Chapter 654
"Earthsea's future is darkness. Only by finding darkness will Earthsea have a future, and we will have a future."
As soon as Charles finished speaking, Linda rushed to him quickly, staring at his eyes of different colors.
Immediately afterwards, she pointed at Grace who was huddled in the corner with trembling fingers, and shouted excitedly: "She is the future of Earthsea humans! Earthsea's future will always belong to them, not us monsters!!"
"You are completely burying the future of Earthsea humanity in your hands! This is not saving Earthsea at all!"
After Grace in the distance opened her mouth, she finally mustered up the courage to say: "Ms. Linda, this is all I want to do. For everyone, I am willing to—"
"Shut up!! What do you know!! You are nothing in their eyes!! What you think now is not what you really think at all! That's what they told you!!!"
Grace was too scared to speak, and the cabin became quiet again, only the sound of Linda's rapid breathing remained.
Charles patted the steel prosthetic on her shoulder, put his mouth close to her ear, and said in a voice that only she could hear: "If you think my method is not good, then you can think of a better way than this Come on, let's talk nonsense again."
"You pity her? Even we ourselves may die in the next exploration. What is the difference between us and her? Who will pity us?"
"Dihai is so cruel. I thought you had already adapted to it. Since you pulled out a few needles in your brain, your heart seems to have softened a lot."
"I'm not their hero. If you want to save Earthsea, it's useless to rely on heroes. Everyone must contribute their strength. This is a must."
After saying these words, Charles continued to walk towards the deck.
"Captain, do you still remember the cognitive problems I told you before? You still feel that you have no problems at all?" Linda rang again with a trembling voice.
The footsteps of Charles' boots did not stop, "Don't worry, after going through so much, my self-cognition is not so easy to change, I am still human, and my humanity has not disappeared."
"This has nothing to do with human nature. It's just a matter of simple addition and subtraction. Sending them up as bait is far better than putting them in the Earth Sea and being flooded."
The heavy hatch opened, and there was a creaking sound, and then the hatch closed heavily again.
Early the next morning, before it was time to assemble, Charles had already arrived on the Narwhal, and he checked all the details carefully.
When the crew came to the ship one after another, Charles had just finished checking.
"Captain, it looks like there are quite a lot of ships going this time." Dipper, who was squatting on the side of the ship, looked at the four airships next to him unexpectedly.
"It's the first time I have contacted with the foundation officials. They must be very concerned about it in Earthsea. It's impossible not to send someone over."
Of course Charles knew these things, whether it was worry or suspicion, it didn't matter, anyway, he didn't tell any lies.
"Woo~~" The low-pitched siren sounded slowly, and the Narwhal slowly floated in mid-air.
Everyone in the site looked over, their eyes full of anticipation, this exploration is of great significance.
Under the purple light, Charles watched all the crew members on the deck "Assemble. Sign up!"
Registration is always the biggest start, the first is the first officer, the first officer covered in bandages.
"Bandage, position... chief mate, assisting the captain and organizing various work plans..., responsible for the preparation of cargo stowage plans, 0-8... the cockpit is on duty."
Next is the second officer. Today's second officer has a lot less makeup on his face. With a white lace collar, he looks much cleaner.
"Niko, the second officer, performs the duty of navigation watch; in charge of the correct use and daily maintenance of the driving equipment; responsible for the navigation books, circulars, daily management and correction, and the registration of various records. 8-16 cockpit on duty. "
"Odrick, chief engineer, is in charge of the production and administrative management of the engine department; checks the implementation of the rules and regulations of the engine department to keep various equipment in good technical condition."
The former blind vampire has completely healed, and now he can be said to be the most handsome one on the Narwhal.
"Jackson, second engineer: maintain the normal working order of the engine room; in charge of the use and maintenance of propulsion devices and additional equipment, boilers, lubrication and cooling, fuel oil, starting air, overweight power and emergency devices."
"Bruker's second engineer performs duty duties, and is in charge of the use and maintenance of auxiliary machines and their auxiliary systems, emergency power generation systems and transfer pumps, air compressors, oil-water separation equipment, and waste oil tanks.
The two newcomers to the engineering team unexpectedly both had big beards, but one was white and the other was black.
"Planck. Staff cook, responsible for the crew's meals."
The fat chef is still so fat, but after so many things, the special kindness on his face has been wiped away, and there is only toughness on his broad face.
"Claire, the assistant cook, assists the chef in taking care of the crew's meals."
"Di Pu, the post bosun, is responsible for instructing the sailors to do a good job in the maintenance and repair of anchors, cables, and loading and unloading equipment; leading the sailors to do paintwork, sail cables, and high-altitude operations, and the cockpit is on duty from 16 to 24."
The deep diver boatswain looked eager to try, as if he couldn't wait to get going.
"Severer, one job: performing steering, navigational watch duties and daily deck department maintenance."
As a vampire from Shadow Isle, the old sailor of the Narwhal has now reintegrated.
"Water, Duty Two Waters: Carrying out cable tying, laying ladders and various craft work in the deck department."
"Linda, the on-duty ship doctor, is responsible for the crew's disease treatment and daily physical examination."
The bald woman held Grace like a young mother, her eyes were very calm.
After watching them finish speaking one by one, everyone turned their eyes to Grace and Norden who were not speaking.
Norden couldn't speak, Grace couldn't.
However, seeing Charles looked over, Norden, who bowed his waist and shrunk his green body into a ball, quickly began to write with a pen.
"Norden, one job: performing steering, navigational watch duties and daily deck department maintenance."
Seeing what they had said, Grace bit her lips lightly, and suddenly she took a step forward and shouted loudly: "Grace! Duty weapon! When the ship encounters irresistible danger, use self-destruct magic to lure out a certain existence , to protect the safety of other crew members, don’t worry, I will definitely do it when I’m needed!”
Her cheerful voice caught the attention of everyone on board, but this time she didn't hide, and straightened her chest generously.
The corners of Charles' mouth rose slightly, and he said slowly: "Charles, the captain! Responsible for the safe transportation, production and administrative management of the ship, and responsible for the shipping company. To ensure the safety of the ship, life and property to the greatest extent, and respond decisively in case of emergency. Handle all affairs safely! Narwhal, let's go!!"
