As the pretty ladies dressed in maid costumes finished arranging the cutlery with the logos of Oxford and All Souls' College, Tom Tower's melodious bells rang out, a clear and distant sound that the time had come to six o'clock.

The old man, who was sitting at the front of the middle table, wearing a red robe and black sleeves, and the shawl on his back was dragged to the ground, looked around, knocked on the table, and the people who were originally talking fell silent, and then the audience stood up.

Seeing that everyone stood up with a solemn face, Yan Funing naturally stood up as well, and saw the old man knocking on the table take off the doctor's hat on top of his head, revealing the golden Mediterranean, and he was the last to stand up, and began to speak Latin.

Yan Funing has no interest in religion and literature, so naturally he has not studied Latin, and can only understand some very simple words, most of which are prayers, but the prayer of the old gentleman in front of him seems to be a little different from the prayer of the church, in which the word "veritas" (truth) appears several times.

But in conclusion, Yan Funing understood it completely, that is, he had seen the Oxford motto several times on campus: "Dominus illuminatio mea!" (The Lord is my light)

After the old man said this familiar sentence, everyone collectively "amen" (Amen), and then all sat down, at this time the meal bag was also placed on the table, Yan Funing took the meal bag out of the basket, ignored the three dinner knives placed on the side of the plate, picked up a small silver dinner knife placed separately above the plate and began to slice.

It's not that Yan Funing is hypocritical, the bread can only be cut with a dim sum knife placed above the plate, not with the main meal knife, not only that, but the slices must always be cut from one end to the other, this is not a etiquette, but a custom.

William Perry Cavendish introduced the person who presided over the prayer just now, their dean, Edward Ficharon Howard, the current 18th Duke of Norfolk and the head of the Howard family.

However, William Perry Cavendish did not talk about the history of the Howard family, in fact, it is very possible to say that the famous movie "Another Pauline Girl" is about the Howard family side - the Boleyn family, the Howard family and Henry VIII.

History is often more bloody than reality, when the second monarch of the Tudor dynasty, Henry VIII, ruled the Boleyn family, which was half Howard, produced two beauties, one of whom became Henry VIII's queen and the other became his mistress.

At this time, the Howard family also produced a beautiful Catherine Howard, and it was the sixth queen of Henry VIII, but the queen of flowing water, the mistress of iron, and finally the queens were all beheaded, and only the mistress Mary Boleyn survived.

William did not mention it, so there was a tacit agreement not to discuss these historical issues, firstly, it was disrespectful to His Holiness, and secondly, the third queen of Henry VIII was Jane Seymour, that is, the great-great-great-.....great- Auntie and grandmother.

If Cheng Mo is here, he will definitely be able to think of the bloody stories behind them, but Yan Funing is not Cheng Mo, he only dabbles in history slightly, and he doesn't know that the people sitting around him are all important historical figures who have appeared in movies and TV series.

And William Perry Cavendish also had a famous ancestor who was the founder of the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge, the famous chemist and physicist Henry Cavendis.

If you want to change it in normal times, Yan Funing must think that the William Perry Cavendish in front of him must have something to do with Henry Cavendis, but since he entered the Academy of All Souls, his nerves have been in a high degree of tension, and he has been silently remembering the monitoring positions that can be seen, so his thinking has not been thinking about these unimportant things at all.

In addition, he had to remember every face in this academy, there was no doubt that these people were the chosen ones, and at the same time, he had to compare the photos given to him by Li Jiting to find out the target person, and he had to guess how the real Wanli Academy hidden underground would get in according to the buildings and topography of the Ten Thousand Souls Academy.

At this time, Yan Funing had to concentrate on all four things, not only chatting with William and them, but also finding a way to complete the task.

Yan Funing chatted with William about Einstein's manifolds, discussed their related properties, and also discussed the relationship between Einstein's manifolds and constant-curvature Riemann manifold≥s.

However, both women are different from ordinary women, and they know that when men are passionately engaged in something, the best thing for a woman to do is to devote herself to it with him, if not if she can't, at least don't bother.

Yan Funing and pretending to talk to William were extremely engaged, at this time he was already serving an appetizer, and according to the flow of British food, the next thing was the main course and dessert after the meal, Yan Funing knew that he didn't have much time, and he had to hurry up, so he replied, while pretending to subconsciously look at the row of wine glasses placed next to the plate, and said casually: " Awesome of your question, the uniqueness of the tangent cone at infinity on a non-compact Einstein manifold has always been a very interesting question, and we will first prove three new monotonicity formulations on the smaller Ricci curvature and show that they are related to the rate of convergence towards the tangent cone...... If you have a glass of wine to moisten your throat at this time, it would be better..."

