Mysteries of the Earthsea

Chapter 881 Charles

The bright and warm living room is surrounded by soft light. At this time, Charles is leaning quietly on the leather sofa, and other Narwhal crew members are standing at the door. Time seems to stand still at this moment.

Seeing the disappearing captain appearing in front of him suddenly, the crew couldn't react for a while, but not everyone had such patience.

"Ah! Mr. Charles!" Lily yelled excitedly, she threw herself on Charles with open arms and jumped up and down.

Being tormented by her, Charles was forced to open his eyes. He looked at the girl in front of him with a trace of confusion in his eyes. After thinking for a while, he slowly said, "Lily, Lily?"

"It's me! It's me!" The joyful Lily lay down and rubbed her head against Charles' neck. After being a mouse for so many years, the habit has not changed for a while.

Charles looked blankly at the crew members who walked in front of him, "You...how did you find this place?"

"I sent them here, but they insisted on seeing you. They said they were afraid that you would be in danger. I think if they don't let them see you, they might keep pestering you forever." Shining sat next to Charles and explained.

Di Pu walked in front of him with a touch of excitement, "Captain, you suddenly disappeared without saying anything before. We are really worried that something might happen to you."

"Didn't I explain? I remember I did." Charles scratched his head with his hands in confusion.

Seeing this scene, Di Pu's heart skipped a beat. The captain in front of him was really abnormal. What Nico said to him before instantly resounded in his mind, which made him vigilant.

"Captain, are you really okay?" Di Pu carefully confirmed.

"It's okay, what's the matter with me, I feel fine now." Charles smiled at him.

"Have you finished reading? My father is safe now. If there is nothing wrong with him, then go back. If there is any trouble with him, it's not like you can help him solve it."

Shining next to him stretched out his hand to push away Lily who was stuck on Charles, and then helped him up.

Charles, who was supposed to be agile, now looked like a century-old man. Even with Shining's support, his legs trembled slightly, and the vigor that came with him had disappeared without a trace.

Charles didn't want to look good at all. Seeing this scene made the crew very worried, and no one knew why the other party became like this.

"Don't rush away, everyone has been floating on the sea for so long, you must be tired of eating everything in cans, Shining, go get everyone some food, treat everyone to a good meal." Being supported by Shining on the long table After sitting down on the main seat, Charles said.

"Mr. Charles, what happened to you? How did you become like this?" Lily tugged on the other party's cuff with her hands distressed.

"It's okay, I'm fine, I'm just a little uncomfortable now, don't worry about me, I'm really fine."

"Everyone, don't stand still, go sit at the long table over there, we've known each other for so long, are you still being polite to me?"

Lily grabbed the other's arm and said urgently in her eyes: "Mr. Charles, since you are fine, shall we go home? Let's go back to Hope Island, and don't stay here alone. Didn't you say that Are we your family? Let's accompany you together."

Hearing this, the smile on Charles' face froze slightly, "Sorry, I can't go back, I'm in a bit of trouble right now."

"Captain, what happened that day? Why did you suddenly disappear?" Di Pu asked again.

"What happened?" Charles murmured to himself, thinking about memories in his eyes, remembering what happened after the red light enveloped him.

"He gives me the strength to accept the things I cannot change,

He gave me the courage to change the things I could change,

He gave me the wisdom to see the difference between the two. "

Don't say that Di Pu didn't understand the vague words, the other people present also couldn't understand them.

"It has nothing to do with you. You just need to know that I am fine now. Since we finally got together, don't think about the troubles that have passed. Everyone, sit down."

Although everyone still had doubts on their faces, they sat down again. As crew members, they were not qualified to pry into the captain's privacy.

When the long table was filled with them, exquisite delicacies appeared on the table one after another. When all the food was served, Shining's body appeared beside Charles. She raised the knife and fork and began to serve Charles.

The dinner started in a weird atmosphere, Dipper looked at the steak on the table, and just about to use his hands, he suddenly stopped, "Captain, do you still remember the cargo ship you drove before the Narwhal? "

"Oh? You mean the Mouse? I still remember, what's wrong?" Charles asked suspiciously.

"It's nothing. I found that boat and bought it again. After all, it has been with us for several years."

Then Dipper couldn't help asking a few more questions, but Charles answered them one by one.

Dipper's temptation made Lily feel a little unhappy. She ran to Charles and put her arms around him.

"He must be Mr. Charles. The taste is exactly the same. It is absolutely unmistakable. Besides, Winky is right next to him, so why worry about it?"

"It's okay. You should be careful in everything at sea. He's done a good job as the captain, but he's a little too straightforward. It's better to be more secretive in the next test." After Charles said this, Di Pu felt anxious, "Captain , I don't mistrust you, I just--"

"Okay, stop talking, now that you've finished probing my identity, then enjoy this dinner." Charles didn't seem to want him to explain anything.

Then Charles began to chat with the crew about the weird experiences at sea in those years, and the weird atmosphere in the room gradually dissipated, which was both a statement and a means to prove his innocence.

As he spoke, the weird atmosphere in the room gradually disappeared, and the crew members stopped carrying them and began to eat according to their own habits. This meal was very enjoyable.

This time the mission was successfully concluded, and they found the captain.

Under the influence of alcohol, Di Pu vomited quickly what he wanted to say. "Captain, don't stay in this place where the birds don't shit, come home with us, we are waiting for you."

Lily, with a blush on her face, also nodded, "Yes, Mr. Charles, have you forgotten our previous agreement?"

Charles glanced at them one by one, and said with some emotion: "Guys, on the other hand, I also want to go back, but I can't go back for the time being. Some things have to be done."
