"What do you say?!...... Have you ever been to this level 4 island?!" The shocked fat man's voice was a little out of tune, and his expression was very exciting.

The other captains were also shocked, just now they were warning this man not to go to the island to find death, and now they actually say that he has finished exploring?

"Why is there only a danger level on the island, but no bounty?" Charles asked the next question.

"Don't get off the hook! When are you going to go to that island?

Charles, who frowned slightly, leaned back slightly, dodging the fat man's spittle. "Photan asked me to go to the island and get something, is there anything wrong with that? ”

At this time, Elizabeth was no longer calm, her fair face was flushed with a hint of crimson, and she looked a little excited,

"Charles, you may not know the steps to explore the island when you first arrive. There are many different types of quests for explorers, starting with exploring routes, then assessing the level of danger of the natives, and finally exploring and conquering islands, and in the guild, each quest has different pay. ”

"And you, a newcomer, have directly completed the first few steps, as long as you complete the next capture of the island! The whole island is yours! You are the next lucky one, the next Governor!"

That's the case, no wonder the islands on the chart are not paid, it turns out that the exploration of the islands is so fine, Charles said secretly in his heart.

"Don't talk about that, new ...... Charles, what resources are there on that island? Is it dangerous?"

After thinking about it for a few seconds, Charles decided that the island was of little value, so he told them the information about the island.

When they heard that there was no food, no fresh water, and that the island was full of monsters that could erase human memories, everyone's faces showed regret.

"Alas, it's another dead island, and I thought I could witness history and see one of the fastest governors. ”

"yes, there's not even fresh water, and it's useless to occupy it. ”

"With a little bit of resources, we can build an attack fleet next. ”

While everyone else was talking about the topic, Charles pointed to the northernmost Grade 5 island on the chart with his hand and said to the female recorder next to him: "In half a month, my boat will be able to go to sea, and I need to explore this island." ”

Elizabeth opened her mouth and seemed to want to persuade, but in the end she didn't say anything, the strength of this guy in front of her was really a little incomprehensible, he was not an ordinary newcomer.

After the recorder finished registering the task, Charles looked around at the captains who were suddenly silent. "Excuse me, guys, is there any path in terms of weapons?"

The last expedition had taught him that Charles had to improve the combat power of the entire ship, and that a revolver alone was not enough.

"If it's just a general weapon, ask them. The strong man pointed to the staff behind the counter. "The association also deals in weapons, and they can get everything if the price is right. ”

The recorder next to him said very intimately: "Please wait a moment, I'll send the list of weapons." ”

Charles suddenly felt that the person who founded the association was really a business genius, and that it was false to say that it was for the sake of all mankind, and that it was true to engage in the arms business with explosive profits.

Soon, several introductory books were placed in front of Charles, and the prices of bullets were intimately marked under various models of firearms.

Earthsea's technology is a bit off, most of the guns are obsolete weapons that served in World War I, and the more advanced weapons are not known or not.

"Charles, these things actually look good, but they are not very useful, and there are many things on the island that cannot be dealt with with bullets. ”

The strong man's words calmed down the heart-pounded Charles, who was sure, but all the weirdness of the island, this kind of simple violence was not of much use.

Charles didn't think that if he replaced the revolver in his hand with other guns before, there would be any essential difference when he went to the Golden Statue Island, and the guns couldn't stop the modification of his memory.

"And what do you use?" Charles asked.

"Take human lives to fill in. A hoarse voice came from the side, and the enthusiastic atmosphere in the crowd began to cool a little.

It was a middle-aged man with a dark face and a hooked nose on his face.

He leaned forward and stared at Charles with his gray pupils.

"I know what you want to ask. Expect us to have some know-how to explore, yes, we all have different abilities. He raised one hand, and a blue flame flashed in his hand.

"But even if we have relics with strange abilities, the mortality rate of explorers is still high and scary, a successful governor is followed by thousands of deaths, you were okay last time it was just luck, don't blame me for telling the truth, the reality is so cruel. ”

Hearing him say this, Charles was more reassured, the earth and sea have never shown mercy to humans.

He said to the exploration captains in front of him, "Everyone, I'll talk when I have time, I need to go and prepare supplies for going to sea." ”

Watching Charles walk out of the door, the strong man wondered, "What do you say he is going to the north for?

No one answered him, and for a moment there was silence in the hall.

In the next half month, Charles was not idle, in addition to preparing materials, it was a full-body exercise and marksmanship.

Earthsea is cruel, but he won't give up on his faith.

The days on the shore passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was already half a month later.

The brand-new exploration ship was quietly parked in the harbor, the streamlined hull, the black deck cannon against the light, and the thick hull made Charles have a trace of fascination in his eyes.

"She's so pretty. Do you say yes?" said Charles, with a bit of excitement and anticipation.

"Captain, what's its name? Isn't it still called the Mouse?" asked Deep, who was standing in front of the five sailors.

Looking at the 125-caliber steel cannon on the foredeck, Charles thought for a while and then said to him, "Narwhal, she's called the Narwhal!"

After naming the new ship's name, Charles turned to look at the fresh faces, the narwhal was not a cargo ship like the Mouse, it was driven by a small number of people, and as an exploration ship, none of the crew members were left behind.

1 boatswain, 4 sailors, 1 first mate, 1 second officer, 1 chief engineer, 1 chief engineer, 1 second engineer, 1 cook, 1 assistant cook, 1 captain, a total of 13 crew members.

The crew ranged from old to young to tall and short, all male, and some of them were natives with inward ears.

While Charles observed them, the crew also looked at Charles with curiosity in their eyes.

The ship is different from the ground, as long as it goes to sea, the whole ship is a closed environment, and the captain is the king of this ship, he controls the fate of everyone, if a captain is not reliable, he will kill everyone on board.

When they saw Charles's face, they let go of their worries a little, although the black-eyed captain was young, many people knew that this was an old captain.

"I believe everyone knows what we are going to do this time, and I don't have to lie to you, the mortality rate of the exploration ship is currently one in five, and it is still too late if you want to quit. ”

None of the people in the crowd moved, and none of them standing here were going to sea for the first time, and they all knew the risks of this trip, and they also knew the benefits if they successfully explored a new island.

As long as the captain becomes the governor of the new island, these little minions will also ascend to heaven, and going to sea is a life, so why not be bigger?

"Very well, now everyone is on board!"
