Zhou Qingfeng thought that behind the oak door should be a study, or a living room or something. Lei Laohu in Tianyang City has such a study, which is full of books and a large desk.

Having such a study room will make the visiting guests feel that the host must be very knowledgeable. However, Lei Laohu has no knowledge, and the books in his study have shells and no pages, which are bought on Taobao and specially composed.

When he arrived in a foreign country, Zhou Qingfeng, who opened the door, thought that he would see a place of books, but it turned out to be an open-air sky garden. When he saw the flowers blooming in the sun, he almost thought he was in the wrong place.

Looking to the left and right, this was originally a semi-open place for guests to rest. The interior furnishings look ordinary and even a little old, but they are very comfortable. The host can sit in a rocking chair by the terrace and get close to nature while reading a book - really. The life of a rich man!

Zhou Qingfeng walked in slowly. As he looked around, a shout came from the corner of the meeting room. Someone greeted in Chinese: "Child, here, come here." ”

In the corner, there is a coffee table and two chairs with backrests. On a chair lay a Westerner, about sixty years old, dressed casually. The old man had a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose and was reading a book in his hand.

The man waved his hand, pointed to another chair, and said, "Sit down, child." Give me a few minutes, I'm rereading Civil War. Have you seen it? Its author is Gaius. Julius. Caesar, the founder of the ancient Roman Empire. It's a classic and I love it. ”

Caesar and ancient Rome or something, Zhou Qingfeng still knows something. But I really don't understand "Civil War" or something. He sat down and glanced at the book, but unfortunately the words on it were not readable. He turned his head again to look around, and there were a number of art decorations around him. There are wood carvings, paintings, and statues, and each one looks quite exquisite, with some origins.

The maid came to Zhou Qingfeng's side with a cart and asked with a smile. There were cold liquor and drinks on the cart, and Zhou Qingfeng couldn't understand what it was, so he casually pointed to it, and the maid poured him a cup - the drink he ordered was thick like milk tea, but it was strong wine in his mouth. Because he drank too quickly, the stimulation of alcohol hit his brain, and Zhou Qingfeng was choked and coughed.

cough cough ......, the strong discomfort made Zhou Qingfeng's face wrinkle.

The old man in the back chair had to put down the book in his hand, glanced at it, and said, "Oh...... child, you drink Baileys, which is mixed with fresh cream and fine whiskey. It is more suitable for ladies to drink, not for a sip. ”

You dead old man obviously wants to see Lao Tzu make a fool of himself - Zhou Qingfeng was still coughing, and the maid handed him a square towel to wipe his mouth and brought him a glass of water. When he took his breath, he immediately retorted: "I haven't drunk this thing, who knows if it's suitable for a sip?" I thought it was a bottle of milk tea for five dollars a bottle in a roadside shop. ”

Hehehe...... the old man threw the book in his hand on the coffee table, got up slightly and said happily: "Child, you are very special." ”

"Old man, you're pretty special, too." Being in an unfamiliar environment and helpless, Zhou Qingfeng, who should have been restrained, simply let go completely and looked directly at the other party. He took the initiative to ask, "You know who I am, but I don't know who you are?" Did you get me here just to see my jokes? ”

The old man smiled......

"My name is Caroman. Carolingian is the head of a contemporary Carolingian family. My ancestors can be traced back to Louis the Pious during the time of the Frankish kingdom. Of course, I don't have the glory of my ancestors anymore, and now I'm just an old man who likes archaeology and history. The other party shrugged his shoulders self-deprecatingly, spread his hands and smiled: "Fortunately, my ancestors left enough wealth that I can squander until now." ”

The casual white-haired old man, the old-fashioned old butler Max, and the maid in a black and white apron, Zhou Qingfeng has deeply understood what it means to be 'rich and capricious'. Unlike the flower growers, who completely eradicated the aristocracy, Europa still retains many ancient families.

The white-haired old Carolinge continued: "Son, I have known your parents for more than twenty years and are very good friends. I've even seen you look like when you were a kid, and you were pretty cute back then. Your parents are very talented, and their research has been funded by me. My Chinese was taught by your father, and I even wanted to hire him as my personal advisor.

