Chapter 319 She Never Entered the Mansion
"Josh?" The prince frowned and thought for a while, then looked at Galahad: "Do you have any impression?"
"Neither do I, Your Highness William, but the refugees from the North are easy to identify, and we can also look through the records of the port at that time." After saying that, Galahad turned to look at Zoe: "What was the name of the ship the refugees were on?"
"The Black Pearl."
"I will send someone to check the recent records of ships entering and leaving. Once there is any news, I will inform you. Do you want to stay in Blood Harbor for a while longer?"
Zoe hesitated for a moment, glanced at Erwin, and said, "Please allow us to discuss this."
"Okay, I'll send you the results of the investigation later, Galahad."
Galahad sent Caster's men back to the mansion, and the Skitarians who had followed Connor were also released one after another.
Connor and his companions were not tortured, but received a lot of preferential treatment - of course, this might be because he stated his origin from the Dukedom of Cohen right from the start.
As for their next itinerary, Zoe actually preferred to return to Castel first, but Erwin's words made her change her mind.
"Why doesn't the prince know about the refugees coming from the North?"
Erwin rubbed his chin and suddenly asked this question.
“You mean, he deliberately concealed the matter from Josh and others?”
"No, it's unlikely." Erwin frowned. "Why would he hide it? Castel has already shown his worth. What the prince wants to do most at this moment is to have a good relationship with the Earl. How can a Joshi get in the way?"
"Well, maybe he persecuted Josh and is afraid that we will know?"
"He also detained Mr. Connor, but now he's releasing him anyway? Even if there really was a conflict, it can now be dismissed as a misunderstanding. I think the more likely scenario is that he really didn't know about this group of refugees."
Connor listened for a while and interrupted: "This shouldn't be the case. As the lord of this place, he should know about a whole ship of refugees from the North, unless..."
"Unless what?"
"Unless these refugees are deliberately hiding themselves. I have been under house arrest by the prince and know nothing about the current situation in Blood Harbor. Is there anything happening here that needs to be deliberately hidden?"
Erwin and Zoe looked at each other and nodded in unison.
Blood Harbor is not peaceful. It has been in chaos since the prince left, and the refugees really came here around that time.
"They may have run into trouble and need to hide themselves. With so many people, they may have been targeted by cultists. But I find it strange. Even if they were targeted by cultists, why didn't they ask for help after we arrived?" Erwin said slowly.
"Help." Zoe's eyes lit up, as if she had thought of something: "I remember Josh sent you a message?"
"Yes, he reminded me to be careful of the prince, and there has been no contact since then."
Zoe scratched her head in annoyance, and suddenly clapped her hands: "Don't we have a mother-in-law? Can we directly investigate the situation at Blood Harbor?"
After saying that, she turned and looked at her mother-in-law, her eyes full of expectation.
As the extraordinary beings of the Fire Moth, the nymphs are extremely good at perception and concealment. This information has been basically made public during the deep sea war.
After all, in order to deal with the monsters that kept pouring out, Caster had almost squeezed out all of his potential. Both the Banshee and the Fire Moth had fought side by side with the islanders in Caster.
Several people looked at the mother-in-law.
The mother-in-law, who had been sitting on the sofa and listening quietly, smiled and said, "You only remembered me when you were in trouble? It's no use gathering intelligence at the last minute. You have to be prepared in advance."
Zoe was a little embarrassed: "Ah, I, I just thought of this, could you please check it out?"
"Don't worry, I haven't been sitting around in this room these days..."
As soon as she finished her words, she fell down as light as a piece of paper. Then the door opened and a hooded figure appeared at the door. She put down her hood, revealing the kind face of a mother-in-law.
"——Occasionally I go out for a walk."
"Oh, Grandma! You, you just went out!?"
The mother-in-law shook her head and said, "I have never been to this mansion before. I am the only extraordinary person in the team. If the prince does something bad to you, I will be wiped out if I am here too."
Zoe's face was filled with shock. She looked at Erwin and found that he was also very surprised.
She is truly worthy of being the extraordinary Fire Moth. Stealth and caution are almost engraved into her soul. Even they didn't realize that grandma had been hiding in the Blood Harbor.
"You, you have been in Blood Harbor?"
"That's about right. I mainly wander around. Many places in Blood Harbor are quite dangerous. Even though I'm a transcendent, it's not easy for me to set foot there directly."
"Ah" Zoe's eyes widened "Is it, is it a cultist?"
My mother-in-law nodded.
Zoe had long heard about the rampant cultists in Blood Harbor, but to her it was just a somewhat empty warning. With the protection sent by the prince, the lord, the cultists would naturally not cause trouble for them. They had no idea what Blood Harbor was like.
Cultist Zoe looked back at the Crusaders in the room, and suddenly felt a little unsure. They had advanced bolt-action rifles, but could the bullets fight against supernatural powers?
The "Mother-in-law" on the sofa is still there. Several people now know that it is just a fake, but it has been talking and interacting with everyone for several days, and no one has ever doubted its authenticity.
The mother-in-law is their teammate, so now the fake body is just spread on the sofa, but what if she is an enemy? What if she holds a weapon and wants to kill a few people? What kind of weird methods will the cultists have?
Zoe swallowed hard.
Even Erwin loosened his collar uncomfortably.
Instead, it was the mother-in-law who looked at them with amusement.
"Why, are you scared already?"
"You just went to meet the prince, right? He was interested in your weapons, wasn't he? He asked a lot about bolt-action rifles, right?"
Zoe nodded. Although the prince did not ask directly, he learned a lot of details indirectly. He was very interested in Castel and this advanced gun.
"He is interested in your guns. Is he interested in the extraordinary people?"
Zoe was stunned for a moment and shook her head.
The prince did not ask any questions about the supernatural. Even though he knew that there were monsters attacking from the sea, he just briefly learned about it.
Erwin had a thoughtful look on his face.
