Chapter 48

"You know that thing is like a bullet, use it once and it's useless?"

"I only need one, can you get it here?" Charles said urgently.

The Skull Girl crossed her arms and thought about it. "Well...just one, let me think..."

A few seconds later, she clapped her hands together, "By the way, I heard that Shark cut off a batch of goods some time ago, and there was a mirror box inside. If you need it urgently now, I can buy you one at an extra price of 40,000 Echo, don't tell me I earn your money, this thing is not cheap."

"No problem! Give me one right away, please."

Seeing that Charles agreed so quickly, the Skull Girl felt a little annoyed, and the price was a little cheaper.

"Luna, treat this friend well for me. I'll come back as soon as I go." Just as the skeleton girl turned to leave, a girl in tulle on the bar crawled over like a kitten.

The alluring flesh in front of him was nothing compared to the anxiety in Charles' heart, and he was very uneasy at this moment.

Generally speaking, the only thing that can turn a vampire into ashes is sunlight, but sunlight should not be pretended. This illogical sea of ​​land has given Charles too many surprises, and he is not sure.

"Man~, why are your legs shaking so much? Are you enduring something?" the tulle girl said and was about to lie down in Charles' arms.

Annoyed, Charles raised his palm with the tentacle ring and pushed her out.

The delighted Orderic swooped down to cover her with a cloak, covered her mouth with his hands, and bit down on her white neck with his two blood-sucking fangs, his bare feet outside the cloak were constantly trembling.

In the following period of time, Charles experienced what it means to live like a year.

Skullgirl came back half an hour later, holding the same mirror case as on the piece of paper in her hand.

Charles was eager to open it.

"Wait! Captain!! Wait for me to go out first!!" Orderic, with his mouth full of blood, rushed towards the door in embarrassment.

Charles pressed the lid with trembling hands, and his breathing was a little short.

"You open it now?? Do you really treat the thing with 40,000 echoes as a toy?" Skull Girl's eyes widened.

"Brush!!!" As the box was opened, the dazzling light instantly illuminated the entire bar.

The light in the box is not like the scorching sun in summer, but like the sun in winter. It is warm and comfortable on the body, and it makes people feel sleepy.

Charles' previous anxiety turned into peace at this moment, feeling the sun brushing against his skin. He had never felt so close to home.

This dazzling light came and went quickly. In just three seconds, the brightness in the bar returned to before.

The men and women in the bar were quiet for a second or two before returning to the previous noisy environment.

Smelling the smell of the mites being killed on his clothes, Charles smiled lightly, and tears rolled down the corners of his eyes.

Inside the box is real sunlight, the light from the sun, which is also a signpost for Charles on his way home.

"The sea dog's friend is really rich. He uses the mirror box as a toy. Hey, do you need a woman? How about me?" The skull girl ran back to the bar and continued to adjust the cocktail.

Charles, holding the mirror case, sniffed, and asked Skull Girl, "Where did this thing come from?"

"Didn't I tell you? Wang will ship a batch of goods every half a month."

"No, I mean where did you get the stuff in here?"

The Skeleton Girl's swaying jug stopped, with a serious look on her face. "What are you going to do? The guys who wanted to steal business from Wang before were all skewered by him with a harpoon and fed to the sharks."

"I don't want to steal his business, I just want to know the source of this sunshine."

"Isn't that still the same? If it were you, would you tell others? Do you know how much money this business has made for the king? For the sake of seals, I advise you not to seek death."

But Charles didn't give up, and asked again: "When does he usually appear?"

Skull Girl sighed, "The auction king will usually appear after half a month."

Charles' fingers tapped sharply on the bar. "Is he the king of Sodom? The whole of Sodom is his??"

"That's right, it's not just Sodom, he's very powerful. He owns more than a dozen large ships over a hundred meters in size. Moreover, all the pirates in the North Sea must obey him, and even the governors of those islands are taboo."

Charles sat there thoughtfully with a dignified expression.

"Don't be dazed, give the money quickly." The skull girl said with her hands on her hips.

Charles was helped back to the bed by Orderic, but the pain of the wound could not conceal his doubts.

If this so-called king has a way to the surface, why doesn't he go up, but stays in this dark underground?

By relying on various resources on the surface, it is easy to become a superior person underground?

Or is this sunshine not coming from the sun at all?

Whatever the reason, Charles decided to get in touch, the only clue he had so far.

While he was thinking about various things in his mind, the second mate Kenona rushed in. "Captain, I got information about the old man from the local snake!"

"How?" Charles stood up from the bed.

After hesitating for a while, Kenona said, "Captain, I spent a lot of money to inquire about this news. Would you like to reimburse me?"

"No problem, hurry up and talk."

"Well, people nearby say that this old man has been here for a long time, and no one can tell when he came here. When most pirates came here, he was here to treat illnesses and save lives. No matter how serious the injury is in his hands, It can be cured. This person has such a little background, he is a doctor, and there are no other pirates looking for trouble, after all, no one can guarantee that he will not be injured in the future."

"So..." Charles thought about it.

"Captain, why do you want to inquire about his background? Isn't he a doctor?" Kenona asked curiously.

"Don't you think the Narwhal lacks a ship's doctor?"

Kenona opened his mouth slightly with a surprised expression. "You meant to—"

Just when he said this, the door at the door was pushed open, and the doctor limped in from outside. "Take off your clothes and change your dressing."

Seeing Charles winking at himself, Kenona left quickly.

The doctor clamped the bandage on Charles' chest with his iron hand, exposing Charles's chest full of wounds, and the wound that should have healed was oozing blood again.

"Is it too slow to die if you are running around with such a serious injury?"

After the doctor evenly applied a layer of black powder on the wound, he took it off with his iron hand, and a stapler-like mechanism appeared on it, and he directly stapled this thing against Charles' wound.

Charles didn't feel any pain, and the feeling of seeing his flesh and flesh being connected by metal rivets was amazing.