A month and a half ago, your parents died in a car accident, which Jing Fang characterized as an accident. But when I investigated, I found that there seemed to be something hidden in the matter. I unexpectedly found a clue to track you down who had been lost for more than ten years. Therefore, I sent you back to Gaul, which is also an account of your parents, and I hope that their souls will rest in peace. ”

Speaking of 'rest for souls,' old Carolingian bowed his head and closed his eyes, drawing a cross on his chest. It's just that Zhou Qingfeng didn't feel anything about it, and continued to ask: "Then why did someone want to kill me?" ”

"Maybe the murderers of your parents are trying to get rid of you." "I haven't been able to find out who killed your parents, or what their motives were. Jing has closed the case of the car accident, and I can only ask my nephew Bacchus to continue the investigation, but so far there is no result. There are so many questions that I can't answer. ”

"Where's that guy named Howard?"

"Howard is just a normal agent. Even if you arrest him, he can't tell you who is behind the scenes? Kid, you don't have to worry about that. You are already under my protection, and I will send someone to hand over your parents' inheritance, and you will be responsible for your safety, so that you can live in peace. ”

Of course, Zhou Qingfeng was not satisfied with such a disposition, he was still in a lot of mysteries, and he had no trust in the old Caroling. After experiencing Howard's murder, he understood that these people could tell a lot of truth, but they still had to kill people.

Old Carolinge paused for a few seconds, carefully observing Zhou Qingfeng's expression. The child looked at him without timidity, neither excited nor depressed, calm as usual. He couldn't help but change the subject and asked, "Bacchus said that you have been an orphan for more than ten years, and you have made very bad friends. ”

"Yes."

"What was that experience like?"

"There are also rogues, thieves, scumbags, orphans and other very failed beings in Gaul, that's the kind of experience."

Hehehe...... old Carolinge laughed a few times and continued to get back to the point, "Kid, I'll give you two ways to go." One way, I will help you inherit your parents' property and arrange a good school for you. From then on, you go and live your own life. ”

Are you stupid to me?

This road sounds easy, but it's really so cheap Zhou Qingfeng, isn't this white-haired old gentleman-like Mr. Caroling' 'live**'? Not for fame, not for profit, to rescue the friend's widow from the sea of suffering?

Zhou Qingfeng had seen something similar in Tianyang City - a guy who thought he had met a good person chose an easy path, but was broken by Lei Laohu's leg.

"What about the other way?" Zhou Qingfeng took the initiative to ask.

Carolinge smiled, "I will also help you inherit your parents' inheritance, and also find you a good school, so that you can have a decent identity." If you are successful in your studies, I can even introduce you to the girls in your family. We will be a family, and your children may even have family inheritance. You will be a member of the high society of Gaul. ”

From the Gauls' point of view, this was not a good condition.

O grace, O grace from heaven!

You have to be grateful for the kind that Dade has.

Zhou Qingfeng also laughed, he thought to himself: This kind of old-fashioned trick, Lao Tzu has seen it no less than twenty or thirty times. When those gangsters who run underground casinos pull people to gamble, they always talk about the benefits of winning. But since ancient times, nine out of ten gambles have been lost, and people who are addicted to gambling have always been bankrupt and ruined. The cowhide blows through the sky, which is also a trap.

"Such a good treatment can't be unconditional, right?" Zhou Qingfeng asked rhetorically.

"Hahaha...... Kid, you're smart. I like your experienced, mature and steady personality. Old Carolinge did not hesitate to compliment, and did not know whether it was a real compliment or a false politeness. He straightened his clothes and said in a more formal manner, "To get my preferential treatment, you must pass a test. ”

Vote for a name?

Zhou Qingfeng didn't speak, and waited quietly......

"Don't worry, it's a simple test." Old Carolingian waved his hand at Max, the butler beside him, and said, "Go and bring that thing." ”

The indifferent old housekeeper stared at Zhou Qingfeng, and his expression always concealed suspicion and accusation. After receiving the order, he nodded slightly and retreated. Ten minutes later, when he came back again, he was still pushing a large safe on a light trailer. Four heavily armed security guards armed with firearms surrounded the safe.

