Chapter 573: Three-Eyed Raven

In order to find an uninhabited island large enough, Ethan sent out all his extraordinary eagles. It took him half a day to finally find a suitable island.

It is about 30 nautical miles from Vilen Port and covers an area of ​​more than ten square kilometers.

Assuming that the experiment is in line with the conjecture, such a large area should be enough to accommodate the tentacles.

However, although a suitable island has been found, considering confidentiality, Ethan decided to wait until he saw Valejo first, in case he knew about it and he would not come.

For the next three days, Ethan was waiting for Valejo to come to his house.

During this period, he asked Paparia to deal with the Northland supplies. Although the relationship with him is very tense now, he still has to give him what he should give.

Originally thought there would be some twists and turns, but unexpectedly things went surprisingly smoothly. The 19 regions in the south all expressed that they would complete their quotas as soon as possible.

Ethan was really at a loss for words.

Before the orcs came in, everyone made excuses and no one was willing to pay. Now that the orcs have come in, no one is making excuses anymore.

Alas... I can only say that these people are all equally mean. Although they all have their own mean methods, the treatment methods are very uniform.

I didn't want to shirk responsibility, but the Northland insisted on pushing Maro City to the forefront, forcing Maro City to take sides.

I didn't understand why the Northland did this before. I had been trying to help the Northland, but they stabbed me in the back.

Now looking back, everything is clear. The reason why the Northland excluded Maro City was probably to force Maro City to take sides, so that everyone could shirk responsibility.

In this way, they can let some orcs in with good reason.

I have to say that the person who made this plan is really good at calculating.

If this conjecture is correct, then it is obviously a misunderstanding to think that they want to give up the Northland.

The Northland is still the bloody Northland. They have never thought of giving up the Northland from beginning to end. They just want to solve the problem by themselves.

Thinking of the harsh words he said to Nolan not long ago, Ethan felt his face getting hot.

However, it doesn't matter, as long as the result is good.

The next thing to do is to clean up the orcs who entered the pass, and then kill the [Ancient Eye] that caused trouble, so that at least it can be calm for a while.

As for the orcs, Ethan once again issued an initiative to mobilize all the strong men to destroy them together, but this time the initiative is not only for Maro City, but the entire southern region.

Originally, Ethan planned to issue a call to all regions, but in view of the fact that there is no substantial influence in other regions, it is better not to swell up his face and fill it with fat.

If people do not respond to the call, losing face is a small matter, but it is not worthwhile to lose dignity.

In fact, there are now 15 great swordsmen and 17 sages in the 19 regions in the south. Even if half of them are willing to respond to the call, it is enough to deal with those orcs.

Ethan is still confident about this half of the strong men, because although this matter seems to be voluntary on the surface, in fact they have to go, after all, those who do not go will worry about being played with shoes.

This is what human relations are like. If you give me face, I, Ethan, will also give you face.

Everyone's interests are tied together, and we all prosper and suffer together. Giving face to others is also giving face to yourself. In the future, when everyone has difficulties, we can work together to solve them.

Everything is as Ethan guessed. Each family has at least one strong man, plus some strong men from outside, a total of 25 people.

Although Ethan himself could not leave Maro City, he also sent Volibear.

At the same time, Nanyue also sent more than a thousand people. Of course, they could not go to the battlefield, but just to help.

For this operation, Nanyue specially mobilized thousands of war horses and hundreds of carts of supplies, and rushed to the battlefield with many strong men.

All this was coordinated by Paparia, and Ethan himself quietly waited for Vallejo's arrival.

But as three days were about to pass, the other party did not move at all.

"He won't not come!" Ethan said to himself while sitting in the study.

Sophia, who was reading a book, looked up at the sky and said, "He wants the Seven Sins Artifact. This is his only chance. He will come! The only thing to consider is how to come?"

As soon as Sophia finished speaking, "Cack", two crows came.

Ethan's mouth corners raised an arc, stood up and opened the window.

Not long after, a crow slowly landed on the windowsill. It was the three-eyed crow that I had seen in the underwater temple.

"Sir Ethan, I'm here! If you have anything you want to tell me in person, you can do it now!" As soon as the crow landed, it spoke human language.

"Why don't you dare to come to see me? What are you afraid of?"

"You asked me to come, not to ask me what I'm afraid of! Why don't we talk about business?"

Ethan slowly sat back in his chair, supporting his chin with one hand, and said with a smile: "You seem to be very anxious? What are you anxious about?"

The crow was silent for a while, and then said: "Sir Ethan, I have come here with sincerity. If you don't want to talk about business, then I will leave now."

"Okay!" Ethan shrugged: "There are a few questions I want to confirm with you in person. First, what is your real purpose for wanting the Seven Sins Artifact?"

"I think Nolan has explained everything to you, and I don't need to explain it again."

Ethan exhaled heavily: "You told him everything Nolan knows!"

"So to speak!"

"Then I want to hear your explanation in person. Please tell me in person why you want the Seven Sins Artifact."

Crow fell into silence again, and after a long while, he said: "I guess you must have some kind of treasure to judge whether others are lying! You called me here just to confirm whether I am lying?"

"You can think so!" Ethan smiled: "This is a necessary process, just like you think I might be defrauding you, so you don't dare to show up!

I can tell you clearly that as long as I am sure that you are not lying, I will not only hand over the Seven Sins Artifact with both hands, but also ensure your safety. No one will bother you again in the future.

But if you don’t say it, or give up, I will treat you as a fraud.

Not only do you not want to get the Seven Sins Artifact, but you also have to be prepared to be killed at any time.

In addition, I will not give you another chance to explain. I will hunt you down even more crazily in the future until you are all dead.

So now, you can decide whether to explain it yourself. "

"Sir Ethan, do you know what you are talking about? Instead of verifying the facts, you put all your trust in a precious phantom. Don't you think it's ridiculous?"

Hearing this, Sophia stood up and left silently.

She walked along the corridor and finally came to a brightly lit room. As soon as she entered the door, she asked: "Haven't you found him yet?"

…
