London, British Empire.

Like London in the real world, the London in this world is often rainy and rainy at every turn, and the same is true today, the fine and continuous rain lasts from morning to afternoon, and when you look out of the window, the whole London is gray, and people can't mention anything too high-natured.

In a detached white mansion in London, on an ivory-white Victorian-style sofa, a charming and languid voice is heard.

"It's really boring~" the voice said, "Gao Ming, can't I hook up with those nobles and magicians?" ”

What is more eye-catching than the voice is the fiery red hair and red lips, and what is more sexy than the fiery red hair is the fair skin and fiery body.

Gao Ming, who had transformed himself into a handsome black-haired man of Italian origin, was reading a book by the fireplace, looking quite pedantic, and raised his head when he heard the woman, that is, Butterfly, say this.

"As long as you don't get me into any trouble, don't make a magician disappear or a nobleman dies mysteriously, then I don't have a problem."

"If you don't have an opinion, doesn't that mean you don't agree?" Butterfly pursed her lips disdainfully, suddenly remembered something, turned her head and asked, "When will our new team member, who has barely appeared, arrive?" ”

"New members?" Gao Mingleng paused, and then realized that he was talking about Zhou Chu, so he replied to Butterfly, "It's almost there, but he seems to have some things to do halfway." ”

"It's undisciplined." The butterfly snorted and curled up on the couch again.

"Anyway. Without him, there's nothing wrong here. Gao Ming put down the book, "Speaking of which, he has done a great favor this time, and the vampires can already be regarded as allies." ”

"Speaking of which, there's a little more ability?" The butterfly seemed to be interested, got up from the couch again, and looked at Gao Ming. "Give me his mailing number. And where will he stop halfway? ”

Gao Ming subconsciously wanted to refuse, but he stopped, thought for a moment, and looked at the butterfly.

"Good. I'm telling you. Other than that. It might be a good idea to let you pick him up by the way. ”

At this time, Zhou Chu and others. Also over the continent of Europa, driving for a while.

Zhou Chu also understands the airship made by magic technology that is unique to this world, and this huge, like a ship's float boat, uses magic as an energy source, simulating a driving force similar to steam power, and with the understanding and use of wind and air in magic, the spells of magic spells are transformed into magic circle runes and lines, and carved on the hull, so that the float can fly in the air.

As for the speed, of course, it was not comparable to a real airplane, but it was also faster than the steam-powered trains of the same era, and it was not limited by the route, so it was only a few days before they were already very close to the border of the Duchy of Capes.

Noorlister, this is their destination.

Judging from the map, combined with the map impression that is similar in the real world, the Noorliste of the Duchy of Capest corresponds to Spain and Madrid in the real world.

Madrid, Spain.

Thinking of this, Zhou Chu, who was standing at the bow of the boat, subconsciously tilted his head, and a very strange feeling came out of his heart.

Because Madrid in Spain, as well as Barcelona, are the places he once dreamed of going, and now, although it is not Madrid in the real world, but it is the same place in another world thousands of years ago, this can be regarded as a dream in disguise, it stands to reason that he should feel happy or joyful, or sigh and sad.

But he didn't have any emotions, and it was this calmness that caused that weird feeling to come to him.

But again, such a weird feeling should not be there. But it still appeared, and this feeling made Zhou Chu feel very uncomfortable.

Could it be that the so-called inner demons are not dead?

This is not good news. It's not a good speculation either.

But I can't confirm it, so let's leave it at that.

Putting these thoughts aside, Zhou Chu began to think about the plan and purpose of this time.

Noorlist, or rather, the Duchy of Capes, is nominally a principality, but in fact, it is a field of contention, and the three major countries of Europe, the British Empire, the Holy Roman Empire, and even the Pantheon of Northern Europe, are eyeing the central zone that happens to be in the midst of several major forces, and the Duchy of Capest is the most central and central position in this region.

It is also because of this position that the Duchy of Capes has such a title.

A kingdom of kings.

Looking at the guard tower on the border of the Principality of Capes, which was slowly approaching in the distance, Larmi walked to Zhou Chu's side, put his hands on the guardrail, and looked at the ground under the floating boat.

"Although I know that this is not a leisure trip, I still have some expectations."

"Looking forward to it?" Zhou Chu turned his head and looked at her.

