Chapter 419 No wonder the hypnosis failed
Grisha is just an ordinary person, and a child who is most easily fooled. His hypnosis has the effect of interfering with cognition. Even if there are some mistakes, he should be able to fool them. Is there any huge loophole?
But the scene just now was extremely simple, with just soap, fried fish, and Nora. What could have gone wrong? Isaac was sent by Hughes to the North to collect intelligence, so he was very careful and knew the general reason after a little thought.
"It's Nora. Something happened here. Is Nora not in the camp?"
He muttered to himself, and when he saw Grisha still glaring at him, he shook his head again.
"It seems that I guessed wrong. Nora was seriously injured and unable to get up?"
"Nora won't come out to patrol?"
"Nora's accent is wrong?"
After guessing several times, Isaac couldn't see any clues from Grisha's face, so he simply stopped trying. He patted the snow off his body, picked up the cake on the ground and put it back in his chest.
Perhaps it was just bad luck. Extraordinary people on the investigator path would always encounter some accidents occasionally. Even Isaac, who was on the dual path, was not immune to it.
"I am indeed from Castel, but I am not here on the orders of the Lord. I just heard that Ms. Nora is still organizing resistance, so I wanted to make contact with her."
He explained to Grisha, then, regardless of whether the boy believed him or not, he hung him back on the tree and continued walking deeper into the woods.
The investigator is good at tracking. He just needs to make sure that Grisha is a member of the Resistance and follow the traces he left.
In fact, Isaac's goal had been achieved when the boy asked him for soap, and the subsequent actions were just tests.
Now it seems that the Resistance is worth cooperating with.
First of all, there are children like Grisha in the resistance army, which shows that order has not collapsed and that they have the ability and room to protect the weak.
Secondly, Grisha had the will to resist. He neither ran away in fear nor waited for death numbly. This is a very important thing. If a team loses its spirit, everything else is empty talk.
As for the others, they are actually minor issues.
Although he only saw a little boy, Isaac had already grasped a lot of information. Soon, he bypassed the resistance checkpoints and arrived at the camp.
After casually telling a few people about his intentions, Isaac stood there and watched the chaos in the camp with cold eyes.
First, several men surrounded him with nervous looks on their faces. They were skeptical about what Isaac said, so they sent a few people to report it, and the rest of them stared at him.
These men held weapons in their hands, but were not wearing armor - and the weapons they held were relatively simple.
Isaac looked at their faces carefully - they looked energetic, but their complexions were average and their bodies were a little thin.
It seems that their situation is not very good, but with Nora's support, they should be able to hold on.
Soon, several teams of fully armed warriors came over. The weapons in their hands were very messy, but at least most of them had some tattered armor.
It should have a certain fighting capacity.
Children and women were quickly evacuated. There was some chaos in the camp, but it was generally under control - and the organization was good.
Isaac nodded in his heart. This resistance army did have some potential, and it was worth the trip for him.
The next step is to wait for Nora to come, contact her, discuss cooperation, and find out about the situation here. The Ash Alliance still doesn't know much about the news here.
But soon, Isaac frowned. He found that these people discussed for a while and nominated a few people to communicate with him, but Nora did not show up.
"Isn't Nora here?"
The people on the opposite side didn't say anything, but they had strange looks on their faces.
Why is this reaction so strange? Isaac suddenly had all kinds of guesses in his mind. There was no extra expression on his face, but his expression seemed a little dull.
In the shadows of the trees and the snow, the figure of a moth flashed silently.
Nora was wearing heavy armor and sitting by the campfire.
After she came back, she never communicated with anyone - without her head, she naturally couldn't speak, and the people from the resistance army didn't dare to come forward to ask questions.
She just sits here every day, but as long as she is there, the resistance will not collapse.
At this moment, a figure slowly emerged from the air beside her.
The corners of Isaac's eyes twitched. This man who had always kept a low profile finally couldn't control his expression. He was silent for a while and asked tentatively, "Nora?"
Nora stood up slowly and turned to him.
Only then did Isaac confirm that she was indeed headless. Damn, no wonder the boy saw through his illusion directly!
The next moment, Nora raised the flail high and swung it fiercely!
Isaac stepped aside and the incense burner passed in front of him, and the air flow it created stirred up the wind and snow.
Hiss, that's quite a force. The Undertaker is an extraordinary person who is extremely good at frontal combat, and his ability to withstand blows is perfect. Moreover, Nora is wearing heavy armor. Isaac tried a few times and found it difficult to subdue her quickly.
So he took out a letter from his pocket and said loudly: "Nora, this is a letter from Count Hughes to you!"
The flail stopped in mid-air, and the hammer head swayed due to inertia and fell to her side.
It seemed that they could still communicate, and Isaac breathed a sigh of relief.
He could have high hopes for this contact.
The Alliance of Ashes originally came to the North to develop its power and wanted to follow the path of the Empire. However, just when things started to get better, the Queen was assassinated, and the three Grand Dukes of the North rebelled. In order to preserve his manpower, Isaac chose to evacuate westward with the Empire.
Then, unfortunately, they encountered rounds of religious purges in the empire.
After finally saving the organization and accumulating some strength, Isaac personally came to the North to contact Nora's resistance and ask about Castel.
Castel is located in the sea in the far east of the empire. It has lost contact since the independence of the Principality of Tis. Isaac tried to contact it through the Sea of ​​Unconsciousness, but to no avail.
Originally, the lord asked him to come to the north to develop, but by some strange combination of circumstances he ended up in Middle-earth where the empire was. He thought that the lord must have mistakenly believed that he was dead, and that he should have sent other people to the north.
As a result, he searched the North for a long time but found nothing, and there was no news about Castel. He only knew that the prince had formed an alliance with the four lords of the North. He had no choice but to look for Nora's resistance first.
If he can't find it, he may really have to cross the entire Principality of Tis to go to the beach in person.
Isaac was actually a little confused. With Castel's strength, if not everyone knew about it, at least there should be no news at all. How come the whole island seemed to have disappeared? (End of this chapter)
