"Well, how the hell are I going to get in?" Chen Kai stared blankly at the tall manor gate, the closed gate was like a city wall separating Chen Kai from the manor. Where are the novels updated the fastest? Please look for Aishang Novel Network biquge.info Although Chen Kai thought of climbing the wall at the beginning, after all, this place is his own manor, even if he is caught, he is not afraid. But after seeing the flickering magic light on the outer walls of the manor, Chen Kai and the others gave up that unrealistic idea.
After all, in this state, even if Chen Kai was the owner of the manor, when he illegally entered the manor, he could not be guaranteed to be attacked by the spells on the wall. So he had to stay at the gate with the others, carefully searching for the key to open the door, or something like a doorbell.
After a dozen or so people squatted in front of the not-so-wide gate and rummaged for nearly ten minutes, they finally found a drawstring in one of the most conspicuous corners of the gatepost. This drawstring is almost the same color as the wall, and it is also deeply embedded in the crack of the wall, and it is impossible to see it without fingers. However, after pulling the rope, Chen Kai and the others found that it was not a doorbell at all, but a pull rope of a cover plate embedded in the doorpost.
The purpose of that cover was very simple, it was to keep the entire outer appearance of the doorpost intact and not to expose the heraldic seal inside to the air. After seeing the coat of arms, Chen Kai felt that he might have guessed the way to open the door, he took off the armor on his palm to reveal the golden coat of arms, and then slowly leaned towards the coat of arms on the door post.
When the two coats of arms were completely fitted together, Chen Kai felt that the magic power in his body began to drain out, and the magic value was dropping at oo points per second. It was only after three seconds that the loss of this magic power stopped, and at that time, the coat of arms on Chen Kai's hands and the coat of arms on the doorpost had begun to slowly lighten.
Under the golden light, the coat of arms that originally protruded from the doorpost was slowly sunken down by Chen Kai, and at the same time, the originally closed gate of the manor slowly opened. When the coat of arms was completely sunk into the doorpost, the door was completely opened, and at the same time, Chen Kai felt that the attraction of the coat of arms that had been glued to the palm of his hand had completely disappeared.
"This opens?" Everyone stared blankly at the open door, the gate that had not moved at all under Zhao Tiezhu's brute force was now completely open. The situation in Chen Kai's manor was completely and clearly exposed in front of everyone's eyes, there was no rustic castle like Bath Manor, nor a large number of vassal farmers, but only a variety of exquisite buildings and a huge castle with a faint white glow.
"It's so beautiful" looked at the manor, everyone was stunned and let out a burst of exclamation, the first thing they saw after entering the manor was a huge fountain that was ten meters wide and more than three meters high. The fountain is flanked by straight boulevards leading to the interior of the manor, and there are numerous spell irrigation systems on the lawn and under the trees, which shocked and stunned everyone.
Among all the people, only Chen Kai and Xuehaifeng were calmer, after all, Chen Kai had already seen the whole map of the manor when he got the manor, although he was secretly frightened in his heart about the gorgeousness and beauty of the manor, but at least he already had an impression in his heart, so he would not be too surprised. As for Xuehaifeng, it was because he had seen too many such manors during his time in the imperial capital, although Chen Kai's manor was very beautiful in appearance, but compared to the manors of those dukes and marquises, it couldn't even be compared.
However, Blood Sea Peak was still secretly surprised, after all, such a manor now belonged to a player like him, which was really surprising to him. Because he knew that this kind of manor would never be given to a knight-level nobleman, after all, the manor of the same shape belonged to a viscount or earl. Chen Kai obtained such a luxurious manor as a player knight nobleman, and this matter itself was worth gossiping about in the Blood Sea Peak, but before that, he had to take a good look at the entire manor.
Although he saw a lot of manors, he was not able to carefully examine the entire manor at one time, because in the past, he had carefully followed Anderson's mind on tasks and collections, and naturally he would not have enough careful observation of the things in those manors.
