Block 1 is the exclusive area for Philip's high nobles.
There are dozens of independent castles floating on the sea on the northwest edge of the city, connected by floating tracks, and specialized noble steam locomotives busily shuttle between them.
In Raymond's words in his previous life, this castle area is a single-family villa area in the suburbs, where the headquarters of Philip's old nobles gather.
These castle islands have their own independent energy systems and have very high maneuverability. They also have very complete artillery attack systems, and their combat effectiveness is even higher than that of the average "Predator" attack ship.
For hundreds of years, these splendidly decorated ship islands have been transformed and reinforced by generations of veteran nobles, and their combat effectiveness has reached the top level in the Black Sea.
The warship island where these veteran nobles sit is the most important cornerstone of force that supports the entire Philip Territory.
"Yinyue Castle" is located in the southwest edge area of this sea area. It is one of the oldest abandoned castles in this area.
Legend has it that an Earl once died unexpectedly in this castle, and the island became vacant. No one had taken care of it for decades, and it had become rusty. The maritime rails had also sunk to the bottom of the sea due to disrepair.
Isolated from the world.
Tonight, the old castle that had been abandoned for decades was once again dimly lit.
In the quiet night, the sea breeze blew into the neck, making people feel a chill down their backs.
Raymond didn't expect that in this extraordinary era when steam engines were prevalent, he could still experience the drifting feeling of a paddle boat. This small boat was shaped like a Venetian gondola, and was so thin that it seemed like it could be sunk with just a stamp of foot.
It doesn't give anyone any sense of security.
The boat is sailing in the night. When you look up, you can see the stars in the sky. When you look down, you can still see the Milky Way in the sky. The water is so clear that you can see very deep. Occasionally, you can see phosphorescent small fish swimming in the Milky Way, which adds to the beauty.
Magnificent and dynamic light and shadow.
But at this moment, Raymond's heart did not have any leisurely enjoyment of enjoying the beautiful scenery. Instead, he was full of anxiety. This postman's journey was not just about delivering letters, but he might even lose his life.
...
Raymond looked at the ferryman at the stern, who was covered in a black cloak, and frowned slightly.
The aura on this guy's body is very strange. It doesn't make people feel the aura of a living person, but it still allows people to faintly catch some mental fluctuations.
"Is it an agency puppet?"
There are many brave pioneers in the game who have sneaked into Hidden Moon Castle. Although they suffered heavy casualties, they also revealed a small amount of information to the outside world.
Raymond knew that there were many terrifying people in that castle hanging around every corner of the castle at all times...
"If this guy is a machine puppet, he must be acting too real..." He felt a little frightened.
At this time, the ferryman, who had always lowered his head, seemed to notice something. He who had been bending down and focusing on rowing suddenly raised his head.
At that moment, Raymond saw a pair of empty, dark eyes, looking like a zombie.
"He is indeed a puppet...how on earth was this guy manipulated?"
Raymond was not too surprised by the skill of concentration and calmness, and he calmly avoided looking at the ferryman.
He knew that maybe the person manipulating the puppet behind the scenes might also be observing him through those dark eyes.
...
The boat had been away from the shore for a long time, and when he looked back, the huge steel ship island had turned into a black shadow in the night. The boat shook slightly, and when he regained consciousness, Raymond found that he had arrived at a dilapidated pier.
Standing on the pier was a butler wearing a black dress and a top hat, as if he had been waiting for a long time.
He saw Raymond get off the boat, bowed and saluted, showed an exaggerated smile like a clown, and said respectfully: "Dear guest, please wait a moment, the last guest has arrived, I will take you with me
Go in, the party is about to start..."
Raymond nodded expressionlessly, and glanced at the housekeeper before looking away.
Someone is smiling like that at you in the wilderness. No matter how you feel, the smile is a bit sinister. It's like the feeling that the owner of the Longmen Inn warmly invites you to stay in the hotel after seeing the fresh meat.
"There are actually other people coming? It sounds like they are invited guests... Are they friends or foes..." Raymond was a little confused. He thought he was the only one tonight. Although the butler also had some
It was weird, but it also had the aura of a living person, which made him feel inexplicably relieved. At least this castle didn't seem to be completely devoid of living people like the legend said.
Moreover, it sounds like there is a banquet. Could it be that there are many people?
...
The design of Yinyue Castle is unique.
It does not have thick steel barriers built like other ship islands. It looks like an iron turtle floating on the sea. But this place is completely designed to look like a man-made island, with soft sandy beaches.
