Chapter 574

"It is said to be three years, but we only have two years at most. If we wait until the island is completely submerged by sea water, even if we really get the darkness back, it will not help." Charles frowned slightly and said to Harhold in front of him. .

"Well, it is true. That's why we will cooperate with each other. By the way, I heard that the dark clues have been found above? How is the progress?"

"We can now go to the Explorers Association for this question. There is a map there, which can be shown to you more intuitively."

Harhold nodded, raised his heels behind Charles, and walked towards the Exploration Society.

There was a constant stream of people coming and going in the lobby of the Explorers Association, and most of the exploration captains handed over tasks. The noisy inside is no different from the vegetable market.

The map of the surface was hung on the wall, and its scope expanded even larger. There were also various icons on it, marking the dangerous areas.

The number of icons due to the west is gradually increasing, and the imprints on them clear the way for the explorers behind.

"Look here, the fastest exploration team is close to 500 kilometers, and the progress is very fast." Charles looked up and pointed at the map.

"What are those red arrows?"

"Each arrow represents an explorer who has not returned, and this map is laid out by human lives."

Harhold nodded in satisfaction, "Finally, we know where our people and supplies in the western sea region are going. You must know that the life below is getting worse and worse, and everything is on the top."

Charles looked at the map in front of him solemnly, "But everything is worth it for ourselves, this is our only hope."

After thinking for a while, Harhold asked Charles again: "By the way, when do you plan to leave the port again? If you have time, some of the people from the West Sea would like to see you."

Charles looked around vigilantly, and explorers in various costumes came and went by him. "This kind of thing can't be said here. It's impossible for the Fortan Sect to let it go so easily."

Harhold nodded. "Indeed, after what happened last time, it's good to be vigilant."

"Let's go, let's go to the side compartment." Charles led Harhold into the counter next to him, and walked into the heavily guarded compartment inside.

This is where the Explorers' Guild is dedicated to talking about big things.

"In fact, I really found something, and I plan to look for it next time I sail. My sailing plan for this time is not shown on the map above, so as not to be discovered by others." Charles sat on the sofa in the compartment down.

"Dark clues? Really?" Harhold looked very nervous.

After a glance, Charles reached out and took out a photo from his pocket. "Maybe forget it. This time, maybe we can find another witness of the death of the God of Light."

Harhold held out his wrinkled right hand to hold the photo.

The place shown above looks like a Gobi Desert, no different from the Gobi Desert in the Giant Pit Fortress.

But the Gobi Desert, which should have been flat, was full of potholes, and there were two rolled marks printed on it, which looked like they had been turned over by a huge plow, and the marks stretched to the end of the photo.

"What is this...?" Harhold asked in surprise.

"The trace of 068's movement, when the God of Light reshaped his body, he also brought it in. Judging from this trace, this guy has started his new journey again."

Charles didn't forget that 068, a city formed by the relics of the Foundation, should know something about the creatures above. It would be great if he could learn from them what exactly killed the God of Light.

"Do you have to do this by yourself? Others can't?"

It was difficult for Charles to explain to him the fact that 068 was a computer, and only he knew the people on it best.

"The Explorers Association has sent some people there, but the place is not simple, I think it's better to go there in person, after all, I have dealt with them once."

All the wrinkles on Harhold's face lifted into a smile. "Very good, as long as there are clues, you can go with peace of mind, I will leave this place to me."

"Well, I will let the person in charge of the Jukeng Fortress hand over to you, so that your people can integrate as soon as possible. I heard that people in the Western Sea Region have many rules, but I hope you can restrain yourself. This is not for tourism."

Harhold returned the photo in his hand to Charles, "Of course, of course, everything must be set back now, and saving Earthsea is the most important thing."

Harhold and Charles walked out of the secret room again. After dealing with some details, Charles left quietly in the early morning of the third day.

After suffering the loss of the last time, this time Charles' itinerary has been kept absolutely confidential. Except for the high-level members of the Explorers' Association, no one knows which direction they are going.

The Gobi Desert on the surface is astonishingly large. If you don't know the exact coordinates, it's impossible to guess.

, the two bats were constantly patrolling around the ship to ensure that they would not be attacked again this time.

Charles in the captain's room looked at the map on the wall. There was a line on it, which was the distance from the giant pit fortress to the 068 mark.

After redrawing a map backup, Charles stood up and was about to inspect his ship.

At this time, a tentacle with black scales stretched out from behind, gently wrapping around his neck.

Smelling the familiar fragrance, Charles knew who the tentacle belonged to. He lowered his head and kissed it, "Why are you here? Is there something wrong?"

"I miss you." Anna's soft body slipped into Charles' arms from the side, she was not wearing anything.

With tacit lips and tongues, Charles enjoyed this rare pleasure, and he was well released from the long-term pressure.

Since coming up, Charles has rarely had time to be alone with his wife, and both parties are very busy.

After a long time, Anna lay on Charles' chest, listening to his breathing gradually subsided.

"What are you thinking right now?" Anna asked.

"I'm thinking about how to preserve this moment forever, I don't want the darkness that disappears, and I don't want the Fortanism that is eyeing you any more." Charles gently stroked Anna's smooth and delicate back with his hand.

"You are not a robot, and you are not made of iron, so you should take more rest when you should."

Charles shook his head slightly, and with a little force in his hands, he hugged Anna even tighter.

"Just thinking about it, now is not the time to rest, time is not on our side."

Anna gently stroked the bandage on Charles's face with her hands, and cut it open with her sharp nails, revealing the bloody red head underneath.

"Look at what you look like now. It is estimated that there will be a young Charles imitation contest, and you will not even be able to enter the audition."
