Chapter 697: Spreading the Word (Add More)
Seeing that Charles had been staring down at the wine glass in his hand, he said, "Captain, Hope Island belongs to you, not your wife! You are too indulgent with her. Especially she is still"
James said that he didn't go on, as if he was afraid that the word would irritate Charles.
"A monster? Then how much do you think I look like a human?" Charles laughed at himself.
James shook his head vigorously, and complained emotionally; "No! You are different from her! Do you know? She is doing some shit experiment now, seeing that there are not enough death row prisoners, she has already started using civilians!!"
"This is your people! Now she is treating her like an animal! I said it before! She has never been on our side!!"
Hearing what his subordinates said, Charles still didn't respond. He stared blankly at his distorted face reflected in the glass.
"And her strength is getting stronger and stronger, so strong that I am afraid that even the relics that are immune to mind control in the Western Sea Region will not have any effect. I don't even dare to stay by her side, because I am afraid that she will control me."
"Captain, she is like a parasite, entrenched on Hope Island and sucking blood. We can't let her grow stronger! Otherwise, it will lead to a big mistake!!"
Charles' eyes moved slowly to the anxious face of his old subordinate, "I see, thank you for telling me this, James, thank you."
After James paused for a few seconds, he nodded and drank the wine in the glass directly. "Captain, I still want to reiterate again, Hope Island is yours, and it is also our home!!"
After he finished speaking, he turned around and left directly with a firm expression on his face.
It takes 6 hours for the passage from the Earth Sea to the surface to go up, but the way down is much faster. After just 3 hours, everyone can smell the familiar smell of the sea.
Who would have thought that they would miss this kind of smell that they had smelled for a lifetime.
Compared with the Ancha Island occupied by 010, the current Ancha Island is much more lively. Various factories and buildings are placed in the center of the island, very close together, as if they are afraid that they will be lost if they are far away.
Looking down from above, dense crowds shuttle between these buildings like ants.
However, the construction is so tight, there is no way to do it. Compared with the previous Ancha Island, only half of the area is left, and the rest of the area has gone to the sea.
The airship slowly passed through the black smoke from the chimney and came to the flat platform.
Jumping off the airship, Charles faced the sea and took a breath of the humid air with the smell of the sea.
This familiar feeling made him feel very comfortable, and his restless mood was relieved a little.
He turned his head and looked at the crew members who came down together. "Everyone, disband on the spot. When you go back, wait for my notice."
The ecstatic crew immediately cheered and rushed out from the airport.
But the bandage didn't go, he walked up to Charles and said, "Why.. take us.. down and you're gone. We can too. Continue to explore"
Charles reached out and patted him on the shoulder, then pointed to the huge black pillars in the building complex. "It's okay. I haven't seen your family for a long time, right? Go and meet them. I'll take care of Lily's affairs and take a good vacation."
In the center of the building is a towering black tower, which is the train elevator, and it can go directly to the train hanging on the dome. Through it, Ancha Island can reach Hope Island at the fastest speed.
After Bandage cast a strange look at the other party, he turned and left. He felt that his captain had been a little weird since Lily was taken away.
"James, where is the telegraph office on Ancha Island?" Charles looked at the back of the bandage leaving, and asked without looking back. He came down and had something to deal with, which was very important.
"The telegraph is too slow. The latest technology is wireless telephony. This is technology from the Foundation. Would you like to try it?"
"Oh? Take me to have a look."
Soon, Charles was sent to the so-called telephone exchange, where there were rotary telephones. In Charles's view, it is very old-fashioned.
The crowd lined up and slowly moved forward. The technology that can talk to their loved ones thousands of miles away is very popular, especially in this environment, some people even cried while talking.
Of course, Charles didn't have to line up that day. He was sent to the VIP room, where some well-dressed men and women were talking on the phone.
"My lord governor, where do you need to dial?" the telephone operator inside asked respectfully.
Charles looked at her and said calmly; "Hope Island Governor's Mansion."
"Beep~beep~beep~" The phone kept ringing, and after James waved his hand lightly, the other people on the call were immediately cleared out by the navy.
Just as James was walking out, he saw a capable woman walking in. He wanted to stop her, but when he found out that the woman was Margaret, he turned and left.
The woman with the scar on her face leaned against the wall, silently watching the other party on the phone.
After beeping for half a minute, the phone was finally connected. "Hello?"
"Anna, it's me. I'm already down. The Pope took Lily away. We need to have a good chat."
"Yo~, just talk about business right away? Governor Charles is really a hard-working old scalper."
"This is also a private matter, don't hide it, let's explain it face to face."
"Beep~~~" The phone was hung up.
Before Charles put down the phone, he felt a little swollen in his arms. When he lowered his head, he looked at a girl face to face. Looking at her pair of green cross pupils, Charles knew that it was his daughter Shining.
"Dad, that woman doesn't want to see you. She said that she can leave something to me. As long as the Pope reappears in Earthsea, I can take care of him." Shining opened his hands, and hugged the man he hadn't seen for a long time from under his clothes. Father.
Charles put his hand into his arms, grabbed Shining's armpit and lifted her out, "Then you go back to her, Swann is here with me."
"Shua~!" Winky disappeared in an instant, and came back after a while. "She said then kill him, and what else to do with it."
"Tell her that I know something from him, and I'll ask in person if it's true."
Winky disappears and reappears again.
"She said, believe it or not."
"You tell her! This is a big deal about your daughter! This is no joke!"
After a few rounds of quick back and forth, Charles, who was already a little impatient, continued to speak: "You tell her—"
However, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Winky angrily. "You guys are insane!! There is a phone right next to you, so you can't call these boring nonsense! Is it interesting for me to pass it back and forth? I haven't seen you for so long, and you just played with your daughter as soon as we met?!"
