Chapter 229 Brent's Trouble
Logan and Serena decided to go to the restaurant opposite to have something to eat, and by the way, they could listen to what people were talking about, which would help them understand the world.
They heard a lot of Dingxi from Ethan, but most people like to "get information" by themselves, rather than just passively accepting it from someone.
"If it takes too long, you can go back directly, you don't have to wait for me here all the time."
"I know."
Logan called Laura, and then walked towards the opposite side with Serena. Ethan watched them enter the hotel, turned around and nodded to the guard at the door before preparing to enter the door.
At this time, a group of people came out one after another. These people were tall, short, fat and thin, but everyone showed a strong aura. From the temperament of these people, they knew that they were not ordinary adventurers.
It's just that everyone's faces are not so good-looking at this moment. After they passed Ethan and walked out of the gate, they greeted some people gathered outside, and then led a few people out of here.
Watching them disappear into the distance, Ethan guessed that these were the captains that Brent invited back, but it seems that they didn't talk about it?
Stepping inside, you don't need to look for it. After walking in, the room used for conversation is not closed. Ethan only needs to take a few steps forward to see Brent sitting in it and a few other people.
"Sure enough, a lot of people came."
At least a few dozen people went out before, but there are still a dozen or so left. Considering that these people are quite powerful adventurers, there will be a group of crew members more or less, and it is impossible for everyone to be exactly the same. Came here on the same day, so it can be said that Brent has gathered at least a thousand adventurers this time, including the crew?
"Big deal!"
He became more and more curious about what exactly Brent was going to do? big trouble? What kind of trouble is it? Even if thousands of adventurers do not participate, there are at least a dozen large ships in a team of several hundred people, which can be regarded as a fleet.
Stepping into the room, I could see that this was a conference room. Brent was sitting on a chair beside it. At the same time, there was a huge long table in the middle of the conference room, which seemed to be covered with something.
The sound of Ethan's footsteps caused several people in the conference room who were thinking about something to raise their heads at the same time. Brent wanted to see who was coming, and was a little surprised when he found out that it was Ethan.
"Ethan? Are you here too?"
He didn't ask how Ethan got the news. He released the message without specifying the target to receive it. It was a public message. As long as there was a communication device, he could know it. Maybe Ethan's ship was installed.
"Come and see when you know the news. Are you in trouble?"
The other adventurers didn't say anything, they just looked at Ethan quietly. In their eyes, Ethan's appearance is a bit too young, he should be no more than twenty-five years old. Adventurers of this age are not uncommon, but not many are good enough. Many young people of this age are just getting used to it. It's just life on this sea.
However, anyone who can make a name for himself or accumulate some capital at such a young age either has extraordinary strength or has a strong backer.
No matter which one is not easy to provoke, sitting here is a shrewd old fried dough stick, of course, will not jump up to provoke Ethan inexplicably.
"What exactly is the situation?"
After a brief chat with Brent, Ethan cut to the chase. He was curious about what trouble Brent had to recruit to deal with?
Ethan knows that Brent's strength is not bad. He still doesn't know how many cards Brent has. Considering the equipment Cleo used before, it makes no sense for Brent to be inferior to Cleo.
"Come and have a look first."
Ethan followed Brent to the long table, only then did he see clearly that there was a map on the table.
"A map of this sea area?"
"Well, the focus is on these two routes."
This was made by Brent in the past few years. Ethan observed it and found that there was nothing special around the central island, but a lot of content was marked on the two routes.
For example, when you enter the area, climate change becomes more frequent; what is the change in the speed and direction of ocean currents; there may be certain rules in the frequency and distance of floating and sinking islands; Threatening creatures.
These contents are marked on the chart. Some of them are marked with certainty and some are marked with doubts. The former should be confirmed after multiple tests, and the latter cannot be finally confirmed.
On this map, the air route that Ethan had not traveled before, that is, the middle and rear section of the route to the north in his concept, was placed by Brent as a red object.
"The trouble you're talking about is here?"
