Chapter 520: London Station
Facing this somewhat crazy driver, Wang Hao was a little speechless, although he was not disgusted with the speed, but more shocked, he really couldn't imagine that he was so domineering here, so he had to watch Will rush all the way out of the dense traffic with a kind of heart-pounding madness, and rush to the center of London.
But that's the way it is, and all around, from time to time, orange taxis are killed, and they are marching forward with a madness that does not suppress Will.
Finally, half an hour later, the terrible journey was over, and the orange taxi stopped in front of an antique mansion.
"Hi buddy, the hotel has arrived, thank you, twenty pounds!" Will turned his head enthusiastically.
Wang Hao smiled bitterly, threw out twenty pounds quickly, and then turned around and got out of the car.
The crazy Will immediately drove the orange taxi and disappeared into the vast traffic, Wang Hao wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and said in a low voice: "Crazy British driver, it's really weird, why don't British drivers have a little gentlemanly demeanor?" ”
At this time, the waiter in front of the hotel greeted him warmly: "Sir, can I serve you?" ”
"Well, I'm going to stay for two days, book a room for me." Wang Hao saw that it was an Indian Ah San, and immediately puffed up his chest.
Under the warm service of Indian Ah San, Wang Hao successfully completed the registration work, and then went straight to the room, and rewarded Indian Ah San with ten pounds of banknotes.
Now all kinds of media are everywhere comparing China and India, so in front of his opponents, Wang Hao must not lose the face of the Chinese, and he must definitely do what he should do.
When Indian Ah San saw Wang Hao's generosity, he was immediately dazzled: "Thank you generous master, thank you." ”
Until he respectfully stepped out of the room, closed the door, and disappeared.
Wang Hao was in a good mood: Yes, he earned face for the Chinese.
Glancing left and right, unlike the noble and luxurious style of French hotels, the style of British hotels is more warm and homely, making people feel like home.
I thought about it: noon, eat first, then take a nap, go to the Tower of London in the afternoon to explore the way, anyway, the closing time of the Tower of London is 9:55 p.m., don't be too anxious, there is time, as long as you step on it, with your own hand, get something that is not ready to catch?
So, I went downstairs and ate a little British food that was really not delicious, maybe Wang Hao didn't particularly like the taste of British food, after eating, Wang Hao went back to the room early to take a nap to recuperate!
slept until three o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Hao got up, and after washing, he suddenly felt full of energy, as if he had inexhaustible strength.
He carefully chose the outfit, it was a German HugoBoss suit, and the underwear and shirt were also newly bought a few days ago, two words, cheap.
In order to avoid unavoidable trouble, Wang Hao changed his appearance a little with vitality, not at all like his handsome self now!
After everything was ready, Wang Hao looked at his whole body carefully again, and felt that there was no flaw in it, so he went out and walked to the Tower of London.
Sure enough, after walking a block, I saw the Tower of London, a huge Normandy-style castle.
At this time, this ancient castle that has gone through thousands of years of wind and frost is like a giant that has experienced vicissitudes, standing quietly, and the heavy exotic customs and historical deposits have made Wang Hao intoxicated and intoxicated for a long time.
It is really worthy of being a world historical and cultural heritage, its grandeur and majesty, delicacy and vicissitudes, it is really comparable to ordinary buildings, Wang Hao can't help but secretly admire.
After looking at it for a moment, Wang Hao walked across Tower Bridge and walked along a long causeway towards the entrance to the Tower of London.
Since the Tower of London has an average of seven or eight thousand foreign tourists visiting every day, it is naturally full of people, so Wang Hao is surrounded by people from foreign countries, these people speak a variety of Chinese languages, as if playing a messy and inferior music.
Wang Hao quietly merged into this huge flow of people, not showing the mountains and waters, quietly hiding his traces.
After a while, Wang Hao followed the flow of people to the Tower of London, where several Royal Guard soldiers wearing ancient red military uniforms and black high hats were quietly guarding the gate of the castle.
Wang Hao bought tickets at the ticket office with the flow of people, the price was expensive, 20 pounds, about 300 yuan, indeed, such a large and magnificent building, although the price of the ticket is a bit high, but it is also more reasonable.
Entering the castle gates, the first thing you see is a huge tower, the Middle Tower: the only way to enter the Tower of London by land.
Passing through the middle tower, you will come to the center of the Tower of London: in the huge courtyard, the central part is a white giant tower, nearly 30 meters high, nearly 200 meters in circumference, the tower body is made of three or four meters wide white boulders, incomparably strong, this is the place where the British kings have been crowned and lived, and it is also the core of the Tower of London, surrounded by thirteen attached towers, each with its own duties, like a group of dutiful guards guarding the central white tower.
