"Linda, Linda, are you in there?" The vampire Audric gently knocked on the door with his pale right hand with sharp nails.
There was no response in the cabin, as if no one was there, but Odrick knew that the ship's doctor Linda was inside.
When she heard the captain say that all the members of the Church of Light went to the surface, but the God of Light died on the surface and has been hiding in the room ever since, her lifeless look when she left made Odric very worried.
"I've put the food and water at the door. If you feel hungry, take some in and eat. I'll come back this afternoon to get you some new ones."
After saying this, seeing that there was still no response from inside, Audric sighed helplessly, pulled his black cloak with his hand, and walked away along the corridor.
The blind vampire walked slowly along the corner. Just as he passed through a hatch, Dipper, who was playing fishing cards with other crew members, poked his head out and asked, "Hey, man, how's the ship's doctor? Is he feeling better?"
Odrick pushed up his sunglasses, turned around and walked in. "I'm not optimistic. The death of the God of Light seems to have hit her hard. When I get back, I want to find a doctor to see her."
"Religious beliefs are all like this. You see, I only believe in money and never believe in any damn gods." The chief engineer, who was smoking a cigarette, laughed and threw away a pair of sea lions in his hands.
Audric turned his head in his direction and said with some dissatisfaction: "Are you happy?"
When they were in the abyss trench, half of the engineer's face had no skin due to touching the overloaded turbine. Although the wound had healed, the flesh and blood were still stuck together, which looked very scary.
But for Paul, this was not a big deal at all, and a happy smile appeared on his terrifying face.
"Of course I'm happy. The captain has said that he will double the reward. Echo coins, the house in the heart of the island, and the women are all here. From now on, I will be a person from the heart of the island like you, haha~!"
Second mate Krona, who was watching the game, saw that Odrick's face was getting uglier and uglier, so he kicked the chief engineer's boots lightly to stop him from laughing.
"Second wheel manager, it's okay. Linda has been through so much with us. Now good days are coming. She will let go of the knot in her heart. Just give her some time."
Odric sighed slightly, turned slowly and left the smoke-filled cabin, leaving them with a lonely back.
"Hey, do you think there is something going on between this vampire and Linda? This relationship is a bit too much." Chef Plank asked in a low voice in surprise.
"Nonsense, do you even need to tell me that? Anyone who is not blind can see that. I don't know when they hooked up."
"Hurry up... play your cards..." Bandage's impatient words did not stop their gossip.
"Women are trouble. I have money now. When I go back, I will buy a house next to a brothel street. Every day when I go out, I will turn left and bring home a different one.
"You are so useless and you are not afraid of getting sick. When your vagina is rotten and pus is oozing out, you will regret it."
"Fuck you, third-engineer, how dare you talk to me like that? Just wait, once you get on board, I will make you work night shift in the turbine room for a month." Chief Engineer Paul slammed the table so hard that it made a loud noise.
"You're still in charge of the three-wheeled ship. My name is Eddie. Didn't you hear what the captain said? The Narwhal has been decommissioned. I'm no longer under your control."
The room suddenly became lively with laughter and scolding all around, and everyone was in a very happy mood.
They no longer have to risk their lives by rushing into the Earthsea. As the Governor and the crew members who share life and death together, the Governor will definitely not treat them unfairly.
Just look at the last batch of crew members and you will know that the Governor is never stingy with his own people. This is why even though so many people died on his ship, there were still people who continued to rush forward.
But there was one person, Sailor Norden, who was not so happy.
"Boy, you're lucky. Such a good thing happened to you right after you got on the ship. These rewards are like free gifts. I dare say all the good luck in your life has been used up on this." Dipper said as he secretly changed the cards.
"This is not what I want. I originally wanted to go on adventures with the Governor, explore various unexplored islands together, and kill cruel and strange sea monsters together. If I don't even explore the islands, am I still an explorer?"
Norden's words drew everyone's attention to him.
"Are you still not cured of your madness? You finally don't have to go and die, but you are still not satisfied?" Second Mate Krona said in surprise.
"The Governor was not like this before. He never gave up. Even after becoming the Governor, he continued to explore without stopping. He was the only one in the entire Earthsea who could do this. But I feel that he has changed. He seems to have lost that spirit."
Dipper glanced at him and said, "It's not your turn to interrupt what the captain wants to do. Just do whatever he says."
"Exploration... adventure... is just a means... not an end..." Bandage said to him.
Norden, feeling that his dream was shattered, also walked out of the cabin in dejection.
The card game continued, and the crew members continued chatting with each other accompanied by cigarettes and alcohol.
"By the way, why didn't I see Little Lily? I heard that she was really resurrected, and I haven't seen her once. I really missed this little mouse after such a long time."
"The captain took him away. I guess something happened. For so many years, they kept throwing people into the sea. This is the first time they pulled people out. This is really amazing. If the God of Light were alive, I would want to believe in Him."
At this time in the first-class cabin of the battleship, Charles and Anna stood around Lily on the table, looking at her carefully.
Charles reached out his hand and touched Lily's soft golden hair, then murmured to himself, "Is the power of the God of Light really in Lily? Why would He do this?"
Smiling Lily leaned intimately on Charles' palm and rubbed it gently with her soft cheek.
"I did see a beam of white light coming out of her body earlier, but why is this little mouse not reacting at all now?"
"If we can find a way to channel this power out and control it, maybe we'll have an additional fighting force."
Anna grabbed Lily's tail and was about to lift her up, but Lily turned her head and bit her hand hard with her little white teeth.
"I was wondering why the God of Light only resurrected Lily. Now it seems that He may have some other tricks up His sleeve."
