Chapter 185 Banquet
In the Governor's Mansion of Hope Island, men and women are wearing gorgeous costumes, holding wine glasses in their hands and chatting in groups.
Among them are the dignitaries who hold real power in Hope Island, as well as rich businessmen who buy fruits and socialites. They have only one purpose today, which is to celebrate the return of the governor of the island.
Kroner, who was wearing a black and white suit, raised his glass and took a sip, then said to the friend in front of him with a smile: "This wine has a smooth taste, low acidity, firm taste, and is full of fruity aroma and flavor. Rich and mellow. It should be the out-of-print cow mushroom wine in Yeongdao and the specialty banana wine in Hope Island."
"Mr. Kroner is such a master taster, you can taste so much in one simple taste."
Facing the flattery of the other party, Kenona smiled slightly, "It's just some small hobbies. As long as you put your heart into anything, you will always gain something."
While the two were talking happily, a small-faced beauty in a delicate off-the-shoulder dress came by. She said a few words of apology to the guests and pulled Kenona out.
"Misha, what's the matter?" Kenona asked the small-faced beauty.
"Today's banquet is for the governor. Shall we celebrate with him?" Misha pointed to Charles who was silently looking out from the balcony.
Kenona grabbed his wife and said nervously, "Don't go, he's not suitable for this occasion."
"Why? Isn't he the governor of this island?" Her face was full of confusion.
Kenona took Misha to the other side of the hall. "Don't ask so many questions, let's go to the other side."
Not only Misha, many people at the banquet peeped at the real governor of Hope Island.
As the actual person in power of Hope Island, people are constantly speculating about his intentions in any of his actions.
"This Governor looks even more indifferent than the Bandage Governor. I hope he can deal with it 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 go to talk to him now, will I be too unreserved as a girl?"
"Why doesn't Governor Charles talk to anyone? Does this mean that there is a big turmoil in the power level of Hope Island??"
At this time, Charles didn't care about any gazes behind him, and his mind was recalling what the Pope told him yesterday.
"My people are sorting the charts of New Territories City. I will send you the surface clues you want as soon as possible. My request is very simple. You just need to report as much as possible about the various things you encountered during the voyage. Just tell me."
"Please don't talk about the matter of Dawn No. 1. The church needs a miracle now. With it, the power of the Guangming God Sect will expand rapidly. If you destroy the plan, I will be very embarrassed."
Charles quickly sorted out and communicated with the Pope the various clues he had obtained.
First of all, since he has a sea chart, why should he give it to himself? The Light God Sect has a large number of people, so he can completely launch the human sea tactics and directly occupy all the islands on the sea 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 be able to get out of trouble. Charles didn't believe this statement.
The last and most important point is that Charles feels very suspicious about the identity of the "God of Light". Even though the Pope has performed miracles, he is still skeptical.
He said that he is the omniscient and omnipotent God of Light, which is a fallacy in itself. Since he knows everything, how can he not know the fate of being trapped? Since he is omnipotent, why can't he escape?
Charles, the underwater god, had also seen some. After a quick comparison in his mind, he instinctively felt that this God of Light was no match for those weird things at all.
Not only did he not believe in the God of Light, he also did not believe in the Pope.
Putting his heart in another's place and thinking about it, he would not tell an outsider all about his plan. Charles always felt that the other party was 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 finding clues on the surface has been achieved, his heart is still a little heavy.
Just as Charles was thinking about these questions with his brows tightly furrowed, a green-haired young man in a tall navy uniform walked over with a wine glass.
"My lord governor, this banquet is held for you. Is it a bit inappropriate for you to stand here for an hour?"
Charles shrunk his thoughts. He turned 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."
He smiled and gave Charles an undeserved military salute, "You are the governor, you have the final say."
Looking at the uniform on Feuerbach, Charles thought for a while and said, "What are you doing 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. It’s under my control, of course, I’m under the control of the chief admiral.”
Looking at the wine glass in his hand, Charles thought for a while and said, "How many ships are there on the island now?"
"In addition to the thirteen exploration-class steamships that occupied the island. I also incorporated twenty or thirty exploration ships. In addition, we purchased two 40,000-ton Sea Lion-class battleships from the British Isles. These two ships After more than half a year of trial sailing, it has already initially possessed combat power."
After thinking for a while, Charles said to him: "Continue to expand our combat power, our strength is not enough."
Felsha was very surprised by Charles' decision, "Governor, who should we guard against? This place 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 Sect, to replenish supplies. Based on the current relationship between the Light God Sect and us..."
Speaking of this, Feuerbach's face changed, "Captain, you are not defending the Illuminati, are you? If this is the case, then I don't think it is necessary. The cooperation between us is very close. To deal with us, they There will also be a huge loss.”
"Do as I say, there is no harm in having soldiers in your hands."
Feuerbach gently brushed his green hair. "Of course, my dear governor, I will do it right away. In fact, if you feel unsafe, you can form an alliance with the governors of other islands. This is how some weak governors survive."
"Is it an alliance..." Charles murmured to himself, and Elizabeth's figure flashed in his mind.
"How is Elizabeth's Island?"
"Who? Elizabeth? Who is that?"
After Charles explained the location of the island to him clearly, Feuerbach showed a clear expression on his face, "So it's that one, it's been so long, I almost can't remember, I heard that she is now an upstart in the North Sea, This female governor seems to have some kind of technology that can activate the ship to defend itself against the enemy."
