Chapter 150: Cellar Exploration
Su Xiao didn't go to the training room in the afternoon, for him, the palace skills with a proficiency of more than 90% were enough to deal with the actual combat, and the rest of the tail was left to make up for it when the monster was farmed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
There are thirteen court techniques, and each move needs to be repeated an average of 100,000 times to reach 100% proficiency. Kang Yongyuan and the others lived in the castle for a whole month, and when they were driven out of the castle by Su Xiao, the average proficiency of the court techniques learned by the twenty-one people was less than 60%, and Su Xiao threw them off the street in just ten days.
In the eyes of outsiders, Su Xiao and the three of them live in the presidential suite in the castle, and they are served with delicious food and drink every day, and their lives are comparable to that of life winners, but only they know how these ten days have passed. Chen Yaxuan and Alice are okay, the two of them are normal 9 to 5, but Su Xiao has paid dozens of times the hard work of ordinary people, and his dedication is seen by every knight of the Guardian Knights.
After lunch, it was rare to have a moment of leisure, and Su Xiao, who had relaxed, felt a little sleepy, and comfortably soaked in the hot spring in the corner of the living room that was comparable to a swimming pool. The hot spring water was a little hot, stinging the skin slightly, just like a masseur with slightly stronger hands doing a 360-degree full-body massage with no dead ends, which made Su Xiao comfortably open every pore on his body and dispel the fatigue accumulated over the past few days.
"The water is a little hot." Chen Yaxuan's sweet voice drifted into Su Xiao's ears along with the sound of her entering the water.
"I'll go!" Su Xiao was closing his eyes to recuperate, and suddenly heard Chen Yaxuan's voice, which frightened his heart tightened, and he fluttered and looked around, and then he vaguely saw Chen Yaxuan's black hair through the heat on the surface of the hot spring. Seeing that she was entering the water from the opposite side of the hot spring, Su Xiao was relieved, scratched her head and said with a smile: "You have fine skin and tender meat, beware of it is cooked." ”
Chen Yaxuan was amused by Su Xiao, and while scooping up a handful of hot spring water with her hand to moisten her cheeks and neck, she asked, "Do you have any plans for the afternoon?" Why do you want to spend an afternoon in the hot springs? ”
The slightly hot spring water made Chen Yaxuan's body fragrance volatilize quickly, and the churning heat wave on the water surface sent this fragrance to Su Xiao after a while, this warm and seductive fragrance made him strongly realize that he was soaking in the same pool of water as Chen Yaxuan, and also made him can't help but have a strange thought - as if his every movement in the water can be transmitted to Chen Yaxuan's body, this wonderful illusion made his hormones instantly agitated.
In order to avoid doing anything irrational in the water, Su Xiao hurriedly climbed out of the hot spring, and while cooling down the somewhat masked head with an ice pack, he said, "Let's go to the wine cellar in the afternoon." ”
Chen Yaxuan asked puzzledly: "We don't drink, what are we going to do in the cellar?" ”
It wasn't until he put on a full set of leather armor that Su Xiao breathed a sigh of relief with a little regret and replied, "Of course it's going to explore, doesn't the basement of the castle sound mysterious?" ”
When the old butler came to clean up the table, Su Xiao proposed that he wanted to visit the castle's wine cellar, and when he heard this proposal, the old butler was so happy that his face was full of wrinkles.
For a castle, the wine cellar is the most mecca for the taste of the owner of the castle. The woody aroma of oak mixed with the fruity aroma of grapes alone will intoxicate most wine lovers, and a sip of the finest red wine flowing from a barrel deep in the cellar is a luxury that most wealthy people dare not think of. For this reason, the vast majority of aristocrats would list the wine cellar as one of the three must-visit attractions in the castle, and the lord of the castle was no exception. It's just that Su Xiao is not interested in wine, so he ordered everyone to avoid talking about the wine cellar, so as not to disturb Su Xiao's practice of court techniques.
The old housekeeper is a wine lover, and when he heard Su Xiao take the initiative to ask to visit the wine cellar, he didn't even bother to clean up the tableware, so he immediately recommended himself to be their guide.
About ten minutes away, Su Xiao and Chen Yaxuan entered the wine cellar under the castle under the leadership of the old butler. As far as the eye could see, it was densely packed with stacks of large barrels, stacked in a neat and orderly manner, like a wall made of oak, and there was no end in sight in the dim light.