William was waiting for the next sentence, and hurriedly turned around and called the waiter in the cafeteria, asking him to bring red wine, and then said with a smile to Yan Funing: "I'm very sorry, we don't have to choose the wine in Oxford, what he sends over to drink, we can only drink....."

"It's okay, I don't know anything about wine tasting, I just like to think about things in a slightly drunk state, it makes me feel like I can do anything....."

"Yes, yes, I am the same, especially after being slightly drunk, after making a huge difficult question, the pleasure is indescribable. William also became excited, and said with a fluttering eyebrow.

"Then we want to have a good drink!" Yan Funing actually doesn't like to drink very much, and he doesn't have the habit of thinking about problems after drinking, but there are very few British people who don't like to drink, and there is a bad culture among young people in Britain who are proud of binge drinking, excessive drinking, and getting drunk.

"Of course.... I remember a Chinese proverb that says?" William paused and said in his Chinese: "Wine is a thousand glasses less than a confidant!"

So Yan Funing and Feng Zhenzhen both laughed in response to the situation.

When the waiter in a tuxedo, white shirt and black bow tie came over with a bottle of red wine without labels, William explained: "The red wines of our college are all torn off the trademarks, and these wines all come from the underground of Trinity College, where there is a wine cellar with thousands of bottles, which are collected by those instructors who love wine tasting, but we must taste them blindly. 'Blind tasting' is a method of tasting wine without knowing the label information, and it is up to us to judge the characteristics of the grape variety, origin and vintage through tasting..... If you don't say it right, then I'm sorry, you can't drink the next drink....."

"Oh, that's the best rule I think your academy has, or you guys will have no qualms about drinking .....up the cellar stuff," Gwen Seymour put down her knife and fork, wiped her mouth with a napkin, and smiled.

Yan Funing felt that this rule was really bad, he knew that one day, he would definitely study red wine seriously, but now he could only hope that William was very good at red wine, otherwise his plan might be cold, he looked at the gloved waiter, put the red wine on the white napkin on his arm, slowly poured a third of the red wine into his cup, and pretended to regret and said: "If it were me, I guess I would only be qualified to drink this glass.....

Before William could speak, Gwen Seymour said, "Don't be afraid to run out of wine, sitting in front of you is the vice president of the Oxford Wine Society, who is the most enthusiastic organizer of every wine tasting!"

"Gwen, you are misunderstanding me by saying this, you also know that we have two wineries at home, and now I am working on bringing our wines to the Chinese market, and now the consumption of wine in Europe is on a downward trend, which is expected to decrease by 33.9 million cases per year, while Asia and the Americas are both growing strongly, and are expected to increase by 35.7 million cases and 23.8 million cases respectively, of which the increase in China is 16.6%, wasn't it the last time I was discussing this matter with Zhenzhen? So, drinking is not about relaxation for me, it's about work....."

"In that case, William, I'll do it for you! Speaking of drinking, maybe I'm better at it than you, or at least I'm not going to get drunk without restraint. ”

Seeing that there seemed to be a little flame in the atmosphere between Gwen and William, Feng Zhenzhen said with a smile: "Actually, I think it's a good thing to get men drunk occasionally, especially if they are engaged in research, the usual pressure is very great, and if the emotions are not released on the weekend, they will accumulate more and more..."

"Yes! Yes, what Zhenzhen said has a point!" William quickly chimed in.

"Zhenzhen, you don't know! William has been drunk unconscious all the year round, and he can't get up no matter how much he pushes?Not only that, but he also often releases pigeons, and I won't answer my calls, and if I hadn't rushed to his house and found that he was indeed sleeping, I would have thought that he must have found another woman....." Gwen said with some anger.

William smiled wryly.

Only Yan Funing knows why William is so difficult to argue, in fact, this is one of the reasons why he has never looked for a girlfriend.

Seeing that William did not argue, Gwen raised the glass that had been poured by the waiter and said, "Cheers, you have corrupted it for the gentlemanly style of the English....."

So all four of them raised their glasses, and before drinking this glass of red wine, William said pitifully, "Then can I have a few more drinks with Chris today?"

Gwen Seymour looked at Feng Zhenzhen and then at Yan Funing, "Okay! For the sake of Zhenzhen and Chris's face....."

William shook his glass a few times, took a deep inhale through his nose, and then took a sip to let the wine remain in his mouth for a while before swallowing and saying to the waiter: "There is no doubt that this is the 2001 Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte, but I don't need to go into detail about the origin and grape variety, right?"

