By the time the narwhal returned to Coral Island, it was already a month later.

With a new clue on the ground, Charles can't wait to go to Sodom, the city of chaos, but the crew can't hold on.

Giant butterflies, gods, vampires, everyone's face is full of exhaustion from the experience along the way.

Charles didn't embarrass them, he knew that everyone was not an iron man, the crew needed to rest, and the narwhal needed it too.

Overwhelmed by the improvised turbines and the damage to the hull caused by the sonic waves, the narwhal needed a complete overhaul.

Charles, who was standing on the boat, touched the edge of the boat distressedly and whispered, "Thank you for your hard work, companion." ”

"Mr. Charles, your voyage seems to be going a little unwell, are you in any danger, why is there so much damage?"

It was Wood, who had sold the ship to Charles in the first place.

At this time, Wood's heart was surprised, he did not expect that he would see this ship one day, he thought that this ship would have sunk to the bottom of the sea a long time ago.

He suddenly had a hunch that the young man in front of him might really have a chance to become the governor of the island.

"How much is it?" Charles didn't have time to chat with others.

Wood hurriedly handed over the bill. "Replace the turbines, plus heavy armor plates. The maintenance cost is a total of 1.21 million echoes. ”

Signing his name on the bill, Charles mentally estimated the amount of money he had left.

The previous 1.6 million echoes deducted the maintenance costs and removed the crew's salaries, and now only 150,000 remains.

It seems like a lot, but it's a dangerous amount for the money of an exploration ship, and if there is no revenue on the next route, then the whole narwhal will not be able to operate.

He was going to Sodom on his next route, which was destined to be unpaid, which made him very difficult.

Charles thought as he walked outside the shipyard.

As soon as he came out, he saw Odrik with sunglasses standing on the side of the road, as if waiting for him. "What are you doing standing here?"

"Mr. Charles, is there a shortage of people on your ship? Somewhat excited, Odrik bowed his head in the direction of the footsteps in front of him.

"Sorry, my crew is full. After Charles decisively refused, he crossed shoulders with him and walked towards the pier in the distance.

It's not that he's a vampire, it's that it's impossible to have a blind man on any ship, and what can a blind man who can draw do on a ship, paint portraits of the crew?

Before he could take a few steps, an anxious Odrik groped his way up. "Captain Charles, I'm not a burden, I've been promoted, I've got new abilities. ”

The black cloak covered the blind vampire's body and wriggled continuously, and after just two seconds, a black bat flew up and down Charles,

"Captain Charles, I'm already a baron, I've got the ability to shapeshift, and when I turn into a bat, I can see things without my eyes. ”

Looking at the bat, which was half the size of his arm, Charles shook his head. He flipped his right hand, and the revolver instantly appeared in his hand.

With a "snap", the bat fell to the ground and turned back into a blind vampire, holding his injured left shoulder with his hand and looking pained.

"If you want to live, you should be your painter. ”

Listening to the footsteps gradually fade away, Aldrik hesitated for two seconds, and suddenly shouted loudly: "Captain, aren't you going to Sodom to find the sun? I went there 40 years ago, I can lead the way!!"

"I don't need your help, I have a way. ”

Odrick's face showed anxiety, and he hurriedly said again: "Mr. Charles, I can become your powerful combat force, although I am blind, but I am a vampire after all, and my combat effectiveness is only higher than that of your crew!!"

After a long time, Charles's voice rang in his ears, "Aren't you afraid of the sun, why do you want to follow me?"

A wry smile appeared on Aldrick's face. "You may not believe it, but the salary of your crew for a mission is something I can't earn for several years, and I envy it, I don't want to have too many extravagances anymore, I just want to have a job and live in peace. ”

Looking at the vampire in front of him, Charles's expression was a little strange, it was the first time he had seen such a miserable vampire.

"Captain Charles, are you still there?"

"The narwhal sailors count you in. ”

"Thank you, Captain!!"

Traveled through August 3 of the eighth year

Three days ago, my crew and I arrived safely on Coral Island.

The blind vampire joined my team, his personality is a bit cowardly, I am not very satisfied, but being a sailor should not be a problem, and his ability to transform into a bat can be used as a lookout at a critical moment.

Vampires have great healing powers, and the last batch of sailors are dead, and I need to find some that won't die easily.

Next, I'm going to head to Sodom in search of the kind of sunlight that can fit in a box, and if it is, there must be a way to the surface.

"Click. The door was pushed open.

Charles, who was keeping a diary, turned his head to look and saw Lily, with drooping ears, walking in with the mice.

"Where have you been?" asked Charles.

Frustrated, Lily climbed down the sheets onto the pillow and walked towards it. "I won't tell you ......"

Charles shook his head, closed his journal, and stood up. "I'm going out and looking after the house. ”

The rat's head, buried in the soft pillow, stood up. "Mr. Charles, where are you going?"

"This Saturday, all the captains should be coming to the Explorers Guild to meet, and I'm going to see if there's any news. ”

"Sounds interesting, take me to play!"

"Take good care of the house. The indifferent Charles pushed the door and walked out.

Seeing the door being mercilessly slammed shut, Lily pounded the pillow angrily. "Mr. Charles, what a nuisance!"

She thumped hard a few times and threw herself onto the pillow. "Hmph, if you don't take me to my bed, I'll annoy you when you go to bed at night. ”

Time passed, and Lily, who was dazed, was startled by a knock on the door.

Looking at the door that was banging, Lily was a little panicked. "Who?

With a "click", the door lock was torn off, and a hideous and terrifying tentacle monster appeared at the door.

Lily screamed in fright at the sight of the twisted tentacles and the big angry eyes, and the brown rats immediately surrounded her, baring their fangs at the intruders.

The monstrous tentacle monster saw the screaming mouse, and its body changed rapidly. An adult woman with a sexy and hot body appears in the room.

Lily's eyes widened as she looked at the beautiful woman in front of her, she knew the woman, the woman drawn by a blind painter.

"It turned out that a mouse scared me, I just heard the woman's voice, I thought Gao Zhiming was stealing food behind my back. ”
