Chapter 160: Purpose
"Don't worry, the Governor won't do that. Charles said to the man in front of him
"How do you know you're the Governor?" the passerby looked disdainfully at the guy in front of him who didn't even have an eyebrow on his face.
"Of course he isβ" Lily was about to retort, but Charles pressed her back.
"Let's go, let's go look elsewhere. Charles turned and walked out of the square.
There's no point in arguing with him, and when the new law is put back on the billboard, he'll understand.
Charles continued to walk forward with Lily, and the two of them crossed the square to the so-called center of the island.
Of course, due to the lack of building materials, the situation in the center of the island is not much better than before, but the people here are better dressed.
In addition to the staff who served the Governor's Palace, the people who lived here were the exploration crew who worked hard with Charles in the first place.
The scarcity of the population makes the place seem a little empty, except for some houses, and some stones are placed in some open spaces.
"What is this?" Charles took out and looked at it, and found something carved into the stone. "John 3"
"Mr. Charles, I know this, and Hopping told me that everyone will mark this as his land with these stones, and when the shipping route is opened, they will build a lot of houses here, and then rent out these houses to make money. β
"Oh, this is the first time I've seen you. Charles put the stone back in his hand.
At this time, Charles suddenly saw that the guy walking over from the opposite side was a little familiar.
That's Frey, the chef on the narwhal. At this time, he hugged two sexy women left and right, talking and laughing as he walked.
Tall and thin, he stood between two plump women, and the scene seemed a little funny.
"Mr. Cook!" Lily shouted, drawing Frey's attention.
As soon as he saw that it was his captain, Frey showed a hint of surprise on his face and quickly ran over. "Captain, are you healed?"
"Much better. Charles, he pointed to the woman next to him, "Who are these two?"
Frey said with a smile on his face: "As soon as I came home four days ago, they stood at the door and waited for me, begging me to let her be my wife. β
"I can't see it, did the two of them come here to see you become the heart of the island?"
"Yes, but isn't that a great thing? Captain, do you know that this woman's skin is so soft to the touch, much softer than the ones sold on the street, I don't believe you can touch it. β
"I didn't see Lily still there, what are you talking about?" said Charles, frowning slightly.
Noticing the white mouse on Charles's palm, Frey was suddenly a little embarrassed. "Lily, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. β
"How's things going on the island? Nothing happened, did you?"
"You mean the Treasury Department of the Governor's Palace? Don't worry, I'm absolutely fine. I'm trying. β
Speaking of this, Frey paused for a moment and said with some hesitation: "Captain, we are all our own people, you know my affairs, I don't know anything else except cooking, this kind of key place, you'd better find someone else, I'm really afraid of making a mess." β
"If you don't do this, then what are you going to do?"
Ferry's eyes glared at the boss, "Captain, why do you have to do something, can't you have fun all day long?
"What about the Land of Light, and you're not going to go?"
Frey smiled. "Captain, if it is really according to what you say, it is actually no worse to keep up with the above than below, and there may not be such a woman sent to the door above, you say. β
Charles stared at him firmly, a gaze that made Frey's heart a little hairy. "Captain, did I do something wrong?"
"Nothing, you're doing a good job. Charles took Lily and turned away.
Charles walked down the street towards his crew's quarters. He discovers that the island is more corrosive to the crew than he thought.
Most of the crew members can't wait to start their imaginary life as the people of the island.
Looking at their pompous appearance, a word popped into Charles' mind, nouveau riche.
Of course, not everyone is so depraved, the doctor huddles in his room all day and night, not knowing what to do, and the bandage is fully engaged in the construction of the navy on Hope Island.
In the end, Charles found his chief engineer, James, in a banana field.
Tall James, wearing a huge hat, carefully examined the leaves of the banana trees in the field.
Seeing Charles waving to him, James greeted him with a simple smile on his face, "Captain, are your injuries healed? β
"Not bad. I just saw you so carefully, do you know anything about this?"
"Well, in fact, my grandfather took me to plant ryegrass, but then my grandfather had a serious illness, and the employer didn't want me anymore. I had no choice but to come to sea to be a sailor. β
"Really, have any women climbed into your bed?"
"What do you say, captain, that I am married, and that my wife has a child in her belly. β
When it comes to the child from which he was born, James' face is full of happiness. "I really want to see them right away, I should have given birth now, and I don't know if it's a boy or a girl. β
Charles looked at his smile, thought for a moment and said, "Do you want your wife and children to be by your side?"
"Huh. James scratched his head embarrassedly, he suddenly thought of something, and quickly put his hand down, his face straightened.
"Mr. Charles, don't worry, I can drop everything and get back on deck if you need it!"
Charles shook his head. "No need, it's over, stay on the island, you really want to help me and get the agriculture on the island of hope right." β
Without waiting for James to reply, Charles turned and left, this time not turning to the straw hut, but walking in the sun.
Charles in the sun is separated from the others in the straw hut.
Sensing Charles's change in mood, Lily raised her little head to look at him.
"Mr. Charles, are you not happy?"
"How can it be, it's just a little emotional, everyone is very happy and happy, and they don't go to the sea anymore to be afraid. β
Charles always thought that he and the crew were the same kind of people, full of impatient longing for the surface,
But in the end, they are not surface people, and they can't understand their own desires.
Women, families, money, everything they need has been found, and the Land of Light is just a dispensable place for them now.
Charles turned his head to look at the dark sea beside him, and he suddenly felt that everything that had happened in the past nine years was like a dream.
"Don't worry, Mr. Charles, I will always follow you wherever you go. Lily hugged Charles's coat and leaned on her little head.
Charles ran his hand through Lily's hair and looked up at the crack in the sunlight in the air. "This dream is finally waking up. β
