Sodom, which was made up of various ships, moved slowly on the dark sea. On the top floor of the ship, which was stranded, Margaret was looking at various documents on the table.
As the largest island in the North Sea, it has huge potential. The local sea situation is gradually stabilizing and more and more people are gathering on the island.
The death ray killed nearly 80% to 90% of Earthsea's population, which means there are fewer people and more land.
When people have no worries about work and material wealth is abundant, a new round of baby boom begins. Now Hefang Island is full of the crying of babies and is full of vitality.
This may be a good thing or a bad thing. As the governor of Hefang, she not only needs to consider the present, but also the situation of these babies when they grow up. She needs to look at the problem from a macro perspective.
"The foundation technology in Hope Island's hands is absolutely the key to the future. We must strengthen the interest binding between us and it. Since its momentum is unstoppable, we should go with the flow."
At the beginning, all the foundation's technology was made public, but He Fang did not have the talent or the technology to absorb these things.
In the entire Earth Sea, apart from the Island of Hope, the only other place with such strength is probably the sunken Isle of England.
Just as she was looking at the ups and downs of the curves in her hands with a serious expression, Margaret suddenly heard a noise outside, and there was a hint of fear in those voices.
The door was pushed open, and Jenny, the former maid, walked in. She said with a hint of fear on her face, "Governor, an island suddenly appeared on the route!"
"Island?" Margaret didn't dare to make a conclusion easily. Anything could happen in the Earth Sea.
When she walked to the small garden on the deck, she was surprised to find that there was indeed a round island covered with forests right in the direction of Sodom. The huge island flickered under the light of Sodom.
Just as Margaret began to consider how much value a living island could create for Cavendish.
She suddenly saw a woman floating from the island towards Sodom.
"Dad wants to see you." Shanshan said to the woman in front of him with a frown.
She changed into a tight red dress today, and the tight fabric exaggerated her body curves.
"You are... Shanshan?" Margaret looked at the sexy woman who was as tall as herself in shock. If it weren't for the signature fluorescent green cross pupils, she really couldn't connect her with the cute child.
Facing other people's questions, Shanshan didn't intend to answer, and pointed his white finger into the distance. "Go quickly, aren't you looking for him?"
Margaret made a gesture to stop her invisible guard from approaching, and said with a hint of caution in her tone: "Wait a minute, I can't tell whether you are Shanshan or not. Answer me a question first, who are your father's crew members?"
"Go to the boat, he's there." As Shanshan directly and rudely put these words into Margaret's brain, she instantly accepted this setting.
Margaret's expression turned anxious. She grabbed the edge of the boat and pushed hard, then jumped directly towards the roof below.
Shanshan sat on the circular flower bed, silently looking at the black background that was gradually receding.
She now admires her father a little bit. When faced with humans whose behavior and memories can be modified by him at will, he can still maintain his previous way of thinking and treat them as equals.
Thinking of this, Shanshan suddenly recalled her friend Nini. They hadn't seen each other for some time.
Margaret stepped on the water with her toes and rushed over there quickly. As she got closer and closer to the island, her heartbeat began to speed up. All kinds of thoughts that had disappeared for a long time flooded into her mind.
Not long after walking along the path in the forest, Margaret saw an ordinary manor in front of her.
The door opened silently, and Margaret walked in without any guard.
As soon as she walked into the door, Charles, who was sitting on the sofa, keenly noticed the slight abnormality in the woman's thinking. With a slight wave of his hand, the shadow that Shanshan cast on Margaret disappeared instantly.
"Don't blame Shanshan. Don't look at her appearance. She is only 6 years old this year." Charles smiled faintly at Governor He Fang, who had most of his face covered by his hair.
"Margaret, I heard you were looking for me? Is there something wrong? I guess I'll be very busy in the future, so it's best to get things done now."
Margaret's suspicions gradually disappeared when she saw Charles calling out her name.
Looking at the man in front of her, Margaret opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but various thoughts were stuck in her mouth at the same time, and she didn't know which one to say for a moment.
After a long pause, Margaret slowly asked, "How have you been lately?"
"Haha, not bad."
The lines on the carpet that Margaret was standing on rubbed against the ground like the flagella of a single organism, quickly pulling her in front of Charles.
"Sit anywhere." The stool next to her began to grow legs and moved to Margaret's side. This scene made her a little creepy. But she didn't ask any questions and sat down on the stool.
Although Margaret said nothing, her calm actions also revealed some information. "Do you know something?"
Margaret nodded silently, grabbing the back of the stool with her fingernails and holding it tightly. Because of excessive force, her fingernails were even pressed white.
Of course she asked the current Governor of Hope Island, West, and he did not hide anything.
"I'm doing fine now. I don't need to sleep or eat. I have fewer desires and fewer worries. But for a person, having too few worries is not good." Charles chatted with the other person like a friend.
"Actually, I met you this time to say goodbye. I'm afraid this will be the last time we meet."
Suddenly, Margaret stood up abruptly, stepped directly on the table with her high boots, and pounced on Charles like a cheetah.
She knelt on top of him, put her arms around his neck, and kissed him hard.
