Chapter 424 Deliberate or accidental?
This most notorious alpine manor in the imperial capital really seems to be built on a mountain. It even suddenly gives people the feeling of climbing up an imperial mountain.
The cliff was brutally destroyed. Bai Ye couldn't help but glance at Sean, but Sean just looked at the steel monster he created with excitement on his face and showed no other expression.
The sound of the cliff being plowed was loud, but Bai Ye still heard the disdainful voice of Luo Xi next to him.
“Hey, this guy’s method of winning people’s hearts is still so straightforward.”
She couldn't help but look over, then turned her head and said calmly: "This is not the first time he has done this, and both he and I know it very well - but even though I knew it was his way to bribe me, I still didn't realize it. Falling in, this is probably the sincerity of the bad guy?"
Luo Xi sneered: "When you think so, Sean's purpose has been achieved."
Bai Ye just held back. Twisting her hair, she is already extremely delicate, coupled with the elegant and cool temperament she has cultivated since she was a child, her casual movements are a bit hard to take away.
"Then you specifically reminded me, are you trying to make me be wary of Sean or to be wary of you?"
Luo Xi narrowed her eyes slightly. Although she is a princess, she is not as good as Hongchao. This ghost place really can't be called raising people. When it comes to other things, she never feels that she will lose to others, but this kind of elegant temperament is indeed something she has never possessed.
Of course, she didn't feel like she needed it either.
But Bai Ye’s reaction was quite interesting.
Based on the previous actions, Luo Xi immediately concluded: Sean, the bastard, must have slept with the princess several times, and the latter was probably doing it voluntarily.
She smiled slightly: "It's not necessary, it just looks familiar."
Bai Ye subconsciously continued: "Looks familiar?"
Luo Xi looked indifferent and slightly helpless: "After all, Sean has used these methods on me too many times. I just remind you not to be like me and always become his victim."
Bai Ye turned his head away as if he didn't care: "Thank you for reminding me."
"You're welcome."
The conversation between the two people was mixed in the noise. It was barely audible, but that wasn't a problem for Sean.
Just like the tit-for-tat confrontation between the two, this is not a problem for Sean.
He just raised the corners of his mouth slightly, pretending he didn't hear.
The monster transformed from the steel deck finally destroyed most of the entire cliff, and they also saw the entire mountain manor.
There is a large area at the edge that is fenced off, presumably that is where the Queen fell.
As soon as Bai Ye took a step forward, she saw Sean waving casually, and the area that was strictly forbidden to enter and exit was swept by an invisible strong wind. It was blown clean all of a sudden and was no different from other places. .
A look of relief flashed in the princess's eyes, and she quickly followed Sean's pace.
Luo Xi, who was at the back, raised his cheeks and said to himself: "Despicable", and then followed him.
This mountain manor covers a huge area. However, after the death of the owner of the manor, most of the place was sealed off. The yard that was supposed to be full of flowers and plants was now overgrown with weeds, and there was a gloomy atmosphere in every corner.
Bai Ye followed behind and said: "This manor was finally in the hands of the Bai Qiangwei family, that is, Grand Duke Wen Kun. They basically emptied the manor of all valuable resources, and finally left one It's an empty shell, but there are always people guarding here."
Sean poked his head around and said casually: "All the people guarding are dead... Hey, is that the main entrance? , so you don’t have to climb through the window.”
This is indeed how this guy behaves... The two girls shook their heads in unison and quickly followed.
There is no one in the empty manor, and the area covered by this place has been exaggerated to a certain extent.
Although they were just walking slowly, Sean and the others were still much faster than ordinary people. Even so, it took them a few minutes to reach the main entrance.
“Your grandpa’s manor is as big as half of the palace, right?” Sean said in wonder.
Bai Ye's face was expressionless: "I have never called grandpa. To be precise, I have never met him a few times. I only remember that he is an old man with a very long beard."
As he spoke, a few words People have arrived at the main entrance.
