Chapter Eighty-Nine: Prosthetics

"Don't worry, I'm not going to persuade you to give up like your parents did, can you tell me the story of that guy named Charles?

Margaret didn't want to say it, but she held it for a long time and finally couldn't hold back, and when she opened the conversation, she couldn't hold it anymore and told everything she knew about Charles.

The girl's face was full of joy, sometimes sad, not noticing the coldness in Anna's black pupils next to her.

After a long time, Margaret slowly stopped, she smiled and looked at Anna next to her and said, "Sister Anna, thank you for listening, I feel much better for telling you so much, by the way, your disappeared husband hasn't been found yet?"

Anna tilted to the side with a sad face, "He hasn't come back for so long, I guess he can't find it, alas......"

Seeing Anna's sad appearance, Margaret hurriedly held her shoulders and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I touched your sad place." ”

Anna shook her head and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, as if she was holding back the pain in her heart and said, "It's okay, I'm used to it." ”

Under the black skirt, two tentacles with black roots slowly stretched out and rolled towards the white skirt of the girl next to her.

"Sister Anna, can you tell me how it feels like for my beloved to leave me?

The tentacles under the wooden chair stopped, and Anna quietly looked at the innocent appearance of the girl in front of her.

She suddenly looked up at the darkness in front of her. "It's hard to describe...... , but I feel very uncomfortable. Are you sure you really like him, or are you just grateful that he saved you?"

Margaret, with a sad face, kept twisting the lace of her skirt with her white fingers.

"I don't know if I like Mr. Charles, I just want to see him again...... Very, very much. Sister Anna, you should understand this feeling, right?"

There was a hint of struggle in Anna's eyes.

Margaret didn't notice any of this, still thinking about herself. "As soon as I am an adult, my father will give me a large estate, and will give me other possessions, and perhaps I can give them all to Mr. Charles, so that he will not have to venture out at sea. ”

Anna listened to the girl's proposal, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly, "You can write to him first, and ask him if he agrees first, maybe he will agree, and where he will come happily." ”

Margaret's eyebrows had just been raised, and then they were immediately lowered. "No... My father would not allow me to contact Mr. Charles again. ”

"It's okay, you give me the letter, and I'll give it to him for you. Mr. Pitt has been unwell lately, and I have taken care of some of his affairs, and a group of cargo ships have recently been on their way to Coral Island. ”

Margaret's beautiful face was stunned for a moment, and then she immediately hugged her excitedly. "Sister Anna, you're so nice! I have a lot to say to Mr. Charles, and by the way, I'm going to send him a picture of me now. And there's ......"

Anna's slender arms wrapped around the girl, patting her gently on the back, the tentacles under her skirt retracted.

Charles sat on the windlass on deck, silently watching the buoy on the water in front of him slowly move back.

Although it was still pitch black in front of him, he could already feel the difference in the smell in the air, and when he saw a fly stop on the deck, he knew that Coral Island was almost there.

Suddenly, his severed arm lifted itself and moved, and Richard's voice sounded in his head. "You said that if we go back now, should we buy a carving?"

"Don't be poor, the lack of an arm has reduced our strength a lot, and we have to find a way to make up for it. ”

"What else can we do if this is broken? What if the severed hand is still in the wall, what? Let's wait for the island to surface again, and then go in and pick it up?"

"Of course not, I mean, make up for it in other ways. ”

As soon as the two of them said this, the doctor's angry scolding sounded in the cabin behind them, and it sounded as if someone was greedy for his wine.

Charles stood up and walked towards the hatch, he thought of a good solution, the doctor had exactly what he wanted.

"What? You ask me where this prosthetic leg came from? You want to put one on it too?"

Charles nodded. "I think you're pretty good at using it. ”

The doctor spread the iron hand and shook it, "It's easy to use, but it's expensive, can you afford it?"

"How much?"

"I'm 3 million alone. ”

Charles's eyes suddenly widened slightly, he didn't expect a prosthetic leg to be so expensive, you must know that he only bought the narwhal for 3.5 million when he bought it, and such a small thing is on top of a ship.

Richard was thinking about another question, "Hey~ Don't see through this old man's sloppiness, I didn't expect to have more money than us!

"3 million echoes is worth the money, this is no ordinary prosthetic, and according to those guys, they used something on the enchantment level. As he spoke, the doctor removed the outer shell of the iron hand, revealing the large and small metal gear structures underneath.

Each gear is tightly clasped to each other, and as the doctor's palm opens and closes, it clicks fast or slow.

Charles was keenly aware of the purple inscriptions that were faintly lit up when the gears were turning.

"I don't know how those guys do it, but once you have it, it's no different from a real hand except that it's unconscious, and they can add other things to it if you need to. ”

Charles was moved, if there was such a thing, then his broken arm would no longer be an influence.

"When you get back to Hong Kong, contact me. I need to install a pair if I can. ”

The doctor nodded and said to Charles, "Yes, as long as the money is in place, they are easy to talk to, they usually operate in the Western Sea, but I remember that they seem to have a point of contact on Coral Island." ”

"Try to get them to hurry, I'm in a hurry. ”

"In a hurry, how long are you going to rest this time?"

"Not necessarily, it depends on the situation on the side of Code, if they have already returned, after exchanging information with each other, then we will go to sea as soon as possible. ”

"If you want to live, stay on the shore for a long time, this time just lose an arm, you are lucky, if you are unstable, you should lose your life next time. ”

At that moment, the cheers of the sailors were suddenly heard on the deck, and Charles opened the door with the doctor and walked out.

Coral Island's lighthouse pillar of light slowly swept over the narwhal, and they returned alive once again.
