Mysteries of the Earthsea

Chapter 236 James' Retirement

Charles leaned back on the seat and looked at the letter paper in his hand, "Why did Anna say that? Is the relative she mentioned herself?"

Sometimes, he couldn't figure out what this woman was thinking. Charles knew that she would not harm him, but she always had her own thoughts in her heart.

Charles opened the left drawer and put the photos in. There were also valuables such as mobile phones and wallets in it.

He picked up a piece of letter paper again, and began to write a reply to Anna. After expressing his thoughts at the beginning, he then asked her to expand the navy of the crown of the world as much as possible.

The current situation in Earth Sea is not clear, if the crown of the world is breached, try to rush here as much as possible.

Charles didn't directly convert it into a telegram code, which was too unobtrusive. He sent someone to send it by boat. Chinese characters are natural encryption codes.

After everything came to an end, Charles cleared his mind of thoughts and started the work of Governor of Hope Island.

Some daily decisions have been made, and now the solution is that there are always some people who are not afraid of death to engage in activities that are prohibited by laws and regulations. Do you really think that being more secretive can fool the rats?

Could it be that the mummy hanging on the giant tree is all fake?

Charles ticked off the various names recorded, and reached out to the waiting mouse. "Send these to Dipper, that kid knows how to do it."

He hung his hand in mid-air but no one answered it for a long time. When Charles looked up, he saw colorful mice all tilting their heads and looking at him in confusion.

"Mr. Charles, have you forgotten? Dipper has turned into a monster, and he hasn't come back yet." Lily whispered with her ears down.

Charles paused and sighed slightly, and put the letter back in his hand.

"Mr. Charles, are you sad? Is your heart hurting very much now?" Lily jumped over and asked.

He cast a glance at his own gunner. "He's not my woman, why am I hurt? It's just a pity, stop talking nonsense, who is in charge of the Security Bureau now that Di Pu is not here?"

"The other two deputy directors are in charge. They are all under Di Pu's subordinates, but the person you drew just now also has a director."

Charles opened the paper and quickly found the names, which was a bad sign.

As governor, he must ensure the loyalty of the police and navy.

The navy is okay, there is a group of captains who have shared weal and woe, but the police station, without Di Pu, has to find another person to control the scene.

But at this time, Charles was in a dilemma. There were not many people he could trust, and he was almost cut off from the entire administration of Hope Island.

"We must find another suitable candidate." Charles muttered to himself.

Seeing Charles' appearance, Lily next to him hesitated and said: "Mr. Charles, how about the big man?? Actually, my friend heard that the big man seemed to be angry and quarreled with his wife. His wife didn't want him to go to sea. Maybe he can Let him be the chief."

Charles opened his eyes slightly, and immediately realized why James' wife didn't want him to take risks.

No wife wants her husband to live a precarious life.

Before, they were willing to go to the mysterious island to explore because they had nothing, and they risked their lives to create a future.

But now that they have occupied a prosperous island, they are definitely willing to stay on the island again compared to the dangerous open sea.

Looking at the paper filled with various names in front of him, Charles thought for a while and said to Lily, "Let James come here."

Rats are fast. James immediately appeared in front of Char, "Captain, are you calling me?"

Looking at the huge hat with a big brim on his head, Charles asked, "What have you been doing?"

"It's nothing, nothing to do today, I went to the Ministry of Agriculture to check, I heard that a new plant was discovered."

Looking carefully at his chief engineer, he suddenly found that the other party had really changed a lot.

"Dipper can't come back, you can take over everything about him on the island."

James froze for a moment, then nodded. "Oh, I'll try my best when I'm not out at sea."

Charles shook his head, "What I'm talking about is that you retire from the Narwhal and help me manage the police station on the island in the future."

As soon as he heard Charles say this, James suddenly became anxious. "Did Moxica tell you something?"

"It's none of your wife's business. Dipper is gone. The police power on the island has been vacated. I need you to take it over."

James, with some blue veins on his neck, took a step forward, "Captain! I know why you did this, but you saved my life twice! I will never leave you when you need it!"

Charles pressed down with his hand, "Don't be so excited, we are not the same as before."

"Nothing is different, I will always be the chief engineer of the Narwhal!"

"It's really different. We are not outlaws anymore, and you are different from me. You still have children. Are you really willing to let her have no father at such a young age?"

Seeing James froze in place uncertainly, Charles walked over and patted him on the shoulder.

"Hope Island also needs you. This is our common home. When I go to sea, you help me look after it."

"But I may not be qualified for the position of Director of Hope Island."

"No matter how incompetent you are, can't you even compare to that daredevil Dipper? You have been the Minister of Agriculture, and you are also in management. The difference is not very big."

James hesitated for a long time in the Governor's Mansion, and finally he turned and walked out.

Looking at the tall figure, for some reason, Charles seemed to feel a little down.

Forcing his companions who have been with him day and night to retire, Charles also felt a little uncomfortable.

But no one is static.

The purpose of the crew of the exploration ship is to find a living island to live the life of the people on the island. Now that they have reached their goal, it is meaningless to force them to stay.

Just like himself, if one day he returns to the surface again, then his journey should be over.

Charles tapped on the table with his steel fingers, and his mind quickly ran through the rest of the crew in his mind.

The first mate Bandage wants to go to the surface to find his own life experience.

The ship doctor wanted to go to the surface to repair his tablet and learn what his predecessors wanted to keep.

Orderic the sailor only cared about having blood to drink, and he preferred staying on board a ship to a sunny island.

As for Linda, she seems to have been following Ke De's orders.

Charles soon discovered that luckily the others didn't need to change their words, they all had different goals while staying on the boat.

But James left, Dipper left again, and with the addition of a few people who had died before, the number of Narwhals was reduced by more than half, and it was time to fill in some newcomers.
