Chapter 769: First Exploration of the Glorious Castle

Frank finished his speech and signaled that the banquet would begin. The guests took their seats and enjoyed a sumptuous dinner.

The palace servants brought Lin Zaishan and other noble servants, and the guards were taken to the side hall next to have a buffet. The staff were mixed here, and the guards were relatively loose.

Lin Zaishan took a few casual bites and pretended to go to the bathroom. While everyone was not paying attention, he quickly came to the stairs and rushed to the second floor a few steps.

He learned about the internal structure of the Brilliant Castle from Trinity in advance and knew that the entire castle was divided into five floors: the lowest floor is the basement, including a warehouse and a prisoner, mainly used to store materials and imprison prisoners; the first floor on the surface is the hall, the side hall and the residence of servants; the second floor on the surface is the office and the conference room, which is used to deal with official duties and hold military and political meetings; the third floor on the surface is Frank's bedroom, study, and gym; the highest floor is the collection room.

Lin Zaishan’s destination is the highest-rise collection room. Various rare treasures that Frank scooped up, including fragments of meteorites from outside the sky, are very likely to be stored there. Of course, it is not easy to get there; even if you arrive, it is impossible to take away the meteorites of about 200 kilograms with bare hands. His adventure this time was mainly to find out the route and security situation.

He was blocked on the second floor of the ground: the stairs leading to the third floor of the ground were blocked by iron gates, and four fully armed guards stood behind the door; two other teams of guards patrolled back and forth in the corridor on the second floor; there were several fixed posts at both ends of the corridor to watch face to face. It was almost impossible to go up to the third floor of the ground without knowing it.

Lin Zaishan had no choice but to go back to the first floor and look for opportunities. He noticed that the kitchen door was open, and people were in and out from time to time, but there were guards standing guard at the door; there were no one in the bathroom, and there were windows leading to the back of the castle.

He pretended to be convenient in the bathroom for a long time, and finally waited for a moment without anyone else. He immediately looked out the window, and was sure that no one noticed it, so he quickly climbed through the window and climbed up the wall on the back of the castle.

It is very difficult to climb high in a metal armor. Fortunately, Lin Zaishan is very talented in climbing. He climbed to the highest level without any danger. He touched a window and was about to look inside. Suddenly he heard footsteps coming from inside, and a man said:

"Others are eating and drinking below, and insisting that we stand guard here. I don't understand. Without superpowers, who can suddenly jump up to the castle?" After saying that, a head poked out from the window, looked left and right and bottom for a few seconds, and then shrank back.

Lin Zaishan, who had already rushed to the top of the window, breathed a sigh of relief silently. He pointed his head to the window to check the situation inside. He saw that it was another bathroom, where two guards had just finished urinating and were chatting.

He waited patiently for a while. After the two guards left, he quietly entered the window like a spirit cat, jumped into the bathroom, and came to the door to look at it. No one saw anyone, so he entered the corridor and touched an iron door in the middle. The door looked thick and heavy, and it was probably difficult to push with the power of one person alone.

He concluded that behind the door was Frank's storage room, and he couldn't open the door without a key. In desperation, he continued along the corridor and touched the door in front of another room. The door was covered in a false sense. Behind the door, two guards, one sitting lazily on a chair and drowsy, while the other was walking anxiously in the room.

"No, I have to ask Old Mosen for a glass of wine." The man who was walking strode towards the door.

Lin Zaishan used his old trick again, climbed up to the top of the door and avoided the guards. As soon as he landed, he saw a team of guards appearing from the entrance of the stairs and patrolling towards the other end of the corridor. Due to poor vision at night, they did not find Lin Zaishan at the first time, but in this way, in just over a dozen seconds, they would turn back and move closer to this side. At that time, he would be exposed.

Lin Zaishan took decisive action and entered the room where the guards were resting. The only guard left in the room was snoring beautifully.

This is a large suite with a door at the end of the room, which is locked.

As soon as Lin Zaishan entered the door, he noticed a key placed on the table and immediately used this key to unlock the door.

//////////////

At this time, the team of guards in the corridor had already patrolled here, and they were about to come in just as they pushed the door open.

Lin Zaishan made a quick decision, hid in the inner room, threw the key back to the table, and then covered it with a false cover.

The guards immediately woke up their companions who were sleeping soundly, "Wake up! It's only 7 o'clock in the evening, and you're sleeping like a dead pig! Where has Gibson gone?"

The guard who woke up from Dameng replied sleepyly: "He either went to the bathroom or went downstairs to get wine."

"Just know how to drink, beware of Duke Brilliant cutting your head!" The new guards checked the situation in the room everywhere and soon found that the lock in the inner room was opened.

The guards screamed, pulled out their weapons one after another, and then carefully pushed open the door.

The inner room is a space that looks like a study and a studio, and an otaku bedroom, with messy scrolls, books, inexplicable equipment and instruments everywhere.

"Is that old guy still here?" the captain of the guard shouted, "If we escape, we will all lose our heads!"

A guard suddenly pointed at the tablecloth on a table, and there seemed to be someone underneath.

The guards immediately organized into an encirclement formation, and then used the tip of the sword to pick the tablecloth, and they expected a vicious assassin to jump out of it.

The tablecloth was picked up, revealing the face of an old man with a gray beard.

A guard immediately bent down and grabbed the old man's collar and lifted him up and placed him on the chair next to him. Then he stretched out his finger to explore the old man's breath, believing that he was still alive.

The guards breathed a sigh of relief at the same time and put away their weapons. The guard captain bounced the old man's nose with his fingers and woke him up.

