Chapter 15: Explorers


   "Thank you, I will go when I have time."
   Charles had just finished speaking, his expression was a bit ugly immediately, not because of Elizabeth next to him, but because of the auditory hallucinations in his mind.
   Charles, with a distorted expression, started tapping his forehead with his wrist, making it heavier.
Elizabeth next to    immediately noticed the strangeness of Charles, her eyes widened with surprise.
   "My goddess, how long have you not rested?"
   She took a piece of green jelly-like substance from her chest and handed it over. "Eat it quickly, it can effectively relieve it."
   Charles looked at her hesitantly, and finally took it and swallowed it.
   A coolness slid down his throat, the whisper in his ear was still there, but the irritability disappeared.
   "Thank you, what is this?" Charles looked at Elizabeth a lot more friendly.
   Elizabeth chuckled slightly. "You're welcome, I don't know what it is. I only know that it can ease the whispers of God Futan. If you want, you can go to Redwood Island to dig some. Don't eat too much, it will be addictive."
  Redwood Island... Charles silently remembered this new place name in his heart.
   The burly man who was covered in tendons had walked behind them at some unknown time, and he patted Charles on the right shoulder. "Rookie, the whisper of God Futan has so much influence, you should rest."
   Charles' guard has been removed for the most part. Although he doesn't know why, he can feel that these people are kind to him. He hadn't felt this kind of obvious kindness for a long time.
   Next to Elizabeth glanced at the staff who was still operating, pulled Charles up and walked to the sofa next to him.
   "Come with me, I will tell you something that most people don't know."
   Charles still wanted to refuse, and the strong man next to him put his arm around his shoulders and walked forward with him.
   "Don't be shy, as the old saying goes, if you want to live at sea, you have to make friends."
   When Charles reacted, he was already pressed on the sofa, and seven or eight captains in strange suits looked at him curiously.
   There is curiosity and doubt in his eyes, but there is no hostility.
   Elizabeth sat down beside Charles, the soft ketone body leaning directly on Charles,
   "Do you think we are a bit enthusiastic? Ha ha, the sea is dark enough, so be friendly when you get ashore." Elizabeth said.
   "It's a bit unexpected, it's really different from what I checked from the museum." Charles relaxed.
   Hearing what Charles said, a fat man widened his eyes and yelled.
"What does the book say about us? A bunch of legal pirates? Crazy people who want money? People who say this should be taken to feed the fish! If I become the governor in the future, all those who say this will be cut off. tongue!!"
Elizabeth next to    glared at the fat man, changed a smile and said to Charles: "This is a gathering place for Coral Island explorers~, you can exchange information here in the future."
   Charles knew that this was a communication salon for exploring captains.
   "What kind of information is traded? Is the island information?"
"There are all things, islands, routes, relics, useful information can be shared, maybe you can't handle things, other people have a way, if you have any questions, just mention them, we people will answer them for you. ."
   She was really right. Charles was sure there was a problem in his mind.
  After thinking for a few seconds, Charles asked his own question. "Do you have any clues about the northern light land?"
   The power of Charles's question was greater than he thought. The sound of stools rubbing the floor sounded one after another. Everyone moved a distance from Charles, as if there was some plague on him.
   Even Elizabeth next to her sat on the other side of the sofa and frowned. "Are you a person of the Sun God?"
   Charles gave a dry laugh. "I am not, nor do I believe in any gods."
   Elizabeth breathed a sigh of relief, patted her plump chest and said, "That said, you don't look like those lunatics."
   The tense atmosphere just now eased down, and everyone talked about each other.
   "It scared me, I don't want to deal with those lunatics. The Land of Light? What do you inquire about it?"
"If you ask about the legendary ballad, I heard that I will give you a paragraph. It is located on the island of the north. There is a ladder to the light on it. The eternal light and what is it? Sorry, I forgot later. Why did you sing?"
   "How can we know the legendary thing, we are not gods."
   "Rookie, you are so humorous."
There was a trace of loss on Charles’ face. Originally, he thought the knowledgeable captain of the explorer could have any clues. It seems that the humans here have stayed in the earth and sea for too long, so that the real hometown has become a distant legend. .
   Just when everyone was discussing, a woman at the counter walked over with a stack of books in her hands.
   She said with a smile: "Mr. Charles, you are now a qualified explorer, let me introduce you to the task."
   The stacks of books in her hand were opened, only to realize that it was a chart with densely written text.
   "As long as any exploratory mission is reported in the meeting, food, fuel and other substances will be reimbursed within the meeting, with different levels of danger and different rewards."
   Charles took the chart and watched it carefully.
   He can see that along the edges that have been explored, the unexplored dark areas are divided into small pieces with white lines like cakes, and the amount of reward is marked on each piece.
   What surprised Charles was that in the unexplored waters, scattered islands were actually marked, and the golden statue island he had visited before was also on it.
   A white finger stretched out from the side, pointed at the sea, Elizabeth's magnetic voice sounded in his ear. "Charles, you have just arrived. I advise you to explore the sea for a few years, and then explore the islands when you are familiar."
   Although she was right, Charles did not think so. He pointed to the Golden Statue Island and asked, "What does this number mean?"
   The island is marked with a bright red 4.
The fat man next to him interrupted and said, "That's the danger level. The danger level of the explored islands is 0. The captain who explores can't come back every time, and the danger level is +1. Like this 4th level island, for you For newcomers, don’t think about it. Let’s explore the sea for two years."
   Elizabeth glanced at him, put her mouth to Charles' ear and said: "Don't pay attention to him, I think you have a lot of potential. You can explore this island in at most a year."
   "I've been to this island." Charles said lightly, and the voice around him stopped instantly, and everyone stared at the young man in front of him.