There are dedicated walking signs in the Tower of London that tell visitors how to get around.
Of course, there are many areas of the heavily guarded Tower of London that are not open to visitors, and if you go off the rails, the polite but vigilant guards around you will be politely invited back.
Wang Hao was in the crowd carefully and carefully observing the situation around him, so that he knew in his heart, he didn't want to be caught by others when he came at night.
The flow of people slowly follows the signs from the attached towers, and each tower has a full-time tour finder and guard, who is responsible for guiding tourists to visit and explain.
Although Wang Hao didn't have much interest in these attached towers, he also listened patiently, and he also heard something that he was more interested in:
Lion Tower: A special place in the Tower of London to breed wild beasts in the former British kings, there are lions, bears, tigers, wolves and other fierce beasts, hence the name Lion Tower, but unfortunately, now the beasts have been sent to the animal circle, only those empty steel fence rounds, cold and cold.
Blood Tower: A place in the Tower of London dedicated to the detention of serious political prisoners, there have been countless princes and nobles in Britain who have died here, bleeding countless times, hence the name Blood Tower, here, the countless torture instruments and prisons make people have a cold swishing feeling, as if they have come to the hell of Anose, the long bloody gas seems to be still there, and people are disgusted today!
Waterloo Tower: A giant tower commemorating the defeat of Napoleon by the European coalition, the Treasure Hall contains countless treasures: Queen Elizabeth's crown, scepter, coronation robes, chalice and other treasures.
Of course, what interests Wang Hao the most is the largest diamond in the giant world on the royal scepter: the Star of Africa, which is scorching in the bright light, which is amazing.
However, countless monitoring instruments and guards around are constantly reminding people that if they want to see, they can, if they want to burglarize, there is no door.
In addition, there are buildings such as the Green Tower, the Wakefi Tower, the Green Tower, and the Bizim Tower, which serve as an armory, a mint, a database, and other specialized places.
Wang Hao was a little amazed: this Tower of London is simply a multi-functional palace, I really don't know what else it can't do.
Soon after visiting the thirteen attached towers, he entered the core of the Tower of London: the White Tower, which Wang Hao was interested in.
There is a spiral staircase in the corner of the White Tower, which leads to the top floor, according to the street signs: the first and second floors are closed, only the third floor can be visited, mainly the oldest surviving St. John's chapel in the United Kingdom, which is the place where the kings of England prayed and held important meetings.
Wang Hao rejoiced in his heart: Fortunately, I was not interested in other places, only in St. John's Chapel, and it was not in vain.
So, Wang Hao followed the visitors down the stairs to the top floor, and first visited an old armory: it was an English Tudor-style armory, which retained the huge armor of King Henry VIII, which was extremely precious.
Of course, Wang Hao was not interested in this, walked briskly, and walked into the chapel of St. John, which he wanted to see the most.
The chapel is not large, with two rows of sixteen chairs and an altar in front of it, dedicated to the crucifixes of the Merciful God and his Son Jesus Christ, with candles burning quietly, adding to the solemn and sacred atmosphere.
The church was crowded with tourists, many Westerners praying reverently with crosses on their chests.
Wang Hao intentionally or unintentionally hid in a corner, looked around carefully, and quietly looked up at the top of the tower, and found that the tower had a huge skylight, inlaid with several huge pieces of glass, forming a protruding shape.
Where the stars converge?
Could it be that at night the stars fall from the skylight and create a concentration point on the ground or somewhere?
Wang Hao thought quietly, but his expression was very calm, so as not to arouse the suspicion of tourists and guards.
After thinking about it for a while, Wang Hao felt that his judgment should be basically correct, and he was secretly happy in his heart, so he began to use his divine sense to quietly sense the surroundings.
Sure enough, like other attached towers, this white tower is full of strict monitoring instruments and alarm systems, and it is conceivable that every move of tourists is under the sight of the monitoring personnel.
Wang Hao sneered in his heart: It seems to be seamless, but in my eyes, it is nothing.
After pretending to visit again, Wang Hao, who basically figured out the situation of the Tower of London, quietly left the White Tower and returned the same way.
When the sun set, Wang Hao walked out of the Tower of London and walked towards the hotel without looking back.
In broad daylight, facing the heavily guarded and crowded Tower of London, there is no way to do anything.
Only at night is the favorite time of the 'flying thieves'.
Wang Hao sneered in his heart: I really didn't expect that one day I would be called a flying thief.
