Chapter 198 Elizabeth
"Honey, you have more injuries..." The white fingers with dark red nail polish slid across Charles' chest.
Charles reached out and grabbed Elizabeth's fingers, "It doesn't matter how many wounds time can take away, the trouble is those that can't heal."
"And your left arm..." Looking at Charles' iron hand, Elizabeth's face flashed with distress. I haven't seen each other for three years, and the other party seems to have suffered too much.
"It's okay. Speaking of which, things like prosthetics are more useful than the original arm. You can also ask them, maybe they have a substitute." Charles stretched out the prosthetic on his left hand.
Elizabeth shook her head lightly, she lifted the blindfold off her face, and under the slender black eyelashes, a black eye with a red hole looked towards Charles.
"What is this? Is it a relic that can replace eye vision?" Charles asked in surprise.
"This thing comes from the East China Sea. It's very rare, but it's very useful." As Elizabeth spoke, a red circle in her eyes trembled slightly, and drilled out of her eye sockets.
It was a spider-like insect with more than a dozen legs. After it crawled around Elizabeth's face a few times, it re-entered the eye socket.
"Isn't it a bit scary? You won't dislike me, will you?"
"How could it be?" Charles bowed his head and kissed lightly. The two lingered for a while, and Charles raised his head to look at her again.
"Thank you for the activation box, it is very useful for my exploration."
The corners of Elizabeth's mouth slightly raised, she wrapped her arms around Charles' neck, and leaned her face lightly on his chest. "You're welcome, half of my island is yours."
Caressing Elizabeth's long silver-white hair with his hands, Charles asked curiously, "How do you control 1002? You can still make it work for you. I really didn't expect it."
Elizabeth had a smug look on her face. "It depends on Finn. His sealing circle can perfectly control the radiation of 1002. It was really right to keep him at a price of 30%. The activation box was also developed by him."
The face of the old mage flashed in Charles's mind, and he nodded knowingly. In terms of the power of spells in the Western Sea Region, it may be getting weaker and weaker in the face of the updated steel cannons.
But in some specific places, they are really useful, maybe I should find a way to recruit such a crew member.
Elizabeth looked up at him with adoration in her eyes.
"Charles, before you said that everyone in the Search for the Bright Lands Association thought you were telling a joke, but no one thought that you actually succeeded in finding the Bright Lands. You are really amazing."
Charles patted Elizabeth's back with his hand. "I don't care what other people think, I just want to do what I want."
Elizabeth's eyes moved slightly, and she said after a moment of silence: "Since you have come back and become the governor of the new island, how about..."
While speaking, her hands clenched a lot, and Charles could even feel her heartbeat gradually accelerating.
Charles knew what she was going to say, but he shook his head firmly. "Sorry, I can't settle down for the time being. We are not a bright place above us. The place I am looking for has not been found yet."
A trace of disappointment flashed in Elizabeth's eyes, "Where is the place you are looking for? Is it really better than the governor's life when you return to that place?"
Charles took her smooth and delicate shoulders and put her in his arms. "Stop talking, let me be quiet for a while."
On the messy big bed, the two people who had known each other for a long time closed their eyes and hugged each other, enjoying this short period of peace.
The next morning, Charles followed Elizabeth to enjoy the exquisite breakfast at the Governor's Mansion, during which the two Governors quickly confirmed the cooperation between the two islands.
The two have a close relationship, and they didn't care too much about various interest chains.
The others are subsections, most of which are about the fruit wine of Hope Island and the trade between activation boxes. These two are big heads, and the two islands can complement each other and cooperate with each other.
After breakfast, Charles rarely started his essential work as governor.
First he received all the waiting island envoys.
The island envoy brought greetings from the governors, and blurted out words of congratulations without money. It made Charles, who was not used to this kind of scene, a little uncomfortable.
"Actually, what these people are talking about is nonsense. They just came here to show an attitude." Elizabeth, who was sitting sideways on the desk, reminded.
Charles rubbed his head with his hands, "My place is so far away from other islands, is it necessary for them to flatter me so much?"
"The power of your island is stronger than you imagined. The special crops that come from the Land of Light are very sought-after on other islands."
"Also, it's always a good thing for governors to communicate with each other. If you don't send someone, others might conspire to capture your island."
"How many people are there in the back? Why don't you just come together." Charles asked Leonardo next to him.
The Minister of Administration quickly flipped through the file in his hand, "My lord governor, there is an envoy left behind, but she left in a hurry last night for some unknown reason."
In fact, he can completely subordinate these things, but he must seize the opportunity to show his face in front of the governor.
Seeing that he was done, Charles breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, you can go down."
It doesn't matter if there is one more or one less, it's just some polite words anyway.
"Your Excellency, there are still some important matters concerning the island—"
"You can handle all these things. That's what I hired you to do." Charles waved his hand, motioning him to leave.
Seeing this scene, Elizabeth frowned slightly, "You don't care about anything like this. For the key decisions on the island, you'd better make the decisions yourself."
"Don't worry, I have my own way of managing the island." Charles tapped lightly on the table.
Several mice crawled out from under the table and ran outside.
Soon, a large group of mice, led by a red mouse, rushed into Charles' office.
With small gray eyes, furry bodies, and sniffing noses, the classroom-sized offices are filled with rats.
The rodents running all over the ground made Elizabeth's heart tremble, even though she could easily get rid of these mice, but for these things, fear is fear.
She retracted her feet and placed them directly on Charles' lap.
Charles patted her slender leg. "It's okay, these are all my crew."
"These are your crew members?!" Elizabeth's voice was raised.
Lily was sent to Charles' table by the mice, and she looked up at Elizabeth in front of her. "Hello, Ms. Elizabeth, long time no see."
