Triangle Castle
The castle was very large, ten minutes was not enough for Bai Leshui and Rong Zheng to explore all the places, so Rong Zheng and Bai Leshui only went to the tower and viewed the structure of the entire castle from the highest point. The rest was learned from the NPCs who served them.
The structure of the castle was very strange. Most castles were square. Whether it was for the convenience of sunlight or for beauty, all castles were roughly in this shape. However, this castle was different. Three buildings were connected to form a strange triangle shape. The tower, which was always in the corner, stood in the middle of the triangle, like a prisoner surrounded by three layers of iron walls. Because of this design, no sunlight could shine on the courtyard in the center of the castle, making it look gloomy and terrifying.
The room where Bai Leshui and Rong Zheng appeared was located on the highest floor of the western building.
There were eleven servants in total, led by a woman with a red scarf tied around her neck. She was wearing a black maid outfit, even her apron was pure black, with her pure black hair, she looked like she could blend into the darkness when she stood in the dark. When Bai Leshui muttered, "Is there no servant in this castle ma?", she came out like a ghost to answer Bai Leshui's questions.
No matter what Bai Leshui asked or said, her face did not change at all. She stared at her toes with her eyelids drooping, but answered the two people's words seriously and rigorously, as if she was a machine without emotions, and did not express any doubts or confusion about Bai Leshui's 'not remembering many things'.
Not only her, but also the servants who were lower in rank behind her were the same. There were both male and female servants, all dressed in black servant clothes, making themselves look as dark as crows, with no expression on their faces. Bai Leshui scanned their faces, and was shocked to find that these people rarely even blinked, and were as quiet and solemn as if they were attending a funeral, with a gloomy atmosphere all over their bodies.
Bai Leshui and Rong Zheng asked a lot of questions. In addition to the distribution of the rooms in the castle, they also learned a little about their identities and the name of the woman with the red scarf -
It's a pity that there is not much to know from Hong. Bai Leshui only knows that he is called Mrs. Maud and the name of the castle is Maud.
The steward has always been called Mr. Si.
Hong said that no one except mistress knew Mr. Si's name. They just called him that.
Regarding the castle, Hong did not provide any valuable clues. She just said the castle had existed for many years, long before she was born, she and other servants were all born as servants of Mrs. Maud. Bai Leshui could only guess that this probably meant serving the family for generations ba.
When Bai Leshui and Rong Zheng were talking in low voice, Hong suddenly spoke.
"Mistress," she reminded, "It will be
Bai Leshui: ...
The place for prayer is on the first floor underground, so bizarre a.
"Now?" Bai Leshui asked.
Hong nodded.
Rong Zheng whispered in Bai Leshui's ear: "Ten minutes have passed."
Now it's time for players to go on stage and the game to officially begin.
Bai Leshui understood: "I'll go now."
This is probably the plot setting that the NPC leader needs to carry out ba.
As a person who believes in God, at least he should show some faith.
Bai Leshui was sent to the first floor underground by Rong Zheng and Hong, but only Bai Leshui went in. When Rong Zheng wanted to follow in, she stopped him. She claimed that this was mistress's order, only Bai Leshui could go into the prayer room alone. Even the steward who often eat and live together with Bai Leshui could not follow at this time.
This place would not be dangerous to Bai Leshui, so Rong Zheng naturally let Bai Leshui in alone, but... eat and live together? He likes it.
"How long do you have to wait for prayer?" Rong Zheng asked.
Hong lowered her head and replied: "One hour."
Rong Zheng: "Long enough."
"I'm going to take a walk, you wait here." Rong Zheng said, "If I don't come back in time after an hour, you will take... Madam to the bedroom to rest first."
"Yes." Hong lowered her head and replied. She walked to the door and stood there, looking down at the ground, looking like a loyal guard.
Rong Zheng left here, walked to the courtyard in the center of the castle, and came to the door of the tower. He touched a bunch of keys that had been hanging on his waist. When he went to the tower before, he noticed that the height difference between the inside and the outside was a bit large. Maybe there was a secret room hidden here. As the steward who controlled everything in this castle, Rong Zheng believed that as long as he could find the door, he would have the key to open it.
***
There were a total of fifteen people getting off the boat, including himself.
The player named Huang Pi looked around. He knew that not all players in the promotion dungeon were players. There were also some very real NPCs. In this case, it was hard to tell what their real identities were.
But it didn't matter. Huangp Pi had already made a decision to take the simplest way to pass the level.
Find the treasure and survive for fifteen days. As long as he advance, it doesn't matter how high or low the evaluation is. Anyway, the necessary cards can be purchased in the system mall. So what is the Lord of Darkness? Go f*ck it.
