Raymond thought that this "Hidden Moon Castle" should be a dangerous trip to the tiger's den in Longtan, but from the time he got off the boat to the time he walked to the gate of the castle, the atmosphere was much more harmonious than expected.

At least the kind old butler who led the way in front always had a respectful smile on his face, and he shouted and killed without coming up.

Even the Countess Mary, who was full of charm from top to bottom, did not show any malice except for the occasional teasing of herself.

"I'm just a messenger..."

Raymond was really confused.

When he was led to the gate of the castle by the old butler, he handed out the letter, which was miraculously like magic paper, and burned in his hand and turned into a gilded invitation.

In this way, he was invited as a "guest" to participate in this bloody feast of horror.

......

When the gates of the Hidden Moon Castle opened, Raymond was really shocked.

He thought he would see a "haunted house" scene, cobwebs, cold fireplaces, broken glass, rotten wooden furniture, bones...

But the reality is very different!

This castle looked dilapidated on the outside, but the interior of the house was so golden that it almost blinded his titanium eyes. Sixteen tall snow-white Roman columns support the whole palace-like banquet hall, the top is an eight-pointed star-shaped hollow dome, decorated with exquisite yang carvings and flower reliefs, you can see the vast starry sky through the glass of the roof when you look up, the whole hall is brightly lit, and the gorgeous crystal lamps are like shining gold scales, like a luxurious scene of a lively court banquet.

While Raymond was amazed by the gorgeous decoration of this ancient castle, he didn't expect that there would be so many people here!

Dozens of girls in black and white maid dresses are constantly shuttling through the hall with delicious food and wine...

In the center of the hall sat a marble round table full of rare delicacies, and at this moment sat five out of place fellows who seemed to be the "guests" of the banquet as if they were themselves.

Raymond looked at the entire hall quietly, and didn't see where these agile girls looked like puppets.

They are all flexible, and even the subtle nervousness on their faces is vivid, and their double crystal eyes are even more humble and cautious, if they are puppets, their expressions are absolutely impossible to be so realistic.

"These maids are the fierce puppets that the game's wilderness players say?"

But whoever sees a ruined castle in the wilderness will be alert.

No one has set foot here for decades, so where did so many living people come from?

Raymond was still in disbelief, he wanted to convince himself that all he saw were human puppets who had been overpowered, but these maids were exactly like real people.

At this moment, Mary, who was beside him, seemed to see Raymond wandering, and suddenly grabbed Raymond's arm.

"Gurgle... Little handsome guy, so you like these young maids? ”

She seemed to be apprehensive and said, "Ouch, do you dislike my old pearl yellow?" ”

Raymond felt the soft sinking sensation in his arm, and there was a slight strangeness in his heart. In order to maintain his "cold" image, he didn't talk much.

However, I really want to say that this Mary's skin can be broken by blowing, and the tenderness is definitely not inferior to that of any girl present.

This glamorous countess actually succeeded in attracting everyone's attention as soon as she entered the room, and her flaming red dress seemed to be about to burn under the dazzling light, and gradually became looming, and the perfect carcass actually appeared in the eyes of everyone half-concealed, and her graceful posture was fully revealed.

"Did this woman do it on purpose?" Raymond didn't squint, but he secretly said something bad in his heart. He had already noticed that when the men at the round table looked away from Mary, they naturally looked at him with a hint of hostility.

Obviously, these people took him as Mary's companion, and even as a lover.

The round table was equipped with seven chairs, and there were already five people seated.

Raymond glanced at it slightly, and the faces of several people seemed to be somewhat impressed, but he didn't think about it for a while.

A scruffy pirate with a pirate hat and lush chest hair...

A little Lori wearing dirty pigtails, who looks like she is about eight or nine years old, looks like a lost child from someone's house...

A lewd man with dark circles under his eyes who was always staring at Mary's chest...

A fat nobleman like a white pig, always eating...

The last one seemed to be napping all the time, and even when Raymond and the others sat down, he just raised his eyelids...

"It seems that these guys are not some of the most famous NPCs in the game, otherwise they should remember the name..."Raymond muttered to himself, and the maid beside him had already pulled out a chair and motioned for him to sit down.

Raymond and Mary sat next to each other, and the seven guests had arrived, and the light in the room suddenly became gentle.

