Chapter 295 The Black Pearl is Found
They chatted for a while, then fell silent, each with their own thoughts.
Xius also cut off the link and chose to return.
The information Beatrice gave him made him feel more and more confused. What on earth was the Vatican doing? From the assassination of the prince to the Vatican's reaction to Tis' independence, anyone could see that they were playing a big game.
Is there anything worth splitting the empire to deal with? Is it just the conflict with the Queen?
The royal family is indeed in a period of rise, but the Holy See has been entrenched in the empire for a thousand years. Logically, they should have more means to deal with this tough queen, but the Holy See made such a choice.
As for the Principality of Tis, Zeus always felt that there was something wrong with the prince. His escape after the assassination was too smooth. Even with the secret help of the Holy See, could he escape back to Tis so easily and restore his country at the same time?
I hope Zoe's quest goes well.
Zoe sat up suddenly in bed, her face full of uncontrollable excitement.
She was the one who benefited the most from this connection. Thanks to her efforts, several people talked a lot about the situation in Blood Harbor.
The most important point is that there are cultists in Blood Harbor, and there are probably many extraordinary people - under the propaganda of the church, in her impression, cultists are bad and capable of fighting.
We must hurry and remind the Lord!
Zoe rushed out of the house and trotted all the way to Hughes' office. Just as she was about to knock on the door, she suddenly stopped.
What should she say? Just say that she suddenly got the information about Blood Harbor?
The Lord had already started building ships to get intelligence, and she got it out of nowhere? Who else could she suspect? Maybe she would be secretly captured like in the novels, taken to the dissection room for slices and research. I heard that Mr. Richard liked to dissect corpses. His hand reaching for the door stopped.
But Zoe stopped, but Hughes in the room did not. Almost the next moment, Hughes opened the door and showed a surprised expression when he saw Zoe: "Come in, have you been waiting for a long time?"
"Hmm?"
Xius pointed to the wooden sign hanging at the door and said, "I was a little tired, so I took a nap. You probably didn't want to disturb me, so you stood at the door waiting, right?"
".Yes, that's it!"
"Come in quickly."
Zoe walked into the room a little dazed. She hadn't figured out what to say yet.
"You must have something important to tell me. We're leaving tomorrow. Is it related to this trip?"
".Yes."
"What's wrong? Although the new ship was put together temporarily, it is still very strong and will not sink even in a storm. You should know that. Do you have any new ideas about the matter at Blood Harbor?"
"Yes, is that so?" Zoe was a little confused, and then she shuddered, "Yes, that's right, it's the Blood Harbor. I think this trip is, it's dangerous!"
"How could there be danger at Blood Harbor? You clearly have a lot of Skitarii going forward, and they are all carrying weapons. Could it be related to supernatural powers?"
Zoe nodded quickly, but suddenly felt something was wrong and froze there.
However, Xiu Si seemed not to notice and continued to stroke his chin: "But how could there be hostile extraordinary people in Blood Harbor? Oh, by the way, the sea has dried up recently, there should be many cultists who take the opportunity to cause chaos and spread twisted beliefs, right?"
Zoe's eyes widened.
"I see, Zoe, you are really attentive and can take such details into consideration. It is indeed the right decision to send you out this time!" Xius clapped his hands. "Don't worry, I will send two teams of banshees to pick you up, and there will also be extraordinary people accompanying you."
As he spoke, Xius opened the door and pushed Zoe out. "There's no time to lose. Go get ready. I'll give you the list of new members soon."
Bang.
The door closed behind him.
Zoe stood in front of the door with a confused look on her face, her mouth open stupidly.
Is that it?
Is it over? It seems so. I have reminded everyone I should have, and I have not been discovered. I have even been praised by the Lord.
So, then it went pretty smoothly?
Bang! The door opened again. Hughes turned over the wooden sign that said "Resting" at the door and looked at Zoe, who was still standing there with her mouth open, with some confusion: "Anything else?"
"No, it's fine."
The door closed again, and the wooden sign swung on the door. This time, the words on it read "Working, knock if you need anything."
Zoe scratched her head and walked away with a confused look on her face.
There is a very subtle, indescribable feeling filling my chest that I can't describe.
If Hughes were to describe it, it would be "the feeling of an NPC who has nothing to say because the dialogue keeps skipping."
All in all, everything went well.
Zoe just needs to follow the arrangements of fate, but Zeus has a lot to consider.
In fact, quite a lot of information was revealed in this link. Not to mention Blood Harbor, Beatrice also mentioned that she was "in trouble".
She is in the Rhine and a member of the Candlelight Society. Her troubles may come from the Vatican.
Is the Candlelight Society making any new moves?
This requires vigilance.
In addition, there is Ken and Jeremiah’s Black Pearl.
They completed their repairs and also inquired about the problems in the waters near Blood Harbor.
If Hughes guessed correctly, they should be preparing to visit Castel again.
Zoe knew what was happening in the sea area, but she was careful not to mention Castel's situation. She only said that the sea here had returned to normal.
Okay, now the question is where is the Black Pearl? The two links were only one day apart, and Ken had asked about Blood Harbor during the last link, which meant that he had considered going to Blood Harbor.
At that time, Ken mentioned that they would go north. Considering that they had said that they had gone to explore the Corridor of Despair before, the Black Pearl is most likely to be north of Blood Harbor now.
This also matches the approximate location of the worker's thread.
Later Ken was persuaded to leave, and today he said he had found a port to rest, so he must have found one nearby.
To the north, coming from the Corridor of Despair, it was not too far from Blood Harbor and was anchored within a day’s sail to the north.
This will give you an approximate range.
Hughes took out a nautical chart from the cabinet, gestured a little, and quickly circled a port.
"Finally I found you, Black Pearl." Hughes muttered. Ken and Jeremiah must know a lot of information about the outside world, which is particularly important at this point in time.
Then he opened the mind link that came with the symbiotic contract.
"Ash, send a banshee somewhere. I found where the Black Pearl is."
"Okay, where to?"
Xius picked up the map and looked at it carefully: "Riften City, go to the harbor there and look for them. They should have just docked yesterday."
