The note is a parchment scroll, and just when placed in front of you, it will naturally bring about a sense of vicissitudes of history.

The content above is already a little dim, but it is still possible to see clearly the content.

However, the words written on it are all French, and there have been omissions in many places, so Shi Lei certainly couldn't see anything.

Andre asked someone to bring a tablet and open a document above.

This document contains detailed records of this note.

More than 200 years ago, the owner of this winery was a young man in his twenties. He joined Napoleon's army, followed Napoleon to fight everywhere, and successfully witnessed Napoleon's crowning.

He also advanced many times because of his outstanding performance in the war. After Napoleon was crowned, he also held the power and followed Napoleon's stepson to Italy.

But the good times did not last long. Napoleon defeated Leipzig in 1814 and was eventually exiled. The former owner of the winery was also implicated. Although he was exiled to Italy at that time, his family was killed by the Allies.

Napoleon then returned to the throne, and he naturally returned to France. Unfortunately, after Napoleon returned to the throne, he only lasted for a hundred days. With the great defeat in the Battle of Waterloo, the Bourbon dynasty was restored again.

However, this time, Louis XVIII also learned his lesson and comforted the country in every possible way. In the end, the former owner of the winery returned here and became his winery owner with peace of mind.

It is precisely because of this that he lost the inheritance of his ancestors. Originally, their ancestors were passed down from generation to generation. Before his death, the previous winery owner would dictate the location and opening method of the secret passage to the next winery owner. However, the previous winery owner was executed by Louis XVIII, and the winery owner who had followed Napoleon to fight south and north could not get this inheritance.

Since then, the family has been looking for the entrance to the secret passage in their castles and wineries.

Although he did not know the location and opening method of the secret passage, he had heard his father say that this secret passage must be opened in a normal way. Once brute force cracking or excavation are used, the secret passage will collapse and everything hidden inside will be damaged.

Two hundred years have passed, and the secret passage has never been found, but this legend has been passed down from generation to generation.

In the early years, the winery was running well, and the owner of this winery did not really look for this bottle of wine king.

As the winery is not well managed, its descendants have been selling all kinds of treasures from the family, and they have almost reached the end of their lives. In recent decades, he has been trying hard to find the bottle of wine king. As long as the wine king is born, it will definitely alleviate the difficulties faced by the winery and even make a comeback.

Unfortunately, he still couldn't find it in the end. Fortunately, Andre spent 500 million euros to buy the winery.

...

After putting down the tablet in his hand, Shi Lei had some different thoughts in his mind.

It seemed to have a little hook to what Black Card was looking for. Although Europe was not that powerful two hundred years ago, it would not have had much impact on the Qing Dynasty in China at that time. However, the twenty-three works that Black Card was looking for were also objects from five or six hundred years ago, and it was not impossible for it to appear in this ancient castle.

After all, Black Card must have done so-called macro-control. Such things involving secret passages are likely to make Shi Lei discover something.

Andre told Shi Lei again: "Although this bottle of wine king is produced by Lafite Winery, based on the content of this note and I did a series of investigations and research, I found that this bottle of red wine was one of the batch of red wines sold to China. The original owner of this winery, his ancestors, had visited your China and brought back a lot of your Chinese things, including this bottle of red wine. It is because he brought a lot of things that were ahead of Europe at that time from China that he had enough funds to create this winery."

When Shi Lei heard this, he felt even more excited. Could those twenty-three calligraphy and paintings really appear in this ancient castle?

However, this also made Shi Lei feel a headache.

Even if he could help Andre find the entrance to the secret passage and successfully crack the secret passage, how could he buy back the twenty-three calligraphy and paintings of top famous masters from Andre? They don’t lack money at all, right?

This is a bit of a scam!

Shi Lei's brows frowned unconsciously.

Andrei looked at Shi Lei's expression change, and he was a little surprised and said, "Dear Shi, what's wrong with you? Have you heard of these legends too?"

Shi Lei quickly waved his hand and said, "No, I just think this legend is a bit interesting. The owner of this winery is so strange. Since he wants to pass the bottle of wine king to his descendants, why do he set up a mechanism in the secret passage? Once he enters the secret passage or opens the secret passage in an abnormal way, it will cause the secret passage to collapse? This seems irrelevant."

Andre shrugged and said, "It's unknown. No one knows what an old guy from two or three hundred years ago thought."

Shi Lei smiled and said, "I still think this may be just a legend. Perhaps, all of this is something that the former owner of this winery made up to sell the winery for a good price."

Andre said seriously: "No, no, no, this is absolutely impossible. Many clues can show that what he said is true. The records on this sheepskin note also fully illustrate this point. There is no reason why a person who had made up such a lie and deceived his descendants two hundred years ago would not do him well."

Shi Lei rubbed his head and thought to himself that I knew it must be true, but I just wanted to get other things in the secret passage. After all, this task given to me by the black card is likely to be completed in your winery.

But how can I get those calligraphy and paintings from Andre? Just a life-saving grace, I probably can't let Andre give up those calligraphy and paintings? Even if I buy them, it's unlikely that. After all, even the ignorant person knows what kind of person the authors of those calligraphy and paintings are, and they will know the value of these calligraphy and paintings!

No matter what, since Shi Lei learned the news, he began to care about the ancient castle.

Andrei still took him around the castle. Shi Lei also used his mechanical application knowledge to study the castle from all possible perspectives, hoping to find the location of the entrance to the secret passage.

Not much gain.

Fortunately, Andrei saw that it was too late and invited Shi Lei to stay in the castle.

If it weren't for the secret passage, Shi Lei would definitely not have stayed.

But this may become his chance to complete the task, so Shi Lei had no reason to leave.

Immediately agreed, and Shi Lei lived in the ancient castle.

There is still one day before the settlement day. If Shi Lei can find clues to the secret passage on this day, he may have a chance to complete the task assigned by the black card.

The room Andre arranged for Shi Lei is the largest in this castle, located on the second floor of the castle.

Originally, Andre left this room for his father when he came to the winery, but in order to show his respect for Shi Lei, he gave this room that was originally left for his father to Shi Lei.

After Shi Lei entered the room, he sat in the room and pondered for a long time, but he could not find a reasonable way to let Andre give the calligraphy and paintings to himself.

Suddenly, Shi Lei smiled mockingly. Before he found the thing, he was thinking about changing hands. This seemed a bit too hasty.
