Chapter Thirteen The Most Valuable Guest
Around each tower, there are exquisitely designed gardens with unique characteristics.
Standing in the garden was a lady of extraordinary splendor and elegance.
On her left stood an old man with bright eyes, and on her right stood Hu Mei, the housekeeper of the castle.
The Baron and his wife and the Barretts walked up to the lady and bowed deeply.
"Queen Sophia, nothing makes me more happy than seeing you in such good health," the baron said from the bottom of his heart.
According to the historical records of Moxu, the current emperor is different from one of the most important reasons for the destruction of Moxu monarchy due to his faintness and incompetence.
Queen Sophia was deeply supported by the royalists, and she was also the supreme leader and backbone of the royal family in the late period of the Constitutional War.
She is here today not just because she has a son among the seven "dwarfs".
"Hello, Lord Baron," said the man with a withered face and a thin body next to Queen Sophia.
"Master Pankolov, are you feeling well?"
"I've always been like this"
Pankolov, who was as a consumptive ghost, and Barrett who was as strong as a lion.
These two people were Queen Sophia's right-hand men and were known as Pan Wen Bawu in later generations.
Because of his outstanding performance in intelligence and conspiracy, Pankolov left a heavy mark in the history of the Demon Ruins.
Queen Sofia walked to the fence with carved columns.
From here you can overlook the green woods and fields in the distance, and you can see the floating clouds in the sky without raising your head.
"Baron, your ancestor is really amazing, he actually built such a great building!"
"For this reason, protecting the honor of my ancestors has always been my lifelong goal."
"This castle and the palace were designed by the same designer," Pankolov said.
After a brief exchange of greetings, we immediately got to the point.
Queen Sophia said: "Mr. Baron, war is imminent!"
The baron was not surprised at all by the queen's words: "I have already started preparations."
The land that the Queen was staring at before was in a car in a small forest.
Director Chandler was nibbling a piece of dry bread.
He never dreamed that the biggest enemy of the constitutionalists under his nose would swagger into the castle.
And he was having secret contacts with Baron Huntington right in front of him.
Suppose he put down the bread temporarily and raised the telescope beside him.
It is entirely possible to see Queen Sophia in person.
At this time, a police officer ran over excitedly holding a sack.
Chandler opened the car door: "What are you holding?"
When the police officer handed over the sack, Chandler smelled the odor of alcohol that made someone drunk.
"You bastard, is it time to drink now? Be careful I send you to Duoyu Island!"
Duoyu Island is an isolated island farthest from the main island of Moxu. It has always been used by Moxu as a place to imprison felons.
Going to Duoyu Island, whether as a prisoner or a guard, is not a good thing.
"Director, this is not wine, it is something that was finally delivered from inside. Look at what this is."
After the police officer took the thing out of the sack.
Chandler's eyes widened: "What the hell is this!"
Xie Sheng and Johnny helped Dr. Golf search the entire laboratory, but there was no sign of the monster.
Johnny Knight and Dr. Golf are back at the test bench.
Johnny is a qualified knight on the battlefield and a qualified drunkard in peacetime.
He could accurately judge the degree of liquor in a glass bottle just by his sense of smell, with an error of no more than one degree.
"Mr. Doctor, I think it has been soaked in wine. Even if it is still alive, it is impossible to climb out of the bottle."
Xie Sheng didn't think that the monster escaped on his own.
But at this moment, he discovered something that interested him more than the monster.
In the small lounge at the end of the laboratory, there is a familiar suitcase placed in the corner.
Next to the box are pliers, a screwdriver, a hammer and a chisel.
"Doctor, are you going to change your career to become a blacksmith?"
While Xie Sheng was looking at the suitcase in a daze, Dr. Golf walked in.
"Well, do you know whose box this is? I found it at the door of the laboratory this morning. I wanted to open the box and take a look at the contents in order to find its owner, but this box is surprisingly strong."
Xie Sheng said: "Mr. Doctor, this is exactly my box. It was probably done by some annoying servant. As you know, I am not very generous when I tip them."
Golf nodded: "You are right. One time when they helped me move reagents, they moved it very late because there were a little too many things. They actually deliberately confused the labels on the reagents. If it hadn't been for me the next day,
If something was wrong in time, this laboratory would have ceased to exist!"
Johnny Knight walks in: "What are you talking about?"
"Oh, Mr. Xie's suitcase was thrown at the door of my laboratory. He just recognized it. Isn't this a prank by Mr. Knight?"
"How could I do something like that!"
Johnny looked at Xie Sheng gloatingly: "By the way, that monster won't get into the suitcase, right?"
"When I came in, the box was closed."
"Maybe it got in and closed the box inside!"
Golf watched the two of them bickering with interest: "Mr. Xie, open the box and let Mr. Knight take a look and it will become clear."
Xie Sheng reached out to the box and tapped it gently, seemingly hesitant.
Johnny said: "Could there be something shameful in this box?"
Dr. Golf looked at the two of them from the side, smiling and saying nothing.
Xie Sheng took a deep breath: "If you insist"
"I'm very persistent!"
Before the knight finished speaking, Xie Sheng reached out and opened the lid of the box.
The contents of the suitcase were very simple, just a few pieces of music that were yellow in color and looked old.
These music scores are very suitable for Xie Sheng's current status.
Johnny was still a little unwilling to give up. He reached out and picked up a sheet of music and turned the pages from beginning to end.
Well, the content inside is indeed real music score.
There are no love letters that the knight needs to discover, or those low-brow pictorials or vulgar novels circulating on the market.
Johnny put down one book and picked up another, inspecting it more carefully than the last one.
Xie Sheng looked calmly as he watched Johnny put down the music score in disappointment.
He said softly: "Lord Knight, I am satisfied."
"What do I need to be satisfied with? Mr. Xie should be happy when he finds the lost box, right?"
"Mr. Xie, you can take your box back. By the way, when you go out, let the two servants at the door come in. I want to ask them if anyone has sneaked into my laboratory during this time.
Is it in?"
Xie Sheng agreed and reached out to pick up the suitcase.