———————————————

After three rounds of drinking, half-truths and half-truths were invincible, Yan Funing, who leaned on Feng Zhenzhen's body, activated his carrier, at this time, the tutors sitting at the middle table had left, but there were still many students still fighting in the cafeteria, but there was still no one like Yan Funing who got drunk so early, and the red-faced William laughed at Yan Funing's alcohol consumption, and took the wine glass to find someone else to continue drinking, completely unaware that Yan Funing had actually planned to "get drunk" for a long time.

At this moment, Yan Funing activated his carrier in the student dormitory that William had begun to introduce, and at the moment when his carrier was completed, that is, the moment when the last colored DNA chain disappeared in the pillar of light, Yan Funing put a silver ring that he had prepared long ago on the Ouroboros ring on the index finger of his left hand, so the remaining trace of light curtain disappeared instantly.

It stands to reason that when the light curtain disappears, Yan Funing's carrier should appear on the map, and a heavily guarded place like the Wanling Academy must be able to be monitored, but the academy at night is still calm, and it is obvious that the appearance of Yan Funing's carrier has not been discovered at all.

The reason why it was not found was naturally because of the silver ring that Yan Funing had just wore.

That ring is not an artifact, but the latest research of Taijilong, the equipment department of Taijilong, according to the principle that the level 0 carrier is not displayed on the map, made this kind of ring that can shield quantum information transmission, and only Huaguo, which is at the forefront of quantum information transmission research, has this technology.

However, this seemingly hanging technology is not very useful, because it shields the quantum satellites overhead, which means that the carrier cannot obtain energy from these satellites, which means that although the shielding ring will not appear on the map, there is also no way to use any skills, and to use the skill, the ring must be taken off first, so this technology is a little chicken.

But Yan Funing didn't choose, at least the basic quality of the carrier was still there, he looked around in the dark, this was a single dormitory, the dormitory was not big, outside the Gothic lattice window was a night, no moonlight could be seen, in the distance was a tower made of rocks, Oxford is also known as the city of Ten Thousand Towers, not in vain.

Although there was only a little light leaking in the room, Yan Funing could see it clearly, the bed was in the middle of the dormitory, with a computer desk on one side, a wardrobe on the other, and an abstract painting hanging on the bedside.

Yan Funing first walked in front of the mirror and carefully put on a human skin mask, which was given to him by Li Jiting, a simulated human skin mask made based on the face of a student of a certain Ten Thousand Souls Academy, this kind of mask is a little difficult to deceive people, but it is still easy to hide from monitoring and artificial intelligence.

Then he went straight to the front of the wardrobe and began to rummage, and immediately found the uniform worn by the Oxford students and the black robes, and now he was completely able to distinguish what these black robes meant, and the black robes with sleeves meant that you also studied at Oxford as an undergraduate, and without sleeves, it was likely that you were only a graduate student at Oxford.

At present, the robe is pure black, indicating that the other party has not obtained the title of Doctor of Philosophy, Yan Funing took the black robe out of the closet, covered himself, listened to the movement outside the door, and then cautiously opened the door, and then walked out of the dormitory.

The corridor was silent, and the cold moonlight hung in the air, casting frost in the corridor.

Yan Funing looked at the cafeteria diagonally opposite, the lights were bright, and there were black pointers cast by the moon on the sundial of the library on the side, and he cautiously walked towards the end of the corridor, the stairs were on that side, and William had said that although each building of the Ten Thousand Souls Academy seemed to be connected, they were not interconnected, and they were actually independent. If Yan Funing wants to go to the biology laboratory, he must go downstairs to the first floor and go around to the biology laboratory through the corridor on the first floor.

There were a lot of cameras in the corridors that surrounded the academy on the first floor, which was a very difficult thing for him.

In addition, he could only climb to the roof and go up from the roof, but Yan Funing believed that if he went up to the roof and would be discovered in minutes, it would be better to take the risk and try to go from the corridor to the biological laboratory with a higher success rate.

There was no sound in the stairwell, only the retro glass candlestick lamp on the wall was on, but Yan Funing saw the infrared camera facing the staircase, and he pretended to walk down as if nothing happened, if the other party didn't know everyone in this academy, Yan Funing believed that his carrier could hide from the guards.

The reason why he was sent to England was because after his carrier was dyed with yellow hair, he was almost no different from the Caucasian, probably because Yan Funing's ancestors had one-eighth of German blood, not to mention that he also had a bionic mask on his face.....
