Chapter 305: He Comes with Bad Intentions
"The specific situation on Zoe's side is published in the newspaper every day. I haven't received any news yet, but it should be soon."
The newspaper company is ready. Printing newspapers is not a high-tech thing. Even Rhine has already published newspapers, but the printing quality is average.
In addition to the news from Zoe, Hughes also plans to add some important things on the island to the newspaper to help islanders understand the policies.
Considering that these could not fill up the newspaper pages, Xiu Si planned to write some interesting popular science knowledge, such as short stories about Pan Jinlian x Ximen Qing x gravity.
Anyway, according to the test he conducted in his previous life, people still like to watch these things.
In this world where cognitive interference is so dangerous, it is always useful for people to learn more knowledge, and we may even need to keep learning throughout our lives. Those who stubbornly refuse to accept new things are themselves a dangerous source of pollution.
"Oh, there's one more thing." Xius suddenly slapped his forehead, stood up, walked around the desk, and came to Monica and Gaia.
Monica was still fast asleep.
Xius patted her and shook her for a while, but Monica just murmured a few words but did not wake up.
"Do all banshees sleep so soundly?"
Xius muttered and began to recall Nini's method. After a while, Monica suddenly opened her eyes, sat up abruptly, and looked around in confusion.
"Who pulled my tail?"
"Hey, Monica, I have something to tell you." Hughes took a few steps back. "Come to the completion ceremony tomorrow?"
"Completion ceremony? Completion of what?"
"This huge furnace beneath our feet is about to undergo a completion ceremony."
Ken next to him opened his eyes wide and said in surprise: "When we just came up, we saw that the furnace was lit, why is it not finished yet?"
Xius turned around awkwardly: "Well, something unexpected happened. We wanted to wait until the work was completed before igniting the furnace, but the furnace was not happy."
“.”
“.”
The room fell into silence.
"In short, although the furnace burned on its own, the peripheral work was not completely completed. Only the furnace part was completed. It was not even completed at all. When the furnace was ignited, the upper cover of the furnace was not fixed yet, and the furnace burned it into one piece."
"Ah? How do we maintain it later?" Ken asked subconsciously.
"Well, let's discuss this with the furnace when the time comes."
“.”
Xiu Si spread his hands and said, "This is the situation. If I had any solution, I would have no other solution. The lighting ceremony will be held tomorrow morning. If you are free, you can come and see it, especially you."
Xiu Si looked at Monica and said, "You haven't visited the furnace since you woke up, have you? After all, it was summoned using the sea god soul in your body. Perhaps this machine soul will be very close to you."
Monica's eyes lit up: "Really?"
Of course not, the machine spirits you summoned before didn't recognize you, no matter whether it was A Nuo or others, none of them paid any attention to you, Xiu Si thought to himself.
"It's very likely." Xius said seriously.
Monica wagged her tail happily.
On the other side, Ken and Jeremiah looked at each other. They had been away for so long, and this was a good opportunity to integrate into Castel.
Moreover, the two of them were somewhat interested in machinery. Such a huge furnace was simply an industrial miracle.
Jeremiah thought further. He heard that this furnace burned polluting fuel and that the newly built furnace also burned polluting fuel. The steam engine knowledge Ken taught him all used coal or wood as fuel.
You know, his Black Pearl may also be equipped with a steam engine in the future, so he has to learn more about it. He can't just add an outdated machine. But that is his favorite Black Pearl, so he has to have the best one!
"Miss Zoe, that's the Blood Harbor over there." A Crusader said, pointing to the sea not far away.
"That's it, right?" Zoe's face showed some confusion and nervousness. She hadn't entered the strange link in the past two days and didn't know what was happening outside.
But think about it, the other people in the link are not in Blood Harbor. Even if we connect again, we won't be able to get more information.
She was just too anxious.
Zoe patted her face and encouraged herself.
"Everything will be fine, don't think too much"
"Don't worry, Zoe. I will help you if you are in trouble." Ash's voice came from the sea. Zoe lay on the side of the boat. The banshee with long silver-white hair in the sea leaned out of the water. "If you encounter difficulties, just call me. I am always here."
Her eyes passed from Zoe and fell on a slightly hunched figure next to her.
Zoe also quickly turned her head: "Mother-in-law, thank you for your help."
That was the extraordinary being from the Fire Moth, sent by Zeus to follow Zoe.
Her original name was Bazena, but everyone preferred to call her Grandma. Zoe had never had much contact with her before, but she only heard that she was a very kind person.
My mother-in-law smiled but didn't say anything. She turned her head and looked at the Blood Harbor not far away with a hint of nostalgia in her eyes. The sea breeze blew up the white hair on her temples.
Suddenly, Ash frowned: "A ship is coming."
With a splash, she dived into the sea. Zoe looked back hastily and saw a boat approaching from the distance.
"Is it the ship from Blood Harbor?"
"It's possible, boys, set up Gatling first."
Zoe turned around and saw that it was Erwin, the captain of the Skitarii team.
Erwin joined during the first conscription, when the Imperial Church of Truth had not yet been established. He later performed well in the Deep Sea War and is now Alexi's deputy. This time he brought the Crusader Army with him, also with the intention of providing support.
Hughes let Zoe lead the team only because she could join the link, and he didn't really intend to throw everything to this little maid.
Both Mother-in-law and Erwin are experienced people, and Ash in the sea is the strongest among the banshees. Zeus still has high expectations for this trip.
"Hey, Mr. Erwin, there's no need to be so nervous, maybe they just want to check out the situation?"
Erwin squinted his eyes and looked at the ship in the distance, then shook his head. "How could you be targeted just because you approached the port? Blood Harbor is a big port. Look at how many ships are parked there now?"
Zoe was stunned when she heard this, and looked carefully at the port in the distance with a confused expression: "It seems that most of them are empty."
"I'm an islander from Castel. I've been to Blood Harbor several times before. Every time, it was packed with ships. Why are there only a few now?"
Erwin shook his head. "Those greedy merchants would not give up their business. Even the pirates couldn't stop them. But now they are nowhere to be seen."
