Chapter 747 Black Wall

Cat Island, like a palace in the Governor's Mansion, Julio sat sideways on the huge granite chair, listening to his subordinates report the current situation.

"According to the spy report, Hope Island Governor Charles has returned safely, but Ledger did not show up. Judging from their expressions, there is a high probability that they are already dead."

Frowning, Julio sighed slowly. This news can be said to be worse. If even Pope Ledger died there, then the power of the Foundation is far beyond his imagination. After all, even he Not necessarily beat the Pope.

"Contact Charles with a telegram, and an Earthsea meeting must be held immediately to discuss how to deal with this crisis."

"Your Excellency, I have already contacted you. People from the Hope Island Telegraph Office said that Governor Charles is not currently on the island."

"What? He's not on the island at this hour? Then where is he going now?" Julio was very surprised by Charles' sudden departure.

"It's not clear, my lord, they didn't say, not only Governor Charles is not here, but Governor Anna has also left, and now Hope Island is represented by Admiral West."

"This pair of dogs and men, I am really convinced by them! They didn't share any information, and they just disappeared without any awareness of those in power."

The irritable Julio stood up and walked out of the hall. "Leave them alone, and hold the Earthsea Conference again in my name. This matter must be dealt with."

"Yes, Your Highness."

As Julio's leather boots stepped on the smooth ground, there was a crisp echo of footsteps in the empty hall, and he stopped suddenly just as he was about to reach the gate of the hall guarded by the guards.

The staff officer who was following him raised his head slightly and saw that his governor was thinking about something thoughtfully.

"Send a fast boat to the sea of ​​mist as fast as possible, let this ship bring my message to the foundation, and ask them if there is room for negotiation. If possible, we are willing to stand on the side of the winner .”

Julio has been thinking about this issue. This time the crisis is different from the previous ones. If the previous sea rise was a natural disaster, then this time the crisis is a man-made disaster.

Since it was made by humans, there may be room for negotiation. In order to protect the safety of your own island, it is not impossible to sell other people's. Of course, if you really do this, you must ensure that the other party keeps what you say.

After saying this, Julio walked out of the hall and looked down at his territory from a high position. Whenever he was in a bad mood, he liked to look at his territory like this.

Cat Island, as the name suggests, is the island of cats, but there are not many islands on the island, but it was originally named after it looked like a cat.

There are only all kinds of weird bugs on Cat Island, including skin-piercing fleas that burrow into human skin to lay eggs, and white nematodes that invade from wounds, slowly grow along blood vessels, and eventually cover the blood vessels of the whole body, causing people to die of ischemia .

Of course, compared to these bugs that hurt humans, Cat Island also has various bugs that are used by humans.

In addition to the huge sandworms that can fill the island to increase the area, the purple snails that are mashed together with their shells as dyes, the black-skinned leeches that are delicious when fried lightly, and the flies that are popular among the upper-class men in the sea pink.

These things have formed a special industrial chain in Cat Island, and the tax generated has made the development of Cat Island flourish.

Even though it has experienced two major catastrophes, the current cat island is still very lively, with electric lights, gas lamps, and candle fires illuminating the place.

Just when Julio was standing on the towering Governor's Mansion, looking down at his own territory, he suddenly noticed something slowly moving towards him from the direction of the sea of ​​mist.

It was black, but it was different from the darkness that enveloped the Earthsea. It was something blacker than any black we usually saw, some kind of extreme darkness.

The darkness like a wall approached slowly and firmly, swallowing all the lighthouse ships and fishing boats on the sea.

"Bang bang bang~!" Dazzling sparks exploded in the air, and the navy of Cat Island docked at the pier immediately began to fight against the enemy, and the whole island began to enter a state of emergency preparations.

No matter whether it was shells, fish, or mines, it was completely useless against that layer of black. Finally, that layer of black landed on the island, and as long as it was swallowed by it, it never came out of it again.

The residents of Cat Island, which had been peaceful just now, were in a mess. With screams and cries, they stomped on each other and ran towards the pier. They wanted to grab a boat and leave this place.

"What the hell is this!" Julio kicked his feet hard on the ground with his brow furrowed. After jumping high, he quickly shuttled among the islands in the sea, and came to the black edge in an instant.

He carefully stretched out his finger and touched it lightly, but was instantly sucked in by the blackness, and Julio never came out again.

When the black wall engulfed half of Cat Island, a pregnant woman who was fleeing with her stomach in her arms stopped at the same spot. In the next second, her protruding belly exploded, and Julio, covered in blood and flesh, burst out from inside. walked out.

Naked, he looked up at the black wall that was gradually approaching to swallow everything in front of him. What he saw in the darkness just now filled his eyes with fear.

He has never felt so vulnerable, even though his strength is the strongest among all Earthsea humans, but all his abilities are useless in front of this black wall. Since he became the number one person in Earthsea, He had never felt so hopeless.

This wall gave Julio a very familiar feeling, he had seen this kind of black wall on the surface, it was the black wall formed by the darkness of the Earth Sea.

After Julio turned his head to look at the plight of the islanders behind him, he gritted his teeth and jumped lightly with both feet, quickly jumping to the top of a clock tower, the tallest building on the entire island.

Holding the big clock that was stained with copper smell with his hands, Julio shouted loudly at the black wall that covered the sky and the sun: "What do you need!!"

There was no response from behind the black wall, it continued to expand at that slow speed, as if it wanted to gradually submerge the entire Earth Sea in this way.

The darkness once again overwhelmed Julio, and finally overwhelmed the screaming crowd, the noisy and crowded pier, and everything fell silent.

There was no warning about the appearance of the black wall, and when the news spread throughout the Earth Sea by telegram, it was already the afternoon of the next day.

The atmosphere of Earthsea, which had finally settled down, became very solemn in an instant. The Earthsea meeting was held immediately, and all the governors of the islands came.

However, what disturbed them was that Charles and Julio, who had previously led the rescue of Earthsea, were not present. Only Jenny, the representative of the Western Sea, and Jax, the president of the Explorers' Association, stood in front of them.

Just when all the governors became more and more anxious, an unexpected person appeared, Ocotte, one of the Bishops of the Fortan Church whom they had not seen for a long time, appeared in front of them.

The sticky soft head, the writhing sucker tentacles, and the wet red robe made people feel uncomfortable just by looking at it.

"Charles, what about Julio?" The sticky voice rang in everyone's ears.
