Mysteries of the Earthsea

Chapter 454 Found (Add More)

This journey took longer than Charles had imagined. After fifteen days in a row, they still hadn't found the island with the key.

This island does not follow a straight line, sometimes it draws crooked circles on the bottom of the sea. The road didn't go far, but it wasted a lot of Charles' time.

But no matter what, the Narwhal actually continued to move forward. After spending so much effort, it was impossible to end like this.

But a form from the first mate was placed in front of Charles, indicating that he had new troubles and they had no supplies.

Originally, he had already made preparations before he came, and even reserved a lot of food and fresh water for emergencies.

But no one knew that the island actually walked away on its own.

"We must...to go back...to save supplies..." Bandage reminded Charles from the side.

"I know, I know, let me think about it." Charles held the form in his hand, scratching his head while walking towards the captain's cabin.

Of course Charles can go back now and think of other ways, but such a few months are wasted.

After frowning and thinking for a few hours in the captain's room, Charles really thought of a way.

"Look, it's moving southward at a speed of 30 nautical miles. If we continue to explore with half of the returned materials, we can explore for 23 days if we save some money." Charles said to the bandage.

"But there are only half of the supplies...we can't go back...unless...we kill...half of the people on board." The bandage sitting in front of the desk reminded Charles.

"Don't worry, look here," Charles' finger tapped on a small dot representing an island on the chart.

"Although half of the material can't bring us back to Hope Island, it's enough to allow us to reach the island where people were roped before. Those colorful trees can be used as fuel, and the mushrooms and bugs in the woods can be used as food."

"Since Sarin, who was adopted by Linda before, can live to be twenty-five years old on that island, it proves that there is enough food on that island, and we can go to that island to replenish supplies."

While talking, Charles began to draw the return route on the chart.

Seeing what Charles said, Bandage didn't say anything, nodded, stood up and left.

The Narwhal, which finally stopped, continued to move forward, and the crew began to eat the supplies they returned, but the quantity was not enough, and everyone could barely eat eight percent full.

As time passed day by day, the Narwhal continued to swim forward along the traces on the bottom of the sea.

Under normal circumstances, the Narwhal only travels on the surface of the sea, and the direction depends entirely on Dipper diving from time to time to confirm the target. After all, the surface of the sea is safer than the sea.

But even going on the sea is dangerous.

"Boom boom boom~!!" The deck cannon fired violently, continuously bombarding a bright spot in the distance.

"Dipper!! The shells are still useful! It's gone, so let's leave!" Charles poked his head out from the cockpit and shouted to Dipper, who was controlling the deck gun.

Dipper jumped off the deck gun and ran over smiling. "Sorry, sorry, I couldn't hold back my anger when I saw this guy's familiar appearance."

Charles looked towards the side of the ship, and saw a monster with a round head and a vertical beak, which was twice the size of the Narwhal and covered in black mucus, slowly sank into the sea.

The tentacles covered with pustules all over the body are constantly twisting, making people feel very nauseated just by looking at it.

The fierce shells almost exploded its deformed body, almost disintegrating it, and the black flesh and blood quickly expanded and merged with the sea water.

"Familiar? Have you seen this thing before?" Charles said, turning and walking into the cabin,

A somewhat excited Dipper also followed in. "Of course, Captain, have you forgotten? When our Mouse returned to Coral Island for the last time, we encountered this thing, haha, this guy finally died in my hands."

Being reminded by Dipper like this, Char immediately remembered the matter of his former bosun being skinned.

It turned out that it was this ghost thing that hit his boat back then, but it is not what it used to be now, it wanted to make trouble on the Narwhal today, so it was unlucky today.

"Stop talking nonsense, go into the water and see if the Narwhal has deviated from its direction." Charles ordered to Di Pu.

"Okay!" Dipper said as he rushed out of the cockpit, jumped out of the ship, and jumped into the sea with a "plop".

Looking at the sea chart on the wall, which represented the route traveled by the Narwhal, Charles estimated in his heart how long the remaining supplies could go, and the situation was not optimistic.

The bandage at the helm turned his head to look at Charles, "I'm going back to the island this time... I'm going to let my family... live in the center of the island... you wait until then... help me make a show..."

Charles turned his head to look at him in surprise, "So many things have happened to you, are you really not going to tell them?"

Bandage shook the steering wheel in his hands, "I don't know...how...to explain..., just like this...it's fine."

Charles nodded, "Okay, then I will say that you have made great contributions to this mission, and I will specially reward you with a house in the heart of the island."

"Thanks……"

"Our relationship, what's more polite," Charles smiled.

After thinking for a while, Charles turned his head to look at the bandage again, "By the way, it's just the two of us now, and I have something to discuss with you. If I really have the chance to return to the surface this time, I hope I will give you the position of the governor of the island." You sit for me."

The bandage's eyes were narrowed, and he also understood what this sentence meant. "You plan to never come back?"

After thinking about it, Charles chuckled. "Not necessarily. If I get tired of staying at the top, I will come down to see you, but... if I leave, there will always be someone to take this position. You have worked for three years before, which is just right for you."

The bandage didn't say anything, but years of tacit understanding let Charles know that the other party had acquiesced.

"Thanks."

"Our relationship..., why are you being polite..."

Charles laughed dumbfounded when he heard the bandage say exactly the same thing as he had just said.

Time passed little by little, Charles waited for Dipper to come back, but gradually he began to feel that this time was a bit long.

Under normal circumstances, Dipper would be back within three minutes at the most, but now five minutes have passed.

"Damn it, nothing will happen, right?" Charles, who walked out of the cockpit, looked at the dark water and thought to himself.

Just when he was about to order the Narwhal to dive, he saw his bosun's murloc head popping out of the water, and his expression looked very excited.

"Captain!! The island is found! It's just below, and it's still moving!!"