The steps in front of the main entrance are fifty or sixty feet long, and are wide enough to accommodate several cars walking side by side.
Going up, there is a special seal affixed to the gilded door, and next to the seal is a small seal with a white rose symbol.
Sean just snapped his fingers, then casually tore up the seal and walked in.
Even though he was well-informed, Sean couldn't help but sigh after walking in.
"I'll go... No wonder you always want to get the inheritance back. Your mother's family background is really strong, right?"
Even though the hall with a height of more than ten meters is covered with dust, you can see all kinds of gorgeous and expensive decorations. The oil paintings and statues on display have long been moved away, but even so, the bases left behind are all full of gold. .
Even Luo Xi asked doubtfully: "Although he is a relative of the emperor and has a high position, is this too luxurious? The empire is almost the emperor's word. Can he allow such a noble family? Exist?"
Bai Ye nodded: "My mother's surname is Ye, and that's how I got my name. There are three grand dukes, six marquises, and twenty-seven earls in the Ye family's genealogy. Countless viscounts and barons had great say in the military at their peak. Otherwise, the Ye family would not be qualified to build such a large mountain manor without being held accountable."
Sean said thoughtfully: "I don't know the information here. I have only heard part of the glorious history of the Ye family - Tsk, if you put it this way, your father-in-law's rise must also have been helped by his father-in-law. ?”
Bai Ye continued: “Of course, in addition to the emperor’s uncle and my father, there were other princes and princesses vying for the throne, and the Ye family almost helped my father on his way to the throne. This is also the reason why the Ye family has enough confidence. I remember my mother told me before she passed away that the Ye family is the only family that has inherited it from the beginning. "
"Tsk, the old-school aristocracy is gone, but the buildings are empty. There aren't many people who remember the Ye family now." Sean smiled.
Bai Ye walked to the center of the hall, where there was a huge and gorgeous chandelier. Even if it had been covered in dust for more than ten years, you could still see the luxurious gems hanging everywhere.
"My grandfather hung himself from this chandelier." She said calmly.
Sean walked over and looked up: "That's quite strenuous, right? It's so high, you have to climb a ladder to hang yourself."
Bai Ye: "...my grandpa should have been the same before he was alive. Crimson level powerhouse.”
Sean shrugged: "Whether your grandpa committed suicide or feels guilty, he is dead, and the dead Crimson is just a dead person - by the way, does your family have a basement or something like that?" Bai Ye shook. Shaking his head: "I have never been here. I have been to the other manors of the Ye family a few times, but they have been sold now, leaving only this mountain manor. However, I have inquired about the news, and Bai Qiangwei After taking control of this place, we almost searched it all."
Sean nodded thoughtfully and walked inside.
After passing through several corridors and a courtyard inside the manor, he finally walked into a huge room.
The decoration of this place is equally luxurious, but in comparison, it seems very private. There are boxes everywhere, and there are still some screens and telescopes left in the boxes.
Looking out from the window of the box, you can see a huge one-way glass. This one-way glass is probably specially treated and has multi-directional refraction function. Looking out, you can see part of the cliff.
"Maybe this is where the gentlemen have fun." The corners of Sean's mouth raised a strange arc.
Luo Xi, who had gone to check other places, also came over. She looked at Sean and shook her head: "I have looked, and there are only a few places where there are energy fluctuations. They are all leftover machines. Or high-energy items, but nothing wrong was found."
Bai Ye also showed some doubts: "I thought there were some clues on the cliff, but I didn't see any traces."< br>
Shaun asked: "Where is it below the deck?"
Bai Ye said: "I had people secretly investigate many years ago. There are ordinary rock formations under the deck, and those cleaning sinks only lead to sewer pipes - if you go by your investigation results, maybe they lead to That big hole in the ground?"
Sean nodded: "It's possible...but judging from the current situation. , Grand Duke Yuantie may not be lying to you, your mother did not die accidentally."