After Chen Kai closed the lid on the outer doorpost, he found another coat of arms inside the manor, and Chen Kai quickly closed the door in the same way. After closing, the entire gate, along with the spell defense system on the surrounding walls, was activated again, and a trace of magic energy continued to beat on the wall.
Looking at the glimmer of magic energy that kept flashing, Chen Kai felt a little sense of security in his heart, but soon this sense of security was replaced by another kind of feeling. As soon as he thought of the magic crystals needed behind those spell energies, Chen Kai felt a lot of pressure, and after seeing those spell irrigation systems on the ground, Chen Kai's pressure was even greater. But fortunately, for the time being, the maintenance of these equipment is borne by the Dawn Temple, and Chen Kai has already paid a large amount of maintenance fees.
However, if Chen Kai knew that the large amount of maintenance costs was limited to maintaining the minimum consumption of the manor, he didn't know that he would vomit blood in anger. Of course, he didn't know about this for the time being, because he was still following the other people's butts and admiring this manor of his own. In this manor, there is a separate martial arts arena, that is, a place dedicated to training combat skills, and a huge stable, which can accommodate more than thirty war horses.
After seeing the stable, Chen Kai and the others immediately thought of Lal and them, who had been locked up in the pet badge, and more than a dozen Andean war horses and several other high-level war horses were all released. But before they could have fun, they were driven to the stables. Although the manor has an independent racecourse, it is only a two-kilometer section of Happy Valley around the manor, which is not particularly suitable for running a well-bodied war horse like the Andean warhorse.
Chen Kai estimated that even if he ran more than a dozen laps in this kind of Happy Valley, Lal would not necessarily sweat, after all, there were too many places where it turned. It is estimated that before the degree of Lahr has been raised, it will have to be reduced and then turned. It's just that Lal and they don't pay attention to Chen Kai's kindness, and after being locked in the stable, all the Andean horses, including Lal, sneezed in protest, but unfortunately their owners didn't pay attention to it, just added fresh feed to them and left to continue visiting the manor.
Next to the manor castle is a small alchemy room, although the house is relatively small, but the things are very complete, and at the same time, under the effect of magic power, it is unusually clean and tidy. Adjacent to the alchemy room is a spell room, and it is clear that the two rooms were used exclusively for the mages of the manor in the past. After all, many nobles will recruit some spell advisors, or these nobles are good mages themselves.
Xu Fei and several of their spell casters looked at the two real yàn rooms very happily, although their level was not high, but a real yàn room could make them easily implement a lot of spells. After all, in the real room of the game's spells, it is equivalent to a small copy, in which they can unscrupulously release attacks on spell targets to improve their spell proficiency.
As for the alchemy room, it is even more powerful, and the success rate of alchemy in it will be much higher, especially for Xu Fei's newly mastered equipment alchemy. After all, the most important thing in the alchemy room is the alchemy furnace built with spell metal, which can produce a very high temperature and the flame is very stable. Of course, the price is very expensive, even the lowest-level stove costs several thousand gold coins, and the stove in Chen Kai's real yàn room is a type furnace, which requires at least 10,000 gold coins.
However, although the stove is good, it is more expensive, and each time you use the stove, you need to put in a dozen fire elemental spell crystals, as well as other fuel. Basically, it can be used for a maximum of half an hour at a time, and what is burned in half an hour adds up to at least five hundred gold coins. Therefore, many players think that learning alchemy is burning money, and you may not be rewarded after you burn it. Of course, for the time being, Chen Kai didn't plan to let Xu Fei and them use that furnace, after all, for their alchemy level, using such high-level equipment as an alchemy furnace was too luxurious. Now that Xu Fei and Wang Xue can learn the skill of tattooing spells on their armor, that is already Chen Kai's greatest luxury, of course, provided that they don't use the two expensive materials of elemental crystal powder and spell crystal powder.
