Chapter 510: Method (Part 2)

Charles looked at Anna speechlessly, "You women can't have anything else in your mind besides love?"

"Then why did you spend so much energy finding a way to save her? Is the little mouse important to you?" Anna looked at Charles with a smile.

"That's because she is my gunner, the crew member who was born and died with me!"

"It's okay, it's okay, I didn't say anything, so how are you going to save that little mouse?"

Hearing this, Charles sighed slightly, "I don't have a clue, Lily's matter is not that simple. The Pope used the power of the entire church before but couldn't find a solution. It is estimated that he could not find it by conventional methods."

"Hey ~ think about it slowly, I have something to do and I'm leaving first." Anna put her hands on Charles's face lightly, then turned and walked towards the door.

Just as the wood-grained door was opened a crack, Anna's tentacles quickly stretched out and rolled outward.

With a scream, Lily, who was eavesdropping outside, was wrapped in her hands. "Pick up your little mouse, and be careful not to be eaten by the cat."

Charles stretched out his tentacles, gently supporting Lily who was flying towards him in mid-air.

"Good morning, Mr. Charles." Lily smiled awkwardly at Charles.

"What's up here?" Charles asked.

Lily glanced at Anna who was leaving, then shook her head vigorously. "No, I haven't seen you for a long time, come and see you."

Charles ran his hands over her smooth hair and put her on his shoulders. "From now on, you can just come in directly from me, you don't need to hide, you are not a real mouse."

"Um!"

After Lily smiled sweetly at Charles, she spoke again: "By the way, Mr. Charles, can you fix that roller coaster in the backyard? It's rusted and unusable."

"Roller coaster?" Charles was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately realized that what she was talking about was the mini roller coaster he made to satisfy her wish.

"Let's go, let's go and have a look." Charles led Lily to the backyard.

As soon as he arrived in the backyard, he saw that the mini roller coaster, which looked like a four-wheel drive track, was already covered with rust and covered with dust.

But this is also normal. Since Lily's death, this place has been completely scrapped, and the previous Charles naturally wouldn't come to this sad place.

With some shipbuilding engineers called in, oiling, oiling, and rust removal, soon the entire coaster was brand new.

Amidst Lily's screams, the place became alive again, and the mice surrounded it one after another.

Charles looked at Lily around and around, with a faint smile on his face. Sometimes he was really envious of Lily. The mouse's body not only restrained her body but also restrained her mind.

Although she is almost 16 according to her age, she still looks childish now.

When I was young, I always wanted to grow up, but when I grew up, I realized that it was always better when I was a child.

While Charles was watching the roller coaster go round and round, he suddenly noticed that the background in the distance was a little different.

"Huh? What's that?" Charles looked over the roller coaster and looked at a swaying tower behind it.

The black tower was gradually rising, more than ten meters, twenty meters, thirty meters, and finally passed through the greenhouse and came into the sun.

Looking at the building that is still being upgraded, Charles flashed the plan for the rock formation high-speed rail that Gordon had told himself before.

"Is this the beginning of construction?" Charles murmured.

I haven't received this reminder recently, it seems that this plan was approved by Anna.

Just when everyone on the island was attracted by this amazing building, the tall tower suddenly started to shake.

Immediately after everyone's exclamation, the tower fell obliquely, stirring up waves of dust.

"I failed..." Charles wasn't very upset about this. Things that no one has done before must be piled up by failure.

Now that Anna has taken over, he doesn't need to worry about this matter.

A little bit of time passed, and Charles waited patiently for the information about the Fortan Church from the naval intelligence department.

Fortunately, Earthsea's telegraph network gradually recovered, and just as Elizabeth reluctantly boarded and left, all the general information of the Fortan Church appeared on Charles' desktop.

Under the bright crystal lamp, Charles, who was frowning tightly, put down the finished paper in his hand.

Just as he thought, the situation of the Fortan Cult was not much better after two catastrophes. The population has dropped sharply, and their influence in Earthsea has been rapidly reduced.

The current Fortan Cult can only shrink back to their headquarters and slowly recover.

And in order to restore the population as much as possible, the Twelve-member Council of the Fortan Church promulgated a ten-year prohibition of sacrifices, as well as canons such as fertility rewards.

It is possible to force a cult that sacrifices living people to make such a decision, and one can guess how critical their situation is.

But this also judges from the side that their rulers are very shrewd, they are just lunatics but not fools, if they really want the other party, they must be very careful.

"Shushasha~" Charles' pen quickly recorded on the white paper, one side is all the power that Hope Island can use at present, and the other side is the strength possessed by the Fortan Church.

Charles took all kinds of situations into consideration, even including the possibility that they would borrow the power of the deep divers, and the belief in the giant bird of suffering, who also hated the Fortanism, would make things worse.

After a long time, Charles put down the pen in his hand. He looked at the things in front of him and scratched his hair with his hands a little irritably.

The overall strength of the two sides is relatively evenly matched. If there is a real battle, the casualties will be very heavy, and this is still without taking into account the trump card of the Fortan Cult.

In this case, it is very irrational to act rashly.

"Could it be that the task of rescuing the crew has run aground?"

Charles thought for a while and stood up and walked towards the nursing home. As soon as he entered the door, he heard the sound of ghosts crying and wolves inside.

The symptoms of the crew members seemed to start to change, but no matter how they changed, they were only crazy or even crazier.

Aliya, the deputy director of Hope Island, is also there. She has always been tough in front of outsiders. When she saw Dipper in the water frantically clasping the scales on her body, her sharp eyes softened, full of excitement. grief.

She heard footsteps behind her, and quickly wiped away her tears with her hands and turned her head to look.

Although Aliya covered it up quickly, Charles could still see a trace of hatred in her eyes.

"You don't need to hide anything, Dipper was the one who made it like this, you should be cruel to me."

Aliya turned her head and looked at the crazy husband inside the glass with a complicated expression. "I'm sorry, my lord governor, seeing him like this really hurts my heart."

"I love him very much, very, very much. I have always felt that a woman like me is not good enough for him. The day when he proposed to me was the happiest moment in my life."
