The poetic words spoken by the mysterious man were obviously the key to the real name of the family island. Presumably, the ancestor simply changed the name to Chakus Island in order to conceal his identity.
Hilbert always sounded awkward before. The pronunciation of their family name itself was a bit strange. It would have been more appropriate to call it Moon Island. Now it seems that the connection is here.
There are only two employees of the Barbacs Company on the island, two men and two women. They are usually couples of the company. They take monthly rotation to deliver supplies, maintain basic cleanliness of the castle, some windmills and docks, and report on the operating status from time to time.
Large-scale overall cleaning will be arranged appropriately each year depending on the necessity of the assessment team's findings.
The annual salary expenditure of the Barbax company for this purpose is about 250,000 pounds, and the repair, cleaning and replacement of some facilities is about 100,000 pounds. The Chakus family can be said to have spent money to buy peace of mind.
Strictly speaking, although the Barbax company is not listed, the Chakus family also owns 30% of its shares, and the person in charge of the family island has always been arranged by Collini.
When the yacht arrived at the dock, four young men and women were already waiting there.
Su Su looked at the two couples who were sitting close to each other and thought that they must be very happy working here.
After a brief greeting and report on the island's conditions, the four people led the way along the stone-paved road and arrived in front of the castle.
The grandeur of the castle can be appreciated from close up rather than from a distance.
In addition to the huge main body, there are windmill lighthouses and watchtowers on the surrounding mountain walls, as well as sentry-style split buildings connected by mountain stairs.
The Qingzhen Secret Place, where the association's headquarters is located, is not an extension of the secret realm. Although the building occupies a large area, it is only a few thousand square meters. Judging from the specifications of this castle, the total area is at least tens of thousands of square meters.
From this perspective, maintaining basic cleanliness is quite a task.
Even Hilbert and Mansa were shocked to see this magnificent castle at this moment.
Looking back to the ancient times when technology was not well developed, it would have taken a lot of manpower and resources to build such a building on an isolated island in the sea.
Qin Xiaoxia also had such thoughts.
Except for the possibility that their descendants might fall into poverty, at least most of the people of Dawn will not be too bad when they leave the association, and the Chakus family is undoubtedly the one that benefits the most.
The vast resources of the ancient association were used to support aristocratic families with prominent status and assets. This dividend has continued to the modern era without diminishing. It is time to make some contribution to the dawn.
He looked toward Collini.
"Mr. Collini, can these four cleaning staff be trusted?"
The four people who had been following behind Collini and explaining the situation of the island from time to time were actually full of curiosity, but their good upbringing prevented them from asking questions.
Collini looked at the four men.
"Don't worry, sage. Although they are employees of the Barbax Company, I personally arranged everything from training to salary settlement. They are considered members of the Chakus family."
Having served three generations of barons for five generations, even though Collini no longer lives in Chacus Manor, he has become the embodiment of what a perfect British butler is.
Qin Xiaoxia looked at the four tall young men, then at Hilbert and Mansha, and then turned to look at the castle.
"That's good."
As soon as the words fell, the sea breeze seemed to suddenly grow stronger, blowing everyone's hair into a frenzy.
"It's time to restore the castle to its original appearance."
The lavender magic radiates, and the ocean environment responds like the sound of waves.
Normally, Qin Xiaoxia would not waste his magic power casually, but it was still necessary to highlight the atmosphere at the moment.
In the sound of "Woo~~~Woo~~" wind.
The people around were so excited that they could not stand steadily. The strong wind was howling around with clouds of water vapor. Surprised faces looked around and found that they and the castle were standing in the center of a huge tornado.
All around was a white, misty wind that was constantly changing.
At this moment, the people in the scene were like the survivors in a disaster movie or the protagonists in a fantasy movie. The shock in their hearts could not be expressed in words.
The four maintenance workers in particular were trembling slightly all over, and it was unclear whether they were out of fear or excitement.
Everyone looked in amazement at the two people in front of them, standing quietly in the storm, with their golden and silver hair flying.
Wow~
The castle seemed to tremble slightly, and the entire castle and all its ancillary buildings were suddenly shrouded in a vast storm, with gusts of whistling wind and the sound of some bricks and stones breaking mixed together.
Tiny fragments kept rising with the wind, and a faint glimmer of light could be seen in the storm.
Qin Xiaoxia's control over magic became more and more sophisticated, so that in this kind of operation that responded to the environment, he could use magic to restrain the operation of airflow, so as to prevent it from overturning and damaging some of the furniture in the castle.
As the wind around gradually weakened, the last gust of wind disappeared into the sky in a deep gray color.
Su Su opened her mouth slightly and looked at the castle in front of her, while Hilbert and others widened their eyes.
Even Collini had never thought that in addition to the interior, the exterior walls also had hidden things.
