Chapter 807 Mark
In the waves of applause, the three of Charles seemed so out of place, the one-eyed captain turned his head to look at the girl crew member sitting beside him. "Can you tell me, did this act on purpose, or did the heroine improvise?"
Before the shocked Grace could answer, a fat woman next to her in a long skirt and spider silk gloves answered his question.
She covered her mouth with a fan, and looked up and down the captain's suit on Charles curiously. "This is the wonderful thing about this opera house~! No one knows which one is true. The more you want to know, the less they will tell you."
Charles nodded after thinking about it, and lifted his butt off the stool, "Let's go, we're done watching, we should go back."
"Don't rush away, this is the first story, and the following script will definitely be more exciting." The woman had just finished speaking when the curtain in front of her was lifted again.
A black umbrella the size of a small house appeared on the stage. Under the umbrella cover, a dozen human bodies were hung upside down by ropes and slowly rotated as the umbrella rotated.
Listening to the low-pitched narration began to tell the background, Charles looked at his daughter aside, "Are you still watching?"
"Well, it's really interesting, let's go after watching it." Shining stared at the stage and said intently.
Seeing what his daughter said, Charles sat down again and calmly looked at the new play on the stage.
This time the content is about the topic of belief, about the local belief in the Western Sea Region, the all-seeing eye.
As the performance continued on the stage, Charles knew that the Omniscient Eye was not the god of Earthsea. According to them, the Omniscient Eye was located between everyone's brows, and it was the third eye of everyone.
He was alive before, everyone was a part of him, and when he died, the ancient man had consciousness.
Omniscience is not a title, but His very existence. It is all knowledge itself, and everything in time is the product of the all-seeing eye, and the knowledge that humans continue to learn is the legacy of the all-seeing eye.
Human beings cannot see the eyes of reality in reality, and can only see them in illusions and dreams. Whenever someone obtains some knowledge from it, they have to pay a certain price.
The belief in the all-seeing eye seems to be a full-fledged movement in the Western Sea Territory. When the curtain came to an end, everyone, including Grace, clasped their hands together and approached their foreheads.
"This should be the local belief in Dihai, right? I don't know how they gradually developed." Charles thought to himself with his arms crossed.
While watching the third performance, Charles felt a gaze shot from behind, and he could feel that the gaze was not malicious, it was just staring at the back of his head.
Charles didn't say anything. As long as others don't provoke him, he doesn't intend to provoke others. After all, he came here today to accompany his daughter.
The applause in the theater followed one after another, and finally reached its peak at the climax of the fourth scene.
All the excited audience stood up from their seats and offered their sincere congratulations to the actors who were still alive on the stage.
Amidst the warm applause, Charles felt the eyes behind him gradually approaching. "Governor Charles?"
Charles looked at him sideways, and found that the man was a middle-aged man wearing high-top boots with shrewd eyes, and his shiny curly hair was very eye-catching.
With a confident smile on his face and a spotless bright white gown, he looked far more superior than Charles.
"This island is yours?" Charles reached out and patted Shining's head next to him, signaling that she was ready to leave.
"Mark Chelston, you can call me Mark, welcome to my island the hero who saved Earthsea." Governor Mark of Lighthouse Island extended his right hand to Charles.
When he just said this, Grace's eyes lit up, and she seemed a little eager to try.
The cold mechanical arm shook the opponent's hand. Charles looked at the confident face in front of him. For some reason, he felt inexplicably disgusted with this guy.
"Governor Charles, since the curtain is over, why don't you come to the Governor's Mansion?" Mark took his hand back.
"Okay." Charles walked out of the opera house with Winky and Grace.
The Opera House was not far from the Governor's Mansion, and Charles and the others arrived soon. After stepping on people's backs and getting off the carriage, a bright white manor that glowed by itself appeared in front of everyone.
Walking into the clean and reflective hall, rows of neat servants bent over in unison.
During this period, Mark has been using his superb speaking skills to try to figure out Charles' purpose, but when he heard Charles directly say that he is here for sightseeing, although he didn't say anything, he obviously didn't believe it in his heart.
In the following time, Mark enthusiastically introduced to Charles the various strange islands in the West Sea, and said that if you want to go sightseeing, you must go to those places.
Charles obviously saw that Mark was stalling for time, but since he was listening with interest, it didn't matter.
While the two were talking with different thoughts, Grace's expression on the side became more and more tangled.
Finally, when Mark stopped to drink, Grace suddenly stood up, "Governor Mark! Can I ask you something?"
Mark looked at Charles subconsciously, and when he saw that the other party didn't say anything, he smiled and looked at the disfigured girl in front of him. "Of course, my lovely lady, you are now a guest of Lighthouse Island. Of course, my master must satisfy the guest's request as much as possible."
Soon, Grace asked a question that he didn't expect. "Has the murderer been found for the tragedy under the Dolphin Bridge in Dongdao District?"
Mark's eyes flicked secretly between Grace and Charles, and he wanted to know whether the other party's question meant Charles himself.
What this woman asks is secondary. The most important thing now is to get Charles to leave Lighthouse Island with satisfaction. As the overlord of the North Sea, his current attitude can even determine the survival of an island.
After thinking for a few seconds, Mark smiled slightly, "That incident happened a long time ago. I would like to ask, how do you know this incident happened fifteen years ago?"
Grace bit her lower lip with her teeth, and her eye sockets gradually turned red, "My parents died at that time, I know I can't find any clues for such a long time, the hope must be very slim, but I just want to ask. "
Mark quickly showed a regretful expression on his face, "Miss, I'm sorry, I have spent a lot of manpower, but the murderer who caused that tragedy is probably a robber who fled the island. We have issued a wanted warrant, and there are no any clue."
