Chapter 156: The Pope
Charles who was lying on the bed looked like a mummy, looking straight at the snow-white ceiling.
He looked like he was in a daze, but now his mind was thinking about the simple words of the praying mantis' conversation.
It only says two words, but it contains a lot of content.
They have said that because of some kind of catastrophe in humanity, if you look at the situation of this thing, this catastrophe also affects them.
The second is that from the second sentence, it can be inferred that there was a group of humans who had negotiated with them and made some kind of contract with them. The biggest possible thing for this group of humans is the Foundation.
The first question that puzzled Charles the most was the fact that if it was a very significant disaster, then why is there no record of the history of Earthsea?
When he first came down, in order to find an exit, he had already checked the history of the earthly sea, and before the steam turbine was built, all the records were some sunken or changes in the sovereignty of the islands, and there were no particularly unusual disaster records.
Could it be some kind of catastrophe on the surface, but how can a catastrophe on the surface affect the mantis monsters that live in the Earthsea?
Just when Charles was puzzled, the door was pushed open, and in addition to the doctor with a straight face, Hunn with an excited face entered.
"Governor Charles, you're awake, we thought you'd never wake up again. β
Charles glanced at the doctor on the side, didn't he wake up a long time ago?
"Tell me quickly, what are the creatures you said lived on the top of the cave?
Twisting the itchy bandage on his left arm, Charles sat up and told him what had happened.
"There are a lot of bugs, at least a few hundred of them I have seen, the rift leading to the Land of Light seems to be their lair, if you want to go to the Land of Light, you must drive them all away, like a ship like the Rising War, how many do you have now?"
"There are still two more ships on the Rebirth, but the gel coats that can resist the divine light have been used up, and they were originally used for launching, so they didn't prepare too much. β
Charles shook his head, "It's not good to have clothes, the two ships are useless at all, their strength is very strong, and the combat power we need is far greater than these." β
"Uh-huh......" Hunn pondered, and after a long time, he looked up. "Please wait a moment, I can't be the master of this matter, I need to ask the Pope. β
After saying that, he stood up and walked out, his face at this time no longer had the excitement he had just now, and his eyebrows were entangled.
Hundreds of six-meter-long monsters, if they were on the ground, these people on the island would be able to easily deal with them, but they were stuck on the top covered with deadly divine light, which was not easy to deal with.
As for the disaster that the praying mantis said, Charles didn't mention it to Hunn, and the purpose of his seeking the Illuminati Sect was to get them to help him get up. Suddenly told him something else, and Charles was afraid that they would be distracted.
One thing at a time, Charles was always sure that his current goal was to return to the surface, and only by returning to the surface would he consider his next steps.
"I'm almost feeling better, can I get off the ground now?" asked Charles, covered in gauze, to the doctor.
"Hmph, severe burns, you want to go down to the ground for so long? The doctor took the iron flask and leaned against the wall to watch the play.
As his body moved, Charles felt a pinprick tingling sensation all over his body.
Glancing at the doctor next to him, Charles began to remove the bandages from his body.
When he finally dismantled it, he found that the gauze inside had been completely adhered to the bloody scab underneath.
"Sting" Charles pulled the bandage violently, a piercing pain made him tremble, he gritted his teeth, and trembled and tore the bloody bandage.
"Okay, okay, your body doesn't hurt, I look at my eyes and hurt. The doctor with a disgusted face walked over and quickly bandaged the open wound.
"Hold your black-bladed relic that can improve your recovery ability, don't remove the bandage for five days, and after five days you can go down to the ground and walk a few steps. β
Just as Charles's unwrapped arm was wrapped, Huon pushed the door open again and walked in. "Governor Charles, the Pope wants to see you. β
"Now, how?"
Charles's bed was lifted onto a wooden boat by several strong men, and quickly slid towards the glittering golden ship next to him.
Soon, in a richly decorated room, Charles saw the so-called "Pope", which was a three-meter-tall sculpture of an old man.
Its hands were empty and outstretched, and the only piece of clothing on it was a stone skirt tied around its waist.
As the debris drifted off the sculpture, the sculpture turned its body and looked at Charles on the bed with its pupilless eyes, its voice hollow and hazy, as if coming from a distant place.
"Hello, young man, I have heard about you, and everything you have done for the God of Light will be duly rewarded. β
"Is there anything you want me to do? I've already told Hunn everything I need to say,"
"Hehehe, please repeat it to me again if the Governor of Hope Island is in trouble. β
Charles looked at the sculpture in front of him with a strange look in his eyes, what the hell are the people of the Illuminati doing??
Although he was a little confused, Charles quickly told him about the situation.
After a pause, the sculpture spoke: "Well, although I don't know what you are hiding in the middle, but in the above situation, you really are not lying. β
Charles's heart suddenly tightened, this thing can test lies? No! Not only can it test lies, but it can also detect that it has hidden what the praying mantis said!
As if seeing the doubts in Charles's heart, the sculpture smiled, "I hope you will forgive me, after all, this is a very important matter related to this religion, and we have to be cautious." β
Charles's face was a little ugly, and this feeling of being spied on inside was very bad.
"Now that you've confirmed that I'm telling the truth, what do you Light Church decide to do? I judge that things are living in groups, and if you don't take action, it's hard to guarantee that they won't grow more and more. β
"Young man, what did I just say, don't scare me with fake news, I can recognize lies, don't worry, Huon is only bringing the front fleet, and soon I will use all the forces of the sect in the North Sea to go to Hope Island. Get back to the Land of Light as quickly as possible. β
Seeing Charles being carried out, Hune pressed his forehead engraved with a white triangle to the ground and prostrated there respectfully.
"Hmm...... Hunn, I see many wonderful views from him, and he doesn't seem to be one of us. β
Hunn raised his forehead to look at the sculpture. "Then the Pope, our planβ"
"Moving on, we must go to the kingdom of the gods, and as the mortal agent of the sun god, I feel that our gods are in great pain. We need to help our God. β
"As you wish, Your Holiness. β