The safe was pushed in front of old Caroling, and he got up and opened the disc on the front of the box, his eyes came up to verify his own eye prints, and then pressed his finger to verify his fingerprints, and then read a random word to verify the voiceprints according to the prompts on the safe. Finally, enter the password to open the safe.

The first three verifications were fine, but there was an error when entering the password, and the safe immediately sent out a jing report. Old Carolinge shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "I'm really old, and I have a bit of a memory problem, so I have to think about it." If you make a mistake in a row, the box will explode. ”

Will it explode?

Zhou Qingfeng was a little creepy, and couldn't help but want to stay away from the old man and the safe. He didn't want to die of an old man's misoperation. Just seeing that the old butler and the four security guards were not moving, he didn't want to weaken his momentum, but his face was tight.

The second time the entry is correct, the safe opens gently.

Zhou Qingfeng glanced into the box, and there was a square inside, metal texture, the size of a fist, placed on a tray. The old butler Max stepped forward and took out the cube along with the tray and gently landed on the coffee table in front of Zhou Qingfeng. Old Caroling, on the other hand, lay down in the chair, stretched out his hand and pointed to the square, saying, "Touch it." ”

The four armed security guards left the safe and condescendingly surrounded Zhou Qingfeng. He tilted his head to look to the sides, then at the metal squares on the tray, and asked, "The test you said was touch?" ”

"Yes, just touch it. It might be a little irritating, but that's okay, that's a good thing. ”

What the hell?

I got Lao Tzu from planting flowers to Gaul from all afar, just to touch the humble Tiegada.

Zhou Qingfeng slowly stretched out his hand and gently touched the upper block. The fingertips are cold and cold, and after a while, there is really a numbness of electric stimulation. When he touched it, everyone in the scene, including the old Caroling, stared at him closely, as if waiting for some rare treasure to appear.

Touched for half a minute......

Aside from the slight sense of electricity, there was no other reaction. Zhou Qingfeng didn't know if he could let go, and seeing that the others were still focused, he could only continue to press his hand on it.

"Is there a sense of electricity?" Carolingian Sr. asked.

"Yes." Zhou Qingfeng replied, "You should be able to feel it when you touch it." ”

"Really?"

"Absolutely. Is there electricity underneath this metal? I feel like the current is quite large. ”

After pressing it stupidly for five minutes, the old Carolingian man's face turned blue and white. Seeing that Zhou Qingfeng's eyes were getting sharper and sharper, he seemed to be in disbelief and quite excited.

Zhou Qingfeng was inexplicable, and he felt that this metal square transmitted a voice to him in his mind: "The verification has passed, and the matching rate is 100%." Grant permissions: Level 1 Selected. ”

it!

The current coming out of the metal square suddenly increased, and Zhou Qingfeng's palm suddenly contracted due to the current stimulation and disengaged from the square. Old Carolingian asked urgently, "Do you have any special feelings?" ”

"What the hell is talking about?" Zhou Qingfeng asked in surprise.

"Do you hear talking?" Caroling's grip on the arm of the chair was even more excited, "Can you really hear the talk?" What message do you hear? ”

Looking at the old guy's concerned look, the sound coming from the metal cube seemed to be important. Zhou Qingfeng was just about to say something like '100 percent matching rate', but a voice sounded in his head to remind him first: "Selected, it's okay to say '50 percent matching rate'." Don't mention your permissions. ”

This voice was too strange, but Zhou Qingfeng's face did not change, and he agreed with the suggestion of the inexplicable voice. He said, "I heard that the verification passed, and the match rate was 50 percent." ”

"Fifty percent?" Mr. Carolinge exclaimed again, "Fifty percent match?" The old man could no longer maintain a casual, casual, indifferent attitude as if he was in control. He was pleasantly surprised and surprised.

Now Zhou Qingfeng was puzzled - what is in this metal cube? A 50 percent match rate sounds like a failing grade, so what's the old man's pleasure about?
