Chapter 44: Reward 2

Seeing that Tibers had been promised a reward, Robert was also eager to make a move.

Robert was the youngest of the three old, weak and disabled people, and was the survivor of the last attack in this territory.

He was good at building shelters and had carpentry experience. Among the crowd, Ethan was most optimistic about him.

Seeing his hesitant expression, Ethan took the initiative to ask: "Robert, do you have something to say?"

Robert was stunned for a while, but immediately came back to his senses and said slowly: "Lord Ethan, I found traces of a large beast in the forest.

Judging from the footprints, I think it is a dark cloud demon leopard with a length of more than 10 meters.

And it has already included our station in its hunting territory!

I remember that there was no such beast before, it should have just moved here."

Hearing this, Ethan remembered the night when he first came to the territory. In the woods of the territory, there was a pair of green eyes floating in the air.

"It turned out to be a dark cloud leopard. No wonder I couldn't see its body clearly!"

"Does Lord Ethan know about this beast?"

Ethan nodded: "We saw it on the first night we arrived, but it was dark and its body was pitch black, so we couldn't see its appearance clearly.

And it didn't seem to attack, so we ignored it!

In fact, there is no need to care about it. This kind of beast hides during the day and comes out at night. It will not come out during the day and will only come out to hunt at night.

As long as you don't leave this ship at night, you will definitely be fine.

And its existence is just right to keep watch for us. "

Robert's face changed when he heard it: "Sir, what you said makes sense, but we have to go into the forest to collect firewood during the day. If we run into it, we will be dead, right?"

"You are right!" Ethan smiled: "Indeed, and I am not afraid of it, but it does not mean that you are not afraid of it.

If something happens one night, you have to go out. A dark cloud demon leopard with a body length of more than ten meters is right next to you. It is indeed dangerous.

Don't worry! I will think of a way to kill it in the next two days. "

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

After dinner, Ethan did not go back to the room directly, but went to the captain's room.

This place has now been changed into his study, and considering the upcoming snowstorm, he moved the eagle's nest here.

Of course, the purpose of doing this is not to worry about the little yellow hair, but to worry that the mother eagle can't stand the snowstorm outside.

As for the little yellow hair, it must stay outside.

Without it, who will be on guard?

As soon as Ethan walked into the study, the female eagle flew happily to his shoulder and called affectionately.

After these days of getting along, it is no longer afraid of Ethan.

And I don’t know if it was the little yellow hair who whispered to it, Ethan felt that it was more intimate to him than the little yellow hair.

So he named it, Annie!

Ethan gently touched its head: "Annie, you like to eat grouper, right?"

Annie nodded as if she really understood what people said.

"Then I will catch it for you tomorrow. Follow me and I will never let you suffer any grievances!"

"You agree too!"

"That's great!"

Just as Ethan was playing with Annie, Angelina also came in.

Seeing Ethan teasing Annie, she smiled slightly and didn't say anything.

Then she sat down at her desk and began to deal with her affairs.

Sometimes she stopped to think, and sometimes she wrote furiously, and she didn't know what she was writing.

Ethan saw that Angelina was working and it was not good to disturb her, so he put Annie back to the eagle's nest, sat at the desk, and pretended to think about something.

Yes, pretend!

Ever since Angelina took over the housework and managed everything in an orderly manner, he has been idle, very idle.

Even because Angelina did so well, he felt like a useless person.

But he didn't want to appear useless in front of Angelina, so he had to pretend to work hard to plan for the territory.

Suddenly, Angelina spoke.

"Ethan, you promised Lili to teach me the dagger skills, I have no objection, but why do you have to promise to learn it in one day? You are causing trouble for me."

"Uh!" Ethan was a little speechless, and after a long while he replied: "Why would I cause trouble for you!"

"I know that your performance today is to encourage everyone to contribute to the territory." Angelina stroked her forehead and continued:

"But I hope this unrealistic approach will not happen again.

Do you know how much work I have done to convince Lili to stay at ease?

I finally appeased her, and you gave her unrealistic fantasies. How should I deal with it?

I am not against you establishing a reward and punishment system, but please be more realistic. I really have a lot of things to do, and I can't always give people psychological comfort."

Hearing this, Ethan smiled.

He could understand Angelina's feelings. After all, no one can handle affairs while constantly giving psychological counseling to his subordinates.

"I understand!" Ethan said with a smile, "But please believe me, this is not an unrealistic fantasy.

Not only will I make Lili a master in one day, I will also make you a master in one day?"

"Ah?" Angelina opened her mouth wide: "Ethan, are you serious?"

"Of course!" Ethan said confidently: "Tomorrow I will teach you the art of close combat with bare hands! After you learn it, you will know whether what I said is true or not!"

"Unarmed close combat?" Angelina didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this: "Ethan, if you want me to fight with you in close combat, and without clothes, I can practice with you right after I return to the room. You don't have to wait until tomorrow."

At this point, Angelina suddenly changed her face to a serious one, and said slowly: "But now, I am discussing things with you very seriously. I hope you can respect me and take this matter seriously.

Because it is very important to me, it is related to whether my future work can be carried out smoothly."

After hearing this, Ethan's mouth twitched.

Thinking carefully about what he said just now, is there any ambiguity?

But after thinking about it, he didn't find anything wrong with that sentence.

That can only prove that Angelina herself was thinking wrong.

But Ethan can understand it. After all, no one believes such a ridiculous thing, and Ethan can't explain it.

So, he can only smile awkwardly: "Tomorrow you will know whether what I said is true or false."

Angelina saw that Ethan was still talking nonsense, not only did she not get angry, but she laughed instead.

Because this proves that Ethan is relaxed and is no longer the restless Ethan on the boat.

"Ethan, you are really good at complimenting people.

I know you said this to prove from the side that I am doing a good job! My work makes you feel at ease!

Thank you! I have never felt so accomplished!
