13 Mink Street

"Captain, is that the building?"

"Ginkgo leaves are red?"

"Dark Moon Island is a bit special here, and many things we already have established knowledge will appear different here."

"Yes, let's take a closer look first."

Neo and Karen walked past the villa as if they were taking a walk.

The garden of the villa is very large, filled with ginkgo trees, and the dark red leaves are spread on the ground, creating a very beautiful atmosphere.

At the gate of the courtyard, stood two warriors in armor.

Karen noticed that there were five crescent moon marks on the armor of the two warriors.

This is the family crest of the Dark Moon Clan. According to bloodline level and family closeness, family servants have one crescent moon to seven crescent moons. Only the patriarch of the full moon can wear it.

The two warriors guarding the gate were actually equipped with five crescent moons, which is enough to show the respect of the status of the owner of the villa.

You know, Ophelia's entourage is not such a luxurious configuration.

Obviously, the captain also noticed this. The two pretended to pass by the door. After turning a corner and entering the blind spot, the captain licked his lips and said:

"Things are going to be difficult. The people living here must not have a low status in Dark Moon Island. Moreover, I smelled a salty smell from those two warriors. They should have just returned from the sea."

"Captain, can you smell this?"

"I will never forget the smell of being soaked in sea water in my whole life. Also, have you noticed the green bricks on the roof? It is a simple magic circle, which can dry the inside of the house when it is activated.

Although it is running now, there is a layer of dust on it, obviously it has just started not long ago.

Karen, our luck seems to be a little bit bad. If we came one day earlier, the villa might still be vacant for the time being.

Now, the current owner of the villa has returned. "

"Captain, I have some information to report."

"you say."

"It is possible that the owner of this villa is the commander of the fleet off the coast of Dark Moon Island, General Tuffman, and he is Miss Ophelia's uncle."

"General Tuffman, I know this person. When I came here, I collected some information on Darkmoon Island. This person had a chance to compete for the position of the Patriarch of Darkmoon, and his reputation was once higher than that of Miss Ophelia's father. , but he doesn't like being the patriarch, and prefers to lead the fleet to gallop on the sea, so he voluntarily gave up the position of patriarch.

There are also some materials that show that this is a very delicate and perverted person. "

"Exquisite and perverted?"

"Yes, his standard of living has always been very high, and most of the time he would create conditions for himself to eat well and sleep well. Even when he was fighting pirates, he would directly execute his waiter because he didn't wake up enough with a glass of red wine. This is very similar to you."

"How is it like me?"

"Another point is that he likes to invent torture to torture his captives. Because of his appearance, the problem of pirates in the outer seas that has been plagued Darkmoon Island has been greatly alleviated."

"Captain, are we going back to the hotel now?"

"No, no, no, you can't take a trip in the middle of the night."

"You still want to go in?"

"Yeah, that's exciting and interesting, isn't it?"

"Captain, if one day you feel that you have nothing to love in life, and you find yourself thinking of committing suicide, please tell me in advance."

"No, if you can't find out in advance, then die with me."

"..." Karen.

Neo turned sideways, looked towards the direction of the villa, and said: "If it is really the general's villa, tonight may be a really good opportunity. If he doesn't come back, there may be some kind of powerful formation in the villa all the time. Once the formation is touched, it will inevitably alarm the people of the Dark Moon Clan nearby.

Now that he is back, many formations should have been closed at this time. "

"Captain, you just regretted not being able to come a day earlier."

"It's okay, sometimes the reason is just to serve your own preferences, you can choose to use it."

Neo took out a black gauze from his cuff, handed it to Karen, and then tied it up on his own face, revealing only a pair of eyes.

Karen found that the captain's movements were extremely familiar.

"The mask can no longer be worn, so use this as an emergency. Oh, yes, remember that when you sneak in later, if something happens and you need to do it, you must not use the magic of order, but use the power of light."

"I see."

"Well, let's sneak in from the side, by the way, how good are your bright spells?"

"fine."

"What do you mean by okay?"

"Looking through it at breakfast."

"Damn it."

"Shells can't be used inside. The yard should be fine. After entering the villa, don't use spells unless necessary."

"clear."

Neo led Karen to the side of the other garden. Before going further, Neo stretched his arms and chanted:

"Light—Shado-Pan coverage."

In an instant, Neo's figure became transparent, using the principle of light refraction to make himself invisible.

Neo patted Karen with his hand, and the effect of this spell also transferred to Karen.

Two "invisible people" slowly approached the edge of the other garden.

Through the fence, one can see warriors patrolling inside, but there are not many of them. After all, this is Darkmoon Island, the old lair of the Darkmoon Clan, so it is obviously safe here.

Of course, it also shows General Tuffman's self-confidence from the side. If his own strength is strong enough, the guards around him often only play the role of a servant and a guard of honor.

Taking advantage of the two warriors patrolling past, Neo first climbed to a nearby tree, quickly stepped on the branch and jumped, jumped over the courtyard wall and came to the other garden.

