Chapter 847: Trading

"Touch!" The car door was closed heavily, and Charles, accompanied by James, strode towards the pier.

"I don't know what that thing is, but it doesn't look like a product of human beings. It is looking for you and seems to want to make a deal with you." James explained to his captain with a serious expression.

"I don't know how it knows your needs, but after barely communicating, he knows that you are currently looking for a certain god."

Hearing this key news, Charles narrowed his eyes slightly, and his steps became much faster. At this time, the pier had been cleared, leaving only the steel puppets on the beach pointed at by various spears.

"You want to make a deal with me?" Charles asked half of the puppet's head.

"It's us we know · you · seek"

As the puppet started to move, the dry sea mud on his body fell onto the sand one after another. The puppet's words were very incoherent, but he could barely understand the meaning he wanted to express.

"Know what I'm looking for? What's the name of the god I'm looking for?"

"P. North."

Hearing this, Charles's heart froze, the god he was looking for was indeed called by this name. "James, take everyone else away, I'll have a good chat with this thing."

The sound of clattering footsteps quickly disappeared, and after a while, only Charles and the huge metal puppet remained on the beach.

Although the people left, the muzzles on the battleship and the fort did not move, in case that thing plotted against the governor.

"Where is Punos now?" Charles asked directly,

Charles doesn't care what he is trading with him now, there are too many weird existences in Earthsea, he can't remember them, and now he just wants to complete the 005 agreement as soon as possible.

"Deal · Chip · Request" the puppet uttered three cold Earth-sea words.

Although the other party's Hai language was not very fluent, Charles still understood what he was going to say. "Fair deal, what do you need?"

"Living island, no attacking living island."

islands? There was a hint of hesitation on Charles' face. The price was a bit high. There were only a few living islands in his hands, and it was a bit too bad to trade them now.

But soon, he decided to agree to the other party's request. Compared with the last thing he lost in Earthsea, this was nothing at all.

"Okay, I agree, tell me now, where is that Punos?"

The rusty body shook slightly and then said a word, "in the sea."

Hearing this information, Charles finally knew that he had searched for it for several months with the power of all human beings in the sea, why there was no news at all, and it turned out that the thing had shrunk into the sea.

"First officer! Bring a chart!!" Charles shouted to James who was waiting in the distance.

Soon a very detailed map of the earth and sea was laid out in front of the puppet, "Where is he? Mark his current position."

The puppet shook its body and came to the chart, stretched out its rusty finger and pointed it, but the location it pointed at was not any area on the chart.

The rusty finger directly poked a hole in the sand next to the map.

"Unexplored area?" Charles frowned slightly.

Due to too many deaths, the people in Earthsea now live a much better life than before, and even the Explorers Association has not released any more exploration missions.

But this does not mean that the Earth Sea only has such a large area explored by human beings. No one knows where the boundary of the Earth Sea is, or whether there is a boundary.

Beyond the human ocean lies a seemingly endless unexplored territory, where no one has ever been.

After visually measuring the distance between the Finger Pit and Hope Island, Charles found that it was far enough away. It would take two months at the shortest time to go there by boat.

This still does not include the possible dangers in the unexplored area.

If there is any accident in the middle, it will waste some more time.

After thinking for a while, Charles raised his head again to look at the metal puppet in front of him, pointed to the hole in the sand and asked, "Where do you live?"

The puppet shook his head slightly, "Trading reward."

"No problem, first officer, go ask Julio, the East China Sea has just been cleared, and he must still have some living islands in his hands, buy one in my name."

Although a living island is precious, I hope that the rich and powerful can still afford it, and the quality of the islands varies from island to island. Islands with no resources and no special products are completely fine with the current market price.

After Charles finished speaking, he looked up at the mechanical head of the puppet in front of him, "Just wait on the island. After the island is purchased, you can send someone to receive it. Whether it's living or other things, it's up to you."

He promised so readily, of course Charles had his own considerations, no matter what it was, as long as they landed on that island, if it was a trap, if they wanted to take this opportunity to sneak attack on him, they would probably have to weigh it carefully.

"Okay, soon, trade me together, arrive. Then reward"

After the huge metal puppet finished speaking, it raised its feet and began to walk backwards into the deep sea.

Looking at the head submerged by the waves, Lily, who flew onto Charles' shoulder, tilted her head and asked, "Mr. Charles, does it mean to go to that place with us? Is it the navigator on the ship?"

Charles nodded slightly. After stroking Lily's head with his hand, he strode towards the pier next to him, "It's not us, it's me. You stay on the island well. Finally I have a clue, as long as the last thing is found. It can be over."

"Mr. Charles, what are you talking about?"

"It's nothing, you can wait with peace of mind, by then, everyone's wishes can come true."

———————————————

James slowly opened his eyes. He lifted the quilt and began to take off the pajamas on his body, and began to change into the clothes he was wearing for work.

Just as he was using those buttons to strangle the fat on his stomach, the door of the bedroom was quietly opened, and a pair of eyes peeked in from the outside.

Although it had been a long time since the former explorer James got off the exploration ship, he couldn't even detect the sound of the door opening.

"Is my little sweetheart looking for daddy?" James slowly turned around and looked at his daughter outside.

A cute little girl who looked only seven or eight years old jumped and ran in, her feet in red leather shoes jumped hard, and she opened her arms and threw herself directly on James' stomach. "Dad~"

"Hey~" James' eyes were full of love, he passed his hands under his daughter's armpit, then lifted her up in the air, and started to turn around, the delicate and warm bedroom was filled with the joyful laughter of the little girl .

After going back and forth a few times, James took her in his arms and kissed her on the cheek. "Let's go, go to breakfast, don't be late for class."
