It was as if all the secrets were hidden in a secret place. After Miss Gong Linna's coachman, Mr. Zamas, entered the secret passage, he could feel the mystery of this place.
There were naturally lit white candles on the walls, and there were neatly arranged batmen statues on both sides of the passage. What were batmen statues? They were as tall as humans, with their wings folded, and they were in a half-squatting position.
Looking at the row, he didn't know how many of them there were.
There was also the cold wind that brought a chill. As Miss Gong Linna's coachman, Zamas was also a vampire. However, the strangeness of this place still surprised him a little.
He held the Living Map in his hand, and as he kept moving forward, he kept expanding the road ahead. It was also because of the existence of the Living Map that Zamas could determine whether the road ahead was dangerous or not.
At least, it didn't seem to be dangerous now. However, the speed of expansion of the map seemed to have slowed down.
Previously, the expansion of the unknown area was about a finger's length from his position on the map. However, the current expansion seemed to be about two fingers' length.
Zamas even had an intuition that the expansion distance was still shrinking little by little. It seemed that there was a mysterious force that was resisting the expansion of the Living Map.
Fortunately, from the situation on the [Living Map], the people in the banquet hall still hadn't left, which meant that his actions hadn't been discovered for the time being. It seemed that Ms. Gong Linna was delaying Mr. Varley and others to create more time for herself.
I must do something for Miss Gong. I can't let her down … Zamas thought.
He prayed silently in his heart.
At this time, the expansion of the Living Map suddenly stopped. The map expanded in the direction he was walking and finally stopped in front of a metal door.
When Zamas walked in front of the metal door with doubts in his heart, the expansion of the map still didn't continue. It seemed that the metal door was the end of the map.
But how could there be an end?
Zamas stared at the metal door. It wasn't tightly closed. Instead, there was a crack. It was in a state of being unlatched. There was even a glimmer of light coming out from the crack.
This strange situation made Zamas nervous. He calmed down and then pulled out the kitchen knife from his waist. Then, he put the knife into the crack and slowly pried open the metal door.
— — Why me again?
Mister Kitchen Knife was thinking about this question. He felt that he had been greatly insulted … He was a sharp kitchen knife that had reaped countless lives and been stained with the blood of hundreds and thousands of people. It should have a more honorable use.
"Enough!"
The voice came out of nowhere, startling Zamas. Even his hair stood on end, and a numb feeling began to spread throughout his body.
He stopped and looked around nervously. He lowered his voice and said, "Who is it?! Who's talking? "
"It's me! Open your eyes wide and take a good look at what you're holding in your hand! "The voice sounded again.
"It's you!" At this time, Zamas could not help but be startled. He raised the [Living Map] in his hand a little. "You're talking … Sure enough, maps with magical power are not simple. What are you … A soul sealed in the map?"
Kitchen Knife … Mr. Kitchen Knife was not angry, not angry, not angry. He was really not angry.
It was a sharp kitchen knife, emotionless!
It suddenly broke free from Zamas's palm, and then slipped into the gap of the metal door, leaving this message, "I hate you to death!"
At this time, the coachman was confused … He even opened his mouth. What did he see? The kitchen knife he picked up from the ground was alive?
At this time, Zamas could not help but shiver. Seeing that the kitchen knife had slipped into the metal door, he instinctively stretched out his hand and pushed hard, directly opening half of the door directly. "Wait!"
He said and stepped into the space behind the metal door. At the same time, the neatly arranged half-squatting bat statues on both sides of the wall of the secret passage suddenly opened their eyes.
On the [Living Map], the word "Danger" suddenly appeared.
But the coachman had no time to look at the changes of the [Living Map] at this time, because he had successfully pushed the door open, and at this time, his eyes were attracted by something.
It was a kind of beauty that he could not forget as long as he saw it … It was like a poignant beauty that was deeply imprinted in his soul … It was a beautiful face that was so beautiful.
It deeply attracted everything, and even made him completely forget everything around him … Zamas was absent-minded, and step by step, he walked toward this thing that attracted all of his eyes and consciousness.
"Miss … Miss … Is that you …"
He whispered in a low voice.
At the same time, Mr. Kitchen Knife, who was standing alone, was now tilting his knife sideways. His eyes were on both sides of the blade, so he had to tilt his body to see the thing in front of him.
"Oh my god, what is this —! I, I, I, I, I, I am a sharp kitchen knife! Emotionless! Very powerful! You, you can't scare me! "
Creak … Bang.
The metal door suddenly closed.
…
…
She did not know whether that useless kitchen knife was moving properly again.
Nan Xiaonan was silently calculating the time in her heart … But she did not know whether this kind of calculation of time was useful, because she did not know whether the time in the space inside the chessboard was synchronized with the time outside.
Even before entering the chessboard, she quietly drew the order, but whether it was properly transmitted to the kitchen knife was a problem.
There were too many things she was not sure about … And the unreliable Butler Lesa kept making Nan Xiaonan feel tired.
"Sir, you are going the wrong way … We are going to the [Roaring Forest], not the [Nightmare Swamp]!"
"Oh? Aren't we going to the [Nightmare Swamp]? Are you doubting my memory? "
I am not just doubting your memory, I don't believe in your memory at all … Looking at the direction she was going and the intersection of the light of the slate was constantly expanding, Nan Xiaonan felt really tired.
Maybe the master she had was not this butler, but another master, and the situation would be much better … For example, if she could have a master like Mr. Luo, wouldn't she be happy now?
"Eh? Did something float by just now?"
