Chapter 555: The Behemoth of the Underground Wine Cellar

"Your Excellency Ke Qing, just now I used the heart of a villain to save the belly of a gentleman, so please don't blame me, Your Excellency Ke Qing."

Surprised, Marquis Rose cheered up and first smiled awkwardly at Lei Xiao to express his apology.

Immediately afterwards, a look of awe-inspiring expression appeared on his square face, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I didn't expect that those gangsters would have already ambushed murderous intentions, it's so hateful!"

"I'm afraid the one who really wants to get rid of you is the master behind them."

Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, and changed the topic: "Okay, the most urgent thing is to find out the reason of the matter. Since Her Highness the Princess and I are here, then, I might as well give you a helping hand."

"That's right, this place is under the rule of my Lengyan royal family. As the fifth princess, I will naturally not sit idly by."

Ariel nodded slightly, and also took a step forward, frowning slightly, agreeing.

"Your Majesty, thank you Your Highness the Princess! Thank you Your Excellency Ke Qing!"

Marquis Rose was overjoyed, bowed his huge body again, and bowed sincerely to Lei Xiao and the two in front of him.

Marquis Rose clearly understood in his heart.

Although I don't know what those envoys did to this castle, but Your Excellency Ke Qing has a fifth-order powerhouse of the township level by his side. This is undoubtedly the greatest guarantee to solve the crisis!

At this moment, Marquis Rose couldn't help but have a lot of thoughts in his heart.

Compared with the other three waves not long ago, the envoys of the princes from the capital.

Her Royal Highness the Princess and Your Excellency the Guest in front of them, although they also have the same purpose of wooing themselves, their sincerity and attitude are completely different from the previous arrogant and unreasonable messengers.

The most important thing is that at this stage, it has been confirmed.

The other envoys aimed at their own lives, but Her Highness the Princess and Your Excellency Keqing in front of them were helping each other in times of crisis. The gap between them was like a gap, so it was self-evident.

While sighing inwardly, Marquis Rose nodded to Lei Xiao and the others first, and then said: "Then thank you all, let's find out the cause of the vibration first!"

"That's exactly what it means. Regarding the information we have, it's like this..."

Lei Xiao nodded, and described the dangerous monster smell he suddenly felt when he was in front of the city gate, and the dangerous monster smell he felt again when the shock happened just now, and described it all to Marquis Rose.

"So that's the case. No wonder Your Excellency Ke Qing mentioned the matter of Warcraft just now."

After pondering for a moment, Marquis Rose slapped his thigh and said, "So, the shock just now is very likely caused by that mysterious monster?"

"It's almost confirmed. As long as we can find the trace of the monster, everything will naturally be solved."

Nodding to Marquis Rose, Lei Xiao said to the snow wolf woman beside him, "Bai Wei, can you trace the scent of that monster now?"

"My lord, when the trembling ends, the weird smell of the monster disappeared again."

Bowing to Lei Xiao, Bai Wei responded, "Coupled with the strong scent of flowers and wine, it's almost hard to track."

Dai Mei frowned and said this, Bai Wei thought for a moment, and added: "However, according to my subordinates' identification, the smell should come from the end of this corridor!"

"End of the corridor?!"

Marquis Rose was stunned for a moment, and suddenly revealed a bright expression: "That location is the entrance to the wine cellar of the City Lord's Mansion. Every wave of envoys before has visited it. It seems that the strangeness is likely to be there! "

"It's not too late, let's go check it out."

Nodding his head slightly, Lei Xiao immediately snapped his fingers and said.

"Everyone, please follow me this way!"

The Marquis of Rose pinned the roses into the skirt again, and then took nervous and elegant steps.

Under the guidance of Marquis Rose, the group quickly left this luxurious living room.

Just walked out of the door of the living room and came to the spacious corridor of the castle.

Several commanders of the Lanleng Castle Guards, either in armor or robes, immediately surrounded the Marquis of Rose.

I saw these commanders first saluted Ariel, who was Princess Leng Yan, symbolically, and then began to report.

After collecting the news from several commanders, Lei Xiao learned about it.

This sudden shock seemed to only affect the center of Lan Leng Fort, the area where the City Lord's Mansion is located.