After leaving the two real rooms, Chen Kai and the others quickly walked to the center of gravity of the entire manor, that is, the high castle. The gate of the castle had been automatically opened by itself when Chen Kai opened the outside door, and by the bright sunlight outside, Chen Kai could clearly see the situation of the entire castle hall, the huge and spacious hall had an area of nearly five hundred square meters. Three wooden handrails and marble staircases stand diagonally at the back of the hall, while numerous elaborate patterns adorn every part of the hall.
The most important thing in this qiē is the strange door in the northwest corner of the hall, which is as black as ink, and the numerous spell crystals and a huge silver spar on the gate indicate the true identity of this flash door, that is, a spatial door. It's just that this space door is temporarily closed, after all, the consumption of every time the space door is activated, and the loss of magic crystals and spell crystals alone is enough to make Chen Kai's flesh ache for most of the day.
Because Chen Kai's portal is not a public portal, but a private portal. That is, all the transmission costs must be borne by Chen Kai alone, of course, the security factor of transmission is much higher. Especially after getting the silver-white small spar under the portal, as long as Chen Kai needs him, he can teleport back from other places at any time, and it will only cost a lot of money at most. At the same time, Chen Kai could also spend money to ask those space mages to make some more return spars, that is, the kind of silver-white small spars that Chen Kai pinched in his hands. With this kind of spar, Chen Kai and the others can run away at any time once they encounter danger, as long as they are not trapped in a certain locked space, they can come back in an instant no matter where they go.
Of course, because the farther away the space spell is, the higher the energy required, so if Chen Kai wants to return to this manor from the other end of Big 6, then the consumable spar alone is enough to make him completely bankrupt. Of course, it is also possible that he has not yet climbed out of the space gate, and he is directly lost in the void astral space. However, this kind of thing can actually be avoided, as long as Chen Kai puts enough magic crystals or spell crystals into the magic crystal storage pool below the space door, then no matter where he comes back, he can have enough strength to open the space door.
It's just that the magic crystal storage pool under the space door is too big, and at the same time, Chen Kai doesn't have so many crystals in his pocket to put in, and at the same time, the spell crystals and magic crystals in the entire imperial capital are expensive to death. Chen Kai has no plans to buy spars and store them in the storage pool for the time being, but he can ask the space mage to make some more spars for the return trip. Because Chen Kai found that this kind of spar could be reused after inquiry, as long as he used magic power as a guide when activating, he could wave the effect of the spar. This kind of mana consumption is very rare, according to the distance of about ten points of mana per hundred kilometers, even a pure brute warrior without intelligence can easily use it.
At the same time, the cost of making zuò this kind of spar is much cheaper than buying magic crystals and spell spars, who makes the entire imperial capital too many high-level professionals. With such fierce competition, most space mages didn't dare to set the fee too high, otherwise the money would be earned by others.
After seeing the space door, the other things of the castle were much less attractive to Chen Kai, after all, the others were just to look at the situation of the room and visit the structure of the castle. However, among these things, there was still one place that attracted Chen Kai's attention, and that was the treasure room located under the castle.
The entrance to the treasure room is in the master bedroom of the castle, which is the room after Chen Kai. The entrance is very hidden, only by turning the handle of the large bed in the middle of the bedroom can be opened, and after entering the passage, there is a long staircase that descends, and at the bottom of the staircase is the treasure room with a stainless steel door and carved into a defensive circle.
The opening method of the entire treasure room is very simple, and it still relies on Chen Kai's coat of arms that are not printed on the palm. After opening the treasure vault, the contents were the same as Chen Kai had guessed, a clean mess, except for a few weapon racks for weapons and an empty box for gold coins, there were hardly any gold coins, even the shadow of silver coins. The whole treasure house is very clean, and you can see your own shadow through the smooth ground.
