And Charles didn't just say this, he issued a bounty.
From now on, anyone who is a member of the Futan Church can come to Hope Island to exchange for a bounty by bringing their head with a tentacle tattoo.
Charles is not afraid of the other party's revenge. The other party no longer has Swan. Unless he wants to engage in an unprecedented war, he can never think of completely destroying Hope Island. Although Hope Island is remote, it is not a pushover.
Unconsciously, Charles' voice has gained some weight in Earthsea.
And now that the relationship has been completely torn apart, will the other party not come to cause trouble for me if I pretend not to know
If Dipper hadn't revealed the news in advance, Hope Island would have been devastated, and the relationship between this religion and Charles would have completely turned into a mortal enemy.
Regarding this matter, although there is no evidence to show that the Deep Diver was definitely ordered by the Futan Cult.
But following Charles's statement, people on other islands became noticeably colder towards the Ftanites.
The previous rumors about sacrificing the entire British Isles were detrimental to the public opinion of the Futan Church, and now it is even more difficult to explain.
Even though it is a cult, those who survived in Earthsea may not be afraid of them.
When a religion is hated by those in power, their missionary work becomes very difficult.
Although the Futan religion sacrifices living people, it is nothing. Human life is worthless in Earthsea, not to mention that they sacrifice their own believers every time.
But this is a big deal, it is to collude with foreign races to attack their own people, this is a bottom line. If this bottom line is touched, then it will be the enemy of all mankind.
In this situation, even their almighty god Futan could not help them.
During this period, Charles also received a telegram from the Fortan Church, but he was too lazy to pay attention to it. Now the two sides are mortal enemies, and it would be futile to say anything more.
After resolving this matter, Charles began to reward people based on their merits. The navy had obviously made a great contribution this time, and most of them received war subsidies that were dozens of times more than their salaries.
Those who rushed to Swan's three places with Charles gained more benefits. Every one of them who survived received echo coins that were enough to easily buy a large house in the center of the island, and their status in the Police Headquarters was greatly improved.
Hope Island's finances are currently very healthy and these remunerations can still be paid.
When everything was over, Hope Island started to hold a celebratory dinner to celebrate their victory.
Almost all the important people on the island came, including officials from the Governor's Office and some presidents of chambers of commerce. The relationship between them became closer than before.
"Captain! I didn't stay at home at that time, I went on board! I also killed the enemy! I am rich now, and I bought a lot of relics." Frey, the drunk former chef of the Narwhal, shook his chubby body and boasted to Charles.
"Really? That's hard work." Charles, dressed in a straight and formal suit, quietly supported him with his transparent tentacles. He was really afraid that he would fall. He hadn't seen him for a while and this guy had gained weight again.
"Charles, who is this person? He looks familiar." Anna, wearing a gorgeous white dress, walked over with a glass of wine.
Just as Charles was about to speak, Frey next to him looked as if he had seen a ghost, and his drunken face turned pale in an instant.
He suddenly remembered who the woman in front of him was, and the fear buried in his heart was quickly brought out.
"Ah--" Frey, who was terrified, was about to scream when Charles covered his mouth with his hand.
"Haha, this guy is tall and fat, so cute, and looks delicious."
"Don't make such jokes, I don't like it." Charles frowned slightly.
"Hahaha, why are you so sensitive?" Anna leaned on Charles, put her arms around his neck and laughed.
As the governor, his every move was under the scrutiny of others, not to mention the sudden appearance of such a beautiful woman next to him.
Of course, this did not include the crew of the Narwhal. They knew this woman, and they quickly gathered together with serious expressions, listening to the terrified Frey's excited gestures.
"Look, so many women are staring at me with hostility. It seems that you are quite popular here. Tell me, have you cheated on me?"
"What are you thinking about?" Charles pulled Anna's hand away.
"Don't think I don't know. You men all think with your lower body. Take the one named Elizabeth for example."
Just as Anna said this, Elizabeth, with white curly hair, walked over confidently.
"This must be Miss Anna. Hello, I've heard Charles mention you." She took Anna's hand and kissed it gently.
Charles felt a little uncomfortable because this was not the etiquette a woman would use.
Anna opened her mouth slightly at this moment, not noticing the other party's wrong manners at all. She looked up at the two-meter-tall beauty and said in surprise: "Oh my God! Gao Zhiming, so this is your Elizabeth? Your taste is really special, not like me, but like her."
Looking at the two women in front of him, a question flashed through Charles' mind: What should I say now
Before he could figure out the problem, Anna had already started communicating with Elizabeth, and they were talking and laughing happily.
"Charles, this Miss Elizabeth is really interesting. I'll go upstairs and have a good chat with her."
After Anna finished speaking, she walked towards the stairs in the distance. Charles was about to ask something when he was stopped by Elizabeth.
She lowered her head and gave him a light kiss, then smiled and said to him, "Dear, your wife is so beautiful, isn't she?"
"Huh?" Looking at the women leaving one after another, Charles felt something was wrong.
Just when he wanted to hide and sneak up to find out more, the crew members in the distance swarmed over and surrounded him.
"Captain, why is it her? Didn't you shoot her to death? What's going on?" James said excitedly.
He had just ordered the guards outside to gather secretly, but facing something that could control human thoughts, he was really unsure.
"Yes, Captain, have you forgotten what she really looks like? I heard that you found a woman before, and I thought you finally got it and were finally going to prepare an heir, but it turned out to be her!!"
"Captain, think carefully, has your memory been modified by her? Feel for any inconsistencies with reality."
