Chapter Seventy-Two: Return to the Island and Suspend Sailing
In the narwhal's captain's room, Charles was engrossed in looking at the chart on the table, which had marked the object's experimental interaction island and the third laboratory, and the anomalies in the two places were written next to it, and he wanted to find out the connection between the two.
"Do you think the people of the sea were brought down by them at all?"
Charles shook his head. "Then why is there no trace of them in the earth and sea, history books, mythological stories, and even the apocalypse of the Sun God Cult only has the high Sun God, not even the oracle. ”
"Who knows, if you want me to say, just leave them alone, love whoever they love, anyway, they are all dead now. ”
"It's not logical, the Foundation is not only technologically advanced, but also has a large number of relics, its existence cannot be so quiet, I always feel that our search for the surface entrance is inseparable from them. ”
"If you really want to think like this, why don't you guess the big point, for example, now there is a catastrophe on the surface that destroys the world, and then they fled to the underground with the rest of the human race to survive, I seem to have seen this plot in the Bible, Noah's Ark!"
Charles felt a kind of irritability inexplicably, and the murmur that he hadn't seen for a long time became louder in his ears.
"Squeak~" The door was pushed open, and Deepp carefully poked his head in with a plate of things.
"Captain, I have recovered a fluorescent giant crab with the sailors, and I have brought you the best meat on the crab claws. ”
On the plate in Dipper's hand were long strips of white meat, which looked very smooth.
"Put it on the table and knock on the door next time you come in. Charles's eyes never left the chart.
Dipper quietly put down to leave but was stopped by Charles, and when he saw Charles holding a mask and handing it to him, the boy's breathing suddenly became a little short.
"Don't you want a relic? Charles handed over the clown mask in his hand, which was once again immobile.
Dipper's face was suddenly ecstatic, he had seen this thing so powerful, he didn't expect the captain to give this to himself.
Excited, Dipper was about to pick it up, but Charles shrank back, he looked at his boatswain seriously, and told him about the rules for using this thing, he wanted a good helper, but he didn't want a brain full of all kinds of personality neuroses.
Hearing Charles's words, Deep's expression was a little hesitant, but in the end he reached out and took it, he held the 096 and said, "Captain, I'll be careful." ”
"Get out, by the way, call the doctor. Charles rubbed his forehead with his hand.
"Hey, that's it for that kid?" Richard took control of his body, grabbed the crab meat with his hand and stuffed it into his mouth.
"We won't need that thing anyway, and giving it to him will increase our overall strength. Charles swallowed the crab meat in his mouth and continued to look at the chart.
It wasn't long before the doctor walked in shaking his iron legs, "You're looking for me?"
"Give me some more medicine, and the auditory hallucinations are starting to get worse again. Charles looked up at him.
"Serious again?" the doctor said, somewhat puzzled, as he conducted a series of examinations on Char.
After a long time, he put the iron hand on the table and thought for a while, and then said, "You know, I can only suppress the curse of the gods, right?"
"Of course, you said it before. ”
Again, the doctor said, "I do have a medicine that can eliminate your auditory hallucinations, but if you use that medicine, your life will not be long." ”
"Is there no other way?"
"Either go back to the island and rest for a few months, and I'll help you with other potions, or you can find someone else to clean up the curse of the gods. ”
Without waiting for Charles to speak, the doctor said again: "I suggest you choose the former, I have been at sea for so many years, and I have never seen anyone who can cure the curse of the gods, and your current abnormality is the superposition of the curse of the gods and the spiritual pollution brought by the sea, if you want to ease it, the easiest way is to go to the island to cultivate." ”
Looking at the islands on the chart, Charles showed a hint of hesitation on his face, the exit from the surface was among these islands, and it was worse to stop him now than to kill him.
The doctor seemed to know what Charles meant, and leaned over to the terrifying face and said, "I know that you are not afraid of death, and you can even spare your life for the sake of your purpose, but you can't think about your crew?" The chief engineer asked me to help him treat him a few days ago, and his auditory hallucinations were already very serious, and he was afraid of delaying your affairs, so he never told you. ”
Charles chuckled in his heart. "Who else but James has auditory hallucinations?"
"Except for a few new guys, everyone else is a little bit bit, I can cure their auditory hallucinations, but I can't help their nervous mental pressure, don't you think this time is a bit too rushed? I've never seen such a diligent exploration captain. ”
Charles tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table and was silent.
After a few seconds he looked up. "Got it, I'll be on leave for a while when I go back this time. ”
An ugly smile appeared on the doctor's face, and he patted Charles' shoulder with his hand, "Attention, I am talking about complete relaxation, you are still so young, don't work so hard"
After saying that, he lifted the iron leg and limped out.
The journey back to the island was as normal as ever, and after a dozen days, the lights of the Coral Island Lighthouse swept over the narwhal and they returned home.
Looking at the brightly lit port, every crew member had an excited smile on their faces, except Charles.
Back on the docks, Charles called everyone onto deck and announced a temporary closure.
"Everyone take advantage of this time to rest, resume the flight notice, I will let Lily's rat inform everyone, now disbanded. ”
For this news, everyone in the crew showed joy on their faces, although the money on this ship was enough, but there was too little time to rest on the shore, and now they could finally rest and rest.
When the crew was gone, Charles drove the Narwhal into the ship repair yard alone for maintenance, and the people needed to rest, and the ship needed to do it.
Watching the layers of barnacles under the boat being stripped by the boatmen, Charles waved at the suspended narwhal and turned away.
Walking out of the shipyard, Charles headed straight for the Explorers Guild, there was one more thing he hadn't done.
As soon as he walked into the hall of the Explorers' Guild, Charles found that it was very lively, and the captains of various exploration ships were talking in groups, exchanging relics and information with each other.
Life at sea blurred the date, and he realized that it was Saturday.
Charles walked into the crowd, his two eyeballs scattered and searched quickly, and soon found Elizabeth, who was holding a young girl, who was sitting with the familiar captains chatting happily.
