"So this is the information you found. Anything in the dark sky will become a relic. What causes the relic? Is it some phenomenon or something?" Julio, who was made of sand and stood in front of Charles, said in a low voice.
"I don't know. I haven't gone up very high yet."
After Charles finished speaking, he looked at a beautiful girl who appeared beside him. She was wearing a long robe, but her eyes did not have the slightest bit of the liveliness of a young person. She was filled with worry from beginning to end.
Her melancholy was real, and anyone who saw her melancholy would shudder. Her eyes were almost like those of an old man with a withered heart.
"Who is she?" Charles asked.
Before anyone else could speak, the girl introduced herself first. Her voice was very soft and pleasant.
"Hello, Governor Charles, I have heard of your name for a long time. My name is Jenny. With the help of Governor Julio, I have temporarily become the representative of the Western Sea Region."
"West Sea..."
Seeing the deep vigilance in Charles' eyes, Jenny smiled and said, "I am different from those old-school people. If it were according to what they said, someone like me who has no magical talent would not even be able to be their servant."
"But an ordinary person like me has to represent them."
"I don't care about your business. I just want to know whether you are willing to continue to pay for the materials and population allocated to the Western Sea for the exploration of the surface." Charles asked.
Without the support of the Western Sea, it would be very difficult to rely solely on the islands in the North and South Seas to support surface operations, especially in this increasingly difficult situation.
"Of course, we not only did what we should do, but we are willing to do more to save Earthsea."
As Jenny finished speaking, more and more sand gradually floated up in front of Charles, eventually forming a crowd of hundreds of people.
Charles saw the Governor Elizabeth of Icha Island, the Madam Lilith of Dark Crystal Island, the Governor Margaret of Hefang Island, and the King of the Hik Tribe of Broken Heart Island in the crowd.
"They are all governors of the major islands in Earthsea. Our people have already set up magic array personnel on each island. Magic can connect all the forces in Earthsea together, so that communication and exchanges can be more efficient."
It was the first time that the governors had seen such a situation and they looked around at each other, but they looked most at the four people in front of them.
Charles, Julio, Jenny, and the president of the Explorers Association. The four of them are the core of the entire Earthsea and are also the leaders of the plan to save the surface.
Seeing that Charles was still a little worried, Julio said, "Don't worry, I helped Jenny get here. I have already released the people on the West Coast. I will not let the previous incident happen again."
Hearing this, Charles's concerns were dispelled. He nodded and spoke again: "Why didn't I see the god of the Haik tribe?"
"I'm here, I just don't want to show up. Humans are always afraid of things that are different from ordinary people, such as my appearance." Piper's voice sounded in Charles' ears.
Charles frowned and looked in the direction of the voice, then said to Jenny, "Since you are sincere, let's continue. We need to go into the darkness, into the sky shrouded in darkness."
The crowd listened quietly to Charles' words, which concerned the fate of everyone in the entire Earthsea.
"Well, the god of the Haik tribe sent a message. I heard that it is very dangerous up there. We must be prepared for a sudden increase in casualties and consider the replenishment of personnel." Julio added with his arms folded across his chest.
"It didn't tell you what happened up there? Then I'll just say it directly. There are beings up there that are as powerful as gods."
They thought they had found the darkness and were halfway through their voyage to save Earthsea, but even greater difficulties stood in their way.
A slender arm stretched out from the crowd. It was Anna. She looked like a sandman. She slowly walked from the crowd to Charles' side, turned around and faced the more than a hundred faces in front of her.
"If we want to continue exploring, we need to let the explorers improve their strength in the shortest possible time. For this reason, as the Governor of Hope Island, I propose that all of us stop hiding our secrets and fully disclose our own technologies and methods."
Ana makes a suggestion that Charles once made, but Julio rejected.
This time, facing the gazes from the three parties, Julio nodded with a difficult expression. "Humph, I can hand over the method of how to become a rank 15 strongman, but it takes time. We don't have enough time now, far from enough."
Regardless of whether it is useful or not, it is best to share it first. At this critical moment, we must unite all our forces.
"Everyone, Hope Island will act first as a role model. After the meeting is over, we will make public all the technology for integrating relics into the body and the experience we have gained," Charles said.
Hearing this, everyone present was immediately interested. They had all seen how rapidly Hope Island had developed recently.
At this time, Jenny stepped forward and said, "The spells of each family in the West Sea and the materials needed will also be made public, but please do not try without permission. You can only do it under the guidance of someone. This kind of thing is very dangerous."
"All of Cat Island's technologies will also be made public, including my personal entity enhancement methods and how to increase the island's area."
Julio's words surprised everyone. No wonder Cat Island was the largest island in the entire Earth Sea. It turned out that it was filled in.
Charles leaned towards Anna and said, "Well done. Now the power of the entire Earthsea has been truly gathered together."
"Wait, not yet." Anna said softly, then suddenly stepped forward and said to the more than 100 young governors in front of her: "Everyone, this is not only our business, but also yours. In order to save the Earth Sea and yourselves, we can't hide anything. If we hide it any further, it will really be brought to the sea."
"Everyone who thinks that anything they have that can help in finding the Earth Sea should donate it, and don't forget that the sea water is still rising."
When Anna said this, she inadvertently glanced in the direction of Paibo's voice.
A loud voice came from the Governor's crowd. It was a giant of the Heike tribe who was more than three meters tall.
"My gods have sent down oracles. They will grant you the blessings of the gods and the means to become the chosen ones."
Anna's mouth corners slightly raised. Although what he said was a bit confusing, it was obvious that the other party was getting anxious, and they began to share all their techniques.
With this, the atmosphere suddenly became lively. In this case, the success rate of finding the darkness was much higher, and everyone's face showed joy.
"Ahem!" The sound of Charles clearing his throat suddenly quieted the noise.
"Since this matter has been decided, then let's do it this way. Now I need you to do me a favor, which is to help me find the foundation."
