Chapter 212 The extraordinary price has disappeared?

Zeus looked straight at Chloe, his orange-red eyes were as deep as the bottomless abyss. He exerted force lightly with his hands and wanted to say something else, but was surprised to find that the "Chloe" he was holding suddenly flattened.

This... seems to be her extraordinary ability? Before Xius could react, the girl's clear voice rang in his ears: "Look, how is it?"

"What's going on?" Xius grabbed Chloe's clone, frowned and was about to say something, but suddenly his heart moved.

The clone in his hand seemed as light as a balloon, but no matter how hard he pulled, it did not burst.

"This is the skin. To be more precise, it's the cocoon. What do you think?" Chloe said, with her hands behind her back, pacing slowly beside the table. "It's light, tough, waterproof and fireproof. More importantly, I can make it into any shape I want. After thinking about it, I think there's nothing more suitable for making an airship than this."

Xius looked down at the [Cocoon] in his hand, then looked up at Chloe and said helplessly: "So this is what you meant. Well, I misunderstood you."

Chloe's eyes were a little mischievous: "Can't I be inhumane?"

"Of course not." Xius said without hesitation, "I know you are a transcendent. All transcendents are distorted to some extent. Even you, except for your appearance, have almost no similar structure to humans. But you were still a human before you became a transcendent, right? Becoming a transcendent was a decision you made as a human. Are you going to betray your past self?"

"I gave up all these things in pursuit of knowledge. Giving up the pursuit of knowledge would be a betrayal to myself."

Hughes shook his head. "I heard that you often gave candies to children before I came here. Is this also for the pursuit of knowledge?"

"That, that's just to win people's hearts! Nuns are supposed to preach." Chloe defended with her eyes wide open.

Hughes remembered the shabby and simple church. He almost knocked the door off when he first came in, and Chloe got angry with him.

Unfortunately, the church has been demolished. She personally led people to demolish it, and then rebuilt it on the ruins with heavy reinforced concrete. The church now only exists in memory.

"Miss Sister, if you are not ready to give up your humanity from the beginning, then I advise you to cherish it. Humanity may be a stumbling block in your pursuit of knowledge, but you can only abandon it once."

Xiu Si rubbed his forehead and felt a headache again: "It's just a personal thought. By the way, what is the cost of making this [cocoon]?"

Chloe smacked her lips and began to bite her fingers unconsciously. "This is what I find most strange. Normally, when I use [Cocoon]... No, using any supernatural power will consume energy, some are big, some are small. But recently, this consumption seems to have disappeared, and I can use supernatural powers at will."

"All the extraordinary people on the island no longer need to pay the price of their abilities."

Her tone was a little anxious.

For extraordinary people, any mutation of extraordinary abilities is extremely dangerous. The extraordinary power itself comes with a huge price, so it is called the extraordinary curse.

But now, these powers don’t require any cost?

No, Chloe was more inclined to believe that the price paid for these powers had changed, and she didn't know what she had to pay.

There is a saying among the Rhine nobles: If you don't know where to pay when you sit down at the table, you are the next dish.

Chloe felt like she was lying on the table, with unknown diners ready to reach out their knives and forks at any time.

In Blood Harbor, the "Prince's" residence, in the large reception room, the servants nodded slightly to the three people and then left.

Jeremiah, Ken, and Josh looked at each other and sat side by side on the sofa.

The "Prince" will be here soon, and they need to wait for a while.

Jeremiah's eyes were red, and he didn't dare to sleep all night. Fortunately, sailing on the sea often required staying up all night to go through storms, and he was used to it. He thought it would be no big deal to stay up all night.

But he still felt a little uncomfortable without his scimitar and musket, not to mention that he had taken a special shower and now he just felt uncomfortable all over.

Ken carefully looked at the furnishings in the room, then leaned over to Josh's ear and whispered, "Are you telling the truth? I see the furnishings here are very simple, and the servants are very polite. Is the 'Prince' really that bad?"

"Why would I lie to you?" Qiao Xi looked around to see if there was anyone around before he whispered, "Those people were deceived by him before, he's like that, he looks selfless and speaks righteously, but when something goes wrong, he runs away faster than anyone else."

Ken frowned, still finding it hard to accept.

It is said that when this "prince" was still a real prince, he had many loyal followers, and everyone who met him would be impressed by his temperament.

Perhaps he is naive, but he is indeed a pure idealist who strives to uphold fairness and justice. People may worry whether he is a good lord, but they never doubt whether he is a good person.

But soon, everything was exposed.

As the war began, his father, Grand Duke Tis, was tricked by the Queen to be executed in the Rhine. His followers found him, the only descendant of Grand Duke Tis, and hoped that he could lead the Principality of Tis to take revenge on the Saint Mir Empire.

There was a huge disparity in power between the two countries, and no one thought he could succeed. Even if the prince abandoned his country and ran away on the spot, no one could say anything.

In fact, those followers did not really think that the restoration of the country could be successful. They were just preparing to use this as an excuse to go into exile abroad. There would always be other countries that would accept them for political reasons. Although they would become puppets, they would still have a glimmer of hope for the restoration of the country.

But this prince turned around and denounced all his followers. There were not enough guillotines in the Rhine for those few days, and heads were hung in a row on the city walls.

The prince completely surrendered to the Queen and became the most loyal member of the royal party. The Queen even transferred the Territory of Tis to him and would go to the Rhine to hold a ceremony in a few days - of course, he would only be the nominal master.

The angry people began to call him "Prince", and Grand Duke Tis's former subordinates became disheartened and returned to their fiefdoms. No one mentioned the restoration of the country anymore.

As for the "prince" himself, although his reputation was completely ruined, being the Queen's dog was obviously much more comfortable than being exiled abroad. His life was not much different from when he was a prince before. He had no worries about food and clothing, and even no foreign threats.

Now, he is also an imperial citizen.