This point is undoubtedly confirmed from the side, and the strangeness indeed appeared in the wine cellar underground of the City Lord's Mansion.

"My lord, what should we do now?"

After the report was over, one of the middle-aged magician commanders in blue robes stepped forward, bowed and asked Marquis Rose.

"According to the information, there seems to be traces of unknown monsters appearing in the underground wine cellar, so just in case, everyone in the castle should be evacuated as quickly as possible."

Nodding to the middle-aged magician commander, Marquis Rose said with a dignified expression.

"Unknown monster?! In the underground wine cellar?!"

Surprised, the commanders of Lan Lengbao first looked at each other in dismay, and then bowed together to accept the order: "Obey! Lord City Master!"

"In addition, all the main roads of the City Lord's Mansion are completely blocked. Without the order of the City Lord, no one is allowed to enter or leave at will!"

Ning Mei pondered for a while, and Marquis Rose added again.

"Don't worry, my lord."

The leading middle-aged magician commander put his hand on his chest again and said in command.

Immediately, the middle-aged commander asked respectfully again: "My lord, the current situation is still unclear, why don't you and Her Royal Highness the princess evacuate first, and let your subordinates and others lead the elite soldiers to thoroughly investigate the underground wine cellar? "

However, as soon as the middle-aged commander's words fell, the ground where everyone was standing trembled again without warning.

Lei Xiao could clearly feel the tremor of the earth.

The unexplained shock this time was obviously much stronger than before.

So much so that even the precious paintings hanging on the walls of the corridor shook violently, making a "tattling" sound.

"Time is running out. The several small breweries in the Lord's Mansion and the huge collection of underground wine cellars are the lifelong efforts of the successive Lords of Blue Leng Castle. At the same time, they are also the foundation of my winemaking status in Blue Leng Castle. , the city lord will naturally protect it himself.”

After a while, when everything became quiet again, Marquis Rose waved his hand slightly, and said solemnly: "In short, you don't have to worry about other things, just follow the orders of the city lord."

"...Obey! Please be extremely careful, Lord City Lord and His Royal Highness the Princess!"

Several Lan Lengbao commanders whose strength was at the third-tier level gritted their teeth, and they turned into phantoms one after another, disappearing in front of everyone.

Seeing this scene, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.

With all the unknowns at present, it is indeed not safe here.

It is conceivable that a monster that can make the entire City Lord's Mansion tremble is naturally not something in the pool.

However, in his seven-member team, there are two powerful fifth-order powerhouses, one of whom is transformed from the overlord-level dragon clan on the mainland.

Therefore, in such an area with extremely limited space, it is naturally enough to deal with any crisis.

"His Excellency Keqing, Your Royal Highness, do you really want to help me?"

After the commanders left, a trace of hesitation appeared on the rough face of Marquis Rose, and asked.

"Your Excellency, City Lord, lead the way ahead. Since Her Highness the Princess and I have agreed to you, we will naturally do what we say."

Lei Xiao smiled lightly and responded.

Needless to say, this sudden crisis is undoubtedly the best opportunity for him to subdue this elegant man, how can he easily miss it?

"Thank you so much, please follow me!"

Marquis Rose's face was full of uncontrollable gratitude, and he walked at the front of the team again.

Under the guidance of Marquis Rose, a group of people moved forward rapidly along the spacious and luxuriously decorated corridors of the castle.

In the end, they came to an extremely heavily guarded metal gate.

"Your Excellency Keqing, Your Royal Highness, this is where the underground wine cellar of the City Lord's Mansion is located."

Marquis Rose ordered the guards in heavy armor to open the gate, and introduced: "Because magic prohibition will affect the quality of wine storage, so here are all physical protective measures."

After a pause, the Marquis of Rose smiled and said: "Of course, the locks on these doors are all carefully made by Leng Yan's top locksmiths. Unless they are forcibly broken, they cannot be opened at all, which can be regarded as making up for the lack of magic restrictions. Not enough."

"So that's the case, then let's go in and find out."

Surrounded by his subordinates, Lei Xiao took his own steps again.

After entering the gate, a spacious passageway going downwards appeared in front of Lei Xiao.

