Chapter 65 Martial Law

Inside the manor, Lord Xius slowly raised his head.

He looked around and saw nothing unusual, so he closed the notebook and walked towards the door.

"Connor?"

When I opened the door, Zoe was standing not far away.

"Zoe? You didn't go to the lecture?"

Noting that this was a manor, Hughes did not mention the Banshee's name.

Zoe pointed to the study behind him. Hughes had locked himself in there and she couldn't go down through the secret passage.

".Forget it, it's not important. Are the things Alexei brought still there?"

"Yes, but for safety reasons, I didn't bring it to the manor. I put it in the chemical laboratory."

"I'll be right there."

When Connor and Alexi heard the news and came to the laboratory, they saw Hughes recording.

"My Lord?"

"Master."

"Alexei, you're here just in time. Please compile a report for me on these two incidents, and pay special attention to marking the time when they made these things."

"Ah? Are these things still valuable?"

"That's really valuable. Just think about it. Nitroglycerin that can be safely stored and transported. But I don't think it's that simple, otherwise the major forces wouldn't have worked together to block it."

Alexi and Connor looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. They had thought that Hughes had suffered such a huge blow that he couldn't recover.

"Okay, I'll go and compile the report now!"

"The soap workshop continues to produce. Are the craftsmen unaware of this?"

"I don't know. I came here as soon as I found out. The workshop remains as it is. I just told the workers to stop working temporarily and didn't alert anyone else."

"That's good. I'll find a way to send someone to take over the workshop over there. I'll temporarily suspend the night school and tell the soldiers to find wild animals attacking at night. Tell the islanders not to go out at night these few days to avoid being mistaken for wild animals and shot."

"By the way, the worker who stole the soap should be detained first, and a doctor should be sent to check on his condition, saying that he needs treatment."

Thinking of the church's extreme treatment of the worker Hughes in his previous life, Hughes suddenly felt a little tight in his heart. Cognitive interference must have led to more serious consequences, otherwise the priest would not have killed him without even listening to his explanation.

"You didn't eat the soap?"

"Like you, I just took a bite, tasted it, and then spit it out."

"Take some pollution-purifying sugar with you. If you feel something is wrong, eat it immediately. No, just eat one right now."

Although he felt that his lord was making a fuss, Alexei still obediently took the candy and put it in his mouth.

"Don't tell anyone about the changes in soap and nitroglycerin. If anyone asks, just say there was a deviation in the manufacturing and a batch of raw materials was scrapped. Got it?"

Alexei nodded and left.

Hughes looked at Connor.

"Pack the two soaps and nitroglycerin separately and make sure they are waterproof. Then have the Banshees take one group to the Abyss and the other group away from Castel. Pay attention to see if the properties of the two soaps and nitroglycerin have changed."

"Also, you must tell them to be careful and throw it away quickly if they feel something is wrong. This thing may be dangerous, especially nitroglycerin."

With the symbiotic contract in place, the banshee who went to do the experiment could be rescued as long as she still had a breath, but it was better to be on the safe side.

He was now exploring completely unknown territory, so he could not be too cautious.

Connor nodded and left with the box.

Hughes also kept some samples in his hands, and he called to the servants in the distance.

"Bring two dogs"

The evenings in Castell have been much more lively lately.

Every day after work and after dinner, the workers went to night school. There were also islanders who gathered from all over the place to go to night school, plus the patrols escorting them. The dotted torches made the dark night more lively.

But today everyone was informed of a piece of news.

Recently, there have been wolves appearing at night. It is said that they are attracted by people's activities at night. The lord has formed a special hunting team to ambush the wolves at night.

Of course, the visibility is poor at night, and it would be bad if you were mistaken for a wolf and killed by hunting team.

So when it was getting dark, everyone closed their doors.

at the same time.

Inside the manor, Hughes frowned as he looked at the two slightly listless dogs.

No problem, nothing wrong at all.

The mutated soap has been very normal until now, and seems to be just ordinary food.

But why did the bad premonition in his heart become stronger and stronger?

"Think carefully, there must be something wrong!"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Cognitive Interference Cognitive Interference The closest he had to cognitive interference was probably in the factory in his previous life, when he improved the machines and was hunted by the church.

There are two points that concern him.

First of all, the priest didn't listen to his explanation at all and killed him directly.

Secondly, he could almost confirm that the priest was a supernatural being.

"The church did not send out the Guardians, but directly sent out the Extraordinary to deal with it. Even though I was just an ordinary worker, I was killed directly."

Hughes paced quickly around the room.

"No, I know too little about cognitive interference. The decisions I make based on the information I already have are likely to be wildly wrong."

“My best option in this situation is to...”

“It’s exactly the church’s response!”

“They have more experience dealing with this situation and know some of the risks that I don’t!”

Hughes's face hardened.

"Connor!"

The door was pushed open, and the butler who had been waiting outside stood at the door: "Master?"

"Go find Alexi immediately and have him take over the defense of the island. All soldiers must stay on standby and not leave the room without my order!"

Connor took a breath, nodded, and left.

Zeus closed his eyes, activated the mind link, and a group of light spots suddenly appeared in his consciousness.

At this moment, he was connected with the banshees! Under the manor, the banshees in the cave were busy repairing the cave. Suddenly, they all raised their heads.

Then, they all put down what they were doing and turned to go to the shelves in the hall, where a row of weapons were neatly arranged.

The Banshees filed in, picked up their weapons one by one, and jumped into the sea.

It was getting dark, and the setting sun was blood red.

One after another tall figures stood up from the sea, swinging their snake tails and landing on the island.

They held long-handled axes in their hands and looked at every living creature on the land with cold eyes.

In Zeus's consciousness, spots of light filled the entire island, like his eyes, monitoring everything on the island.

Castel, total martial law.
