Staji's silence gave Law a little hope.
As long as she didn't directly refuse, there was still a chance.
In Law's view, the team members who went to the Dark Continent needed to have the following two points:
1. Survival skills and strength.
2. Interest in the Dark Continent.
Compared to the first point, Law thought the second point was the most important.
Therefore, everyone in Law's team was interested in the Dark Continent.
Take Bouhara for example, Law didn't agree at first, but Bouhara was really curious about the Dark Continent, so Law finally agreed to let Bouhara join the team.
This time, Law invited Staji because of Staji's ability, but he knew that Staji most likely didn't meet the second condition.
Perhaps, Staji didn't pay attention to the hot topic of the Dark Continent recently.
"Whether Staji refuses or agrees, we have to leave in a week at the latest." Looking at the silent Staji, Law thought silently.
One was hesitating, one was waiting, and one was watching.
The scene was silent.
After a long time, Staji looked at Ellie.
In a sense, Ellie was her host, and one of her responsibilities was to protect Ellie.
"If I have to leave Ellie if I agree to Law's invitation, then who will protect Ellie?"
Staji began to think about this problem.
Immediately, she seemed to realize something.
"I … am actually thinking about this problem."
Before deciding whether to accept Law's invitation, she was thinking about leaving Ellie.
In other words, not only did she not refuse Law's invitation, but she also subconsciously leaned towards it. The reason why she hesitated was that she was worried about Ellie.
After figuring out the key point, she looked at Law and simply said, "Ellie needs my protection, so I refuse."
Not only did she refuse, but she also said the reason for her refusal.
Between going to the Dark Continent and staying to protect Ellie, she chose the latter.
"I see."
Luo nodded.
Although he had a way to find a suitable replacement for Staji's bodyguard position, since this was Staji's decision, he would not continue to try to persuade her.
At this moment, Ellie looked at Staji and asked seriously, "Sister Staji, do you want to go to the Darkness Continent?"
Staji tilted her head and looked at Ellie, hesitation appearing on her pale face.
She was very conflicted.
Seeing the hesitation on Staji's face, Ellie showed a beautiful smile and said, "Don't worry about me, and don't underestimate the security team brought by Kenda. Besides, I'm not as weak as you think."
Staji shook her head.
Luo and Ellie saw this and did not understand the meaning of Staji shaking her head.
"Those people are very weak."
Then, the two of them heard Staji's evaluation of the security team.
Ellie could not help rubbing her forehead. If the members of the security team were compared with Staji, of course, they were very weak.
However, she could see that Staji wanted to go to the Darkness Continent with the team. Otherwise, Staji would have refused long ago. Why would she consider her?
To be honest, she also wanted to go.
Not to explore the unknown, but to follow Luo everywhere.
So she was a little envious that Luo would invite Staji.
Therefore, she also realized that Staji's joining the team was the result that Luo wanted. In other words, this was a very important thing for Luo.
Since it was important to Luo, then she had to help Luo.
Thinking of this, Ellie suddenly held Staji's hand and pulled her towards the door. At the same time, she turned back and smiled at Luo, "Give me one night, let me persuade her."
Staji did not look back, let Ellie pull her away, and looked at Ellie quietly.
Vaguely, she had noticed Ellie's inner thoughts.
Seeing Ellie's smiling face when she turned back, Luo was stunned for a moment and immediately smiled softly.
Just as when Ellie was short of money and wanted to ask him for tens of billions, he would not hesitate to give it.
If he was short of money and wanted to ask Ellie for tens of billions, the latter would not hesitate to give it.
For example, if Ellie had something to ask him for help, he would do his best to help without saying a word.
In the same way, if he wanted to ask Ellie for help, then Ellie would treat him with the same attitude.
This was the relationship between him and Ellie.
The next day, Ellie took Staji's hand and came to Luo.
"Sister Staji agreed."
Ellie looked at Luo with an expression that said, "Praise me."
On such an occasion, of course, Luo wouldn't praise Ellie. He just looked at Staji and asked seriously again, "Do you want to go to the Dark Continent?"
This time, Staji nodded simply, just like yesterday when she refused in the end.
She looked at Luo and couldn't help but think of what Ellie said to her last night.
"Sister Staji, I want to go to the Dark Continent because Luo wants to go there."
"But I know it's very dangerous there. If I insist on going, I will only cause trouble for Luo."
"But you are different."
"You are very powerful. Not only will you not cause trouble for Luo, but you will also be the help Luo needs."
"So, Sister Staji, you have to protect Luo well!"
Protect …
But why am I going to the Dark Continent?
Staji stared at Luo quietly.
Was it because of the man in front of her?
.....
Seven days after the sailing ceremony, the heat about the Dark Continent finally cooled down.
Ulubian Continent, Garfield Shipyard's private port.
Garfield is Ellie's surname, and the shipyard and this large port are one of Ellie's industries.
Today is the day Luo goes to the Dark Continent, so Ellie ordered to clear the people and ships in the port, so that there is only one medium-sized ship docked in such a large port.
There are no supplies on the ship, because the supplies are stored in Norb's fourth-dimensional apartment.
Moreover, the purpose of this ship is to take Luo and the others to find the turtle.
The sky is blue, and the sea is the same color.
White seagulls skimmed the water and then flew over the deck of the ship.
Luo raised his hand and put it on his forehead, looking at the blue sky and white clouds, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
After preparing for so long, he finally ushered in the second exploration road …
This time, he will set foot in all the places he can't go.
Because the supplies have been prepared, the atmosphere of the whole ship is very relaxed, without any sign of busy.
"Luo, we will set off in ten minutes."
Black Cat's voice came from the captain's room.
That trip to the Dark Continent has honed Black Cat's navigation skills to the Max, so of course, he will be at the helm this time.
"Roger."
Luo Hui said to him and then went to the boarding gate.
Ellie is standing there, and he has to say goodbye to Ellie.
In the captain's room, Nick is reading books about operation and navigation like crazy.
Black Cat looked at Nick. As an experienced person, he has a gratified face. For some reason, he has a wonderful feeling as a senior.
Thinking like this, he didn't know that the reason why Nick is crazily reading relevant books at the last minute is that he is afraid that he will overturn the ship.
Now that he more or less understands the relevant operation and knowledge, at least he can save the ship in an emergency.
At the boarding gate, Ellie is wearing a large sunhat and a white dress, and Kenda, who is wearing a housekeeper uniform, is also there.
Ellie put one hand on the brim of her hat, looked at Luo coming over, and smiled: "Be sure to come back safely, and bring some delicious food!"
"No problem."
Luo smiled.
At this time, Staji also came over and stood next to Luo.
"Woo!"
Suddenly, the loud sound of a steam whistle was heard.
It is Black Cat who is ready to sail.
"Don't you wait for me?"
At this time, a familiar voice came from the port.