"Old guy, what are you doing hiding under the table? Do you want to pretend to be a god and scare us?"

The old man replied slowly: "Frank made the device I developed is too difficult, so I hid under the table for inspiration. If you interrupt me like this, be careful to delay the development progress!"

"You'd better be honest!" The captain of the guard scolded, not daring to stay here for a long time. This room hides many secrets of Duke Huihuang, and the old man always looks extremely strange. Everyone in the castle said that he is a wizard with supernatural powers, and those who are close to him are in trouble.

Soon, the guards walked cleanly, leaving only the guard who was originally outside. The latter had nothing to do, so he lay down on the chair and continued to sleep soundly.

The old man in the inner room sat leisurely on the chair, picked up the wine bottle and tasted it, and said as if he was to his pet cat: "Come out, little beloved."

Lin Zaishan, who hid behind the bookshelf, restrained his shock, appeared in a swagger, and asked, "Since you know that I, an uninvited guest, are you hiding here, why don't you report it on the spot? Aren't you afraid that I will kill you to silence you now?"

"You don't even look at who I am, Lin Zaishan!" The old man actually called out his name.

Lin Zaishan strode to the old man, then Candlelight carefully checked the old man's face. After he saw it clearly, he couldn't help but scream: "Vals?"

"Yes, it's me! Young people nowadays don't have a good memory." The gray-bearded old man was Vals, the city lord of Happy City who had traded with Lin Zaishan many times in the United States.

"How did you come to this weird space?"

"You still don't know the reason, right?" Valls stared at Lin Zaishan's eyes, "If I'm right, did you come in long after the strange space formed?"

"Tell me everything you know about space and I will give back information of the same value."

"Very good, I like the principle of paying and clearing right away." Vals cleared his throat and talked about the ins and outs of the formation of strange space. The basic content he said was no different from what Trinity and others said: the strange space was originally a super weapon created by the Australian Star Soul Herder to deal with Lin Zaishan, but a serious mistake occurred at the last moment. The super weapon did not cause it, but instead created this strange space, sucking everyone in the nearby area.

"I know all this."

"And you don't know." Vals asked: "Do you know why the Australian Star Soul Herder - the brainless among the seventh-level powerful men - can actually make a super product like Weird Space?"

“Isn’t it because they seek help from advanced planes?”

"I can tell you responsibly that even in high-level planes, technology that manufactures subspaces of this scale is strictly prohibited from being publicly disseminated and sold."

"Did they get it from the black market?"

"Black market, hehe." Vals sneered a few times.

"Void Arena?" Lin Zaishan suddenly realized, "Is it Trinity sold to them?"

"It's not her who directly supplies the goods, she's just a middleman."

"If Trinity got involved, why would she be sucked into this weird space?"

"There is a cause and effect."

"The result of the effect of the gods?"

"As I guessed, except for the power of heaven, who can force a subspace system administrator to suffer here?"

"Aren't you in the United States? Why are you sucked here too?"

"I happened to trade with her in the Void Arena when Trinity was sucked. I probably have a share of the punishment for the God of Heaven. Trinity had consulted me before taking over the commission from the Australian Star Soul Pastor."

"I'll go! You guys and women actually colluded with the Star Soul Herder to trick me?"

"Don't be excited, we didn't target you directly. Besides, you are a person who is strong when you meet strong people, and you can't beat Xiaoqiang. What's there to be afraid of?"

Lin Zaishan has always been the overall situation. Knowing that calculating these old accounts with Vals at this time is useless, he continued to ask for useful clues, "In other words, except for those who are already in the field, any intelligent life that is sanctioned by this divine punishment will be sucked into this strange space?"

"Smart. So, I guess in addition to the Australian Star Soul Shepherd, Trinity, you and me, there must be a high-level Star Soul Shepherd here to suffer."

"Who else? In the outside world - I'm talking about the earth we came from - there are only so few advanced star souls."

"It is not necessarily necessary to come from the earth, the power of heaven can transcend planes and space-time."

"You mean someone has also been involved in the advanced plane?"

"Have you ever thought about it? Who is so 'kind' that provides Australian Star Soul Shepherd with the materials and techniques to destroy your super weapons?"

Lin Zaishan pondered for a moment and replied: "There is still a heart for us to touch the earth in the high-dimensional space. As far as I know, the main one is the pirates of the last domineering!"

"Maybe they are."

"It seems that among the residents of the strange space, there are very likely to be hidden fire thieves, Moba Feiyu or other strong people related to Moba Pirates. Do you have clues about the suspect?"

"Didn't you see me being imprisoned in this ghost place every day? Zhalin, if you are willing to help me escape - not only escape from this castle, but also escape from this weird space - I am willing to help you overcome this disaster."

"Trade!" Lin Zaishan talked with Valsmi for a while and agreed on many details of the joint action.

Vals opened the window and hung a rope. Lin Zashan climbed back to the ground smoothly from the window.

//////////////

As soon as he returned to the side hall, Trinity's butler ran over anxiously, "Lin, Master has something urgent to come to you!"

Lin Zaishan followed the housekeeper to the banquet hall. At this time, the meal time had ended, and the nobles were gathering together to chat in groups of three or three.

A group of male nobles, including Duke Frank, surrounded Trinity in the middle like stars, trying every means to please her.

"Beautiful Ms. Trinity, where did the brave and warlike guard you said run? He was drunk in the bathroom or in the flowers because he drank too much wine, right?"

The butler stepped forward and reported politely: "Ms. Trinity, Lin has found it."

Trinity turned around, glanced at Lin Zaishan, and said to the men: "This is my personal guard. I wonder which gentleman is willing to teach him how many tricks?"
