Chapter 288 Coincidence
The link was broken, and consciousness gradually returned to the main body.
Zoe looked up suddenly from the table, her face full of excitement.
Unfortunately, the novel that had just been placed on the table was not taken away, and her slightly red and swollen forehead hit it accurately again.
“It hurts, it hurts, it hurts.”
Zoe covered her forehead with her hands, tears streaming down her face.
"Well, it hurts so much, it must be real." Zoe was dizzy and dazed, but her mind was still on the magical experience she had just had. Even though her forehead was in terrible pain, she couldn't help but keep thinking about everything that had just happened.
Strange voices appeared in her mind, and after talking to them, she found that this was a mysterious link that would occasionally be opened - according to those people, they had been exchanging information in this link.
This, this is simply, simply amazing!
Zoe has always liked reading novels, but she knows that she is actually just longing for an interesting life.
Back then, when she was just an ordinary maid in the Duke of Cohen's mansion, she begged Hughes to take her away from there, even if the destination was an unknown deserted island. She might even never come back if she followed Master Hughes.
She yearned for adventure and was tired of the repetitive work day after day.
Unfortunately, she still had some self-awareness. She knew that she was just an ordinary maid. She was already satisfied to be able to leave the manor and teach in literacy classes. The wonderful and exciting life probably had nothing to do with her.
But today, she suddenly had this wonderful ability, able to connect with many powerful people and communicate with them! Zoe couldn't help but walk around the room a few times. She had only seen this kind of thing in novels, where the originally ordinary protagonist suddenly got a golden finger, and then his life was completely different -
Tick-tick-tick.
“Zoe?”
There was a knock on the door. Zoe recognized it was Hughes' voice. She quickly tidied herself up and opened the door.
The person at the door was, of course, Hughes, who came straight over as soon as he returned, ready to tell Zoe about his appointment.
“Zoe, I’m going to… What’s going on with your head?”
Zoe quickly covered her forehead. Touching her swollen forehead made her grimace and cry out in pain: "Uh-huh, no, it's okay. I accidentally touched it. Twice."
"Then you should be more careful." After saying this, Xius coughed lightly and his face became serious: "Zoe, we have not received any news from the first airship we sent out before. Do you know about this?"
Zoe nodded in surprise. Of course she knew about this. Hughes asked her to come here to help after Connor left. She was privately worried about old Connor. After all, the butler took good care of her when she was a maid.
"That airship was heading to the Empire to seek help. Its original landing location was at Blood Harbor. It was said that the situation there was unstable. I suspect that the airship was detained by Blood Harbor."
"Oh, is that so? Then we have to rescue Mr. Connor immediately!"
Zoe covered her mouth and said with a worried look on her face.
“Since you think so, it’s up to you, Zoe.”
"?"
Zoe blinked, confusion clear on her face.
"I'm going to organize a visiting team to go to Blood Harbor to investigate the airship incident. If they are really detained, we will rescue them. You will lead the team."
Zoe nodded as she listened, but suddenly froze when she heard the last sentence. She pointed her index finger at herself, her face full of confusion.
"Me? I'll lead the team?"
"That's right. You are very familiar with Connor, and you are from the Duke of Cohen. You can use me. You can use the name of Duke Cohen to ask for people."
These were all far-fetched reasons. In fact, there was only one reason why Zoe was chosen, which was that she happened to join the group chat link randomly. But Zoe didn't know that this little maid became obviously panicked after discovering that Zeus was serious.
"How, how can this be possible! I can't do this. I have never led a team out, and I have never been to Blood Harbor. For things like this, shouldn't I ask Mr. Alexei or someone like that?"
"Alexei has to take care of the affairs of the Skitarii and cannot be away. It is inconvenient for the banshees to be exposed, so I decided to choose you!"
Seeing that Zoe was still in a panic, Xiu Si whispered to comfort her: "Don't worry, I will assign a team of crusaders for you. There are also banshees on the sea ready to serve at any time. There is also a ship behind you. If there is any accident, they will also help. You did a good job in managing the school before. This trip depends on you."
After saying that, he turned around and left without waiting for Zoe's reply: "You can first understand the specific situation, ask about the situation on the mainland, and look for more channels, such as Josh's caravan, to see if there are any channels for contact."
"We will set off the day after tomorrow. I will arrange the manpower for you. You just need to be the leader. You can get some information tomorrow."
Bang.
The door is closed.
Zoe groggily sat back in her chair.
She was confused. She was only here to help with some odd jobs, so why did she suddenly have to take people out for an interview? What should she do? What if she failed to save Mr. Connor? Look for more channels. Find out some information. Ask about the situation on the mainland. Hughes' words suddenly appeared in her mind. Zoe paused and opened her eyes wide.
Yes, she just got the link, she can go ask those people! They should know the news from the Empire, right?
It seems to work! Zoe instantly became excited and paced quickly in the house. The team would leave the day after tomorrow, so she could go ask tomorrow. Well, if the link can be used tomorrow. Zoe's face flushed. She got the golden finger unexpectedly, and it turned out to be useful. This, this is simply a plot in a novel! I hope everything goes well, I hope everything goes well, she prayed secretly in her heart.
Xius walked slowly in the corridor, and the corners of his mouth could not help but rise slightly.
Of course everything will go well, and tomorrow morning he will descend into the body of the worker Zeus and pull her into the link.
This link can finally be used. Thinking of this, Xiusi couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
After all, Castel has too little contact with the outside world and has no reliable channels to obtain information from the outside world. I don’t know what happened to Isaac, who was previously sent out to set up an intelligence network, so I have to send someone to check it out.
But that is a matter for the future. Now I should think about how to contact the prince.
If he really seized the airship, he would not be able to get it back successfully unless he showed some strength.
Thinking of this, Xius turned and walked towards the eastern test site.
He planned to ask the Fire Moths how the research on the projects he had previously dealt with was going. If possible, they might be of great use.
After all, it is a cannon.
