Chapter 646: Exploring the Herb Warehouse at Night
Since the day after tomorrow will be auctioned at the "smooth" auction house in the Apomato Empire's Apomato City, without the little one's flight help, Lynsey must leave early and rush there as soon as possible.
Therefore, the matter of visiting the herb storehouse in the royal palace at night can only be chosen tonight.
After sending off Isi-senpai, Lynsey waited until it was dark and did not hear any other new news from Isi-senpai.
Obviously, the mysterious man who bought all the macaroni from several auction houses and did not necessarily give up the auction by the seller was to force Lynsey to go to the "smooth" auction house in Abomato.
Lynsey even wondered if this could be a conspiracy against herself, who was just waiting for her to go to Apomato, but had already set up a net there waiting for her to throw herself into the net?
It's not that Lin Xi is suspicious, it's that Lin Xi really can't think of any other reason.
Of course, if you suspect His Majesty Jason, it's another matter.
Although I don't know if Jason is the mysterious person, there is one thing that Linsey can almost be sure of: that is, there is no macaroni in the palace treasury as Jason said, and Linsey has always believed that the huge palace and the complete requirements of the herb storehouse will not make those officials in charge of the herb storehouse so negligent, and they don't know to collect some macaroni in advance in case of emergency.
The night quickly deepened.
Lyncy unfolded the map of the palace that Issy had given him.
With this map, it is much more convenient, at least, Lin Xi has a clear understanding of the distribution of the palace guards.
With his skills, it is equivalent to opening his eyes and walking into the palace in broad daylight, which Lin Xi has no hypocrisy.
The strength of those guards in charge of patrolling was at best at the sixth order, which was far inferior to Lin Xi.
As long as Lin Xi doesn't want to expose his body and has a map with him, Lin Xi can really do it easily.
As a result, the palace, which seemed to be heavily defended, was easily penetrated by a masked man tonight, and went deep again and again.
It is conceivable that if this masked man wants to do something unfavorable, he will be able to easily turn the palace into a mess.
But Linxi didn't have that idea in the first place.
Even if he visited the herb warehouse at night, he only verified the authenticity of what Jason said, and did not mean to do anything with Jason.
Through the corridors and jumping over several walls, Lin Xi relied on his memory of the terrain of the map before setting off, got rid of the waves of guards, and smoothly followed the map guidance to the herb storehouse.
Before I went in, I smelled a strong smell of Chinese herbs.
"This is it. ”
In the darkness, Lin Xi muttered quietly and began to look at his surroundings.
The herb storehouse is a tower-shaped building divided into five floors in total.
The first floor houses herbal texts and books.
The second to fifth floors place different herbs according to the level of the herb's preciousness, and the higher you go, the higher the level of the herb's preciousness.
According to the previous rules when macaroni was not extinct, macaroni should be placed in the ordinary herb room on the second floor.
The height of the second floor is about five meters above the ground, which is out of reach for ordinary people, but it is a piece of cake for Lin Xi.
Without using the "sword to walk", Linsey went around the back of the tower, and then suddenly jumped up and jumped smoothly through a window for ventilation.
No one noticed this.
Because the guard in charge of guarding this area had just left here, and was patrolling not far away with his back to Lynsey's angle.
Lynsey easily made it to the second floor.
The second floor, like the rest of the room, is filled with wooden cabinets that resemble bookcases, except that each bookcase is made up of many drawers, in which herbs are stored.
On the top of the drawer, there is a slip of paper with the name and effect of the herb.
Lin Xi only knew that Macaroni was usually placed on the second floor, but where on the second floor, Lin Xi didn't know.
You can only find it in one drawer, and there is no other way.
Fortunately, Lin Xi's ability to see at night is very strong, and no one in the room is still on duty so late, so Lin Xi began to scan the cabinets row by row like a gust of wind.
Yes, Lynsey used a saccade.
Because with a slight glance, he can quickly get the information on the slip of paper, and at the same time tell if this herb is the macaroni he is looking for.
A large room has more than a dozen rows of wooden cabinets, each with hundreds of drawers.
However, it only took Lynsey ten minutes to inspect nearly two-thirds of the drawers, starting from this side of the door.
However, Lynsey did not find a note with the words "macaroni" written on it.
"Isn't it here?"
Lin Xi muttered to himself suspiciously, but he quickly gave up this idea, "No, even if there is no macaroni stored on the second floor, and it must have been stored before, then that drawer must still be retained and will not disappear, after all, the drawer that has been filled with macaroni will be filled with other herbs, and it will easily cause confusion in quality due to the difference in medicinal effects and medicinal properties, so that drawer must be empty." ”
Lin Xi analyzed this while carefully examining the situation in the remaining one-third of the drawer.
Soon, Lynsey found a note with the word "macaroni" printed on it in a nondescript drawer of the penultimate row of wooden cabinets.
Lin Xi was overjoyed, knowing that he had finally found a place, whether there was a drawer or not, at least it would be beneficial to his follow-up.
Gently opening the drawer, Lin Xi couldn't help but be slightly disappointed when she found the situation inside.
Because there was nothing in the drawer, it was completely empty.
It's just a note stuck above a drawer, and there's no macaroni stored in it.
However, Lin Xi was not too disappointed, macaroni was obviously no longer stored in this drawer, for only one reason, as macaroni became so precious almost overnight that the director of the herb warehouse had to raise the value of macaroni and put it on a higher floor.
"Okay, I'll go up and have a look. ”
Lin Xi said this, but did not go up to the third floor, but went directly to the top floor quietly.
The fifth floor, like the second floor, is lined with rows of wooden cabinets.
It's just that the smell of herbs in the air on the fifth floor is stronger, and it is obvious that the herbs stored here are even more precious.
At first glance, the number of wooden cabinets is also nearly two-thirds less.
This will undoubtedly save Lynsey a lot of time.
It was late at night, and no one came up to check, and the guards on the underground patrol had carefully explored the building several times, but there was certainly no way to know if there would be anyone moving inside the building.
Lynsey probed one drawer after another.
What I saw were some medicinal herbs that were precious in the Yaning Continent.
But Linxi didn't have any other thoughts, and despite the preciousness of these herbs, he didn't put one in his pocket.
