Ivan walked briskly over to the tea table, which was set with a peculiar thing, consisting of a pitted panel and connected coils, and a box of steel balls beside it. This kind of thing should definitely not be on the tea table, this is not a game of pinballs, but a musical instrument.

Put the steel ball into the pit, and when you shake it, it makes a crisp sound.

With the change of Ivan's shaking voice, suddenly, with a "clang", the wall behind a landscape painting was trembling, and a thin slit cracked from the wall, gradually expanding to an area the size of a door, and the dark secret behind the door was exposed in front of Ivan.

"It's really the style of the Hewei family. Ivan snorted coldly, and walked towards the door.

It was dark inside, but the complex mechanics could still be seen, and the teeth of the gears were smeared with oil and reflected the light. Apparently it is an inverted tower, with a spiral ladder and a rococo decoration in the staircase, and sabers, arquebuses, alpaca skins, and antlers of large and exaggerated deer hanging on the pale rose-colored walls of the passage, reflecting the owner's extensive interests and experience.

In the tradition of the Howe family, every parent learns many aspects of the world from an early age, including physical geography, elemental chemistry, architecture, biological species, and weapon forging. Obviously, what was shown on these two walls, including the musical mechanism that had entered the chamber earlier, was only the tip of the iceberg of knowledge possessed by the palace owner.

With such a person as an enemy, even if it was a woman, Ivan felt a lot of pressure. He had long since considered the gap between himself as a purely mechanical and physical being and the head of the Hervey family, but it seemed that until today, he had not come up with any solution. The gap in knowledge accumulation begins at an early age, and the rich heritage of the He Wei family for hundreds of years is also an important reason why generations of parents are knowledgeable.

It is precisely for this reason that the Hewei family has always been the highest-ranking nobleman in the Gape Empire except for the royal family, and the emperor must give three points of courtesy when he sees Hewei's parents.

However, the favored retainer of the Gape Empire, the patriarch of the He Wei family, came to the Holy Dou Empire and became a noble concubine, and the problems in this are greatly debatable.

Of course, these should not be considered by Ivan, and he is not a palace guard, nor is he a legion commander, so he is too lazy to bother with this matter. If it weren't for the fact that he accidentally discovered that the head of the original Hewei family was close in front of him, he might have already embarked on the road to the Gappe Empire and wandered on the river.

One of the guys who studied the space-time experiment was specifically designed to serve as an energy provider for the space-time tunnel. He's not so much a researcher as a prisoner - imprisoned in the Institute, with tubes of all colors stuck all over his body, awake or asleep.

That person was a member of the Hewei family, and he was just an ordinary clansman, but he was able to widen the originally one-person-high space-time tunnel to three meters - by changing the amount of energy attached to the spatial structure itself, and expanding it to a surprising multiple, so that the relatively stable space-time was greatly disturbed - it was equivalent to sending out a gravitational force equivalent to a planet to bend space-time in a very small space, and even create a space-time tunnel to a deeper dimension.

So that's why Ivan has been plotting a plan to find the Hervy family all along. He wants to go back to his own time and space to live his life.

Walking down the stairs, Ivan's spirit was in a tense state at all times. After walking for more than a minute, the stairs reached the bottom, and a magnificent picture suddenly appeared in front of Ivan's eyes.

In front of the main hall is a pavilion built on the water, about two meters high, covered with black tiles, and bricks are built in the form of undulating waves. The crystal bead curtain around the pavilion pours out, behind the curtain, a graceful figure is draped in a veil and caresses the qin, the sound of the piano flows between the ups and downs of the fingertips, or virtual or real, changeable, like a quiet stream dripping spring clear and ethereal, exquisitely clear, at the end of the day, only the overtones remain, like the waves that the fish jumps over the water surface and splashes occasionally.

This is worthy of the patriarch of the He Wei family!" Ivan couldn't help but admire in his heart, and walked towards the pavilion.

The violin man stopped playing his fingers and said in a very beautiful voice: "You are a guest from afar, Yu Yan He Wei, the head of the He Wei family, you are polite here." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, you can't be a reckless man in the mountains, how can you deserve such a big gift from the patriarch?" Ivan complimented, standing at the water's edge less than ten meters from the pavilion. He did not dare to act rashly, everything here was unsettling, as if he were not an intruder, but a visiting guest, bowing down before the luxury and nobility of his master.

But Ivan is still very confident in his own strength, for this operation he brought all the research results - twelve biochemical monsters, as well as eight sets of automatic mourning whip armor, plus his own infinite justice as a certain surpass the gold-level "Gaia Bright Earth Dragon King" Tiantong and almost the first humanoid controllable extreme individual mobile armor on the continent, what else is he afraid of?

"No, Sir is too modest, to be able to unlock the inheritance mechanism of my He Wei family, and not to be confused by its voice, I'm afraid it will be difficult without a high level of musical attainment, right?"

Confused? Ivan was a little puzzled, where did the confusion come from? He just thought that the sound of the steel ball instrument was quite good, as for the confusion?

At this time, the voice of the snow night palace string sounded in his mind: "That instrument is called 'Jin Se Zhuhua', it is a very famous musical instrument of the He Wei family, and it is also a murderous secret weapon, the sound is a bit similar to ** song, but the effect is more significant." But I've filtered the sound and isolated some of the notes, so you don't feel it. ”

Ivan suddenly realized, and hurriedly said: "Where is it, the parent's 'Jin Se Zhuhua' is smart." ”

The woman in the curtain snorted softly, obviously surprised that Ivan knew so much about the instrument.

But at this time, Ivan was thinking about another thing, the Holy Dou Emperor was very fond of Concubine Yu, but judging from the personality of this noble patriarch, it didn't look like he would be conquered by that rude illiterate. The biggest possibility is that the stupid Emperor His Majesty has not seen Concubine Yu, and he has been confused by the music of Jin Se Zhuhua, as for the effect of the miscellaneous, hehe.
