Chapter 25: The Mouse Comes Home
"Hmm..." Charles frowned slightly at the relics in his hand.
It is hard to say whether this kind of relic is good or bad if it is used to exchange intelligence for body shape. If you don’t even have basic cognition, then no matter how powerful it is, it will be useless.
And when your body grows bigger, you won’t be able to use your three relics. If you balance each other, your strength may decrease.
Charle quickly thought of the greatest use of this relic, "Although I can't use it, I can give it to my crew."
The next adventure will only become more and more dangerous, and it will not work by relying solely on the strength of one person.
The strength of the crew members on the Narwhale must also be improved in all aspects so as not to drag them down.
The strong tendon flesh flashed through someone's mind, and Charles instantly found the new owner for the relic.
Regardless of his stinging body, Charles lifted the quilt and walked out with the relics.
Thirty minutes later, Charles stood on the deck and shouted to the four-meter-high engineer: "James, put the relics on his hand on the ground! On the ground!"
The other crew members who were fine were watching the excitement around the outside and were full of enthusiasm.
James, who had grown bigger, sat on the deck, and the entire Narwhale began to shake. After three seconds, he let go of his hand and let the 434 fall on the deck.
"The reduction in intelligence is greater than I thought." Charles said to himself as he looked at the purple pyramid in his hand.
After testing, the growth of the body makes the body's strength extremely powerful, but the weakening of intelligence is very fatal. One person must be instructed at all times, otherwise the demented James would only stand in place and play with his fingers.
"Captain, can this thing be played with me?" Dipp, who looked curious, came over with a group of sailors.
Charles thought about throwing the 434 over, "You guys try it and see who is better for this thing."
For a moment, the crew members on the deck were so lively. Seeing them laughing and treating 434 as a toy, Charles did not stop them.
People are not machines, so there are not many opportunities to relax so much on the ground and sea.
After Charles gave a few instructions, he walked towards his bedroom, and the wound on his body began to hurt again.
Time passed quickly at sea, and the corrosive wounds on Charles' body were healing quickly. Some minor accidents were solved perfectly by the crew members on the road. He had always done his own work and finally enjoyed the privileges of the captain.
When they saw the lighthouse on Coral Island, the entire Narwhal was about to be overturned by the cheers of the crew, and they came back alive again.
As soon as the boat landed, everyone rushed out like a flight to vent their depression after receiving the reward from Charles.
Charles took the remaining two relics and planned to walk towards the Explorer Association. He didn't know the use or the disadvantages of these two things. He wanted to see if the other captains had clues.
As soon as he was about to get off the boat, Charles saw Lily, surrounded by brown rats, standing on the dock.
Charles walked over and found that her ears were drooping and she did not leave.
"Why didn't you leave?"
Charles' inquiry scared Lily, and she turned around in panic. "Mr. Charles."
"What are you doing when standing here? Why not go home? Haven't you always wanted to go home?" Charles lifted up as he grabbed its tail.
"But I have become a mouse. Will my mother know me? Will she drive me out with a broom?" Lily asked pitifully.
Charles knew it in his heart, and it was indeed a child. It was normal for such a huge change in his body to be afraid.
"Don't worry, no parents don't worry about their daughters, even if you become a mouse, they won't dislike you." Charles comforted.
"Really?" Lily's ears stood up.
"Really, really." Charles looked at the mouse in front of him and inexplicably looked like his sister.
Lily shook her body excitedly. "Mr. Charles, you are right. My mother will not forget me. I have been away for so long. She will definitely miss me very much."
Charles put her down and was about to go out, but Lily held his finger and said, "Mr. Charles, can you send me back?"
Just as Charles was about to refuse, he saw a pitiful look on his face.
Charles sighed slightly. "Okay, I'll take you back."
The little girl has become a mouse for some reason, and she doesn't know if she can change back in the future. She is a poor person who can help her.
Soon, a strange scene appeared at Pier 3 on Coral Island, where a man with black pupils swayed across the market with a large group of mice.
After Charles paid 4 times the car money and guaranteed that the mice would not bite the cushion randomly, a steam car driver was finally willing to carry them.
Lily's home is nearly an hour's drive from the port. The closer it is, the more excited Lily is.
She should be very happy now, right? Will I have this day in the future? Seeing the white mouse spinning on her thigh, Charles's eyes were filled with envy.
"Sir, you've arrived. Turning left in front is Dr. Oliver's house. There is a cute little girl in his house. You'd better not take these mice over, as they will scare them."
Lily, who could not wait for the car to stop, jumped out of the car and rushed towards the corner ahead with the mice at full speed.
When Lily rushed to the corner, her petite body froze instantly as if she was electrocuted.
"Hmm?" Charles, who noticed something was wrong, walked over.
On the upper left of the corner is a small two-story villa with elegant style. In the yard in front of the villa, a gentle mother is taking her daughter to drink tea and chat.
Although her daughter looks only eleven or twelve years old, she looks a bit like Hermione in Harry Potter's first season, the agility between her eyebrows can be expected to be a more charming beauty than her mother in the future.
"Lily, do you have a sister or sister in your family?" Charles asked hesitantly. The mother in the distance did not seem to feel as if she was a tragic girl.
Charles' words awakened Lily, who was frozen, and she screamed loudly in a collapse.
"Ahhhhh!! That Lily is fake, I am the mother's daughter! She must be the witch in the story! She turned me into a mouse, and then took away my mother's love, and I want to bite her to death!!"
After Lily finished speaking, she rushed towards the distance with the mice that had already begun to sway.
Charles raised his left hand with the ring and grabbed Lily in the air. "Calm down!"
Seeing the white rat trapped, the mice quickly turned around and showed their sharp teeth at Charles' eyes and began to show their fierce light.
Just as Charles touched the clown mask with his other hand, Lily stopped the mouse's attack and hung in the air and cried loudly.
