Chapter 25 The Mouse Comes Home
"Hmm..." Charles frowned slightly as he looked at the relic in his hand.
This kind of relic trades intelligence for body shape, and it's hard to say whether it's good or bad. If you don't even have basic cognition, no matter how powerful you are, it won't help.
And after the body becomes bigger, the three relics of oneself can't be used, and the strength may decline under the balance of each other.
Char quickly thought of the greatest use of this relic, "Although I can't use it, I can give it to my crew."
The following adventures will only become more and more dangerous, and it is impossible to rely on one person's strength alone.
The strength of the crew on the Narwhal must also be improved in all aspects, so as not to be held back.
The strong tendons on someone's body flashed through his mind, and Charles instantly found a new owner for this relic,
Regardless of the still aching body, Charles lifted the quilt and walked out with the relic.
Thirty minutes later, Charles stood on the deck and shouted to the four-meter-high chief engineer: "James, put the relics in your hand on the ground! On the ground!"
The other crew members who were okay watched the excitement around the outside with great interest.
The enlarged James sat down on the deck, and the entire Narwhal began to shake. After a full three seconds, he let go of his hand, allowing 434 to fall to the deck.
"The decrease in intelligence is greater than I imagined." Charles said to himself looking at the purple pyramid in his hand.
After testing, the growth of the physique makes the physical strength extremely strong, but the weakening of the intelligence is very fatal. There must be one person in command at all times, otherwise James, who is demented, will just stand still and play with his fingers.
"Captain, can I play with this thing?" Dipper looked curious and brought a group of sailors over.
Charles thought for a while and threw 434 over, "Try all of you and see who is more suitable for this thing."
For a while, the crew members on the deck shouted how lively they were, and Charles didn't stop them when they watched 434 as a toy.
People are not machines, and there are not many opportunities to relax like this on the earth and sea.
After Charles ordered a few words, he walked towards his bedroom, and the wound on his body began to hurt again.
The time at sea passed quickly, and the corrosive wounds on Charles' body were also healing quickly, and the occasional small accidents on the road were perfectly resolved by the crew. He who has always done it himself finally enjoys the privilege of captain.
When they saw the lighthouse on Coral Island, the entire Narwhal was overturned by the cheers of the crew, and they came back alive again.
As soon as the boat docked, everyone rushed out to vent their depression after receiving the reward from Charles.
Charles took the remaining two relics and planned to walk towards the Explorers' Association. These two things did not know their usefulness or disadvantages. He wanted to see if other captains had any clues.
Just when he was about to get off the boat, Charles saw Lily standing on the pier surrounded by brown mice.
Charles walked over, only to find that she had not left with drooping ears.
"Why didn't you leave?"
Charles' question startled Lily, and she turned around in a panic. "Mr. Charles."
"What are you doing standing here? Why don't you go home? Don't you always want to go home?" Charles grabbed its tail and raised it.
"But I've become a mouse, will my mother recognize me? Will she drive me out with a broom?" Lily asked pitifully.
Charles realized that, as expected, he was still a child, and it was normal to be afraid of such a drastic change in his body.
"Don't worry, there are no parents who don't worry about their daughters, even if you become a mouse, they won't dislike you." Charles comforted.
"Really??" Lily's ears perked up.
"Really, really." Charles looked at the mouse in front of him, inexplicably resembling his own sister.
Lily shook her body excitedly. "Mr. Charles, you are right. My mother will not forget me. She will miss me very much after I have been away for so long."
Charles put her down and was about to go out, but Lily hugged his fingers and said, "Mr. Charles, can you take me back?"
Just as Charles was about to refuse, he saw a pitiful look on the little mouse's face.
Charles sighed slightly. "Okay, I'll take you back."
The little girl turned into a mouse for some reason, and she didn't know if she could change back in the future. It's all poor people who can help.
Soon, there was a strange scene at Pier 3 on Coral Island. A man with black pupils led a large group of rats across the street.
After Charles paid 4 times the car fare and guaranteed that the rats would not bite the seat cushions, a steam car driver was finally willing to take them.
Lily's home is nearly an hour's drive from the port, and the closer the distance, the more excited Lily is.
She should be very happy now, right? Will I have this day too? Seeing the white mouse spinning on his lap, Charles had a hint of envy in his eyes.
"Sir, we've arrived. Turn left ahead and you'll see Dr. Oliver's house. There's a lovely little girl in his house. You'd better not take these mice there, it will scare them."
Lily, who couldn't wait, jumped out of the car without waiting for the car to stop, and rushed towards the corner at full speed with the mice.
When Lily rushed to the corner, her petite body instantly froze as if she had been electrocuted.
"Huh?" Charles, who sensed something was wrong, walked over.
At the upper left of the corner is an elegant two-story villa. In the yard in front of the villa, a gentle mother is drinking tea and chatting with her daughter.
Although the daughter looked only eleven or twelve years old, she looked a bit like Hermione in the first season of Harry Potter, the agility between her brows could already predict that she would be a more charming beauty than her mother in the future.
"Lily, is there a younger sister or older sister in your family?" Charles asked hesitantly, the mother in the distance didn't seem to feel the pain of a dying daughter.
Charles' words woke up the frozen Lily, and she broke down and screamed loudly.
"Ahhh!! That Lily is fake, I am my 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, I will bite her to death!!"
After Lily finished speaking, she rushed towards the distance with the mouse clips that had begun to bark their teeth and claws.
Charles raised his left hand with the ring, and directly caught Lily in the air. "calm down!"
Seeing that the white mouse was trapped, the mice turned around quickly, showing their sharp teeth at Charles, and their eyes began to glow fiercely.
Just when Charles touched the clown mask with his other hand, Lily stopped the mouse's attack, suspended in the air and cried loudly.
"Woooooh, Mr. Charles, I can't go home, my mother doesn't want me... what should I do??"