Karen looked up at the tree next to him, and then at the trunk. The Sea God Armor appeared on his body. The Sea God Armor combined with the power of the ancestor Allen's water system obtained from the symbiotic relationship of Pu'er, gave Karen great agility blessing.

After climbing up the tree, stepping on the branches, he jumped, and turned over in the air for a week and a half before landing.

Neo signaled Karen to follow him. He didn't choose to approach the villa first, but turned to the depths of the ginkgo tree. After pulling away the leaves on the ground, an iron cover was exposed underneath, rotated and opened, and Neo jumped. go in.

Karen went down sideways first, grabbed a handful of leaves and sprinkled them upwards, and then closed the iron cover to cover it as much as possible.

Below is a cellar, but probably because the owner is not often at home, there is not much food stored.

Neo walked through the cellar, turned in the same direction, and led Karen into the cellar.

Karen knew that it should be after the captain came to this environment that the memory of "it" began to be gradually triggered.

There is a lot of wine in the wine cellar. Darkmoon Island's red wine is a hot item. You can't buy it with Rael in Wayne, so you can only buy it with coupons.

There is a step at the end of the wine cellar. Go up and there will be a door. If there is no accident, the inside of the villa will be behind this door.

Neo closed his eyes, sensing the situation outside the door, while Karen was waiting beside him.

Immediately, Neo made several consecutive gestures to Karen, meaning turn left and go up the stairs after going out.

Karen nodded to Neo, indicating that he knew.

Neo quickly opened the door, and Karen rushed out immediately, turned left, and went upstairs directly. The entrance to the wine cellar is next to the stairs, so the whole process is very convenient. After reaching the second floor, Karen saw the bathroom door was open , just hid in.

Soon, Karen saw a figure coming to the second floor through the corner of his eye, and went straight up to the third floor.

Captain, why don't you make it clear!

However, just as Karen was about to leave the bathroom and go up to the third floor, footsteps came from outside.

As a last resort, Karen could only retreat to the bathroom. To be on the safe side, he hid behind the bathtub curtain and stepped on the edge of the bathtub with the soles of his shoes.

Two maids came in, one of them was washing his hands, the other was loosening his neck.

"Let's go, and continue to serve the general and His Highness."

"Um."

Thankfully, they didn't use the restroom.

After they left, Karen came to the door of the bathroom again. After confirming that there was no one outside, she walked out of the bathroom and quickly went up to the third floor.

But the doors of all the rooms on the third floor were tightly closed, and Karen had no idea which room the captain was in.

Study room, study room, yes, generally speaking, secrets will be placed in the study room.

The location of the study is usually at the end of the corridor, but which side is it?

Although the villa was cleaned very cleanly, the owner didn't live there often, and he might only come back every few months or even half a year, so there were no clear traces of life.

Karen could only choose to gamble. He ran to the sunny room on the left, opened the door, and walked in. It was definitely a study room, but there was no one there.

Obviously, the captain is not here.

Karen could only carefully open the door of the room again. He hoped that the captain at this moment would do the same, and then saw the captain waving to him from a gap in the opened door.

Unfortunately, this scene did not happen.

At this time, there were footsteps on the stairs again, and the footsteps were also coming towards the study where he was.

Karen could only hide behind the curtains again. Fortunately, there was a small platform in the window behind the curtains, and Karen could sit on it.

A maid came in, put tea and snacks behind the desk, turned on the lamp, and walked out.

When Karen was about to sneak out and try his luck in another room, he heard footsteps again when he arrived at the door of the study, this time two people.

Karen could only choose to return to his original position and sat on the windowsill.

The study door was pushed open.

"How was dinner?"

"Thank you uncle for specially preparing the turtle eggs for me. They are delicious."

"Because I know you like to eat this since you were a child. You know, every time I find this kind of turtle in the sea, I will mark it in advance, and I will send warships to attack when I want to go ashore. Only in this way can we guarantee The turtle eggs obtained are fresh enough.

In fact, the best flavor is eaten directly with a spoon when it is first obtained at sea, without even cooking, it is still warm, at most sprinkle a little salt on it, the taste is really delicious. "

"Since I was a child, I have been begging my uncle to take me to sea, but my uncle never agrees."

"Because you were still young at that time, I don't want you to see the ugliness of the sea too early."

"what about now?"

"Now that you are grown up, you can accept the beauty that belongs to it while enduring the ugliness."

Karen behind the curtain heard Ophelia's voice. The other man should be General Tuffman.

How should I put it, General Tuffman's voice is very elegant, not at all like a brutal fleet commander, but from another perspective, it is also in line with the captain's description of him: delicate and perverted.

But it was impossible for Karen to open the curtain to see his appearance. Now he could only sit here and listen.

He knew that he was special, and outsiders could not perceive his breath, so in theory, as long as he sat here still and made no noise, the people in the study would not be able to detect his existence through induction.

"Have your father been busy with the negotiations between the two divine religions this time?"

"Yes, because the preparation time is very short, it is easy to arrange for the Order of God, but it is very difficult for the Reincarnation God."

