Chu Feng spread a map on the table and kept sketching on it with the pen in his hand.
"If I remember correctly, Charles should be here, right near the hall of the Light and Shadow Society."
"Bang bang bang bang"
There was a sudden knock on the door, and Chu Feng frowned. He didn't want to come into contact with too many people, lest any flaws be discovered.
"Karl, what's the matter? I didn't see you during dinner this morning?"
The speaker was a red-haired young man, not much different in age from him. He shouted loudly as soon as he entered the door. The relationship between the two must be good.
"Come in first." Chu Feng closed the door and said calmly.
"What are you doing with the door closed? It's broad daylight. Hey, what's the sound of your voice just now..."
The red-haired young man suddenly felt something was wrong and was about to ask when he suddenly noticed that Karl's eyes had become extremely deep, like two deep whirlpools. He stroked his forehead and suddenly felt a little sleepy, and his mind was groggy.
"Sleep, sleep, you won't feel sleepy when you wake up." A deep voice sounded, and the red-haired young man fell asleep obediently.
After a while, the red-haired young man suddenly woke up and found himself leaning on the chair.
"Hey, why did I fall asleep?"
"You're awake. You may not have had a good rest during this period. You just fell asleep while talking."
"Oh, yes, I haven't had a good rest in the past few days. I fell asleep while talking. I should go back and catch up on my sleep now." The red-haired young man, whose real name is Lindy, felt that Karl's words were reasonable, so he apologized and left.
lighthouse outer ring,
At this time, the living area of the dust people became extremely lively. This time, several dust people who followed the waste hunters out to collect supplies brought back a shocking news. A new area of the wasteland suitable for human survival appeared in the west, and there were no monsters.
of the New World.
Everyone was excited, and the news spread as fast as dominoes. Everyone was discussing whether the news was true or false. If it was true, wouldn't it mean that the lighthouse could restore its ground base again, and humans would never have to face it again?
A life of despair that cannot be controlled by this kind of life. Some far-sighted mortals have even begun to daydream that if humans return to the ground, perhaps the status of mortals will change.
Chu Feng didn't know that the seeds he deliberately planted had already begun to take root and sprout, and it might not take long for them to sprout out of the ground. Once the quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes, it would be very lively.
Light and Shadow Club
The church founded by Lighthouse to control people's thoughts believes in the Lord of Light and Shadow. When the end comes, human beings often choose to escape when faced with a desperate living environment. They use false gods to blindfold their own eyes, and they also cover their hearts.
.
As night fell, Charles stood alone in the room, not feeling sleepy at all. Seven days, only seven days, by which time everything would be settled.
"My lord, a hunter has come outside and wants to see you for something very important."
"Hunter?" Charles was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion, "What does the hunter want from me at night? Let him come in."
Charles looked at the person in front of him. He looked very ordinary and seemed to have no special features. Only his eyes were particularly bright.
"Who are you……"
"Master, I am Karl, don't you remember?" Chu Feng stared at the other party closely, with a deep light in his eyes.
"Ah...oh..." A trace of confusion flashed in Charles's eyes. He vaguely felt that the other person was familiar and kind, but he couldn't remember it.
"Sir, Sir, during this collection mission, I unexpectedly got some important information. Do you think?"
"You guys go down first." Charles waved his hand to dismiss the two guards guarding the door.
"You...I think you look familiar, but I can't remember. Have we met somewhere?"
"Master, shouldn't we be checking the hunter's information now? The rest is not important." Chu Feng's dark eyes suddenly burst out with a strange brilliance. The brilliance was like a whirlpool, deeply entangled in Charles' mind.
.
"You're right, the hunter's information is more important. That damn Mark is always against me. My father is too old and confused. He wants to hand over the position of the city lord to him. Why? Is he the illegitimate son of the city lord?
Can't you?" The jealousy in Charles's heart suddenly couldn't be suppressed, and he spoke out all at once. The person in front of him made him feel very kind and trustworthy.
"Captain, there is no need to be angry. As long as you become the city lord, Mark will not be at your disposal."
"Yes, that's right, the position of city lord is mine, and it should belong to me." Charles felt that he had met a soulmate, and every word this person said seemed to penetrate into the depths of his heart like magic.
"However, the handover ceremony will be held in seven days, and by then everything will be too late." Charles suddenly became frustrated.
"Actually, there is another way, and this way is also related to the news I brought today." Chu Feng suddenly said mysteriously.
"Really, tell me what you can do."
Charles' mood fluctuated greatly, and there was a slight sweat on his forehead.
Chu Feng frowned. The Soul Transfer Technique cannot be used on one person for too long, otherwise the person will collapse due to too severe mood swings. It is better to combine it with hypnosis for better results.
"The new continent that appeared in the west is real. It is vast, fertile and free of monsters. If the lighthouse reaches there, it can land on land and all the people will not starve to death. At that time, the existence of hunters will be
Without the meaning, Mark's importance will be greatly reduced. When the time comes, will the city lord still pass the position to him?"
Charles' mind was a little slow at this time. He didn't hear the flaw in the words. He just felt that the other party was right. Once the hunters no longer needed to hunt, the basis for their existence would be gone. At that time, as the only parent and son of the city lord,
He is the most legitimate successor.
The lighthouse has a strict hierarchy, and the three laws deny the emotional relationships of the old society. As a superior city lord, no one can see him without orders, including his biological son Charles.
Today was an exception. The city lord had just sent an order to have a heart-to-heart talk with him in the room.
After receiving the order, Charles got up and went, but he was not alone. He was followed by his most trusted 'friend', Carl.
"Sir, the leader of the meeting, the city lord only ordered you to be summoned alone. This person..." the guard reminded.
"Don't worry, I will explain it to the city lord. Isn't my identity enough to make people believe it?"
The two guards looked at each other with some embarrassment on their faces, but they finally let him go. After all, Charles had a special status. He was not only the leader of the Guild of Light and Shadow, but also the son of the Lord of the City. This news had already spread to the upper levels.
Chu Feng followed Charles into the door. The moment the door closed, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

On the second day, City Lord Morgan once again summoned all the top leaders of the lighthouse for a meeting in the central hall. This time the topic surprised everyone.
"Lord City Lord, are you saying that the news about the emergence of a new continent in the west is true?"
"Yes, I have got the exact answer, and the news has spread. We can't stop it, we can only deal with it." Morgan sighed.
"I have decided that from now on, the lighthouse will sail westward at full speed. In terms of distance, the current resources should be enough."
"Lord City Lord, you have really decided. If this news is false, the consequences will most likely be unbearable for us."
"I know, but do you know that in this broken land, human beings have long since lost hope, and every extra day they live is thanks to luck. Mana's appearance is still expanding, and new species have replaced us as the place here
Master, one day, we will all become extinct." City Lord Morgan's face was sad, and the next second his expression suddenly became firm.
"This is a gamble. As long as we win the bet, we will have a bright future. If we lose, haha, even if we lose, it will just advance our future destiny."
Morgan walked to the window, turned his back to everyone and looked into the distance. No one could see it, and there was a strange light shining in his eyes.