Nan Xiaonan could not help but be startled at this time. She subconsciously raised her head and seemed to have seen a black shadow passing directly over her head, the speed was very fast … But obviously, this question could not be answered by the butler who could not see the inside of the chessboard.
This made Nan Xiaonan feel very uneasy.
But at this time, the butler began to move again as a servant — apparently, he was thinking about the direction of the mysterious black shadow.
No, if this guy with a bad memory randomly commanded, sooner or later, she would not even know how she died — Nan Xiaonan could not help but become anxious.
She tried to use her legs to resist the force that appeared behind her and kept pushing her forward since she first entered the chessboard space.
Nan Xiaonan resisted at first, but found that it was useless. It was like an adult pushing a child from behind … After several futile struggles, Nan Xiaonan had already given up. Once the pushing force slowly appeared, she simply took the initiative to start moving forward.
But this time it seemed to be different … She actually stopped and did not act according to the master's order!
"How could this be …"
She could not help but become very surprised … Nan Xiaonan waited for a moment and found that she did not continue to move!
While she was very puzzled, Nan Xiaonan even tried to start moving in the opposite direction!
She succeeded!
She didn't follow her master's instructions and moved in the opposite direction. Not only did she not cause the push force to appear, she even succeeded … No, the push force did appear, but as soon as it appeared, it was offset by something, so she was no longer restricted by her movements!
Nan Xiaonan ran for a long distance in one breath. She finally stopped when the distance of her action points was exhausted. She could no longer move forward.
"Is it because of this … slate?"
She subconsciously raised the stone tablet in her hand and carefully observed it … Her intuition told her that it was because she had obtained this stone tablet that she was able to rely on her own will to move freely within a limited range.
"Did I just ask you to move in this direction?"
At the same time, Mr. Butler's voice sounded in Nan Xiaonan's ears again.
She even said without thinking, "Yes, dear sir, you asked me to move in this direction … You see, inside the chessboard, I can only act according to your instructions. How can I run in other directions? Sir, have you forgotten? "
"No, I have no problem … It's indeed in this direction, it's okay."
Seeing that the butler stopped talking, Nan Xiaonan could not help but feel relieved … She was actually a little scared, afraid that the butler would find out that she did not follow the instructions … Would this violate the consistent rules of the chessboard game and attract the attention of the owner of the castle, Mr. Varley, the chessboard holder?
But it seemed that it was because of Butler Lesa's [Good Memory] …
Huh? It seems that I am very lucky this time?
…
…
Indeed, as Nan Xiaonan thought, her card also moved toward the position of [Roaring Forest] at this time.
"Oh? Lesa, are you going to join in the fun? " The owner of the castle looked directly at his butler at this time; he was quite surprised and puzzled.
Mr. Butler looked at the function card in his hand at this time and looked at the position of his servant on the chessboard, showing a look of serious thinking. Finally, in the face of the unchangeable facts, he slowly nodded, "It looks like the situation is like this."
What kind of answer is this?
Mr. Varley couldn't help but shake his head, then said indifferently, "You can do whatever you want … It's rare for you to be so active, I hope you can have fun."
At this moment, Miss Gong Linna's pair of beautiful eyes suddenly looked at the butler and smiled, "Varley, you are really friendly to your butler … I think if it were me, I would be more strict with my butler."
Mr. Varley smiled at this time, "I have always believed that strict management is difficult to make servants happy. If servants are not happy, they will not serve me wholeheartedly. "
Miss Gong Linna smiled noncommittally, and then suddenly flipped open one of the function cards that she had never used before, except for the one that magically resurrected her servants.
The function card disappeared, and a golden light directly entered the chessboard at this time … As for what kind of function card it was, the chessboard did not prompt at this time.
Generally speaking, such unrealistic functions were usually set up as trap cards.
Mr. Varley quickly recalled the contents of all the function cards in the whole box of function cards at this time, trying to find the meaning behind Miss Gong Linna's actions.
Could it be that she drew the class change function card of that profession? If that's the case …
The anxiety in Mr. Varley's heart, for some reason, suddenly began to become strong again … He took a deep breath and then sobered up a little.
He looked at the function card combination in his preparation area, and his anxiety calmed down a lot.
Although he did not draw the Holy Light series function card at the beginning to create the combination of servant and card set that he expected, the current set was also one of his backup plans.
It was almost time to show the power of this invincible card set.
The only troublesome thing was that the servant who got the intermediate poison immunity at the beginning … However, at most, it was just a little troublesome, unless he could get the advanced poison immunity.
At this time, the words appeared on the chessboard.
— — As an experienced adventurer, you have once again received the favor of the Goddess of Luck. Because of your kindness, you have received the protection of nature spirits and obtained poison immunity (advanced).
— — In short, do your best, this is already the highest level of poison immunity.
— — You are really a sinful man.
The owner of the castle couldn't help but stare at the position where these lines of metal text appeared on the chessboard at this time. This was the position where the Boss Luo's card was placed as a servant.
The golden smoke text was so dazzling at this time … It was so bright that the owner of the castle almost felt like he couldn't open his eyes.
Mr. Varley really felt very anxious at this time.
What was this called … As long as you are afraid of something, it will happen?
But that couldn't be … He was the owner of this chessboard, especially since he remembered all the function card combinations in his heart. Although the space of the chessboard was always changing, he knew exactly what would be triggered at the approximate location.
No … Don't panic, it's just poison immunity (advanced). The card set I prepared can still deal with it.
This is just a technical adjustment.
Don't panic!
