In the Governor's Mansion of Hope Island, men and women dressed in gorgeous costumes and holding wine glasses were talking in groups.
Among them are the powerful and powerful people of Hope Island, wealthy businessmen who purchase fruits, and socialites. They have only one purpose today, which is to celebrate the return of the island governor.
Krona, wearing a black and white suit, raised his cup and took a sip, then smiled and said to the friend in front of him: "This wine is rich in flavor, low acidity, firm taste, and rich in fruity aromas. Rich and mellow. It should be a blend of Yeongdo’s out-of-print boiled wine and Hope Island’s specialty banana wine.
"Mr. Kenona is really a master of wine tasting, and he can taste so much in a simple taste."
Facing the other party's flattery, Krona smiled slightly, "It's just a little hobby. Anything with your heart is always rewarding."
Just when the two were talking in detail, a beautiful woman with a small face in an exquisite off-the-shoulder dress walked over. She said a few words of apology to the guests and then pulled Knonna out.
"Misha, what's the matter?" Kenona asked at the small-faced beauty.
"Today's banquet is for the Governor. Should we celebrate with him?" Misha pointed to Charles, who was silently looking outside on the balcony.
Knoona pulled his wife, and said with a nervous expression: "Don't go, he is not suitable for this kind of occasion."
"Why? Isn't he the governor of this island?" Her face was confused.
Krona pulled Misha to the other side of the hall. "Don't ask so much, let's go to the other side."
Not only Misha, many people at the banquet peeked at the real Governor of Hope Island.
As the actual power in Hope Island, there are constant speculations about his intentions in any of his actions.
"The governor looks colder than the governor of bandages. I hope he can deal with better."
"He has a scar on his face, but when he thinks that he is the Governor of Hope Island, how handsome he looks, I used to talk to him now, will he be too reserved as a girl?"
"Why doesn't Governor Charles talk to anyone? Does this mean there is a great upheaval in the power hierarchy on Hope Island?"
At this time Charles did not care about any gaze behind him, his mind was recalling what the Pope said to him yesterday.
"My people are sorting out the charts of the New Territories. I will send you the clues about the surface as soon as possible. My request is very simple. You only need to make as many things as possible during the voyage, as detailed as possible. Just tell me."
"Please don't talk outside about the Dawning One. The church now needs a miracle. With it, the power of the Bright Church is expanding rapidly. If you destroy the plan, I will be embarrassed."
Charles quickly sorted out the clues he had obtained with the Pope.
First of all, since he has a chart, why should he give it to himself? There are so many people in the Light God Cult. He can launch a sea of people tactics to directly occupy all the islands on the chart.
Secondly, why did the "God of Light" find the surface? The Pope said that as long as he found the surface, the God of Light would get out of trouble. Charles didn't believe this argument.
The last and most important point is that Charles feels very suspicious of the identity of the "God of Light", even if the Pope has shown a miracle, he is still skeptical.
He said that he is an all-knowing and all-powerful God of light. This is a fallacy in itself. Since he is all-knowing, how can he not know that he is about to be trapped? Since he is omnipotent, why can't he escape?
Charles, the underwater god, has also seen some. After a quick comparison in his heart, he instinctively felt that this of light was not an opponent of those weird things.
Not only did he not believe in the God of Light, but he also did not believe in the Pope.
Think about it in an empathetic way. He will not tell his plan to an outsider. Charles always feels that the other party is hiding something from him.
Perhaps the pope cannot lie, but deliberately concealing part of the truth can also achieve the purpose of concealment.
Although the purpose of searching for clues on the surface was achieved, his heart was still a little heavier.
As Charles frowned on these questions, a green-haired young man in a tall navy uniform came over with a wine glass.
"Your Excellency, this banquet is for you. It takes you an hour to stop here. Isn't it a bit inappropriate?"
Charles shrank his mind. Turning to look at Feuerbach, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. "It doesn't matter, it's enough for them to see what I look like."
Fairs smiled at Charles and paid a rude military salute, "You are the governor, you have the final say."
Looking at his uniform, Charles thought for a while and said, "What do you do on Hope Island?"
Feuerbach pretended to be sad and said: "I don't even know this. It seems that I don't have any sense of existence in your heart. My current identity is the deputy admiral of the Hope Island Navy. I am in charge, of course, I am in charge of the Governor's Bandage."
Looking at the wine glass in his hand, Charles thought quickly for a while and said: "How many ships are there on the island now?"
"In addition to the 13 exploration-class steamships occupying this island~EbookFREE.me~ I have also incorporated 20 to 30 exploration ships. In addition, we purchased two 40,000-ton sea lion-class ships from the British Isles. Battleships, these two ships have been trialed for more than half a year, and they have initially possessed combat power."
After thinking for a while, Charles said to him: "We are not strong enough to continue to expand our combat power."
Felshar was very surprised by Charles's decision, "My lord, who are we defending? This is too far away from other islands. If you want to come here, you must go to Tianshui Island, which has been occupied by the Light God Cult, to replenish materials. The relationship with us is taught by Guangming God..."
Speaking of this, Feuerbach’s expression changed,
Captain, are you not defending the Illuminati? If that’s the case, then I don’t think it’s necessary. The cooperation between us is very close. We have to deal with them. It will also suffer huge losses.
"Do as I say, there is no harm in having soldiers in your hands."
Feuerbach gently tucked the green hair on his head. "Of course, my beloved Governor, I will do it right away. In fact, if you feel insecure, you can form alliances with other island governors. Some weak governors live like this."
"Alliance..." Charles muttered to himself, Elizabeth flashed through his mind.
"How is Elizabeth's island?"
"Who? Elizabeth? Who is that?"
After Charles told him the location of the island, Feuerbach showed a clear expression, "It turned out to be the new governor who appeared. I know her. I heard that she is now an upstart in the North Sea. The female governor seems to have some kind of technology that can activate ships to defend themselves against enemies."
