Chapter 1098 Oil Painting
"Medieval castles basically don't consider lighting, which is one of the reasons why not many people choose to buy castles in the real world, because you need to spend a lot of money just laying circuits in the castle, after all, for safety reasons, these circuits can't be completely outside, there must be a circuit that has to be buried in the wall, but these stone walls have to cost a lot of money to penetrate."
Alice said as she knocked on the wall next to her and said, "I remember that in recent years, haven't some of you in Huaxia spent hundreds of millions of dollars to build a few new castles as tourist attractions and hotels?" ”
Liu Xing was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Li Hanxing and Sun Huiwen with some doubts, because Liu Xing really didn't know about this matter, but Liu Xing was sure that this should be true... In recent years, China has not reproduced many famous foreign buildings, so it is not uncommon to build several castles.
At this time, Li Hanxing nodded, and said with a smile: "I know this, I saw the relevant news when I bought that castle, saying that there was a designer who invested hundreds of millions of dollars to build several castles, among which the main castle can be described as high-end and atmospheric, not to mention the main castle where we are now, even if it is the main castle of Duke Gundogan, it is just like that, but unfortunately this is just a man-made landscape after all, in the final analysis, it is just a theme hotel, so in addition to the beginning of the period there will be some tourists, Later, it can't be said that it is a door, because the nearby travel agencies that organize tours for the elderly like this kind of attraction. ”
"My house is actually not far from the castle, so once I went around with my friends when I was idle, and even stayed for one night, the experience can be said to be quite bad, basically on the same level as those chain hotels in the big city, and the whole castle is not worth visiting, because many places have not been renovated, and there is no intention of continuing to decorate, and the most interesting thing is that when you come out of your room, you will find that there are few guests like you, But there were a lot of old men and old ladies chattering in the hall below, and it felt like the whole castle was divided into two spaces. ”
"When I was leaving, I saw a singing contest for the elderly being held in the castle, and I thought it was quite strange, although I have not been to the other small castles, because the road to that side is still the kind of dirt road that is casually smoothed, but it is said that it has long been dilapidated, and can you imagine the picture of someone drying rice and corn outside a castle? The castle was born at an untimely time and was poorly managed, and I wondered if I should buy it because the offer was quite low and the facilities were modern. ”
"The castle next to your house? Oh, it's the castle, I remember a famous funny movie that seemed to be made there, and that was the only highlight of the castle, right? Sun Huiwen, who hid himself in the dark, spoke.
Hearing Sun Huiwen say this, a picture suddenly appeared in Liu Xing's mind, because Liu Xing had also watched the funny movie in Sun Huiwen's mouth... Although in the real world and not in this parallel world.
Wait, wasn't that castle CG originally?
Liu Xing touched the back of his head, and suddenly some information appeared in his mind, or the memory of "Liu Xing".
After reading this memory, Liu Xing frowned and said, "Li Hanxing, the castle you are talking about should be called Chengwen Castle, right?" I remember that the castle seems to have been closed half a year ago, although I don't know the specific reason, but I found a possibility from various revelations on the Internet, that is, there seems to be a gate to the fantasy dream in Wencheng Castle, so there are mythical creatures through this gate to the real world, so it caused some casualties, but this kind of incident is really difficult to deal with, so Chengwen Castle can only be closed directly. ”
"Ah, is there such a thing? It seems that I was lucky not to meet those mythical creatures, otherwise you wouldn't have seen me today, because I was already injured and unarmed. Li Hanxing said with some fear.
I don't know if anyone is going to deal with the mods in the castle... To be honest, Liu Xing also wants to go to Chengwen Castle now, because in the footage of that funny movie, Chengwen Castle still looks pretty good.
Wait, I seem to have unconsciously set a flag for myself.
The four of Liu Xing chatted while watching the group of NPCs handle the food.
I don't know if these NPCs have just started cooking, or if they are deliberately doing it for their own group, in short, these NPCs have just processed the ingredients after Liu Xing and others arrived, and then grilled them on the fire.
"I'll have to get those two guys to set up some torches on the road later, it's still a lot of trouble for the black lights to go blind." Li Hanxing opened his mouth and complained: "But this is not a bad thing for us, because Sun Huiwen and I are still quite good at fighting in such a dark place." ”
Li Hanxing said as he stared at the rabbit on the grill, "If nothing else, those guys should hand us that rabbit on the grounds of lady's priority, so Alice, you have to find a way to refuse first, because we are not sure if any of those seasonings have been added yet." ”
"Heroes see the same thing." Alice whispered, "That rabbit was the first to go on the grill, so it doesn't have any reference value, and if those guys really want to make some small moves, then they really have the possibility to use this rabbit to yin us." ”
Unsurprisingly, after the first rabbit was roasted and sprinkled with various known or unknown seasonings, it was delivered by one of the knight NPCs.
As the only lady present, Alice smiled and refused: "No, no, you eat first, we are here to eat, how can we eat before the host's house?" ”
After some excuses, the knight NPC had no choice but to pick up the rabbit and eat it himself.
After making sure that the seasonings should be fine, Alice took over the dinner day.
One thing to say, the seasoning of this special world is quite good, and it can be regarded as a unique flavor.
In this way, the dinner was safely eaten, and the moon was almost at the appointed location.
So, Liu Xing and the others came to that room again, and the two knight NPCs also ordered their subordinates to place torches along the road.
In the room, Alice volunteered to pick up the bronze mirror, and then found an angle to reflect the moonlight on the small bead.
