Chapter 653 Future

"Ms. Linda, what is such a lively place over there?" Grace, who was carrying big bags and small bags, looked curiously at the bustling tall buildings with people coming and going.

People coming in and out are holding boxes of all sizes.

Facing the other party's inquiry, Linda's attitude was no longer as cold as before, and she explained as clearly as possible.

"It's a market for the sale and exchange of relics, because new relics can be continuously catalyzed above the darkness, and various relics are continuously produced. Things that were once very rare in the Earth Sea can be selected here. It depends on the exploration whether to use them directly or inject them into the body. their own choice."

"And this place is also responsible for testing the relics. The captain's diary was tested here. From the current point of view, the book does not have much side effects except that it will predict some things.

Grace opened her eyes curiously, looking at the explorers coming and going inside.

"Then do I need to get some? This kind of thing is said to be a cursed thing in the West Sea, and I have never used it."

"No, the captain and the others can solve the battle. Everyone on the ship has their own position, and so do you. Just do your own thing." Linda said and led Reese to move forward.

At this time, Grace was a little surprised to see the handsome uncle with a mustache who came with her,

She let go of her hand and smiled and was about to rush over to say hello, when she saw the other party leading a group of subordinates confidently and striding into the relic market.

Before Grace figured out what the other party was doing inside, Linda had already walked over, holding her hand and continuing to walk forward.

"Ms. Linda, can you tell me more about Sir Charles? I've heard various legends about him at sea, and the boys on the island adore him."

"Is he really the person who has explored the most islands in the Earth Sea? And I heard that his ship is alive? Also, is his relationship with the governor of Yicha Island really as rumored?"

Hearing this, the expression on Linda's face changed very complicatedly, and finally a sentence popped out of her mouth.

"He's a lunatic, you don't need to know him."

The other party's words made Grace not know what to say for a while. After a long pause, she started talking again: "Ms. Linda, why don't you seem to like Mr. Charles very much?"

Linda stopped on the busy street and looked back at her, "As an old man, I tell you the best unspoken rule to learn as soon as possible on the exploration ship, that is, you can live and die with other companions, but you don't meddle with them Too many personal emotions, including the captain."

"Only in this way, when they die, you can cheer up as soon as possible and start a new mission again."

Grace looked at the bald woman in front of her, and felt a little scared for no reason. She seemed to be a different person from the one just now.

"Got it..." Grace agreed in a low voice.

Linda turned around and continued walking, and said with a low voice: "There are still 3 hours until night, you can enjoy today as the last day of your life, no matter whether you can come back alive or not , you will all change in the end.”

Grace couldn't hear the emotion in her voice, but the general meaning was still clear. "Well... I want some books, some books to read on the road."

Linda didn't ask any more questions, and took her directly to the only bookstore in the entire site.

In the bookstore, the books are neatly placed in the cabinets, and they are stacked high with each other. When she learned that any books here were also free of charge, Grace rushed in excitedly and began to look for them happily.

Now she is like a mouse in bread crumbs, and she seems to like books.

"Ms. Linda, look quickly, there is actually a complete set of magic books of the Gaunt family here! And this, even the Howard family's!!"

"The all-seeing eye is above, so many hidden good things, if placed below, you can buy half of the island!"

"Grace, don't forget, this is the surface of the earth. Except when the captain asks you to use magic, you are not allowed to use magic at other times."

Hearing Linda's reminder, Grace put back the copper books sealed with chains with a face full of regret. After picking things up and down, she finally chose some special books.

"The Transmission Principle of Rack and Pinion", "Electricity and Magnetism", "Steam Dynamics"

"Why did you buy these? These things are difficult to understand, and you won't need them after you understand them." Linda was very surprised by her choice.

"No reason, I'm just curious, I'm curious about how to move such a big iron block without magic, and this kind of book can't be bought in the Western Sea Region."

After Grace finished speaking, a cheerful smile appeared on her face.

But when Linda saw the smile on her face, she shrank in her heart suddenly, and looked away as if avoiding her eyes.

"Ms. Linda, I'm done shopping, let's go back to the ship." The two started to return the same way, walking towards the Narwhal.

Along the way, Grace seemed to see that Linda's expression was not very good, so she cautiously said nothing.

Just when they returned to the bottom of the Narwhal, Linda suddenly asked a strange question. "How did your family react when you came to the surface this time?"

For the first time, Grace's buoyant expression seemed a little bleak. "I have no family...my only family, my grandmother, was killed by the previous death ray."

Looking at the girl in front of her, Linda's distant memory was touched.

She stood in front of Linda with a slightly distorted expression, grasping her shoulders with both hands and shaking vigorously, "Then why did you listen to them to come and die!? You are the only one left! What are you afraid of! Think If you want to die, let them do it themselves!!"

Grace didn't know why the other party reacted so suddenly.

Just when she was about to say something, Linda suddenly opened her arms and held her in her arms, her face full of distress.

After a long time, she let go, grabbed the rope ladder in front of her, and climbed towards the deck of the Narwhal.

The night before departure, no one was on board, the cabin was empty, and there were only two footsteps in the corridor. Linda introduced everything in the cabin while walking with her.

Just as they turned the corner and were about to walk towards Dipper's room, they met Charles who was walking towards him.

Both parties were a little surprised, but Charles didn't say anything. After nodding to Linda, he passed by the two of them and walked towards the deck.

Just as Charles walked three steps away, Linda's voice sounded behind him. "Captain, what do you think is the future of Earthsea?"
