Chapter 567: Remember to Return to Blood Harbor to Pay the Mortgage
After a long time, a familiar voice came from the link.
"You can take Bazel away now. His life style has completely changed. As I said before, he should be able to shine in Castel."
"Gwen, Bazel's matter is easy to deal with. Castel doesn't lack another star furnace. I want to know how you are doing now?"
"I still have some troubles. The knowledge in the mist is too polluted. I need to absorb it slowly. After taking Bazel away, don't bother me for a short time. I will contact you when I succeed."
"Still can't you tell me the reason?"
"It's not that I don't want to tell you, but I don't know either. I said before that knowledge and pollution will be gradually obtained in the white disaster. I have obtained a lot of scattered knowledge fragments in the fog, and now I am slowly piecing them together into the truth. I don't know how long it will take, but I have a hunch that it is not far away. Maybe in a few weeks, you will be able to get the truth from me."
"Okay, then can you still return to Castel?"
The fog rolled, Gwen was silent for a long time, and then she said sullenly: "You have already got what you want, why bother about a little girl at a fried fish stall? If we are talking about Gwen, the Gwen outside would be better, right? She saved countless lives of resistance soldiers in the North, but I may not even be able to save my own life."
"Bettys has used up all her accumulated points recently. She helps with classes in her spare time and has accumulated a lot of points little by little. Did you know that?"
"Varied"
"She used these points to apply for a shop along the street. It's made of reinforced concrete. Even if the skeletons hit the blood port, it won't collapse. The property rights are 100 years and can be repaid in 70 years. You need to pay points every month. She wrote your and Yami's names on the property certificate. You have to come back to pay me next month. Do you understand?"
『.』
"If you don't want to be overdue, come back and work for me soon. Castel has your friends, your shop, and your 840-month mortgage. You can't escape."
".good"
Zeus' eyes gradually became empty, the soul inside had returned, and only an empty shell was left here.
The fog rolled, and a sharp bone claw suddenly stepped on the ice in front of Xius.
The lower half of the worker Hughes' body was frozen in the ice. No matter how hard he tried, he could not leave. Here was another vast sea full of floating ice. Hughes had never seen any living creature here.
But at this moment, the white bones suddenly appeared in front of him.
Then, the fog suddenly thinned a little, and a white bone skull as tall as a mountain appeared vaguely next to him.
The eye sockets of that skull were several times larger than the body of the worker Zeus. It was hard to imagine what kind of huge body was in the fog.
It lowered its head and stared at Xiu Si for a long time, then its claws moved, and a white line that was so thin that it was almost invisible compared to its body was tied to its body.
The other end was connected to the worker Hughes' chest, and was divided into several sections, extending far into the distance along the sea surface.
That is the link from Hughes and also His anchor.
The sound of bones rubbing against each other was heard, as if countless bones were singing a hymn together, forming a low and hoarse voice.
"Castell"
"You're going to the North? Now?" Nini was stunned when she heard that, then her eyes widened. "Then what should we do? Should we go with you? If you go, all the banshees will start to lose vitality!"
"That's why I came to tell you that now that Alexi has gone to the North to take charge of affairs, you will be in charge of the Banshee side. If there is any trouble, remember to deal with it. I will be back soon."
"how long?"
"If it's fast, it'll be tonight. If it's slow, it'll be a day or two."
"Step forward." Nini glanced at Ash. "She's with you?"
"Yes, tell me if you need anything, the train is leaving soon and I have to go now."
"Don't die in the North."
After Ash threw Nini out of the window, Hughes took the train and left Blood Harbor. This trip was quite sudden and only a few people knew his purpose.
The train clanged along the rails, and a few hours later, Hughes arrived at the familiar wasteland. Alexi and Gwen were standing at the station to greet him. They had just received the news and came here. Hughes didn't even say hello, but came directly by train. If the train hadn't informed them with the whistle, they probably wouldn't have known when Hughes knocked on their office door.
"How is it? Is there anything unusual?"
"Yes." Alexei looked at his lord deeply. "We just got important news. It seems that some strange things were thrown out of the fog. They have been controlled by the banshee who came to take over. We are preparing to send the information back."
The person who was just thrown out of the fog was naturally Count Basil.
Hughes soon saw him in the open space in front of the fortress.
Two fully armed banshees were pressing a several-meter-tall skeleton to the ground.
Its body was very twisted, as if a normal human body had been forcibly stretched and enlarged.
However, the stretching method is very simple and crude, just like a low-quality doctor performing surgery by playing with building blocks, or like a practice work done by a clumsy carpenter.
The bones in his body were broken, and other bones were forced into the broken parts, and they were barely pieced together into a human shape.
Looking from a distance, it looks like human bones but also seems a little weird. The weird and twisted feeling is really chilling.
Fortunately, the seven or eight Gatling guns pointed at its head gave people a sense of security.
Gun muzzles were also extended from the fortress in the distance. Several companies of expeditionary forces were aiming their weapons in this direction. Not to mention a single skeleton giant, even if a group of them came, they could fight back and forth.
"What's going on?"
Hughes asked the nearby expeditionary force.
"My Lord, I am the sentry on duty today, responsible for monitoring the white fog. Earlier this white-bone giant was suddenly thrown out of the fog, and the location was in front of the two banshees on duty."
"Yes, today Una and I were on duty. We were playing cards when Bazel was thrown out."
Hughes looked up and saw Finnel using six hands to make a card-playing gesture.
"How do you know he's from Bazel? Did it say so itself?"
The bone giant snorted coldly, and immediately a large number of Gatling guns came up and pressed it down again.
"She can really talk." Xius sighed, and when he looked up, he found that Finnel's expression was a little strange.
"When this is thrown out, it is Bazel."
