Mysteries of the Earthsea

Chapter 79 Cooperation

Slowly, the ecstatic Kede's face became ferocious, and he turned around to stare closely at Char's face.

"Captain Charles, thank you for handing over the chart so readily..."

The believers of the Illuminati religion standing in the corridor at the door walked into the room expressionlessly, staring at Charles intently.

Facing the threat from the other party, Charles didn't care at all, he looked at him indifferently.

"What? Are you going to eat the remaining thirty-three islands by yourself?"

"As long as I have a chart, I can cooperate with other captains! I must be the first to discover the Land of Light." After Ke De finished speaking, the believers of the God of Light took out various guns hidden under their robes.

Charles' left hand suddenly moved by itself, reaching for the lightning scepter inside the coat.

"Don't move, he's just bluffing." Charles suppressed the movements of his other personality.

Charles looked at Ke De and said again: "Is this because I am afraid that I will first discover the Land of Light and then abduct your God of Light? Don't be so narrow-minded. On this point, our goals are the same."

Charles stretched out his right hand and looked calmly at the old man in front of him.

Ke De rushed over, frantically grabbed Charles' collar with his hands, and the veins on his neck bulged.

"Cooperation? Why should I cooperate with you? In order to complete your mission, I have mobilized all the power I can get my hands on! If the archbishop finds out that I am doing this kind of thing, I will definitely be pulled back to the Holy Light Cathedral for trial !"

"Are you afraid?"

Ke De's face changed instantly, and there was a trace of panic in his eyes.

The corner of Charles' mouth rose, and he suddenly changed the subject. "At this time, don't you need an experienced exploration ship captain? In fact, we don't have any conflicts, right? If you cheat me, I cheat you, so it's just even."

The wrinkles on Ke De's face trembled, he let go of his hand fiercely, and turned his gaze back to the chart on the diary.

"I currently have three exploration ships in my hand, plus one of yours, a total of four. Four ships explore an island every two months, and the ladder to the Land of Light will be found within two years at the earliest!"

Seeing the muzzle of the believer of the God of Light slowly lowered, Charles walked to the other side of the table and sat down.

"No, it's not as simple as you think. Exploring unknown islands is extremely dangerous. Can you ensure that your three exploration ships can survive to the end? Besides us, the king of Sodom also knows that place."

"If you can't do it, you have to do it!! I've given up everything! I must die in the Land of Light, and only by dying in the Land of Light can I enter the Divine Kingdom of the God of Light!!"

Hearing this, Charles inexplicably felt a little pitiful, this guy is completely crazy.

"Is there no one else in your teaching? Maybe you can ask them to help." Charles asked Kede to find foreign aid.

"Didn't you hear me? If they knew what I was doing, I'd be dead! And the cathedral's old diehards don't believe what you're saying!"

Charles sighed, leaned forward, and tapped his fingers on the chart.

"Anyway, let's start exploring first, and tell me the goals of your three ships, before they collide together."

Ke De took out the quill pen inserted into the ink bottle next to it, and drew a circle on the three islands. "We will gather here in two months to exchange information with each other."

After speaking, he turned around and walked directly towards the door.

"Haha, it seems that the second fool with a brain is having a hard time." Richard complained in Charles's mind.

"Don't worry about him, the more pious this kind of cultist is, the better it is to use." Charles compared the chart and drew a circle on an island on the chart. "The next target is here."

With the help of Lily Mouse, the crew arrived soon, and the Narwhal, which had been under maintenance for three months, went into the water again.

If there is anything different about this voyage this time, it is that James' wife Moxica came to see her husband off in person, and was found out about her true identity, and James no longer hid anything.

Seeing them reluctantly on the pier, a group of bachelors on the boat were very jealous.

The doctor limped up to Charles and took out another piece of gel, "I'll see how it works during this period of time."

Frowning, Charles raised his head and swallowed. The tinnitus sounded again, but it was much better than before. At least the doctor was barely human in front of him, and he was not completely deformed into a monster.

Three minutes later, the abnormality disappeared again. This time the doctor nodded in satisfaction, and kept recording something in a small notebook. "No matter what you have been doing during this time, keep it up, it is very useful in removing your mental pollution, as long as you keep it up, even if there is a curse from the gods, I can guarantee that you will live to be 30 years old."

Charles directly ignored the curse-like assurance from the old man's mouth. "How is your black mirror repaired? It's best not to use electricity directly, it's very delicate."

The doctor said without raising his head: "That thing is mine now, I have my own way, and you don't need to worry about it."

"If you open it, remember to notify me." Charles was also curious about the contents of the tablet.

The doctor didn't respond, turned and left.

Life at sea was as boring as usual, nothing unusual.

"Crack." Charles opened the door of the cockpit, and the second officer, Kenona, was at the helm at this time.

"Captain, don't worry, this is still on a safe route, what can happen."

"Don't take it lightly, safety routes sometimes go wrong." Charles looked towards the fuzzy beacon in the distance. Fortunately, this time the beacon was normal. As the Narwhal moved, it approached here at a constant speed.

"Captain, do you know the volcanic island in the South China Sea? I was born there." Kenona chatted with the captain.

"Oh." Charles casually perfunctory while checking the map on the wall, the mouths of the two officers are really a bit broken.

"Do you know the specialties there? In addition to the iron ore and copper mines on the volcanic island, the whale oil of the Levi's Whale is the most famous. In addition to making lubricating oil, candles and soap, the remaining residues can be used To be used as fuel, like the fuel we use in the turbine cabin now, maybe it came from my hometown."

On this point, Charles still understands a little bit. In the early days of the industrial revolution on the earth, the whale oil of the sperm whales in the Pacific Ocean was a very important industrial material before oil was developed.

"Then why did you come to the North Sea? Coral Island is half a year away from the volcanic island by boat."

Kenona felt a little helpless on his face, "Actually, my father was the captain of a whaling ship, and he wanted me to inherit his ship. But I don't want to. Levy whales are at least 100 meters long, and ships are destroyed every year. The whale capsized and was buried in the belly of the fish."

"So you came out out of fear of danger? To be honest, it's not a good choice for you to come on my boat."

Kenona shook his head. "I am not afraid of danger, but I am afraid of my children doing these dangerous jobs. I want to change."

Kenona's voice continued with longing: "Captain, do you know that when I was 10 years old, my father took me to the center of the island to celebrate my birthday, and that time completely changed my mind. I found that there are some people in the heart of the island who are really happy. Each of them has their own land, and they don’t have to do anything. When he landed on the island, he was a sailor on the governor's ship."

"Don't worry, one day, you will have your own land."

"At that time, I'll take over everyone in the family and make them all islanders." Kenona seemed to think of something, and a trace of pain flashed in his eyes.
