Chapter 535 Departure

Bandage rode through the streets on his green postman bike.

More people died on the outer island, and the number of letters decreased, but he still did his job meticulously.

There is only one letter left in the green mail bag, and it is time to go back after delivery.

At this moment, the voice of a middle-aged man who was lying on the armchair and reading the newspaper next to him reached his ears.

"Damn it! The sea level is actually rising, these bastards from the Light God Sect! If the Pope is really in front of me, I have to take a gun and kill him!!"

"Crunch~" As the bandage gripped the handbrake of the bicycle with his fingers, he stopped in front of the last customer.

Before the bandage could stuff the last letter into the mailbox, the wooden door inlaid with colorful shells opened, and an old lady with graying hair came out from inside.

"Don't put it in the mailbox, young man, just give it to me. Is the name on it Johnson?"

After Bandage glanced at the envelope in his hand, it showed that the sender was Johnson Parker from Coral Island. "Um……"

The old woman took two steps quickly to the side of the bandage, and opened the envelope with a little excitement.

When she quickly read the content, her face with age spots showed extreme joy, she leaned the envelope against her chest, and said with a trembling voice: "Thank God, he was not killed by the death light, he is still alive! "

Without asking for advice on bandages, the old woman dragged him and began to ramble.

"Young man, do you know? He is my elder brother, my own elder brother. No matter which island we move to, our three brothers and sisters will use envelopes to communicate with each other. Since the death light came, my sister and I have never received his envelopes." Believe it, I thought he was killed by the death light, but I didn't expect that he was actually still alive, that's great."

"Thank you, young man, this letter means a lot to me."

"Hmm..." Bandage stepped on his foot hard, and rode towards his home.

Along the way, various discussions of the islanders on the roadside kept coming to his ears.

They were all discussing the information posted in the newspaper and from the Governor's Mansion, expressing their views one after another.

Ten minutes later, he came to the door of his own basement.

Just as he was locking his bicycle, the brand-new tire marks on the ground gave him a pause, and a car stopped in front of his house.

After Bandage quickly locked the bicycle, he walked towards the door.

As soon as the door was opened, the aroma of food came to my face. My mother was cooking, and my younger siblings were doing their homework.

"Are you back? Wash your hands, you'll be fine soon." Yi Lianna said without looking back, he could still hear the footsteps of the eldest son.

After a while, the family of four sat at the table and began to enjoy dinner.

The food is very simple, it is something common people eat, and it tastes very good after Irina's careful cooking.

Seeing the three children gulping down the lobster porridge, Yi Lianna showed a gratified smile on her face. She liked this kind of ordinary life and wanted to live it forever.

"West, eat slowly, there is still more."

Listening to the younger brother and sister talking about interesting things in school, the bandage ended the dinner.

He returned to his own room, staring blankly at a photo on the table, which showed all the members of the Narwhal.

In his mind, he recalled every bit of himself and them, as well as the tire track just now.

"Knock knock" the door was knocked. Elena walked in with a cup of hot drink, which she put on the table. "Son, I want to tell you something."

"What... thing... mother...?"

"I've also thought about it, let's live in the center of the island as soon as we move."

The bandage froze for a moment. "Before...you didn't...don't...agree?"

"Yeah, I thought that as long as you stay away from your crew, you can stay safe all the time, but I found that this is not possible, and I am too selfish."

"As a mother, sometimes you should let go and let your child choose his own path, even...even if this path is dangerous..."

Speaking of this, Yi Lianna took out a delicate invitation card from her arms. "The Governor is summoning you to go back. He said that he is going to save the whole world. I don't understand what he means. Sorry, forgive me for taking it apart first."

Bandages with complex expressions ran across the gold leaf on the invitation with fingertips. "Are you... willing to let... me go?"

With tears in her eyes, Elena gently brushed the bandaged back of her head with her hands. "What's the difference if I agree or not? Just like when I was on Hefang Island, you will always go eventually. You have such a temper, and I can't stop you."

"I just want you to promise me one thing, and that is to come back alive." Tears rolled down Yi Lianna's face.

"I promise you... Mother."

Three days later, in the Governor's Mansion of Hope Island, "What are you going to do?" Anna stopped in front of Charles with a trace of uneasiness on her face.

"Go to the surface and get the darkness back. When I'm away, please help me watch Hope Island."

Charles took off his pajamas, revealing a strong body full of scars.

Putting on a dark blue long sleeve, he put the old captain's uniform on himself again.

After so many years of mending and mending this dress, he still couldn't change it anymore, and he was completely used to it.

"Why do you want to go? There are so many explorers, are you missing one? Is there any consciousness of a superior in your mind?"

Charles turned to look at her. "Anna, time is running out. You have also read the navy's report. According to the current speed, it will only take three years for the sea to completely submerge all the islands."

"Don't forget my identity, my identity can be of great use in the surface platoon."

"What shit is your identity, you are a selfish scumbag!" Anna became more and more irritable, her skin cracked and healed from time to time, revealing the wriggling tentacles underneath.

Charles held Anna's head and kissed her heavily on the forehead. "The identity you mentioned counts as one, but another. I am the chosen one of Yidiq. I don't know if this thing will bless me, but so far, I haven't died yet."

"The God of Light is dead, so what's the use of Yidi Ke's God's Choice?"

"Remember Pope Ledger? Why is the God of Light dead, but he is still alive? This identity may be of great use on the surface."

"There are only three years, we can't afford to lose, Earthsea is our home now, for you, Shining and all the humans in Earthsea, I must go to the surface."

Before Anna could speak any more, Charles jumped out of the balcony and ran quickly on the built-up shed.

When he came to the pier, he saw all the crew members standing in their own places on the brand new Narwhal.

Charles looked over their faces slowly, First Mate Bandage, Sailor Norden, Second Officer Orderick, Boatswain Dipper, Cook Planck, Ship Doctor Linda, everyone came, even the Second Mate Krona also came.

Charles didn't strongly order them to return before, but just invited them, and it was up to them whether to come or not, because going to the surface to explore was a very dangerous thing.

"Captain...you are late..." Bandage said to Charles.

Charles smiled, his smiling face was very bright, raised his right fist and hit him hard on the shoulder. "The Narwhal... sets sail!!"
