Chapter 50: Mo'an's Secret Part I
Rhodes fumbled around the walls, trying to figure out how to open the door, but there were no bumps, let alone handles. He speculated that www.biquge.info mechanism was not on this wall, so he took a few steps back and looked closely. But the room was too dimly lit to do a thorough investigation, so the room was small, and he walked along the walls, stepping on the floor and knocking on the walls from time to time. Finally, in one corner, he noticed that the sound of the floor stomping was different from the others, he lay on the ground, knocked on it, and it was clear that it was empty. Fingers ran through the gap in the floor, found a small card slot, thumb and index finger grabbed upwards and lifted it hard, and a small lid of about 30 centimeters was lifted from the floor, revealing a silver pull ring. Hook the tab and pull it upward, and the part that is pulled out is an iron chain, one end is connected to the surface of the ring, and the other end extends to the ground. As the length of the chain that was pulled out increased, the secret door slowly opened from the bottom to the top.
The room was brightly lit, which made Rod, who was used to the darkness, a little uncomfortable. A few seconds later, he walked into the chamber and looked around, the equally small room was full of stuff. Wooden boxes, blankets, furniture, clothing, the vast majority of them are worthless old goods. Rhodes opened a chest containing rusty swords and some silverware. It looks like the warehouse of an ordinary aristocratic family, and it is very different from the opulent style outside.
"Why did he put these people in the secret room, what the hell ......is this" Rhodes whispered secretly, looked up suddenly, and saw something hanging on the wall in front of him, which seemed to be a badge, and he approached to see it. It didn't matter what he saw, his eyes widened, and his hands covered his mouth vigorously, for fear that shouting out would alarm Alex outside. He was stunned for a long time, and then, as if mad, he looked at every chest, silverware, prop, and other things, and sat down in shock when he saw on each one of them the same badge on the wall as on the wall.
After seeing Alex Sandra off, Moan took a deep breath. He returned to the fireplace, turned the mechanism again, and the secret door on the bookshelf opened, and Rhodes slowly stepped out of it, his face pale. Seeing his appearance, Mo An frowned slightly, he suddenly realized something, pushed Rod away, and looked inside at the door of the secret door, sure enough, the second layer of the secret door was open.
Rhodes ignored Moan, he walked straight to the terrace, took a deep breath of fresh air, crossed his hands on his hips, closed his eyes and raised his head, he needed some time to gather his thoughts, but Moan didn't give him this time.
"Looks like you already know my identity?" Moan turned to face Rhodes on the terrace after closing the two secret doors.
Rod didn't turn around, but Mo'an's words made him open his eyes: "No wonder you know everything about pocket watches, I was still thinking that anyone in this world can know so much except my father, and now it finally dawns on me, if it were you, all this would be easy to explain." ”
At this point, Rod turned around, and said with a smile, "Why, don't you invite me to a glass of wine again, Mr. Mabril?"
Hearing Rod's words, the corners of Mo An's eyes twitched, and the atmosphere in the room became heavy again.
Unlike the tension in the living room, on the corridor outside the Crescent Moon Manor, the masked man was walking briskly, and he looked back from time to time to make sure that Xuanyu hadn't caught up, and then gradually slowed down. One casually, a greeting came from his ear.
"Attbo, long time no see. ”
"Who?" the masked man turned his head to find an oriental man looking at him with a smile not far behind him, and at this moment, he realized that he had made a mistake.
"It turned out to be really you. Xuanyu smiled as she walked towards the masked man.
"You're the one staring at me, who are you?" said the masked man, backing away, "How do you know my name?"
Xuanyu shook her head: "Want to know, then tell me first, who is the person who uses 'silent' and where is it?"
"I'm afraid you won't find him," the masked man said viciously, "and even if you find him, you're no match for him!"
"Really?" Xuanyu said, "it really scares me." He said that, but in a playful tone.
The masked man retreated while looking for an opportunity to escape, but the difference in strength between the two was too great, and the result was basically a foregone conclusion. At this moment, the idle stones on the side of the corridor suddenly rattled, and after a violent shaking, they rose into the air. Immediately after, the nearby stones all flew up and gathered in one place, but in a few seconds, a huge stone figure appeared in front of Xuanyu. It flew up and slammed its fist into Xuanyu, who dodged its attack with a light leap.
Faced with the huge stone man, the masked man didn't show much surprise, as if he had known it for a long time. But he was by no means the manipulator of the stone man, Xuanyu knew this very well, and this man who manipulated the stone was the same person who controlled Sam that night, with the same mana and wavelength, and even the same speed of air flow.
"It's an old friend!" Xuanyu said as she dodged the stone man's attack, "Why don't you show up?"
No one answered him, but the stone man's attack became more and more intense, and he smashed down with a punch, shaking the ground. The masked man took advantage of this moment and slipped away. Xuanyu didn't want to entangle with these manipulated stones, so she dodged and disappeared into thin air.
In the living room of Crescent Manor, Mo An clapped his hands quietly: "I have long known that it is a very dangerous thing to let the head of a thief enter my secret room, and it seems that you still can't leave it to chance." ”
Mo An sat back on the sofa and said to the servant who had walked in after hearing the clapping of his hands just now, "Go and get some good wine, I want to entertain your guests!"
Hearing the word "wine," Rhodes laughed, and he returned to the middle of the drawing-room: "Although good wine cannot be missed, the story of Mr. Mabriel is even more fascinating." ”
After the two men stared at each other intently, Mo An finally said, "Okay, since it comes to this, I won't hide it anymore." That's right, I'm Moan Mabril, and it was my father who was ordered to build the underground palace back then!"
As soon as Mo An said this, a gust of wind blew from the terrace, and with it was Lucia, who had just returned to the living room when she heard such exciting news, and she was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth.
"I wouldn't have thought of this if I hadn't seen the crest in your secret room. Rhodes knew that even if he saw Mabri's family crest, if Moan didn't want to admit it, he couldn't do anything about him. But Mo An admitted it very simply, which surprised Rod a little.
As if seeing Rod's doubts, Mo An smiled and said, "I don't need to hide it from you," he said, pouring the wine from the servant just now into the wine glass, walking towards Rhodes and handing the wine glass over, "After all, we have a common enemy." ”
"Oh?" Rod took the glass, but didn't drink it, he waited for Moan to continue.
"You said your father was captured by the Praetorian Guards of the Reino Palace, right? Mo Andao.
"I saw the badges on those guys, I can't be wrong!" Rod glared.
"Me too......" Mo An was unhurried, returned to the sofa, poured himself a glass of wine, and said slowly: "If my expectations are right, they should be the ones who destroy my family!"
