Mysteries of the Earthsea

Chapter 286 The Changed Old Man

Five days later, Charles sat in his office and heard the report from the guard in front of him,

"Your Excellency, according to information from the Navy's intelligence department, there is no way for the deep divers to turn back into humans."

"All the records show that they were originally deep divers, not transformed into deep divers. It may be possible to change from a human to a deep diver, but there is really no way to turn a deep diver into a human."

Dipper's heartless smile flashed quickly in Charles' mind, and he exhaled slowly. "Is there really no way to change that kid back?"

"Continue to search for me. There is no way in the North Sea, so go to the South Sea and West Sea to find it. This world is so illogical, there must be a way."

"Yes! Your Excellency Governor!" The guard quickly stood still and saluted.

The guards left, and Charles stood up and walked towards the sunny balcony next to him.

At this time, the island has changed a lot. It can be said that except for the fruit fields, the rest of Hope Island is covered by sheds of different heights.

The one in the central area was even so dark that holes had to be drilled in the awning to catch the light.

On the slanting roofs of the sun, there are golden waterfalls.

Not far from the balcony, some middle-aged and middle-aged children were surrounded by a beam of light, laughing and touching each other with their fingers, as if they were competing to see who was the bravest.

When the two prosecutors rushed up whistling, these people laughed and dispersed.

"The island is getting more and more beautiful, let's have a good rest today."

Charles stepped on the wall of the Governor's Mansion and walked down slowly, and came back just two steps away, and carried the drawing board that had not been used for a long time on his back.

On the street, everyone's face is full of confidence, as if Hope Island really gave them hope.

Looking at their smiling faces, Charles was alone, and his back looked a little lonely.

"Maybe I invite everyone to have dinner at the Governor's Mansion tonight." After thinking about it, Charles finally chose to give up.

A crew is a crew, a subordinate is a subordinate, and he has no real friends.

Everyone listened to him on the ship because of his position, and everyone had their own families off the ship.

Bandages might count as one, but chatting with him can kill the world.

As for Lily, she is at most a bear.

In this earth sea, only Anna can truly understand herself. But she is not a quiet woman, she is busy with her own affairs all the time.

As for Elizabeth, Charles had a complicated relationship with her, and he didn't know whether she was his woman or he was her man.

Just as Charles was walking towards the pier with the drawing board, the familiar scent of milk wafted into his nose.

Charles looked along the scent, it was a small stall of milk oysters.

"How much is it?" Charles asked.

"30 copies, Mr. Painter, would you like some?" The stall owner tapped the shovel in his hand and looked at Charles with a smile.

"So expensive? Coral Island is not the price."

"How can you compare with them? Coral Island has its own cattle ranch. Besides, the jobs on Hope Island are much easier to find than Coral Island. 30 echoes are really not expensive."

"Let's have one."

"Okay." He cut open a bag of sealed milk with a shovel, and started frying it skillfully.

Looking at the boss in front of him sweating, Charles always felt that he overlapped with someone in his mind.

"Mr. Painter, this is your milk oyster, please pick it up, if you think it tastes good, welcome to come back next time."

Watching the painter in front of him walk into the crowd with food, Tom smiled and started cleaning the iron plate with water.

But in the next second, he suddenly remembered something, and quickly poked his head out of the stall, looking in the direction of the customer just now in panic.

"There are scars on the face, black eyes, and a prosthetic left hand. My goddess, this person is not the governor, right? The governor likes to eat my food?"

Charles took the milk oyster and turned towards the telegraph office.

He was not in a hurry to eat. The stall owner reminded him that he had become the governor, and it was time to bring an old friend over.

Charles sent a telegram of the highest level according to Old John's address. This kind of telegram was not only the fastest, but also delivered specially.

"Di~didi~dididi~" The other party quickly responded.

"Sorry, who are you from my father? John's son Aurora:"

Father? Charles frowned slightly, why didn't he hear that Old John had a son?

"My mother escaped from Yingdao. He used a piece of gold to buy my mother from the brothel owner, and I became his son."

"My name is Charles. Just tell Old John the name, and he will know."

"I'm sorry, my father is dead. The doctor said it was from drinking too much. Who are you to him?"

Looking at the translated telegram in front of him, Charles blinked, then silently picked up the drawing board on the ground and walked out of the telegraph office.

He came to the pier to set up the drawing board and start drawing quickly. Soon a fat old man with a big smile appeared on the drawing paper. That was Old John, the former first mate of the Mouse.

Charles picked up the painting, looked at it, and bent over to send Old John into the sea.

If you want to say who has helped you the most when you first came to this world, then this warm-hearted old man is one of them.

When I couldn't speak the Dihai language, he was the one who accompanied me to recite every word. Originally, I became the governor, and I should have repaid him well. In the end, he just died like this.

"Maybe it's not bad. Old John should be content to live to this age in Earthsea and have a child and wife before he dies."

Charles watched the paper slowly being swept away by the sea, into the endless darkness.

Just when the melancholy Charles was thinking about his old friend, he suddenly felt a sharp gaze shot on his back from behind.

Charles turned around, and it was a woman with a horrible scar on her face. The woman looks familiar.

After watching it for a second or two, Charles suddenly realized that she was Margaret, the daughter of the former Governor of Ho Fang Island.

"Long time no see, I've grown up so much." Charles had a gratified smile on his face and was about to walk towards her.

Just when he was still five meters away, Margaret spoke. "Governor Charles, I was the one who saved you when you were crazy."

"I know, I'm just about to say thank you. I've been sending people to look for you, but I can't find them."

Thanks? Margaret's expression twisted slightly, but she immediately retracted it.

"My lord governor, now I want to use the favor of saving you to exchange a few ships and some navy in your hands." Margaret's voice seemed a little cold.

"I already know about you, but you don't have to—"

"Governor Charles, isn't your life worth even this little thing?" Margaret interrupted Charles forcefully.

Thank you for the 3,000 starting point coin reward from Ranming! ! grateful! !
