Chapter 560: The God of the Hek Clan

Charles stood on the deck of the Narwhal, looking at the increasingly prosperous Giant Pit Fortress in the distance.

Compared to just a fortress before, it is now considered a small city.

A steady stream of floating airships, like an elevator that never stops day and night, sent up the collected materials in turn, and all the materials were provided by the islands in the Earth Sea.

Between the cars coming in and out of the door, and the sporadic amphibious ships shuttling, as the number of factories increased, the equipment of the explorers was constantly being upgraded.

There are some tall bodies among them. They are Heke people who don't ride in cars, and drive a carriage that suits their physique.

In order to survive, the Dihai people are using all their strength.

"Captain, I need to go back to Hope Island and get two prosthetics installed." Dipper, who was on crutches under his arm, moved to Charles and said.

"No, the Explorers' Association will take care of all this. They should have considered the issue of the explorers' severed limbs, and have already called those companies over."

Hearing this, Di Pu breathed a sigh of relief, "That's great, I'm really afraid of going back in such a miserable way, my wife is worried about me."

Charles looked down and saw Dipper's empty pant legs down from the calf joints, one of his legs was left forever in site4.

"Thank you." Charles patted him on the shoulder.

"It's okay, it's just that I lost two legs. If you didn't save me at that time, I was afraid that I would really die. Compared with those who died, I am very lucky. By the way, Captain, how is your injury?" gone?"

Charles stretched out his fingers and pressed his bandaged face. The hard touch indicated that the scab had scabbed over, but the skin didn't seem to return. He could already imagine his terrifying face after the bandage was removed. look.

"I'm not sure, but my ability to reply is pretty good. There should be nothing wrong. If I can't reply, it's fine. It's just ugly. I'm not a woman, so it doesn't matter."

Dipper smiled, but gradually the smile on his face faded. "Captain, tell me... can we really save Earthsea? If the guy who killed the God of Light took away the darkness, is it really possible for us to snatch it back from it?"

His confidence seemed a little shaken.

"Yes!" Charles replied emphatically. "We have no choice, either go back and wait for death, or risk our lives to fight, we can only choose the second!"

Hearing what Charles said, Dipper nodded vigorously. Confidence appeared on his face again. "Um!"

The noise in the distance gradually became louder, and they were already approaching the gate of the Great Pit Fortress.

After thinking for a while, Charles looked again at the young man beside him who had been with him for more than ten years.

"Di Pu, I have already told the first officer and the second officer. After thinking about it, I think it is necessary to tell you that if I die, you will continue to explore no matter how desperate the situation is."

"Captain, what are you talking about? How could you possibly die? You see, you haven't died for more than ten years, why?"

"Don't interrupt, what I said is true, I am also an ordinary person, and the identity of Yidi Ke's chosen one has left with my shadow."

"If I really died looking for the dark road, maybe this ending is really better than my dying of old age on Hope Island." Charles said with a calmness towards death.

With a serious expression, Dipper walked to Charles' side on crutches, and nodded vigorously. "Okay, I promise you."

As the Narwhal drove into the gate of the Great Pit Fortress, the crew was notified to get a five-day rest.

Although there is no special whispering sound in the deep sea here, but the string in my head is easy to break if it is stretched for too long.

Fortunately, various places to relax in the Giant Pit Fortress have been opened, and they can release their stress to their heart's content.

But this did not include Charles. After jumping off the deck, he immediately walked towards the Explorers' Association, which was being renovated. He wanted to see if other explorers had found any dark clues.

As soon as he walked into the explorer's hall, the huge map was presented in front of him, but the direction of the explorers' exploration was not quite right.

However, according to the plan he made, it should be a range of exploration around the God of Light, which is more efficient.

But now the map shows that all explorers began to explore due west in large numbers.

Just when he asked this question to the person in charge of the Explorers Association, he got an unexpected answer.

"Governor Charles, you can ask the big men stationed at the Great Pit Fortress. It is their gods who asked us to do this."

"Simien? The god of the Hek clan??" Charles immediately remembered the warning Anna had given him before leaving

The other party was meddling in his layout in the giant pit fortress, and Charles noticed this vigilantly. This might be a temptation. If he didn't take action, the other party would immediately gain ground.

Thinking of this, Charles quickly rushed out of the Explorers Association.

The stronghold of the Haike tribe is very easy to find, especially their height of more than three meters is particularly conspicuous. They occupy a corner of the giant pit fortress and build their own whale skin tents.

As soon as Charles approached their stronghold, he was immediately stopped by a Hiker with a huge sword in his waist. He was taller than the average Hiker, almost four meters tall.

"Our god has been waiting for you for a long time, please come with me."

Stepping on the trembling ground, Charles followed him towards the tent.

In the middle of the many simple tents, there is a magnificent dome temple, and Charles is surprised how they built it in such a short time.

"Which god are you here?" Charles asked.

The sword-wielding giant continued walking forward without looking back, and said in a cold tone, "I don't know, you can ask yourself."

The giant strided so far that Charles could only keep up with a trot, and within a few minutes they came to the strange temple.

Seeing the action of the giant next to him drawing his sword and sticking to the ground, Charles raised his feet and walked inside.

It was unexpectedly bright inside, with whale oil candles as thick as arms everywhere.

The moment Charles walked into the room, he felt the gaze from the wall.

A few monsters with limbs and glistening skin were lying on the wall like geckos. A trumpet-shaped sucker, a lizard-like body, limbs bent stiffly at the elbows, that is an angel.

Feeling the hostility in their eyes, Charles couldn't help raising his vigilance.

At this moment, a man in a colored cloth came over. "Mr. Charles, the wise Poguero is already waiting for you, please ignore them, they look like this to everyone."

"Really? I've seen them before, and they didn't have that attitude back then."

Charles left the envoy on the wall, and followed the Hiker into the depths of the temple.

The tall walls are very neat, that is, there are no reliefs of gods, no inscriptions and murals, and the neatness is a bit unlike a place of faith.

"Crack~" The heavy wooden door opened, and a group of creatures suspended in the air appeared in front of Charles.
