"Yes, the Earthsea is really too dangerous. We are no different from ants in front of them. We are temporarily safe only because they happen not to move. If they want to do something, we will not be able to resist at all."
Anna lowered her head and bit his lips gently. "Yes! This damn place is not a place for humans to stay! So you agree with my point of view?"
Charles didn't say anything. In his mind, he imagined two gods covered with tentacles breaking through the surface of the sea, looking like the end of the world.
His eyes slowly closed, and he hugged Anna's slender waist and turned over, "Go to sleep, I'll think it over carefully."
There was a hint of annoyance in Anna's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
A tentacle emerged from Anna's hair, flicked against the wall, and turned off the bedroom light.
Just as the tentacle was about to retract, Charles pinched it with his fingers. "Tell the navy you sent out to withdraw and slow down the exploration of the Sea of Mist. The Foundation's legacy is not so easy to take. If 004 is still there, it may even lead to the extinction of the entire Earthsea human race."
Anna didn't answer, but turned around and faced Charles with her smooth white back.
When Charles opened his eyes again, his arms were empty.
Anna went to deal with some matters on Hope Island early in the morning. There have been a lot of things happening on the island recently. Even though Charles did not go out, he could hear that there were more people talking on the street outside.
Charles lifted the quilt and began to get dressed. As soon as he opened the door, he saw four maids standing outside waiting with a fine breakfast.
Judging from the steam on the food, it was obvious that they had already calculated Charles's waking time accurately so that he could eat the freshly made breakfast.
"What is this? What is it made of?" Charles reached out and grabbed a round piece of cake that looked like granite and stuffed it into his mouth.
The texture is unexpectedly soft and tender, and the taste is very good.
"Governor, this is black cod meat. Chef Cher designed this new breakfast for you."
Charles chewed it for a while and swallowed it directly. He looked at the maid in front of him who looked only seventeen or eighteen years old and asked: "If you have a wish now, what do you plan to do with it?"
The maid was slightly stunned. She didn't expect the Governor would ask her such a question. She quickly thought about the purpose of the question.
When she looked up and saw Charles staring at her, she seemed to understand something and immediately said with a hint of excitement on her face: "My wish is to become the Governor's woman!"
Charles reached out and patted her on the shoulder, then walked past her and headed towards the door of the Governor's Mansion. "For the sake of your life, you'd better forget this wish."
Not long after Charles walked out of the Governor's Mansion, he saw Dipper turned into a ball of blue mist floating over the roof. He seemed to be inspecting the entire island.
His abilities are very useful in reconnaissance, and he hopes that the people in the three parts of the island are also learning from him and absorbing various things into their bodies.
As the spear in the mechanical arm hooked out, Charles easily stopped Dipper.
"Dipper, if I gave you a wish, what would it be?" he asked the fishman in front of him.
Dipper's heart started pounding at this question, and he couldn't help but get nervous. After thinking for a while, he was finally able to speak out what was on his mind.
Charles originally thought that the other party's wish was to turn back into a human being, but he gave an unexpected answer.
"Captain, I heard that some governors would invite painters to draw a family tree for themselves. Can you draw me in it?"
Family trees generally record the people in a family. The meaning of requesting to join someone else's family tree is self-evident.
"Really?! Can it be now?" Dipper seemed very excited, this seemed to mean a lot to him.
Charles returned to the Governor's Palace and found the painting board that had been covered in dust for a long time. Soon, the portraits of Charles and Anna appeared at the bottom of the canvas, followed by a tree trunk growing out from above them.
As more and more paintbrushes were added, the tree trunk on the canvas slowly split, with Twinkle painted on one end and Deep and his red-haired wife Aaliyah painted on the other.
Under Dipper's name, Charles added the last name Reed, which he rarely used. Now Dipper's full name is: Dipper Reed.
When Dipper took the family tree drawing, tears couldn't stop flowing from his eyes. It really meant a lot to him.
Suddenly Dipper rushed over, hugged Charles tightly and started crying. Now he was crying like a child.
Stroking the fin on the other's head, Charles asked, "Is your wish that simple?"
Dipper nodded repeatedly, "Yeah! When you picked me up on the street, I always had this idea in my mind, but I was always afraid that you would refuse."
As the two were talking, the painting in Dipper's hand suddenly moved, and after a flashing head flashed slightly, she emerged from it.
"Sparkle, Dipper is your brother from now on." Charles looked at her and said.
After carefully looking Dipper up and down for a while, Twinkle seemed very speechless, "Okay, whatever you say is what you want, as long as you are happy."
After saying this, Twinkle was about to leave, but Charles grabbed her wrist and said, "Wait, daughter, if you have one wish, what would you like to do?"
The girl waved her hand gently, and the two of them instantly arrived at the building of the World's Crown. They walked to the low basin next to them and stretched out their tentacles to poke inside.
"Are you choosing the wish 005 gave you? If it were me, my choice would be the same as mother's. Absolute power is what is most needed."
Charles walked up to her and looked at the little people inside the low wall. "No, don't think it's so complicated. This is just a simple inquiry. If you were given a wish, what would you like to do?"
There was a hint of thoughtfulness in the sparkling green cross pupils, "I want to go back to my mother's belly."
"Uh-huh?!"
"I think if I grow slower after coming out of her belly this time, it would be best if I grow at the same speed as a normal person. I understand more and more now, but I am becoming less and less happy. I want to enjoy a normal childhood."
Charles didn't expect that Shanshan would actually make such a wish. Maybe for her, growing up too fast is not a good thing.
"Forget it, I just said it casually. You're already grown up, and there's no point in talking about this anymore. You should definitely not waste your wish on such a small matter."
"Dad, don't ask others what their wishes are. People always have to face reality. From the current situation, it is most suitable to obtain the power of God."
"As a god, not only do you have the power to gain a foothold in Earthsea, but you also have eternal life."
Charles patted Shanshan's head and said, "If it is really divine power, there will be more than just these following the power."
