The high priest's voice was old and sticky, as if he had a mouthful of purulent phlegm in his mouth, and it was very uncomfortable to listen to Charles.

"Where's the thing?"

"Not far away, on a newly discovered island on the left side of the Coral Islands. ”

Charles continued, "Why are you looking for me? Whether it's a man or a ship, it's much better than me." ”

"Hehehe, that place is a bit dangerous, and we need a cautious captain. ”

Charles didn't believe that the words "a little dangerous" in his mouth were not worth 1 million Echo Coins.

"You're not the only one who said this, right?

The High Priest said with contempt in his tone, "Isn't Captain Charles the one who claims to be buying an exploration ship? ”

Seeing that the red robe in front of him did not answer his question directly, Charles knew that the fate of his predecessors must not be good, and that place must be dangerous.

After thinking for a while, he decided to take on this task, and he didn't want to delay it any longer.

As for the danger, how safe can the present voyage be, as long as there is no safe place above the earthly sea.

"Yes, but how can I guarantee that you are the talker?"

The high priest of the Photanism seems to be very reasonable. "I can put the pay in the Bank of England and let them be witnesses. ”

He paused for a few seconds before continuing, "I have a small question here, what is Captain Charles so desperate to buy the exploration ship for?

Charles didn't intend to hide it, "In search of a place of light." ”

Hearing this, the red robe trembled, and the old voice asked with a hint of panic, "Looking for the Land of Light, you can't be a member of the Sect of Light, right?"

"It's not. ”

Hearing Charles's answer, the high priest breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good, if you're really those heretics, then the deal between us will have to be reconsidered, don't get involved with them, those heretics are complete insane, they're a cult!"

Listening to the Putan believers who like to sacrifice living people say this, Charles inexplicably wanted to laugh, the eldest brother doesn't say the second brother, if it is calculated according to the standards of the earth's surface, the religion of the earth and the sea is counted as one and the other is all heretics, and all kinds of religious rituals are more anti-human and anti-human.

When Charles walked out of the confessional, the bald head of the hook came in with a glass of blood and water, and respectfully placed it behind the high priest.

"You go and sign the contract now and let him go as soon as possible. ”

The hook nodded, pondered for a moment, and then asked carefully, "High Priest, do you think you can succeed this time?"

A black octopus tentacle stretched out from under the red robe, rolling the glass of water and shrinking into the robe, "Try it slowly, this is only the 9th place, don't worry...... The things of the Lord can only belong to us. ”

Without wasting any time, Charles followed the hook to the largest bank in the Coral Islands.

Charles was relieved to see the bald head write the Church of Photan on the contract, the legitimacy of which was now endorsed by the Governor of the Coral Islands. It is impossible for the Photans to break their promise, because if they do, they will pay far more than a million.

"Captain Charles, I heard that your first mate has disembarked, right?"

"Does this have anything to do with this?" said Charles, putting the contract in the compartment of his clothes.

"Of course not, just to let you complete the task as soon as possible, we have specially selected a first mate for you, he has a wealth of sailing experience, please don't refuse. ”

Looking at the bald head in front of him, Charles frowned slightly. "To spy on me?"

"No, he's just showing you the way, the island is so remote that you won't find it. ”

It doesn't matter to Charles, at present, the interests of both sides are the same, and no matter how crazy these guys are, they will not send someone over at this time to drag them back.

"I left at six o'clock in three days. ”

Three days later, the port was already a little lively, with teams of laborers carrying goods like ants.

Charles stood at the bow of the ship waiting, while the rest of the crew stood on deck chatting idly, including two fresh faces, both new sailors, and the previous sailor, Deep, had been made a boatswain.

The boy who had suddenly been promoted looked excited, and put his hands behind his back to teach the new sailors, even if they were much older than him.

The big wheel pipe and the chef next to him were not so heartless, they knew that this task was not so simple.

"James, I thought you'd get off the boat like John?" said Frey, the skinny bamboo cook.

"The captain saved my life, I will go wherever he goes, and the captain said that the reward for this mission is great, and when I get paid, I can propose to Moxica. It seems to be associated with the wedding scene, and the big man's face is full of happiness.

"What if I die? This isn't a delivery mission, but if you do, it's an explorer's business to explore the island. ”

"I'm not afraid, and it's not bad to go with you. ”

Thinking of something, the big wheel pipe turned to look at his companion, "Frey, what about you, why are you here?"

"You know my character, I'm too lazy to move around. Frey said, looking at his captain's back, his eyes filled with calmness.

In fact, he didn't leave because he had stolen the captain a few years ago secretly taking a rectangular object, which not only played songs like a record player, but also had ghosts performing dramas on it.

He didn't know what it was, but he felt like it was some powerful relic, and he guessed it was at the cost of tears. The always rational captain actually cried like a child that day.

From that moment on, he felt that he had followed this captain, and with the captain with such a powerful relic, his safety must be guaranteed.

It doesn't matter if you are paid well at sea, it doesn't matter how much you work, it's the most important thing to be alive.

It turned out that his choice was not wrong, and the people who went to sea at the same time as him were almost dead, and only he was alive and well.

Charles, at the bow of the boat, suddenly narrowed his eyes, and saw a line of black-robed Vertans in the distance walking through the laborers towards the dock, led by the bald head named Hook.

"Where's the man, hurry up, I'm in a hurry. Charles looked impatient.

Hook smiled and clapped his hands slightly, and one behind him stepped forward.

When he saw the man's outfit, Charles thought he had seen a mummy, and the earthy yellow bandage was firmly wrapped around the man's body, and no skin leaked out.

"You can call him a bandage or something, he's been a first mate and knows where the island is, he'll help you a lot on this trip. ”

"What's inside is alive?" said Charles, with a wary tone.

"Hehe, don't worry, he's human, a man of flesh and blood. ”

Hook pulled out a dagger and slashed hard at the bandage man's face, and under the loosened bandage was black skin, and the cut wound was dripping with scarlet blood.

"Negro, can there be negroes in this world?" Charles took a closer look, only to realize that he had mistaken it, this man's skin was not black, but covered with dense letter tattoos, and at first glance, he had the illusion that he was black.
