Chapter Ninety-One: Code's Return to Hong Kong
Kede, who had two dark circles under his eyes, shook his head vigorously, "No, it's all some dead islands, and my people have lost a lot, what about you?"
Charles raised his empty left sleeve, "Neither is the island I'm exploring." ”
An irritated Khed turned his gaze back to the charts on the table. "Then there are only a few left, and there must be a ladder through the Land of Light, or an island that the king uses to replenish his substance,"
Lily jumped onto the map and stepped on the farthest island chain with her foot, "Mr. Charles, do you think it's possible that they have a big ship and don't need supplies to go to those islands?" ”
Ted frantically pushed Lily away. "You know, it's impossible, you look at the distance between here and here, no steamship of any type in the sea can do such a long voyage, and neither can the Royal Giant, they must have a supply point. ”
Reassuring a puffed Lily, Charles handed the pen over. "Don't talk about that, let's choose the island again, the old rule is that you come first. ”
Ed first drew two crosses on the islands of the previous two circles, then redrew the other two islands, and then returned the pen to Charles.
"And what about this island?" Charles nodded at the island he had drawn last time.
"There's something wrong with that island, my boat hasn't come back, let's ignore these hard bones first, and explore the other islands that are easy to explore first. ”
Charles thought about it for a moment, and drew another circle with his pen on the uncrossed island.
Kede was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the other party to choose this island, and then, a smile appeared on his wrinkled face. "Yes, I admire Captain Charles' courage. ”
"Danger and benefit are relative, and dangerous places are most likely to have clues. ”
"So be it, you set off as soon as possible, and don't die again. ”
Kede was about to leave, but was stopped by Charles, this time by Richard. "Wait, old man, do you have any relics in your hand? ”
The next island will only become more and more dangerous, and the stronger his crew, the higher the survival rate of going to the island, and there is such a sheep next to him, and the wool is not white.
"No, my crew also needs relics, I gave those to you, what are they for?"
"Then do you Light God believers have any way to increase their strength other than the relics?" Richard doesn't care, as long as he can improve his strength, he can do anything.
Kede's expression was a little hesitant when he heard this, as if he was considering something.
Richard leaned over with a hippie smile and put his right hand on his shoulder.
"Isn't it~ It's all this time, you still have to hide your secrets? Don't forget, we're all in the same boat now, and my strength enhancement is good for everyone~"
Ted shook his head. "It's not for this reason, the Cult of Light does have a way to make an ordinary person improve his strength, but there is a premise here, it must be a believer of the God of Light, if it is not a believer of the God of Light, the acceptance ceremony will be swallowed by the holy flame. ”
Richard was still a little reluctant, "Is there really no other way?"
Kede thought silently for a while, and then said, "Your crew members are all ordinary people, and they shouldn't have used other things to improve their strength, right?"
"Nope. ”
"Okay, I remember I still have a batch of things in my hand, maybe you can use them, I'll bring them to you. ”
Richard showed a smug smile on his face, and said to Charles in his mind: "What's the matter, buddy, I have a level of wool, and I don't take advantage of the bastard~"
Soon, Charles saw what Cord had sent, a wriggling bottle of something resembling an egg yolk.
"This batch of things was auctioned off from Sodom by me, as long as you eat it, ordinary people can improve their physique, I lied that the cargo ship was missing, and I hid this batch of goods, I originally planned to sell it to provide supplies for the later exploration, and now it's yours. ”
"There are no side effects, right?" said Charles, a little wary.
"It's not that relics can have any side effects, if you don't believe me, I can ask others, there are many people who have eaten this kind of thing at sea. ”
With this kind of good thing, Charles immediately asked the rats to call everyone back from the crew, and the dozen or so people ate them all, and even Lily's rats got some.
"Huh~!Huhu~!" Deep, who was excited, raised his fists with both hands and waved them in the air, slightly curling up a strong wind.
The crew members next to them also tested their strengthened bodies.
After a few attempts, Knona looked up at Charles in some surprise and said, "Captain, this thing really works! ”
Charles clenched his fist and slammed it into the air, "Smack!" The sound he made was different from that of the other crew members, and when he waved his fist, there was even a trace of afterimage, and Charles felt a slight heat in front of his fist.
096's physical enhancement coupled with the strengthening of Kede's things, his strength has reached a higher level.
"It's okay, barely a third order. Ed judged from the sidelines.
"What determines the rank of a ship's combatants?"
"It's not up to what you can afford, it's just a rough standard among the members of the warship on Earthsea, and if you want to move up the ranks, the fastest way is to kill guys who are higher than you. ”
"What rank of strength does Sodom's 'king' have?" Charles immediately thought of the fat man, who was the most formidable enemy he had ever dealt with.
Ted shook his head. "It's hard to say, under normal circumstances, his strength is fourth-order, and he can become a "king" by relying on other things. ”
Something else? Is it talking about that little girl or is it the kind of ability that can't be killed no matter what? The physical strength of the "king" is the fourth order, so if I defeated him, it doesn't mean that my strength is the fourth order?
Thinking of this, Charles also became interested, he only cared about the exploration ship before, and he really didn't care much about the warship system in the earth sea.
"Who is the strongest man at sea right now?"
"Julio, the governor of Cat Island in the Eastern Sea, his strength is fifteenth, and I heard that this alone can defeat a fleet of thousands of people. ”
Hearing this, Charles had a doubt in his mind, "He's so powerful, why don't you explore the island?"
Ed looked at Charles with strange eyes, "Why explore? Julio already has the largest island in the Earth's Sea, why would he go to death, and he may not be able to compare to you and me in such things as exploring unknown islands." ”
Charles's mind quickly flashed through the several islands he had explored, and found that this was indeed the case, and the strength was only relative to other human beings, and for all kinds of strange existences in the sea, the strength might not be able to take advantage of much.
"Don't pay attention to these guys, they are all ignorant mortals, no matter how powerful they are, they are just some low-level animals driven by desire, only by finding the land of light and entering the kingdom of the god of light, we humans can get eternal happiness and peace. ”
