Chapter 180 The Crew

First Mate Bandage, Second Mate Kenona, Bosun Dipper, Chief Engineer James, Gunner Lily, Cook Frey, Sailor Orderick, Sailor Linda, Ship Doctor Lasto, and finally Captain Charles.

The crew of the Narwhal assembled again in the meeting hall of the Governor's Mansion on Hope Island.

Charles, smiling, looked at the changed crew in front of him.

Dipper was taller, from a young boy to a strong young man. Against the background of a black uniform, he is even a little handsome.

The honesty disappeared from James' face, and the two shallow decrees added a touch of majesty to him.

The doctor was older, with sporadic age spots on his scarred face.

Kenona has put on a few laps and a new chin has piled on it.

If there is not much change, it is the bandages, Lily, and the vampire Orderick.

"Mr. Charles, where have you been these three years? I miss you so much." Lily jumped in front of Charles and asked with her head raised.

Charles didn't answer directly, but stroked its bright yellow hair with his hand and asked, "How did it get dyed like this?"

"It's so pretty. I can dye it in other colors. White doesn't look good." Lily rubbed her furry head against Charles' palm.

Charles turned his head and looked at the bandages who were not emotionally fluctuating. He knew that there was no trouble on Hope Island, and it was entirely dependent on this silent companion.

Such a living island is like a big piece of fat in the sea of ​​earth. If no one is shocked, the island would have lost its owner long ago.

"Thank you for the past three years."

"It's nothing...the rules at sea...the captain...is not here...the first mate automatically takes over...all the duties of the captain..." Bandage said slowly.

Charles didn't say anything more and stretched out his hand, the bandaged right hand stretched out, and slapped it hard, everything was said without saying anything.

Just when James was about to speak, Leonardo standing beside him said with a hint of flattery on his face

"Captain, you finally came back. People on the island probably don't know you. I propose to hold a banquet first. Announce your return to the outside world. What do you think?"

Charles looked at the Finance Minister of Hope Island in front of him with some surprise.

The little liar back then did not expect to be so qualified for the position of finance minister. "It's all right, do as you say."

Leonardo stepped back knowingly, and did not participate in other people's reminiscences. He knew that compared to these crew members who lived and died with the captain, no matter how hard he worked, he was always an outsider.

If you want to gain the trust of the governor, you have to take it step by step.

Just as the other crew members were talking about old times with Charles, a burst of rapid beating interrupted the harmonious atmosphere in the conference room. It was when the steel prosthetic limbs were hitting the wooden tabletop.

"Hey, hey, you can do whatever you want in the future, just settle my matter first."

It was the ship doctor Lasto who spoke, his temper was still as bad as ever, and there was no joy on his face for Charles' return.

The old man took something out of his pocket and slid it towards Charles along the smooth surface.

When Charles picked up the thing, his face was a little moved. It was his mobile phone, and it was a mobile phone with a full battery.

Swiping his finger across the screen, the animation screensaver turned on. Seeing the six decoded spaces appeared on it, Charles was stunned for a moment. After 12 years, he suddenly forgot what the unlock code was.

"Don't think about it, it's 588134, write it down in your diary," the doctor said with a hint of disgust.

Glancing at him, Charles entered the password, and a familiar yet unfamiliar interface appeared in front of him.

After hesitating for a moment, Charles clicked on the video icon. The content inside is pitifully small, except for a short piece of cat and mouse animation used to test the performance of the mobile phone, there are only two short videos of more than ten seconds.

He opened the first paragraph, which was recorded at the mobile phone store when he bought a new mobile phone. The store was very noisy, and the camera flashed by. Charles saw his youthful self in the launched mirror.

A smile appeared on Charles' face. "I didn't expect you to rush into the electricity. How did you do it?"

"Professor Smith in England helped me a lot. Electricity is a trivial matter, but your Black Mirror number is the big problem. I have been looking for it for more than two years to find out."

"Thank you." Charles casually clicked the cat and mouse video and handed it to Lily, then looked up at the doctor.

"It's not just about this phone that you're looking for, is it? Is there anything important?"

The doctor limped over, snatched the phone away from Lily, quickly clicked on the photo album, and displayed those daily photos.

Trembling eyes pressed against Charles. "Where is this place? Is it the Land of Light?"

Charles smiled. "Didn't I tell you I'm from the Land of Light? Why ask?"

"Since you said that the picture inside is a place of light, then what is it on the roof of our cave? I have been there, and the environment on it is completely different from the one in your photo."

"I also want to know this question. If I really knew everything, I wouldn't have jumped into the sea three years ago." Charles said this very calmly.

The doctor was obviously not very satisfied with Charles' answer. "I don't ask you so much, I just ask you, do you still want to go to sea and continue to search for the land of light?"

Looking at the doctor's expression, Charles seemed to think of something, "Do you think the Land of Light can unlock the clues on your things?"

What makes the doctor so concerned is probably his thick black tablet.

The doctor swiped his finger quickly and clicked on a picture, which was a selfie taken by Gao Suling outside the community with his mobile phone on the street.

As the two fingers quickly zoomed in, Charles saw behind his sister's big face that had been beautified, Uncle Liu next door was sitting under the shade of a tree, playing chess with the tablet his daughter gave him.

"You have that thing in your place, right? Just go there and you can fix mine."

"Smith in the Isle of England can charge my phone but can't fix yours?"

"No, he said something was broken inside."

Charles was not surprised by this answer. God knows when that thing was produced, and the quality of it being able to maintain it until now is already considered excellent.

"Indeed, as long as you can return to the surface and repair an outdated tablet, there will be no problem at all. Are you still obsessed with this?"

"I'm a doctor, I know I don't have much time to live, and now my only desire is to know what my father wants me to keep, and to answer my questions. Are you Governor Charles, or are you alone?" Charles, captain of the Narwhal?"

The atmosphere in the hall became a little dignified, and the second officer beside him swallowed nervously.

Charles' answer is about the tendency to open up to the development of Hope Island.

"I'm Captain Charles the Narwhal. As I told you, that place is my home, and I will go back one day."

As soon as Charles spoke, various expressions appeared on the faces of the crew.

An ugly smile appeared on the doctor's face, and he patted the phone on Charles' hand, "Very well, I'll go and organize things, as long as I live one day, there will never be a shortage of ship doctors on the Narwhal."

After the doctor finished speaking, he completely ignored the others and limped towards the outside of the door.
