Charles stood on the deck of the Narwhal and looked at the increasingly prosperous giant pit fortress in the distance.

Compared to the previous one, it is just a fortress, now it is considered to be the size of a small city.

The continuous floating airships, like an elevator that is constantly running day and night, brought the collected materials one after another, and all the materials are provided by the islands in the sea.

Between the cars entering and leaving the door, while scattered amphibious ships shuttled through, as the factories added up, the explorers' equipment was constantly upgrading.

Among them are some tall bodies. They are Heck people who do not take cars and drive carriages that suit their physiques.

In order to survive, the people of Earth Sea are using all their power.

"Captain, I need to go back to Hope Island and install two prosthetics." Dipp, who was leaning on crutches under his armpit, moved to Charles and said.

"No, the Explorer Association will handle all this well. They should consider the issue of the Explorer's broken limbs and have called those companies long ago."

Hearing this, Dipp felt relieved, "That's great. I'm really afraid of going back so miserably. My wife is worried about me."

Charles' eyes moved down and saw Dipp's empty trouser legs from the calf joint, and his legs were left at site4 forever.

"Thank you for your hard work." Charles patted his shoulder with his hand.

"It's okay, I just lost two legs. If you didn't save me at that time, I'm afraid I'd really die. Compared to those who died, Wu I was already very lucky. By the way, Captain, how are you injured?"

Charles stretched out his finger and pressed his face wrapped in bandages. The hard touch indicated that it had already scabbed, but his skin did not look like it had returned. He could already imagine his horrible appearance after the bandage was removed.

"I don't know very well, but my reply ability is very good. It should be nothing. If I can't reply, it's okay. It's just a bit ugly. I'm not a woman, so it doesn't matter."

Dipp smiled, but gradually the smile on his face dimmed. "Captain, you said... can we really save the Earth Sea? If the guy who killed the God of Light took away the darkness, would we really be able to snatch it back from it?"

His confidence seemed to be shaken a little.

"Yes!" Charles answered firmly. "We have no choice anymore. Either go back and wait for death, or try our best to fight. We can only choose the second one!"

Hearing Charles' words, Dipp nodded vigorously. Confidence appeared on his face again. "Hmm!"

The noise in the distance slowly changed, and they were approaching the door of the Giant Pit Fortress.

After thinking about it, Charles looked at the young man who had been following him for more than ten years.

"Dip, I have already told the first mate and the second mate. After thinking about it, I think it is necessary to tell you that if I die, even if the situation in the future is desperate, you must continue to explore."

"Captain, what did you say? How could you die? You see that you haven't died for more than ten years, what?"

"Don't interrupt, what I'm saying is true. I'm also an ordinary person. I'm the one who's chosen one has left with my shadow."

"If I really died in search of the dark road, maybe this ending would be better than if I died old on Hope Island." Charles's words were filled with calmness about death.

Dipp, with a serious expression, walked to Charles with a crutch and nodded vigorously. "Okay, I promise you."

"Good brother."

As the Narwhal opened into the gate of the Giant Pit Fortress, the crew were notified to get a five-day rest time.

Although there is no special whispering sound in the deep sea here, the string in my mind will easily break if it is too long for a long time.

Fortunately, various relaxing places for the Giant Pit Fortress have been opened, and they can release the pressure to the fullest.

But this did not include Charles. After jumping off the deck, he immediately walked towards the Explorer Association, which was being renovated. He wanted to see if other explorers found clues of darkness.

As soon as I walked into the Explorer Hall, the huge map was presented in front of him, but the direction of exploration of the Explorers was a little wrong.

However, according to the plan he had formulated, it should have been to explore around the surrounding scope of the God of Light, which is more efficient.

But now the map shows that all explorers have begun to explore the west in large quantities.

Just when he asked this question to the head of the Explorer Association, he received an unexpected answer.

"Governor Charles, you can ask the big guys stationed on the east side of the Giant Fortress, their gods made us do this."

"Si Mian? The God of the Hik tribe?" Charles immediately remembered the warning Anna told him before leaving.

The other party was interfering in his layout in the fortress of the giant pit. Charles vigilantly noticed this. Maybe this was a temptation. If he didn't take action, maybe the other party would be more aggressive.

Thinking of this, Charles quickly rushed out of the Explorer Association and ran towards the east of the Giant Pit Fortress.

The strongholds of the Haike tribe are very easy to find, especially in front of them who are more than three meters tall.

They occupied a corner of the Giant Pit Fortress and built their own whale skin tents.

As soon as Charles approached their stronghold, he was immediately stopped by a Hik tribe with a giant sword inserted into his waist. His height was taller than the average Hik tribe, almost reaching four meters.

"Our God has been waiting for you for a long time, please come with me."

Stepping on the ground with a hint of trembling, Charles followed him into the tent.

In the middle of the many simple tents, there is an ornate dome temple, and Charles was surprised how they built it in such a short time.

"Which god is you here?" Charles asked.

The giant holding the sword continued to walk forward without looking back, "I don't know, please ask yourself."

The giants took a big step, and Charles could only keep up with him by trotting. After a few minutes they arrived in front of the strange temple.

Seeing the giant beside him pulling his sword and sticking on the ground, Charles walked inside.

It was unexpectedly bright inside, with whale oil candles as thick as arms everywhere.

The moment Charles walked into the room, he felt a look coming from the wall.

Several monsters with evil and reflective skin lie on the wall like geckos. The trumpet-shaped suction cup, the lizard-like body, and the limbs are stiffly bent at the elbows, which are the messengers.

Charles felt the hostility in their eyes and couldn't help but feel alert.

At this moment, a man in a colorful robes came over. "Mr. Charles, the wise Pogro is already waiting for you. Please ignore them, they see that everyone is like this."

"Is that true? I've seen them before, and they didn't have that attitude at that time."

Charles left the envoy on the wall and followed the Hik tribe into the depths of the temple.

The tall walls are very neat, that is, there are no reliefs of gods or inscriptions and murals, and they are neat and not like faith.
