Chapter 179 The crew
The first mate bandage, the second mate Knona, the sailor leader Deep, the commander James, the gunner Lily, the chef Frey, the sailor Audrek, the sailor Linda, the ship doctor Rusto, and finally the captain Charles.
The crew of the Narwhal came together again in the council hall of the Governor's Office on the Island of Hope.
Charles, smiling, looked at the crew member who changed a lot in front of him.
Dipp has become taller, and has gone from a young boy to a strong young man. He is even a little handsome against a black uniform.
The honesty disappeared from James's face, and the two shallow decrees added a hint of majesty to him.
The doctor was getting older, and there were scattered spots on his face full of scars.
Knona gained weight for a few laps, and a new chin had already piled up on her chin.
If there is little change, it is the bandage, Lily and the vampire Audrek.
"Mr. Charles, where have you been in the past three years? I miss you so much." Lily jumped in front of Charles and asked with her head raised.
Charles did not answer directly, but instead asked with his hands on the bright yellow hair on his body, "How did he dye it like this?"
"It looks so good. I can dye it into other colors. White is not good." Lily rubbed her hairy head against Charles' palm.
Charles turned his head and looked at the bandage without emotional fluctuations. He knew that there was no storm in Hope Island, and it was entirely up to this silent companion.
Such a living island is completely a piece of fat in the sea. If no one was shocked, the island would have been a strange master long ago.
"Thank you for the past three years."
"Nothing...the rules at sea..., the captain...is not here...the chief mate takes over...all positions of the captain..." Bandage said slowly.
Charles said nothing more and reached out his hand, and stretched out his right hand with a heavy slap on it, everything was silent.
Just as James was about to speak, Leonardo, who was standing beside him, said with a hint of charm on his face.
"Captain, you finally came back. I probably don't know you on the island. I suggest holding a banquet first and announcing your return to the outside world. What do you think??"
Charles looked at the Hope Island Finance Minister in front of him with some surprise.
The little liar at the beginning did not expect to be so competent in the position of Minister of Finance. "All right, do as you said."
Leonardo took a tactfully and took a step back without participating in the reminiscence of others. He knew that compared to these crew members who lived and died with the captain, no matter how hard he worked, he was always an outsider.
If you want to gain the trust of the governor, you have to take your time step by step.
Just as the other crew members were talking to Charles, a rapid pounding sound interrupted the harmonious atmosphere in the conference room. It was when steel prostheses hit the wooden tabletop.
"Hey, hey, you can do anything in the future. Let's solve my problem first."
The person who spoke was the ship doctor Rusto, whose temper was still as smelly as ever, and his face was not filled with joy for Charles' return.
The old man took something out of his arms and slid down the smooth tabletop towards Charles.
When Charles picked up the thing, his face was moved. It was his cell phone, and it was a cell phone with full power.
His fingers swiped across the screen, and the anime screensaver opened. Looking at the six decoded spaces appearing on it, Charles was stunned for a moment. It has been 12 years, and he suddenly forgot what the unlock password was.
"Don't think about it, it's 588134, remember it in your diary," the doctor said with a hint of disgust.
Skipping him, Charles entered his password, and a familiar and unfamiliar interface appeared in front of him.
After hesitating for a while, Charles clicked on the video icon. The content inside was pitifully small. Apart from a small piece of cat and mouse animation given by the mobile phone, there were only two short videos of more than ten seconds.
He opened the first paragraph. It was recorded casually in the mobile phone store when he bought a new phone. The store was very noisy. The camera flashed by, and Charles saw his youthful self in the launching mirror.
A smile appeared on Charles' face. "I didn't expect you to actually rush in and get the phone in. How did you do it?"
"Professor Smith from Britain helped me a lot. Electricity is a trivial matter. Your black mirror number is a big problem. I have been looking for it for more than two years to understand it."
"Thank you." Charles casually pointed the video of the cat and mouse and handed it to Lily, and looked up at the doctor.
"You shouldn't be just about this phone when you look for me? Is there anything important?"
The doctor limped over, snatched his phone from Lily, quickly clicked on the album, and showed the daily photos.
His trembling eyes pressed against Charles. "Where is this place? Is it a place of light?"
Charles smiled. "Didn't I tell you that I came to the Land of Light? Why do you still ask?"
"Since you said that the picture here is a place of light, what is on the top of our cave? I have been on it, and the environment above is completely different from the ones in your photos."
"I want to know this question too. If I really knew everything, I wouldn't have jumped into the sea three years ago." Charles said this very calmly.
The doctor was obviously not very satisfied with Charles' answer. "I don't ask you so much, I just ask you, do you still want to go out to sea to continue looking for a place of light?"
Looking at the doctor's expression, Charles seemed to think of something, "Do you think the Land of Light can unlock clues on your stuff?"
The one who can make the doctor care so much is probably his thick and black tablet.
The doctor swiped his finger quickly and clicked on a picture. It was a selfie taken by Gao Suling on the street and outside the community.
As his fingers quickly magnified, Charles saw behind his sister's big face, Mr. Liu, next door, sitting under the shade of the tree, playing chess with the tablet his daughter gave him.
"There is that thing in your place, right? Just go there and you can fix my thing."
"Can Smith from England charge my phone, but can't fix your thing?"
"No, he said something inside was broken."
Charles was not surprised by this answer. God knew when that thing was produced.
"Indeed, as long as you can return to the surface and repair an outdated tablet, there is still no problem at all, "Are you still obsessed with this?"
"I am a doctor, I know I can't live long. Now my only wish is to know what my father wants me to keep and answer my questions. Are you now the Governor Charles, or Captain Charles of the Narwhal?"
The atmosphere in the hall became slightly solemn, and the second deputy Knona next to him swallowed nervously.
"I'm the narwhal captain Charles. I told you that the place is my home and I'll go back one day."
As soon as Charles spoke, various expressions appeared on the crew members' faces.
An ugly smile appeared on the doctor's face, and he patted his cell phone on Charles's hand, "Very good, I'll sort things out. As long as I'm still alive for one day, I'll be the boat doctor on your boat."
