Chapter 554： The behemoth of an underground wine cellar

"Your Excellency Keqing, just now, I was trying to save a gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain. Please don't blame your Excellency Keqing."

In addition to being surprised, Marquis Rose was energized, and he first smiled awkwardly at Lei Xiao to apologize.

Immediately afterwards, a look of sternness appeared on his square face, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I didn't expect those gangsters to have murderous intentions already, it's really hateful!"

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

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Lei Xiao turned his words and said: "Okay, the most urgent thing is to figure out the reason for the matter. Since the princess and I are both here, then I can simply help your Excellency."

"Yes, this is under the rule of my Lengyan royal family. As the fifth princess, I will naturally not sit idly by."

Nodding slightly, Ariel also took a step forward, and Dai Mei frowned slightly.

"My lord, thank you, Her Royal Highness! Thank you, Your Excellency Keqing!"

Hearing the sound, Marquis Rose looked overjoyed, bowed his huge body again, and gave a sincere salute to the two Lei Xiao in front of him.

At this moment, Marquis Rose's heart clearly understood.

Although I don't know what the messengers have done to this castle, but by the side of Your Excellency Ke Qing, there are fifth-order powerhouses at the town level. This is undoubtedly the biggest guarantee to solve the crisis!

At this moment, the heart of the Marquis Rose couldn't help but have thousands of thoughts.

Compared with the other three waves not long ago, the prince messengers from the capital.

In front of Her Royal Highness the Princess and Her Excellency Ke Qing, although they also had the same purpose to win over themselves, both in sincerity and attitude, they were completely different from the arrogant and unreasonable messengers before.

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

The other messengers were aiming for their own lives, while Her Royal Highness the Princess and Her Excellency Ke Qing in front of them were helping each other in times of crisis. The gap between them was like a gulf, so it was self-evident.

Thinking of this, while sighing in his heart, Marquis Rose first nodded to Lei Xiao and others, and then said, "That's hard work, everyone, let's find out the reason for the shock first!"

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

Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao described to Marquis Rose the dangerous smell that he suddenly felt when he was in front of the city gate, and the dangerous smell that he felt again when he vibrated just now.

"It turns out that, no wonder Your Excellency Keqing mentioned the matter of Warcraft just now."

After pondering thoughtfully for a moment, Marquis Rose slapped his thigh and said, "So, the vibration just now is most likely the work of that mysterious beast?"

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

Nodding to Marquis Rose, Lei Xiao turned to the Snow Wolf woman next to him and said, "Bai Wei, can you track the smell of that monster now?"

"Master, when the tremor ended, the strange smell of the monster disappeared again."

Bowing to Lei Xiao and bowing, Bai Wei responded, "In addition to the strong fragrance of flowers and wine that pervades here, it is almost impossible to trace."

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

"End of the corridor?!"

Hearing the sound, Marquis Rose was stunned for a moment, and suddenly showed a bright look: "That location is the entrance to the wine cellar of the city lord's mansion. Every previous wave of messengers has gone in and visited. It seems that something is very likely to come out. there!"

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

Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao snapped his fingers.

"Everyone, please follow me this way!"

On the other side, the Marquis Rose pinned the roses back into his shirt, and immediately took an enchanting step.

Next, under the guidance of Marquis Rose, the group quickly left this luxurious meeting room.

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

Several commanders of the Lan Leng Fort guards, either in armor or in robes, immediately surrounded the Marquis of Rose.

I saw that these commanders first gave a symbolic salute to Ariel, Princess Leng Yan, and then began to report.

After a summary of news from several commanders, Lei Xiao learned.

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

This point is undoubtedly confirmed from the side, and the strangeness really appeared in the wine cellar under the city lord's mansion.

"Lord City Lord, what should we do now?"

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

"According to the intelligence, there seem to be traces of unknown monsters in the underground wine cellar, so, just in case, immediately evacuate everyone in the castle as quickly as possible."

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

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

Surprised, several Lan Lengbao commanders first looked at each other in dismay, and then they bowed together and said: "Yes! Lord City Lord!"

"In addition, all the important passages of the city lord's mansion are completely blocked. Without the order of the city lord, no one is allowed to enter and leave at will!"

After pondering for a while, Marquis Rose added again.

"Don't worry, Lord City Lord."

The leading middle-aged magician commander once again touched his chest with one hand, leading the way.

Immediately afterwards, the middle-aged commander asked respectfully: "Sir City Lord, the current situation is still unclear. Why don't you and Her Royal Highness and her party 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 voice fell, the ground where everyone was standing trembled again without warning.

During the earthquake, Lei Xiao could clearly feel it.

This time, the unexplained vibration was obviously much stronger than before.

So much so that even the precious paintings hanging on the walls of the corridor swayed violently back and forth, making a "tatter" sound.