It should be for the convenience of storing drinks back and forth. This passage is not designed as a ladder structure, but a spacious downhill that is not steep, winding down all the way, just like the passage of an underground parking lot.

Next, after Marquis Rose led the way, after opening two iron gates and metal gates one after another on the way, Lei Xiao, who walked straight to the end of the passage, discovered it.

At this moment, what appeared in front of him was an extremely huge underground space with a full thousand square meters.

In the subterranean space with soft light, a large number of oak wine barrels are neatly arranged. At a glance, they are densely packed and almost endless, which can be described as extremely spectacular.

At the same time, the sweet and sour aroma of fruity wine mixed with oak flavor is even more tangy. Although it is rich, it is not pungent, which makes people feel like walking into nature. A sense of freshness.

"Your Excellency, this is the underground wine cellar, the most common wine storage area. As for other boutique wine storage areas, there are six more, all of which are almost the same size as this one, and some of the areas have extremely complicated furnishings, like It's like a maze..."

When Lei Xiao saw this, Marquis Rose, who was beside him, continued to move forward with graceful steps, while introducing.

Only now did Lei Xiao understand.

It turned out that this is just the underground hall of the wine cellar. In addition to displaying a large number of ordinary wines, there are also several passages leading to other wine storage areas.

"As expected of the underground wine cellar of the city lord's mansion, which is a professional brewer, the scale of this dungeon is simply astounding."

After listening to Marquis Rose's introduction, Lei Xiao couldn't help sighing secretly in his heart.

You must know that the fine wine produced in Lan Leng Castle is of great value, and it is almost exclusively for the nobles and wealthy businessmen, and it is not a drink that ordinary people can consume at all.

And the wine brewed by the Lord's Mansion of Lan Lengbao is the best among them, and the price can often be several times higher.

It can be seen from this that the display in this place alone is already considered priceless.

Just when Lei Xiao thought of this, the group of people had already passed through the large-scale underground wine cellar hall, and came to several metal gates lined up in a row.

"Your Excellency, this outermost underground hall has alcohol in and out almost every day, so it's natural that something strange will not come out here, and there is no trace of damage to the surrounding area."

Walking to Lei Xiao's side, Marquis Rose said solemnly: "It can be seen from this that the mysterious monster must be hiding in the other six areas!"

"Bai Wei, go and confirm."

Signaling Marquis Rose to be safe, Lei Xiao immediately nodded to the Snow Wolf Clan woman beside her.

Needless to say, in such a huge underground space, it would undoubtedly be too much of a waste of time to investigate carefully one by one.

Judging from the current trend of intensified shocks, the time left for our own side is already extremely limited.

"My lord, this subordinate has confirmed just now that the smell comes from the outermost part!"

Without hesitation, Bai Wei stretched out her slender fingers, and then pointed to the metal gate on the far right.

"House...is actually the second district of fine wine?"

On the rough face of the Marquis Rose, there was a look of beating his chest and feet, and he blurted out: "There is nearly half of the top-quality wine stored in the City Lord's Mansion there. I hope there is not too much loss..."

After finishing speaking, Marquis Rose seemed to have remembered something again, clenched his fists and said, "Sure enough, one of those messengers did it!"

"oh?"

Lei Xiao showed curiosity while signaling the other party to lead the way.

"Your Excellency, this way please."

The Marquis of Rose regained his energy, and the elegance on his body had already turned into anger.

Then he continued: "Because the collection of the second area of ​​fine wine is extremely precious, even the professional winemakers in the castle are not allowed to set foot there. Therefore, only those envoys from the capital who insisted on visiting, I reluctantly opened it to them. door."

After a pause, Marquis Rose shook his head helplessly, and added with some embarrassment: "Besides, in order to emphasize that the treasures here are well preserved, I also revealed to the other party that I also don't come often..."

"I see."

After listening to the other party's explanation, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.

Next, just after Marquis Rose opened three metal doors in a row, and walked through a long passage.

A new underground area appeared in front of the group of people.

At this time, Lei Xiao noticed in surprise.

In this equally vast space, an unbelievably huge shadow is about to move in the deepest corner.
