Chapter 587: Giant Beast in the Mist
The Temple of Bones was something that could sweep across the entire continent and bury everything in the white disaster, but when it came to Basel, it was just a bunch of living targets that could be resurrected infinitely. It was really a bit of a stretch.
But if you consider that he was also tricked by Lina, then it is understandable.
But the key now is, what did Lina gain from this? What did she want to achieve?
"What do you know about Lena?"
"I didn't know much. After the Queen was assassinated, I was a little uneasy for a while. That's when she came over. She said she could provide me with some help and made an offer that I couldn't refuse."
Xius raised an eyebrow: "What's the proposal?"
"She said the Bone Temple can resurrect the Queen."
β.β
Regardless of how ridiculous Lina's proposal is, is the person resurrected in the Temple of Bones still the former queen? Isn't Bazel's loyalty to the queen too high?
Isabella, Hughes really doesn't have much memory of this name. As for the current prince, if he is really the former queen, then Hughes does recognize her abilities.
"Well, even if you were planning to revive the Queen, after you got the Bone Temple, you only went south to attack us, and we didn't see you revive the Queen. Did she tell you that you had to annex the entire continent before you could revive the Queen?"
"No, I..." Bazel said with a hint of confusion, "I seem to have slowly forgotten about the Queen. I seem to want to rule the entire continent and establish a kingdom of the dead. Damn it, these thoughts have never occurred to me before!"
Hughes glanced at the diary next to him inconspicuously, and Chloe controlled the pages to point up and down.
γHis behavior before he was controlled did not seem like he wanted to unify the continent. I felt like he really just wanted to help the Queen expand the territory.γ
Hughes' eyes twitched.
"Did you discover Lina's purpose in your contact with her? Or what her inclinations are?"
This time, Basel did not answer immediately. Instead, he began to recall. The bone fragments around him moved slowly and irregularly.
"It seems. No. Lina said that she was the leader of the Fire Moths and wanted to fight for a living space for the Fire Moths. She asked me to guarantee this. Other than that, she did not make any other requests. After I opened the Bone Temple, she was also corroded and turned into a pile of bones."
"Hmm, wait a minute!" Xius suddenly gasped, "You said she turned into bones, too?"
"Yes, but I feel like she didn't die there. 'Lina' seems to be just a shell that she casually abandoned."
Xius didn't think that Lina really died so easily. What really made him feel bad was
"Lina also turned into bones? Where are her bones? Were they also absorbed into the white mist?"
"Well, I'm not sure about that. I suspect that the attack during the previous assassination was the power left by her bones. Anyway, the bones I can control are only my former subordinates. I can't feel her presence."
Zeus's face darkened. There was little Gwen in the white mist, so he had to hurry to remind her and provide some help if necessary.
Anyway, she still owes mortgage, so we can just lump the money together and let her pay it back slowly.
After asking Basel a few more questions, Hughes ignored Basel's pleas and locked him back in the room.
But before leaving, he thought about it and said to Chloe: "You can lower the frequency of your device appropriately. At present, several of our sources are basically in agreement that Bazel himself is not very dangerous. Perhaps his danger assessment level can be lowered."
After leaving the underground prison in Blood Harbor, Zeus immediately returned to the office, told Ash not to let anyone in, and then sat in the armchair.
Soon, his expression became as dull as a puppet, and the worker Xius in the white mist slowly opened his eyes.
"Hmm, it seems that there is still only fog around. Hmm?"
Xius rubbed his eyes and looked at the mist with a puzzled expression.
He seemed to have seen a huge figure just now, but the illusion disappeared in an instant?
"Forget it, never mind. This body is already dead anyway. Even if it is a monster, it can't let a person die twice." Zeus curled his lips and reached out to fiddle with the silk thread spreading from his chest.
"Gwen. Gwen this!"
"Gwen?"
"What, what?" Gwen's reply was unexpectedly quick.
"Let me remind you of one thing. According to Bazel's explanation, Lina also seemed to have turned into bones and entered the white mist. Do you know Lina? Most of what Bazel did was bewitched by her."
"Hmm, the ones that provoked Castel? I've seen the newspaper you published."
Hughes published newspapers simultaneously in Blood Harbor and Castel. Basically, there was news about the war in the North every day. The causes and consequences of sending troops to the North were also stated, which was equivalent to a mobilization.
"That's great, it saves me a lot of explanation. Wait, are you reading the genuine newspaper?"
"I sell fried fish at a fish stall. Many of our French fries and fried fish are wrapped in newspapers. I have read both formal and informal newspapers. I have been following the love triangle between you and Monica for a long time."
"In short, now we find that Lina is not Bazel's accomplice, but the real mastermind behind the scenes, and her strength is also questionable. According to Bazel and Isaac, she is much stronger than the average extraordinary person."
"It's okay. I'm strong too."
Xius hesitated for a moment, took a deep breath, and his eyes became firm.
"Is it because you are the [Named Person]?"
"I have always been very strong. Transcendents are basically unable to defeat me. It has nothing to do with whether I am a [Named One]. What is a [Named One]?"
"You don't know anything at all?"
"I don't know. You know how I became a transcendent. Miss Scepter shared some methods with me, and I touched the Sea of Unconsciousness and became a transcendent. Although she didn't do it on purpose, it was because I had too high an affinity with the Sea of Unconsciousness. These are the knowledge I recently gained in the White Mist."
"Are you okay? I remember you said the knowledge in the white mist was contaminated."
"I have found a way to avoid erosion. Well, I won't say more. I have too many problems to deal with. When I have some spare time, I will find a way to contact you."
"Okay, okay." Hughes sighed. He felt that little Gwen was hiding something from him, but he couldn't let her say it out.
Soon, Zeus chose to return, and the body of the worker Zeus became stagnant again.
After an unknown amount of time, the fog rolled up, and a giant white bone beast as tall as a mountain walked out. It carefully came to Xius and lay down beside him.
"It's strange, why I won't be polluted when I'm around him."
