The Codex is a parchment scroll, and just by placing it in front of you, you will have a sense of the vicissitudes of history.

The content is already a little bleak, but I can barely read the content.

However, the writing on it is all in French, and there have been omissions in many places, of course Shi Lei can't see anything.

Andrei had another tablet and open a document on it.

This document contains a detailed record of the Codex.

More than 200 years ago, the owner of the winery was a young man in his twenties, who joined Napoleon's army, followed him in battles, and successfully witnessed Napoleon's coronation.

And because of his outstanding performance in the war, he was promoted many times, and after Napoleon's coronation, he also held great power and followed Napoleon's stepson to Italy.

However, Napoleon was exiled from Leipzig in 1814, and the former owner of the winery was implicated, although he was in exile in Italy, but his family was killed by the Allies.

Then Napoleon returned to the throne, and he naturally returned to France, but unfortunately, after Napoleon returned to the throne, he only held on for a hundred days, and with the defeat of the Battle of Waterloo, the Bourbon dynasty was restored again.

But this time, Louis XVIII also learned his lesson, and he did everything possible to appease the country, and finally the former owner of the winery returned here and became his owner with peace of mind.

Because of this, he lost the inheritance of his ancestors, who had been passed down from generation to generation, and before the previous winery owner died, he would dictate the location of the secret passage and how to open it to the next winery. However, the previous owner of the winery was executed by Louis XVIII, and the owner of the winery, who had followed Napoleon in his expeditions to the north and south, did not receive this inheritance.

Since then, the family has been searching for the entrance to the secret passages in their castle and winery.

Although he didn't know the location of the secret passage and how to open it, he had already heard his father say that this secret passage must be opened in a normal way, and once brute-force cracking or excavation is used, it will cause the secret passage to collapse, and everything hidden in it will be destroyed.

Two hundred years have passed, and the secret passage has never been found, but this legend has been passed down from generation to generation.

In the early years, the winery was doing well, and the owner of the winery did not really look for this bottle of wine.

With the poor management of the winery, its descendants continue to sell various treasures, and it has almost reached the point of exhaustion. In recent decades, he has been trying very hard to find the bottle of wine, and as long as the wine king is born, it will definitely alleviate the difficulties faced by the winery, and even make a comeback.

Unfortunately, in the end, he couldn't find it, but André spent 500 million euros to buy the winery.

……

Putting down the tablet in his hand, Shi Lei had some different ideas in his heart.

This seems to be a little linked to what the black card is looking for, although two hundred years ago, Europe was not so strong, and it did not have much impact on the Qing Dynasty in China at that time. However, the twenty-three works that Heika was looking for were at the latest from five or six hundred years ago, and it was not entirely impossible that they could appear in this ancient castle.

After all, the black card must have done the so-called macro control, and this kind of thing involving secret passages and the like is very likely to make Shi Lei find out.

Andre told Shi Lei again: "This bottle of wine king, although it is produced by Château Lafite, but, according to the content of this codex, as well as a series of investigations and researches I have done, I found that this bottle of red wine is one of the bottles of a batch of red wine that was sold to China at the beginning. The original owner of this winery, his ancestors once went to your Huaxia and brought back a lot of your Chinese things, including this bottle of red wine. It was because he brought a lot of things from China that were ahead of Europe at the time, and he had enough money to create this winery. ”

When Shi Lei heard this, he was even more vaguely excited in his heart, could it be that those twenty-three calligraphy and painting works would really appear in this ancient castle?

However, this also gave Shi Lei a headache.

Even if he could help Andre find the entrance to that secret passage and successfully crack that secret passage, how could he possibly buy back those twenty-three calligraphy and paintings of top masters from Andre?

It's a bit of a cheat!

Shi Lei's brows furrowed unconsciously.

Andre looked at Shi Lei's expression change, he was a little strange, and said, "Dear Shi, what's wrong with you?

Shi Lei hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, I just think this legend is a little interesting." The owner of this winery is too strange, since he wants to pass on the bottle of wine to his descendants, why does he set up a mechanism in the secret passage, once he enters the secret passage in an abnormal way or opens the secret passage, it will cause the collapse of the secret passage? This seems illogical. ”

Andre shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't know, no one will know what an old guy from two or three hundred years ago thinks." ”

Shi Lei smiled and said: "I still think this may be just a legend, perhaps, all this is simply a thing made up by the former owner of this winery in order to sell the winery at a good price." ”

Andrei said very seriously: "No, no, no, this is absolutely impossible, from many clues can show that what he said is true." The record on this parchment codex also fully illustrates this point. It doesn't make sense that a man 200 years ago would make up such a lie to deceive his children and grandchildren, and it will not do him any good. ”

Shi Lei rubbed his head, and said in his heart I also know that this must be true, but I just want to get other things in the secret passage, after all, this mission given to me by the black card is likely to end in your winery.

However, how can I get those calligraphy and paintings from Andre? Just a life-saving grace, probably not let Andre give away those calligraphy and paintings, right? Even if I buy them, it is impossible, after all, even the most ignorant people know what kind of people the authors of those calligraphy and paintings are, and they will also know how much these calligraphy and paintings are worth!

Anyway, now that Shi Lei knew the news, he began to pay attention to this ancient castle.

Andre still took him around the castle, and Shi Lei also relied on his knowledge of mechanical application to study the castle from all possible angles, trying to find out the location of the entrance to the secret passage.

And not much to gain.

Fortunately, Andre saw that it was too late and invited Shi Lei to live in the castle.

If it weren't for the secret passage, Shi Lei would definitely not stay.

But this may be an opportunity for him to complete the task, and Shi Lei has no reason to leave.

immediately agreed, and Shi Lei also lived in this ancient castle.

There is still one day before the settlement day, if Shi Lei can find the clues of the secret passage in this day, he may really have a chance to complete the task assigned by the black card.

The room that Andre arranged for Shi Lei was the largest in this ancient castle, located on the second floor of the ancient castle.

Originally, this room was left by Andre for his father when he came to the winery, but in order to show his respect for Shi Lei, he gave this room that was originally reserved for his father to Shi Lei.

After Shi Lei entered the room, he sat in the room and pondered for a long time, but he couldn't find a reasonable way to let Andre give up those calligraphy and paintings to himself.

Suddenly, Shi Lei laughed self-deprecatingly, and before the thing was found, he was thinking about changing hands, which seemed to be a bit of a hurry.
