Chapter 797 Everyone's Wish

Feeling the palm of her father's hand on her head, Shining said flatly, "Dad, I went to the bottom of the sea yesterday."

Although Charles didn't say anything, Winky could still hear his father breathing faster.

"005 said that the world below is the world you lived in, so I went to have a look, maybe I can teleport it there for you, but I still didn't go down in the end. The breath of Ftan stopped me, just like the breath of 002 in the center of the earth. , the further down I went, the more panicked my heart became."

Charles swallowed hard, "Don't go to the surface without authorization, it's dangerous if you do it, you might die if you don't do it. Since the gods in Earthsea didn't go to the surface, there must be a reason."

Shining frowned slightly, "I know, I know, I want to help you."

"Thank you, remember to tell me what to do next time."

Shining raised his right hand and knocked off the palm on his head, "I'm not a child."

"Why aren't you? You are just four years old this year." Charles patted Shining's head again with his hand.

Winky pursed her lips, but didn't refute anything in the end.

Two tentacles protruded from Shining's back, rolled up the two sofas and pulled them behind them. "Sit down, let's take a look."

The two sat on the sofa, silently watching the joys and sorrows of the little people behind the low wall, and neither of them spoke.

"Captain? Are you asking about my wish? I'm not afraid that you will get angry. My wish is to eliminate the last threat to Hope Island, Anna."

James, with a beer belly, said to Charles across the table with a solemn expression.

Lifting the raw oyster in his hand and topping it with sour lemon, Charles inhaled lightly, and his mouth was immediately filled with tender and juicy meat.

While chewing the food in his mouth, Charles waved the empty shell to James, motioning him to sit down and eat together.

"Thank you, I'm not hungry."

Charles reached out and patted his stomach, "Well, you really should lose weight, exercise more, don't nest in the room all day long, look at your big belly."

Seeing the captain's indifferent attitude, James was a little anxious, "Captain, although you are on the island, she will restrain herself a little, but this does not mean that the matter is over, she is always a hidden danger!"

"I know, but I didn't come here for this. I just want to ask you personally, what is your wish?" Charles calmly explained to him.

James sighed deeply, and sat down next to his captain, "Captain, do you remember how we were embarrassed on the Mouse?"

"We are not born with the good life we ​​are today. These are all things we have bought with great difficulty. If something really goes wrong on Hope Island, we may not even have the opportunity to go back and continue to run the ship."

Charles chewed the food in his mouth a few times, and then swallowed it, "Ah, my chief engineer, your layout is too small, the current situation has already far surpassed a small island of hope, Anna's Don't worry about it, I'll take care of it."

Looking at the slightly wriggling black tentacles on Charles' head, James felt helpless. "Okay, Captain, I listen to you, if you can, please stay on the island, at least let the status quo continue."

Charles smiled, and continued to attack the food on the table, "The child who stayed in the car just now is your daughter, right? Are they all this old?"

When the other party mentioned his family, the corners of James' eyes were full of happiness, "Well, I still remember when she was just born, she was only as big as my hand, and now she can run and call her dad."

Charles nodded in agreement, "Yeah, my daughter is the same. When we met for the first time, I couldn't even speak well, and now she will bicker with me."

Also as fathers, they finally had a common topic, and they chatted very happily.

"Captain, I really still remember that when I was on a boat mission on the Mouse, I accidentally fell into the water, and there were two splithead sharks swimming beside me. You jumped off the deck without hesitation and rescued me." Akira Holding the wine glass in his hand, James showed a hint of drunkenness on his face.

"Before I boarded the Mouse, I had been with other ships, and no captain could do what you did. From that day on, I swore in my heart! I am willing to follow you forever! I will go wherever you go."

Charles hiccupped and shook his head. "I'm not as good as you think. I was poor at the time, and I just wanted to reduce my losses."

James shook his head vigorously and vetoed, "Impossible! I have followed your boat for 7 years!! Captain, you always like to hide the emotions in your heart! Sometimes you even deny it, but I know it! You are the best captain in all the seas!"

Hearing this, the smile on Charles' face slowly dimmed.

When lunch is over, James will go back to work. Hope Island has the current scale and has his strength. Now Hope Island is very lively, so he naturally has no time to rest.

Standing in front of the car, James held the door and looked at Charles standing on the steps of the restaurant door, "Captain, I can see that you have something on your mind, but no matter what you do in the future, don't forget that I am the chief engineer! Always support you!"

Watching the back of the car gradually go away, Charles stood on the spot and continued to walk along the busy street after stepping on his toes. He found other crew members and asked them about their wishes. Everyone's wishes were strange, but many of them were not. So difficult to achieve.

Coming out of Linda's residence, he saw the back of a slightly lame black dress in the distance.

"Grace?"

After the back trembled slightly, she turned around slowly. It was the girl Grace, holding a stack of books in her arms, and her hair was deliberately put down to cover the torn half of her face.

"Captain." The girl bowed towards Charles with some restraint.

"What are you doing on the island now?" Charles asked.

"As I told you, I'm currently working for Lady Anna."

"Are you still used to life on Hope Island?"

"Well, I don't know how much better than my life in the mentor's tower. I have a lot of money now. I even bought the library. So many books are now mine."

The bright smile that had disappeared on Grace's face reappeared again, but this smiling face was set off by the cracked right cheek, which made it look extraordinarily ferocious.

Grace seemed to be afraid of scaring others with her scars, so she deliberately wore a very conservative dress.

"You deserve it. If you could have one wish come true now, what would you choose?" Charles asked her.
