"Is this a wine cellar? It's winter now, and there shouldn't be many people coming to the wine cellar. Moreover, I remember that there are indeed many wineries near Huntington, which is a good sign."
Xia De thought silently in his heart, lit up the light on his fingertips and looked around more carefully.
This is not a place like Coldwater Harbor and Fort Midhill, where almost no one appears, but a building with an owner like Saint Teresa Square. But it seems that the owner here is completely unaware of the hidden wall, let alone someone appearing from here.
Out of caution, Xia De still used [Echoes of the Past] to find out, but after many attempts, there was no result, which meant that no humans had spoken nearby within 48 hours.
Knowing this, Shad is more at ease, and the wineries around Huntington are usually not too far from the city. If this place is really near the city of red wine, although there is still a possibility of being discovered when entering and exiting here, at least he is sure that he is not far from his destination:
"That golden lucky rabbit's foot is really lucky. However, I'm going to dream a lot of rabbits tonight... I don't know if they will like the silver moon in my dream."
Thinking about it in my heart, and then calculating how likely I am to buy this wine cellar and the building on the ground together. But then it occurred to him that he is from De La Rion, and he wants to buy a property in a foreign land. Even if he has enough cash in his hand, and the owner is willing to sell it, he may still need to find a trustworthy agent in the local area. .
I opened the chain on the fence gate with the key of the gate, and after carefully pushing the gate and going out, I found a sloping corridor outside in the dark. The room he walked out of was at the deepest point, and there were only four rooms on both sides of the corridor, which meant that there were actually four wine cellars here. Based on the area and the number of wine barrels Shade saw just now, this should be considered a small-scale winery.
Even if a foreigner doesn't know much about the brewing industry in this world, he still knows that if he is willing to spend all his savings of 10,000 pounds, there is still hope to buy it:
"However, it is still necessary to find out where I have appeared."
The sloping underground corridor is not long, the ground is a dirt road paved with gravel to increase friction, and the surrounding walls are not smooth, as if it has not been treated since it was excavated, but the wine cellar does not need to be smoothed deliberately wall.
At the end of the dark corridor, there is a tightly closed iron door. Xia De held his breath and listened to the door for a while, but did not hear any sound. Then he carefully put on the witch's eye shadow, put on the mask, and opened the door. The door lock pushed the door and walked out.
The outside of the door is not outside, but a horizontal corridor, which is a bit damp compared to the dry one in the wine cellar. On the wall of the corridor facing the iron door of the wine cellar is another wooden door. Sunlight can be seen through the crack of the door, indicating that there is an exit. At the end of the corridor extending to the left and right sides, it seems to lead to other warehouses.
There is still no one here. It looks like a warehouse in a countryman's yard. It is a bit dilapidated, but there are also traces of frequent use.
The gas lamp hung on the wall was not lit, and a paper was pasted under the dirty gas lamp. Xia De looked through the light from the crack of the door, and saw that it was written in Kasenlik——
【White River Valley Vineyard Work Precautions】
【Don't steal】
[Please make sure you are well dressed in any season]
[The wine cellar door is not allowed to open at will]
[Do not enter the warehouse without permission]
[All property of the vineyard belongs to the honorable Anjou family]
"The wine cellar door is not allowed to be opened at will" is followed by a line of small characters, which roughly explains the influence of air circulation on grape fermentation.
"White River Valley Vineyard?"
Xia De is sure that he has never heard of this name, but the "Anjou family" is the royal family of Kasenlik, which means that this vineyard is the king's property. But judging from the general appearance of this country, it should belong to an industry that is not valued.
"Yes, when I go back, I'm going to find a qualified foreign language teacher in Tobesk and learn Kasenlik systematically."
He knew some of this language himself, and his strong mental power made his memory and comprehension very strong, so learning this language was not difficult.
The outside of this horizontal corridor is the outdoors. Xia De still carefully listened for voices outside, but he didn't expect to hear the vague Kasenlik when he got close to the wooden door that seemed to be kicked open. Words, floating from afar:
"...Kill...Remember to wash off the blood...No head and legs...It's still the same price..."
"Um?"
Xia De frowned, suspecting that he had heard it wrong, so he listened more carefully:
"Waste... yes, all at once... don't be seen by others... winter... remember to leave the blood... Swallow alone..."
"What happened to me?"
Thinking in my heart, the conversation outside stopped. Then the sound of the whip and the wheels approached until it stopped outside the door.
At this time, Xia De had returned to the iron door leading to the wine cellar, and heard the sound of the wooden door being opened outside. In order to prevent the outside air from affecting the wine making in the wine cellar, there is no gap on the iron door for peeping outside. Xia De can only hear a man directing several other people to carry some heavy items. From their communication, it can be heard that the left and right sides of the corridor outside are the warehouses of this vineyard.
The porting work was over soon, and Xia De came out of the wine cellar again after everyone left. Even without [Echo of Blood], he already sensed the smell of blood in the air:
"I won't encounter the scene of murder and dumping of corpses, will I?"
He hesitated for a moment, and walked to the warehouse at the other end of the corridor to check the situation and confirm what was brought in just now. But just two steps away, the door of the warehouse at the end of the corridor was pushed open, and an old man with a bat symbol floating above his head came out of the warehouse with his hands behind his back.
When the latter looked up, he saw Xia De by the light of the faint candle in his hand, and was also taken aback:
"Um?"
And before Xia De judged what to do next~www.mtlnovel.com~ the old man took a step back in horror, almost lost his grip on the candle in his hand, he gasped for breath, and then spoke in Kaseric with a strong accent shouted:
"Come on! There are thieves! There are thieves in the warehouse!"
This was the first time Xia De broke into someone else's house and was discovered, but at this time he could not allow him to think about it any more. The door leading from the corridor to the outside yard was pushed open, and in the sunlight that spilled into the gloomy and damp corridor, , a middle-aged man dressed as a coachman appeared behind Xia De. And above his head, there is also a pattern of small bats floating.
"Where do so many vampires come from?"
The new blood-sucking species was also quite surprised that there was a stranger wearing a mask here. He looked very strong, but he didn't pounce on Xia De, or use the power of the vampire to deal with him. The man grabbed the door and took a step back as if frightened, and then shouted in panic:
"Sir, come quickly, there are really thieves! There are thieves in the warehouse!"
His Carsonrique wasn't up to the standard of the foreigners Shad had encountered in De La Rion, but at least his accent wasn't heavy.
Seeing Xia De looking at him, the burly man in the shirt immediately emphasized:
"Don't draw your gun! You have to think clearly, theft is not the same as a robber! You look young, don't go on the wrong path. If you have difficulties, you can speak up, but don't be impulsive."
