"Hey, stop looking. I've finished filling it out. Everything will be fine from now on, right?" Charles patted the signed document on the mustache man's chest.
The man with a mustache seemed to have just woken up from a dream and quickly reached out to catch the papers.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. This island is so beautiful that I can't take my eyes away. By the way, Governor Charles, based on the agreement you made with our association, you must give up a piece of land for us to build a new Explorers Association. Of course, we will pay the taxes we should pay."
Charles brushed him off with a few casual words. These things were trivial matters and his main task now was to find the person in charge of the Church of Light.
But before he could take two steps, someone shouted, "The Governor of the island is here," and a large group of people rushed up.
"Governor, do you need an accountant? I have been doing accounting for many years and have a lot of experience. I have no problem calculating money."
"Governor, do you need an island plan? I graduated from the Mawr College of Design in England."
"Governor, I used to work at the Seventh Division of Hefang Island and have extensive experience in various mysteries. When I heard that you occupied a new island, I resigned and came to assist you."
They rushed to Charles, each with a desire to be hired on his face.
Charles looked at these people with some impatience. It would be fine if it was just the Explorers Association, but how come even these guys got the news? Don’t the people in the Sun God Cult have any way of keeping their mouths shut
Seeing the crowd in front of him getting bigger and bigger, Charles quickly looked around and pointed at the silent Bandage in the corner. "Go to him for everything on the island. He is responsible for the personnel management on the island."
The crowd rushed forward and quickly covered the bandage that was standing there in a daze.
Looking at the white triangular heads running around in front of him, Charles really had a headache. These people haven't recovered yet, and everyone's face is either excited or crying.
"Bang, bang, bang!" Bullets punched several holes in the straw hut. Seeing that everyone was looking over here, Charles said, "I am Charles, the governor of this island. Who is your leader?"
Soon, an old man with white hair and wearing a golden robe walked out from the crowd. The unnatural excitement on his face had not subsided. "Where is Ke De?"
"He is dead. He died under the light of your God of Light."
To Charles' surprise, the old man in front of him did not feel sad. Instead, he showed a relieved expression on his face. The old man and the believers of the God of Light around him began to put their fingers on the triangle of their foreheads and began to recite prayers.
A few minutes later, the old man put his hand down and walked towards Charles. "I am Cardinal Huon of the British Isles. Are you the captain who found the Land of Light with Kede?"
Charles didn't come to talk to them about this. He pointed to the thatched hut above his head. "You've seen the photos, right? Have you figured out how to get up there?"
Hook nodded and said a few words to the servant behind him. Soon, an old woman who was only 1.4 meters tall floated over.
Charles shook his head. "No one can do that, even if she can fly. This sunlight can easily take her life."
Hu En stroked his beard and smiled confidently. "Don't worry, Governor Charles. The Church of Light has all kinds of equipment to explore various islands. We brought them all here for the Land of Light this time."
Soon, a layer of black plastic clothing like a swimsuit was draped over the old woman, with two thick dark lenses hanging on her head.
The woman walked in the sun for a few minutes wearing the strange clothes, and there was nothing unusual about her body. The clothes worked.
"Remember, after reaching the land of light, if you meet the God of Light, pray to Him devoutly, asking Him to have mercy on us lost lambs, and begging Him to cancel the divine punishment in the divine light. We are all guilty, and we are willing to be judged in the Kingdom of God." Hu En explained carefully to the old woman.
The old woman nodded, floated out of the hut, and flew towards the crack in the air in full view of everyone.
Charles stood in the sunshine, watching the man fly higher and higher, and finally completely merge into the sunshine.
No matter how fine the details were, Charles couldn't see them clearly because it was too high and too bright.
"Governor Charles, why can you stand under the divine light without being harmed? Is there any special relic?" Hu En asked in surprise.
Charles did not answer him. He covered his eyes which were tearing from being stabbed and walked into the hut.
He was no longer in the mood to explain. When he thought that everything on the surface would be revealed, Charles began to get excited again.
Whether it's the Earth stopping rotating at the poles or some other disaster, whatever it is will soon be revealed.
Soon the news of the exploration of the Land of Light spread throughout the entire Island of Hope, and people were talking about it, imagining what it looked like up there.
"Tick-tock." As Charles' pocket watch slowly ticked away, the discussions became less and less, and finally there was an inexplicable atmosphere in the air.
Several hours had passed, and the old woman seemed to be absorbed by the sunlight and never came down again.
Hu En also had a bad look on his face. With a gloomy face, he gathered in a group with other believers of the Church of Light and were discussing something intensely. Judging from the clothes on those people, their status in the church was not low.
Charles had no appetite for the grilled fish and coconuts his sailors had brought him. He walked out of the hut again with a frown on his face, squinting at the gap in the sky. "What on earth is going on up there?"
Three more hours passed, and seeing that the woman really didn't come back, Hu En and his team came up with another plan. This time, they used two people, each of them had a fishing line tied around their waist.
"You two must supervise each other. No matter how tempting it is up there, you must bring the news down! All your compatriots in the church are waiting for your news. You can't just enjoy yourself." Hu En said with a serious expression, staring at the two young men in front of him.
"Are there any offensive relics? Let them take them with them. There might be danger on them." Charles reminded.
"What kind of danger can there be in God's territory?" Although Hu En said this, he still handed over a bracelet and a brown mass of wriggling flesh.
Everyone's heart was hanging in the air as they watched the nearly transparent fishing line being pulled up by the young man.
Shortly after the two boys disappeared in the sunlight, the fishing line suddenly paused, and then suddenly pulled up. Everyone who saw this scene exclaimed.
Charles rushed over quickly and put his hand on it to feel the force of the fishing line.
The fishing line was stretched straight at this time, as if there was something pulling it upwards from above.
This situation did not last long. Soon the fishing line in the air loosened and fell downwards.
When the front end of the fishing line appeared in front of everyone, it had been completely dyed red by blood.
