Chapter 394 Soul Energy
It turns out that no one is immune to the corruption of money - not even the dead.
Chloe's desire for money has transcended life and death. Perhaps if she dies a few more times in the future she can still achieve the achievement of "no regrets even if she dies nine times".
At least now, Chloe happily continued to work overtime after Hughes's persuasion.
And in high spirits.
Well, to be more precise, it should be "strong soul energy".
Hughes has already started considering whether to let her guard the vault in the future, so that he might even be able to save overtime pay.
When Zeus was about to get off the witch who had hung him up, he suddenly had an idea and asked Chloe one last question: [How is my soul energy?]
"You have no soul energy."
Hughes' eyes widened.
"Your body is empty, like a shell."
"Hey, I've discovered your biggest secret, right? Tell me, what kind of monster are you? An Outer God that has taken over a body? An Ancient One that has survived to this day? A god that has escaped the mass extinction? Hey, don't leave."
Xiusi ignored her and slid down the rope, and a word floated over.
"You think too much. I stayed up late at work yesterday and I don't have energy this morning."
After Hughes left, the handwriting in the diary gradually faded and disappeared, as if nothing had happened.
Chloe, the chief of the Fire Moths, the leader of the most dangerous cult on the continent, has led the sect to fight against the heresy of the Candlelight Society in their base camp for many years. Her head can easily be exchanged for the wealth of an entire diocese in the Vatican.
She died for Castel, sacrificing her life without hesitation.
There is a strange being inside the lord's body, it is definitely not a human being or any known evil god.
But so what? She knew it all, but she didn't care.
This is her home, and that's enough.
After Hughes left, Chloe became quiet and began to wonder whether she could get overtime pay.
Today is another chaotic day. Nini and the Banshee Inspection Team have been running all over the island. When Zeus and the prince were touring around, they would run into them from time to time.
"Honestly, I never expected it to be like this before I came here." The prince sighed.
"What did you expect it to be? A steel giant secretly guarding the island? A powerful warrior honing his martial arts skills all day long?"
"It's about the same. Anyway, it doesn't have such a lively atmosphere."
"In fact, what you think is not much different. Banshees are not that playful. They are just too energetic. After all, they are extraordinary creatures. They are very fast in thinking and multi-threaded work."
"Oh, I'd like to hear more about it."
"For example, Nini had to give a lecture some time ago. She was giving the lecture with her mouth, writing with her hands, casting a steam engine with her hands, and holding a teaching model with her hands to explain."
In fact, they were still in a mind connection, listening to Zeus's online class while chatting in the group. It seemed as if these banshees had six brains, and the CPU was never fully occupied.
"You mean"
"Writing these messy manuscripts does not affect her from doing other things at all. Even though she is always playing around here, she can produce some research results every once in a while. Although sometimes those research results cause more damage."
The prince was silent for a moment, looking at a group of banshees running past him laughing. Who would have thought that these extraordinary creatures were also using their brains to learn and research at the same time?
“It’s really enviable.”
"Indeed, there is always a lot to do and it is never done."
The prince sighed for a while, then his face became serious: "Thank you for your hospitality, Count Hughes. I have gained more from these few days of visits than I have in the past few years. Now I understand the strength of Castel - it is not just industrial, it is simply an ideal country of civilization."
Hughes raised an eyebrow.
"Such a high evaluation? It really surprised me."
"No matter how high the evaluation is, it's fine. As you said, bullets will run out, parts will wear out, and even the most miraculous creations will eventually die. But concepts, ideas, knowledge and technology will only become sharper with the sharpening of time."
Hughes was really a little surprised. He thought the prince would be shocked by Castel's creations, but he saw the essence of industry through the surface, which made Hughes appreciate it to some extent.
——The deeper the prince looked, the more he could feel Castel's power, just like an iceberg buried under the water. The deeper he went, the more Castel's giant body would appear.
At this moment, the prince had completely given up the idea of confronting Castel. Not to mention confronting him, even understanding how powerful he was was so difficult. Who knew if the iceberg he saw was all there was.
"So you're ready to leave?"
"Yes, I have too many ideas that I want to implement. By the way, since you have occupied the Martha Islands, the entire Storm Ocean is in your pocket."
The prince looked at Zeus and felt secretly moved.
When she was the queen, she personally issued the title decree for the Border Earl of Xius.
At that time, the territory she drew on the map was already exaggerated. Half of the Storm Ocean was given to him - after all, it was just a map to open up new territory, so she could draw it at will.
But even in her wildest fantasies, she had never imagined that this border earl would take over the entire Storm Ocean.
If we only talk about land area, Castel is larger than the Empire, after all, it covers an entire ocean.
Of course, given Castel's poor shipbuilding capabilities, it is still a fantasy to cover the entire ocean, but there are no rivals in this sea area.
Why does it feel like supporting the Border Earl to fight the Pirate King has created an even more terrifying monster?
Forget it, her empire is gone, why bother thinking about these things?
"I originally wanted to form a merchant fleet, and now I want to ask for your opinion." The prince looked over here with sharp eyes.
The prince had made up his mind. Even though Castel only had a few ships, he would abandon the plan immediately if Hughes disagreed.
Given Castell's industrial capacity, once the design is mature, it is estimated that the speed of shipbuilding will be as fast as making dumplings.
The prince was in enough trouble on land now, so there was no need to provoke Castel at sea. Count Hughes' friendship was extremely important to Blood Harbor now.
However, Zeus's reaction was somewhat beyond the prince's expectations.
"I support it, of course I support it!" Hughes answered without hesitation, "Castel does not charge any tariffs on any goods in Blood Harbor. If you encounter trouble on the route I have designated, you can ask me for help. There are also rewards for opening up new markets!"
The prince was stunned when he heard this condition.
