"Bang!" Charles suddenly stood up and struggled to run towards the round porthole next to him, but Anna hurriedly stopped him.
"It's safe, it's safe. We are now at least a hundred kilometers away from the British Isles. It's over."
With Anna's help, Charles lay down on the boat again. Looking at his wife in front of him and thinking about what had happened, a bitter smile appeared on his face.
Is everything really over? Why does he feel like this is just the beginning
"Do you recognize the thing Swan summoned?" Charles' hoarse voice echoed in the cabin.
The smile on Anna's face disappeared, and her expression became a little hesitant. "I'm not comfortable saying his real name, you can call him the Dusk Reveller."
Reveler? The giant sound detected by sound waves, which was several times louder than "Lonka", emerged in Charles' mind.
Now that I think about it, this mysterious god was not humanoid, but more like a sphere.
"He... How strong is he?"
Anna did not answer. The only sound in the room was the sound of waves coming in from the window.
Charles suddenly realized that he had asked a boring question, because without any comparison, no one in Earthsea knew the true strength of these things.
Their predecessors who had been to sea would only tell them that the gods were not just legends passed down by word of mouth among sailors. They were real.
If you encounter them at sea, run as far as you can. If they have already set their sights on you, then you can only lie on the deck humbly and pray in your heart that they will leave.
There is no record of any rebellion against the gods in Earthsea's history, or perhaps there was, but they have all disappeared now.
"Do you know how many people there are in the British Isles?"
"I guess there must be at least 10 million people. I don't know the specific situation." Anna put the diary in the drawer beside her.
Charles took a breath, trying to let go of the depression in his heart, but it didn't work.
The entire British Isles were finished, and so were the people on the island. The spiritual pollution caused by looking directly at God could kill everyone on the island.
"By the way, let me tell you something happy. Your crew members followed your instructions and captured all the people at the dock."
Although he achieved the purpose of his trip to the British Isles, Charles did not feel happy at all.
10 million of his kind were gone just like that. Even though Charles was very indifferent to other people's lives, this was 10 million people!!
Human empathy made Charles' eyes red and his breathing became heavy.
Who was to blame? Swann? The Pope? Or those gods who couldn't look straight? Charles didn't know.
He asked with a hint of struggle in his voice: "Anna, maybe if we don't force Swan so much, maybe the situation won't have to come to this point. Maybe there are other solutions." There was hesitation in Charles' voice.
Hearing Charles' abnormal mood, Anna took off her high heels, jumped onto the bed and curled up.
"Forget about it. This is not your fault. It has nothing to do with you. You can't save them. No one in this world can save them."
A pair of white hands reached out and held Charles in a warm embrace as if holding a baby. Anna closed her eyes and hummed a song softly. It was the lullaby that Charles often listened to when he was a child.
With Anna's comfort, Charles gradually calmed down.
Anna opened her eyes, gently stroked Charles' face for a while, and then said, "Charles, do you still want to return to the surface?"
"Aren't you afraid that when you go up, these so-called gods will follow you up?"
Charles spoke with difficulty. "Do you think a thin layer of crust can really stop those things?"
If they really wanted to go up, they would have gone up long ago.
Seeing that Charles' mood was starting to get low again, Anna leaned forward and began to divert his attention, saying, "Gao Zhiming, I have good news for you. I have found a way to get rid of the habit of cannibalism. If you find the exit from the surface, don't forget to wait for me."
Charles slowly turned his eyes from the ceiling to her, "Really? Is it possible? Didn't you say that the Diva people would never change their diet?"
"It's possible or not, it all depends on human efforts. For the people of Earthsea, it's also impossible for you to find the land of light, but you're still searching. So let's put it this way, cheer up and go find your surface!"
Charles looked at Anna in front of him, and suddenly he thought of something. He said with a serious expression: "Is this method related to the Heike tribe? Don't get involved with them, they are very dangerous!"
Charles quickly told Anna what Elizabeth's grandfather had told him.
Anna shook her head slowly. "But think about it. Since they can create other creatures, doesn't this just represent their strength? Changing a creature's eating habits is not a big deal. Don't worry, I know what I am doing."
Just as Charles was about to say what to write, his lips were blocked by Anna's red lips. A few minutes later, Anna, with a blush on her face, put her lips close to Charles' ear.
"Don't think too much. You are very tired now, come and relax..."
As Anna hung her entire body up, the light bulb in the room shattered.
Charles' reaction was more intense than Anna had imagined. He seemed to want to vent all the negative desires in his heart.
During this period, Lily came once, but she left with a red face before she could knock on the door.
On the morning of the third day, Anna kissed Charles on the face and got out of his arms. "I should go. Someone is calling me outside."
Charles stretched out his hand and grasped her smooth and delicate calf, "Don't go."
Anna's white and slender legs quickly turned into tentacles and slid out of Charles' hands. "Do you think I'm a doll? Do you plan to leave me on the island and wait for you to come back and play with me every day? Come on, I have my own things to do."
After putting on her skirt, Anna reached into Charles' clothes with her right hand and rummaged around, and the Bat Mirror appeared in her hand.
She pinched the relic between her fingers and shook it at Charles, "I'm taking this thing away. You can't use it anymore."
"What do you want this for? It's very useful to me."
This relic is very powerful. Not only does it give Charles the ability to fly, but it also has powerful healing and ultrasonic functions. These functions have helped Charles a lot during his adventures, and he cannot lose this.
Charles reached out to grab it, but Anna dodged it.
"Look at your teeth, they are longer than those of a real vampire. It really hurts me. I won't let you use such a dangerous thing again. See you later."
