Chapter 241 Set Sail

Soon, Charles saw the Pope's seemingly benevolent smile.

The statue moved, and the Pope's eyes flicked to the papers on Charles' desk.

He made a light move with one hand, and the paper flew into his hand. "Are you also paying attention to the battle between the governors? What do you think of their current situation?"

"Shouldn't I ask you this question? The person behind Swan is obviously you."

The paper in Pope's hand was casually thrown away by him. "My child, you don't believe me, you still don't believe me, so what now? All your preparations have failed. I told you a long time ago that this is none of your business. "

Obviously, he was talking about Charles' naval preparations, and Hope Island's strategic planning could not escape his eyes.

"You once said that this is part of the plan, so tell me, what is your purpose? I feel that our two purposes are not the same."

A trace of dust shook off the Pope as he shook his head.

"That's an important plan of this religion. Unless you are willing to join the Light God Sect, I can't tell you otherwise. Don't forget, our common goal is to find a place of light."

Charles sneered in his heart, he knew this guy would say that, and it would be completely meaningless to talk to him. "Did you come to see me for something?"

"This battle is over, the anxiety in your heart should dissipate, right? It's time to go to sea to find the next island."

Charles thought quickly, "It seems that Swan will be honest for a while, and his plan was disrupted by Julio. If he really frees up his hands, it is revenge for him. Hope Island's crisis is over."

"I'm going to sail right away after finishing some things."

"Very well, Governor Charles, please try to keep your attention where you need it. As for other things, it is someone else's business. God loves the world, and may the Holy Light of the God of Light shine on your soul."

After the Pope finished speaking, he turned into an immobile sculpture again, allowing other believers to push him outside.

Charles couldn't figure out what the Pope's operation meant, and he didn't look like he had ambitions to occupy the sea.

Swan's radicalism will inevitably lead to resistance from other forces. In this situation, no one has benefited.

But one thing the pope said was right, that is, he really wanted to continue to go to sea, and the stay this time was long enough.

If that foundation member is not lying, then the surface exit is waiting for him on the main island of the foundation.

"Lily, send your friend to inform the others to prepare, and we will set off in three days."

Facing the governor's departure again, I hope that no one on the island will be surprised. If Governor Charles suddenly stops going to sea one day, it will be called big news.

Looking at those companions who were drinking and bragging with themselves some time ago, and now they actually joined the governor's ship, many people just envied those who were selected.

As lucky as West, there are two other people, a second-wheel manager and a big-wheel manager.

As for the big wheel tube of the Narwhal, which has been upgraded to chief engineer, the smiles on the faces of each of them have not fallen since they hung up.

The only thing that can make them so happy is the piles of Echo Coins. The Governor personally told them that the salary of the Narwhal is three times that of other exploration ships.

And as long as they can assist the governor to complete the goal, they will get an entire house in the center of the island.

James stood on the pier with a complicated expression, watching his former companions walk towards the boat. He used to be one of them, but now he can only watch from the side.

"Crack." A steel palm stretched out from behind and patted James' broad shoulder. "The people on the island are getting a little impetuous. Take good care of the island for me, and don't let people take advantage of it. I don't trust others."

"Captain, don't worry, as long as I live for a day! I will definitely complete your mission!!" James said with a very firm expression.

Charles smiled, and after hitting his strong chest with his hand, he turned and walked towards the Narwhal. "Anchor! Set sail!!"

As the sailors struggled to turn the windlass, the heavy iron chain with rust was slowly pulled out from the water.

"Woo~~" As the Narwhal made a low whistle, it drove the crew on the deck towards the dark sea.

"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers! Great news from Earthsea, Governor Julio and Governor Swan have peace talks for the first time, I want to know what they talked about, come and buy a morning newspaper, two copies of one!! Sell newspapers, sell newspapers !"

A newsboy wearing a peaked cap waved the newspaper in his hand and shouted loudly on the street.

"Give me one." The voice was hoarse with deep sadness.

"Okay, lady, here's your paper, two responses."

The newsboy handed the brand-new newspaper that smelled of ink to Margaret, who wrapped herself tightly in a robe.

"Ma'am, you are so beautiful! You are the most beautiful person I have ever seen." The newsboy jumped away after saying that.

A trace of bitterness appeared on Margaret's face, "Is it pretty? What's the use of being pretty? Can being pretty help my family get revenge..."

After a pause, she picked up the newspaper in her hand and read it.

After reading the newspaper quickly, her eyes became darker and darker.

Governor Julio actually sat down to make peace, and the only hope of revenge disappeared.

Thinking of the scene where her father and brother desperately sent her out, Margaret's heart ached like a knife.

"Father, brother..." Margaret bit her lip and walked towards the residence.

If I had directly asked Charles for help at that time, maybe the situation between my father and my brother would have been completely different.

But because of that ridiculous emotion, she ran back without looking back, completely forgetting her purpose of coming to Hope Island.

She felt deeply remorseful. All this seems to be caused by itself. "Why did this happen... Why did I refuse to agree to my father's marriage request? Maybe Cavendish has an ally, and the ending will be different."

Back to the small building wrapped up by herself, Margaret walked in with difficult steps.

At this time, she was very confused, she didn't know what to do, and she didn't know how to face the next situation.

Almost instinctively, she walked towards her mother's room. Now she suddenly longed for her mother's embrace very much. She wanted to hide in that warm embrace and never come out.

Along the cold corridor, she walked to a bedroom, her soft lips trembling slightly asked: "Master, what should we do next?"

As the pearl of He Fangdao, no one told her what to do next in this situation.

There was no sound in the room, as if there was no one in it.

"Master, I'm so scared now... are you there? Can you... can you hug me?"

Just as her slender fingers touched the wooden door, she found that the door was only ajar.

"Crack~" The door opened, and Margaret's body twitched violently like an electric shock.

Her mother, Karita, was lying on her side on the bed, with blood dripping from the blood hole in her temple, and the murder weapon was a revolver in her hand.
