Chapter 115 There is a traitor among us

Chloe returned to the church with a complicated look on her face.

Carefully moving the rotten door, she pushed open the trapdoor and entered the secret base underground.

The fire moths are best at hiding and camouflaging, and they can even use some rituals and magic to achieve amazing results.

For example, this trapdoor, when Chloe enters, it is the gathering point of the cult, and when others open it, it is the cellar where Candlelight stores sundries.

Moreover, these two spaces are not fake things that can be seen but not touched. They really exist and are just superimposed on the same door through certain techniques.

Extraordinary ability: cocoon.

This is also the reason why the Fire Moths dare to hide in the Candlelight Church. You must know that heretics are much more hateful than pagans, and the ones who hate the Fire Moths the most are the Candlelight Church - their former brothers and sisters.

"What's going on, Chief?"

"What did the lord say?"

The members of the cult gathered around and looked at Chloe worriedly.

In their opinion, Zeus's dinner party should be a dangerous place. The impression left by the group of banshees last time was too deep for them.

Silent encirclement, perfect coordination, decisive decision-making, this group of extraordinary creatures are natural warriors. If these moths were not good at escaping, they might have been left there.

What's more, there are a lot of banshees.

"It's going well. The lord is not what we thought before. He seems to have never been in contact with the Church of Poseidon, nor has he summoned the evil god."

Chloe gave a tired smile.

"In fact, I have some good news here - the lord is also very interested in knowledge, and he promised to share knowledge with us!"

The crowd fell silent.

The followers of the Fire Moth opened their eyes wide, as if they did not understand what Chloe said.

What does it mean to be willing to share knowledge with us?

"You mean, he doesn't intend to hunt us down, doesn't intend to expel us, or even..."

"Yes, he allowed us to study on his territory and even shared his knowledge with us."

Chloe repeated.

The believers looked at each other, with some confusion on their faces. They had always been hated and driven away by everyone, but now they really got the lord's permission to stay here?

Does sharing knowledge mean that they even get some recognition?

"We can stay here from now on. We don't have to hide here and there. We can walk in the sun openly."

In fact, it was not so fair, the Candlelight Society was still hunting them, but at least, a lord was willing to shelter them temporarily.

It has been unknown how long. Once the Fire Moths are discovered, it means they need to flee. It is not the first time that Chloe has gone to negotiate with the lord, but it is the first time that the believers have seen her smile after returning.

Zeus didn't know that while he was being very cautious in contact and information exchange, for the Fire Moths, it was already a beautiful and somewhat unreal ending.

Being able to stay here in peace, without having to be ready to flee to the ends of the earth at any moment, even sounds a bit like home.

When Chloe heard Hughes' promise at the manor, she couldn't help but tremble in her heart. She used all her strength to endure it.

She patted her face. She was the leader of the Fire Moth and needed to lead the cult. She couldn't be so weak.

"We have only reached a verbal agreement, and the cooperation has only a very fragile foundation. We must remain cautious in future contacts."

The members of the Fire Moth nodded in agreement, with unstoppable joy in their eyes. Many of them had packed up their things, ready to evacuate as soon as they received the signal.

Now it seems that there is no need for that, and they can finally settle down and spend time doing research.

"There is another good news, this!"

Chloe lifted the box she had been holding.

"This is soap, a cleaning product provided to us by Lord Hughes, a recent product of Castel!"

"It is said to be a new invention. The lord also told me that it is made from olive oil. Maybe we will have the opportunity to visit its production in the future."

Chloe took the soap and distributed it to the believers.

The Fire Moths had heard of this new thing and had secretly gotten a few pieces, but this box was a gift from the lord, so its meaning was naturally different.

The believers carefully held the soap up and observed it carefully.

“No matter how many times I see it, it’s still amazing that this is made with olive oil — is it edible?”

"Try it, you'll know if you try it, you really eat it!"

"What's that smell?"

“Evil, very bad”

“Hahahahahahaha”

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Looking at the people in front of her passing the soap around, Chloe couldn't help but smile.

What a lucky guy.

The lord was interested in them, in secrets, and best of all, in knowledge.

Maybe there will be more cooperation in the future, and even their experiments and research can be funded. This is an isolated island, far away from the empire, and those hateful Candlelight Society investigators can't find us. It's really wonderful to think about it. Shaking her head, she couldn't immerse herself in fantasy like this, there were still things to do.

"Isaac, follow me."

Chloe looked at the silent man in the distance, walked over, patted his shoulder, and whispered beside him.

The man nodded and followed calmly.

The crowd was still noisy. Long-term repression made them a little hysterical at the moment. It was hard to tell whether they were venting or simply happy.

The two walked all the way to the inner room, Chloe locked the door with her backhand, and spoke in a low voice.

"Mr. Isaac, I need your help."

"Please go ahead."

"I suspect there is a traitor in our order."

Isaac slowly raised his head, his eyes were covered with cloth, but he seemed to be able to see, staring straight at Chloe.

"Did you find anything?"

"That lord knows too much about us."

Chloe said with a gloomy look in her eyes.

The Fire Moth is the best at hiding, but Zeus successfully discovered her identity.

She thought that she had not exposed herself at all. When Zeus and Ash went to the cemetery to dig up the body of the Moth Lord last night, she had not yet discovered her identity. However, the invitation was delivered to her desk this morning.

There is only one possibility: someone informed on me.

"It's been a long time since we've had a traitor in our cult, huh?"

Isaac suddenly raised his hand, and Chloe immediately stopped talking.

The man gestured to the door, Chloe nodded, took out a dagger, quietly walked over, then suddenly opened the door, raised her hand and put the dagger against the neck of the man at the door, then "Lena?"
