Chapter 287 Zoe, It's You
After weighing the pros and cons for a moment, Xiusi's eyes became firm. He quickly separated the approximate directions of the silk threads in his hands, selected the densest bundle, pulled out one at random, and tied it together with the others.
The silk threads in this direction are new, so dense, and the direction matches, so they can only be Castel.
Pulling someone in Castel into the link was actually something Hughes had planned long ago. He needed someone to share Castel's situation with him and find out what was happening outside.
Castel was isolated overseas and had very little contact with the outside world. Xiusi didn't know a lot of common sense information, and he couldn't just ask himself.
As for who this person is, Zeus feels that it is most likely a banshee. They are all extraordinary beings, have closer connections with himself, and there are quite a few of them, so it is easy to guess.
But feeling the breath coming from the other side of the link, Xius found that he had guessed wrong.
Zoe flipped through the novel in her hand with little interest. Although she was reading the book, her thoughts were wandering somewhere else.
Finally, she sighed, put the book aside, and lay down on the table.
For some reason, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't finish reading those knight novels recently.
These were obviously her favorite topics and her most beloved stories, but they could hardly stir her emotions.
When Zoe saw the plots in those books, she felt as if she was watching a stage play, with actors performing carefully constructed stories. It was exquisite, ingenious and amazing, but it was far from reality.
Reality, reality, it is obviously boring, but after seeing the suffering and happiness of too many people, Zoe always feels that those stories are not in the same world as her own.
She was no longer the protagonist who followed the ups and downs of the plot and experienced a new life, but became an indifferent audience sitting under the stage. No matter how wonderful the scenery on the stage was, it could hardly touch her heartstrings.
What's wrong with me? Zoe had no answer. Recently, many witches were interested in her novels, so she simply took out all her books and made a small library for the witches to read.
If it were in the past, she would never have contributed these novels, as they were her treasures.
She was a maid in the manor at first, and later taught literacy classes. Now that most of the islanders have learned to read and write, she is not good enough to teach advanced classes, and the school is temporarily closed. Finally, she had to return to Zeus and help him with chores.
I always feel like a waste. After going around in circles, I'm back to working as a maid. Every day is becoming boring, and I even lost my only hobby, which was reading novels.
Zoe sighed again.
"It would be nice if life could change a little bit."
Scepter: 『.』
fries:"."
French Fries: "There's actually a newcomer?!"
Zoe raised her head from the table suddenly, but her movement was so big that it hit the novel that had just been placed aside, so she lowered her head again, covering her hands.
"It hurts so much, it hurts so much!"
French Fries: "Uh, are you okay?"
French Fries: "I'm sorry I can't help you share your pain, but maybe it would be better to talk about it?"
French Fries: "Let me introduce myself. I'm French Fries. Here is a link. We don't know the exact principle, but we are just using it. Besides me, there are Ms. Scepter, Mr. Captain, and Sister Gwen. Except for Gwen, everyone else uses a code name. You can also give yourself a code name."
French Fries: "By the way, Gwen, do you want to come up with a code name too?"
Zoe rubbed her slightly red and swollen forehead, her heart filled with shock.
Chain, link? What on earth is this? Is it dangerous? Will I be caught by the opponent along the link? Calm down, Zoe, calm down, use your brain and think of a solution!
Zoe was a little flustered. She looked around subconsciously and soon saw the novel on the table.
The book had just hit her forehead and was now opened, revealing its contents.
Zoe's eyes suddenly lit up. Her current situation seemed like a plot in a novel.
The protagonist has accomplished nothing and is a waste, but then he suddenly gets a golden finger and things get out of control from then on. Oh no, the sense of substitution comes.
Zoe took a few deep breaths and tried to suppress her chaotic thoughts. She encouraged herself and felt that she had a great advantage. Her long-term reading of novels made her very familiar with this situation. What would the protagonist in the novel do?
Well, first of all, you have to be calm, so that others will subconsciously think that you are powerful, and even fill in a lot of details in their minds. You just need to slowly strengthen this process.
Come on! Zoe, you can do it!
Zoe: "Link? That's interesting. I'll give myself a code name. You can call me the writer."
French Fries: "Writer? That's amazing. You must have published many books and written many stories, right?"
Writer: "Ah? Well, no, I haven't. I've only written a little bit, but not really!"
Writer: "Well, it's just a trivial work."
French Fries: "Wow, that's really amazing!"
captain:"."
Scepter: 『.』
Zoe felt her face getting hot and she subconsciously tapped the ground with her toes. She had never written a complete story, let alone a book. She only had experience in writing promotional materials for the lord.
But in order to maintain her calm and strong personality, she could only accept it despite the shame. She didn't expect it to be so difficult and she almost succumbed to shame.
But fortunately, she successfully deceived the other people in the link. It really worked! She has a wealth of experience (from novels), and she must be able to use this golden finger like a duck in water! Now that I think about it, maybe my talent is actually in this aspect. Although I am a bit useless in other aspects, I can play it perfectly here. I can apply the plot I saw in the novel so quickly and succeed at once.
I'm a total genius.
Zoe thought secretly.
It really works!
Hughes breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the person who was pulled in was Zoe instead of the banshee, she successfully diverted the attention of the other people and the matter was successfully covered up.
The next step is to guide Zoe to inquire about things in the outside world. This is not difficult, and Zeus has already thought of a solution.
Wasn't he planning to send a ship to Blood Harbor to contact the prince? Zoe was the leader.
Next, she knew that she would be leading the team out, and she would definitely have to take the initiative to ask a few people about the situation outside. Xius just needed to listen from the side. It was a perfect solution!
At the same time, she would also pass on some information in exchange. All she knew was Castel's current situation, so Ken and Jeremiah could rush back after knowing it.
Hughes didn't even have to send anyone to look for it.
I'm a total genius.
Hughes thought to himself.
