Chapter 046: Sneaking into the study
Auston Castle occupies a large area and has a tough architectural style. If the heavy iron gate in front is closed, it can be said that this is a small war fortress, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
At night, the front party hall was brightly lit, and the sound of laughter continued to spread. The entire interior of the castle is constantly in operation, and various types of butlers are constantly deploying the work of waiters, kitchens, wine cellars, guest rooms, ...... All services are comprehensive.
Beyond the vestibule and garden, this is the interior of the castle. Except for the attendants who delivered things and the guards who patrolled from time to time, almost no one moved, and it seemed very quiet.
At the circular arch at the end of the garden corridor, two huge dogs with shiny black fur and sturdy bodies were prostrate on the ground, their fan-like tails boredomly sweeping the ground behind them.
If someone who knows the goods is here, they will surely recognize this as a Northland wolfdog at a glance. This dog is fierce and stubborn, fierce and abnormal, and even idle men can't get close.
Click, click......
Suddenly, the two Northland wolfhounds turned their heads to one side in unison, and something was thrown out of the flowers.
The two dogs twitched their noses and couldn't help but stand up, their tiger-like bodies moving forward, close to the rolling ...... Bone?
A little closer, a figure suddenly stood up from the garden. The two dogs' hairs exploded, and the dogs barked and pounced on the man.
"Woo ......"
With two low whimperes, the figure swept over like a storm, pinched the wolfdog's mouth, and twisted it vigorously.
Click...... The two dogs withered and fell to the ground.
"Damn, brutes are brutes, give you food, and bite me!"
"Stop talking nonsense, let's deal with it and go. Another dark shadow emerged from the flowers, dragging a wolfhound towards the archway.
Needless to say, these two are Donn and Jack.
The two slipped out of the side door while the guests were drawing attention to Earl Auston, who had come out to greet him. After changing into a night suit, he made a beeline for the interior of the castle.
"This dead dog is quite ......heavy," Jack dragged the wolfdog corpse into a crouching position in the shadow on the side of the arch. Then take out a small snap button and place it under the tail so that it can be swept continuously. Under the cover of night, I don't think anyone will pay attention to these two lazy wolfhounds lying on the ground.
"Let's go, go to the study. ”
Two ghostly figures floated around and dodged a patrol of guards before moving deeper into the castle......
In fact, the castle is still very heavily guarded, but because of the party, most of the guards Liliang have been moved to the front. So after avoiding the previous level, Donn and Jack were much less stressed.
Lines and lines are repeated......
When Don and the others dodged above the eaves, avoiding a group of patrolling guards, they finally approached their destination, the study.
The study in Don's impression is nothing more than opening up a house in a room for reading and office, which is not much bigger, and it is easier to search, which is why he chose the study in the first place.
But when he touched the study of Count Auston, he was shocked, this Nima is a library......
It's no wonder that Don has this kind of turtle mentality, because what is in front of him now is a three-story attic.
The study is naturally locked, but fortunately there is still Jack, a professional thief. If Don had come alone, he would have had to find a way to tear down the windows......
If you want to say that professional is really professional, it didn't take Jack a dozen seconds to open the turntable lock on the door with a soft wire. Pushing the door into the house, Don and Jack gradually raised their heads and opened their mouths wide, your sister......
A circular bookshelf about eight meters high burst into view, on which all kinds of tome books stand in rows, absolutely magnificent! absolutely domineering! absolutely painful...... Is it easy to take such a tall book?
It turned out that the building that looked like a three-story attic on the outside had been hollowed out inside, and the whole room was very empty except for this bookshelf and a huge desk, and there were several bonsai in the corner. ...,
Donn looked at Jack.
Jack put on lambskin gloves at this time, held a small hammer in his left hand, and a black iron block in his right hand stepped forward, and began to study carefully around the desk, bookshelf, and bonsai.
Naturally, Tang En couldn't interfere with this kind of professional thing, so he stood aside and looked at the domineering bookshelf.
Taking a closer look, Don was immediately happy. It turned out that the tomes were all brand new, and there was no trace of flipping through them, they were all decorations.
Thinking of the black-bearded Earl of Auston with a thick cigarette in his mouth that I had seen in the hall before, Donn chuckled, and I said that it didn't look like a book, and that some people said that he looked more like a pirate than a nobleman.
Jack had already focused on the bookshelf at this time, and after a while, he stopped in front of a book, and the black iron in his hand was actually attached to the wooden shelf.
Magnet...... It dawned on Donn.
Jack took down the rows of books, and couldn't help but frown, the back was empty, and knocked on the wooden cabinet, and his voice was dull.
"The dark passage should be behind here, but the trigger method is hard to find......"
"Can't break it by force?" Donn asked a layman.
Jack opened his mouth speechlessly: "Big brother, we are thieves now...... Moreover, if such a device is forcibly broken, it will definitely call the police. ”
"So what now?"
"I guess the trigger is still in these books. ”
"No......" Don looked up at the hill-like bookshelves, "I won't be able to do this until tomorrow morning." ”
"There must be some clues, the Earl of Auston is a vulgar man, and he can't remember complicated methods. Jack's eyes kept sweeping over the rows of bookshelves.
When Tang En heard this, he had to go to the other end of the bookshelf and start to observe, and I have to say, the pressure is huge! After reading a few lines, Tang En felt dazzled and his neck was uncomfortable. A distraction, Nima, what line did you just come from......
Hey!
Don, who had to start observing from the beginning again, suddenly moved in his heart, and his eyes swept back to the books.
"The Faith of the Warrior", "The Secret of Sword Forging", "The Thorn Flower", "The Art of War Command", ...... Something is wrong, well, what's wrong?
The consciousness in Donn's mind told him that there was something wrong with these books, but this consciousness was not strong enough to blurt it out, like a fish in his throat, which was really uncomfortable.
"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry......," Don En tried to stabilize his mind, "If there is a problem, it means that one of them is different from the others." Differences are hard to find, so find common ground first...... Uh, the common ground?"
Smack, Don En slapped his hands: "I know!"
"Big brother, be quiet...... Uh, you got it?" Jack, who was about to get dizzy over there, was awakened by the sudden sound.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm a little excited...... Well, you look at all the books in here, most of them are in alphabetical order, but there are a few of them...... For example, the thorn flower in this line, its initials are obviously different from the surrounding ones, and it should not appear here. ”
"Smack, yes. This time, Jack was excited, and saw that he quickly lifted the ladder erected on the side and put it up, and then twitched the book, sizzling......
With a soft thud, the book was lowered from top to bottom, and it was obvious that there was a wire the size of a little finger attached to it.
With this precedent in hand, the next few books that were placed in the wrong place were quickly found.
As the sixth book opened, the bookshelf where the magnet had been attached suddenly slid silently to the sides, revealing a bright silver metal plate with a handle.
Jack cheered and stepped forward to pull the handle.
Belch......
There was no passage behind the metal plate, but instead a huge crystal lock that shone with red, blue, and yellow light.
"Not really......" Jack groaned, grabbing his hair, "Tricolor Magic Lock?"
