Chapter 633: Named and Named
After some prayers, there was nothing else for them to do, so they said take care to each other and finally left the link.
This time is almost the quietest time since the connection was established.
The fate of Gwen and Beatrice was unknown, which made the rest of the people feel very sad.
After disconnecting the link, Zeus sighed and chose to return.
Soon, the worker Hughes lowered his head and everything became quiet.
After a long while, the calm mist suddenly surged up, and the area around Xiusi, who had been wrapped in white mist, suddenly became clear.
Like a burst dam, the fog swirled and rushed towards one place. Looking closely, it seemed to be a human figure.
White hair, white eyes, it's little Gwen.
She had no support and was just floating in the air. She glanced at Xiu Si and slowly landed in front of Xiu Si, lightly touching the ground with her bare toes.
She put her hands behind her back with a curious look on her face, walked around Hughes a few times, and then reached out and gently touched the worker Hughes' forehead.
Zeus's head tilted to the side, like a lifeless puppet, without any reaction.
Gwen reached out and inserted her hand into the big hole in Zeus' chest, as if checking a magic prop to see if it was really empty.
"Great, great!"
Gwen sighed and after a careful inspection, her body gradually floated up and disappeared into the mist again.
The sun shone down from the sky, Gwen's small body floated in the air, and the shadow it cast was like a ferocious giant beast.
There seemed to be something wrapped around the pointed horns on the giant beast's head. Upon closer inspection, it was a few silk threads, the other end of which was wrapped around Zeus's hand.
If Xiu Si were here, he would definitely be surprised: why is the connection much slower today? It turns out that there is an extra transfer.
Little Gwen was floating in the air, and suddenly frowned and looked to the side. His figure suddenly became blurred, and after a moment, he disappeared.
And in the unknown distance, in the Canary Mountains in the north, the fog is like a high wall that goes straight up and down, like a natural moat.
A young girl was standing here, looking quietly at the fog in front of her, with an expressionless face.
Soon, the fog spread to both sides, and Gwen's figure gradually became solid.
"You are Lina, right?"
Lina didn't even look at Gwen. She stared at a certain spot in the mist. "He has come again, and this time it is stronger than any time before."
"Who is this 'Him' you're talking about? And what does it mean to come?"
Lina's eyes moved, her gaze landing on little Gwen, a hint of sarcasm tugging at the corners of her mouth: "You and I are both [Named Ones], how could we not know who 'He' is?"
Little Gwen was silent for a moment.
"I've only just become the [Named Person], so I don't know much."
"Oh, there's no need to tell such ridiculous lies. There are many ways to become a Named One, but they're all fake." Lina seemed to have lost interest in Gwen and looked straight into the depths of the white mist. "A Named One cannot 'become' one. There are as many Named Ones now as there were a thousand years ago. Maybe there will be fewer, but definitely not more."
Gwen fell silent again. After a long time, she turned her head and followed Lina's gaze into the depths of the white fog.
"You want to go in?"
"I do, I really do, but once I get in, I'll probably be at your mercy." Lina's tone suddenly changed, becoming a bit angry. "You've been staying in this Forgotten Temple for so long that even I don't remember you. The gods have fallen, and dusk is approaching. I don't blame you for wanting to save your life, but why didn't you take action on the day Lord Bruno died?"
Facing the girl's fiery gaze, Little Gwen scratched his head in confusion. "Um... I really don't know what you're talking about. Can you tell me in detail?"
Lina snorted coldly, took one last look at the white mist, turned around and left.
Only little Gwen was left alone.
She sighed and muttered softly, "I can't leave now. I have to look after this body for him."
The fog rolled and Gwen's figure disappeared. Although she didn't know what Lina was talking about, she at least knew what Lina was spying on.
——Even through the thick fog, Lina's eyes fell on the body of the worker Hughes.
Hughes slowly raised his head from the armchair and rubbed his sore neck.
"I didn't gain much from this visit, except for the inexplicable ability to listen to people's prayers. The key is that I can only listen, and I can't help others realize their wishes!"
"Forget it, let's get back to the business at hand. Ash! Is anyone visiting during this time?"
"Yes, Gaia."
"Let her in."
The next second, the door was pushed open and Gaia walked straight in.
"I heard you're going to contact the Mechanical Temple?"
Zeus blinked. Gaia had always been a very steady and careful person, but at this moment she was obviously a little excited and anxious, and even buttoned one of the buttons on her collar incorrectly.
Hughes tapped his fingers on the table, squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, then sighed: "You want to go? Is it for Chloe?"
"Who would do that for her?" Gaia retorted subconsciously. Facing Zeus's clear eyes, her voice softened. "You're letting me take over the research and development now, aren't you? I think the Mechanical Temple's technology has some merits, so I'd like to discuss it."
After she finished speaking, she seemed a little worried that Xius would disagree, and quickly added, "I'm already a Transcendent, a Fire Moth, and most importantly, I've managed Castel's military production line. I know all the technologies we need, and I'm the most suitable person to go there!"
In fact, Richard is the better candidate. Zeus wanted to say this, but looking at Gaia's pleading eyes, he couldn't open his mouth.
In the end, he just sighed inwardly and nodded in agreement, saying, "The specific personnel have not been finalized yet, but since you want to go, we will reserve a place for you on this diplomatic mission."
Gaia's eyes lit up. "That's great, Lord! I will definitely live up to your expectations! Oh, and I have some projects that need approval."
Gaia handed over a pile of documents with a guilty conscience, as if to prove that she was not lazy. Xiu Si simply flipped through them and found that they were all various scientific research projects. He did not look at them carefully and signed them casually.
"Just get ready. We'll be leaving in the next few days. I'll let you know once I've selected the crew."
"Okay! Thank you, Lord!"
Gaia ran away happily, and Zeus shook his head and sighed.
She had been depressed since Chloe's death, and Hughes hadn't seen her so happy in a long time.
I hope her journey to the Mechanical Temple goes smoothly.
He yawned and was about to close the door when someone suddenly rushed into the room. He looked closely and found that it was Zoe who was running out of breath.
"My Lord! Something happened!"
