Chapter 128: Can the extraordinary paths be superimposed?

"From the North, to the White Crow Principality, and then to the coast of the Empire, I need to form a team that can explore information and collect intelligence for me."

Chloe swallowed hard.

She didn't expect that this was Hughes's plan, and helping Nora and transporting refugees was just a side job.

It is normal to think about it. With Zeus's layout in Castel, he will definitely not be limited to this small island in the future. At this moment, he is trying to extend his tentacles to the empire.

"Ms. Chloe, I know you want to show the value of the Fire Moth, but there is no need to do it in this way."

"I know you yearn for knowledge and technology, so just continue to work hard in this field. There's no need to waste your life in this direction. I can find someone else to build an intelligence network for me."

Chloe was silent. Hughes' meaning was very clear. What he needed was someone who could be in charge of intelligence for a long time, not a temporary emergency transition.

As the chief of the Fire Moth, she was willing to make sacrifices for the organization, and a trip to the North was no big deal, but if she had to deal with intelligence matters all the time and could not pursue knowledge for the rest of her life, she would feel painful even if she just thought about it.

"Well, I really can't seem to accept such a life," she said with difficulty.

"It's okay Miss Chloe. Research is also a contribution to Castel, and a particularly great contribution."

Chloe felt a little ashamed. She stood up and was about to say goodbye and leave when she suddenly felt something in her heart.

".But I have a good candidate."

Hughes blinked and motioned for her to continue.

"Isaac, he is in charge of logistics in the Fire Moth. He is not so keen on research, but he will definitely be very interested in going against the Candlelight Society."

"I'd like to hear more about it."

"He and his brother are orphans. They were originally members of the Candlelight Society. However, in a disaster caused by the evil god more than ten years ago, they were abandoned by the Candlelight Society. His brother died a very tragic death. The Candlelight Society's subsequent actions were also chilling. In the end, he chose revenge."

"Revenge? That's why he joined the Fire Moth?"

"Yes, although our main purpose is to pursue knowledge, we don't mind causing some trouble for the Candlelight Society, and Isaac is especially enthusiastic."

Zeus nodded. He understood. After all, the Candlelight Society and the Fire Moths regarded each other as heretics, and these sects were much more cruel to heretics than to pagans.

"Isaac has mastered many channels to contact the followers of the Fire Moth. These are our secret lines. It is not a problem to let them pass on the message. Besides, Isaac is a transcendent, a very special transcendent."

"special?"

"Yes, our Fire Moth's extraordinary path is Nymph, which is good at concealment, camouflage, and perception. Isaac, on the other hand, has two paths, Nymph and Investigator."

"Ah? There's a dual path?"

"Theoretically, it's impossible, but the circumstances when the evil god descended were very special. It is said that there was a being who could play with souls and combined the souls of many people together. In the end, only three people survived, and it is said that they all became dual-paths."

"He was"

"Isaac was not a transcendent at the time. His brother's soul was squeezed into his body. In order to prevent contamination, the Candlelight Society refused to treat him. His brother's soul died in his body, and the body was desecrated by the Candlelight Society. The "Investigator" is the relic left by his brother."

Chloe paused, recalling and saying, "Then he found our cult, swore the Fire-Chasing Vow, and became one of us. Finally, he advanced to become a Nymph, becoming a dual-path."

Hughes fell silent. Listening to Chloe's description, this Isaac seemed to be very suitable indeed.

The [Nymph] method is suitable for obtaining intelligence, and the [Investigator] is an all-round enhancement. When combined, the effect is not just 1+1=2.

And he hates the Candlelight Society so much that he doesn't mind doing some dirty work for Hughes.

He just may not be reliable. He has little contact with Isaac, and the other party does not report directly to him, so he needs to slowly build trust.

Chloe naturally knew this, and she quickly continued to explain: "Actually, you don't have to worry too much. He swore the Fire-Chasing Oath, and we were also worried about his betrayal at the time. After all, he came from the Candlelight Society."

Indeed, the Fire-Chasing Moth should be more worried. He is from the opposing organization. Does this oath seem to have a strong binding force? "The Fire-Chasing Oath can only be taken by the most determined members. Anyone who breaks the oath will be contaminated by the Lord of Moths and become the body of His coming."

"If he has the opportunity to go against the Empire and the Candlelight Society, I believe he won't mind adding two more clauses to his oath."

It sounds good, but there is a problem: the Moth Lord seems to have been purified by Zeus.

However, the body of the worker Zeus can hear the prayers of believers. Does this mean that he actually possesses some of the power of the Moth Lord?

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Then if he were to descend into that body, would he be able to establish some connection with the Fire-Chasing Oath?

Hiss, it feels very likely! "Then go ask Isaac for his opinion. If possible, bring him here to talk."

"Okay, I think Isaac will be very happy. He actually doesn't like staying on this island. He even asked me before if there is a chance for revenge."

Chloe was a little happy. This solved two problems at once.

Hughes was also very satisfied. Building an intelligence network was a necessary step for him. Castel was isolated overseas and had no information source of his own. It would be difficult for him to gain influence in the empire in the future.

That's why he deliberately developed his connections with Beatrice in order to have another information channel. Of course, it would not prevent him from selling some soaps to make money.

Speaking of which, he had to find a way to help Beatrice find a ship back to the empire. This noble lady seemed to be staying here and not leaving, which was giving Hughes a headache. It seemed that he had tried too hard to please her before. Now, whenever she had free time, she would stick to Hughes, making it difficult for him to go to many places.

We have to send her away quickly!

He had some ideas about the boat. Before, Josh wanted to borrow a boat from him, but Hughes hadn't responded yet.

Jeremiah should be back with the trade authorization in the next few days, so that Hughes can fund Josh to form a caravan, sail out to sea, and send Beatrice back to the empire. The caravan's soap can then be sold all the way to the north coast, and Isaac can be left there when they reach the northern border, and the refugees can be brought back on the way back.

One stone. Five birds!

As for where to find it on the ship?

Isn't Jeremiah coming here to deliver the authorization letter? He can't have come here by swimming, right? (End of this chapter)
