Chapter 269

Looking at the motionless screen, Charles's heart was in a mess at this moment, his previous guess was correct.

The foundation's demise was really because they touched the gods. They were not only satisfied with researching the relics, they tried to master the power of the gods!

What the praying mantis hanging upside down on the dome said was also true, the disaster was caused by humans, no wonder they did not allow humans to go to the New Territories City again.

Charles couldn't imagine what kind of disaster it would be, and it could wipe out the Foundation in an instant, so that all their backhands didn't have any effect.

"Is it true that human beings are useless in front of the gods? If one day the gods under the sea get tired and go directly to the surface, then..." Charles felt a shudder.

"No, now is not the time to think about these things. Just now Tuba said that he saw something even more terrifying than this disaster, and told me to be careful of the Pope. What did he see?"

Charles looked at the tablet in his hand, and quickly clicked a few times, trying to find more information again, but the other videos on the tablet were left by the descendants of the little boy, and what he said was nothing more than nonsense.

Charles frowned slightly thinking about this question. Tuba seemed to have the ability to predict the future before he went crazy. Compared with the Pope who was completely invisible, the words of this living relic were obviously easier to believe.

But at present, it seems that the pope has not acted abnormally towards himself. How did he cause something more terrifying than the disaster of the Annihilation Foundation?

Charles couldn't figure it out. The Illuminati also lived in Earthsea. If there was a catastrophe, their church would also suffer heavy losses.

Charles thought about what the Pope had done in the past, but couldn't find a clue.

"Crack" the tablet in the doctor's hand fell to the ground, his face was a little melancholy, and his body was shaking so much that he couldn't even stand upright.

"Hey, are you okay?" Charles reached out and quickly supported him.

The doctor looked at Charles with a complicated expression, his shriveled mouth trembled for a while, then opened slightly and said, "My ancestors were also surface people like you?"

"The people in the tablet have no reason to lie to us, it should be true."

"Oh..., is that so..." The doctor moved to a stool and sat down, with a sense of relief on his ugly face.

"How does it feel to have a doubt that has plagued you for most of your life solved?" Charles asked.

"Well... that's it... I thought there was something in it."

The doctor's reaction was not as agitated as Charles had imagined.

He suddenly found that the old man in front of him seemed to have aged a lot in an instant.

"What to watch, after watching the excitement, go do your business." The doctor waved his hands carelessly away.

"Are you really okay? Do you want me to take you back to the ship first?"

"Fuck off!! When I'm so old that I can't even move?" The doctor took out an empty wine bottle and threw it at Charles.

Seeing the doctor's spirit came back again, Charles turned and left.

As for Professor Keqi, who was holding a tablet and discussing excitedly with his assistant, he didn't care at all.

Outside the teaching building, because of the late night, there were only a few energetic students, and the school looked a little deserted.

Charles looked around and walked towards the gate of the college.

As he walked, he thought about all kinds of doubts about the tablet.

The video left by the doctor's predecessor who worked in the foundation contains a lot of information.

All kinds of unanswered questions kept bothering Charles, and his mind was about to be muddled by these messy information.

Suddenly, a grunt in the abdomen woke Charles up. He was hungry.

Count it down. He hasn't eaten all day today.

Charles looked around, and soon saw that a restaurant in the distance was opening, and he walked over.

The restaurant is not big, but the cleanliness looks good, and it is full of customers. Most of the customers are students from the nearby school.

Just as Charles sat down in an empty seat, a smiling girl with freckles jumped over with a menu.

"This handsome gentleman, what would you like to order? Do you want to try today's special dish, salt-baked lobster round noodles? It's only available today~"

"Okay, then give me one, and also give me a bottle of banana wine and a few purple vines." Charles sipped his dry mouth and said.

The girl widened her eyes with a frightened expression, "I'm sorry, the store only has mushroom wine brewed by my father, and expensive wine like banana wine is usually only available in high-end restaurants in the heart of the island."

"Then have a bottle of Mushroom Bar." Charles almost forgot that this is not his Hope Island, and the price of banana wine will increase several times as long as the hope comes to the island.

"Do you really want a bottle? Our wine is very strong~"

"Well, I'll try."

"Guests wait a moment! Mom! One serving of salt-baked lobster round noodles and a whole bottle of mushroom wine." The jumping girl happily jumped towards the back kitchen.

During the waiting time, Charles looked around at the students chatting and eating, and his somewhat messy heart suddenly calmed down. At this moment, he seemed to have become an ordinary person.

Soon, Charles's food came up. He picked out a piece of lobster meat with a fork, rolled it in the noodles with sauce, and found that the taste was unexpectedly good.

Picking up the wine bottle, looking up at the surprised eyes of the freckled girl, Charles took a big sip. Charles found that the wine in this store was also very good. No wonder it was so late, the business in this store was the best.

Charles put down everything in his mind, enjoyed this delicious meal with peace of mind, and his empty stomach was filled with delicious food. Charles' mood slowly improved.

While Charles was eating his second order, a girl wearing round-rimmed glasses walked up to him with some trepidation and asked, "Sir, can I share a table with you? Other places... are full. gone."

Looking at the book in her hand, Charles nodded and moved the plate back slightly.

"Thank you! Thank you very much! Nini, please bring me some rye porridge." The girl with eyes opened the stool and sat down in front of Charles.

Soon, only a bowl of porridge the size of Charles' fist was delivered to the glasses girl.

Seeing the delicious meal in front of Charles, and looking at her simple food, the girl blushed a little, picked up a spoon and ate quickly.

As a result, perhaps because she ate too fast, she choked for a while, and the girl coughed violently.

A tissue was delivered to the girl, and the girl thanked Charles gratefully.

"Did you leave school so late?" Charles asked casually, chewing his noodles.

"You can't borrow too many books from the library. If you want to read more, you have to stay inside. I have to go back after eating."

"That was really hard work."

The girl put down the napkin and continued eating her rye porridge.

"It's not hard, as long as I can graduate from the college, I can find a high-paying job, and my mother won't have to help others wash clothes every day."

"It's good to have hope. If you have hope, you don't have to work hard."

"Yeah, thanks to Governor Swan's teaching subsidies. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to go to such a good university."
