Industrial Cthulhu, starting from the island lord

Chapter 301 The last pirate ship, the last pirate.

These tentacles inherited the Pirate King's inability to be harmed. Even Zeus couldn't cut them off, and could only try to move them to a place where they would not get in the way.

Moreover, Zeus always felt that these tentacles might be put to other uses, so he just left them there for now and would deal with them later when he could think of how to use them.

Ken and Jeremiah walked through the tentacles and were shocked to see the islanders turning a blind eye to this.

At first, the two thought these were pipes, but when they heard that they were the monster's tentacles, they were so surprised that they couldn't even close their mouths.

The tentacles are endless and there is no end in sight. How big is this monster?
Jeremiah even felt a little dizzy. He had always dreamed of horrible monsters in the deep sea, but after coming to Castel, he felt that it seemed even more terrifying here.

The monsters in the deep sea will directly reveal all their horrors to you, but Castel
It doesn't seem to have any big problems, but the occasional glimpse of it makes you feel like you're going crazy if you think about it.

The most terrifying thing is that people here turn a blind eye to this.

Those three or four meter tall warriors and the endless snake seemed to be ordinary things. No one was afraid of them and no one cared about them.

If Ken hadn't been by his side, expressing the same exclamation, Jeremiah would have begun to suspect that he was hallucinating.

Where do all these monsters come from? Which ones are the monsters? Is it me or the island that's mad?

They walked all the way to the cathedral, and Jeremiah no longer had the calmness he had before.

Although he still had no expression on his face, his forehead was covered in cold sweat. He was trembling with fear and caution, as if he were a mouse that had accidentally stepped into a cat's nest.

What kind of existence is Castel? Why is he completely different when he comes again?
In Hughes' office, Ken and Jeremiah saw Gaia as soon as they entered the door. She was holding hands and talking with Monica.

Monica had just woken up when the Black Pearl arrived. This was the first time Gaia saw Monica wake up.

The two have always had a good relationship. Previously, Monica, Chloe, and Gaia were famous as the trouble-making trio.

After Monica returned, she kept hiding from Gaia, and Gaia did not take the initiative to meet her until they met after Monica turned back into her original appearance.

Xius didn't quite understand their feelings. He looked at Monica helplessly as she held Gaia's hands with both hands and wiped her tears with both hands.

Anyway, it’s good that they have reconciled now, the only missing one is Chloe. Chloe will come back too, probably.

Jeremiah looked at Monica, who had six arms and a tail, in shock. He rubbed his eyes, his face first showing confusion, and then slowly turning into horror.

"Well, Mr. Jeremiah, this is Monica. She is the banshee, a resident of Castel, and a friend of Ken." Hughes introduced with a bit of amusement.

Jeremiah has already joined the link of worker Hughes and has a close relationship with Ken. Hughes intends to recruit him to join Castel.

Besides, the pirate court of Gem Bay has been destroyed, Jeremiah and his Black Pearl are the last pirates, and Zeus is not worried that he will inform on others.

Although Ken didn't know what Hughes was thinking, since the lord had introduced them, he quickly nodded and said, "Yes, Captain, they have always been here, but they didn't reveal their identities before."

Jeremiah withdrew his gaze from Monica's arm, looked at Ken, then turned to look at Hughes, his face twitched, and he nodded slowly.

The Skitarii saluted and turned to leave. Zeus pointed to the chairs in front of him and said, "Please take a seat. I'm sure you have many questions. I have the same questions. Castel has also lost contact with the outside world."

Ken and Jeremiah looked at each other, and Ken asked impatiently: "Lord Zeus, what happened to Castel? We saw the entire island disappear just like that!" "Yes, Gem Bay is gone too." Jeremiah added.

"This is a long story, and it has to start from Monica's side." He looked at Monica.

After the introduction, Ken and Jeremiah were stunned again.

The two had various speculations about Castel's disappearance, but never thought it would be so outrageous.

The thousand-year-long sacrifice, the pirate king's plan, Monica's accidental acquisition of soul fragments, and all kinds of coincidences pieced together to form this event.

Ken was so excited that he stood up from his chair several times, and his fingers began to tremble when he heard about the dangerous places.

In Castel's long series of experiences, he always moved from one victory to another with luck. If there was any mistake, there would not be the meeting between these few people now.

Jeremiah's gaze towards Monica gradually changed from fear and vigilance to complexity, even mixed with a little admiration.

Pirates also have their own order, otherwise there would not be a Pirate King's Court established on Gem Bay. He respected the Banshee both for her strength and character.

No wonder it is recognized by the islanders.

In addition to the twists and turns of the story, Jeremiah was also shocked by the rapid development of technology on the island.

He actually has some interest in machinery, but his talent is average. However, he is indeed trying hard to learn.

But at this moment he was stunned to find that his learning speed seemed to be slower than the research and development speed on the island.
He had just figured out the steam engine, but Castel's steam engine had already evolved into a noisy machine that could control its own fuel?

This is still the case with Ken teaching him seriously.

Jeremiah suddenly felt a sense of crisis, as if Castel had turned into a huge ship, and he himself was swimming in the sea to catch up, and the ship was going faster and faster.
And then there's Gem Bay.

Jewel Bay, home of pirates.

Jeremiah couldn't explain his feelings towards Jewel Bay. He was a pirate, but that didn't mean he had much friendship with other pirates - the friendship between pirates sounded like a joke.

But pirates who have wandered on the sea for a lifetime also yearn for a home.

No pirate would admit it, but they came together and founded Gem Bay.

Jeremiah was still young, and all he wanted was to go out and explore the world, and be a pirate for the rest of his life aboard his Black Pearl.

But when he knew about the destruction of Gem Bay, he still felt empty inside.

He didn't know what his feelings were towards Gem Bay. He didn't know what he had lost. He just felt a sense of emptiness in his heart and was a little confused.

Can Castel fill this gap?
he does not know.

"Okay, now that all your questions have been answered, it's my turn to ask. Come on, tell me what happened outside."