The butler still had the same smile that had not changed for thousands of years, and announced to everyone: "On behalf of the 'master', I welcome everyone to the Hidden Moon Castle... Next, I hope you can have a wonderful night together..."

With that, he snapped his fingers, and a new group of maids streamed in from behind the curtain, bringing each of the seven people present a silver plate of appetizers.

When I lifted the lid, I saw that it was a whole piece of blood-drenched raw meat.

The seven people at the table did not speak, and none of them were surprised, but looked at each other.

Raymond wanted to see and see the depth of these people, so he simply gave up. With great interest, he flicked the portion of food on the plate on the table, which I don't know what creature had been mutilated into pieces.

Blood was dripping with blood, and even the unknown piece of flesh was still writhing slightly, as if it had just been cut down.

"Huh... Could this be the legendary premium ingredient? ”

Raymond looked closely, and the name of the food was displayed on the plate [Hagfish Sashimi].

"Tsk... This is a rare species that is said to be found in the sea at depths of more than 3,000 meters... Except for the tsunami or something, I can't buy it with more money on weekdays..."

Although Raymond is a little disgusting to watch, this thing that looks like a human arm is the top ingredient in the game that is bought with cash.

He hesitated for a moment, then picked up the knife and fork expressionlessly, and directly cut a piece of it in his mouth and chewed it.

Good taste with slightly chewy texture.

The plasma is also like mint water, and it is full of fragrance in the mouth, which instantly makes people feel refreshed.

【Ding! When you take 'Deep Sea Hagfish', your mental power will be permanently +10, and your mental power perception will be +200% for 24 hours...]

"Sure enough, it's this thing!" Raymond heard the system prompt, and he was sure.

Deep-sea hagfish are extremely rare marine creatures. They don't have eyes, but they have a strong sense of perception, and it's also a top-notch ingredient for boosting mental power!

In the game, the same ingredient will only add a lot of attributes for the first time, so in order to improve the attribute dimension, local tyrant players will try their best to buy a variety of top and scarce ingredients. This hagfish was a scarce ingredient on the bounty list until the later stages of the game.

Raymond remembers the things on the bounty list very clearly, this one was worth five thousand dollars in his previous life. In the real world of great navigation, the price is only high, not low, and whether you can eat it depends on luck.

I didn't expect the host of this banquet to be so generous, and the appetizer came so big... Tsk, rich and rich!

"However, the spiritual perception has doubled in twenty-four hours... That's kind of intriguing..."

Raymond looked at his [Hostility Perception] skill, and indeed because of this temporary state increase, the perception range could not be increased by a small amount.

Tonight is destined to be a Hongmen feast, and if it is poison, he still has some figured it out. But the owner of this place actually sent such food with temporary increase in attributes as a "capital enemy"... That's a bit strange. Apparently ulterior motives.

It was Raymond's greedy action that made the other six people on the table look at him with a little surprise.

Such a strange castle, such bloody and suspicious food, this guy actually said he would eat it?

At this moment, his extraordinarily bright bald head, not only did not give people a funny feeling, but with his indifferent face, it actually gave everything an unpredictable sense of coldness.

At this time, the aristocratic fat man who had been eating non-stop just now also opened his mouth with a smile and said, "Little brother is so courageous!" I didn't even recognize this 'hagfish' at first sight..."

As he spoke, he also pried a lump into his mouth and chewed it vigorously.

Several other people had obviously heard of this kind of thing, and there was a strange color in their eyes.

The "hagfish of the deep sea" is a great tonic for the spiritual transcendent, and it is hard to find.

They watched Raymond and the others eat nothing serious, and they both moved their knives and forks curiously.

Even the Countess Mary beside her gracefully picked up her fork and chewed it slowly.

......

"These guys... It's not easy. Raymond ate by himself, and took in everyone's expressions.

In fact, he is not afraid of food poisoning, after all, this is the world of transcendentals, and the effect of toxins in the middle and late stages is very limited.

High-level transcendents have extremely strong perception, and their toxin resistance will also be greatly increased. Most toxins can't hide from their senses, and it's almost impossible to rely on toxins to win. Even if they swallow it in their stomach and feel the slightest abnormality, they can spit it out with their ability wrap intact.

In addition to being a sequence 9 rookie at this table, several other people at this table are experienced transcendents at first glance, and the "host" of this banquet wants to use his hands and feet on the food, and the means are very imbecile.

