Chapter 634 You are a lightning rod, not a lightning rod
Xius raised an eyebrow: "What's wrong? Don't be anxious, take a breath first and speak slowly."
Zoe is a superhuman, and the fact that she was running so breathless shows that she is obviously very anxious.
"My Lord, please do not be afraid of what I am about to say."
Zeus suppressed a smile. "What could it be? Is that weird link working again?"
Zoe was stunned for a long moment before she raised her trembling hand and pointed in this direction: "Could it be that... Could it be that you have learned divination?"
Hughes tried to keep his face straight: "No, this is reasoning."
"ah?"
"You and I came back on the same freighter, but you didn't report it to me after you came back. This means it didn't happen in the past few days. And the area you are in charge of is more civilian, so it's unlikely that a major incident would occur. It can't be that Yami blew up the school, right?"
"And if it's a sudden crisis, the banshee will definitely report it to me through telepathic link before you do."
"After eliminating all impossible options, whatever remains, no matter how bizarre, must be the truth, something unique to you, so important that you must report it to me immediately—"
"Only the link is connected again."
Zeus crossed his hands, covering most of his face, and his calm tone was like a sharp razor, unraveling the truth.
Zoe sat in the chair blankly, as if she had just been enlightened, with a look of shock on her face.
After a moment, her face flushed. "That's so wonderful! My Lord! I've only seen this kind of plot in mystery novels before!"
What a coincidence, isn't it? I've only seen this in mystery novels, Hughes thought.
"Lord, can you teach me how to write novels? I mean, teach me how to reason! This is really cool!"
That is, this is the effect of reasoning after knowing the answer.
Xiu Si smiled slightly. "This mainly depends on talent. Of course, hard work is also important. I have come this far entirely on my own. But I have digressed. First, tell me what happened."
Zoe then remembered the original purpose of her coming here, and hurriedly repeated the conversation between the few people in the link just now.
"In short, this connection is extremely strange. The person behind it must have a huge conspiracy!" Zoe said confidently. "I even doubt whether this is related to Lina."
The person behind the scenes scratched his head. He didn't really think too much about it. He just wanted to see if Beatrice was still online.
"Okay, I understand this matter. I will pay more attention to it and report back if there is any situation later."
"Um!"
Zoe agreed and turned to leave, but Hughes stopped her.
"Wait."
"What's wrong, Lord?"
“Zoe, I believe you didn’t go through a ceremony to become a Transcendent, right? Have you ever tested your abilities?”
Zoe was stunned for a moment, then said awkwardly, "Not yet. You know, my job doesn't allow me to come into contact with extraordinary people very often."
Although Zoe is in charge of the school, she is not very interested in the pursuit of knowledge and does not know many people among the Fire Moths.
Although her mother-in-law was familiar with her, she only taught her some basic knowledge and then left. She had recently joined the Ash Alliance, and Castel was expanding his intelligence network in the Empire. She had nothing to do on the island all day, and even the Dragon Breath Cannon was bored, so she simply applied to go to the Empire to collect intelligence.
Thinking of this, Xiu Si suddenly felt something was wrong. It was fine to get intelligence, but it seemed that the mother-in-law had applied for several dragon breath cannons before leaving?
She used the Dragon Breath Cannon to gather intelligence!?
"Anyway, I don't know any extraordinary people. I have some acquaintances among the banshees, but they don't seem to be very keen on extraordinary people either."
That is, the banshees who run newspapers run newspapers, those who work as doctors work as doctors, and those who do live broadcasts do live broadcasts, but few of them are thinking about becoming extraordinary.
Zoe blushed.
Indeed, although she took over a lot of government affairs, she only interacted with mortals and had no connections in the extraordinary field.
"Come to the island tomorrow and go to the main church. I'll arrange for someone to give you a comprehensive checkup. Gaia will be there too. I remember she also became a transcendent on her own."
So the next day, Zoe returned to the island with Hughes.
She stood in front of the Cathedral of Castel, looking at the swirling dark clouds above, and pressed down the hem of her skirt, which was blown up by the strong wind. She sighed to Xius beside her, "My Lord, is your test this time so grand?"
Zeus also looked up at the sky, his eyes twitching, but he didn't say anything.
At this moment, Castel was in a doomsday situation. The sky was filled with dark clouds, as if the entire sky was about to fall down.
The hurricane was howling, and the dark clouds were spinning slowly like a vortex. From time to time, bright silver lightning flashed across the sky, and the rumbling thunder seemed to be about to judge the world.
"My Lord, Castel is on the Ocean of Storms after all. I have seen storms before, but this is the first time I have seen a storm that only covers Castel."
“It’s my first time seeing this too.”
Xius turned his head helplessly and looked into the distance.
Although it looks like a doomsday scene here, a little further away, outside the island of Castel, it is a sunny and windy place. The sea water gently caresses the beach, and even the seagulls flying across the sky seem lazy.
"But I can probably guess the reason." Xius glanced at Gaia who was standing on the top of the cathedral, and remembered the projects he had casually approved for her yesterday.
"My Lord, this storm generator is really effective. I've already done a lightning strike test on the Cathedral of Castel. The lightning rods I added are quite useful."
Gaia directed the researchers to slowly stop the storm generator. More than a dozen coyotes that were spinning together were dizzy and sticking out their tongues.
". Let's not talk about the results of your experiment for now. How did you manage to implement the experiment approved yesterday today?"
"My Lord, don't you know that I'm responsible for the lightning rod grounding system of Castel Cathedral? Richard's modular storm generator is easy to disassemble and assemble, so I brought it up. In fact, it was already installed this morning. Since you're here, my Lord, I'd like to show you my latest progress!"
Gaia had just taken over the research and development, and had been allowed to come into contact with the Mechanical Temple, so she was naturally full of energy.
No, I'm even a little too motivated. I'm leaving in a few days, so why am I taking some time out from my busy schedule to do research?
"I improved the problem of the storm generator's uncontrollable lightning strikes by using a lightning rod to guide and accumulate the lightning, then release the stored lightning from the top of the lightning rod."
Sizzle—bang!
A flash of lightning suddenly appeared on the lightning rod on top of the Castel Cathedral, and then a bolt of lightning struck out, smashing the target in the distance to pieces.
