"Haha, actually, what does it matter if you are a foundation? If the foundation that Charles said really wanted to help us find darkness together, they would have come out long ago."

"Since there is no contact now, they are not in the same group as us." Julio said with a smile.

Jax nodded in agreement. "Just judging from the information obtained from Charles, they did not regain the strength of the darkness. If we want to regain the darkness, we can only rely on ourselves."

"Well... you're right, we can only rely on ourselves." Julio's eyes became firm.

"Let's go, Hope Island has shared their technology, let's see their new tricks, what exactly can make them grow so quickly."

After Julio finished speaking, he put his hands behind his back and walked towards the solemn hall in the distance.

"You really let your grandson go to the East Sea? The people of the Ftans are not good people, and he is likely to die there."

"Don't die, I can't shelter him from the wind and rain for the rest of my life. The reason why those wastes are so useless is because I protected them so well."

“If you want to enjoy the benefits, you have to pay.”

"Hey! You guys are a little more fucking stable!! If I throw my boat, I will peel you!"

On the Gobi clearing outside the site, Dipp was frightened and looked at the Narwhale floating in front of him.

The streamlined giant exploration boat is slowly floating up.

Every time the huge ship shook, his heart trembled violently, fearing that it would fall.

Next to him was also standing the first mate bandage and the second mate Nico. The three of them looked up at the modified ship with their heads raised.

"Don't worry..., the Narwhal... is not that easy to break... It's outside... Alloy 3..."

The metal rope of the Narwhal twisted and stroked upwards the gray leather tied to the bulging above. A black circle was drawn on the leather, which was the sign of the huge pit leading to the surface.

The Narwhale was still rising and its swaying was getting smaller and smaller. Finally, after ten minutes of trial sailing above, it slowly landed on the ground again.

Facing the three people walking over, the engineer who modified the Narwhale seemed very confident.

"Don't worry, three of you, as long as you conduct a few more trials and modifications, this ship will sail safely in the air. You are not the first exploration ship I modified, nor will it be the last one."

"How long will it take? We don't have much time to waste here." Nico asked with his fingers gently wrapping his hair around his ear.

"Ten days, there is absolutely no problem within ten days."

After repeated instructions, they were ready to go back, but the bandage was worried and he planned to stare here 24/7.

Dipp and Nico walked towards the busy site.

"Why didn't the captain come for such an important thing?" Nico asked.

"I heard that he was looking for ways to prevent the debris. If we couldn't keep those things out, we wouldn't be able to explore next. Let's go, let's go to the bar for a drink." Dipp reached out and scratched the itchy scales on his body.

Dipp didn't mean to ask Nico to drink temporarily, he wanted to bring the relationship between the two closer.

Nico is a new crew member and there is an invisible gap between the old crew member. Dipp can see that he wants to break this gap so that he will believe in each other only after exploring it.

Nico looked at him unexpectedly and nodded slightly. "Okay."

In the bustling tent bar, the crew members spoke loudly.

The smell of wine, sweat, and smoke mixed together, and Dipp walked in it, making him feel a special sense of peace.

Once upon a time, this place was like his family. I usually had fun here when I had nothing to do, drank and listened to others bragging, and played cards with my companions.

But since he got married, he hasn't set foot on this kind of place for a long time.

However, Nico seemed very uncomfortable with this dirty environment. He frowned slightly and took out a handkerchief to wipe the stool.

"Hey! Girl! Give me two beer here! Hurry up!" Dipp raised his right hand and snapped his fingers at the plump maid in the distance.

When Dipp raised the transparent glass wine and drank it, he took a comfortable breath, and the feeling of discomfort finally disappeared.

The dry surface made Dipper, who was a deep diver, was not suitable, but he never said anything to anyone else, and this little thing was not worth complaining about.

When Dipp started drinking his second drink, Nico next to him was still wiping the table.

"Hey, have you also been an explorer before? Have you never been to this kind of environment? If you compare it in the dock bar, it is clean, so sit down quickly."

After thoroughly wiping it, Nico sat down, held up the beer with his little finger and took a sip.

"I am different from you. Before I became explorers, my father and mother lived in the heart of the island. They did not allow me to come to the bar in the dock area. According to my father's words, this is a place where the inferior people gather."

"Swish~" Dipp whistled and said in surprise: "It's really rare for people in the island to be honest. I'm a little curious about how you joined this industry before."

"Generally speaking, there are several types of explorers, pirates, captains who owe huge sums, idiots who have dreams, but for me, none of them are."

"I became an explorer because of my love. At that time, I was still very young and very impulsive. I always thought love was everything. He was a fool with dreams. As a result, he died and I became the governor." Nico's eyes holding the wine glass were filled with a trace of memories.

"Guess how old I was when I was exploring Coral Island?" Nico leaned towards Dipp, blinking his right eye with long eyelashes.

Dipp looked at Nico's face, trying to determine the specific age from his face.

The long brown hair fell from her beautifully contoured face. Although Nico's appearance was quite outstanding, the keen Dipp still noticed the crow's feet that the other party tried to cover up with makeup.

"Coral Island is a new island. It has only been discovered for less than 20 years. Then you should have discovered that island in your twenties, that's right."

"I am forty-nine this year, and I am indeed 24 years old when I explored Coral Island. You guessed it right."

"Sometimes life always makes people unable to guess what they will encounter. I thought I would eventually die on Coral Island in this life. Who would have thought that when I was close to fifty, I would go to sea to explore this day."

"Then you can do it. You haven't gone into the sea for more than 20 years, and you can still explore. I have a group of people who haven't gone to sea for three years. They are as fat as pigs, and everything is ruined."
