Chapter 286: Remuneration and Ability
"It's been a long time since I've seen Margaret, so come and talk to me. Charles returned to the drawing board and began to draw.
Margaret struggled slightly, and finally she stepped forward.
"What's wrong with the face? Who got it?"
Margaret did not answer, and the tower with an indifferent expression tried to bring the conversation back to normal.
"Governor Charles, do you think that the bargaining chips are not enough? as long as I take back any other conditions, other conditions can be negotiated. ”
Charles looked away from the painting in front of him and looked at Margaret beside him.
"Brush. The drawing on Charles's sketchboard was taken down and handed over. It was a pencil sketch.
In the background is the deck of a ship, and in it is a young girl, who holds food in her hands and gives it to the slave next to her, when they first met.
The eyes of the beautiful girl are full of innocence, pure like an angel.
"Actually, compared to you now, I still think you before you look better, not just your face. ”
Looking at her former self on the drawing paper, Margaret's heart felt as if she had been touched by something.
Margaret stepped forward with a slight trembling expression. "Governor Charles, how on earth are you going to lend me the ship, and is it worthless to save you?"
Charles walked up to her and looked into her eyes, and he could see that there was something in a woman's gaze that he had once had.
Obsession, extreme obsession, desperate obsession to achieve a certain goal.
Charles's hand reached over, patted her on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I will lend you the boat, and I will lend you the people, but I want you to face the things in your heart thoroughly, otherwise one day it will ruin you, and that feeling of despair is worse than death." ”
"Click" Margaret felt as if something had cracked in her heart, but the scene before her father, mother and brother quickly covered it up.
The slender arms shook slightly, shaking Charles's arms apart.
With an excited expression, Margaret took out a dagger and slashed it on her arm, and several black stones were pulled out by her with blood.
When Charles was stunned, she quickly sliced open Charles's right palm and stuffed the stones into it. "The Cavendish family will never ask for charity from others, since my favor for saving you is worthless, then this is the reward for your fleet!"
After Margaret finished speaking, she took the drawing paper in her hand and turned away.
Charles looked at the scar on his hand that healed quickly, his expression was a little confused, what the hell is wrong with this girl? What does this mean?
For Margaret, in fact, Charles didn't know much, except for the fact that he rescued Sodomari before, and he didn't know much after that.
Hearing that she had saved herself, Charles showed kindness to her, but the other party didn't seem to appreciate it.
Looking at Margaret's figure getting farther and farther away, Charles didn't intend to chase, and raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
In the shadows, the mouse holding half a piece of white sugar quickly came out, and Charles quickly wrote on the drawing paper, folded it into small pieces and gave it to the mouse.
"Send it to Feuerbach and ask him to borrow a fleet for Margaret. ”
"Squeak~squeak~" The mouse quickly ran out with a paper bag in his mouth.
"What did she stuff in my hand?" Charles, pulling out the black blade, was about to slash his palm and pull it out.
The blade slashed along the lines of his palm, and to Charles's surprise, there was only a small cut in his palm, and there was no blood.
"What's going on?" Charles slashed again, and a bloody streak appeared in his palm.
And it also healed rapidly under Charles's strong recovery ability.
Charles put the fingers of his hand in his palm and quickly pulled out the stone.
He looked at the stone, then at the black blade.
Facing the bloody palm, Charles stabbed down again, and this time the defense became obviously lower.
Blood splattered, and the knife almost chopped off the entire palm.
Charles stood in the sunlight and looked at the small stone in the prosthetic hand. "Does this thing increase the body's defense?"
Somehow, Charles immediately remembered Margaret's governor of Hofang Island, who could be bombarded with cannons.
Perhaps that's why he's not afraid of shelling.
As soon as Charles stretched out his hand, he thrust the stones into the wound again, and began to test his physical changes with various attacks.
First of all, in terms of defense, as long as this stone is buried in the body, his skin is almost as hard as iron.
Even if it is an extremely sharp weapon like a black blade, it is difficult to cut blood without slashing hard.
The defense against the impact is even better, and ordinary bullets leave only a shallow crater on the body.
This is still only one aspect, the other is the change in strength, this stone can obviously increase strength.
Charles looked left and right and walked towards the towering coconut trees on the side.
With his right hand, he clenched his fist and leaned on the tree pole with his forearm, and then slammed his forearm and smashed it against the trunk of the tree, and the sawdust splashed, and a whole coconut tree fell to the ground in an instant.
The sound immediately attracted the attention of the islanders next to them, but when they saw Charles standing intact under the sun, they immediately took their eyes back.
On Hope Island, the only person who can stand under the sun and be safe and sound is the esteemed Governor, a member of the Cult of the Illuminati, who said that this was his reward for finding the Land of Light.
Charles looked at his arm with a shocked expression. Speaking of which, his strength is not small, and with the clown mask to increase his body, his strength has reached the limit of the human body.
But now, his strength has completely broken through the limits of humans, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a humanoid tank.
This is a good thing, a very good thing, and if you really want to compare, the lease of a fleet is not such a good thing.
Charles wanted to go to Margaret and ask, but he turned around and took two steps to think about it.
She seems to want to completely dissociate herself from herself, and going to her by herself will only make her more embarrassed.
"Hopefully she'll think about it herself. Charles walked in front of the drawing board, picked up his brush and prepared to mix colors.
"Click", the brush was pinched into three knots by him,
Charles looked at the broken brush and was stunned, and the sudden increase in strength made him a little uncomfortable.
Seeing this, he didn't bother to draw, and Charles put away the sketchpad and prepared to go back. Let's go back and get used to this strong strength first, otherwise no number of brushes will be enough for him to fold.
Charles walked into the shaded shed, and the islanders immediately dispersed in a large circle. looked at him with respect and affection in his eyes.
Charles didn't bother to pay attention to this, and walked quickly towards the governor's palace.
At the back of the Governor's Palace, there was a training ground and a design room, where equipment was available to help him quickly adapt to the sudden increase in strength.
Just as Charles was hurrying down the street to his home, a child's voice suddenly came from beside him. "Mom, look at that, that broken arm madman at our doorstep!"
I like the Secret Sea, the Secret Sea.
