"The second one is this kind of death ray that exterminates humanity. Is it related to the disappeared Church of Light?" Julio's words echoed in the deserted hall.
Anna looked at him in surprise, "Governor Julio, do you still care about this?"
Nonsense! Do you know how many people died on my island because of this thing? And because of this, my four sons and six grandchildren also died!"
Hearing this, Anna frowned slightly, "Why do you only count men and not women? Are your daughter and granddaughter okay? The sun shouldn't only shine on men and not women, right?"
In an instant, Julio exuded a terrifying murderous aura, and as his sharp eyes shot towards Anna, Anna felt as if sharp knives were scraping against her body.
"Don't change the subject! I'm not the only one in the entire Earthsea who wants to ask this question! Previously, the Church of Light had the closest relationship with your Hope Island. If you really want to conceal it for them, then be prepared to become an enemy of the entire Earthsea!"
"Hey, why are you so anxious? I'm telling you, the truth is, it's very simple. This is all a conspiracy by the Pope..."
In this dim hall, Anna told Julio everything that had happened. Of course, she naturally concealed some things about Charles.
As Anna finished speaking, Julio's eyes became terribly gloomy. "Is what you said true? The God of Light has awakened and is heading to the surface?"
"Yes, and He died. He died on the surface. Charles and I left Hope Island this time to go to the surface. We turned back when we saw how dangerous the surface was."
Julio's eyes widened when he heard this, "How is this possible! That's a god! What kind of being can kill a god!!"
"Do you think I'll have an answer to a question of this magnitude? If I really encountered that kind of existence on the surface, I'm afraid I would have been unable to come back long ago."
Julio said nothing more, he just sat there digesting all the shocking information he had just heard.
After a long time, he stood up with a serious expression and said, "I will send people to the surface to find out whether what you said is true. I hope that what you said will not be found to be false by me."
"Haha. I advise you not to do this unless necessary. If you lead the things above to the Earth Sea, we will all be doomed." Anna said with a hint of sarcasm.
"You have no right to meddle in my affairs. Not only you, but no one else has the right to meddle in my affairs either." Julio turned and walked towards the door of the hall.
"Okay, but let's be clear, the island below the surface exit was discovered by us. According to the rules of the Explorers Association, that island is also ours."
Julio showed a trace of disdain on his face and walked away with big strides. As the footsteps gradually faded away, Julio's figure disappeared in front of Anna.
"Tsk, this old man has a really bad temper. I really want to taste his meat to see if it's that bad too."
Anna frowned slightly and twirled her long, shiny hair with her hands, thinking thoughtfully about what had just happened.
After a few minutes, she patted Shanshan's head with her hand and said, "Send me back."
Shanshan nodded. She jumped off her mother and ran to the table. She hugged the ten apples in her hands and then teleported Anna away.
Charles, who was writing in his diary on the floating airship, heard the noise behind him. Without turning his head, he asked, "Why did you take so long? Is there any trouble on the island?"
"It's nothing. It's been resolved. Julio has come to our island." Anna let go of Shanshan and lay lazily on the soft bed.
"Julio?! What is he doing on the island?" Charles turned around quickly with a serious expression.
It is obviously abnormal that the most powerful governor in Earthsea would come to Hope Island at this time.
Anna briefly told Charles about the other party's background and his reaction.
Charles put the pen in his hand on the table and sighed. "You think the number of dead people is not enough."
"Who knows? Anyway, we have to be careful. This is a place where the law of the jungle prevails. We can't rely entirely on the kindness of others. Things are different now than before. Since we can't go to the surface anymore, Hope Island will be our home in the future. By the way, give me your phone."
"Cell phone?" Charles was stunned. Anna jumped to the topic so quickly that he was unable to react.
"Yes, give me the phone. Is the tablet from before also there? Give it to me too."
Charles raised his prosthetic leg, and his cell phone popped out of his palm and tossed it to her.
"It's useless to keep it with you anyway. Maybe the Relic Research Institute can copy it." Anna took the phone, stretched out her hand and put it on Shanshan, and the two of them disappeared on the spot.
Charles looked at the empty room, frowning as he thought about the impact of this incident.
Time passed little by little, and the airship Charles was riding slowly approached Hope Island.
But unlike the grand procession that came before, this time only the airship returned. The navy's fleet has been stationed on Ancha Island and is building strongholds and docks.
Fortunately, before coming here, they had already brought various supplies for going to the surface, and now they are just in time to use them.
The airship in the air will not be harmed by any sea monsters, and its speed is a bit slower than that of a ship. This kind of life is really boring.
When Charles saw the shed on Hope Island appear before his eyes again, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
He was really not used to this kind of life where he did nothing but ate and slept every day.
Just as the airship slowly landed at the repaired airport, he saw a familiar face among the waiting crowd that he had not seen for a long time.
Charles had just jumped off the airship and was caught by Elizabeth, who was very excited. The force was so great that Charles' feet left the ground.
"My dear, you are finally back. I missed you so much!!"
"Let me go, I can't breathe." Charles pulled his head out of the softness with force.
At this moment, Anna slowly walked down the stairs, and when she saw this scene, a trace of disgust appeared on her face.
Elizabeth hugged Charles closer again as if in protest.
Anna didn't even bother to look at her and got into a car next to her.
"Anna, where are you going?" Charles turned his head and asked.
"Of course I'm making room for you. Why? Do you want both of you to come together? Aren't you afraid that this woman will sleep with me while you're asleep and cheat on you?"
After saying this in a sarcastic tone, Anna turned to the driver and said, "Go to the Relics Research Institute."
