On the narwhal's unoccupied back deck, Charles drank glass after glass of spirits, and the weapon that used to dispel sorrow was now useless. After drinking, the powerlessness in his heart became heavier.

This feeling of watching his crew die in front of him again was really uncomfortable, which is why he deliberately tried not to cultivate a relationship with the new crew.

But this time it was a bandage, from the very beginning of the island to now, he has been with him for more than four years, and another old crew member has left him.

"Is there really nothing to be done?" said a drunken Charles, sitting on the deck, leaning back against the hull of the ship and looking at the darkness in front of him.

He has been thinking about this problem these days, if there was a way to figure it out earlier, but he is not a ship doctor, and he is not of any use in treating diseases and saving people.

There will be 7 days to go to Hope Island at the earliest, and then go to what god land, there is not enough time, this is a dead end at all.

As Charles continued to pour wine into his mouth, a misshapen, hollow palm crawled out of the edge of the boat next to him.

"Holy!" Charles, whose prosthetic leg turned into a hooked spear and shot out, nailed the hand directly to the edge of the boat, and threw the bottle in his hand in a fit of rage, and rushed straight at the thing.

Charles poured all his anger on the deformed monster, and a piercing scream rang out in the dark sea.

Just as the mutilated body fell limply into the sea, a voice sounded from above. "Captain, are you alright?"

It was Odrik in bat form, hanging upside down on the ropes of the tower.

Charles, who was in a bad mood, casually said a few perfunctory words and prepared to leave.

However, he had barely taken a few steps before he froze, and he turned his head to look at Aldrick. "Before, at the bottom of the sea, I asked you to take that thing, did you take it?"

"Of course I took it, right under my boat, and I wanted to give it to you for a long time, but because of the first mate, I never found the right time. ”

"Go and show me, I'll want it now. There was a hint of excitement in Charles's voice.

Soon, the content of the experiment that allowed humans to have the ability to have relics in the previous 198 mouths appeared in front of Charles.

Test name: K3378/954

Location: Laboratory 1

Experiment Leader: Dr. E5

Materials: Subject D, Item 3741, Item 751, a sharp dagger, 2 kg of sea salt, 1 black marker,

Experimental procedure: Draw Figure 9 on the ground with a black marker, and then use the sea salt to draw Figure 1 and Figure 3 respectively.

Subject D was instructed to pick up Item 751 with his right hand, crush 3741's head, filter out essentia from 3741's body, and order Subject D to cut open his abdomen with a dagger before the essentia evaporated, pinpointing the pancreas and quickly pressing the essentia on it. ”

Results: Subject D fell into a prolonged coma after the experiment, and woke up on the third day, successfully possessing 3741's extremely sensitive sense of smell, and he told Dr. E5 that 3741 was still in this room, and that she was silently watching her with her smashed head, and that after being tested by a psychiatrist, Subject D was mentally normal, and did not suffer from visual hallucinations. ”

Experimental evaluation: "Although there are some flaws, but after so many experiments, this is the closest to success, I can't guarantee that this success will be replicated next time, although the essentia filtered out in the project seems to be the same substance, but I feel that each essentia is different, maybe they have a specific format for each experiment, in order to be successful." ”

"I feel like we're like medieval alchemy, synthesizing things by luck based on our own imaginations. ”

"But since there is a success, give me another 20 years at most, and I will definitely be able to crack the true mystery of essentia, just as Mendeleev summed up the periodic table!"

"Hmm......" frowned at Charles, looking at the various papers on the table without saying a word.

198 is right, this is indeed a way to allow humans to gain the ability of the project, but this method is so primitive that even the person who loses the experiment says that he only succeeded the first time.

But Charles thought of the bandages lying on the bed and dying, and finally decided to be a dead horse and a live horse doctor, which was the only way now, and the bandages couldn't wait.

Now that he has made up his mind, then there is only one last question left, what relic ability can Bandage obtain, which will allow him to survive.

quickly retrieved his own, Charles directly eliminated it, and the various relics on his body did not have the ability to save the bandage.

Charles immediately asked all the crew to gather, "Take out all your relics, this is related to the life of our first mate." ”

Upon hearing this, the crew members took out their belongings one after another.

But Charles was soon disappointed, the crew did not have many relics in their hands, and most of them were offensive or defensive, purely for battle.

"What's the use of this?" Charles asked, picking up the golden shell in Feuerbach's hand.

"Captain, this is a good thing, it can attract schools of swallowing fish, this kind of fish is the most delicious for sashimi, and I usually have to catch it myself, but I can't catch it at all. ”

Feuerbach said as he looked curiously at the messy papers on the table.

Charles walked past him towards West on his left, and when he saw West with his hands empty, he set his eyes on the last cook.

Fat Face comes out of the chef's hand holding a quirky statue that looks like green soapstone. It was a fat woman, whose face was covered with various plants, and although the statue was small, the leaves and branches were carved lifelike. ”

"Captain, my relic was bought by me to save my life, as long as I feed it with blood every day, even if I am mortally wounded, I will not die, and I will go directly to the vegetative state. It can leave valuable time for doctors to help. Chef Planck explained to his captain.

Charles took it from his hand and looked it up and down. "Really?"

"Uh...... I haven't tried it either, that's what the merchant said, his shop is next door to the police department, he shouldn't lie to me, but I paid a full 350,000 echoes to buy it. ”

Charles took a few glances at the small sculpture, then at the aggressive relics next to it, and finally decided to choose this one.

He shook the sculpture in his hand and gave orders to the sailors. "You guys get some sea salt and go to the infirmary, hurry. ”

Whether it works or not, the only thing he can do now is this.

Soon the crew had gathered in the infirmary, and they watched curiously as their captain drew on the ground with a pen and sea salt.

When Charles was seen putting the bandage in the center of the complicated triumph and pointing the black blade at the chef's statue, someone in the crowd immediately asked, "Captain, what are you doing here?"

It was Linda, and her expression looked a little incredible, which she rarely showed as a follower of the god of light.

"Can't you see that the first mate who took the relics to save us?"

"Use the black mist inside the relic to save it, I advise you to leave the whole body for the bandage. ”

"Have you seen someone else use it?

"If you swallow that thing, it's a life, but it's not necessarily a bandage. ”
