Chapter 373
Ling Yun didn't have much interest in this kind of drinking party, and the purpose of his trip was not here, so he took a glass of waiter and took a sip of authentic whiskey from France, which made him feel very comfortable when the alcohol stimulated his tongue. [Full text reading.]
Slowly observing carefully, Ling Yun soon discovered a very interesting thing, the European nobles at the banquet generally did not have much contact with the Asian nobles, and those royal family members from Asia and the Middle East did not seem to bother to pay attention to the European nobles who had declined, obviously the geographical and cultural gap These people despised each other.
But the European businessmen, on the other hand, circled around the Middle Eastern royalty like smelling flies, because they knew full well that these Arabs, who had made a fortune from oil, were the ones they really needed to talk to.
In this way, the whole hall was divided into several small circles, and the small circles were divided into several strange little groups, which talked happily and warmly with J smiling on each other's faces, and let out bursts of false laughter from time to time.
The music sounded, and the crowd in the banquet hall had already made acquaintance with their dance partners, and began to dance slowly and elegantly, Ling Yun was naturally no exception, and walked up to Lisa's side with a smile and said, "Honorable Miss Bing, can I ask you to dance?"
"I'm honored. Lisa politely returned the salute politely, then put her hand on the man's big hand that invited her to dance and walked to the dance floor.
The waltz was slow and graceful, and Ling Yun and Lisa slowly swirled around the dance floor, and gradually approached the lead Count Arut in the slow dance tune, because they knew very well that at the end of a high-C movement, this court waltz had a prescribed movement that would cause the men and women on the dance floor to exchange partners with each other.
"One, two, three, change people and go ......"
When the dance music arrived and it was time to exchange dance partners, Ling Yun and Lisa moved their bodies to come to Count Arut, so Ling Yun successfully exchanged dance partners with Count Arut very smoothly.
When Lisa returned to Ling Yun's arms again, the key to open the treasure house unknowingly reached Ling Yun's hand, and used the gap to quietly imprint a deep imprint on a mold.
"My dear, I'll be absent for a while. ”
Returning the key to Lisa, Ling Yun took advantage of the time between the others to start the second dance and quietly disappeared from everyone's sight without notice.
After Ling Yun left, Lisa took the key and walked towards Count Arut, and pretended to accidentally stumble his foot when she passed by the count, and inadvertently slipped the key that was supposed to lie quietly in the confession of the suit into his pants pocket again.
At this time, Ling Yun, who had left alone, walked towards the back of the castle, where there was an unknown world waiting for him to explore, because with Hell's powerful intelligence gathering ability, he had only figured out the approximate location of the Pandora Star, and he didn't know what kind of tight security measures were near the treasure vault.
However, he was not too worried about this, because Ling Yun, who fused the energy of the two Pandora Stars in his body, seemed to be able to clearly feel the connection between himself and it vaguely, and there was an invisible force in the darkness that guided him towards the red Pandora Star storage point.
Since it was impossible to enter the main castle building from the front without being detected, Ling Yun went around to the side of the cliff next to the main building, where there were all kinds of advanced equipment prepared for him by the members of the Hell in advance.
Changing the suit on his body into a night coat, in a blink of an eye, the rich boy who was originally in a suit and leather shoes became a black-clothed and masked night thief, Ling Yun put on his backpack and carefully inspected the guards on the castle wall, and after making sure that the guards were still patrolling according to the fixed time, he hid in the Y shadow of the moonlight and took out a miniature special crossbow from the bag, and after the patrol guards passed, he put a crossbow arrow with a thin rope on the crossbow, and then raised his hand to aim at the joint of the stone wall of the main building of the castle and pulled the crossbow trigger.
The arrow of the crossbow arrow from the United States customized super hardness alloy, when it broke through the air, opened four sharp barbs and was firmly stuck between the stone beam and the joint of the stone wall, Ling Yun pulled down the metal rope attached to the crossbow arrow, and made sure that the arrow was very stable and penetrated into the stone wall, so he took a few steps back, pulled the string and rushed forward, and then his body suddenly jumped upward, and his feet kept stepping on the outer wall of the castle and climbing the rock.
As he approached the wall, Ling Yun suddenly heard the footsteps of the guards as they patrolled, so he grabbed the string and kept his body against the outer wall of the main castle building, and did not move until the footsteps were far away.
