Chapter 148: The Man is the Master
"What's the speed now?" asked Charles, who was standing in the cockpit staring at the charts.
"Section 15, Captain," Knona asked, his eyes shining as he finished his report.
"Captain, you should have a long rest time after this voyage is completed, right? Now that you have occupied a living island, my goal has been achieved, and I would like to take a leave of absence to return to the volcanic island and take my family with me. ”
"Yes, when the Cult of Light comes, you can go back with their ship, and when I get to the top and settle down, I'll send someone to pick you up. Charles agreed.
Knona shook the helm wheel in his hand, looked at Charles's back and stopped talking.
"Say something quickly, don't ramble. ”
"Captain, if there really is a land of light, you probably won't stay on Hope Island with us, right?"
Charles glanced at him and continued to look at the charts on the wall.
Knona smiled a little embarrassedly. "Actually, everyone can feel the emotion of wanting to go back. The ship's doctor said that you don't have any nostalgia for this sea, and that you are always running away from here. ”
Charles took his pocket watch and looked at the time, and drew a dotted line on the wall with his pen.
After looking at Charles's face, Knona spoke again: "Captain, if you go up, you won't have to pick me up, even if the narwhal is no longer sailing, you will always be my captain." ”
"Why don't you go to the surface?" said Charles, who was very surprised, turned his head to look at the second mate.
"Captain, it's like your world is on top, and my world is on the Earth Sea, I have fulfilled my wish, and I plan to spend the rest of my life on Hope Island. ”
"Haven't you heard me talk about the above, why do you want to stay in such a place?"
"Because I've become a person of the island. I don't want to toss anymore. ”
"Each of the above can live the life of an island heart. ”
"That's why I don't want to go up!" said Knona's voice sharply louder.
He breathed sharply and shouted indignantly: "I finally became a human being, so I don't want to go to that kind of place where everyone is equal!! I want to enjoy the privileges of the people of the island! I want to live the same life as other people of the island! I can do whatever I want!!"
Charles looked at his second mate with some complications, he didn't expect that the reason why the second mate didn't want to go up was actually this.
"Am I wishful thinking? Maybe the surface is heaven for me, but not so beautiful for them?"
The air in the cabin was a little dull. "Captain, why don't you just be the governor there, what do you want here, why do you-"
"Alright, I don't want to discuss this with you, let's move over to Monzi's boat, and I'll see how he's doing. Charles interrupted him.
Since he doesn't want to, forget it, everyone has their own aspirations, and he doesn't want to force it.
Knona swallowed the words back and silently turned the rudder.
Seeing Monzi's ship's searchlight coming on, Charles stepped out of the cockpit and raised his prosthetic leg at the exploration ship not far away.
The anchor hook instantly shot at the hull of the ship on the opposite side, Charles's heart moved slightly, and the chain contraction quickly pulled him away.
Looking at the departing captain, Knona took out a pendant from his chest, stared straight at it for a while, and then put it back in, his eyes slightly red. "Misha, don't worry, I'm also from the island now, I can snatch you back. ”
As soon as he boarded the boat, Charles saw a purple crystal the size of a grapefruit held in a glass bottle, and was held tightly by Monzi.
Seeing Charles flying over, Monzi greeted him. "Lord Governor, the crystal has just lit up slightly for a while, and I judge that if you lean a little closer, you should be able to get in touch. ”
"You can't have a problem with this relic at a critical moment, right?" said Charles, pointing to the crystal with his index finger.
"Absolutely, this teleportation crystal is an heirloom of our family, it was found by my great-grandfather in the belly of a big fish, and it has been used for almost a hundred years. It has saved several lives. ”
Charles stared at the crystal, and inexplicably felt that the crystal was staring at him as well.
Glancing at Monzi, who was gloomy in face, Charles was a little farther away, the side effects of this relic were probably not small.
Just as Charles was about to ask what the price of using the crystal would be, Monzi's eyes narrowed and looked over there. "Governor, look over there, there's something. ”
Charles quickly turned around, and soon saw a hazy white beneath the water in the distance.
"Don't look at it, when it doesn't exist, wave the flag to the narwhal and let them go around. Charles immediately gave the most sensible order.
Whatever it was, Charles didn't want to make a fuss out of it at this time.
The bright yellow flag shook rapidly, and the flotilla began to turn rapidly, away from the hazy cold color.
Just when Charles thought it was a little episode, the white suddenly reappeared, this time closer, so close that Charles could see the barnacle-covered deck.
It was a steamship, a ghost ship that traveled beneath the surface.
The hull covered in thick barnacles and coral, glowing with the cold glow of the moon, makes the wreck stand out underwater.
Sure enough, when it comes to the critical moment, nothing good happens. Charles's face was ugly.
This thing knew at a glance that it was targeting itself, and Charles did not hesitate, and immediately gave the order to attack.
As the cannon continued to sound, the water column more than ten meters high continued to splash, but when the water surface calmed down, the thing was not damaged, as if it was just a reflection on the sea.
Seeing that the cannonball was useless, Charles took out the lightning staff.
At this moment, the ghost ship quickly surfaced to the surface, and the disgusting stench quickly spread, and a translucent green man walked out of the cabin of the ghost ship.
It seemed to be a ghost, and instead of wearing the usual attire of Captain Earthsea, he was wearing a smart blue navy suit.
While everyone on the ship was watching it in horror, the ghost gave a military salute to Charles, who was not far away.
"Hello sir, I'm the captain of the transport ship D134, I'm lost now, may I tell me the direction of East Nod. ”
Looking at the strange ghost, Charles thought quickly in his heart and said slowly, "I don't know what kind of place you are talking about. ”
Whatever it was, he didn't want to anger the ghost.
As soon as he heard that Charles didn't understand, a trace of doubt appeared on the ghost's translucent face. "You don't know, how can you not know? There's an elevator leading to the New Territories? Haven't you heard of it?"
