Chapter 768 Meeting with Frey
To Nini, the height of the Untouchables is like the ratio of humans to cats.
Nini now felt like a person surrounded by a group of cats, and she didn't know where to go.
I was afraid that I would accidentally step on a few of them.
It's strange to say, but these untouchables seemed to have no fear. There was no wariness in their eyes when they looked at Nini, only curiosity and joy.
Banshees are already weird to begin with, and this race seems to be even worse.
But they basically kept a distance and didn't get too close.
Nini kept smiling, but in her heart she kept reporting what she saw and heard to Una through the mental link.
"This race is truly bizarre. They have absolutely no wariness towards me. It's not just weak, it's completely non-existent."
"This isn't right."
"How can a race without a sense of defense survive? And yet, they're completely devoid of such emotions. It's as if they were specifically tuned to this state."
"Have you written everything down?"
Una, who was watching from a distance, nodded and said, "I've got it all. Should I show up?"
"No, you should just observe from the shadows. These untouchables are too strange, so it's better to approach them slowly first."
"learn."
Nini followed Gragra forward and soon they arrived at a larger cave.
To be honest, Nini felt a bit of déjà vu here. In the early days of Castel, most of the banshees lived underground. They used fossils as mud to dig underground, and this was the kind of residence they lived in.
There were many untouchables gathered in the house. Most of them held pieces of paper with densely written words on them, while others held pieces of stone slabs or tree bark, each of which was different.
In the middle of the room stood a thick book with copper-covered corners and a flame painted on the cover - the flame emblem of Castel.
Imperial Codex of Truth.
In front of the holy book, a young man stood up in surprise.
Frey.
Although Nini had never seen him in person, she had seen his portrait. Seeing Frey's surprised and fearful look, Nini quickly spoke first:
"I'm a friend of Zoe and Gaia, the banshee of Caster. Xiaobu's letter was delivered to Caster, and I'm here to deliver a reply."
Frey took a step back, his eyes flickering. Nini was actually a little surprised to see this reaction - this was the reaction a normal person should have. He was a little skeptical.
After all, in a remote place like Whitestone Castle, the only people you can see are the Crusaders, and you have never seen a Banshee at all.
Seeing as he didn't deny it, I guess he'd heard the rumors about the banshee.
"I have a letter from Gaia and Zoe here." Nini quickly added, "Handwritten letter."
"I see. What should I call you?"
"My name is Nini."
"Nini!?" Frey's eyes widened. "The Nini who wrote the Strange Tales of Headless Nora? I've read your Chronicles of Castel. It's truly magnificent."
"What I wrote has been spread to Baishibao?" This time it was Nini's turn to be surprised.
"It's not just Whitestone Castle. Rumor has it that some gangs are smuggling your newspapers to the Empire. They say bound volumes are hard currency across the border. Could you sign it for me?"
Nini signed her name on Frey's robe with a strange look on her face, while Frey's face was full of surprise.
After all this trouble, the tension and vigilance gradually dissipated. After discussing the plot of the report with Nini for a while, Frey was obviously more relaxed.
Nini also handed him the letter from Gaia and Zoe - this was specially prepared so that if you encounter an untouchable person, you can quickly gain their trust. It contains many special code words.
After checking everything, Frey finally smiled and said, "Great, you guys are finally here. I was just worried about what to do next."
"What's there to worry about? With the level of machinery here, it should be easy to leave or survive, right? Even a counterattack on the Vatican isn't hopeless—haven't you already attacked once?"
The Untouchables used machinery to drill all the way to the Upper Rhine, interrupting Jules's plan and successfully changing the situation of the war.
Without their presence, Beatrice might not have had the chance to be a fountain in Castres.
"I was lucky that time. Actually, I just planned to follow the instructions to find Gaia and Lady Zoe, and then leave Rhine. I didn't expect that..." Frey looked at the untouchables around him, with a hint of relief in his eyes.
It can be seen that he likes it here and does not regret the choice he made.
"Besides, the machinery here is just casually made. Castel's industry is definitely much more advanced than this. They should have more powerful creations, right?"
Frey said with a longing look on his face.
Nini was silent now, she didn't know how to start.
When it comes to weapons, Castel does have quite a few, but to be honest, Castel really can't make the big guys that are made here.
But Frey didn't know. He had never been to Castel and his knowledge of the place was limited to various rumors. Naturally, his mind was full of the idea that "Castel's industry is the best in the world."
"Are you coming here to take over?" Frey asked with some anticipation.
Although he was ambitious and wanted to make a career, he still had some self-knowledge. He didn't think he could really lead this ethnic group to complete the counterattack on the ground.
After all, he was just a petty thief on the streets of Baishibao. He seized some opportunities with his decisiveness, boldness and carefulness, but in terms of his true level, he was still far from it.
He couldn't even understand the scriptures. What people around him could learn in a few days took him half a month to master.
Therefore, Frey concluded that he was not good at studying and could not even compare to these underground people who had no writing system. He probably achieved all these achievements by luck.
Now that someone has taken over, he is naturally happy.
Nini didn't answer immediately. She carefully observed the untouchables around her.
They looked at Frey with conviction in their eyes, and given the fact that these people had characters that could not hide anything, Nini could easily tell that Frey was very popular here.
"I came here just to explore the underground water veins. Now that the waterway is open, more people will come to communicate. As for you, please stay here for now. Someone will contact you later. If there are any supplies you need, I can coordinate a batch to be sent over."
"We are still self-sufficient in supplies. Could you please send us some scriptures? It would be best if we could also send some books."
These Untouchables were so eager to learn that Frey couldn't handle them at all. He didn't have much knowledge to begin with, let alone teaching others.
"By the way, is Xiaobu in Castel?"
"Yes." Nini looked at the people around her. "We plan to invite her to stay there for a while and visit the island. Maybe she will like it very much."
Well, I don’t think he has Castell’s syndrome, right?