"Well, the Cult of Order won the battle here, and this time they came to draw up a treaty to gain the benefits of the victor. They are in a good mood, so naturally they won't be dissatisfied with the reception conditions.

The Reincarnation Sect is the defeated party, and they are already depressed. In this case, if they are not well received, they will be hated. "

"Yes, uncle is right, and my father told me so too."

"It's because your father likes to be a good old man too much. If it were me, I wouldn't bother so much. I have already reached a cooperative relationship with the Sect of Order, and I can just hold the thigh of the Sect of Order, and do whatever I want with the Sect of Reincarnation." go.

Of course, your father is definitely more willing to make things perfect, and no one will offend, so he is suitable to be the patriarch. "

"Actually, from my point of view, I don't think it's a very appropriate choice for us to bet on the Cult of Order completely, because the Cult of Kosmos is an outside church after all, and we are just a dog under the feet of the Cult of Kosmos. Once we are oppressed, Whether to choose to stand up for a dog depends only on the mood of the owner at that time.

Destiny, it is better to be in your own hands. The Reincarnation Sect will not be destroyed. Even after the defeat, the Reincarnation Sect is bigger than us. "

"Trouble, too much trouble, too much worry, life can't be refined."

"Father has always envied your uncle's life."

"Oh, goodbye, I can't get used to his life, and it's hard for him to adapt to my life. Your father and I have had completely different personalities since we were young. Okay, let's talk about you. You go to Hotel, have you seen Karen?"

"seen."

"It seems that you went to the hotel specially to meet him."

"yes."

"I've seen his portrait, and he looks really good, but it's just pure good-looking. It shouldn't be possible to fascinate my lovely niece like this."

"Being with him, talking and chatting, can make people feel very comfortable."

"Oh, it seems that he is a person who is very good at pleasing girls."

"At first... it was like this."

"Isn't it now?"

"No, he has a fiancee."

"It's nothing to have a fiancée, my niece, is it worse than his fiancée?"

"Uncle, it's boring to compare like this."

"Yes, yes, uncle said the wrong thing. In fact, the reason why I came back to see him was not because the blood of the ancestor Bernard flowed in him, nor because he inspired the blood of the dark moon when he was alone, but because I never In your letter to me, I noticed that your attitude towards that kid is a bit unusual.

I have no heirs. I told your father a long time ago that even if his daughter is mine, with me around, your older brothers would not be able to compete with you for the position of patriarch.

Because your father owes me, hehe.

So, I am even more curious about him, what kind of kid is able to move your heart in such a short period of time.

You are good in everything, but there is only one problem, you are too young.

This is your advantage, but also your disadvantage. Some things need time to slowly settle. "

"Uncle, I have already settled down."

"Oh, what do you say?"

"He only has his fiancée in his heart, there is no possibility between us, in fact, nothing happened between me and him, the time we spent together was very short, and we didn't experience anything too thrilling.

I suspect that I have a good impression of him because I have never seen a boy like him on the island before. "

"Tsk...meaning, I came back for nothing?"

"If uncle came back with this purpose, it might really be a waste of time."

"Ophelia."

"Yes, uncle."

"If the ancestor Bernard hadn't carried out many reforms on Dark Moon Island, improved many techniques, and made great contributions, it would be impossible for him to be passed down to the present based on the love story alone.

Without the support of the former, there is only a love story, so it is not a point of praise but a point of criticism.

That's right, the relationship between young people is like this, just a just right heartbeat, they will take it for granted that they want to live forever under the witness of the dark moon.

But see through, see clearly,

In fact, it is such a common and simple thing.

Later, choose a better one. "

"Yes, uncle."

"Believe me, Dark Moon will not fail you, nor the Pearl of our island."

"The dark moon is above."

Ophelia folded her arms and prayed for Dark Moon.

General Tuffman stood up, walked to the bookcase, turned his back to Ophelia, and said, "By the way, you are also an adult, so I have something to tell you about the Sect of Light."

"The Sect of Light? Our island is still related to the Sect of Light?"

"Actually, the earliest contact and relationship with our island was not the Sect of Order, but the Sect of Light. When the ancestor Bernard was in power, he personally introduced it secretly and established a relationship.

The reason why the island was able to undergo such a big change during that period, a lot of credit should fall on those bright remnants. "

Tuffman tore off the cover of a book from the bookcase, which contained bright scriptures and notes.

"Ophelia, draw the curtains."

"Yes, uncle."

"Remember, when you come into contact with such scriptures and notes in the future, you need the light of the dark moon to bless you. Only in this way will you not be affected, because the light of the dark moon will strengthen the true direction in your heart. Let you not get lost in a momentary trance, and thus fall into the lost way of regret.

You must firmly believe that the dark moon will always be good for you, you are its devout believer, and it is also your most reliable guardian. "

Ophelia, who walked to the curtain, crossed her arms, followed her uncle's advice, and began to pray:

"The dark moon is supreme, guide the true direction in my heart, keep me from going astray, and always bathe in your brilliance."

Then,

Ophelia reached out and opened the curtains.

Karen: "..."

Ophelia: "..."
