Charles' heart skipped a beat when he heard that the people of the Fortan Cult really had a way to restore the crew's health.
"Let's make a deal. I'll give you the address. You tell me the method."
As the only witness, only Charles knew where the gate of the God of Fortan was.
Of course, Charles had a trick up his sleeve here. He only told them the location of the god Futan, but didn't say he would take them there.
The Abyss Trench is so big that you can just search anywhere. Not to mention the complicated ceremony of opening the door, just the fact that only Idic's chosen one can find the door is a huge hassle.
Charles didn't want these cultists to really find the location of God Futan. It would be a big joke if they accidentally woke God Futan up.
"Tell me the place first. When we meet the great and powerful one, we will naturally tell you the solution."
Charles raised his mouth and sneered, "Do you think I'm stupid? If you really want to trade, then show some sincerity. Help me treat the two crew members first, and then I will tell you the general direction."
In response to Charles' suggestion, the twisting black shadow had no intention of speaking anymore, and just hovered in the same place without moving.
Just when Charles was wondering whether the other party was weighing the price, he suddenly felt his brain inside his skull tighten, as if something was pulling his brain. Those were Anna's two tentacles.
"Bang!" The door was kicked open and Anna walked in with a frown on her face.
"Be careful, he's snooping into your memory. This thing has no intention of doing business with you properly."
"Fuck!" Charles was furious, and swung over with a transparent tentacle with white electric arcs, breaking up the water shadow.
The black water that was scattered everywhere by the tentacles quickly squirmed and gathered together again.
But with a flick of Anna's finger, the pool of water quickly fell to the ground and turned into a pool of ordinary fresh water again.
"What's going on? How did you get to communicate with the people of the Futan Church? I remember that before, because they sent the Deep Divers to attack Hope Island, you fought with them to the death, didn't you?"
Charles explained to her what had happened in a few words, then sat back down on the leather armchair, frowning as he thought about what had just happened.
"Next time you communicate with them, remember to call me. These crazy people always like to play dirty tricks. I have dealt with them before."
Charles looked up at her and asked, "Have you dealt with them before? When?"
Anna came over and sat down on Charles' lap, putting her arms around his neck.
"I've dealt with so many things. What are you going to do next? It doesn't look like they want to help you."
Charles subconsciously put his arm around Anna's waist. "This exchange was not without results. At least what Feuerbach said was right. The Fortan Cult really has a way to cure the madness of the crew. The next step is to figure out how to get it."
"This isn't an island exploration. They are a bunch of cult lunatics who have been entrenched in the Earthsea for hundreds of years. Do you want to break into their lair alone and force them to hand it over? Are you acting like you're in a movie?"
"Of course I know that, but don't forget that in addition to being the captain of the Narwhal, I am also the governor of Hope Island. I can think of a solution from this aspect."
"Can it work? Just rely on Hope Island, which you have only explored for five years? They have a large number of believers, and they have unclear relations with some natives who believe in Futan." Anna showed a trace of disbelief on her face.
"They just fought a tough battle with the Church of Light, and then they were baptized by the God of Light. The current Futan Church will never start a war easily unless they want to destroy the church."
Anna thought about it and nodded. "Hmm~ Hearing what you said, you really have the ability to compete with them. Do you want me to order the navy to withdraw from Ancha Island first?"
After thinking for a while, Charles slowly said, "Okay, let the navy make all preparations. If we really want to take action, we must completely solve this hidden danger. Since we have completely offended him, we will just kill him!"
Anna seemed to have her own opinion on this order.
"Charles, if you are not in a hurry, you can wait. You can see that the technology on Hope Island is progressing rapidly because of the Relic Research Institute."
"Time is on our side. Because of the light of the God of Light, at least 80% of the people in the entire Earth Sea died. The cult is also a religion. No one does not say that there are believers. They can't even afford the sacrifices."
"As for weapons, if we are given some time, it will be no problem for us to restore them to the level of World War II in a few years. Combined with the various random relics from Earthsea, those lunatics are no match for us."
"When that time comes, you can just lead your army over there. Whatever solution to your madness you want, will they dare not give it to you?"
Charles frowned as he thought about this method. Although this method would take longer, it would cause less damage to Hope Island. After all, if a war really broke out, people would die.
Although I don't want to say it, the light of the God of Light killed so many people, but Hope Island was not affected at all. This is a good opportunity for development without anyone disturbing it.
After carefully balancing for a while, Charles said, "Let's send someone to test their bottom line first. No matter what we do next, we must first see how strong the other party is."
Looking at Charles' profile, Anna sighed slightly and said faintly: "Do you know why I deliberately let the female giant accompany you?"
Charles glanced at his wife in surprise.
"You finally let go of your obsession, and I just wanted you to have a good rest, but I didn't expect that after just a few days of rest, you would start to cause other troubles again."
"As long as people are alive, they will always have troubles. Only the dead will not have troubles. There is finally a breakthrough in the crew's affairs. This is at least a good thing. In addition, there is Lily."
When Charles said this, the cute little mouse flashed through his mind. "At least a crazy person won't die, but a mouse only lives for a few years. Lily's matter is more urgent."
Charles didn't intend to make the same mistake again. This time, he definitely wouldn't wait until Lily was about to die before trying to find a solution.
"Lily..." Anna looked at Charles thoughtfully.
Charles frowned slightly when he felt something was wrong in the other person's eyes. "What?"
"I was thinking, with your taste, a mouse would be no problem?"
"What's wrong with you?"
