Chapter 108 Don’t you know the Church of Poseidon?

Hughes looked Chloe up and down, and finally nodded: "Sister Chloe, you are indeed very perceptive, so I won't hide anything. Miss Beatrice is indeed a trouble. If you can help me guide her, I will be very grateful."

"Guiding an [Investigator]? That's not an easy task. The instincts of a superhuman make her particularly sensitive to danger and lies."

"To you, too?"

Chloe's eyes narrowed.

"That's naturally different - just leave it to me. This is Fire Moth's sincerity."

"This is a good thing for both of us. You are now in the church of the Candlelight Society."

Indeed, if Beatrice could be pinned down in this manor, the Fire Moths' actions would be much easier.

The two men made eye contact, and both understood what the other meant.

Xius extended his hand: "Happy cooperation."

Chloe was stunned for a moment before she reached out and shook his hand: "Happy cooperation."

Then she walked straight out the door.

After watching Chloe walk out of the room, Zeus nodded. He shook hands with Chloe specifically because he wanted to use his detection ability to determine whether she was a human.

The paper-like substitute last night left a deep impression on him.

“It is flesh and blood.”

With this cooperation, future communication may be smoother and there will be more basic trust.

With a thought in mind, Hughes opened the mind link: "Attention, all teams, Chloe has reached a temporary agreement with me, she has gone to find Beatrice, pay attention to their movements."

"Can she believe it?"

"Don't believe it, stay alert."

"yes!"

Upstairs, Beatrice was already getting annoyed from searching. Her spiritual intuition clearly told her that it was nearby, but she just couldn't find it.

She made up her mind, picked up the dagger and decided to pry open the table to see if there was a layer in the wooden board inside.

"Lady Beatrice."

Beatrice was startled and looked up to see Chloe at the door.

Chloe held a candlestick in her hand, carefully glanced at the corridor outside, then slipped into the house and gently closed the door.

"It's me, Lady Beatrice. I heard you were up there, so I came here first. Did you find anything here? I'm Sister Chloe. I've read your information. Investigator, do you need my cooperation?"

As she spoke, she looked around with a vigilant eye, as if she had entered a cult's lair.

Beatrice was a little embarrassed, as she had hardly met this colleague of hers. Just as she was about to say something, Chloe let out a low exclamation.

"This! This is the holy emblem of the Temple of Silence!"

Following the nun's finger, Beatrice finally saw the tin can on the table.

"Hmm? This is..."

"It seems to be some kind of ointment from the Silent Temple? They often use this kind of thing." Chloe gritted her teeth and said, "This group of people actually infiltrated here. Fortunately, you discovered it in advance. You are worthy of being an investigator!"

"Ah? Oh, yes, I have long felt that there is a supernatural aura here. I actually found it here. I mean, it is the Temple of Silence."

"It seems that they have already contacted the lord of this place. I hope that the earl lord will not be bewitched by them."

"Impossible! How could Mr. Hughes be deceived by those barbarians?"

Chloe's face twitched, and she took a few steps back and walked towards the door: "Then let's go out first. I saw the maid looking for you just now - I said you went to the garden."

"Oh, well, let's go to the banquet hall first."

Beatrice followed.

Along the way, Chloe was careful to keep her distance from Beatrice.

Although she had a talent for concealment as a [Nymph], she was too good at investigation as an [Investigator]. Although Beatrice looked like a novice, it was best not to have any physical contact, just in case.

The two walked all the way to the banquet hall and met Hughes who was waiting at the door. Chloe exchanged glances with him, took a step back, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"At least we have completed some cooperation, so we should be able to return alive, right? Even if this lord is crazy, he wouldn't do this."

"And with this basic trust, we can communicate further."

Zeus didn't think too much about it. He was very busy now. The banshees who had just been patrolling had made new discoveries. He had to greet Beatrice with complicated etiquette while replying frantically in the mental link.

"What's going on? Are you sure?"

"I am quite sure, my Lord, that ship is exactly the same as the pirate ship you mentioned."

"What moves does it make?"

"No, it just stopped there."

"Are there any other pirates nearby?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Only this one ship was found."

The Banshees mainly patrolled the manor and the island. There were not many patrolling Banshees in the nearby waters. Therefore, when the pirate ship was discovered, it was unknown how long it had stayed there.

What do these pirates want to do? Why did they suddenly stop near Castel? And at this time. Now the Banshees are gathered on the island. Are they plotting something?

"Is there a sampan coming?"

"I didn't see it."

Hughes' expression remained calm, but his heart was in turmoil. He quickly issued an order in the mind link: "Immediately strengthen the monitoring of the coastline, especially near the pirate ship. If there is any abnormality, report it immediately."

"yes"

Hughes regained his composure, still with an elegant smile on his face, and said to Beatrice: "Miss Beatrice, you look a little tired, do you need to rest? The garden of the manor is very suitable for relaxing."

"Will you join me?"

"I'm sorry, I still have some preparations to do. You can take a rest first. There will be a show later."

Beatrice nodded and walked down the stairs reluctantly.

Hughes's gaze returned to Chloe.

"It's going well," she whispered.

"Then we can continue our conversation. Wait a moment, it seems that other guests have arrived."

"Other guests?"

"Yes, guests from Gem Bay. Those pirates. Somehow, they seem to be interested in my dinner party as well."

"Someone from the Church of Poseidon?"

"The Church of Poseidon? What is that?"

He seemed to have a vague impression of this name, but when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't think of it.

"What do you mean, are you kidding me? Don't you know the Church of Poseidon?"

"have no idea."

Chloe stared at Hughes until he felt a little uncomfortable.

“I wonder if there’s something wrong with the Church of Poseidon?”

"There is a problem, a big problem - I don't know which of us is crazy. All creatures in the sea are under the jurisdiction of the Sea God Church. Aren't your men from the sea?"
