Chapter 57: Infiltrating the Castle
"Your Excellency, Lord Viscount is waiting for you in the palace, please come with me. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" A knight in bright armor stepped up to Snow and said in a respectful tone.
"Oh, thank you." Snow nodded, holding the box in both hands, followed the knight like a dog, and swaggered into the Viscount's Castle.
Just now, Snow came to the castle and lied to the guards at the gate that he was a messenger sent by Viscount Fness, and specially visited Viscount Tehuasu, which was the beginning of Snow's plan.
He had heard Abrasion in Hogg Town. The statue in the center of the town was carved by the people of the old Scott, who was on the orders of Fnes. And when Hogg Town was built, Twarthy invited Fnnis to the town to participate in the celebration. This shows that the relationship between the two is very good, and Snow happens to visit Tehuasu in the name of the envoy of Fness, and sneaks into the castle.
But since it's a visit, there's always something to give. At this time, the gift must not be something that is ordinary and visible. And Snow happened to have a fairly pure gold and iron stone on his body, which just solved this problem.
Snow quietly observed his surroundings as he walked, and he had to say that these rich and powerful nobles were very good at enjoying it. The stone buildings in the castle are tall and majestic, the greening is quite good, the rockery pools can be seen everywhere, and the exotic flowers and plants are arranged on both sides of the road.
As the saying goes, the Chinese people play with wood, and the Europeans play with stones, which is not false at all. These castles made of boulders are truly unique.
While admiring the view, Snow also noticed that the castle was quite heavily guarded, and soldiers with spears in their straight postures could be seen everywhere. This is still on the surface, and there must be more guards in the shadows.
"Koontz is right, trying to break through is a dead end." Snow sighed to himself, but his heart was even more bottomless. I don't know how many dark rooms there are in such a large castle, and it is indeed extremely difficult to find Cecili.
"Your Excellency, Messenger, please." The knight turned his head in greeting, and took the lead and turned into a path on the right.
Snow nodded, noted the marker around the bend, and followed the knight to the right.
Through a small path, the two came to a majestic three-story building. Snow noticed that there were relatively few guards here, and there was not a single soldier in sight except for the two knights standing in front of the door. Perhaps Tehuasu was more concerned about privacy, so he did not allow ordinary soldiers to enter his dormitory.
This also makes sense, after all, the perimeter defense is already sufficient, and there is no need to arrange too many people in the sleeping area. However, although the number of people is small, they are all knights with strong body and extraordinary sword skills, and their combat effectiveness is very strong.
"Your Excellency, the Viscount is inside, please come in." The knight brought Snow to the door, stood still, and said with a slight bend. Unless there is something to report, or there is an order from Tehuasu, the knight can enter it.
Snow thanked him and walked through the door to the hall on the first floor.
At this time, the hall was empty, and Snow turned his head to look around, secretly surprised again. The entire first floor is two hundred square meters, with a staircase with a golden handrail facing the door, and a huge fireplace with an orange flame growing on the left. Next to the fireplace are groups of plush leather sofas and thick blankets on the floor.
On the right side of the hall should be the place where Tehuasu dined, with a milky round table and delicate chairs. In the center of the table is a delicate vase with a few blue and white flowers unique to winter. The life of the aristocracy was naturally indispensable to wine, and Snow saw that not far from the left side of the dining table was a small bar with a unique shape, and the cabinet behind the bar counter was full of all kinds of fine wines.
The entire hall was luxuriously decorated, a little more extravagant than the Viscount's residence in Hogg Town.
As Snow watched dizzily, footsteps came from the stairs. Snow quickly straightened up and looked forward.
I saw a man about thirty-four years old, supported by two handsome women, walking down the stairs like an emperor. The man was dressed in a thick purple-gold pajamas, tall and thin, with a very white complexion. With slightly curly dark brown ear-length hair, long narrow eyes with a hint of gloom and depression, a high nose bridge, thin lips that are slightly mean, and two slightly upturned mustaches are very recognizable, this person is the Viscount of Tehuasu.
Compared to the statue in the center of Hogg Town, Twarce himself was noticeably less heroic. It seems that they have beautified their image a lot.
Snow stepped forward and performed aristocratic etiquette respectfully. This is Snow's newly learned pretending skill, which is quite standard.
"Honorable Viscount, the messenger Brad is courteous." Snow made up a pseudonym at random, and he had never seen how the envoy greeted the nobles, so he said something casually.
Fortunately, Tehuasu had no idea, yawned and asked, "You are the messenger sent by Viscount Fness?" ”
"Yes, Viscount Finnis asked me to say hello to you and send you some small gifts by the way." Snow said in a flattering tone.
"Oh? A small gift? Tehuasu smiled and said, "Brother Fnnis is really angry, come, sit here." ”
As soon as he heard that there was a gift, Tehuasu was obviously much more enthusiastic. Led Snow to the couch in the fireplace and sat down as the guest and host. One maid came to the fireplace to add fire, while the other stood respectfully behind Tehuasu with her head bowed.
"I haven't seen Brother Fnnis in a while, how is he doing?" Tehuasu asked, leaning back on the couch.
"It's good that I haven't seen it." Snow muttered in his heart and said with a smile: "Viscount Finnis is in good health, thank you Lord Viscount for your concern." ”
Tehuasu nodded, glanced at the wooden box in Snow's hand, and asked, "Brother Finnis asked you to come this time, is there anything wrong?" ”
"Oh, and it's nothing." Snow gently put the wooden box in his hand on the mahogany coffee table in front of him, and said respectfully: "Because I haven't seen each other for a long time, my lord asked me to come to visit, and by the way, I sent some small gifts." ”
"I'm glad that Brother Fernis thinks of my old friend." Tehuasu looked at the wooden box and smiled: "Although I don't care very much, I'm really a little curious about the gift from my brother." ”
The gift sent by Fnnis must be very valuable. And Tehuasu has two hobbies, the first is lust, and the second is good money. Looking at the exquisite wooden box, I naturally have some small expectations.
"When the **** wants to set up an archway, I obviously want to see the gift and give it back to his mother's bullshit, pretend not to care, stinky and shameless." Snow scolded in his heart, but said with a smile on the surface: "These are specially prepared for Lord Viscount, please take a look." ”
Saying this, Snow pushed the wooden box forward, and Tehuasu signaled slightly, and the waitress in the back stepped forward, deliberately blocking in front of Tehuasu, and with a lift of both hands, the wooden box was opened.