Liu Xing felt that there should be the sound of dice falling here, but unfortunately he couldn't hear it for the time being.
But it didn't take long for Liu Xing to know that Alice's luck was very good this time, because the judgment was successful.
After absorbing enough moonlight, the small bead began to change from its original colorless and transparent to a slightly cloudy white, and even Liu Xing could see that there seemed to be tiny cotton wool flying up and down in this small bead.
Soon, that little bead turned pure white... Then it's time to witness the miracle.
I saw that the small bead instantly changed back to a colorless and transparent state, and the key turned silently, and then everyone present heard a "click", and it seemed that the iron door was opened.
At this time, the vigilance of Liu Xing and the others had also been raised to the highest, and Li Hanxing had already put his hand on the hilt of the sword, ready to draw his sword to attack at any time; As for Liu Xing and Sun Huiwen, they were ready to pounce on nearby NPCs and take away the short swords from their waists.
Fortunately, these NPCs didn't plan to do it at this time, but the knight NPC who gave the rabbit before stepped forward and silently squeezed Alice open, apparently wanting to open the iron door of the secret room himself.
Of course, Alice didn't say anything, but just stood back beside Liu Xing and the others.
After the two knight NPCs made eye contact, the iron door was finally slowly pushed open... Then, the figure pushing the iron gate suddenly stopped, and finally collapsed under the bewildered eyes of everyone.
At this time, Liu Xing and the others discovered that a knife silently appeared on the head of this knight NPC, hitting him directly in the forehead.
The NPCs present were all confused and at a loss.
"This knife should be poisonous, otherwise it wouldn't be able to even scream." Alice frowned and said, "It stands to reason that we opened the mechanism correctly, because if the mechanism was opened in the wrong way, then it should not be a knife, but a poisonous mist pouring out of the secret room." ”
Liu Xing nodded, raised his voice and said: "It seems that we underestimated this iron door, in fact, this iron door needs to complete a total of three steps to be able to open safely, the first step is to get the correct key, the second step is to activate the small bead with moonlight, and the last step is to open the door correctly, that is, we should open this iron door, not directly push open this iron door." ”
The reason why Liu Xing raised his voice was to preemptively dissociate his party from this incident as much as possible, and characterize it as the knight NPC who chose the wrong way to open the door, so as not to make trouble for the living knight NPC.
However, the current situation is indeed even more bad for Liu Xing and the others, because when they went downstairs, Liu Xing and the others discussed one thing, that is, if their group found that these two knight NPCs were ready to cross the river and demolish the bridge, unload the mill and kill the donkey, then their group would have to find a way to use the discord meter.
Although these two knight NPCs seem to be good brothers, Liu Xing and the others know one thing very well, that is, these two guys should be money fans, so if they have the opportunity to enjoy a treasure alone, they should not choose to refuse.
But now it's a good thing, I didn't expect that this mechanism that opened the door would directly solve one of the knight NPCs, and now the remaining knight NPC can confidently absorb his good brother's subordinates.
In this way, although Liu Xing and the others have one less enemy, the rest of the enemies are all of one heart.
Now it's a bit of a problem.
But fortunately, the remaining knight NPC may have taken into account that there may be a mechanism in the secret room, or he didn't plan to make a move if he didn't see the treasure, of course, it was also possible that Liu Xing and others spent the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, in short, he didn't choose to do it at this time, but ordered a servant to go up and open the iron door according to what Liu Xing just said.
The servant was also a smart man, he hid directly behind the iron gate, and then slowly pulled the iron door open.
This time the mechanism was not triggered again, and it seems that the iron door does need to be opened instead of pushing, which can be regarded as taking advantage of the inertia of people's thinking that people are used to pushing the door instead of pulling it.
It seems that the original owner of this castle is indeed a smart man, and I don't know how this smart man came to be in the middle of the family.
Because of the lessons of the past, Liu Xing and the others were extremely careful when they entered the secret room, and nothing happened as a result.
And the area of this secret room is not too big, it is a rectangular space of about fifty square meters, and there are a bunch of large and small boxes next to the wall.
However, what Liu Xing and the others cared about the most was that in addition to these boxes, there was only one oil painting in the secret room, and this oil painting depicted a young man wearing an aristocratic dress, but this young man had an oriental appearance.
Oda Nobunaga!
Liu Xing and others immediately recognized the figure on the oil painting as Oda Nobunaga, because after coming to the island country, Liu Xing and others had seen a lot of paintings about Oda Nobunaga.
But the question arises again, why did Oda Nobunaga's oil painting appear here?
According to what is known so far, the painting is less than ten years old, so it is likely that the painting was completed after the former owner of the castle was forced to leave the castle.
In other words, Duke Gundogan should have been here, and he brought this oil painting with him!
Thinking of this, Liu Xing and the others all came to their senses.
At this time, one of the NPCs couldn't help but open a box, and then saw that there were more than a dozen gold bars neatly placed in this box.
In an instant, the secret room was filled with exclamations, and Liu Xing noticed that the eyes of those NPCs suddenly became wrong.
Fortunately, Liu Xing and the others have long regarded money as dung, even if these gold bars can be brought out of this special world, Liu Xing and the others are not interested in taking one.
At this time, Alice said decisively: "Can you hand me that oil painting?" ”
The remaining NPC looked at Alice in surprise, but he didn't say anything, and arranged for his men to hand the painting to Alice.
After getting the oil painting, Liu Xing and others began to withdraw from the secret room very tacitly.
