Shrouded Seascape

Chapter 89: Anna

Views:

Charles climbed out of bed and ordered his first mate to remove all the bandages on his body.

Faced with the dense tattoos, Charles came over to carefully identify them.

"Help, I'm trapped in this body and can't get out. The one who replaced me is a demon! Don't believe what he says!!"

As soon as he read the first line, Charles felt a shock all over his body, and many thoughts suddenly popped into his mind.

But he looked at the silent bandage next to him, said nothing and continued looking down.

"Don't believe Ginny! She's not your daughter!"

"Don't look for anything, the life you have now is something you never even dreamed of having."

"Your name is Freud. You have everything, women, wealth, honor. You are very happy now. Don't think about anything else!"

"Never go to the sea. There are no answers there."

"Remember, your life goal is to kill Sica! It was Sica that killed my wife Ginny!"

"Go find the black crystal. I heard it's extremely poisonous. Eat it and see if it has any use."

"I am tired of it. I want to sacrifice everything I have to the all-powerful and all-knowing god Ftan."

"Find the light in the sea! It is it that cursed us!!"

All kinds of inconsistent nonsense were written all over the bandages, and there was no connection between one paragraph and the next.

There is very little useful information in it. Apart from the fact that he was once called Freud, there are only various nouns with unknown meanings.

"I've looked at it... but it's no use... I don't remember... when I got the tattoo..."

Charles sighed. Yes, if the things recorded in these tattoos were useful, the bandages wouldn't be in this state.

"Huh? What is it?" Charles' fingers were about to press on the bulging skin on the bandaged body.

"Don't... don't move!" The bandage stopped quickly, seeming to be very concerned about the raised skin. "I... don't... know, but... I... feel... it's... important... to me..."

Hearing this, Charles withdrew his hand.

"Okay, go out now. If you remember anything, remember to tell me."

No matter who Bandage was before, his current identity is just the first mate of the Narwhal.

Charles took out his diary and drew a cross on the coordinates of the island he had just visited.

Regardless of whether the island is part of the underwater thing, there are no useful resources on it, and the island that the "king" uses to compensate for the materials is definitely not this one.

Charles' pen swept across the remaining islands one by one. Apart from the three explored by Kede, there were only a few islands left that could be reached by the current steamship voyage.

As long as we find the supply point, the remaining islands in the distance can be explored.

"Father!! Why did you intercept my telegram!! No wonder Mr. Charles never answered me. It turns out he didn't receive it at all!!"

Margaret, wearing an exquisite white dress, angrily argued with Daniel behind the long table.

The fearless Governor He Fangdao felt a headache at this moment. He tried to persuade him earnestly, "Do we have to ask this question at your birthday party? Everyone is waiting for you. Why don't you go out and play with other friends now, and we can discuss this issue tomorrow?"

"No! This matter is much more important than a birthday party! You must have read the telegrams I sent, right?"

"Daughter, I'm doing this for your own good. I can't let you be in danger again."

"How could you do this! Mr. Charles is my friend! He is not a danger!"

His roar was so loud that even the guards outside could hear it clearly.

"That's enough!! I've already told you not to associate with him anymore! You are from different worlds! If you keep making trouble, don't blame me for sending someone to kill that greedy lunatic!!"

Margaret stared at her father blankly for three seconds, tears streaming down her fair face, and she rushed out biting her lip. "Father! I hate you!!"

Daniel looked at his daughter's receding back. He looked around and trembled with anger. He grabbed a bronze statue on the cabinet next to him and kneaded it hard. He quickly kneaded the bronze statue into a ball, but the anger in Governor He Fangdao's heart did not diminish in the slightest.

Margaret came to the deserted garden alone, sat on the bench and wiped her tears silently.

A lady next to her slowly came over. It was Margaret's mother, Kalita.

Kalita, who knew her husband and daughter's tempers very well, had known that this would be the outcome.

Dressed in a gorgeous evening gown, she walked over and sat down next to her daughter.

"Your father is just such a person. Wait until he calms down and then talk to him properly. We are all family. Why do you have to make things so unpleasant?"

"I hate him." Margaret was unhappy and kept pulling the petals in her hands.

"Dear, today is your birthday, go back and cut the cake, everyone is waiting for you."

"Mother, I don't want to go. Please let me be alone for a while." The girl turned her head away stubbornly.

"Is that Charles' really that important to you?"

Margaret blushed and lowered her head and said, "No... I just wanted to thank him again. If it weren't for his help before, I wouldn't be able to come back."

Looking at her daughter's appearance, Kalita shook her head helplessly. She was also a girl herself, so how could she not know her daughter's little thoughts

"My daughter, I don't know what you think, but you also know that he is the captain of an exploration ship. You two are not suitable."

"So what? Our ancestors were also captains of exploration ships. If they hadn't explored the unknown waters, there wouldn't be Hefang Island today."

"Alas, what you told me is not the same thing. You know how dangerous that kind of thing is. Do you want to be a widow at such a young age? Just like Anna?"

Just as Margaret was about to retort, a gentle cough was suddenly heard behind the two of them.

The mother and daughter looked back and found a beautiful woman wearing a black veil and a black hat appeared behind them.

The high-slit, low-cut black silk dress clings to her body curves, and this peerless beauty is full of feminine charm.

Kalita suddenly felt her face getting hot. It was really embarrassing to talk bad about others behind their backs and have them standing behind and listening.

She quickly stood up and said, "Miss Anna, I didn't mean that. I just wanted to comfort my daughter."

"Mrs. Kalita, I understand. I'm not angry. Why don't you let me persuade Miss Margaret? We are of similar age and have more common topics."

Looking at her angry daughter beside her, Kalita nodded slightly and turned away.

Maybe let him know how painful it is for a woman who has just lost her husband.

The woman's departure made the garden deserted again, and Anna sat down gently next to Margaret.
