Chapter 674 Earthsea Conference
When the Narwhal slowly entered the stronghold, everyone was stunned. A total of five exploration ships went out but only one came back. What happened to them? Didn't they go to negotiate with some foundation? How could it be like this?
However, when Charles announced that he had reached a partnership with the foundation, everyone's faces lit up, and the dead crew members were immediately forgotten.
Although it is a pity to die, the situation of the living is more important than the dead.
Soon, in a spacious tent, the Earthsea Council was held again, and Charles saw the faces of all the governors on the surface again.
However, compared with before, the number of people is a little smaller. If the previous governor had more than a hundred people, now they are only in their early hundred.
"This is a map of darkness. The Foundation is also exploring, and they are exploring a much larger area than us." As Charles lightly pressed on the metal disc, a three-dimensional map like a nebula appeared on his before.
The entire map presents a spindle shape, narrow at the bottom and large at the top. Each point on it is not a planet, but a floating island, or something else. Each point has a different color, black, Mostly dark purple.
Before Charles could speak again, Feuerbach's phantom was suddenly projected beside the map.
"Good evening everyone, let me introduce to you the specific situation of the entire Dark Kukai."
As he held the football-sized map in his hand and gently pulled it, the entire projected map instantly enlarged and covered everyone in it. The governors of Earth Sea had never seen this before, and they were all secretly surprised.
"The ones with different colors have different dangers. Generally speaking, the black ones have been thoroughly explored and the dangers have been eliminated, but we can't completely relax our vigilance. After all, the above is very lively. Maybe something has reappeared. occupy."
Feuerbach pointed to the two floating islands that Charles had explored before.
"The purple nebula represents danger, which also represents dangerous areas and dangerous moving "things." His finger pointed to the area where 005-3 existed.
"Yellow represents the unknown, and it represents that the place here is changing at any time."
At this time, Anne, the representative of the Western Sea Region, asked, "Do you have any dangerous information? We need to know as much as possible."
Feuerbach glanced at her contemptuously, "You can tell it's not an explorer just by looking at it. Look at our respected Captain Charles, he wouldn't ask such a naive question."
"When you know something, then you have been affected. Sometimes not knowing is not to harm you, but to protect you. The less you know, the safer you are."
Charles looked at the purple nebula with a solemn expression, thinking secretly in his heart, "Are these places where the gods on the surface live?"
"Please forgive her abruptness. The Western Sea Territory has not been very enthusiastic about exploring the island itself. This Mr. Foundation, what is your name?" Jax, the president of the Explorers' Association, looked at Feuerbach in the air with a smile.
"Feuerbach, although this is not my real name, you can call me that."
"Mr. Feuerbach, please tell us where you are looking and what we need to do." Jax smiled and said humbly.
Feuerbach didn't answer right away, but turned his gaze to Charles, who was silent beside him, and gave him a questioning look.
"Tell me, I'm listening."
Feuerbach bowed slightly, closed his hands slightly, the map returned to the size of a football, and swiped his finger to the right.
"We are exploring to the right in an all-round way. The entire dark sky is huge, but it is not without boundaries. As long as we explore its boundaries, then their central positions will be the anchor points of darkness."
Looking at the dotted map, Charles thought to himself: "How much has the darkness of Earthsea expanded on it? The Foundation has been exploring for so long, and it hasn't even touched its border?"
"I have a question. Why only explore the two sides, not the top? What if the dark anchor you mentioned is somewhere above?" Julio's aggressive voice sounded in the tent.
"Because according to our exploration, the darkness can only be so high, and the existence above cannot be provoked." He gestured with his finger on the top of the map.
"What?" Anna with sharp eyes stood out from the crowd.
Feuerbach turned his head to look at Charles again, "Captain, this has nothing to do with our future cooperation, so there should be no need to answer, right?"
"Knowing this information will threaten our lives?"
"That's not the case, it's just that it doesn't matter. If you really want to know, please wait a moment, and I'll ask for instructions."
After finishing speaking, Feuerbach's figure disappeared from mid-air, and there was a buzzing sound in the tent, and the governors talked about the matter just now in groups of three or four.
"You were the first to contact them. How much do you know about the Foundation?" Julio came to Charles and asked.
"Not much more than you. Judging from the information I collected before, they should have been established by surface humans 1,000 years ago to contain and study abnormal phenomena, events, and individuals in the world."
"To put it simply, it is a relic. There were nearly 7 billion human beings on the surface of the earth. If these things are not controlled, they will definitely cause danger to people, and they will also have a psychological impact on people around the world, causing panic and interfering with people's daily life. , so they need to protect the world in secret."
"Judging from the current situation, they should have been unprotected at the time, otherwise the surface would not have become what it is now."
Jax, the president of the Exploration Association, came over. "How do you know they are secretly protecting the surface, rather than using the relics to rule over others? I don't believe they are so selfless."
"It's very simple, because I came here at that time, and I can tell you clearly that there were no traces of the Foundation on the surface at that time."
Hearing what Charles said, Jax didn't ask any more questions, and straightened his unilateral mirror frame with a smile.
"Since they are so selfless, do you think they are reliable?" Julio asked.
Charles, who frowned, shook his head slightly. "Unreliable. Judging from the information I collected before, the Foundation from below the surface should have been wiped out by the gods."
"We don't know what the background of this foundation is, and even if they are the original foundation, a full 1,000 years have passed, and more than a dozen generations of inheritance, I find it hard to believe that their organizational purpose has not changed a bit."
