Chapter 745: Visit from the Named Person
Hughes can be said to be quite cautious now.
Even if he had an extra body that could descend, it would only be icing on the cake for Castel now, but if Lord Zeus died, it would be a big trouble.
Besides, Zeus's control over Lina is not at the level of Descend.
Strictly speaking, Hughes felt like he was playing a game. He could use ASWD to control the protagonist to move forward and backward, and could do some simple actions, but he couldn't do anything a little more complicated.
It is an indirect control and is not very easy to use.
Lina's body is not very useful. Instead, it is more valuable to explore the "Named One" and even figure out what the Golden Throne is.
Thinking of this, Hughes glanced at Beatrice.
Although this Miss Fountain is only the Pope in name only, she has a lot of knowledge in the supernatural.
She might know something about the Golden Throne.
But her condition is not very good now, and she has just arrived in Castel, so she needs to be observed further.
Maybe one day in the future, Hughes would trust her enough to tell her his deepest secrets, but not now.
On the other side, Gaia and the banshees were having a heated discussion.
The fact that Hughes could control Lina's body was beyond everyone's expectations, and it also brought one thing to the surface:
Their lord is definitely not an ordinary person.
Castel knew that Zeus was different from ordinary people.
It can purify pollution. With this ability, even if Zeus is not a lord, he can become a guest of honor in any church.
Although it was of little use in Castel - the pollution here was not enough to burn, so there was no extra for him to waste.
That time, he accidentally purified the Moth Lord. Zeus feels sad when he thinks about it now. If he had stayed, maybe there would be another stellar furnace.
I just don't know if the fire moths have any objections.
Apart from this incident, Zeus's relationship with the banshees is also well known.
Everyone knows how powerful the banshees are. Zeus is connected to all the banshees and can share a mental link. These things cannot be hidden from anyone.
The part about sharing the life pool might cause trouble, so it has not been made public.
Not to mention Hughes's industrial knowledge that he got from nowhere.
At the time, Zeus said that he read it from the Imperial Royal Library, so everyone just believed it for the time being.
Now that the Queen of the Empire has come to Castel and is about to attack the Empire, it will be difficult for those who trust Hughes to convince themselves.
As for Hughes himself, he didn't explain it specifically.
Anyway, Castel has developed and its industry is strong enough, so there will be people to defend him.
The only trouble might be that Nini publishes some outrageous speculations all day long.
Now, Zeus can directly control the body of the Named One.
Gaia and the banshees looked at Xiu Si with complicated eyes.
Why does it feel like the status of my lord is getting higher and higher?
In the past, there were often various speculations about Zeus's identity. The secret society even secretly worshipped him as a god, and this was repeatedly banned.
Now no one will discuss or speculate, the believers of the secret order will just pray directly.
To some extent, Hughes's ban worked well.
Xius looked at the people in front of him, scratched his head, and was about to make up an excuse.
Gaia coughed lightly and skipped the topic. "My Lord, the technical analysis of the Mechanical Temple is basically complete. We are ready to start the trial. However, we haven't decided whether to send Nora or Chloe first."
The people around also tacitly did not mention the matter of Lina's body.
Xius smiled bitterly. It seemed that no one would believe him no matter how he explained.
Fortunately, he spent enough energy to promote universal education and passed on this set of ideas and methodologies. Now, no matter what kind of existence he is, these subordinates are at least not ignorant and fanatical believers.
Let's look at it more rationally.
"Chloe and Nora can conduct the experiment together. We have plenty of resources, and it's unlikely that two of them will die again. Let's both give it a try."
Hughes shrugged. Nora and Chloe had been waiting for resurrection for a long time. Now that there was finally hope, he also wanted them to have normal bodies as soon as possible.
There are already rumors that Castel is making dead people work overtime, and this needs to be stopped immediately.
"Tata will also help you, but... well, it's best to be cautious about his proposals."
Hughes was about to say that the shapes of his coffins were unlucky, but then he thought, since Chloe and Nora were both dead, it was quite fitting.
Zeus did not continue discussing with Gaia and others, but went back directly. Lina's body was still under strict guard.
After all, if he can control it, maybe Lina can control it too.
Empire, Upper Rhine, Council of Secret Keepers.
This was once the highest decision-making body of the Candlelight Society and the gathering place of the Vatican's secret keepers.
But now, this place is empty, with only one figure sitting at the head of the long table.
Jules, the former legendary investigator, is now the new Pope of the Candlelight Society.
He was tapping the tabletop with his metal fingers out of boredom, a hint of human impatience appearing on his face, which was full of gears and precise structures.
"How long are you going to watch? It's just you and me here, why don't you come out?"
The candlelight on the table flickered slightly, causing the shadow of the high-backed chair to sway on the wall.
When the shadow stretched to its longest, it suddenly stopped changing and did not move with the next jump of the candlelight.
The next moment, the shadow suddenly solidified, and a figure slowly stood up from it.
The black and white shadows seemed to be painted with color, the blood-red short hair and blood-red eyes made the pale skin look like a shimmering river under the candlelight.
"Lina, the [Named Person] in history books, I didn't expect to have the honor of meeting you." Yule's voice was low, and the camera in his eye socket slowly focused.
Lina shook her hair and looked around, her eyes lingering on the empty bench for a long time.
"Where are those [Secret Keepers]?"
Jules yawned, and the speaker in his throat simulated the sound of air flowing. He glanced at Lina but did not answer.
Lina withdrew her gaze and stared at Yule. After a moment, her brows furrowed.
"The prince is gathering his troops in Tis. Castel has formed an alliance with the Duchy of Tis, and they will attack us soon."
"Um."
"Castel isn't the same bunch of losers from the North. They've already built powerful muskets and even airships that can soar through the sky. Have you ever seen one drop a bomb? The roaring explosion could flatten a mountain."
"Great, great."
Lina's brows furrowed tighter and tighter: "There's no way the Candlelight Society and the Empire can defeat them."