"Time is too late. The several small craft breweries in this city lord's mansion, as well as the huge collection of underground wine cellars, are the lifelong efforts of the previous lords of Lanleng Castle, and at the same time, they are also the foundation of my brewing status in Lanleng Castle. , the city lord will naturally protect it himself."

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

"...As ordered! Please be careful, Lord City Lord and His Royal Highness Princess!"

Hearing the sound, several Lan Lengbao commanders with three levels of strength gritted their teeth, and they turned into phantoms one after another and disappeared in front of everyone.

Hearing this, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.

With all the unknowns at the moment, it's really not safe here.

It is conceivable that the magical beasts that can make the entire city lord's mansion tremble are naturally not in the pool.

However, in his seven-person team, there are two fifth-order powerhouses with monstrous strength, one of which is the transformation of the dragon race of the hegemony level on the continent.

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

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

After several commanders left, a hint of hesitation appeared on Marquis Rose's face and asked.

"Your Excellency the city lord, lead the way ahead. Since the princess and I have already promised you, we will naturally do what we say."

Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao smiled faintly.

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

"Thank you very much, please follow me this way!"

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

In this way, under the guidance of Marquis Rose, the group moved forward along the spacious and gorgeously decorated castle corridor.

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

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

I saw Marquis Rose instructing the heavily armored guards to open the door, while introducing: "Because the magic ban will affect the quality of the wine, so here are all physical protection measures."

After a pause, Marquis Rose smiled and added: "Of course, the locks on these doors are carefully manufactured by Leng Yan's top locksmiths. Unless they are forcibly destroyed, they cannot be opened at all. The magic prohibition is not enough."

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

Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao, surrounded by all the subordinates, took his own steps again.

After entering the gate, a downward passage appeared in front of Lei Xiao.

It should be convenient to store drinks back and forth. This passage is not designed as a ladder structure, but a spacious and not steep downhill, which has been meandering down and looks quite large.

Next, after being led by Marquis Rose, two iron gates and metal gates were opened one after another on the way, and Lei Xiao, who went straight to the end of the passage, found it.

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

I saw that in the underground space with soft light, a large number of oak wine barrels were neatly arranged. At first glance, it was densely packed, and it was almost impossible to see the end, which was extremely spectacular.

At the same time, the sweet and sour fruity wine aroma mixed with oak flavor is even more pungent. Although it is rich, it is not pungent, making people quite fresh in nature. feeling.

"Your Excellency Keqing, this is the underground wine cellar, the most common wine storage area. As for the other boutique wine storage areas, there are six other areas, all of which are almost the same in size. Moreover, some areas are extremely complex, just like Labyrinth-like..."

Just when Lei Xiao saw this, Marquis Rose, who was standing beside him, continued to move forward with enchanting catwalks while introducing.

At this point, Lei Xiao realized it.

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 collection areas.

"As expected of the underground wine cellar of the city master's mansion, a brewing professional, the scale is simply staggering."

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

You must know that the wines produced by Lan Lengbao are of great value. They are almost exclusively provided by nobles and wealthy businessmen. They are not drinks that ordinary people can consume.

And the ones brewed by Lan Lengbao City Lord's Mansion are the best among them, and the price can often be several times higher.

It can be seen that the display in this place alone is already invaluable.

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

"Your Excellency Keqing, in this outermost underground hall, wine is poured in and out almost every day. Naturally, the strangeness will not come out here, and there is no trace of damage here."

Walking to Lei Xiao's side, Marquis Rose said solemnly: "This shows that the mysterious beast must be hiding in the other six areas!"

"Bai Wei, go check it out."

Instructing Marquis Rose to stay calm, Lei Xiao immediately nodded to the snow wolf woman beside him.

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

Judging from the current trend of intensifying vibrations, the time left for oneself is extremely limited.

"Sir, this subordinate has already confirmed that the smell comes from the outermost part!"

On the other side, Bai Wei did not hesitate, stretched out her slender fingers, and then pointed to the metal door on the far right.

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

Seeing this, Marquis Rose suddenly showed a look of beating his chest and stomping his feet, and blurted out: "There is nearly half of the top wine in the City Lord's Mansion, and I hope not to suffer too much loss..."

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

"Oh?"

Wen Sheng Lei Xiao showed a curious look while signaling the other party to lead the way.

"Your Excellency Keqing, please."

After regaining his energy, Marquis Rose took an angry catwalk.

Then he continued: "Because the treasures in the second area of ​​fine wine are extremely precious, even ordinary winemakers in the castle are not allowed to set foot, so only those envoys from the royal capital who insisted on visiting have reluctantly opened the place for them. door."

After a pause, Marquis Rose added a little embarrassedly: "Also, in order to emphasize that the treasures here are properly preserved, I also disclosed to the other party that I don't come often..."

"I see."

Hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.

Next, just after Marquis Rose opened three metal doors in a row, he passed through a long passage, and a new area appeared in front of the group.

At this time, Lei Xiao noticed with surprise.

In this equally expansive area, a huge and unbelievably huge shadow was swirling around in the corner.
