Industrial Cthulhu, starting from the island lord

Chapter 294 My suggestion is not to come to Blood Harbor

The next morning, Hughes got up early to process documents.

He has a lot of things to do these days, and today he has to use the body of the worker Xiu Si to connect the link so that several people can meet.

I don't know how Zoe is preparing.

After just reading a few documents, Xiusi saw Zoe walk in with a large stack of documents. Seeing her dark circles under her eyes and the appearance of lack of sleep, Xiusi's heart moved.

"Zoe, don't work today. Take a day off. You're leaving tomorrow, so you can make some preparations in advance."

Zoe was a little surprised, and after hesitating for a moment, she nodded in agreement. It was impossible for her to rest, as she had to set off tomorrow, and she had not yet finished reading the knowledge of the Eastern Territory of the Empire that she had been cramming for.

It's a good opportunity to find a few more people to get more information. I don't know why the Lord has identified her.
After watching Zoe walk back to her room, Hughes hung a wooden sign on the door that read "Resting, do not disturb, documents sent to the next room, please notify Alexi in case of emergency." He quickly sat back in the armchair and chose to return.

Not long after, the worker Xius came online and pulled the silk thread to pull several people into the group chat.

In the room of the Cathedral of Castel, Zoe felt the connection that suddenly appeared in her mind and secretly felt lucky.

Fortunately, the lord decided to give her a vacation on a whim, otherwise it would have been really troublesome.

Does this link appear so frequently, every day?

French Fries: "Huh?"

French Fries: "How did it connect again so quickly?"

Scepter: "Indeed, it took a long time to connect before, but this time it happened two days in a row. It would be great if I could know the connection time in advance."

Xius's heart moved.

Tell me the link time?

This seemed a bit troublesome. In order to avoid frightening these people, he couldn't speak in the link. If he used other methods...
For example, doing it once every few weeks seems to be okay.

It can also allow these people to prepare in advance and come up with more valuable information.

French Fries: "Is the Lady of Wands in trouble?"

Scepter: "Why do you ask?"

French Fries: "I can't really put my finger on it. Maybe it's some kind of intuition? Anyway, I feel like you seem a little unhappy."

This time, the Scepter was silent for a long time before speaking again: "I did encounter some troubles, but they are not serious. I can handle them."

Zoe was slightly surprised. Could the Lady of the Scepter also be in trouble? Wasn't she a transcendent?

Extraordinary person, Zoe had no idea about this word. She once secretly asked Chloe if she was an extraordinary person. The girl with orange-red hair just smiled and said nothing.

Apart from Chloe, the only supernatural being Zoe knew of was the Banshee.

But in her mind, the Banshee was synonymous with strength. She had great combat power and could learn things faster than herself. Zoe was the first maid to teach the Banshees to read, but in the blink of an eye, she herself could not understand the knowledge that the Banshees were discussing.

Could such a powerful person also have troubles?

Zoe's confusion only lasted for a moment, and she soon remembered the important matter.

Writer: "What's happening in Blood Harbor lately? Do you have any information?"

French Fries: "Hmm?" French Fries: "Ms. Writer, are you going to Blood Harbor?"

Zoe hesitated. Should she admit it?
As a mortal who had just gained the link, she was still wary of all this. She was too weak and did not dare to reveal her itinerary.

But it doesn't seem too revealing. She is with the Crusaders, and she can say later that she is going somewhere else.

If you admit it, it will be easier to get information. Why not give it a try?

After encouraging herself, Zoe replied in a steady voice, "Yes, any suggestions?"

French Fries: "My advice is don't go."

French Fries: "We just docked at a port and heard some news. It seems that things are not peaceful over at Blood Harbor."

French Fries: "Not only Blood Harbor, but the entire Tis is dangerous."

French Fries: "Because over there."

Scepter: "We're going to war with the Empire, right?"

fries:"!!!"

French Fries: "Ms. Wands, do you have any news?"

Scepter: "Don't worry, there won't be a fight. The battle between the Empire and Tis is just a pretense. The combined efforts of the major churches will pacify the western battlefield in twenty days, and dealing with Tis will be even faster. After all, the flesh and blood of the soldiers here can't stop bullets."

Tis and the Empire are just pretending?
This was crucial information. It was indeed true that Lazoi had come in. They had brought the topic here so quickly. Hughes felt a little excited.

French Fries: "But I heard there's chaos over there?"

Scepter: "I just said that the Empire and Tis won't fight, but that doesn't mean there won't be chaos there—in fact, it would be strange if there wasn't chaos there."

French Fries: "Is there something wrong at Blood Harbor?"

Scepter: "Blood Harbor is the most important city in Tis. The entire Tis is close to the sea. You should be aware of what happened in the sea. How could you not be affected?"

What happened in the sea?
Anyone who lives near the sea can tell by just looking into the sea.

The sea dried up, something like this had never happened before, at least not in the history that could be found. A few months later, the sea level rose again. It is easy to imagine how much of an impact this would have on ordinary people.

Moreover, Tis is a country by the sea, and its marine culture has a profound influence on the Principality of Tis. When Ken and Gaia's family encountered war, the first thing they wanted to do was escape to an island. This shows their closeness to the sea.

But the sea that existed around us for thousands of years has dried up.
Xiu Si suddenly realized that he seemed to have underestimated the impact of this incident. Castel had no contact with the outside world and had no idea what was happening outside. Now think about it, this kind of thing is no different from the end of the world for ordinary people.

In 2012, a prediction with no basis could cause a lot of trouble. This is the real disappearance of sea water.

Scepter: "I heard that many cultists over there took advantage of the situation to cause chaos, and because the Church has withdrawn its influence, no one is pursuing them. These cultists have already caused a lot of trouble, but it's just not been reported."

There was silence on the link for a while before a hoarse voice was heard.

Captain: "Why would the Church abandon its believers and land?"

Scepter: "I don't know much about the details, but I heard that the Council of Secret Keepers sensed some signs in the sea and began to withdraw their forces long ago. Even their confrontation with the Principality of Tis isn't just about dealing with the prince. I have a feeling they're on guard against something."

What are you on guard against?
What is there to guard against in the sea that requires giving up the entire land of the Principality of Tis and building a defense line deep inland?
Could it be... fishmen and sea urchin monsters?

Did the Holy See predict the revival of Poseidon in advance?
