Chapter 420 New Leader
What he didn't expect was that Castel had actually been missing for a long time.
Although it has come out now, the North is in chaos, and the speed at which information spreads in this world is really slow.
The rebellion in Blood Harbor had just ended and the news had not yet reached him. If he stayed in the town for a few more days, he would be able to hear some news.
Unfortunately, after his investigation yielded no results, he decided to look for Nora first to ask. The resistance camp was in the wilderness, and he missed the news about Castel as he searched along the way.
As a result, the Nora in front of him was somewhat surprising to him.
The Undertaker of the Silent Temple is indeed difficult to kill. But no one can survive without a head, right? Wait, is she really still alive? Isaac calmly activated the Self-binding of the Nymph and looked at her for a while, but he was a little confused in his heart.
It seemed alive, but also like not. He could feel the vitality of Nora, but it seemed that there was not much in this body, so little that it could not support the existence of a person.
Isn't this too weird? But since we can communicate, I might as well ask directly.
"Hey Nora, do you remember me?"
The two had not had much interaction before, they had only met a few times, and it was not even possible to say that they knew each other.
Nora didn't move.
"Can you speak?"
Nora didn't move.
"Were you injured in battle?"
Nora didn't move.
Isaac had a bad suspicion in his heart, considering that there was not much vitality left in Nora's body. Isaac circled around Nora a few times. Although it was hard to tell, she was facing him and her body remained somewhat alert.
".If you understand what I mean, just raise your hand."
Nora didn't move.
Isaac's heart sank. It seemed that his understanding was correct. The Undertaker could not survive without her head. Although he didn't know why her body could still move, she was indeed dead.
The fight just now made quite a noise, and soon people gathered around. They looked at this side with some doubt. There were some traces of fighting on the ground, but the flail in Nora's hand was hanging, and it didn't look like she was an enemy of this man.
Isaac basically understood the situation here. He no longer hesitated, raised the letter in his hand high, and said loudly to all directions:
"I am here at the behest of Lord Castel, the Border Count Hughes of the Storm Ocean. You should have heard from Lady Nora that the Count promised to provide you with shelter, and I am here to help!"
After saying this, he raised the letter in his hand and said, "This is the Earl's handwritten letter!"
Originally, he was planning to deliver the letter directly to Nora, but now that Nora had become like this, he had no choice but to make the letter public.
The next step is to see if there is a reliable leader among this group of people. If there is, we will form an alliance with him. If not, we will recruit him.
Isaac thought so, but soon he raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Nora, who had been unresponsive until then, suddenly walked towards him.
Thinking about it carefully, it was the mention of Castel and Zeus' names that made her stop fighting.
Isaac narrowed his eyes and did not move. Nora walked over step by step, stretched out her hand towards the letter in his hand, and then -
Can't reach.
Isaac held the letter higher. Nora was short to begin with, and now that she had lost her head, she was even shorter. Although this did not affect her ability to reach the letter, it was still a little short.
Well, probably more than a little.
Isaac hesitated for a moment. He was a little worried that the headless Nora would ruin the letter. After all, in his opinion, this body seemed to have only instincts left. But in the end, he put down his hand and handed over the letter.
Nora took the letter and held it with her white metal gauntlet. She did not check it, but placed the letter on her flat breastplate, over her heart.
Isaac blinked. What could he feel? It was just ordinary letter paper, without any trace of the extraordinary.
But Nora seemed to have really sensed something. She handed the letter back and knocked on the heavy plate armor on her chest with her fist.
This was a courtesy among Northern warriors, a sign of approval, and Isaac returned the salute.
The atmosphere in the crowd suddenly relaxed. The vigilance in the eyes of these people when they looked at him dissipated a lot, and instead they were filled with curiosity and started talking.
"Lady Nora recognized him!"
"Are you from Castel? Does Castel really exist?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Castel exists naturally. It is our new home!"
"No, no, I'm just a little worried and a little bit unbelieving."
"Are you taking us out of here? Please take us away!"
Isaac smiled but did not answer. Instead, he quietly watched the reactions of the people around him.
A female voice rang out: "Quiet! Stop gathering here and go back to your work."
The crowd dispersed, and from time to time someone in the distance would secretly look over here with a curious look, but they all went about their own business.
Nora was still standing there, but there was another girl beside her.
The girl had a stern face, a tall figure, and long pure white hair tied behind her back. She had the typical appearance of a White Crow Principality citizen.
She nodded at Isaac, "Please follow me."
It can be seen that this woman has quite some prestige in the camp. Just now, both the soldiers and children left obediently without any fear on their faces.
Isaac nodded secretly in his heart. It was a good thing to have a leader who could command the support of the people. It would also make it much easier to deal with the resistance army.
The girl found a room and sat down, folding her arms and waiting for Isaac to speak.
As Ixa handed over the handwritten letter from Hughes, he said, "I am the leader of the Ash Alliance, Isaac. Although I am indeed from Castel, I have lost contact with them for a long time. I came to you mainly to ask if we can get in touch with Castel."
"Unfortunately, we couldn't get in touch with him."
After being besieged, Nora tried to seek help from outside more than once, not only from Castel, but also from the Temple of Silence, but to no avail.
At first, these refugees could still stay near the town and get some information. Later, they were driven back and forth by the soldiers of several lords and were almost cut off from the outside world, and had no idea about Castel's current situation.
"I only heard that something terrible happened in the Storm Ocean, but the details are vague. We are far away from the sea, so we don't know anything more."
Isaac also heard about this.
It seems that a few months ago, all kinds of strange phenomena appeared in the world. Some said that meteorites fell to the ground, some said that the ocean dried up, and it was hard to tell what was true and what was false.
