Chapter 1436: Chapter 1437

(Wait for modification) Although the activity space is limited after entering the castle, they were invited guests. Even if they "lost their way" inside the castle, it shouldn’t be too big of an issue. However, it’s another matter with this maid following them.

This was a notification, not a discussion. After the butler finished explaining, she left, leaving the young maid in the lounge. She thoughtfully poured tea for them and even asked if they needed any reading material to pass the time.

After waiting for half an hour, Xiao Si noticed that no one had come to inform them yet, so she suggested they take a walk outside.

"Can we go to other places?" Yan Jiayu asked, "Didn’t the butler say we could only walk around near the small building?"

Xiao Si smiled gently, "The butler is rather strict, always abides by the rules, but the queen is a very kind person, gentle to everyone, and is happy to let people tour her decorated castle."

Since she said so, the two readily agreed and followed her out of the lounge.

Outside, maids occasionally walked by in pairs, chatting and laughing. After passing by, they would greet or exchange a few words from a distance, each with a contented and warm smile.

The castle is indeed quite large. The central main castle is a circular structure composed of six interconnected towers, with three wings on each side, making the entire building look like a gigantic, not very obvious bracket.

In front of the main structure are several artificial lakes; behind them, separated by a garden, are several independent small buildings, and beyond those is the Rose Garden.

In such a large place, in order to promptly attend to the owner’s needs, there must be a kitchen and servant’s quarters inside the main castle. The place where the butler took them is actually on the left side edge of the main castle, where there is also a kitchen that was already preparing meals when Xu Huo and the others arrived.

Xiao Si led them along the fringes, using corridors built specifically for the servants to prevent them from wandering inside the castle, appearing chaotic and busy. The main passages of the castle are for the king, queen, and guards.

However, unlike the small courtyard of the lounge, this side of the main castle has many places planted with flowers, trees, and even some mutant plants.

"Those seeds were bought from foreigners; I didn’t expect the flowers to grow so beautifully. The queen really likes them," Xiao Si explained with a smile.

Throughout Jewel City, there are very few traces of players or outside zones, which is why Xu Huo and Yan Jiayu could use props to perform. If this instance stays open a bit longer, these tricks will no longer work. The circulation of game elements here is only a matter of time, and by then, the people in the castle might not be so kind to "foreigners."

"I’ve heard you’re also from a distant country, capable of performing magical feats. Is the outside world all filled with wonders like this?" Xiao Si asked.

This is not an easy question to answer. Although the maid in front of them has the appearance and demeanor of a normal human, she isn’t truly human. She is an object with human intelligence. f.(r)eewe/bnov\ll.com

An anthropomorphic object – her master may well be aware of the game’s existence, or perhaps her master is a player, the king, or even the queen. This implies that the master of Jewel City might be a player, the keeper of this instance.

This would significantly increase the instance’s difficulty.

"Every place is different," Yan Jiayu spoke after exchanging glances with Xu Huo, "but other places are not as wonderful as Jewel City. Here is like an ideal world."

Xiao Si covered her mouth and giggled, "I like it here too."

Three guards jogged past them. Xiao Si called them over to ask what was happening.

"Just now, a foreigner arrived outside the castle, claiming to have the most beautiful main castle in the world as a gift for the queen. Unexpectedly, she turned out to be a thief. Another Miss Xiao Si has already caught her and is now escorting her to the prison," the guard replied.

Xiao Si nodded, "Tell Xiao Si to personally guard her in the prison to avoid causing the queen any fright."

The guard responded and left, while Xiao Si turned back to Xu Huo and Yan Jiayu, saying, "Just a minor incident."

"Isn’t there only one person named Xiao Si in the castle?" Yan Jiayu curiously asked.

"I am one of many twins," Xiao Si replied, "so I have many sisters." She pointed ahead, indicating they could continue their tour. "Lady Liya is probably keeping company with the queen now and might not have time to see you for a while. If you get tired of exploring, you can ask a servant to lead you back. I’ll try to mention you to Lady Liya in the afternoon."

Xu Huo and Yan Jiayu had no say and listened to her quietly, waiting for her to leave.

"Shall we continue?" Yan Jiayu turned to Xu Huo, "Multiple twins; I wonder how many sisters she actually has. No wonder the people in the castle aren’t afraid of players at all."

Although characteristics and many props don’t work against the people of Jewel City, players are more than a match for the guards with just speed and strength. However, there are too many guards, and killing them indiscriminately brings no benefit, so the general tactic is to first disengage from the Jewel City residents rather than resort to massacres...

Yet, given the current situation, the castle clearly presents a deep pit, and encountering anthropomorphic props makes it hard to say who would kill whom.

Xu Huo was thinking even more; since the king or queen could be the instance’s holder and possesses advanced items, the missing gemstone might not be that simple.

The king’s attitude towards the capture of the thief has always been strange. Although he publicly offered a reward for the thief, he didn’t provide the bounty hunters with all the information. This ambiguous approach leaves one wondering whether he’s genuinely intent on catching the criminal.
