Chapter 285: The Old Man Who Changed
Five days later, Charles was sitting in his office and heard the guard report in front of him,
"Your Excellency the Governor, according to the Navy's Intelligence Department, there is no way to convert a deep diver back into a human for the time being. β
"All the records show that they were deep divers, not deep divers. There may be people who want to go from being a human to a deep diver, but there's really no way to turn a deep diver into a human. β
Deep's heartless smile flashed through Charles's mind, and he exhaled slowly. "Is there really no way to turn that kid back?"
"Keep looking for me, there is no way in the North Sea, just go to the South Sea and the West Sea to find it, this world is so illogical, there must be a way. β
"Yes, Lord Governor!" the guard quickly stood and saluted.
The guards left, and Charles stood up and walked to the sunny balcony next to him.
At this time, the island has changed a lot, and it can be said that except for those fruit fields, the rest of Hope Island is covered by sheds of various heights.
The central one was so dark that it had to make a few holes in the awning to get light.
On the roofs of several sloping rays of sunlight, there are like small golden waterfalls.
Not far from the balcony, some half-sized children gathered around a pillar of light, laughing and touching each other's fingers, as if they were competing to see who was the bravest.
When the two prosecutors whistled and rushed up, the men burst into laughter.
"The island is getting more and more beautiful, so let's have a good rest today. β
Charles stepped on the walls of the Governor's Palace and walked slowly down, returning after walking two steps, and carrying a drawing board that had not been used for a long time on his back.
On the streets, everyone's faces were full of confidence, as if they hoped that the island had really given them hope.
Looking at their smiling faces, Charles, who was alone, looked a little lonely in his back.
"Maybe we will have dinner at the Governor's Palace tonight. Charles thought about it and finally chose to give up.
A crew is a crew, a subordinate is a subordinate, and he has no real friends.
On the ship, everyone listened to him because of his position, and everyone had their own families when they got off the boat.
The bandage may be one, but talking to him can kill the day.
As for Lily, she is at most a bear child.
In this earthly sea, only Anna can truly understand herself. But she is not a peaceful woman, and she is busy with her own affairs all the time.
As for Elizabeth, Charles's relationship with her is complicated, and he doesn't know if she is his own woman or her man.
As Charles walked towards the dock with his sketchpad, the familiar smell of milk wafted into his nose.
Charles followed the scent and saw that it was a small stall of milk oysters.
"How much does it cost??" Charles asked.
"30 copies, Mr. Painter, do you want some?" the stall owner tapped the shovel in his hand and looked at Charles with a smile.
"It's so expensive? Coral Island is not the price. β
"How can you compare with them, Coral Island has its own cattle ranch, and besides, Hope Island is much easier to find a job than Coral Island, and 30 echoes is really not expensive. β
"Let's have one. β
"Okay. He used a shovel to cut open a bag of sealed milk and began to stir-fry it expertly.
Looking at the boss sweating in front of him, Charles always felt that he overlapped with someone in his mind.
"Mr. Painter, this is your milk oyster, please catch it, and if you feel that it tastes good, you are welcome to come back next time. β
Watching the painter in front of him walk into the crowd with food, Tom smiled and turned on the water to clean the iron plate.
But in the next second, he suddenly remembered something, and quickly poked his head out of the stall, and looked in the direction of the guest just now.
"There is a scar on the face, black eyes, and a prosthetic leg on the left hand, my goddess, this person must be a Governor, right?
Charles took the milk oyster and turned it around and walked towards the telegraph office.
He wasn't busy eating, and the stall owner reminded him that he was the governor and that it was time to bring an old friend over.
Charles sent a telegram of the highest rank to Old John's address, which was not only the fastest, but also specially delivered.
"Di ~ Di Di ~ Di ~" The other party quickly responded.
"I'm sorry, but who are you father?" Aurorapha, son of John?"
Father?Charles frowned slightly, why hadn't he heard that Old John had a son?
"My mother fled from Shadow Island, and he bought my mother from the brothel owner for a piece of gold, and I became his son. β
"My name is Charles, and if you tell Old John his name, he'll know. β
"I'm sorry, my father is dead, and the doctor said it was because he drank too much. Who are you?"
Looking at the translated telegram in front of him, Charles blinked, silently picked up the drawing board on the ground and walked towards the outside of the telegraph office.
He went to the dock and set up the drawing board and drew quickly. Soon a fat old man laughing appeared on the drawing paper. It was John Sr., the first mate of the former Mouse.
Charles picked up the painting and looked at it, and stooped down to send old John into the sea.
If you want to say who has just come to this world, who has helped you the most, then this warm-hearted old man is one.
When he couldn't speak the language of the earth and sea, he accompanied him to read word by word, and he should have repaid himself when he became the governor, but he died.
"Maybe that's not bad, if he can live to this age on Earthsea, and have children and a wife before he dies, old John should be content. β
Just as the melancholy Charles was remembering his old friend, he suddenly felt a sharp gaze shoot on his back from behind.
Charles put the black blade away and turned to look, it was a woman with a horrible scar on her face. The woman is a little familiar.
After watching it for a second or two, Charles suddenly realized that she was Margaret, the daughter of the former governor of Hofang Island.
"It's been a long time, but they've grown so big. Charles had a relieved smile on his face, ready to walk towards her.
Just as he was still five meters away, Margaret spoke. "Governor Charles, it was you who saved you when you were crazy. β
"I know, I was about to say thank you, I've been sending people to look for you, but I can't find it. β
Thanks?βMargaret gave a vague sneering smile, but immediately withdrew it.
"Lord Governor, now I want to exchange your favor for a few ships and some navies. Margaret's voice was a little cold.
"I already know about you, but you don't have toβ"
"Governor Charles, isn't your life worth even this little thing?" Margaret forcefully interrupted Charles.
