Chapter 748
748 Midnight exploration
Link didn’t rush out of the room. Instead, he walked to the window and pulled the curtains open.
It was still gray and silent outside the window. The valley and the ground were the same color, and only the scattered shadows could distinguish the two.
However, if one looked closely, they would notice that some wandering souls, evil spirits, and fallen spirits had started to appear from the dark, wandering around the valley like wandering ghosts.
Link glanced at the clock in the room. It was already eight in the evening.
Link furrowed his brows. He remembered that it was six in the afternoon when he had first entered the castle.
Butler Alfred had only taken him two hours to get here?
Link’s sharp senses picked up something strange. He clicked on the sound bug in his ear and tried to contact Troy, hoping that Troy would give him an exact time.
However, the sound bugs in his ears did not respond to Link’s calls.
master, the energy here has formed a unique turbulence. The signal is distorted by the magnetic field energy, and my signal can not be sent to the outside world. The sound bug explained helplessly.
“What I’m afraid of really happens,” link said helplessly.
He wasn’t worried about his safety after the signal interference, but he was worried that he would be reprimanded or even accused of ” a man’s promise ” when he went out after Helen couldn’t contact him.
Link walked out of the room and looked down the corridor. The straight corridor suddenly began to move as if space itself was distorted.
Link activated the heaven’s son’s insight to take a look. It wasn’t an illusion. Space was really distorted by the huge amount of energy.
Link walked into the corridor without hesitation. A moment later, his back merged with the distorted corridor and disappeared into the darkness.
On the way here, Butler Alfred had introduced the castle to link.
The castle was mainly divided into four areas.
The first was the underground area, which was mainly a kitchen, a variety of equipment rooms, cargo rooms, and a water prison.
The second was the hall on the first floor of the castle. The hall was made up of a banquet hall, a dance hall, and a restaurant. There were also countless small rooms along the three main halls.
The second floor was connected to the third floor by a hanging ladder. There was a terrace, an Observatory, an ecosystem Hall, a library, and a collection room. It was a dazzling array of wonderful things.
From the fourth floor to the top floor was the balcony area, which was also the most dangerous place in the castle. As this place was the closest to the distorted void, it was also the most seriously contaminated. After the wandering creatures absorbed the energy of the distorted void, they mutated and occupied their own territories, preventing the lower-level creatures from entering their own territory. At this point, due to the exaggerated energy and the battle between Carina and Julian with the demons, many areas had completely collapsed. Gravel and buildings were suspended in the air, as if they were separated from the real world of Victoria.
Link wasn’t planning on venturing into the underground.
This was because most of the people here were the castle’s servants and wandering souls. The ones in the water dungeon were the lowest level of fallen, evil, and strange creatures. They weren’t even enough to fill the gaps between Link’s teeth. There were basically no secrets to speak of.
When Alfred, the Butler, told him that there were an Observatory, an ecological Observatory, and a library on the second to third floors, Link’s eyes lit up.
Carina was one of the few big families in Victoria City. The family had a history of hundreds of years, and the ancient castle had an impressive collection of books.
In addition, Karina had studied the power to distort the void and negative energy. She must have a lot of research and files. This was good knowledge for link and worth reading.
Although Link’s body was distorted and his vision was in a mess, he still found the right way based on the scene when he came.
The first place link arrived at was the balcony.
without the guest room and windows, link stood on the balcony and could clearly see the evils and wandering souls outside the castle.
There was a strange aura in the air. This kind of inexplicable aura was constantly affecting people’s minds, which could be seen from the system prompt.
[ the air is filled with strangeness. Your mind has been affected. Negative emotions +2 ]
[ your energy attribute is 325 points. You are immune to negative emotions this time. ]
……
Messages like this kept popping up on the screen. Fortunately, Link’s energy attribute was high enough, so he was basically immune to the negative emotions on the balcony.
The terrace surrounded half of the castle. Link stood on the terrace and looked down. Combining what Alfred had told him, he could imagine the beautiful scenery of the lush valley. Now, there was only decay and eeriness.
As he walked along the balcony, link noticed the change in the air flow under the heaven’s gaze. He could hear light footsteps behind him.
Link didn’t look back. He just whistled casually, and the magic steel ants in his sleeve turned into red Arrows and shot out of the balcony.
in a short while, link had received tens of thousands of experience points. the red arrow returned to link’s body with a red light.
this is strange. The fallen and the evils actually have experience points. Link sighed and walked to the other side of the balcony.
The observatory was connected to the terrace. The dome of the observatory had collapsed, and the vortex formed by the dark aura in the sky was clearly visible. It was deep and eye-catching.
A huge telescope and a celestial orbit instrument were placed in the middle, and the green glass around them added some mystery to the observatory.
In the center of the observatory was a creature that looked like an octopus. It had many tentacles, a huge mouth, and sharp teeth. The surface of its body was blue and red, giving off a terrifying feeling.
Link immediately recognized it as a mysterious creature from the distorted void-the flesh beast. They weren’t demons, but they filled the twisted void. They were terrifying creatures that fed on flesh and blood. They dealt extremely high physical damage and spread mental corruption. Once hit by their mental energy, one would become sluggish and become a meal in the next second.
“Since you’re so lonely, let me help you free yourself.”
As the red arrow peeked out of his sleeve, Link’s body flashed. A moment later, a shrill scream came from the observatory. The sound reverberated through the sky, the castle, and the valley.
The flesh beast died, and its body turned into dust, disappearing from the observatory in a moment.
Link continued forward. Along the way, he encountered many evils and fallen. However, these low-level creatures all turned into Link’s experience points and even gave him the [ Blood Rage ] status.
While link was exploring the castle, in a room on the top floor, Julian returned to his Crow robe form and looked at the crystal ball in front of him. The image inside was link.
“Link, Oh link, what changes will your arrival bring to Victoria City?”
If link was here, he would have noticed that Julian’s voice was different from before. It was slightly hoarse, and black blood vessels had spread from her eyes to her eye sockets, making her look even more ferocious.