Bai Ye's eyes flickered, and then he said: "Then I'll go deal with them, I just don't know. Where did their news channel come from?"
Sean didn't speak, he just stood in front of the one-way glass and observed.
Neither girl made a sound to disturb, until Sean raised his head and Roche asked: "What is hidden in this glass?"
"Glass is normal...but just because it is normal, it is abnormal..."
Sean held his chin and narrowed his eyes: "Alpine Manor is indeed a product of those gentlemen looking for excitement. , but people die at fixed places every day. They die with greed for wealth and despair of life... In fact, because too many people died, man-made pollution appeared here, which eventually killed the queen. . ”
“The process is the same, but there is one thing that doesn’t make sense...”
Bai Ye’s breathing became a little faster.
Luo Xi glanced at her, then looked at Sean, and said directly: "The queen's death was not accidental. It seems that everything was foreshadowed... So, it was the emperor who killed the queen?"
Bai Ye's breathing became more rapid.
However, an inexplicable color flashed in Sean's eyes: "It can be said that... However, the unreasonable point I mentioned is not this."
"That's not it?" Luo Xi showed doubts.
Sean pointed outside, where the cliff had been completely destroyed by Sean's previous actions.
“The refraction of one-way glass is not a problem with modern technology, but it is inevitable that additional refractive glass needs to be erected—according to the angle, the glass should be on the opposite side.”< br>
The other two people looked over after hearing this. Although they couldn't see it here, they knew from their memory that the place Sean was pointing at was the slums.
Sean held his chin: "For gentlemen, it is easy to expropriate land in slums to put some things. The problem is that there is no angle..."
"No angle?" Bai Bai Ye and Luo Xi were stunned for a moment, and then they both responded, "Because there are no high points in the slums?"
Sean nodded: "Yes, there are no high points... Of course, the gentlemen are sure I don't want to see anyone in the slums being 'equal' with me, so it's understandable to spend more on equipment... But what I can't understand is..."
He showed a smile: "It has been abandoned. There is obviously no need to maintain the Alpine Manor, but this one-way glass looks too clear.”
It's so clear... Bai Ye and Luo Xi both showed thoughtful expressions.
Indeed, looking from here, the refracted cliff scene is still clear.
Although there are some stains on the glass, these are just the results of years of neglect, but why is the scene reflected outside so clear? This shows that the equipment reflected here has been under maintenance.
However, those devices are most likely to be installed in slums - equipment that has no use value will generally not be maintained by anyone, and residents of slums will pick it up early and leave it unattended. The equipment is right.
The two girls couldn't help but glance at each other, both seeing the surprise in each other's eyes.
Has someone been maintaining the equipment outside?
This place must have been abandoned...
Knowing that the two girls had figured out what was abnormal, Sean walked up to the one-way glass and knocked lightly.
"Noah, can you calculate the angle of refraction?" he asked in his mind.
"Please wait... calculation completed."
"After excluding unreasonable options, a total of twenty-seven refraction plans have been screened out. All the locations where the equipment required for those plans have been sent to you, Lord Three Saints."
Sean nodded silently, and then spoke again Asked: "On the map I entered for you before, are there other mountain manors?"
"Of course, the Three Saints."
"According to the cliff angles of those mountain manors , assuming that there is a similar one-way glass here in the manor, based on this, continue the calculation."
"Please wait...the calculation is completed."
"Three Saints, all the plans have been screened. At the same time, I noticed that among all the plans in the alpine manor, there is one plan that can be used universally, and the installation location of its equipment is exactly the same."
Xiao En showed a smile: "As expected... Let me guess, it should be the edge of the slums, right?"
" Yes, Lord Three Saints, and you are very familiar with that location.”
“The original site of the Golden Dawn, the Gate of Dawn that can be reached by just climbing up, echoes the highest Imperial Mountain in the imperial capital—— Currently, a 'statue of the founding fathers' is being built above this location. ”