In some places that were originally sealed with bricks and stones, as the barrier was peeled off, the slightly concave crystal inside was exposed. It was a huge symbol of glazed collage. This symbol can be found above the main tower of the castle, the surrounding outposts, the ancient windmills, the lighthouse... every building.
Under the double sunlight from the sky and the sea, the dawn is shining brightly!
…
Qin Xiaoxia once thought about this question.
Sometimes, in order to deceive people, the association would occasionally invite some big shots to visit its secret buildings, using all kinds of shocking and vivid artistic expressions to elevate itself and highlight its mystery.
But most of the time, the association's secret rooms and various buildings are kept secret, and there are not many signs that can be seen outside the buildings.
Who are these wall carvings and the mysterious effects created by various magical techniques for? For their own people?
The result was really just for their own people to see. As the most sophisticated super organization in history, it was also filled with a lot of psychological hints and educational training internally.
Even apart from the official members who have received the Dawn Seal, most of the other peripheral members, various affiliated forces, and passers-by who were fortunate enough to participate a few times, have always firmly believed that they are working for the "just" cause.
In other words, the ancient Shuguang was so crazy that he even deceived himself. The real perfection might even be the realm of acting the whole thing.
Furthermore, when it comes to details of sophisticated deceptions and various plans, official members rarely leave any written materials, or even leave behind any. They may even leave behind fake files that vaguely describe the process of exorcising demons, through which only some code words can reveal the true face.
The mentor system serves this purpose to a large extent.
For the formal members, it is a psychological hint; for the few peripheral personnel who are fortunate enough to see this scene, it is the real "Justice Base".
It is very similar to the pyramid model in today's society, with a small group always at the top who are aware of the inside information and control the resources.
Qin Xiaoxia feels that many religions are actually similar at the beginning, but Shuguang’s strict implementation model ensures that formal members are always informed, making it impossible for it to become a religion.
Or perhaps the pride of the old swindlers determines that they would rather the dawn perish than become that kind of existence.
Of course, there is also the possibility that everything is real, and the deception is instilled in future generations just to confuse them, but this possibility is naturally very small and full of loopholes.
But it's not useless. Considering the strange changes in Russia last time and the strangeness in the Baron's family this time, sometimes you can magnify your own hints to avoid getting too proud of yourself.
…
The shock of the castle is certainly not limited to its exterior. Once inside, people familiar with the castle will consciously feel as if they have entered a new world. After peeling off the covering layer, what unfolds before their eyes is a vivid picture that is magnificent and full of historical charm.
Sometimes words are very pale. After revisiting his own castle, Hilbert's blood was burning with excitement. Even Mansa and Collini were filled with excitement. Although the four maintenance personnel did not know the cause and effect, they also had an indescribable excitement and enthusiasm. Just by looking at the carvings on the wall, they could imagine what kind of event they were in.
After experiencing all kinds of miracles, the subsequent secret realm techniques did not cause much excitement in my heart.
When the sun was setting in the evening, Baru and Ottos, with more than 200 core reserve soldiers, stepped out of the secret realm and saw the shocking "Silent Castle" for the first time.
The time and angle were just right, and the symbols on the outer wall of the glazed tiles, under the light of the setting sun in the west, reflected the dawns of varying sizes on the ground or on the mountain walls.
Dawn Silent Moon Island, this is the "real" name of this island.
From now on, this will be the headquarters of the Silent Knight and one of the places where the association's files are kept. The superior overseas environment can also provide convenience in other directions.
As the Chakus family has been keeping the island for Dawn for four or five hundred years, its only heir Hilbert naturally aroused the curiosity of a group of knights or quasi-knights.
Baru turned around with his strong body like a wild bear and faced Hilbert, stretching out his right hand with a symbol on it.
"Baru Gersonnier, leader of the Silent Knights, welcome back to the Dawn. I hope you will participate in the Silent Knights full-stage training camp to help you quickly regain the feeling of your extraordinary bloodline!"
Hilbert tried hard to show the qualities of his many years of aristocratic education. He straightened his body and stretched out his hand with a smile.
"Hilbert Chakus, thank you for your invitation. I will definitely go!"
The moment the two hands met, shining teeth appeared in the cracked mouths around them.
Hilbert could even sense more than two hundred kind gazes, as if he was pleased to have another future partner.
Qin Xiaoxia was sitting alone on a rock at the edge of the mountain, gazing at the setting sun in the west. The wind brought this conversation to his ears.
The influence of human spiritual power on human beings has been more than once or twice in the past. The four knights and Su Su's magical characteristics later were both prominent examples.
This has always been his area of curiosity and is one of his main research topics.
The blood power of the Chakus family? Perhaps it was just a joke.
But what happens when Hilbert firmly believes in it but finds that he can never be better than others?
Is it self-doubt or "seeing through the soul" that produces an unexpected transformation.
"I'm looking forward to it!"
At this moment, the mentor showed a mysterious smile in the afterglow of the setting sun, and Su Su, who was not far away, was stunned.
