Julio slowly stood up from the white jade chair, put his hands behind his back, and walked towards the glass window in the distance. The young man hurriedly followed him.
Walking on the nearly 100-meter-wide white jade balcony, Julio continued to ask: "What do you think is the probability of our success?"
"Without sufficient comparison, we cannot easily judge. The only thing we can do is to try our best." The young man did not jump to conclusions.
Seeing that Julio didn't say anything, the young man felt a little happy in his heart, he was right.
Coming to the edge of the balcony, Julio looked down at his territory from above. This was his kingdom, and he was the king here.
The wind blew Julio's white hair constantly, but there was no fishy smell of the sea that was found on other islands. Cat Island was the largest island in the entire Earth Sea, bar none.
Most of the buildings on the island are made of earth and look like cave dwellings. As the soil on the island is very special, you only need to determine the shape and then burn it to build a house, which is very convenient.
The increasingly numerous machines on Hope Island are almost non-existent here. Instead, there are various beetles of different sizes, some as big as small houses and some as small as only a fist.
These are the natives of Cat Island. Although some people have parasites drilling under their skin from time to time, compared with the help provided by those insects, this side effect is completely insignificant.
Some of these insects can be used as camels to transport things, some can be raised as food, and even some insects are highly poisonous and can be turned into weapons.
The arrival of humans did not destroy the ecology here, but instead completely integrated into it.
"Grandfather, don't worry. Our island is the largest, and the sandworms are still working in the sea. If it really sinks, we will definitely be the last one."
"Is this all you can do?" Julio glanced at him, making the latter nervous.
"You know what? Sometimes I admire Charles. He doesn't seem to be afraid at all. He knows there's something so scary up there, but he still rushes forward without saying a word."
"Grandfather is equally fearless, and his strength is much stronger than Charles. He is totally insignificant in front of you." The young man quickly discerned.
Julio shook his head. "I won't deny anything in front of my grandson. I am just very afraid of death. This is my character, so I can live until now."
"In order to prevent others from killing me, I can only kill others first. But this time my method doesn't work. The ocean can't kill me. The only thing I can do is to go crazy with Charles."
"As long as Grandfather joins us, our plan will definitely succeed!"
Julio sighed for no reason. "Do you know why I still chose you to be the next heir of Cat Island even though you are so clumsy at flattering others?"
This time the young man thought for a long time, and finally he looked at Julio who had no expression on his face and decided to tell the truth.
"Because... because my father and his people have been corrupted too much by power and desire, and have completely trapped themselves on Cat Island. But I am different. I am still young and can change.
Cat Island is very big, big enough to easily accommodate everyone's ambitions. Some people think that as long as the problems on the island are solved, they don't need to pay any attention to the outside world.
Cat Island is the most powerful force in the South China Sea and will continue to be powerful in the future.
Unlike his confident and arrogant family members, Julio doesn't think so.
Although he is known as the strongest governor of the Earth Sea, and Cat Island's invincible battleship can sweep the entire ocean, only he knows how fragile such a thing is.
Over the years, not only Swan from the British Isles has threatened Cat Island's status. If it wants to maintain its current position, it must continue to become stronger.
Julio felt terrified at the thought that his island would fall into the hands of those good-for-nothings.
What made Julio feel even more sad was that even if he tried so hard to save Earthsea in the end, he would end up handing his island over to them to be destroyed.
"Knorr, you should leave tomorrow and take some people to the East Sea to join the Futan Cult. I have prepared everything."
Hearing his grandfather's words, Knorr almost thought he had heard it wrongly. He asked with a trembling voice: "Grandfather...Grandfather, why, what did I do wrong?"
Julio did not explain anything and continued, "After you get there, forget everything about Cat Island. You will be just an ordinary islander. They are now trying to persuade others to believe in Futan, and you can just join them. With your brain, you will be brainwashed by them very quickly."
"If we succeed, then the moment Charles's fleet and I arrive in the East China Sea, I will find a way to rescue you."
"If we fail, you and the rest of us will have to live on in the dark sea."
"Grandfather, stop joking. This is not funny at all." Knorr looked very scared. He just said that he was the heir of Cat Island, but the next second he sent himself to the hands of the cult.
"You are so powerful, more powerful than anyone else! Nothing can be difficult for you, right? You are the most powerful 15th level warrior Julio!!"
Julio ignored the other party's pleading and waved his hand lightly. The insect-armored guards appeared from nowhere and easily carried Knorr away.
"Strong? What's the use of being strong? Something that can never be copied can't protect Cat Island forever." Julio looked down at his hands and said in a low voice.
At this moment, he heard footsteps behind him, and the footsteps were very familiar. "Old friend. You are here."
"The things from the Relic Research Institute on Hope Island have been sent over via telegram. I think it's better to deliver this kind of thing in person."
Jax, president of the Explorers Association, walked up to Julio and looked at the scenery outside with him.
"How long do you think we can last?" Julio said in a calm voice.
"Based on publicly available data, all islands can survive for more than a year, but the actual situation is much worse,"
"Haha, I guessed it even if you didn't say it. With your personality, you're always like this, saying half and leaving the other half."
“This is to reassure the various governors and also to keep the situation stable.”
"Are you from the foundation that Charles mentioned?" Julio asked suddenly.
"no."
