Chapter 40: The Sect of Light

As soon as Charles walked into the Explorers' Association, he saw an unexpected scene. The previously deserted hall is now bustling.

All kinds of sofas and coffee tables are placed randomly, and men and women in various marine attire stand or sit in groups of three or four, and there is a lot of voices.

There were also many guys in the crowd who obviously didn't eat at sea, and they whispered around the captains.

Charles skipped from the crowd and went to the counter to hand over the task. The voice in his ear let him know that those people were here to entrust the task.

"Hey! Charles! Come here." The inexplicably excited William waved the wine bottle in his hand, surrounded by several captains who had met once.

Seeing Charles looking this way, Elizabeth snorted coldly and turned her head to the other side.

As soon as Charles walked over, William hooked his shoulder enthusiastically. "My friend, that knife of yours works so well!"

The pungent smell on William's body made Charles feel a little uncomfortable. He pushed William's arm away and said, "Is it a powerful relic?"

He had previously sold two of William's unidentified relics. It seems that William looks like he has made a lot of money.

"Well, very powerful, as good as it gets! I pretended to accidentally give that knife to my nemesis, and guess what? He killed his entire ship, hahaha!!!"

Looking at William who was laughing wildly, Charles felt a little absurd. Could the relic still be used like this? ?

The fat man next to him came over and bumped Charles with his arm, "I heard you went to sea again? Did you encounter anything interesting? Tell me and listen."

Charles subconsciously recalled the arm protruding from the bottom of the sea, and he forced a smile on his face. "There is nothing to say, some crew members died, and the mission failed."

"Tell me, talk about it. Why did you come here and you didn't talk to each other? Wouldn't it be nice if you had the time to go to the casino and win wildly?"

Charles couldn't hold back them, and finally began to tell everything that happened before, the giant butterfly, the palm, and the Dark Crystal Island.

Hearing what happened to Charles, the other captains all lamented Charles' good luck. After encountering so many dangerous things, he was able to come back alive.

"Oh~, Stark is not so lucky." The fat man said casually.

"Who is Stark?"

"If that kid knows that you don't even know his name, he will probably come back alive. He and Elizabeth tied you here before, have you forgotten?"

Charles immediately remembered the big, cheerful man with small pupils. "he died?"

The fat man nodded, grabbed the blue fruit with his hand and took a bite, then continued: "Isn't it normal for dead people to die? In fact, this month is not bad, only 7 people died."

Charles scanned everyone's faces and found that there was no sadness on their faces, and they were chatting with natural expressions.

Charles has a deeper understanding of the concept of taking his life before,

After being silent for a while, he said to the other captains, "Everyone, how much do you know about the city of Sodom?"

This is the purpose of his visit today. He has only heard the name of that unknown place, and now he needs more clues.

As soon as the words were finished, everyone turned their eyes to the middle-aged man with a dark complexion and a hooked nose in the corner.

"Charlie used to be a pirate, you can ask him." William raised his head and took a sip of his wine.

"I can only tell you that the place is messy. Don't go there if you have nothing to do. If you are weaker, you will go there and seek death." Charlie's voice was as low as ever.

"Then have you ever heard of someone selling sunshine over there?"

Hearing Charles' inquiry, Charlie shook his head.

"No?" Charles was a little nervous.

"I don't know, maybe there is or maybe not, that place sells everything as long as there is money. When you arrive in Sodom, you can go to the anchor bar and ask the bartender, and they will say that the sea dog introduced you, that is my friend."

"Thank you." Charles looked at Charlie with a hint of gratitude. Most people probably don't know this kind of information, and it is a kind of favor for him to give it to himself.

The fat man next to him elbowed Charles, leaned over and said in a low voice: "He is optimistic about you, the guy who can meet the "God" and come back alive has a limitless future."

Charles laughed dryly. Who can say this kind of thing accurately, and who can guarantee that he will survive to the end in this kind of ghost place? He is an ordinary person who is just working hard.

The active atmosphere returned to before. Charles drank and ate snacks with these people, and the relationship became much closer.

He picked up a round cake on the table and took a bite. The fluffy bread with sweet butter tastes surprisingly good. This is the first time I have eaten such delicate food after being in this world for so many years.

After eating the food in his hand, just when Charles was thinking about retreating, an ordinary-looking young man leaned over. "Captain Charles?"

Charles turned his head to look at the comer. The guy who came was wearing a red robe, with a bright white triangle painted on his forehead, and his dress was completely different from the other captains around him.

"Who are you……?"

"My name is Sonny, and I'm an explorer like you."

Elizabeth, who had been ignoring Charles, coughed, dipped her finger in the wine, and drew a few horizontal lines on the table.

When he saw the semaphore representing the danger away, Charles's vigilance instantly increased.

"I heard that Mr. Charles is looking for the Land of Light? Why didn't I see you at church?"

Light religion? Charles immediately gave up pretending, stood up and was about to leave.

In the next second, Sonny's body flashed and stopped in front of Charles.

"Mr. Charles is a radical Protestantism?? In fact, you are wrong. You have misinterpreted the oracle of the sun god. The original teaching is the truth. The land of light is nothingness and cannot be found. We must pray sincerely and frequently. Only when the prayer ceremony is held, the sun god will return again."

Listening to these absurd words, Charles really didn't know how to communicate. He didn't know where the oracle in these guys' mouths came from, but he was sure that the oracle could never come from the big fireball in the sky.

"Sorry, I wasn't taught by you, please get out of the way, please."

Sonny looked a little surprised, "If you weren't taught by the Sun God, why did you look for the Land of Light?"

"I won't look for it now, goodbye." After Charles finished speaking, he walked around Sonny and walked towards the door.

The white mark on Sonny's forehead lit up, and from inside his robe, a mass of translucent bruise-like fluid quickly enveloped Charles. "How about we go talk somewhere else?"

Charles' face turned cold, and the revolver in his right hand was already pointing at his head.
