Chapter 707 Letter

In the backyard of the Governor's Mansion on Ancha Island, Charles quickly drew with a brush while looking at his daughter in mid-air.

"Xinxie, lift the third tentacle on the left, good, good, hold it, hold it, it's done!"

When Charles looked at the work on the drawing board with satisfaction, a group of fluorescent green tentacles in the sky came behind him, and looked at the exact same self in the painting with the liquid eyeballs that wandered all over his body.

The content in the portrait is a group of swollen tentacled monsters covered with green cross liquid eyeballs suspended in the air. The background is the elevator tower behind and various airships in the sky. The whole painting looks very harmonious.

"What do you think? Dad's skills are good." Charles asked without turning his head.

"I like it very much. The painting is very beautiful. I will draw one for my mother sometime."

"Forget it. I've painted her before. She's not such a leisurely person. After staying for half an hour, she starts to yell about eating people." Charles took down the painting in front of him, and stacked it on top of each other. Put it in a diary.

After Charles took out his pocket watch and looked at it, he said in surprise, "It's so late? Let's go, Winky, let's find something to eat."

"Yeah!" Shining turned into a young girl in an instant, happily pulling him to the street outside.

Compared with the dull Hope Island, Ancha Island is relatively more lively, after all, it is a transit point between the Earth Sea and the surface. At least no curfew.

The two father and daughter walked slowly among the lively crowd, feeling the atmosphere of the city which is different from other islands.

This place looks like a bustling passenger transportation center. All the supplies on the surface are distributed here, and then sent to the surface by airships one by one. Everyone who picks up the goods and delivers them is racing against time.

Because they are too busy, the atmosphere here is much better, because they are so busy that they even get stuck eating, so they don't care about the rising sea water.

Charles looked up at the huge pothole above his head and the airships going up and down in the pothole, and felt a little emotional for a while. When the 010 Ring of Time was still on this island, he really couldn't guess that it would become This is what it looks like now.

Just when he was feeling emotional, he suddenly heard a trace of suppressed crying in the noisy voices.

Charles turned his head and found that not far away the postman was delivering a black letter to a woman.

The woman seemed to be frightened, and waved her hands back again and again. The letter of that color was nothing but a death notice on the surface.

Looking at the letter, Charles' heart was overshadowed, and he pulled Shining over there.

"Madam, although I understand your grief, please sign for it as soon as possible. I still have a lot of letters to deliver." The courier's words made Charles look at the bulging green package on the back seat of the bicycle.

"No it's not true! He said he would come back!! He would never lie to me!!" The flaxen-haired woman slumped on the ground, looking completely emotionally broken.

In the end, an eleven-year-old boy reached out to take the black letter. He opened the letter and looked at the contents carefully. It seemed that it was the woman's child.

Gradually his eyes turned red, and although the boy tried to hold back, the tears finally dripped down on the letter paper.

Charles walked over, and the contents of the letter came into his eyes. "Emma, ​​this is the suicide note deposited in the Explorers' Association. If you see this letter, it means that I am dead. There should be a contract sent with the suicide note, which represents the proof of subsidy after death."

"Keep it safe. After this dark crisis is over, you can get a 200-square-meter land with it. Remember that this land must be in the center of the island. If they give you other garbage places, you just go to explore The Orthodox Association is looking for my captain, Captain Ike, he is the captain of the Maiden's Love, and I am the sailor and helmsman on it. He will make the decision for you."

"If Captain Ike died with me, then don't make a fuss. Take what they give you. Don't argue with them. You can't compete with them. There are some gold nuggets in the second layer of the red box. , This is what I have saved over the years, you should be able to live with it."

"Emma, ​​if the world is still very chaotic in the future, remember to find another man, otherwise, if you are a woman and bring a lot of gold, you will definitely have trouble finding you.

"It's best to find someone who works in the Governor's Mansion, or the little leader of the gang, nothing else, just like this, if possible, pay Harlan to learn how to read."

Below these words, there is an extra section abruptly.

"Ms. Emma, ​​hello, I am the ship doctor who ghostwritten your illiterate husband. It can be seen that he loves you very much, but he is not very good at expressing himself."

"I can feel that he seems to want to express his love to you, but because of ghostwriting, he is too embarrassed to say it, hehe, what an interesting person, isn't he? Beautiful lady, I hope you will never receive this letter letter,"

Just as Charles had just finished reading it, the woman on the ground suddenly rushed up, snatched the letter and started tearing it apart while crying loudly.

"What did I say!! Why did you die!! You are their cannon fodder! You bastard! Why don't you listen!!!"

The boy crawled and knelt and smashed to the ground, picking up the scraps of paper with his hands. His tears kept streaming down. Hearing his mother's scolding, he retorted with a trembling voice: "Dad is not cannon fodder. He is a hero. He told me that!"

"Bullshit hero! He's dead!! Your father is dead! He's never coming back! He's not the cannon fodder he sent to die!" The woman yelled hysterically at her son, and leaned against the door frame cry.

"My dad is a hero." The boy said again, looking at the collected scraps of paper in his hand.

Charles squatted down, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said in a very firm tone: "That's right! Your father is a hero, the hero who saved Earthsea."

The boy raised his head and looked straight at the man facing him.

"Receive the paper, it will be useful in the future." Charles stood up after speaking, turned and left with his daughter.

Neither of them spoke and continued to walk forward, Shining lowered his head and kicked the stones under his feet, "Dad, do you need me to make them live better?"

Charles thought for a while, then turned his head to look at them again, and found that the woman in the distance was kneeling on the ground, crying and putting the scraps of paper back together.

He said with a complicated expression: "That's not what they want, let's go back, go home."
