Just when West didn't know what to do with his mother, he was relieved to see Chef Planck, who was waving to him in the distance. "Well, Mother, my friend is calling me, so I'm ......."

"Go, go, you're an adult now, you should have your own friends, remember to come back early. ”

"Well, I'll be back by 10 p.m. Vest ran for the cook.

"Planck, thank you for helping me out. ”

"What's the siege? Guys are drinking at the Anchor Bar, are you coming?"

"Come, of course!"

Vest followed Planck to the lively Anchor Bar, where he sat on a wooden stool with a cold beer.

Around the round wooden table in front of him were his companions, all the narwhal sailors and the other crew members who joined in later.

A sailor named Buck next to him put down his wine glass and said in a low voice, "Hey, do you know the news?"

"What's the news?

"That's news? I'm talking about the death of the chief engineer, and the current chief engineer is going to become the new chief engineer, so there is a vacancy in the engine room, and I overheard the first mate discussing with the second officer, and they plan to choose one of us to join the turbine group. ”

"Isn't the captain recruited directly from the docks?" said West, with a hilarious curiosity on his face.

"The turbine cabin is the heart of the whole ship, and of course we have priority over our own people, and if we want to recruit new sailors, I can tell you, the salary of the turbine crew is twice that of our deck crew. ”

As soon as he heard this, West's eyes, which had been indifferent just now, suddenly lit up. Skilled jobs are just different.

Another sailor next to him slapped the table vigorously, hiccuped, and said, "Don't think about that, I guess our ship will not be out to sea for long, haven't you heard from the captain? He has found the exit to the Land of Light, and the narwhal may be about to retire." ”

"Another place of light? Do you believe it? I don't believe it. Anyway, I will go out to the sea four more times at most, and I will not do it, I will use the money I have saved to buy two houses, I will rent one apartment and live in another, and I will enjoy a peaceful life. When the bearded sailor finished speaking, he took a sip of his glass.

West's thoughts gradually diverged, and he said imaginatively: "Well, you say, is what the captain said true? Is there really such a place? An island bigger than the ocean, and the man who lives in the middle of the island will not be able to eat fish for the rest of his life?"

"When Lily was playing with the black mirror, I peeked at it and many of the paintings in it were the same as the real thing, I believe the captain wouldn't brag and say big things, he's not that kind of person, and didn't the captain say he's from the Land of Light?"

"If I were the captain of the ship, I would not be too lazy to go to sea, and where would there be a better life than being a governor. ”

In the small talk of the crew, time passed little by little, and the small holes in the sunlight used to illuminate the greenhouse were re-blocked by the islanders, hoping that the night of the island had fallen.

In the Doge's Palace, Charles lay peacefully asleep on his bed, and suddenly woke up in the darkness, and with his instinctive sixth sense he felt that someone was watching him.

When he felt that gaze getting closer and closer to him, his muscles tightened suddenly, and the black blade popped out directly, pounced directly like a cheetah.

With a "poof", the black blade sank into the opponent's body, and Charles's tentacles wrapped directly around his limbs.

As soon as the tentacles made contact with the other party, he realized that the other party was a very petite little man, who looked like he was only a three-year-old child.

However, Charles did not let his guard down, and the average three-year-old would not break through the blockade of the Governor's Palace and suddenly appear in his bedroom.

Charles's face was full of hideousness, and the black blade in his hand did not enter another point. "Say, who the hell are you, who sent you!"

"Flash...... Shining. The sound of milk and milk sounded and made Charles's body stiffen.

Charles trembled and reached out to the man's face, but he touched the head of a young girl.

"Twilight, is it really you, why are you like that?"

"Of course, it doesn't depend on whose daughter it is, my Anna's daughter transforms into a body, it's as simple as breathing, how about it, is your daughter cute like this? I deliberately made her like this, oh, by the way, I guess you can't see it now, you're blind. ”

Charles turned his head a little anxiously and said in the direction of the voice: "You are here, why didn't you say it earlier, Twinkle is injured!"

"Rest assured, scumbag, your little broken knife really can't hurt our daughter, she's amazing. Anna walked up to Twinkle and pulled out the knife and shoved it back into Charles's hand.

Carefully touching his daughter's abdomen, Charles was relieved to find that the wound had disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Charles touched his daughter's head with his hand and said, "Why are you here?"

"Look at how blind you are, and you ask me why I'm here. I'm really convinced. There was some disgust in Anna's voice.

Charles didn't care about the tone of the other party, Anna was this character, and he couldn't wait to share the results of his adventure.

Reaching for his coat on the side, he took out the chart from inside, and said in a voice with a hint of excitement: "You see, I found the exit from the surface. ”

A slender, soft arm reached from behind Charles and gently pinched the paper.

"Really? It can't be the same as the crack in the island of hope, another fake, right? Anna's soft voice was hesitant.

"No, there's a good chance that this place is on the surface, and the Foundation has sent people to the surface before, and they always have an exit to the surface. ”

Anna glanced at the man in front of her in a complicated manner, and then patted him on the shoulder with her hand, "Call me when you go up." I'll go up with you. ”

"Of course, of course you have to come along, that's the world we used to live in. There was a hint of excitement on Charles' face.

Anna stroked her forehead with the back of her hand and looked helpless, "What, I'm worried that if the surface doesn't meet your expectations, I'm afraid that you guys will go crazy again." ”

The smile on Charles's face froze, and then slowly retracted. He gently stroked his daughter's head with his hand, and muttered to himself: "No, never again, even if the surface is destroyed, I will not go crazy, if that is the case, I will return to Hope Island, and be my governor with peace of mind, when the time comes, I will take you all over, and we will live a peaceful life together, and we will never run around again." ”