Cautiously looking around at the card, Ling Yun, who successfully avoided the guards, entered the inner castle courtyard, being able to avoid the eyes of the guards does not mean that it is safe, because not far from Ling Yun, there was a sudden roar of dogs, these specially trained hounds are much more powerful than those guards.
Ling Yun used his keen sixth sense to accurately judge the location of a few black shadows rushing forward, and then put his right hand into his arms and took out a few slender iron needles in different directions with great force, and with a few slight wails from the hounds before he died, the surroundings returned to tranquility.
Looking around, he saw five huge hounds lying less than a few meters away from him, these guys who had just flaunted their sharp teeth to Ling Yun had now been infused with extremely powerful metal steel needles through their heads.
After solving the trouble in front of him, Ling Yun began to continue to follow his feelings in the direction of the vault, and at this time, he could even vaguely feel the faint energy emanating from the red Pandora Star.
Passing through the platform into the main castle building, everything inside remains old-fashioned, and although it has been modernly decorated, the sense of historical vicissitudes is still very heavy, and through the corridor hung with various famous paintings, you will reach a council room with eight large floor-to-ceiling windows, neatly arranged with a large carved Spanish table and Italian leather chairs, and a huge Arut family coat of arms hanging from the wall.
The strange thing is that Ling Yun, who followed the feeling, finally came to a huge wine cellar, and when he stepped into the entrance of the wine cellar, there was a corridor of about two hundred meters, and both sides were filled with oak wine barrels of various periods, and the entire corridor was shrouded in a golden light under the illumination of the wall lamp that could control the temperature, and there was a trace of majesty in the gorgeousness.
In addition to a large number of oak barrels, there are also various wine-making process flow charts and many early European wine-making tools displayed in the whole cellar, some things still seem very strange to Lingyun, it seems that the French have developed the winemaking culture to the extreme a long time ago.
"This wine cellar is so big, where is the entrance?"
Wine cellars of this size are rare in all of Europe, and looking for the Pandora Star in such a place is a needle in the sea.
"The more clever the mechanism, the more it will be placed in a prominent place. ”
While he was pondering, a sentence that Shikov had once said suddenly flashed in Ling Yun's mind, and he immediately began to search among the most conspicuous rows of wine shelves in the wine cellar.
"Looks like I've found the ground!"
Finding a large number of 1995 vintage red wines placed on a row of wine shelves leaning against the wall, Ling Yun immediately felt a light in his eyes and a bottom in his heart, because under normal circumstances, this kind of ordinary red wine, which is not very expensive, would never be put into the private cellar of the Count of Arut.
So, Ling Yun hurriedly stretched out his hand and put the stack of red wine on the wine shelf one by one, and finally confirmed his idea after smoking more than 100 bottles, when the red wine bottle in his hand was driven along with the mechanism behind it, a nearby wine cabinet against the wall slid away from the wall to reveal a secret passage behind.
Behind the wine cabinet was a spiraling staircase, Ling Yun carefully bowed his body and held on to the stone wall and slowly walked in, the stone wall didn't know what material it was made of, so cold that Ling Yun couldn't help but shiver.
"There are guards outside, so there are no precautions inside?"
Thinking of the strange place, Ling Yun cautiously put back one leg that had stepped into the secret passage, and then turned around and pulled out a bottle of 1983 brewed red wine, and poured the blood-red Y body in the bottle into a tall crystal cup.
Taking the wine glass back to the secret room, Ling Yun raised the crystal wine glass to his eyes, and through the fold of the red wine in the crystal glass, he found many invisible red lines in the secret passage.
Facing the comprehensive criss-crossing infrared rays in front of him, Ling Yun stretched his muscles and bones and moved his body slightly, and the bones of his whole body suddenly burst into a crisp sound like a copper bean, and then with incredible joint and bone flexibility, as if making a movie, he crossed the infrared rays that these normal people could never surpass layer by layer from unbelievable angles and locations, and the whole process was very smooth, after all, he was not a vegetarian in the "No. 1 Base" for a month-long special training.
With a long sigh of relief, Ling Yun drank the red wine in his glass with great satisfaction, and then took out some delicate tools from his tactical pocket and easily unlocked the door at the end of the passage.
Pushing the door in, there is a passage behind the door that does not appear to be anything unusual on the surface, and the lighting fixtures placed on both sides of the wall illuminate the entire passage as bright as day.
