Chapter 808 Return
Seeing Grace, who looked a little sad, Mark quickly comforted him in a gentle tone: "Please forgive me, may your parents' knowledge be included by the all-seeing eye."
At this moment, the ring on the little finger of Mark's right hand suddenly shone red, but it went out in the next second.
Winky moved closer to Charles, put his mouth to his ear and said, "He's lying, he sent his lizard men to do it."
Charles looked at Mark, who was still comforting Grace softly, and felt very ridiculous for a while.
Glancing at Grace next to him, Charles decided that he would help with this matter. Since she was his crew member, as the captain, of course he had to stand up for her.
When I was in the center of the earth, I really owed Grace a debt of gratitude.
"Governor Mark, can I ask you some questions?" Charles said suddenly.
"When I first came here, I was attacked by some monsters. They have green scales on their faces, tails behind them, and tongues with forks. How much do you know about them?"
Mark, who looked very shocked, quickly replied: "Oh!? Have you been attacked by them too? These bastards really want to die, and dare to provoke Governor Charles! I believe their end must be miserable."
Charles looked at him calmly, "You haven't answered my question directly, what are they?"
"Lizardmen! They are a group of lizardmen!"
Mark leaned in front of Charles and explained with a solemn expression: "These monsters can disguise themselves as humans and hide on the various islands. They kill humans in secret, and use their transformation ability to replace them silently. "
"Governor Charles, you don't know much because you are in the North Sea. These beasts are a big hazard in the West Sea. Many people die because of them every year, and even the entire island is occupied by them!"
"That's it." Charles turned his head and glanced at Grace who was in grief. He said slowly: "Then can you tell me why these monsters obey your command? And why did you order them to kill my crew's parents?"
Hearing this, the hearts of Mark and Grace trembled slightly. Mark was the first to react, and he quickly shook his head and firmly denied it.
"Governor Charles, how is this possible, how could I command them! They are monsters!!"
"Hehe, is that so?" Charles' muscles all over his body instantly exerted strength, and he rushed out like a cheetah. Mark was about to retreat, but was tightly entangled by the transparent tentacles protruding from the ground.
The black spikes pierced Mark's cheek in an instant, Charles' nails penetrated into the wound and flicked hard, the green scales below appeared in front of Charles, Mark is also a lizard man!
Tentacles continued to protrude from the ground, entangled Mark tightly.
But as soon as Charles finished making a move, he was also surrounded by people. A group of mages in robes formed a circle, looking sternly at his staffs of different sizes.
There are still people rushing in from outside. The assassination of the governor is not a trivial matter.
"Governor Charles, please release Mark. Whether he is a lizardman or something, this is a private matter of our West Sea." An old man with a gray beard said first.
Looking at the old man, Grace shouted in shock: "Mentor!"
Looking at the somewhat chaotic environment in front of him, Charles raised one hand, and a black thorn pierced through the center of the mechanical arm in an instant, hovering one centimeter above Mark's lizard eyes. "Tell me, what happened to Grace's parents?"
Seeing that Charles didn't look directly at him at all, the faces of the mages around suddenly showed anger, and they felt the insult they had received.
However, in front of them was Charles from Hope Island, no matter how humiliating they were, they did not dare to take action easily.
If Charles had any accidents on this island, the navy of Hope Island might flatten the entire island directly.
Seeing that those mages couldn't save him, Mark answered Charles' question without any hesitation.
"Avery asked us to do it back then! Because Grace's parents are also from another pure-blood family! So he paid us to live on the island and let us attack them!"
"Who is Avery?" Charles looked at the other mages around him.
"It's him! The old man who just spoke to you, the entire Lighthouse Island belongs to his mage family! I'm just an agent!!"
Hearing this, Grace looked at the mentor in the distance and stepped back half a step in disbelief, "Teacher, is what he said true? Did you really kill my parents?"
"Of course not! Didn't you see that this guy has been replaced by a lizard man! Grace helped me persuade Governor Charles to hand him over to me, and we might be able to find out the real Mark's location from him!"
At this time, Shining, who thought it was too lively and not big enough, suddenly stood up.
"Not necessarily, because of my mother's inheritance, I can now read other people's memories. You are actually complaining about Grace in your heart now, complaining about why this woman came back alive after she was sent to die."
Tears slid down the folded scars on Grace's face, her hands were clenched into fists and trembling slightly, her expression of extreme pain looked like howling, but she didn't make a sound.
The mentor who once taught me magic turned out to be my father-killing enemy!
Avery didn't explain anything to Grace. He knew that the current breaking point was not with this apprentice at all. The old man looked at Charles with a serious expression.
"Governor Charles, this is a private matter between me and my apprentice, why don't you leave first? I will definitely give you a satisfactory promise."
"Forget it, I'm afraid of trouble."
Charles' heart moved slightly, and seven tentacles with electric arcs rose from the ground like a flower, trying to wrap Avery.
The old man obviously sensed something abnormal. With a light wave of his staff, an obscure incantation sounded, and his body gradually became transparent.
With another wave of his wand, he already floated up to get rid of Charles' tentacles on the ground.
A special incantation sounded from his mouth, but halfway through the chanting, a tentacle protruding from his face went straight into the depths of his throat.
"Ka Ka Ka ~" Accompanied by the sound of metal friction, the spear turned from Charles' prosthetic limb shot into the old man's chest.
"Puff!" A red flower blooms in the sky
With the contraction of the chains, Avery's body was thrown in front of Grace, and then Charles walked to Mark's side, lightly touched his neck, and a green head rolled down.
Looking at the two corpses in front of him, there was no sound in the hall, and other people who gradually gathered around looked at Charles with anger in their eyes.
"You want to fight with me?" Charles said lightly, but no one dared to answer.
No matter the opponent's strength or influence, they cannot offend them. The opponent is the hero who saved Earth Sea and the overlord of the entire North Sea.
"You're welcome." Charles said this to Grace who was stunned there, then turned to look at Winky. "Let's go, let's go back when we've had enough fun."
The surrounding environment changed rapidly, and after just two seconds, they had returned to Hope Island again.
Winky came to Charles with her hands behind her back, looking at him with interest. "You see, absolute strength is still very useful. If we were not strong enough just now, it would not be so easy."
Charles didn't expect his daughter to say this to him suddenly, he nodded in agreement after thinking for a few seconds.
"You are right. Absolute strength can indeed solve many problems, but it is not the same as what your mother wants."
