Chapter 599: New Crew

"You know? I really don't hate them, I just don't understand, I can give them whatever they need, why do they betray me, why do you say? Did I give them too much? "

"Cough." Charles cleared his throat. "Nico, I'd love to discuss your private affairs, but not now. Can you tell me about other details of this relic? Is there any way to avoid its side effects?"

Charles wondered if he could avoid the side effects if he fused it into his body.

Nico shook his head slightly. He looked at Charles, biting the tail of the silver spoon lightly with his white teeth. "I don't know, this relic belongs to my first mate, but he died."

After thinking for a moment, Charles nodded, "Very well, I want this relic, but I don't understand why you want to board my boat."

He is still worried about the ability of this relic, but this does not prevent him from owning it first, maybe it will be useful later.

"Because my boat is gone, everyone is dead, Charles, you know? I have nothing now, I'm so lonely, I really want someone to give me a warm hug."

The scar on Charles' face trembled slightly. "Tell me about your ability. I do have a second officer missing on my current ship, but I need an assessment."

"Hey~ Look at you. Back then, you were just a little captain living in a down-and-out hotel in the port area. I still remember what you were like back then, but now, you are already the famous overlord of the North Sea."

"Look at me again. I have changed from a governor who wants to have everything to an unknown person who is dead and no one knows. Why is life always so volatile." Nico continued to complain with resentment in his voice.

If it weren't for the other party's relics, Charles really didn't want to communicate with him. Every time he talked with him, the topic was always inexplicably taken away. There was no point at all, which made people want to get angry.

"Nico, stop talking nonsense, do you want to get on the boat or not! If you always have this attitude, then there is no need to talk between us!!"

Hearing Charles's words became a little more serious, Nico knew that the other party was serious, so he immediately put down the coffee and began to report quickly.

"Nico Sepro, age 49, level 8 physical strength, level 9 after adding relics, has more than ten years of sailing experience and exploration experience, and three surface exploration experience."

Charles looked at his face carefully, then turned and walked out the door. "I need to discuss it with other people. You will wait for me at the gate of the fortress tomorrow."

In the early morning of the next day, the Narwhal set sail. Under the watchful eyes of other crew members, a smiling Nico climbed up the deck along the ladder and greeted them.

On the hard ground on one side, Anna, wearing a big sun hat, put her arms around Charles' neck and nibbled on his ear.

"This sissy is fine, everything is normal, he is not a spy of the Fortan Sect."

"Why is Nico on my boat? What is his purpose?"

"He got on the boat because he didn't want to die either, and he didn't want his baby to die."

Hearing this, Charles opened his eyes slightly, looking at Nico on the deck. "He has children? With his husband?"

Anna turned her face away slightly, and then gave Charles a blank look. "Can a man give birth? Show me one, of course you gave birth to a woman, don't look at him now, he used to be—"

Before waiting for Anna to finish speaking, Charles pushed her away and walked towards the ladder. "I don't have time to gossip. I don't need to tell me such insignificant things in the future."

"Scumbag, be careful, don't die."

Hearing the voice behind him, Charles smiled knowingly, and seven or eight tentacles slammed on the ground, like a cannonball bouncing towards the ship.

Charles was not the only one who set sail. Many explorers started to set off one after another. All their targets were the dark coordinates marked by Charles. —————————————————

In Hope Island's spare parts factory, Dongna picked up a stack of bronze steel wires and walked towards the huge machinery with constant roars.

She put the accessories next to a girl with a fat face, and the fat girl rhythmically picked up the accessories one by one and placed them on the rapidly rotating rubber conveyor belt in front of her.

Under the huge punch press, these simple accessories quickly become practical parts, which are continuously sent to other finished product factories.

When they saw the female workers who were changing shifts walk into the workshop, other people in the workshop breathed a sigh of relief, and the time for changing shifts finally came.

Away from the noisy workshop, the female workers complained about the poor working environment while changing out of their whale oil-stained uniforms.

"Hey, now I have to work 11 hours a day, and I only have three days off in a month. I really don't know when this kind of days will come to an end."

"Look, my hands are covered with calluses. Why should we women do this kind of work? Are all the men dead?"

"The men have all gone to the dock to build ships. There are no men in the factory. I heard that the governor is exploring the surface on it, and it is a waste of time."

"Ah!! I'm so bored, I want to rest~! I want to go shopping, I want to go to the video hall to watch TV with my boyfriend!!"

"Why didn't you let me resign, why did you let me into the factory, it's really dirty."

Listening to their complaints, Donna stopped wiping the motor oil on her face with a towel. With a hint of a smile, he said: "Actually, this is very good. The governor even specially paid part of the overtime pay, and there is also a free lunch at noon."

The complaints stopped, and the female workers first glanced at her in unison, and then laughed at each other in a low voice.

The smile on Donna's face gradually disappeared, she knew what these people were talking about, it was nothing more than saying that she was a country bumpkin from an outer island, an old woman in her thirties who looked like she was in her fifties.

As an outsider, having a house of her own doesn't mean she has everything. If she can't integrate into Hope Island, adults always have so many thoughts, especially a group of women who get together.

On the contrary, her daughter has made many good friends at school, and the child's mind should be more pure.

"Donna, ignore them, let's go home together, your daughter should be waiting for you at home."

As soon as she heard the freckled fat girl's words, Dongna immediately accelerated the speed of her hands. That's right, her daughter Nini is off work now.

When the two came out of the smoky factory, the fat girl stretched vigorously. "Ah, I'm finally off work, and I can go home and have a good meal."

Dong Na smiled and looked at her broad back, she didn't have no friends here, the girl Jasmine in front of her was her good friend.

Although the two are of different ages and have different personalities, they have become good friends who talk about everything. Maybe it's because they both look ugly, one is old and the other is fat.

Just as the two were walking towards their residence, a group of policemen in black uniforms ran past in a panic, startling the two of them.

"What's going on here? Are you catching spies from the Fortan Sect again?" Jasmine said in surprise, clutching her double chin.

As soon as the words fell, a cloud of red mist burst out in the distant sky. This color moved the two of them a little uneasy, and they knew what it meant.