"Come on, come on, take the two of you to visit!" The old butler entered the wine cellar as if he had returned to Canada, and his gestures were all chic and free, "The barrels in our cellar are all oak, the barrel hoops and the nails on them are made of sterling silver, and the wine stored in this barrel is of first-class quality!" ”
When it comes to wine, the old housekeeper is full of interest, and introduces with a smile: "Look at this row first, these are the first wines of this year, the grape residue has just been removed for a few months, the wine is not strong and fruity, and it will not go up if you drink too much, most of them are provided to the ladies and ladies of the nobility." Look at the row on the left, including the back two rows, these three rows are all less than three years old, the last dinner was drunk this wine, the color is ruddy, the taste is smooth, the wine gradually overshadows the sweetness of the grapes, but the aftertaste still retains a strong fruity aroma, but for any banquet in the castle, this wine is the best choice. ”
The more the old housekeeper talked, the happier he became, and regardless of whether Su Xiao and Chen Yaxuan could understand or not, he happily led them to the depths of the wine cellar, pointed to the row of slightly blackened oak barrels, and said shyly: "These are the treasures of the city lord, and they usually don't let people move." These wines are all distilled repeatedly, and the dregs are extracted from their essence, from left to right, at least a hundred years old, and the last three barrels are said to have been stored for more than two hundred years, and only ten years ago when the king visited Peacock Villas in person, the lord of the city ordered half a barrel to be drawn for guests. Naturally, a subordinate like the old man has no taste for taste, but listening to the discussion of the guests during the banquet, it seems that in addition to the aroma of wine and fruit, there is also a fragrance of coffee! ”
"Oh......" Listening to what the old housekeeper said so much in one breath, Su Xiao and Chen Yaxuan could only nod, until he finished introducing all the wine for the king, Su Xiao said: "This wine cellar really has a long history, I still want to go around, if the old housekeeper still has a job, he doesn't have to accompany us." ”
The old housekeeper had a good time talking in one breath, and when he heard Su Xiao say this, he hurriedly agreed: "I do still have some work to deal with, so I won't disturb the brave to visit." If you want to taste any kind of wine, just pull the bell next to the container, and there will naturally be an attendant to help you get the wine. In my opinion, with the importance that the city lord attaches to the brave, even if the two of them want to taste the last three barrels of aged wine, they can't help it! ”
After speaking, the old housekeeper smiled embarrassedly and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, people like to nag when they're old, I'm really embarrassed, the two brave men can go around casually, I'll retire first." ”
Seeing the old housekeeper leaving, Su Xiao took Chen Yaxuan's hand and pretended to stroll, until they walked behind a row of wine barrels, Su Xiao poked his head back to confirm whether the old housekeeper was really gone, and the action was so strange that Chen Yaxuan's flowers trembled. Based on her understanding of Su Xiao, he didn't come to the wine cellar for wine, and when he saw that there was no one around, he asked curiously, "Are you a thief?" ”
"Shhhhh Su Xiao made a quiet gesture with a wicked smile on his face, and then walked towards the row of aged wines that even the city lord was reluctant to enjoy.
"What are you going to do?" Chen Yaxuan was afraid that Su Xiao would have some crooked thoughts about these wines, so she subconsciously wanted to hold him down.
Chen Yaxuan was born in a wealthy family, and her villa also has a wine cabinet dedicated to storing wine. You must know that some famous wines popular in the world, the price of a single bottle is not lower than jewelry, famous watches, and there are some series of famous wines, they are not used to drink, but to collect, the auction price is often 100,000 million, comparable to famous carvings and paintings and other works of art. Although the wine in the barrel does not have the additional value brought by the packaging, just listening to the tone of the old butler, he knows that the city lord regards it as his fate, no matter how polite the city lord was to Su Xiao before, as long as he dares to attack those barrels of wine, the city lord will inevitably turn his face on the spot, since he is leaving the castle tomorrow, why bother to make these moths before leaving?
"Don't pull me!" Su Xiao turned around and explained: "I'm not interested in wine, come with me and take you on a treasure hunt!" ”
Chen Yaxuan suspiciously followed Su Xiao to the row of the most expensive wine barrels, and before she could ask him what he was going to do, she saw that Su Xiao had already packed seven or eight large wooden barrels into her backpack, which scared Chen Yaxuan almost screamed!
Su Xiao's eyes were quick, she covered Chen Yaxuan's small mouth, and said in a panic: "Grandma, don't make any noise, what if you alarm others?" ”
Chen Yaxuan broke Su Xiao's hand and said anxiously: "You have swept away the life of the city lord, and it is not a matter of time before you alarm others?" ”
"Oops......" Su Xiao couldn't help rubbing Chen Yaxuan's little head, and said with a smile: "I said don't drink anymore, but I think they are in the way, so I will put them in the backpack first, and then put them in the knapsack, won't I just put them in the bag later?" ”
"Hmm......" Chen Yaxuan stroked her hair that was rubbed by Su Xiao, and complained with an aggrieved face: "Who told you not to tell me what you are going to do?" ”
"Didn't you say I took you on a treasure hunt?" Su Xiao put all the rows of wine barrels into his backpack as quickly as he could, and then pointed to the thirty-nine abruptly colored green bricks on the ground and said, "Don't you think these floors are wrong?" ”
Chen Yaxuan looked curiously, and saw that these square green bricks were compactly laid out between the other floor tiles in three rows and thirteen rows, and if the row of wine barrels was not removed, they would really not be visible.
Su smiled and said, "Do you remember what the housekeeper said just now?" This row of wine has been put for at least more than 100 years, and the last three barrels have been put for more than 200 years, do you think about when it was 200 years ago? ”
Chen Yaxuan Bingxue was smart, and quickly recalled the world history that Su Xiao had told her, and replied, "Wasn't it the last beast tide two hundred years ago?" There are wines in the cellar that have been aged for more than two hundred years, so ...... This wine cellar ...... Is it a relic from 200 years ago? ”
"Bingou!" Su Xiao snapped his fingers lightly, then walked to the three rows of green bricks, chanted words in his mouth, pointed to twist the Qiankun, stepped on the seven stars, and it didn't take long to select a green brick, took out the Dark Moon Dagger and inserted it into the crack of the floor tiles, and lifted it up in just a few seconds, revealing an entrance that went straight to the ground.
After making sure that his guess was correct, Su Xiao took the lead in stepping on the stairs and walked down, making sure that the stone steps were strong enough before turning around and showing a bright smile to Chen Yaxuan, "The treasure hunt begins!" gogogo! (To be continued.) )