"O kingdom of kings." "Even in this day and age, it is unlikely that you will see vampires and humans living in peace, nor will you be able to see magicians and churches having a good time, and every race and nation in this world, and every race and nation in this world, and every race and nation in this world, and religion and religion, are in a state of long-term hatred and hostility against other races and nations, religion and religion." ”

After saying these words, Ralmi stretched her finger to the spire of the border line that was getting closer and closer in the distance.

"Only here can you see humans living in peace with vampires in the truest sense of the word, magicians talking with priests, visitors from the East and warriors from Northern Europe drinking and merrymaking, at least in the closest sense of harmony and peace, and the reason for all this is ironic......"

"What is the reason?"

"They need it here." Ralmi smiled, with a mocking arc, "This is the most important strategic geographical location in the entire European continent, but the original king of the Principality of Capes made a shrewd decision, who can obtain the friendship of the Principality of Capes. Whoever can send troops here, so in order to obtain this rare 'friendship', no one will turn against their enemies here, because that means that you will lose the right to stay here, and then for hundreds of years, together with the nearby countries, this place will evolve into the most peaceful and prosperous peace zone on the entire European continent, where the most races gather and gather. All undercurrents. It was all only in the midst of banquets and singing and dancing, there were no wars, no disputes, and although the intrigues and rivalries were still going on. But that's evolved into a game for the upper echelons. For the lower classes of the people. This means ......"

"Heaven."

Zhou Chu took over, according to Ralmie, this should be regarded as a permanent neutral Switzerland. No one can really win this area, but they still have to compete for the weight of the right to speak in this area, and no one can break this rule, because the rules have been formed, and those who break them will inevitably face retaliation and attacks from those who abide by the rules.

"But what about back then?" Zhou Chu quickly thought of the crux of the matter, "When the king of the Principality of Capes, no, it should be the Grand Duke, made a decision, what was the guarantee that his decision was not opposed and attacked? ”

The establishment of absolute power and order, the initial source, is always the absolute force, if there is no strong force as a guarantee, then any decision, will be destroyed at the moment of threat to the immediate interest, so the Grand Duke of the Principality of Capes, and the first king, when making this decision, he must have something to rely on, and what is his reliance?

"Relics of the Gods." Ralmi replied to the question, "I was still researching and being curious, but after you said that to me, I finally understood that this was not a relic of a god, but an arrangement made by the self-consciousness of the Nightmare World, and the royal family of the Duchy of Capes were not descendants of gods, but some kind of awakened people similar to us. ”

The relics of the gods, which are unique to the territory of the Duchy of Capes, were made public by the Grand Duke of the Duchy of Capes, who made such a declaration.

It turns out that in the territory of the Duchy of Capes, there will be some mysterious and ancient ruins from time to time, in these ruins, there may be some races and civilizations, or huge wealth and treasures in mythology, or some powerful ancient artifacts are buried, or there are fierce monsters and monsters lurking, and these wealth and treasures, artifacts, their real location in the ruins, only people of the royal blood of Capes, can inspire and let the treasures of these ruins appear, and the Grand Duke of the Duchy of Capes, It was to open one of the ruins, and to master an army of angels that even the Holy See could not possess at the time, as well as a powerful dagger.

It was with this angelic army and dagger that the Grand Duke of the Principality of Capes was able to carry out his decision, and after that, the descendants of the royal family of Capes, more or less, discovered or mastered the secrets and power of the ruins, thus turning this area into a neutral zone that was truly close to the absolute sense for a long time.

The ruins that appear from time to time, the various artifacts and treasures that are hidden, the wealth, or the foreign objects, which can only be opened and activated by certain people, do not need to think about it, it must be the work of the self-consciousness of the Nightmare World, and its purpose?

Although he was still not sure, the scene he saw in Silent Hill made Zhou Chu feel that its purpose seemed to be collecting something, and this "what", although Zhou Chu did not know the way and could not be sure, must be related to the current situation, or more directly - whether it is the British Empire with magicians and knights as the core, or the Nordic tribal alliance with strong combat and huge personal force, or the Holy Roman Empire that believes in the only god, the heretical vampire country, None of them can truly become the ruler and overlord of the European continent, and the biggest reason is not any problem or strength, but because of the self-consciousness of the Nightmare World.

It needs to be like this, and that's how it is. (To be continued......)
