm sea has been stuffed into Ethan's brain.
He finally knows that this World does not have the concept of East, South, West, North. The way they distinguish the direction is the direction of the sun rising and setting.
"We now sail in the direction where the sun rises, and we can reach State Island. If you want to eat at sea, then I suggest you go to the Voyager Guild first when you get to the island Apply for membership."
"What's that?"
Following Wood's explanation, Ethan has an in-depth understanding of this World.
The Voyagers Guild provides some conveniences for adventurers who eat at sea, such as providing basic food, clothing, housing, and transportation; helping to store materials that are not easy to use for a while, or sell these materials on their behalf; It also provides an open trading platform; apart from this can also store personal property in the personal account of the Voyager Guild, etc.
At the same time, the guild will also give adventurers some conveniences, such as giving priority to some rare materials and even giving priority to helping guild members repair or build ships.
"And when you have a good enough crew and a good enough ship, then you can try the safest route through the sea of storms and reach the new Sea Territory, And one step closer to the legendary endless land…"
Wood has said before that he and his partners are consciously strong enough to try to break through the sea of storms. Starting from State Island, the direction where Towards the Sun fell is the safest route in the Sea of Storms.
It's just the safest route, and it's all compared to crossing the sea of storms from other locations-this route has small storms, weak waves, and no lightning and thunder.
Wood failed. Fortunately, they haven't gotten far into the sea of storms, so he and Rodney also saved their lives and insisted on being rescued by Ethan.
After talking for a long time, Wood just leaned there and fell asleep. He and Rodney persisted in the sea for a long time, and their physical strength had already reached its limit.
Only the extreme excitement and joy after being rescued made him in a state of excitement, that was able to tell Ethan a lot of things. When this energy was over, and the fatigue came up uncontrollably, he couldn't hold on anymore and just sleep like a dead pig.
Rodney slept very hard, even if he curled up and couldn't stretch out, he didn't mean to wake up because of his discomfort.
The small wooden boat was already full of things. Now there were three people crowded. Ethan decided to sit by the rudder and leaning on a pile of debris for the night.
The lesson of the indispensable defensive heart kept him awake at all times, and he did not dare to let go of his sleep, so he simply sailed through the night for the reason of hurrying, just took the time to close his eyes and rest for a while.
The next few days were fairly calm, Ethan remained vigilant at all times, and Wood and Rodney seemed to be harmless, Wood still popularized Ethan some basic common sense, Rodney still's so taciturn. The three men in a small boat went straight to the largest unsinkable island in the calm sea: State Island.
The boat found a place in the prosperous port of State Island to stop and finally set foot on the ground again. The three people formally bid farewell.
"The kindness of life-saving is difficult to return, Ethan, if you have anything you need me in the future, you can leave me a message in the guild and say it is for the Swordfish Captain Wood."
Most people in the world don't seem to have surnames, so to avoid making mistakes with the same name, they will deliberately add additional notes. The Nautical Association's method is to distinguish them according to the registered ship names.
"There is also this thing for you, as the money for meals these days." After speaking, Wood took out a small red stone and stuffed it into Ethan's hand: "This is a Fire Attribute Magic stone, it should be of some use to you."