However, Chen Kai was very happy after seeing the treasure vault, he finally didn't have to worry about the expensive items in the backpack that would explode because they were hung up. At the same time, the most important thing is that they have a team warehouse, which is another feature that Chen Kai thought of for the treasure vault. Under the sluggish eyes of Blood Sea Peak, Chen Kai and the others quickly took out all the worthless things in their backpacks. From delicate oil paintings to fine works of art, there are also a plethora of gold nuggets stacked together. Of course, there were piles of purple iron ore and well-preserved various spell materials, after shaking off the empty space storage equipment, Chen Kai and more than a dozen of them were happy and relieved, because they no longer had to carry a lot of things around.
Of course, none of the many items are worth more than five thousand gold coins, after all, there is still an outsider named Xuehaifeng, and it is not easy for Chen Kai and them to expose all their family backgrounds. But that's just it, the rich collection is enough for Blood Haifeng's mouth to fit three duck eggs. Because he saw that in less than half an hour, the treasure trove that was originally nearly three hundred square meters was almost filled, although many of them seemed to him to be worthless miscellaneous items and works of art. But it takes a lot of energy and skill to be able to collect so many things, especially the few sets of black armor stacked in the corner, Blood Sea Peak can clearly see that those armors are all trophies, and the level of the original owner is very high. Because the edges of those armors were decorated with a trace of gold thread.
It's just that the things they collected were obviously very messy, although everything from oil paintings to sculptures was included, many things were worthless. But that was Chen Kai's own hobby, and Xuehaifeng had no reason to say it. He was most concerned about the origin of the gold bars piled on the ground, and what the spell materials were in the boxes. Unfortunately, before he could ask, Chen Kai pulled him out of the treasure house in a hurry, because the coat of arms of the palm told him that someone was looking for him outside.
After Chen Kai has now come into contact with the coat of arms on the door post, the coat of arms in his palm seems to have a lot more abilities, for example, when someone knocks on the door outside, his palm will be hot, and the system will also give a hint. This ability has never been seen in the past, and it has never been present.
"Hello, is the knight of Berkner in the house? I am Lord Anderson's butler, and my lord asked me to come to you and Mr. Xuehaifeng to his mansion together" When Chen Kai opened the gate of the manor, an old man wearing a standard aristocratic butler's tuxedo robe stood in front of him with an unusually spirited spirit, and there was a carriage behind him. Obviously, the other party was planning to directly pick up Chen Kai and Xuehaifeng together, but after seeing the other people who came out after Chen Kai, the old butler gave up this idea, and instead handed over the parchment scroll representing the invitation to Chen Kai and left in the carriage alone.
"What's the boss looking for us?" Xue Haifeng looked at the parchment scroll in Chen Kai's hand very curiously, because the font was too small, he couldn't read what was written on it.
"Nothing? We have work to do," Chen Kai threw the parchment roll to Xuehaifeng, then turned around and walked into his manor. Xuehaifeng took the parchment scroll that Chen Kai threw over, and after reading a few words, his mood began to become very bad.
"Isn't it asking us to help stop that old woman, isn't this my life?" Blood Haifeng clutched his head still wrapped in gauze and had a headache, because the parchment roll Anderson gave this time could be said to be a distress letter. He hoped that Chen Kai and the others could help him drag the eldest princess at the banquet in the evening and prevent her from soaring at the dinner party. After all, Anderson and the eldest princess don't have a good relationship, which is famous, and at the same time, although Anderson is more powerful in terms of force, he still can't beat the old woman, after all, the family is a royal family and a sacrifice. He simply can't and can't be rude to the Grand Duke.
Therefore, Anderson, who received the news, naturally thought of finding a replacement for the dead ghost, not a shield. And Chen Kai and they entered Anderson's eyes very unexpectedly, who made Chen Yi and the eldest princess chat so happily, naturally became Anderson's best shield. However, the only more painful estimate is Xuehaifeng, after all, he was beaten into a pig's head not long ago, and God knows if the eldest princess will beat him again on a whim at night.
