The first thousand one hundred and sixty-three chapters strange things in the castle
♂? ,,
Dong Yuejun and Li Ruoxin promised Ye Fan that they would come back to have dinner with him in the evening, which made Ye Fan feel a little better.
Returning to the tea room, I saw Ye Lin whispering to Annie.
"What are you whispering about?" Ye Fan laughed.
"Nothing." Annie shook her head repeatedly.
"Something's going on, something's going on." Ye Lin said.
"One is in trouble and the other is fine. What's going on with them?" Ye Fan chuckled and looked at Annie: "Are you embarrassed to talk to me?"
"Huh?" Annie was slightly startled, "Ye, how do you know it's me who wants something?"
"If something happened to her, she would probably have told her when she came in." Ye Fan glanced at Ye Lin and curled his lips slightly.
Although Ye Fan didn't have much contact with Ye Lin, the character of this little woman was clear at a glance.
She is a person who can't hide something and can't contain it. Even if she doesn't say something clearly, she will express it in other ways.
I just thought yesterday that she had a small opinion about herself, so she immediately put down her picks at the auction site and left herself aside to express her dissatisfaction.
And what about Anne?
She is very expressive in terms of emotions, and she dares to love and hate, but when it comes to asking for help, she may have a little difficulty opening her mouth.
Ye Fan could tell that she was a proud little princess. The more she looked like this, the harder it would be for her to seek help.
And you have to do what people want, otherwise it will be easy to get the response of "the honest man will not be criticized".
Ye Fan had a good impression of Annie. When Dong Yuetao made things difficult for her at the auction, she did not bully him, but instead spoke for him.
Just for this reason, Ye Fan was willing to help her.
"Annie, if you really need my help, I would be very honored."
Ye Fan smiled softly, took a sip of tea, and said: "We Chinese people have a tradition of helping others for thousands of years. When I was a soldier in the early years, I admired Lei Feng's spirit very much.
Lei Feng, do you know? He is my spiritual teacher and the idol I pursue throughout my life!"
"..."
Annie naturally knew about Lei Feng, but Lei Feng had been dead for half a century, and she didn't expect that there were still people who admired him so much.
"Ye, I... really need help."
Anne hesitated for a while and finally made up her mind to express her feelings.
"Well, tell me." Ye Fan smiled.
"Our Gulton family is one of the oldest nobles in Europe, with a history of two thousand years."
Annie briefly introduced her family's affairs, and Mark nodded, "Well, I've heard of it."
The Gulton family is one of the few inherited nobles in Europe who still has a fiefdom, and even the royal family does not dare to reduce their titles easily.
It can be seen how influential the Gurton family is.
Of course, the power of the Gurton family has been greatly weakened now, and the assets it owns are probably not as good as those emerging capital industries in Europe.
However, in terms of heritage and influence, the Gurton family is among the best in all of Europe, and even the entire world.
Anne continued: "In the middle of this year, three months ago, something strange happened to our family!"
"What's weird?" Ye Fan was a little curious.
Anne's expression was anxious and a little frightened, as if she had encountered something terrible.
"Our family's fiefdom has a Gulton Castle, which has stood on the Mediterranean coast since the Middle Ages. Our family members have always lived in the castle, with a population of about three hundred.
However, since three months ago, one person has disappeared every week, as if he has evaporated out of thin air. No matter how hard my people search, they cannot find him.
In the second month after that, the number of people disappearing each week increased, ranging from two to five.
And this month, someone disappears almost every day. Even if we install countless cameras in our home, we can't find out how those people disappear!
During this period, the family implemented the method of dividing chakras and living in the castle, hoping that the entire family could investigate.
Two weeks ago, it was our turn for the Guldun people in Rome to enter the castle and live in it. My father was very nervous and hired many mercenaries to live in it together.
However, the way one person disappears every day remains the same!
Some people said that the evil spirits in the castle were causing trouble, so the priest we invited had no effect at all, and even the priest disappeared.
Later, among the mercenaries, someone mentioned China.
He said that Chinese warriors are very powerful, and there is also a Taoist profession that specializes in destroying demons and monsters.
It just so happens that our branch of the family has some business in China that needs to be handed over.
My father knew that I had been very interested in Chinese culture since I was a child and had only learned the Chinese language, so he sent me as a representative to come to China to organize business and seek help from Chinese warriors."
After listening to Annie's words, Ye Fan suddenly frowned, "The person who disappeared out of thin air? Annie, is there no body left? Did we find anything wrong?"
"I...I'm not sure either." Annie shook her head.
"However, at night, external communications in the castle were interrupted. My father, mother, brother, and I were very scared and have been living in a manor ten miles outside the castle.
My father and brother are in charge of the investigation of the castle. I want to go in, but my father doesn’t allow it.”
"This information is too little, how can we attract people to it?" Ye Fan laughed.
"Our family can pay a high fee. It only takes two weeks. Our family is willing to pay 100 million..." Annie said quickly.
