Chapter 143 Sunshine

Seeing Ke De's nagging, Charles didn't bother to pay attention to him. He turned around and walked towards the people standing in place like wooden stakes.

He first snatched the binoculars from the second officer and knocked him on the head. "You are really amazing. You are the first in the whole world to look at the sun with a telescope."

"Captain, what... what is that thing?" Kenona stammered and asked, pointing at the thing in the sky.

"Sun, what else can it be?"

Charles stuffed the binoculars into his arms, squatted down and took the motionless white mouse on the ground, grasping it and kneading it continuously. "Don't look at it, you will become a blind mouse if you look at it again."

"Mr. Charles, is that your home above? Is it where the TV or the computer is?" Lily asked excitedly as her furry head emerged from between her fingers.

After throwing it into the air, the smiling Charles caught her with both hands amidst her screams, "Little Lily, you're right, that's my home."

Charles, who was in a great mood, had just finished speaking when he heard the sound of heavy objects hitting the sand behind him.

"Huh?" He turned his head and looked behind him, only to find that Ke De, who was slumped on the ground, was already prostrate on the sand.

Charles sensed something was wrong, grabbed the mouse and quickly rushed to his side, helping him up. "Hey, what's the matter? What happened?"

Facing Charles' question, Ke De remained motionless with a serene smile on his face as if he didn't hear.

Charles's heart skipped a beat, he put his fingers in front of Ke De's nose, and found that he was not breathing at all.

"puff"

"puff"

"puff"

The sound of heavy objects hitting the sand kept ringing behind him, even though it was shrouded in warm sunlight, Charles felt chills all over at this moment.

He turned around quickly and found that people in the crowd kept falling on the sand, completely unable to move.

The joy in his heart disappeared without a trace in an instant. Charles opened his trembling lips and yelled frantically: "Everyone go back to the boat!! Everyone go back to the boat!! This sunshine is killing people!!"

After being yelled at by Charles, all the crew members noticed that something was wrong with the companions around them, and the expressions on everyone's faces changed from ecstasy to hesitation to fear.

The crowd started to move, and they ran towards the boat at a faster speed than when they came. Some people fell while running, and as long as they fell to the ground, they couldn't get up again.

The athletic Dipper was the first to return to the deck of the Narwhal. He stood on the edge of the ship and dragged his companions with all his strength. After counting everyone, he found something was missing.

The young man looked up at the beach, and saw his captain standing on the boundary between light and darkness, half of his body was illuminated by the sun, and half of his body was immersed in the darkness of the Earth Sea.

"Captain!! Come here soon!! It's dangerous there!!" Dipper shouted anxiously.

Looking at the anxiously shouting crew members on the ship, Charles signaled them to wait a moment, raised his left leg and moved back.

One by one, the clothes on his body were taken off, and Charles's scarred body was completely exposed to the bright sun.

Charles opened his hands and stood motionless in front of everyone's gaze, his eyes full of determination.

He knew that the most rational way now was to go back to the ship and look for the problem, but Charles couldn't wait anymore, he couldn't bear it anymore.

If the sunlight on the surface could really kill him, then he would rather die under the sunlight now.

One minute, two minutes, three minutes passed, and Charles didn't feel anything unusual except that his body felt a little hot.

Looking at the light in the dome, the corners of Charles' mouth slightly raised. He guessed right, he has basked in the sun so many times on the surface of the earth, and he couldn't believe that he hadn't seen him for nine years. How could the sun not recognize him?

Charles put his hands down, looked at the ships on the dark sea in the distance, and those eyes, filled with emotion.

Ke De's previous words sounded in his ears, the Land of Light is the Kingdom of the God of Light, where all dirt and darkness are excluded.

He didn't know who made up these words, but judging from the current situation, not only the vampires, but also the humans in Earthsea were part of Sunshine Repulsion.

"Maybe the humans in Earthsea have been in the dark for too long, and something has already integrated into their bodies." Charles stood still and muttered to himself.

After standing under the sun for a long time, Charles gathered the corpses on the ground together, and after a quick count, he found that there were seventy-nine people dead on the beach, and one of the leaders, Ke De, was also dead. , the loss cannot be violated.

Charles was still wondering why the king of Sodom didn't let pirates occupy this paradise since he knew about it, but now he finally knows the reason.

Regretfully closing Ke De's dilated eyes, Charles raised his head to take another look at the dazzling light, and turned to swim towards the Narwhal.

As soon as Charles got on the deck, he saw that the captains and other crew members of the remaining twelve exploration ships were already waiting for him.

Everyone didn't speak, and shot Charles in the face with eyes of various emotions.

Isn't this the land of light? Why did so many people die suddenly, why Charles was fine, and what was their mission this time. Too many questions popped up in their minds.

After taking Dipper's towel and wiping himself, Charles said directly to them: "I won't say anything else. You have seen the specific situation. Kede didn't lie to you before. We are here this time. Those who are looking for the land of light, in fact, this island is not the land of light, it is in the gap in the sky."

It didn't take long for the crowd's buzzing discussion to be interrupted by Charles' speech again.

"And that's where I came from. Proof that the sun didn't kill me earlier."

Charles had said these words countless times in Earthsea before, but this was the only time anyone who listened to him didn't laugh.

"Our next goal is to find a way to go up from there."

"But the light of the God of Light will kill us. Why do we go up? The legends of the God of Light are all lies! The light above is full of murder, and there is no place for people to live in that place!" Someone retorted.

"No, no, you don't understand yet. Sunshine can kill you. This is indeed a problem, but there is always a way to solve this problem. There are no solutions below. There are many smart people above, and there is always a solution. Even if you wear protective clothing all day long, or you can only come out at night, but that's it, it's ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times better than this ghost place!"

"I believe everyone knows about the sinking of Shadow Island before. Are you going to live in the fear that this island may sink at any time? Let me tell you, it's right up there," Charles pointed his hand at the light in the sky.

"In the legendary Land of Light, there is a continent that is larger than the entire Earth Sea. The ground there is not only extremely rich and fertile, but also will never sink!"