Dense jungles, unique rockeries, waterfalls that flow all year round, and various birds and animals...all are available.
There is a unique wooden and stone castle on the island, with Gothic spires, battlements that are in dilapidated condition, and gray stone walls covered with vines... There are also several deserted tombs in the garden, and crosses stuck in the mud.
It has tilted, and the content written on the tombstone has been eroded by time and is blurred. On the tall dead trees, there are several black shadows of carrion vultures standing on the lonely branches...
Everywhere in the castle reveals a desolate scene.
...
After waiting for a while,
The orange-red light in the darkness on the distant sea surface is getting closer and closer.
"Is it finally here..."
Raymond knew that this was the oil lamp hanging on the bow of the small boat.
Apparently the last guest mentioned by the butler has also arrived.
The same pointed boat, the same ferryman in black cloak, but the difference is that there is a beautiful woman in a long skirt standing on the bow of the boat.
"Gee... Although this castle is a bit old, the scenery is nice, so it's very suitable for a vacation..."
Before anyone arrived, the sweet laughter arrived first,
Watching the small boat slowly approaching the shore in the night, a hint of caution flashed in Raymond's eyes.
No matter how weird this place looks, ordinary people would never show such a comfortable expression. And this woman seems to enjoy this terrifying atmosphere.
Obviously, she is not simple.
The woman in the red dress only glanced at the housekeeper for a moment, and then rested on Raymond. She said with a charming look: "Little handsome boy, why don't you help me? My skirt has to be dragged into the sea water to get wet.
Already..."
The words seemed to have magic power, making people feel as comfortable as silk. Unconsciously, they wanted to hold on to those delicate hands, as if if they could kiss Fangze, they would die without regrets.
But at this moment, the system beeped, breaking this wonderful feeling.
The confusion in Raymond's eyes disappeared. He looked at the system prompts and his expression changed slightly.
[Ding! ‘Mary Coster’ used the ‘Charm’ skill on you, and you were attacked mentally. 】
[Ding! Due to your extraordinary mental power, you successfully exempted yourself from the 'Charm' skill...]
"Testing?" The strange color in Raymond's eyes disappeared.
He didn't pay attention to the woman in the red dress, she just stood there blankly, like a wooden figure who didn't understand the style.
"Oh, little brother, you are so cruel..."
When the woman in the red dress saw that Raymond was indifferent and showed no sign of anger, an imperceptible sparkle flashed across her crystal eyes. She let out a sweet cry and jumped onto the pier with a strong figure, not looking weak at all.
Obviously she is also an extraordinary person with considerable strength.
When people hit the ground, a faint fragrance hits them.
Under the light, Raymond took a closer look at her appearance, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
This is a woman who is alluring all over her body. She has the tender skin of a twenty-year-old girl, but her eyes are full of the charming charm of a mature woman...
Her appearance can be said to be extremely beautiful,
Her long, wavy black hair fluttered in the air without wind, and her beautiful eyes were like sapphires, containing a breathtaking light. She wore a low-cut fiery red dress, sexy and hot, like flowing flames, and outlined a graceful look.
Graceful and slender figure.
She walked towards her gracefully, like a moving fire spirit.
Raymond couldn't help but look at it a few more times.
This woman gave him a strange feeling.
It can be said unabashedly that this is the kind of peerless beauty that makes people want to press it on the bed and rub it against it the first time they see it.
The strange thing is that her every move and frown is so enchanting, but her body does not reveal the slightest aura of worldliness. Instead, she has the arrogance of an aristocratic self-admirer.
Raymond lost consciousness for a moment.
He looked at the system prompts and found no trace of any mental spell being released.
This woman is probably naturally charming.
...
If it were somewhere else, he might have looked at it a few more times.
But this castle is full of weirdness. The more beautiful the woman, the more dangerous it feels.
"Another spiritual extraordinary? Where have there been so many recently..."
Raymond narrowed his eyes and muttered in his heart.
He found it a bit unbelievable. It stands to reason that psychic supernatural beings are definitely considered a very small group of extraordinary beings. You may not be able to find one among a hundred extraordinary beings. But why have you encountered them so frequently recently?
The woman in the red dress naturally caught the moment when Raymond was distracted, and a seductive curve appeared at the corner of her mouth.
She deliberately moved closer, and even inadvertently made some subtle physical contact.
"Little brother, what's your name?"
She said charmingly: "You can call me Mary, you can call me Countess... Of course, I like to hear a handsome guy like you call me sister..."
"Nicholas Chaos."
Raymond responded lightly and walked away indifferently.
