Chapter 257 A strange banshee?

Zoe helped Xius to a quiet room, settled him down, and then left the room.

This is what Hughes requested.

So far, all his efforts to save Castel have failed. The enemy is too powerful to be stopped, but the information he has obtained is extremely limited.

But as Hughes said, he planned to struggle until the last moment and try all possibilities, so now was not the time to sit and wait for death.

Even if the sea water surges up tonight, he still has a few hours to find a solution.

If there was no way to solve the problem in Castel, then he could still descend into another body! This was what Hughes was thinking at the moment. He planned to go to the outside world and use the body of the worker Hughes to get information. If that didn't work, he would communicate directly with Beatrice, betting that she wouldn't disconnect directly, so that he might be able to get something out of her.

As for whether the questions he asked were useful, he didn't know.

He at least knew the truth about the Pirate Court. With the information, maybe he could really piece something together.

Let’s return first.

Zeus's weak eyes gradually became empty. At the same time, Zeus raised his head on the throne.

He slowly glanced around the rooms of the palace and sighed, hoping that this would not be the last time Lord Zeus's body would descend upon him.

Shaking his head, his eyes fell on the worker Hughes, and the body raised its head and gave a shy smile.

Soon, his vision went dark.

When he woke up, Zeus subconsciously wanted to operate the silk thread to pull several people into the link, but then he was stunned.

The thread is gone.

This time, Zeus really opened his eyes wide. This was his last hope. Could this wait?

Xius suddenly felt something was wrong. He looked down at himself and showed an expression of realization.

He was no longer in the sea.

If he guessed correctly, the sea water from outside was flowing along the eye of the storm to Castel. The sea water there was about to rise to the cathedral, and the sea water here should also drop accordingly.

Although he didn't know the principle, his abilities would be enhanced in the sea, and when he came to the shore, he naturally could not see the silk thread connecting everyone.

So that's what he saw. Zeus stood up and wanted to go to the sea. This was the original location of Castel. After the entire island was dug out, the remaining foundation was much higher than the surrounding seabed. As long as he walked out of this range, he could enter the sea.

The area was not large, so no matter which direction he went, he should arrive in a short while.

But just as he stood up, he heard someone say, "Who are you?"

Hughes was startled and turned to look in the direction of the sound, only to find a rusty scimitar against his neck.

Following the scimitar, Hughes saw a slender arm, then a second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth.

A tall figure stood in front of him, nearly three meters high, blocking the setting sun.

".Banshee?"

The other party was obviously shocked and asked in surprise: "You actually recognize our clan? Who are you?"

This banshee has a somewhat unfamiliar face. She has long emerald green hair, and her eyes and scales are the same color, reminiscent of the green grass in the forest. She has a tall and slender figure, and her every move is elegant and mysterious.

There were only about a hundred banshees in Castel, and Zeus could recognize them all. He didn't remember this person.

Banshees outside the island? Are there other groups of banshees?

Wait, Zeus frowned. The reason why Caster's Banshee can move on land is that she has signed a symbiotic contract with him. Otherwise, she will turn into a swollen monster in the shallow sea due to the water pressure, and there is a high probability that she will explode and die if she leaves the sea.

The demon in front of him was also standing on land. Did she also sign a contract? Zeus looked at the demon in front of him with suspicion. The more he looked at her, the more familiar she looked. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to his mind, and a name came out of his mouth:

"Monica?"

"ah?"

The tall enchantress was visibly stunned, then her eyes widened: "How do you know my name?"

This time it was Zeus' turn to be stunned. He looked at Monica in disbelief. She was no longer the child she was before. With a slender figure and pretty face, she was basically an adult banshee.

"Monica, why are you here? No, why are you like this!?"

Monica showed a confused expression: "You know me? Are you an islander from Castel? But I don't know you. As for why I became like this - it's simple, I'm an adult."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

She spun around happily, waving her emerald-like snake tail to show off.

But then her scrutinizing eyes fell on Hughes again: "But who are you? You should be a corpse now."

Her five free hands pointed at the big hole in Zeus' chest: "Humans can't survive like this. Don't try to fool me. I've been watching you for a long time!"

Monica's expression became more alert:

"And you can even manipulate those thin lines in the sea! I saw it last time. Where are those thin lines of yours? Take them out!"

"You, you discovered me before? When!"

"Don't answer questions with questions! You haven't answered me once!" Monica was obviously a little angry. She put the scimitar against Hughes' neck and glared at him fiercely.

"Those threads can only be used in the sea. Now the sea water has receded, so I can't use them."

Monica frowned when she heard this and said to herself, "Sea water. Sea water again? This is troublesome."

"So you've been spying on me?"

"What do you mean by peeping?!" Monica opened her eyes wide. "You look so weird, I must observe you first. Who knows what the thread of yours is used for?"

Xius didn't respond to her because he suddenly remembered something: "How did you survive? This is beyond the scope of the symbiotic contract, you should be losing vitality all the time, right?"

He glanced at Monica. Her face was ruddy and she didn't look injured at all. But she had been away from Castel for more than a month. She should have been dying from the symbiotic contract, right?

Could it be that this is also Castel, unaffected? "Wait, I remember that the Black Pearl had been not far away before. Even if you don't know Jeremiah, Ken must know him. You get along so well with his sister Gaia, why don't you go find him? He's obviously on the ship, right?"

Monica's expression suddenly dimmed when she heard this. She was silent for a while, then quietly said, "I can't go back anymore, even if Castel comes back."
