Chapter 696 James

"Have a nightmare.?" asked the bandage sitting next to Charles.

Charles shook his head and walked past the crew to the bathroom between the two cars.

He turned on the faucet and kept washing his haggard face with icy cold water. The cold water stimulation quickly released him from the effects of the nightmare.

Charles looked up at himself in the mirror, "No, trust Anna, she's not that kind of person. Winky is our daughter. She wouldn't do that."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "ding dong~!", and a pleasant female voice came from the speaker next to it, "Everyone, this train is about to arrive at the terminal, Jukeng Fortress, and it is 57 minutes late. Please take your luggage. Line up and wait to get off.”

Charles stretched out his hand to open the car window, and saw a small city in the distance appearing in front of him. He hasn't been back for a long time, and the changes here are much greater than he imagined.

When he got off the train, he saw James, the former first mate, leading a group of people to greet him respectfully, "Captain!"

Seeing Charles again, James seemed very excited, but when he walked to the side, Charles opened his arms and gave him a firm hug.

"For the Pope of the Illuminati Sect, the Naval Staff Department has already selected several plans. Several teams of relics have arrived on the surface. Governor Julio has also withdrawn from the front line and is on his way with the strongest members of Earthsea."

"Thank you, I will leave this place to you and Leonardo. With you here, I feel much more at ease."

Charles let go of James and looked at the former chief engineer. It could be seen that James was under a lot of pressure. His hairline had moved back a lot, and his belly had grown bigger.

"Don't worry, I'm here for everything! This is also to save Dihai! By the way, Captain, what are you doing this time?"

James was a little surprised at the arrival of the other party. With his captain's character, unless he died or found the darkness, he would not be able to come back.

"It's nothing, just a little thing. When will the fastest airship to the Earth Sea depart? I need to go down now." Charles didn't want to say too much.

"Let's go right ahead!" James pointed to the giant airship on the platform not far away. Looking at its big belly, it seemed that it had been specially modified to hold things.

Charles nodded and strode over.

"Hey! Big man! Long time no see! You are not tall now, why do you only have a belly!!" Dipper, who was grinning, walked up to James and punched him in the stomach.

Dipper was about to leave but was stopped by James, "Don't worry, let me ask you, why did the captain come back this time?"

"Anna." Bandage came over and said a word to him.

Hearing this sentence, James showed a hint of understanding on his face, and then he was overjoyed. Did the captain finally suspect his monster wife?

He strode toward the airship with the rest of the explorer crew. "Wait, I'll go down together too, there are other people in charge, it's okay if I'm absent for a day or two."

When all the crew members of the Narwhal boarded the airship, after three piercing whistles, it slowly floated up and fell towards the huge black pit.

The interior of this large airship is very spacious, and even the crew's words echoed.

On the wine table surrounded by clouds and mountains, James, with a cigarette in his mouth, enthusiastically talked with the crew members. Everyone was very happy to see his old friends again alive.

Everyone recalled the past, and every time they talked about each other's embarrassing things, they would laugh at each other.

At the same time, James also met some new crew members.

"Who is this?" James looked at Grace, who was reading a book silently beside her. She wore a black eye patch over her right eye that looked like a pirate and a veil on her face, which made him curious from the beginning.

Grace thought for a while, and seemed to feel that such an answer was impolite, so she reached out and took off the gauze from her face.

The right half is the girl's delicate fair skin, but the other half is like a piece of broken glass that has been smashed and spliced ​​together again, which looks extraordinarily scary. "Hi, my name is Grace."

James looked at the girl in front of him in surprise. If it wasn't for the wrong age and gender, he would have thought that the old ship doctor had been resurrected. The strange wound on her face was so similar to the old ship doctor.

Linda walked up to her and hugged her into her arms, "She is also our companion, but she has completed her own mission and is now retired."

At this time, after Orderic came to him and whispered something in his ear, James showed a clear expression on his face. "Oh~"

"Since we are companions, we will be a family from now on. Don't worry, when the sea recedes, there will be no less land for compensation. I hope you have a share on the island."

Grace seemed somewhat restrained by the enthusiastic stranger, a forced smile on her divided face.

At this moment, James looked at Charles, who was sitting on a tin box, and after thinking about it, he lifted his foot and walked over.

Linda didn't care about James' departure, she whispered to Grace: "It's okay, a little scar is nothing, you are now qualified to pick others, others are not qualified to pick you, this is your life in exchange for this is your Deserved."

Nico, who was tasting wine next to him, frowned slightly when he heard this. He obviously didn't agree with the other party's words.

Grace shook her head, and she touched her abdomen with some concern, "I don't care about the scars, but is the hole in my stomach always like this?"

Now when she goes to the toilet, she needs to use a hole in her stomach to excrete, and she has to plug it up with a stopper after using it, which is very inconvenient and awkward.

"Don't worry, it's just damage to your bowels, I'll change them back when they heal."

"Apart from your physical weakness, you are still the same you in the past."

"Yeah!" Grace nodded, and raised her head again with some hesitation, "Linda, I really am."

"Hush! There is nothing real! You have paid enough!" Linda's attitude was firm.

While they were talking, James, who was holding two glasses of wine, came to Charles and passed the glass over, "Captain, this wine is strong enough, you must like it."

Immediately afterwards, he kicked the iron box under Charles' feet, "What's in it? Why are you guarding it like this?"

Charles reached out to take it and took a sip, "Say something."

Seeing James board the boat, he knew that the other party must have something to do, otherwise the surface is so tense now, he would not be able to follow.

James raised his glass and sipped on Charles' glass, "Captain, there are some things that I don't want to tell you because of the current situation, but since you finally came back, let me tell you."