Of course, the most important thing is that he is really greedy.

This kind of top-notch ingredient with such a large increase in attributes may not be able to be eaten in a lifetime, and now it is a fool to eat it for yourself, not to eat it!

Let alone...

To play the game, you have to follow the rules set by the "master", otherwise it will be easy to disrupt the plot...

Raymond squinted, a thoughtful glint flashing in his eyes.

......

"The taste of hagfish is really a must, the last time I ate it, it was twenty years ago, I didn't expect to eat it again today... Tsk, it's not in vain that I ran so far, this trip is worth it! ”

The aristocratic fat man smacked his lips, like Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit, and ate the whole arm-thick hagfish in three or two bites.

He looked greedily at the little Lori with pigtails who didn't use the knife and fork much, his little eyes flashed with a shrewd gaze, and he asked greedily: "Little sister, you can't finish eating, uncle will help you eat?" ”

Without waiting for an answer, he unceremoniously stretched out his fat hand like a pig's trotter to grab the plate.

"Get out!"

A loud shout.

Everyone didn't expect that little Lori would be so irritable, and in an instant, the whole little face was distorted together, looking very hideous. When she saw the fat hand reaching over, she grabbed the silver fork on the table and slammed it against it. The force was so great that even the fork was pierced deep into the thick marble tabletop.

If it weren't for the fat man's lightning withdrawal, I'm afraid he would have to directly penetrate a few blood holes this time.

Seeing this scene, the fat man squinted, a cold light flashed, and he screamed: "Ouch, the little girl has a really big temper and is uneducated... Your parents look like they're too..."

There was obviously a deliberate hint of provocation and temptation in this tone.

Sure enough, before she could finish speaking, suddenly the little girl seemed to sting something. She showed signs of rampage in an instant, grabbed the chair behind her with her backhand as a weapon, and slashed it directly!

"Click!"

The heavy solid wood chair was smashed to pieces, and sawdust flew everywhere.

What is surprising is that the fat man actually stood still and resisted this blow.

When the chair was broken, he calmly pushed the wood chips on his head to the ground, and sneered with a sneer: "Hey, hey... Little girl, it's rude to do it like that... If you don't know, you'll be eaten..."

Whoever heard this had an eerie menace.

"Oh? Lily wants to cut off your pig's head and make an ugly doll..."

Little Lori is not to be outdone, grinning with a mouthful of small white teeth and smiling very penetratingly. Even though her body is not as good as one-tenth of the fat man, her momentum is not weak at all, and she even faintly exudes excitement.

"A grumpy little girl, a greedy fat man with amazing defense... Looks like tonight is really dangerous..."Raymond stripped some useful information from the behavior of the two, and faintly related it to some plot tasks in his memory.

......

The atmosphere of the banquet suddenly became tense, and the fight was about to start immediately.

At this moment, someone suddenly opened his mouth to dilute the strong smell of gunpowder.

"I said... Wouldn't it be better for everyone to enjoy the dinner? I'm going to fight in a while, and I'm sure I'll have a chance to do it..."

The guy who had been napping with his cheeks on his cheeks even eating, suddenly opened his eyes and said weakly, "Haven't you noticed anything strange about the place we're staying in now?" ”

"Weird?" Raymond took a look. He thought this guy was talking about weird banquets and these maids, but he didn't expect that people weren't referring to this at all.

The man said lazily, "You don't think we're still in the castle, do you?" Gee... When the last two come in, the mechanism kicks in... We, along with the entire ballroom, sank below sea level. ”

There was no simple guy present, and as soon as they made a slight observation, they naturally found clues.

Except, of course, for Raymond, a rookie who doesn't have a clue at all.

"Sunk to the bottom of the sea? Isn't this the same banquet hall as before? Raymond muttered in his heart, and glanced at the glass dome above his head, still the beautiful starry sky...

Hey, the starry sky hasn't moved at all!

He finally noticed something strange too.

What's more, what's even more weird is that all the maids in the house also seemed to have been immobilized, and they all stopped there, and even their expressions froze at the last moment.

This strange scene makes people's scalps tingle.

"Just enjoy the dinner arranged by the 'host', why be so anxious.."

At this moment, the old butler's voice sounded faintly from his back, and the listeners were terrified.