"Brother Huang, what should we do?" Huang Pi's partner Ruan Qing asked carefully. He and Huang Pi are both players of the same alliance. Because it happened to be time to go to promotion dungeon, they simply teamed up together. In fact, the relationship between them is not that close. In a high-difficulty dungeon, having a teammate who knows you and at least won't stab you in the back is much better than having no acquaintances at all.
Huang Pi entered the alliance two months earlier than Ruan Qing, he was considered his senior. When talking, Ruan Qing secretly wanted to listen to Huang Pi's meaning.
"Go to the direction of the castle, circle around a few more times." Huang Pi whispered, "Hope there are no wild animals here. Damn it, this is the kind of place I hate the most."
Even if there are no wild animals, there will be snakes, insects, rats and ants. The biggest feature of wild without many human activities is that there are a lot of small animals.
Huang Pi broke a branch from the tree and used it to dig through the grass to explore the way.
Ruan Qing thought of something, his face was a little ugly, he nodded, and walked into the deep forest with Huang Pi. Following Huang Pi not far away, Ruan Qing quietly glanced at others and found that many people made the same choice as them, groping towards the castle.
Of course, there were also a few people who left in completely different directions. Some were in small groups of three or two, and some were alone. In short, no one had the intention to talk to others.
The island is not very big. At least when on the shore, you can see a castle standing in the highest place in the middle of the island from a distance, but because of the trees, you can only see a corner of the top of the castle.
After walking a few steps forward, they entered the island jungle. Because there was no road, it was very difficult to shuttle in the wild jungle, especially when they had to pay attention to whether there were snakes under their feet or poisonous spiders on the trees, so they moved much slower.
However, it was precisely because of this caution that Huang Pi quickly found some small things.
He leaned over and picked up the dark yellow thing with a lot of mud on it.
It was a pair of glasses. However, the lens had been broken long ago, and one of the temples was broken.
"It should have been here for a while." Ruan Qing leaned over and took a look, pointing to the broken temple and said, "It's all rusted."
Huangpi looked carefully and found that there was a little metal on the temple of the glasses. The original yellow paint had fallen off a lot, and the exposed parts were rusted due to wind and rain.
"It was left by the last batch of people like us." Huan Ppi made this judgment, "This should be considered a clue." After he said that, he stuffed the glasses to Ruan Qing.
Ruan Qing quickly took it, put it away, and followed behind Huang Pi.
Further ahead, there is a small open space. The sun is bright on the grass without trees blocking the view. But the scenery is not so beautiful. The moment they step out of the woods and see the scenery in front of them, even Huang Pi, who has walked through horror style dungeons, is stunned.
Ruan Qing only looked out and his face turned pale. He turned his head away tremblingly not daring to look anymore.
In an open space as big as a playground, there are dozens of tall crosses. Some are empty, but more are hung with corpses. Their necks are tied with ropes, their hands are tied to the racks, and their clothes have long become rags, swaying with the wind.
"Really f*ck it." Huang Pi's voice was trembling, "This time it is definitely the most difficult among difficult ones."
Ruan Qing: "Brother Huang?"
"Treasure hunting? It's just for us to sacrifice ba." Brother Huang said angrily, "There are exactly fifteen crosses without people hanging on them."
Don't tell him it's just a coincidence.
In these games, there is no such thing as coincidence.
The sound of swishing in the bushes, accompanied by a little unclear footsteps, startled the two men and made them alert. Then, less than a hundred meters away from them, two people rushed out of the bushes. The one in front cheered happily: "Finally out, hahaha, I knew I would never get lost this time."
"Go straight to the top of the tower. If you get lost again, I will believe you are blind." The girl behind the man said.
Then the two looked up and saw a terrifying scene that should be mosaiced.
The man was so scared that he immediately hid behind the girl. The girl glanced at him calmly, then pulled the man's clothes, pointed to Huang Pi, telling him that there were two people over there.
The man turned his head and met Huang Pi and Ruan Qing's eyes, scratching his face awkwardly.
Shi Qiu would never admit that he was the cowardly man just now.
"That... hello?" Shi Qiu greeted with a smile.
Huang Pi ignored him, but Ruan Qing smiled at him politely.
"They don't want to pay attention to you." The girl said expressionlessly.
Shi Qiu: "Third sister a,
Girl: "Let's go ba."
Shi Qiu nodded, carefully pinched the corner of third sister's clothes, controlled his eyes not to look to the left, and walked towards the castle in a big circle.
Huang Pi smacked his lips: "Let's go, speed up."
It will be dark soon.
Wandering around on the wild island at night is definitely the most suicidal behavior.
The author has something to say:
At this time, the prayer room in the basement.
