The Duke's family lived in the castle, so Zhou Jimin naturally didn't want to disturb them, so he went straight to the secret room.

Before coming, he had inquired and found out that the castle was actually open to the public. He could earn some ticket money and use it for the daily maintenance of the castle.

Therefore, he was not sure whether he would leave empty-handed today like he did at Dover Castle the night before yesterday.

After searching around, he finally found a secret room in the study.

"Damn, can these so-called nobles be smarter?"

Every time I create a secret room, I always rely on books and other items as decorations. Do you think this can cover it up?

Really, he has watched many Kung Fu blockbusters and Hollywood blockbusters, how could he not know these simple secret room switches?

Besides, a top thief can probably guess the secret room switch in the study, right?

"I hope the harvest inside will not disappoint me."

As a result, he pushed open the door to the secret room, and after entering, he saw the study room.

A game within a game?

I have to say that the owner of the castle has come up with such a design, and it is really possible to stop ordinary thieves.

After all, at this point, it is really difficult for ordinary people to find the real secret room.

Sure enough, when Zhou Jimin only used conventional methods to find the secret room, he couldn't find it at all.

It's not a bookshelf, nor is it a switch in the book industry. It's quite hidden anyway.

In this secret study room, the four walls are covered with bookshelves, and there are two bookshelves, two desks and eight stools in the middle.

It looks like a reading room in a library, with a neat and orderly look.

"You still want to stop me?"

After making a disdainful comment, Zhou Jimin started to do things with the guy.

Without some high technology, it seems that it is difficult to find a real secret room today.

At the same time, he felt inexplicably happy.

After all, the owner of the castle is so cautious, so the things hidden in the secret room are definitely not ordinary things.

The more you collect, the more top-notch gadgets you have.

And the Duke also organized some kind of ticket exhibition, I'm afraid it was just a disguise.

It is estimated that many people will think about one thing. Since you need to collect tickets to maintain the daily operation of the castle, there is nothing of value in this castle.

The empire on which the sun never sets is gone forever, and so are the nobility.

Taking out the fingerprint scanner, this thing was specially made by Zhou Jimin to cope with the current situation.

A very simple technique, but very applicable.

However, after he finished scanning, he found that this thing was useless.

Because the Duke was very cautious, he did not leave any obvious fingerprints in the secret study room.

In other words, the switch to enter the secret room on the next level is well hidden.

There are no fingerprints in the main secret room and study, so one can imagine how cautious the Duke is.

"Could it be that the owner of the castle is a terminally ill patient with mysophobia?"

Zhou Jimin didn't think too much, he then changed to other instruments and started the next step.

The problem of entering a castle and returning empty-handed does not exist here.

No matter how deep the other party hides, he will always have a way.

In the next ten minutes, he tried using various high technologies, but still couldn't find a way.

He looked at all four walls, but still couldn't find the location.

Either there is no secret room on the next level, or the door is very thick and hidden too deep.

"When you encounter labor, you will be unlucky."

Simply, he put all the high technology back into the space, moved the bookshelves away, and then started cutting on the four walls.

As a result, I tried everything and found nothing at all.

Damn, it can’t be underground, right?

The floor of the secret study room is an expensive Persian carpet, which is very expensive in the international market and has always been a representative of luxury goods.

As an aristocrat from an empire where the sun never sets, he can naturally afford such a Persian carpet.

After lifting the carpet, the smooth marble block underneath was exposed.

As a result, after removing a side of marble, he saw the huge marble underground, and then continued to dig downward.

Then after digging for a while, he finally saw a tunnel.

Walking along the tunnel towards the ground, he wanted to push away, but found that he couldn't.

And he roughly calculated that the distance here from the ground is actually more than one meter deep.

No wonder when he looked at the floor, he didn't notice it at all. After all, how could one-meter-thick marble tiles make abnormal sounds?

The original path still cannot be opened, but it doesn't matter anymore, as long as he can find the secret room underground.

Following the passage, he came to about seven or eight meters on the ground floor, and finally saw the secret room.

The secret room is not big, about seven or eight square meters, but it is surrounded by marble. It seems that a lot of money was spent when building this secret room.

The passages and secret rooms are all made of marble, and the thickness is a bit exaggerated. You can imagine how difficult it is to build this underground secret room.

After all, this secret room has a history of hundreds of years. The secret rooms built in the past were not like today, let alone like Zhou Jimin, which can be cheated.

There are a lot of paintings in the seven- to eight-meter underground secret room. There are probably twenty or thirty paintings, and most of them are not very valuable.

Anyway, Zhou Jimin didn’t see anything valuable about it.

Regarding European art paintings, he probably remembers paintings such as Mona Lisa's smile, sunflowers, etc.

But these things are not something ordinary nobles can collect.

Besides, even if he takes the painting away, it’s hard to do anything now.

The most important thing is that Zhou Jimin does not feel that space has the desire to devour these paintings.

So it can almost be concluded that these things are too ordinary.

In addition to paintings, there are gold jewelry and jewelry, which also take up a lot of space.

At a rough glance, there are probably dozens of kilograms of gold. It can be seen that this Duke is quite rich.

However, what makes Zhou Jimin most happy are the two zodiac signs placed on it, one with a snake head and the other with a dog head.

The loss of the twelve zodiac animal heads in the Old Summer Palace is a history that cannot be looked back upon.

Construction started during the Kangxi period and was completed during the Jiaqing period. However, only fifty years after its completion, the Old Summer Palace was burned down by bandits.

All the precious treasures, doors, windows, pillars, etc. that could be dismantled were demolished. The twelve zodiac animal heads in the fountain outside Haiyan Hall were also stolen. In the end, the Old Summer Palace was burned down.

However, Zhou Jimin did not expect to find two animal heads in the basement of the castle.

Although the history of these two animal heads is only more than a hundred years.

But there is a lot of strange energy coming from space.

Perhaps because of that humiliating history, in later generations, the animal head was also one of the very important national treasures and was very famous.

However, after Zhou Jimin took the two animal heads back to the warehouse space, he was not in a hurry to absorb the supernatural energy inside.

He has no plans to return these two animal heads to the Palace Museum in the near future.

After all, the wind will pick up soon, so it’s not suitable.

Beyond the two animal heads, he also saw the Yongle Dadian books.

There are three boxes of books in total, all of which are Yongle Dadian books.

Through the space's reaction to these three boxes of books, Zhou Jimin can judge that these books are all authentic, but they should not be complete volumes, let alone originals.

You know, the Yongle Dadian has a total of 11,095 volumes, with a total of 370 million words.

The original should have been buried with him, and most of the copies were destroyed in wars and fires. The three boxes of books in the secret room should be among the copies.

"This special meow is the real top national treasure."

Carefully opening one of the volumes of the Yongle Canon, Zhou Jimin said with great joy.

It’s okay not to be happy.

It can be said that the book Yongle Dadian is the most precious national treasure for the Chinese people.

Especially those historians and archaeologists, if they see these copies of books, they are absolutely willing to protect them with their lives.

So precious!

It has unparalleled reference value for future generations to study the history of the Ming Dynasty and even earlier eras.