Ye Fan's eyes suddenly bulged, "One hundred million? Come on, our family is so rich! If I bring thousands of people over, won't our family be bankrupt?"
"Ye Fan, stop thinking nonsense." Ye Lin on the side interjected: "That means you are strong enough and a member of our military region, so you get this kind of treatment.
According to the reward order issued by the Gurton family, warriors with five times the limit will only have 10 million in labor fees, six times the limit will be 20 million, seven times the limit will be 30 million, and eight times the limit will be 50 million!
One hundred million is already nine times the remuneration of an extreme warrior!"
"hehe……"
Ye Fan twitched the corners of his mouth slightly.
He is originally a warrior with nine times the limit, but his actual combat strength is comparable to that of ten times the limit.
Judging from Ye Lin's tone, it seemed that she had earned it herself.
In fact, you have suffered a big loss, okay?
"Ye, can you help me?" Annie put her hands together on her chest and looked at Ye Fan hopefully.
Ye Lin whispered: "Ye Fan, help her. In the early years, when Yu Yan and I were performing missions in Europe, we received a lot of help from Annie's parents.
They know we are from the military region and will not distrust us."
"This is not a matter of trust or distrust." Ye Fan shook his head and frowned: "My journey of experience has just begun. I just finished the first game and stopped halfway. It doesn't suit my personality!"
"Oh, please help me. Yuyan highly recommends it." Ye Lin took out her mobile phone, "How about I ask Yuyan to talk to me?"
"Well, contact her." Ye Fan was very straightforward.
Ye Lin was stunned for a moment, then she dialed Pan Yuyan's phone with a wry smile.
She finally saw that Mark Ye didn't trust her at all!
Ye Lin had no choice but to call Pan Yuyan.
Ye Fan took the phone and walked aside to talk to Pan Yuyan for a while.
Pan Yuyan smiled lightly and said: "I've heard about this too. Anne invited me to see everything. If you have time, go and visit her house!"
If even this master who is ten times the limit cannot solve it, then the ancient castle of the Gulton family cannot be taken."
She did not ask Ye Fan to go, which made Ye Fan feel very comfortable.
Ye Fan stretched out, "It's not that I don't want to help. You know, I just finished fighting with the ancestor of the Jiang family, and I haven't fully recovered from my injury yet!"
"It's just right, let's just treat it as a vacation." Pan Yuyan covered her mouth and smiled, and then asked: "Is your injury okay?"
"It's okay, but if you don't have a month, you can't even think about fighting against a master who is ten times the limit." Ye Fan shook his head.
"See for yourself. I personally suggest that having a good relationship with the Gulton family will bring a lot of benefits to the future."
Pan Yuyan said: "It is said that the Gulton family... has a medium-sized Wuyuan secret realm, and it is still functioning normally.
No one outside knows what’s going on inside, but if you’re lucky, you might be able to go in and find out!”
"The complete Wuyuan Secret Realm?" Ye Fan was a little moved.
The secret realm of Wuyuan is very attractive to warriors.
So far, Ye Fan has only seen two Wuyuan secret realms, Tianshan Palace and Crystal Island Mansion. The other Wuyuan secret realms are abandoned.
It's just that now that Tianshan Palace is finished, Crystal Island Palace will collapse sooner or later without Wu Yuan's heart.
Strictly speaking, these two Wuyuan secret realms are not big. One is a mountain peak and the other is an island. It only takes Ye Fan a few minutes to visit them.
The Gulton family had a medium-sized Wuyuan secret realm, and Ye Fan immediately became interested.
"Ye Fan, the secret realm of Wuyuan of the Gulton family is said to be able to produce a special spiritual pool. Soaking in it can wash away the essence and marrow, and strengthen the martial body source core or spiritual source core."
Pan Yuyan dropped another bombshell: "We just broke through the nine-fold limit. This is a good opportunity for us!"
"Strengthen the physical source core and spiritual source core?" Ye Fan was slightly stunned.
When he broke through the nine-fold limit, he had already condensed the martial body source core and the spiritual source core. However, this time the battle with the ancestor of the Jiang family caused the martial body source core to rupture and it would take a long time to recover.
If you can really take a bubble bath in that spiritual pool, maybe you can greatly shorten the recovery time, and you can continue to invest in the next stage of your journey!
Moreover, Ye Fan's physical source core and spiritual source core have only just completed their condensation. If the two source cores can be strengthened, it will be of great benefit to Ye Fan's cultivation!
"Okay, I understand." Ye Fan nodded and said with a smile: "Anyway, I have to heal my injuries in the near future. I can't continue fighting, so why not take this time to go to Europe and take a rest."
The battle with the ancestor of the Jiang family damaged Ye Fan's vitality. After these few days of recovery, it would be good if he could exert 30% of his strength.
With 30% combat power, Ye Fan couldn't defeat even nine times the extreme late-stage warriors, so his training journey had to be interrupted.
