A lofty castle stood in an unknown valley. It was neither gloomy nor gentle. Only the midday sun could shine into the valley. However, the surroundings of the castle were neither bright nor dark. It was neither as dazzling as a ray of light in the dark nor as dark as being completely immersed in the darkness. This kind of light was not brilliant gold or white; instead, it was dark yellow. However, it didn't feel drowsy. Instead, it made one feel energized. This place was similar to the castles in the outside world but different in every way. It was one of the Hexagram's strongholds.
After Xie Yuxuan came out of the space tunnel, she was surprised to find herself in such a place. Grand Elder Ye, who had been hiding all this time, also revealed himself.
He was wearing a cloak that reached his calves, with only one or two buttons buttoned in the middle. Underneath the cloak was armor, and his pants were leather pants. Although they were not armor, they gave off a very strong feeling. Two-thirds of his face was covered by a golden mask, but it still couldn't hide the charm of his face. There were no visible holes in the mask's eyes, and it was covered by some patterns. His hair was white, but there seemed to be a few strands of golden hair among the white hair. In short, he looked elegant.
"Welcome to my territory." Ye smiled." I've sent a servant for you. I hope you can blend in here as soon as possible."”
"Thank you, Lord Ye." Xie Yuxuan said.
Ye's body then dissipated. Without a doubt, this was just a mental clone. Xie Yuxuan walked to the door. There were two guards in front of the door, but Xie Yuxuan couldn't even tell the strength of these two guards. Anyone who could reach this place must be a monster.
The guard did not say anything and opened the city gate. Xie Yuxuan was a little surprised because such a castle that looked no different from an ancient castle had such advanced machinery inside.
That's right, the interior was full of smart products, and it was even a little ultra-modern. This was because there were many things that he, a young master who grew up in a rich family, had never seen before. If he had known that the Xie family's technology was the most advanced among all the races, it would have been dwarfed here.
"You don't have to be surprised." " This is the Hexagram's research base, so it's normal for technology to be very advanced.”
"And you are?" Xie Yuxuan noticed that a girl had walked up to her.
"Hello, I'm an artificial intelligence. I was sent by Lord Ye to serve you.”" You can call me Altolia. My serial number is 103-alpha-73m25. I hope I can be of help to you."”
"Hmm…Uh…Female…Female…Maid costume!!!”Xie Yuxuan's face turned red when she saw Altolia's outfit.
"Are you not satisfied with this outfit? Sorry, because our default outfit is a maid outfit, but if you don't like it, you can change it. Then, do you want to see a sailor outfit or a Japanese school outfit? Teacher uniform or nurse uniform? Or bikinis?" Altoria asked.
" It's okay. The clothes you're wearing now will do..." Xie Yuxuan said speechlessly. However, this setting was quite humane.
"Eh? Brother, you came so quickly?" Xie Mo Kun looked at Xie Yuxuan and didn't know what to do.
"It's okay. We're all family. There's no need to hold a banquet.”Xie Yuxuan said.
"Eh? How did you know that I was going to hold a banquet?”Xie Mo Kun was confused.
"Hehe, because you don't have much to do other than hosting a banquet.”Xie Yuxuan was speechless.
“……”
"Brother, when did you join Hexagram?”Xie Yuxuan asked.
"I joined the clan as soon as I left.”Xie Mo Kun replied," Oh right, don't just stand there. There's a sofa over there."”
"By the way, are there any rules here?”Xie Yuxuan asked.
"Rules? In any case, as long as they obeyed the elders, there were no rules. They would carry out the tasks assigned to them and get some rewards. The rest of the time was free.”Xie Mo Kun replied easily.
"So leisurely…"
"However, when doing a mission, you are dealing with the Grim Reaper with your life. It is better to be careful.”Xie Mokun brought Xie Yuxuan to the fifth floor of the castle. Unlike the other floors, the decorations here were filled with all kinds of energy crystals and elementite, and they were filled with the aura of magic.
"This is the floor where we live. Because it is filled with energy crystals and elementite, it is suitable for all ability users to cultivate.”Xie Mo Kun explained.
"Oh, then where is my room?”Xie Yuxuan asked.
"In order to protect the privacy of the organizers, every room is an independent space. This is the space-time code crystal corresponding to your room.”Xie Mo Kun handed a palm-sized crystal to Xie Yuxuan, then said goodbye and left.
Xie Yuxuan injected her magic power into the crystal, and as expected, her body was brought to another space. It was a medium-sized room that occupied only 100 square meters, but the facilities were very complete. Not only did it have a separate bathroom, but even the furniture and appliances were also arranged.
Xie Yuxuan couldn't help but marvel at the foundation of the Hexagram Organization. They actually had so many spacetime code crystals and had created so many independent spaces. If she had known that creating such a large independent space would require the financial resources of a city for a year, this kind of treatment would have been heaven-defying.
Xie Yuxuan then checked the concealment and stability of this independent space. After there were no loopholes, she began to pack her luggage. After tidying up, she took out a rose-red crystal from her forehead and muttered a few incantations. A humanoid girl with a pair of cat ears and a cat tail appeared in front of Xie Yuxuan. Looking closely, it was Jiang Xin.
" It's too stuffy inside the Cat Ear Stone…" Jiang Xin complained.
"I didn't expect you to have such a thing.”Xie Yuxuan was a little surprised.
"Of course. Although I have many brothers and sisters, my father will still give each of us a life-saving tool. Mine is this cat earstone. Although the space summoned by the cat earstone can't compare to this independent space, it's still very precious.”Jiang Xin said.
" Of course it's precious, but this Hexagram organization has really overturned my worldview. They actually have so many spacetime code crystals. You have to know that my Xie family only had less than ten back then, and this foothold probably has twenty spacetime code crystals.”Xie Yuxuan looked surprised.
"Do you have any plans?" Jiang Xin asked.
"Plan? No, I'm only here to find out why my brother joined the Hexagram. Since he's a vagrant, he must have his reasons for doing things.”Xie Yuxuan replied.
"Aren't you going to take revenge?" Jiang Xin asked.
"After so many days of thinking, I finally understand that the Xie family's fate is over. What I need to do now is to understand the whole story.”Xie Yuxuan said helplessly.
"Alright then."
In the room at the highest point of the stronghold.
"A2, take off my mask…"
There was no light in the room, and there was no light, but the room was bright, just like the castle. A man was leaning against the sofa, his right hand tightly holding onto the golden mask on his face. He did not take it off for a long time, but his body was constantly trembling, and his left hand was gripping the armrest tightly.
"Ye, your illness acted up again?”A stunning woman in a pure white floor-length dress walked over from another room.
"The devouring is too severe. I'm afraid this body can't withstand it anymore.”The woman checked Ye's condition and said.
"This isn't a solution. I've already changed into almost forty bodies, but none of them can truly endure the devouring power for a long time. I'm afraid that I'll be destroyed by this eye.”The man's golden mask was removed, revealing the face hidden under the mask.
"Even this hypocritical mask can't withstand the devouring power?”The woman's heart ached.
"This devouring power is not something a mortal can control.”Ye smiled bitterly." My pupils are getting bigger and bigger. I'm afraid that when they completely cover my eyes, I will be completely devoured.”
"Then did you summon Xie Yuxuan to be a new body?”the woman asked.
"No, he has his uses."
