Mysteries of the Earthsea

Chapter 93 Muppet

"Don't pay attention to those guys, they are all ignorant mortals, no matter how powerful they are, they are just low-level animals driven by desires. Only by finding the land of light and entering the kingdom of the God of Light can we humans obtain eternal Happiness and peace."

It was rare for Charles to agree with what Curd said.

No matter how powerful it is, what's the use of being trapped on these islands that don't know when they will sink. They can endure the darkness like this, it's just that they haven't seen the light.

After Ke De exchanged information with Charles, he immediately sailed away again. Looking at his anxious back, Charles felt that he had seen himself before.

When the hope of returning home was getting closer, he was not as anxious as he was at the beginning.

The next morning, Charles opened his eyes, and found himself lying in an unknown bar again, with two bunny girls with revealing bodies in his arms.

He shook his dizzy head and walked out of the bar.

"Don't waste echoes in this kind of place, don't forget, we still have 3 million to buy a new arm." Charles said to another personality in his heart.

"This kind of cheap place can cost you a lot of money if you cover it all. Don't bother me, I'm tired."

Charles looked around and walked towards the bat hotel that now belonged to him. He needed to continue sketching with a drawing board to reduce mental pollution.

When he got home, he found an unexpected person sitting on the sofa. It was a doctor.

"How did you get in? I don't remember giving you a key."

"Your mouse opened the door for me."

Lily, who was standing on the pillow, nodded repeatedly, with an expression that was about to praise me.

"Is there a problem?"

The doctor jumped off the sofa and limped towards the outside, "Come with me, I've contacted those guys who sell prosthetic limbs, and they want to meet you."

Upon hearing this, Charles immediately put down the drawing board from his hand. No one likes to lose an arm, and neither does he.

Charles followed the doctor into a car and drove towards the island.

Coral Island is neither big nor small. The car drove around various streets and alleys for more than an hour, and finally came to the extremely prosperous island center.

Compared with the chaotic port area, the island center area located in the center of the island is another scene.

Expensive electric lights are grandly placed on the street in this place, and the beggars, lunatics and street children in the port are replaced by polite gentlemen, ladies with puppies, and all kinds of private cars that are constantly flowing.

The beautiful singing came from the gramophone in the high-end shop nearby, and Charles glanced at the pair of sky blue leather shoes behind the glass from the corner of his eye. "Shaqin brand men's high-heeled shoes, priced at 35,000 echoes."

The dirty doctor and the one-armed Charles were walking on the street, so out of tune with the surrounding environment, this incongruity quickly attracted the attention of others.

"Beep-beep-beep-beep!" Two tall law enforcement officers in black uniforms walked over in a majestic manner, whistling.

"Hey!! You two, stop! People with disheveled clothes are not allowed to enter the center of the island!! What if the important people see that you are so poor and hurt their hearts!"

The doctor with the wine jug took half a step back, letting Charles out.

Charles didn't even bother to say anything, and took out the certificate that he applied for as an explorer.

As soon as he saw the anchor mark of the Explorers Association, the expression on his face instantly changed from contempt and contempt to taboo with a hint of fear.

"I... Let me tell you, don't mess around here. Your Excellencies on the governor's warship are also living nearby."

As soon as they finished speaking, the two turned around and left in a panic, and the sound of their conversation continued to pass into Charles' keen ears from outside.

"Why did the lunatics at sea come here? Damn it! Why am I on duty today!"

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and ask someone to keep an eye on them, we won't have a good time if anything happens to them!"

Seeing that the little trouble was resolved, the doctor continued to walk forward. He walked on the bustling street for half an hour, and finally stopped in front of a high-end coffee shop in the center of the island.

The colorful glass wind chimes in the coffee shop rang, and the doctor and Charles came to the bright and tidy house.

Ignoring the surprised customers in suits and leather shoes, the doctor walked straight to the kitchen behind.

In the kitchen, the baker concentrated on tracing the edges of the small cake, as if he didn't see the two people who came in.

"Why do the prosthetics decide the place here?"

"Hmph, that's just part of their business, they know more than that."

Behind the stuffy kitchen was an empty room. In the center of the room sits an elderly woman reading a newspaper in a rocking chair with reading glasses.

Half-frame reading glasses, old-fashioned clothes with big flowers, just from the appearance, this old lady is a kind grandma.

"Hey, Ulun told us to come here." The doctor said to the old lady stiffly.

The old lady looked at Charles' empty left sleeve, nodded and stood up from the rocking chair. Slowly walked towards the kitchen.

"Is she helping me make prosthetics?"

Hearing the words behind him, the doctor didn't look back, took out the tin flagon and took a sip with his head up. "No, Uren from Black Leaf Island will do it for you."

"Black Leaf Island? It will take at least three months from there to Coral Island. I can't wait so long."

"Of course I know you are impatient, don't worry, just look at it, they are capable of doing business all over Haize, of course they have their own way."

Hearing this, Charles stopped talking. He was curious about how he could fit himself a prosthetic when he was not around.

The kitchen door was opened again, and the old lady came back with a simple cloth satchel in her hand.

"Back back, both of you," she said, opening her toothless mouth.

When she saw Charles and the doctor standing next to the wall, she squatted down slowly, touched some black mucus-like things in the cloth bag with her wrinkled right hand, and began to draw on the ground.

All kinds of complicated black unknown characters were drawn by her fingers, and the characters were closely arranged, finally forming a mysterious magic circle with an outer circle and an inner inverted triangle.

A tattered bear puppet toy was placed in the middle of the circle, and the old woman took out a few black candles and placed them around the puppet according to a certain pattern.

A blunt and obscure incantation came out of her mouth, and a hair-tingling feeling instantly enveloped the entire room.

The incantation started slowly and then quickly, and the old lady's voice became higher and higher. Eventually the spell came to an abrupt end at the apex.

The candlelight swayed, and suddenly went out, and the bear puppet placed on the ground wobbled and stood up.

Its eyes made of black fruit pits swept towards the people in the house.
