Looking at the introduction of the island book in his hand, Charles knew the origin of the island in front of him.
Iron Elephant Island, an old island explored four hundred years ago.
On the island stands a huge metal statue with its head almost up to the top of the rock. No one knows who built this almost miraculous thing.
Although there seems to be a curse on this island, as long as the people on this island live less than 47 years old, the iron specialty of this island is so tempting that no one can refuse.
So the original explorers settled down here, and began to sell the metal from the cut statue.
The sale lasted more than four hundred years, and only half of the entire huge statue was cut.
Most of the steam ships in the Earth Sea are built with materials, and most of the materials are provided by the two islands, Iron Statue Island and Volcanic Island. It can be said that the shipbuilding industry of the Earth Sea has contributed to this huge sculpture.
"Wow! Mr. Charles, it's more interesting than the long stick-like island we have seen before! Whose statue do you think this is?"
Lily looked down with curious eyes, and the tail of the mouse behind her kept wagging.
Charles thought of the previous plan. After repeatedly tapping the window frame with his hand for a few seconds, he grabbed Lily and put it on his shoulder, then turned and walked towards the hatch.
"Go, let's go down and take a look, I hope there are still people in the Explorers Association on this island."
The aggressive Hope Island fleet slowly approached the pier.
When Charles stood in the sun and looked towards the pier, he did not find anyone. The entire pier was empty and looked very deserted.
"No? This iron is like such a big shadow, it should not be as dead as other islands." Charles raised his head and looked at the oppressive giant legs in the distance and muttered to himself.
Lily grabbed Charles' clothes with her little paw. "Mr. Charles, do you want me to send the mice to explore?"
Charles shook his head slowly. "No, it's not about exploring unknown islands. What dangers such a living island really has would have been wiped out by the previous islanders."
Under the leadership of the Governor of Hope Island, everyone slowly approached the island.
Although Charles did not give an order, under the order of the brigadier general, all the bullets were loaded to prevent emergencies.
"Captain, there are people living on this island not long ago. The footprints on the ground can be up to four days. He is wearing leather shoes. He is male and he is overweight." Dip knelt on one knee and analyzed the footprints on the side of the road.
"Get up, it's not for the judgement to bring you here." Charles continued to walk forward.
Under the order of the brigadier general, the navy quickly began to search the entire pier, but the entire pier was rummaged and there was still no one.
When Charles walked out of the pier, he saw the banana sprouts growing on the field, and the island had also received sparkling seeds.
"It's not a of a life? Where did everyone go?" Charles murmured.
"Mr. Charles, should my rat be dispatched now?"
Charles touched his chin for a while and said, "Forget it, go back, no matter what happened to them, it's none of our business anyway."
However, just as he was about to leave, a figure walked out from the shadow of a huge iron statue in the distance, and she shouted from a distance: "Is it Governor Charles?"
"Huh? There are still people who know me on this island?" Charles stopped and turned around to wait for his arrival.
Under the gaze of a group of people, the man came to Charles, and when he saw the octopus tattoo on her face, everyone knew her identity.
"Governor Charles, you are finally here, and the priests are waiting for you." The old woman smiled at Charles and said with a very polite and intimate tone.
Charles recalled what he had just read in the book, and raised his head and said to her: "I remember this island shouldn't belong to you Fatan? What are you doing here?"
"The population of the land is not enough, so the master priest sent us to collect residents." As soon as the old man's voice fell, from the shadow of the huge iron statue, thousands of people lined up towards this side.
Holding the black umbrella, they looked hesitated and looked scared and anxious. Judging from the clothes on their bodies, these people were the islanders who had disappeared before.
"It turns out that you are reselling people, why? But the mighty ones who sacrificed all these people to you?" Charles showed a trace of clarity in his eyes and turned to his airship.
"No, no, no, the master priest has issued a new rule prohibiting sacrifice. Compared with death, their more important task is to give birth. As long as menarche comes, every woman must have a child in her belly."
"This is not only for our Fatanism, but also for the hope of our humanity! No matter who gives birth to a child, we will be rewarded."
"Cut." Charles speeded up and waved casually at the neat navy in front of him, "Go, continue on."
The Futan believer took a few steps and came to Charles~EbookFREE.me~ again and politely said: "Governor Charles, please allow us to show you the way. The sea has been a bit unstable recently, and the black whirlpool has started for the school of green tail fish. It gets more, if you encounter it, it will be troublesome."
Charles glanced at her, "Okay, hurry up."
Hearing this, the old woman smiled slightly, and as she raised her hands to the sea, the sea suddenly arched up, and several broken sunken ships rose from the bottom of the water.
She began to order her subordinates to push those people toward the sinking ship.
"Mr. Charles, do we want to save them? They look so pitiful." Lily's ears dropped and pressed to her golden hair.
"What to save? The Fatanism will not kill them. They are just replenishing the population."
"But...but..." Seeing their miserable look, Lily almost cried.
"It's nothing, even if we save them for a while, we won't be able to save their first life. The East China Sea was originally the site of the Fatanism. Without the suppression of the Light God Sect, they are now the real masters of this sea."
"But don't be careful, I still have an account with them. They won't be long before they harm me, and they will attack them with a brutal attitude. I will solve this trouble sooner or later.
Charles covered Lily's eyes with his hands and got on the airship.
The huge fleet began to leave the port, and under the leadership of the sunken ships, it began to walk toward the depths of the East China Sea.
During the period, I encountered one or two shipwrecks from time to time, and they also quickly merged to lead Charles in front.
These ships also seem to transport the islanders, and Fatanism seems to want to gather all the people from the entire East China Sea.
Soon everyone discovered some anomaly, and as the fleet got deeper and deeper, the rock formations in the sky got closer and closer to the sea.
