Under the gaze of Shanshan and Margaret, the huge air bag slowly floated towards the huge hole in the sky.
"What kind of person do you think your father is?" Margaret asked Shanshan beside her.
"I'm an unqualified father. He never has time to accompany me..." Shanshan felt a little depressed as he watched the airship going away.
"He is a noble man and I admire him very much," said Margaret.
At this moment, Anna came over and said with a sneer on her face: "You are raising him so high. Of course you say that if it is good for you, he is taking our position to save you."
"Why are we always the ones who are sacrificed? If it were me, I would just turn Charles into a monster. There is so much empty space in the sea, it is more than enough for our family of three to live in."
Margaret looked at her in shock, "You three?"
Shanshan thought for a moment and explained thoughtfully, "What if we add Nini or you? Don't worry, there are a lot of things in the sea. I have made a lot of friends. We won't feel lonely at all."
Anna reached out and took the letter out of Shanshan's hand. "Okay, stop talking nonsense, let's go back."

When Charles returned to the surface, he started a new exploration after the Foundation confirmed the location.
The good news came two months later, when the Foundation first announced that they had found the dark border on the other side. Now they could obtain the dark direction as long as they found the other side.
They used all their strength to search for darkness together with the people of Earthsea.
Charles thought he would find it soon, but as month after month passed, and when a whole year passed, the darkness seemed to extend without boundaries.
It has been three years since the Earthsea began to rise. If darkness has not returned after this year, all humans in the Earthsea will die.
The scarred Narwhal was sailing slowly in the dark space.
Such a long period of exploration left the crew members scarred, not only physically but also mentally.
"Hey!! Is this for human consumption?! What do you mean by this?!"
Dipper slammed the plate in front of him to the ground, stretched out his hand and grabbed Chef Plank's neck. His eyes were bloodshot and he looked at his companion with anger.
But now Gangplank is obviously not the timid fat man. He stuck his neck out and shouted at him: "The supplies in Earthsea are so bad! What do you want me to do? Do you really think it's two years ago? We are lucky to have something to eat now."
"Look carefully for me! What's in here? It's a fish gill! Fish gill! Will you eat it if I put it in your mouth?"
"Is this all going to end?!" Charles walked in with a serious expression. His face had many scars and was thinner due to long-term hard exploration. He had no time to shave, and his right eye, which should have been a spider eye, was now just a dark hole. The island with the eyeball spider had been completely submerged.
After hearing Charles' words, the two separated quickly, but the indignation in their eyes did not dissipate.
When Charles sat down, a plate of stew was brought to him. When he picked up the fork and put it into his mouth, his brows immediately frowned. It must be said that the taste was really not very good.
Planck on the side whispered: "Captain, I'm so sorry, there is really nothing left. You know that the things brought up from below are getting less and less."
Charles interrupted him by raising his fork, swallowed the food in his mouth, and waved his fork to let him go.
Charles knew that it was not the chef's fault. Since half a year ago, the supplies sent from the sea had gradually become scarce, and were often inferior in quality.
But can this be blamed on the people under the Earth Sea? Charles knew that he couldn't blame them either. The supplies on the surface were like this, and the situation in the Earth Sea would only be more difficult.
The Governor's face was numb. They had lost all hope. The reason they did not collapse was probably just because of inertia.
The crew members' tempers became more and more violent, and quarrels and swearing happened every day. Charles could suppress them, but he could only suppress them. If he suppressed them too much, they would explode one day.
"Is there any other way to save Earthsea?" Charles thought of various solutions while eating.
Gradually, Charles suddenly realized that the surroundings were a little frighteningly quiet. He looked up and found that the crew members were all frozen in place, looking towards the windows beside them.
"What has affected them?!" Charles, realizing this, immediately entered combat mode, his muscles tensed up instantly.
But when he looked at the window next to him, his body froze instantly like everyone else's.
There was something wrong with the darkness in the distance; it was a little lighter in color.
"Knock, knock~" As Dipper's hand holding the fork continued to shake, the metal fork kept hitting his sharp fangs in his mouth.
Dipper had already guessed what was over there, but now he couldn't believe it was real.
"Woooooooooooo~~" The Narwhal made a shrill whistle, which instantly woke everyone up. They put down their food and rushed to the deck outside like crazy.
Sensing the excitement of the crew, the Narwhal began to accelerate itself.
Under everyone's gaze, the narwhal broke through a black wall and came to the sky shrouded in purple light.
"We found the border!! Earthsea is saved!!"
"Wow, wow, wow~ I really can't hold on any longer..."
"Father! Did you see it in the Kingdom of Twinkle? I found it!!"
Everyone on the Narwhal became extremely crazy, even Charles was no exception. Everyone vented out everything that was suppressed in their hearts.
Charles felt that the heavy burden on his shoulders was finally lifted at this moment.
Restraining his excitement, Charles took out the metal round cake from his arms.
As he pressed lightly, Feuerbach's blurry projection appeared in front of him.
"Hey! Can you hear me? We found the dark border! Follow this tracker quickly!!"
An expression of ecstasy appeared on Feuerbach's face. He opened his mouth to say something, but because of the unstable signal, Charles couldn't hear it clearly. This place was too far away from other places.
Finally, Feuerbach raised his hand slightly, and a completely complete dark deep space map appeared in front of Charles.
There was a black light shining in the exact center of the map.
"Let's go! Go to the center and find the darkness!! The Foundation must have gone there too!!"
