Chapter 536 Surface
"Woo~~" "Woo~" The siren sounded continuously throughout the pier of Ancha Island.
The first batch of explorers were all doing simultaneous actions at this time, with their heads up and their mouths open, looking at the huge black hole above their heads in shock.
Although they have already received this amazing news from the Governor of Hope Island, hearing it from others and actually seeing it are completely different things.
"My God, is there really such a big hole in the top? So there are really other worlds outside?"
"I heard from others that we are actually living in a ball, and if we drill out from this place, we are outside the ball."
"What kind of ball can hold so many things? You believe what others say? You guys have been tricked by a liar."
Standing on his deck with two beards, Joseph looked at the huge hole above with a serious expression, thinking about something in his heart.
"Look who this is? Isn't this Joseph? You're here too?"
Joseph turned his head to look in the direction of the voice, and when he saw the boy wearing a black eyepatch with a double gold nose ring on his right side, his expression suddenly became slightly distorted.
He knew this guy. When he robbed a merchant ship three years ago, it was this guy named Wilson who suddenly appeared and stole the cargo worth 2 million echoes! He even killed his first mate!
"Ah, ah, what are you doing? Do you want to do something? The Governor of Hope Island is watching from a distance. This is not a sea where nobody cares."
Joseph, who took out the relic, glanced at the Narwhal not far away, and the huge warships next to it, and forced himself to hold back the anger in his heart.
"Boy! Don't let me see you on the surface! Or you will die!!" Joseph threatened through gritted teeth.
"Sorry, I don't have time to play games with you. I'm here to make money. The benefit of going to explore the island once is worth it, but I've explored the island several times."
While they were talking, a purple-painted exploratory steamship slowly approached nearby.
"Wilson, you kid is still so greedy. The sea has completely submerged the island. What's the use of giving more money? I'm afraid you're going to make money but not spend it."
The person who spoke was a pregnant woman with a big belly. She wore revealing clothes and heavy makeup. She didn't look like a captain, but those women who came out to sell in the port area.
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, I didn't die alone. The whole world will go with me. Death is worth it."
While they were chatting, the loudspeaker of the battleship next to them blared loudly. "All explorers disembark and gather at the Governor's Mansion on Ancha Island. The surface airship will leave in 6 hours, and go in batches!"
That was the order of the governor of Hope Island, and the exploration captains immediately followed suit, and they already knew their purpose before they came.
The explorers are very familiar with Governor Charles of Hope Island, the governor who has his own island and is still exploring the island, the most powerful governor in the North Sea.
The explorers are all envious of his experience. Being able to occupy an island alive and continue to occupy other islands is their ultimate goal.
On the pier, the sound of iron anchors smashing into the sea continued to sound, and all the captains walked towards the rudimentary Governor's Mansion of Ancha Island.
Soon, on a high platform, they saw the Governor of Hope Island, standing in front of a black stick with a wire attached.
Black hair and black pupils are very rare. The scar on his face makes him look a bit hostile. His left arm is a mechanical prosthesis, and there seems to be something wrong with his right eye. It is not ordinary black and white, but black and red.
The captains looked at Charles and whispered, talking about the legends of the northern seas.
"Everyone!" The loud voice was released from the loudspeaker next to it, instantly suppressing everyone's voices.
Charles helped the microphone in front of him, and continued to talk: "I have already told you all the details on the way here, so I won't repeat them here, and please use your full strength. This exploration is about The life and death of everyone in Earthsea."
Before Charles could continue to speak, he saw a hand stretched out from the crowd. "Any questions?"
The one who raised his hand was Wilson with a nose ring. Even in the face of the famous Charles, he was still as frivolous as before.
"Dear Governor, did the God of Light who killed so many people in Earth Sea really die on it? Is it a hundred times more dangerous than exploring the island?"
"No one knows about this kind of thing. Are you afraid? Don't worry, this is not using you as cannon fodder. I will go with you on this exploration."
Wilson smiled, "If you were afraid, you wouldn't be an explorer. I just want to ask, in addition to the rewards for ordinary exploration, if we help you find the darkness you said, is it really the same as you said before?" As you said, the final reward of having three islands?"
"That's right, this sentence is always valid, as long as anyone can find the darkness, not only will there be rewards of three islands, but these three will always belong to the discoverer."
"Anyone's attack on these three islands will be blocked by me, Julio, and Patriarch Harhold. This is what we have promised together."
The explorers became excited when they heard this. After all, who can become an explorer, who would not want to have their own island.
In particular, this island will always belong to me and my descendants.
"Cough~!" Charles' clear cough suppressed everyone's discussion.
"I want to say it better. The premise is that we can return Earthsea to its original state. If we can't get back the lost darkness within three years, then all of us will die!"
"I don't know if this is the earth, but what I know is that we are likely to be the last batch of humans here. If all of us die, then humans, our entire species will completely cease to exist!"
As soon as Charles said this jargon, the surroundings suddenly became silent, and this sentence was like a huge stone pressing down on everyone's hearts. The extinction of human beings is too serious.
Charles spoke again about the details of going to the surface and various precautions. Just as the speech was coming to an end, there was a special sound in the sky.
As soon as everyone looked up, they saw two airships with airbags hanging on them, slowly descending from the black hole in the sky. "The boat is coming! Everyone get ready!"
The summoned explorers lined up, and with their own crew members, boarded the huge airship in an orderly manner.
There are too many people, and the number of airships is not enough, so they can only go to the surface in batches. Fortunately, the things needed to go to the surface are not long, and it only takes 6 hours at the speed of the airship.
The 6-hour wait was depressing, especially in such a dark tunnel. After walking out of the long passage, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Outside the surface, a simple fortress has been built beside this giant pit with a length of tens of kilometers. Some engineers and soldiers are constantly repairing this military facility. The name of this fortress is simply called the Giant Pit Fortress, which was given by Charles.
There are not many people in the fortress, and the most are the rows of brand new cars, which are the means of transportation for explorers.
