Industrial Cthulhu, starting from the island lord

Chapter 288 Coincidence
The link was broken, and consciousness gradually returned to the main body.

Zoe's head shot up from the table, her face excited.

Unfortunately, the novel that had just been placed on the table was not taken away, and her slightly swollen forehead hit it accurately again.

"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 from the collision, 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 through 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 it meant going to an unknown deserted island. She might even never come back if she followed Master Hughes.

She yearned for adventure and was tired of the same repetitive work day after day.

Unfortunately, she still had some self-awareness. She was just an ordinary maid. She was already satisfied to be able to leave the manor and teach 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 -

Ta-ta-ta-ta.

"Zoe?"

There was a knock on the door. Zoe recognized it was Hughes' voice. She quickly tidied herself up and opened the door.

Of course, it was Hughes at the door. He 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 just accidentally touched it. Twice."

"Then you should be more careful." After saying this, Xiu Si coughed lightly and his face became serious. "Zoe, we haven't heard from the first airship we sent out yet. Are you aware of this?"

Zoe nodded in surprise. Of course she knew. 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 assistance. Its original landing location was Blood Harbor. It's said the situation there is unstable. I suspect the airship was detained by Blood Harbor."

"Oh, is that so? Then we have to rescue Mr. Connor quickly!"

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 and investigate the airship incident. If they're really detained, we'll rescue them - and you'll be the leader." Zoe nodded as she listened, but she 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're very familiar with Connor, and you're from the Duke of Cohen. You can use me and the Duke of Cohen's name to get him."

These were all far-fetched reasons. The real reason Zoe was chosen was simply that she happened to join the group chat link.
But Zoe didn't know that the little maid became visibly panicked after realizing that Zeus was serious.

"How, how can that be! I can't do that! I've never led a team out before, and I've never been to Blood Harbor. Shouldn't I ask Mr. Alexi or someone like that for something like this?"

"Alexi has to take care of the affairs of the Skitarii and can't get away, and the banshees don't want to be exposed, so I've decided on you!"

Seeing that Zoe was still panicking, Zeus whispered to her, "Don't worry, I'll assign you a team of skitarians. There are also banshees on the sea ready to help. There's also a ship behind you that will help if anything unexpected happens. You did a great job managing the school before, so I'm counting on you for this trip."

After saying that, he turned 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 of contact."

"We'll set off the day after tomorrow. I'll arrange the manpower for you. You'll just be in charge of leading the team. You can get some information tomorrow."

boom.

The door is closed.

Zoe slumped back into her chair.

She was confused. She was just here to help with some chores, so why did she suddenly have to take people out for a visit?
What should I do? What if I fail to save Mr. Connor?
Find more channels, get some information, and ask about the situation in mainland China.
Zeus' words suddenly appeared in her mind, and Zoe paused and opened her eyes wide.

Yes, she just got the link and 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 around the room. The team would leave the day after tomorrow, so she could still ask tomorrow. Well, if the link was still working tomorrow.
Zoe's face flushed red. She accidentally got a golden finger, which turned out to be very useful. This, this was simply a plot from a novel!
Hope everything goes well, hope everything goes well, she prayed silently in her heart.

Xius walked slowly in the corridor, and the corners of his mouth couldn't 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 on him.

But that's a matter for the future. Now I should think about how to contact the prince.

If he really seized the airship, he probably wouldn't be able to get it back without showing some strength.

Thinking of this, Xiu Si turned and walked towards the eastern test site.

He planned to ask the Fire Moths how the research on the several projects he had previously dealt with was going. If possible, they might be of great use.

After all, it was a cannon.
