Chapter 261: The Fire-Chasing Moth's Trump Card
In Castel Cathedral, Zeus, who was lying on the bed, gradually had some light in his eyes and he sat up suddenly.
"Recovered, recovered!"
He had just arrived, and not long ago, when he returned, he was still in a seriously injured state and had difficulty moving. But at this moment, Zeus felt the symbiotic contract and felt that his vitality was incomparably full.
At the same time, all the banshees sat up, and the soul connection suddenly became chaotic.
"What happened? Why did it recover all of a sudden?!"
"I was seriously injured just now, how come I'm healed all of a sudden?"
"That's not right. Where does so much vitality come from? Didn't the life pool just run out?"
Xius took a deep breath. He knew what was going on - Monica had passed through the eye of the storm and came here.
The terrifying vitality in her body was like an endless sea. In just a moment, she healed hundreds of seriously injured banshees.
Just after meeting Nini and others, they briefly exchanged information with each other. Nini was still skeptical about the identities of the two. Monica didn't waste any words and directly performed a telepathic synchronization. When several banshees opened their eyes, Nini finally accepted the reality with a complicated expression.
This is the good thing about the Banshee. One telepathy can save a lot of time and convince others instantly. They are indeed a race that is good at telepathy.
Then they passed through the eye of the storm. Zeus hesitated for a moment and asked a few people to leave the body of the worker Zeus on the seabed. There was no point in sending this body to Castel, and it could still be connected to Beatrice and others here.
Watching several banshees diving, Zeus took a deep breath and chose to return.
It all depends on how far Monica can go.
"Quiet."
While speaking through the mind link, Zeus also lifted the mute function on everyone.
"I just contacted Monica, and things have taken a turn for the better. Now we just have to hold off the monsters, and Monica will be here soon."
After he lifted the ban, he immediately received a question: "Who is Monica?"
"The vitality we just got was provided by her. She is another banshee. I will tell you everything later. Now, everyone, prepare for battle."
The banshees fell silent in an instant. They knew how powerful the enemy they were facing was. They could only talk about the future after they defended the Castel Cathedral. Now was a moment of life and death.
After giving orders to the banshees, Zeus opened the door and walked out of the room. Zoe was waiting at the door. Besides her, there was actually another visitor.
"Richard?" Hughes looked at him strangely. "What's the matter?"
Richard didn't wear his usual black windbreaker, but the red cape of the Fire Moth. He was a little surprised to see that Hughes looked healthy, but he still bowed his head and saluted: "My Lord, I am here on behalf of the Fire Moth. Castel is in danger right now. We have some forbidden items that may be able to save his life."
Why are they taking out the life-saving stuff now? Hughes frowned subconsciously, but after thinking about it carefully, he sighed. They all listed the crazy energy of the Fire Moth as a taboo, and the side effects might be worse than the sinking of Castel.
"Tell me as soon as possible, the monsters are about to launch a general attack." Zeus asked the banshees about the battle situation in the mental link before speaking.
Richard didn't waste any time and took Zeus all the way to the hiding place of the Fire Moth.
Pushing open one door after another, Zeus finally came to a statue?
No, that was not a statue, it was a figure that was somewhat familiar to Xiu Si. He had almost forgotten this person, but he did not expect to see him again here.
"Brother Keschi?!"
Yes, it was Brother Keschi whom I hadn’t seen for a long time.
The last time I saw him was in the old church when Chloe's identity was not exposed.
When the monk saw him before, he was like a puppet, almost unable to move. When Zeus touched him, he found that he was not flesh and blood.
Zeus had always thought that he was some kind of puppet of the Fire Moth, just like the mechanical priest who killed the worker Zeus. Now it seems that his identity is more than that?
"We can use a certain price to activate Brother Keschi, also known as [Chrysalis], and he can perish together with the monsters of the Pirate King's Court."
Richard said briefly.
"What's the price?"
"Souls, lots of souls, and they must be sacrificed voluntarily. Forced sacrifices are ineffective."
Xius was silent for a while, then he sighed and asked, "How much?"
"About 10,000, among which there are at least 50 extraordinary people."
Hughes looked at Richard with an incredulous look. "Ten thousand? You said ten thousand? Let's not talk about whether we decide to use it or not. Even if we want to use it, how can we have so many people to sacrifice? There are only ten thousand people in the whole of Castel!"
After saying this, Zeus still couldn't believe it. He even had some self-doubt: "Is there something wrong with my understanding? This soul doesn't have to be human. It can be replaced by a sea snake summoned by a banshee?"
"No, it's not a game of words. It really requires the sacrifice of 10,000 people."
Hughes was speechless. He finally understood why Richard did not take this thing out in advance. This was indeed a taboo. Compared with the sinking of Castel, it was not necessarily better.
What's the point of keeping a weapon that requires all of Castel's men to be killed before it can be used? Saving an empty island?
Richard was obviously a little hesitant. He also knew how outrageous the price was. "We have accumulated some over the years. There are about two thousand souls in this [chrysalis], and there are also more than a dozen souls of extraordinary people. If you want to use them."
He struggled to squeeze out the words from his throat: "It can still be started."
The room fell into silence.
Finally, Hughes shook his head and said, "Don't use this for now. Besides, even if we kill the monsters in the Pirate King's Court, it may not help us to break the siege on Castel."
"Yes." Richard suddenly said, "Kill the monsters in the Pirate King's Court, and the fishmen and sea urchins will retreat. This is what Chief Chloe said."
As he spoke, he handed over a diary, a dip pen and a knife.
"By writing with your own blood, you can communicate with the soul inside the [Pupa], and Chloe is inside it."
"Chloe, her soul is here!?"
"Yes, the moment we [nymphs] become transcendents, we have actually put our souls into the [chrysalis], and the body in front of you is just a shell."
Seeing the look in Hughes' eyes that instantly lit up, Richard sighed, "My Lord, I know what you are thinking. Chief Chloe is indeed dead. Everyone has only one body, and it is almost impossible to find an empty body to revive her. Besides, we are in great danger right now."
Can't find the empty shell? Hughes glanced at him, said nothing, and looked down at the diary.
He rubbed the knife on the back of his hand a few times and asked, "My blood has purification power, so there won't be any trouble, right?"
"Don't worry, there are only pure souls in here."
Hughes took a deep breath, cut his skin with a knife, and blood flowed out. He dipped the tip of the pen in blood and placed it on the diary.
The moment the pen tip touched the diary, a line of words quickly appeared on it.
"Hughes, listen to me. Don't be afraid to use this taboo. It may be our last hope."
