Chapter 29 Eyes in the Sky

"Where have you been?" Charles, who was looking at the chart, asked the mouse who opened the door.

"Going out to play." Depressed Lily replied sullenly.

"Hungry? I have some food on the table."

"Give it to the other mice, I've already eaten it." The listless Lily climbed onto the pillow and lay down directly.

Looking at the mouse in abnormal mood, Charles looked a little confused. He couldn't figure out what happened to the little mouse. Isn't everything over?

But he wasn't too lazy to get used to this stinking problem, so he pulled her tail and slipped directly onto the table.

"I found you a few books on operating the fort, read it quickly, I will take you to the port for training tomorrow."

Lily looked at the books that were stacked higher than her own, and instinctively resisted. "I don't watch it, and I already know how to operate the fort!"

"Don't talk nonsense, it's not that simple to become a qualified gunner. Since you are my crew member, I must let you meet the standard. There are various abnormalities at sea. It is possible that your slight shortcomings will kill everyone."

Charles opened a book and threw the mouse on it.

Under the coercion of the captain, Lily was forced to chew books that did not belong to her age.

But in such a high-pressure environment, the depression and sadness in her heart quickly disappeared. The cheerful Lily came back again, complaining to Charles all day long.

Annoyed by the rats so much, Charles, who had always talked less, talked more, and for the first time there was a little popularity in the apartment.

Half a month passed quickly, Lily's preliminary training was completed, and Charles started a new mission with the rested crew.

Because the fifth-level island explored before is already the most marginal island, this time Charles took the task of the northernmost sea area.

In general, it is safer to simply explore the sea area than the island. But what about Earth Sea, who can say clearly.

The rest of the crew members were surprised by the return of the mouse Lily. Under Charles' hint, no one inquired too much. They only knew one thing. The Narwhal now has a mouse gunner.

Black smoke rose from the chimney of the Narwhal again, and slowly disappeared under the watchful eyes of the dock workers.

Life at sea is still as calm as ever, and the unknown things that sporadically climbed up have been quickly resolved

It was the second time to enter the waters without buoys, and the crew calmed down a lot.

Perhaps because there were no casualties in the last mission, the crew members were highly motivated for the new mission.

Even though they only rested for half a month, everyone's face was full of confidence. The second mate, Kenona, even wanted to introduce his cousin to the ship and make a fortune with him.

The crew members are speculating privately how long it will take for them to explore a new island and make a fortune with their captain.

In the cockpit, Charles held a pen and calculated the current position of the ship on the chart based on the speed and direction.

Originally, this was the job of a navigator, but now he is doing it himself. This task cannot be sloppy. As long as the coordinates are a little bit off, the actual position will be a thousand miles away.

After confirming again and again that today's coordinates were correct, Charles turned around and planned to go to the captain's cabin to write a sailing diary.

But when he just walked out the door, he felt some kind of awkwardness for no reason.

Charles, who was standing at the door, turned around and looked at everything in the cockpit.

The cockpit of the Narwhal is much larger than that of the Mouse, the size of half a classroom.

At this time, the boatswain Dipper was at the helm, and the first mate Bandage sat aside to supervise the navigation, and the two were talking.

"Bandage mate, do you know? James actually got married secretly! He didn't call us when he got married. Do you think he is a little too friendless?"

"Left rudder 15...speed increased by 5 nautical miles..." Bandage commanded dumbly, as if he didn't hear the bosun's complaint.

Looking back and forth in the cabin, Charles finally found the awkward point. He went straight to the bandages and pulled the bandages off his broken leg with his hands.

The thigh that was swallowed by Anna before actually grew a section, and the ink-black skin covered with tattoos formed a sharp contrast with the newly grown bright white skin.

Dipper obviously also noticed this surprising situation, his eyes widened to the maximum, and he made a fuss and said, "My God, you can grow back after breaking your leg? Are you an octopus in the sea?"

"Don't look around when you're at the helm!" Charles yelled, and the curious Dipper quickly shrank back.

Charles pointed at the broken leg with his finger, and asked towards the bandage, "Can you tell me what's going on? I've never heard of it. Fortanists have a special way to regenerate severed limbs."

"I... I don't know... My memory is very messy... I have been to many places... and experienced many things, but my memory will disappear..."

The bandage covered his head with his hands, and there was a trace of pain on his face. "I don't think it's called a bandage...but I'm not sure..."

It seems that this guy is also a person with a story. Charles sighed slightly.

He reached out and patted him on the shoulder. "It's okay. If you can't remember the past, don't think about it. Now you just need to remember that you are the first mate of the Narwhal."

The bandage sitting on the stool raised his head, the corners of his mouth forcefully raised, revealing an extremely weird smile. "Thank you...Captain."

After speaking, he took a long black needle and poked skillfully on the newly grown thigh, and a row of small characters appeared on his thigh. "Captain Charles can be trusted."

"Mate, actually, you don't have to—"

"Captain! There is a situation!! Look out the window!"

Hearing Di Pu's flustered voice, Charles immediately looked out the window.

Pieces of bright yellow swayed and fell. This scene made Charles seem to see the snow on the earth, but there was no sky in the earth sea, so how could there be snow?

Facing the anomaly, Charles, the captain, immediately issued countermeasures. "Everyone advances to the cabin and leaves this sea area at full speed."

Bright yellow "snow" accumulated more and more on the deck, and the atmosphere on the Narwhal began to become tense.

With the muffled sound of the Narwhal, the black smoke in the chimney began to roll thickly.

The tense Charles stared at the dark sea without even having time to blink.

"Huh~" "Huh~" There was a whistling sound, and waves began to swell on the surface of the sea.

"This... is this the wind? The earth sea is blowing? Are we close to the entrance of the surface?" A ridiculous idea appeared in his mind.

Charles suddenly thought of something, his pupils shrunk to a very small size, and he grabbed the red lever and pulled it hard. Above the cockpit, the searchlight that was supposed to be flat on the sea rose quickly and shot into the sky.

Charles rushed to the door and looked up, and suddenly he trembled inexplicably. An unprecedented fear enveloped his whole body.

Right above the Narwhal, a giant eye covering half of the sky stared straight at him.
