Chapter 573 Is he the named person?
"But your situation is obviously not the case. A person who is completely corrupted cannot maintain even a little bit of rationality and will directly fall into permanent madness. I guess this is related to the fact that you have signed too many symbiotic contracts, so I have no way to judge your exact situation."
Richard sighed and pushed up his monocle.
"Do you feel anything is wrong?"
“Not at all.”
"Then there shouldn't be any problem."
The room fell silent.
Looking at Richard's evasive eyes, Hughes felt helpless.
"Maybe the bones are related to pollution? You know, I have the ability to purify pollution."
"Yes! That must be the case!" Richard nodded quickly. "Then how can I help you write a report?"
"Go ahead."
Zeus didn't say much. He also knew that this statement was unreliable. If being able to purify pollution could block extraordinary attacks, then the Banshees should be invincible. They could also obtain some of Zeus's ability to purify pollution through the symbiotic contract.
But they have tried it countless times in the testing grounds, and this ability can basically do nothing to weaken the attacks of supernatural powers, if not better than nothing.
The lord blocked the attack.
Richard quickly suppressed the speculation in his heart that made him feel frightened and continued writing the report.
Blood Harbor, the prince's ducal residence.
After the upper area was destroyed, he did not waste energy rebuilding the Duke's Mansion, but simply cleaned it up and just lived there - according to him, Blood Harbor would be replaced with new houses in a short time, so there was no point in changing now.
Galahad was looking out of the window vigilantly, and only after confirming that there was no one there did he quickly pull the curtains shut.
Then he pulled the door and confirmed that it was locked before looking at the prince who was sitting in an armchair, deep in thought.
"Your Highness."
"Galahad, what do you think of this?"
"Honestly, I'm shocked. We all noticed that Bazel was not in good condition. I also noticed that the extraordinary people around Xius were all prepared. They took action as soon as the assassination happened. Even if I was standing next to him, I couldn't do better than Nini and the others."
"Go on."
"Your Highness, I don't know how to describe that attack. If I were the one doing the assassination, even if I had drawn my sword and stood in front of Count Hughes, my attack would have been blocked by the extraordinary person next to him. But that attack was too fast. I have never seen such a fast attack."
"Can extraordinary people from other paths do this?"
"Absolutely impossible. That is beyond the reaction limit of any extraordinary path. If it is a being like the Secret Keeper or the Pupa, perhaps they can do it, but you know that they cannot cross the taboo."
"That is to say, that was an attack that completely surpassed that of ordinary transcendents, but Zeus managed to block it."
"Yes."
Galahad swallowed.
The prince fell into deep thought again. After a long while, he slowly spoke: "Could it be the [Named Person]?"
"It's unlikely. Since the incident a thousand years ago, there will be no new [Named Person] in the world. You don't think that Zeus is an old guy who has lived for more than a thousand years, do you?"
"Hughes' words." The prince thought about what he had done, all kinds of magical creations, a whole set of system construction and methodology, factories, schools.
Successfully solved the Pirate King, destroyed the Sea God Church that had transformed into a monster, head-on killed the fully grown [Mother], and conquered the North across the entire Principality of Tis and a large area of wasteland.
"It's not impossible." The prince sighed.
"If he is indeed the Named One." Galahad said hesitantly.
"Every time the Named One appears, it brings disaster to the continent. Therefore, all churches will immediately eliminate the Named One and list it as a taboo. This is all I know. There is no more information in the Royal Library."
"Then should we?"
The prince did not answer. He turned around and took a gun from the decorative rack on the wall.
That was the one given to him by Hughes. Galahad fired it several times during the Blood Harbor Rebellion and then hung it on the wall as a decoration.
"Galahad, can you dodge a bullet?"
"It's difficult, Your Highness. I can only barely move the key parts away, or block it with my hands - the power of the bullet is not great for extraordinary people, but it is too fast."
"How does the speed of that bone cone compare to that of a bullet?"
"A little faster, but only to a certain extent."
"What about Gatling? You should have tried their heavy machine guns, right?"
"Well." Galahad hesitated. "If I had been prepared in advance, I might have been able to escape. But if I were on the battlefield and was being targeted by multiple Gatling guns, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to survive."
"If the assassin of Hughes was another [Named Person], this assassination must have been planned for a long time, and the attack that the other party could use was just a faster bullet, which was already the limit."
The prince patted the rifle on the table.
"Castel can produce many of these weapons in a day. They ship heavy Gatling guns to the North by the truckload. How many Gatling guns can a [Named Person] defeat?"
Galahad opened his mouth but made no reply.
"Just like Castel's strength lies in industry, not the Banshee, even if Zeus is the Named One. No, even if he is a god, it will not affect the overall situation. No matter how many secrets he has, they are not as important as knowledge and industry."
"and"
The prince smiled as he shifted into a more comfortable position in his chair.
"If [Named Person] is bringing disaster to the mainland in this way, then it seems not bad."
"Honestly, I am very interested in this. I think the world is lacking such disasters!"
Hughes was reviewing documents at his desk.
Next to him stood a fully armored banshee. The assassination in the Inquisition was too dangerous. If the attack had not been blocked by him inexplicably, it might have succeeded.
Therefore, his security level was raised several levels, and he would have to be guarded for a short period of time.
Zeus looked at the documents in his hand, and his eyes twitched suddenly. He glanced at the banshee next to him and said nothing.
After a while, he took a deep breath, placed the document on the table, and looked at the banshee next to him with a bad face.
"I'll say it one last time, I'm not a god, and I can hear you talking in the mind-linked group!"
“.”
"It's no use praying to me! I won't fulfill your wish! Besides, you wished to slack off, so today's night shift is yours, so stay here and work overtime!"
"No, I'm not an evil god either!"