The red was so conspicuous that Ethan couldn't even notice it.
"Yes."
"What's in here?"
Brent's face was not very good-looking, and after pondering for a while, he came up with an answer that surprised Ethan.
"I am not sure as well."
"what?"
Brent gave a helpless smile, sighed and shook his head.
"I can't get anywhere near here."
Ethan suspected that he had heard it wrong, and he looked back at the location of the red object on the map. It was indeed in the middle and back, not in the back.
"You can't get close? Haven't you been to this position before?"
"No, I've been to deeper areas before."
Ethan now somewhat understands why Brent felt that he was in big trouble. This sudden appearance of unknown things caused an abnormal situation in this route. Brent was blocked in the previous position of this area. This situation is absolutely abnormal, and for Brent, who has an 'ideal', this unexpected situation is the thing that worries him the most.
"So you want to figure out what's going on?"
Ethan guessed that Brent wasn't just trying to figure out what was going on here, he was also going to clear the accident, otherwise he wouldn't have to ask so many people to help.
Always believing that unity is strength, and only the adventurers who are united can defeat these troublesome Brent, it is not surprising that Ethan would choose to do so.
Brent didn't say anything, just sighed helplessly. Ethan looked at the few people sitting there, then thought of the group of people who had left before, and understood why Brent had such an expression.
The obvious fact is that Brent has a lot of face, and a message has called back so many powerful adventurers. But his face is just like this, these people are not willing to accompany Brent to solve this 'trouble'.
In the eyes of these people, it's just that some strange island or some kind of monster was born on the 'suicide route'. This kind of thing is normal and there is no need to make a fuss.
Or they feel that this thing can't affect them, even if the 'northern route' can no longer go, it doesn't matter, there is another route anyway.
Why would they follow Brent to do this kind of thing?
What kind of powerful monsters, strange islands, etc., even if they really become a threat, there will be more powerful adventurers to solve them. Anyway, this world does not lack that kind of top-notch characters. Maybe people will take this by the way when they are about to hit the stormy sea. The problem is solved, why do they have to show the limelight?
The limelight didn't come out, but instead he lost his life, thanks? They just want to live in this world, not heroes.
Even those who stayed here did not finally make up their minds to solve this trouble with Brent. Maybe they owed Brent's favor, or they also saw a possible crisis, but they couldn't make up their minds to do it. this matter.
In any case, it is certain that Brent's collection of information did not achieve his purpose.
Although Ethan didn't make his own decision, it didn't prevent him from guessing why those people refused. These are roughly the reasons. Brent wanted to use the concept of 'common crisis' to persuade non-subordination and even ideological differences. The huge adventurer is too naive.
But isn't that Brent?
At this moment, a man who had been sitting in the corner stood up and walked to Brent's side.
"Although I don't see the point of your insisting on doing this, you saved my life, so I won't refuse your request. But the guys under me believe that I follow me on the sea, and I can't take it Their lives are a joke."
When he heard this, Ethan thought another captain was going to reject Brent.
"So I need some time, I'm going to arrange the guys, and then I'll go to this place with you and see what's going on in there."
Brent nodded and sent the man away himself. When he came back, Ethan, who was thinking about something, showed a wry smile: "This is the first one who agreed to join."
"Then I can only be the second one?"
Ethan thought about it for a while, and felt that it was nothing to take a trip with Brent, and he was also very interested in the strange situation that occurred on this route.
Brent never thought that Ethan would agree to join in so easily, but compared to the previous one who agreed to join, Brent was a little worried about whether Ethan's decision was a bit hasty?
"Don't you need to discuss it with your companions?"
"I will discuss it with my companions, but I think they will make the same decision as me." Two immortal mutants, a vampire with extremely powerful vitality, and a Protoss who likes to make trouble, Ethan doesn't think They will refuse because they feel dangerous.
Especially the Protoss who likes to do things. If he finds a little trouble, he can let Loki have something to do, so as not to be bored for too long, this guy will take the initiative to do things.
"Then, you are welcome to join, Captain Ethan."
