Rebel Demon King

Chapter 484 Black Prince (1)

As the beautiful girls in maid outfits finished setting the tableware with the logos of Oxford and All Souls College, the melodious bells of Tom Tower also rang, and the clear and distant bells indicated that the time had come to exactly six o'clock .

Sitting at the front of the table in the middle, the old man in a red robe with black sleeves and a long shawl on his back was dragged to the ground. Looking around, he knocked on the table, and all the people who were talking fell silent. Then everyone stood up.

Seeing that everyone stood up solemnly, Yan Funing naturally followed suit. Seeing the old man knocking on the table take off the doctor's cap on his head, revealing the golden Mediterranean Sea, he was the last to stand up, let's start Speaking of Latin.

Yan Funing has no interest in religion and literature. Of course, he has never studied Latin. He can only understand some simple words, most of which are prayers. However, the prayers of the old gentleman in front of him seem to be somewhat different from the prayers of the church. Too, the word "veritas" (truth) appears several times here.

However, Yan Funing understood the concluding remarks completely. It was the Oxford school motto that he had seen several times on campus: "Dominus illuminatio mea!" (The Lord is my light)
After the old man finished saying this sentence that everyone knew well, everyone collectively said "amen" (Amen), and then all sat down. At this time, the meal bag was also placed on the table, and Yan Funing took the meal bag out of the basket, ignoring the There are three table knives on the side of the plate, pick up a small silver table knife placed separately above the plate and start slicing.

It’s not that Yan Funing is being hypocritical. To cut bread, you can only use the dim sum knife placed above the plate, not the main table knife. Not only that, but the slices must always be cut from one end to the other. This is not etiquette, but a custom.

William Perry Cavendish introduced their dean who presided over the prayer just now——Edward Ficharron Howard, who is the current 18th Duke of Norfolk and the head of the Howard family.

However, William Perry Cavendish did not open his mouth to introduce the history of the Howard family. In fact, there is a lot to say about this. The famous movie "Another Boleyn Girl" refers to the collateral of the Howard family - the Boleyn family , Howard family and Henry VIII.

History is often bloodier than reality. When Henry VIII, the second monarch of the Tudor Dynasty, was in power, the Boleyn family with half Howard blood had two beauties. One of these two beauties became Henry VIII's queen. , one became his mistress.

At this time, the Howard family also produced a beauty, Catherine Howard, and she was the sixth queen of Henry VIII, but the queen of flowing water, the mistress of iron, and finally the queens were all beheaded, only mistress Mary Boleyn survived down.

William didn't mention it, so everyone tacitly didn't discuss these historical issues. First, it was disrespectful to the venerable; second, Henry VIII's third queen was Jane Seymour, that is, Gwen Seymour's Great great great great great aunt.

If it was Cheng Mo here, he would definitely be able to think of these bloody stories behind it, but Yan Funing is not Cheng Mo, he only dabbles in history, and has no idea that the ancestors of the people sitting around him have been in movies and TV. An important historical figure in the series.

The ancestor of William Perry Cavendish also has a famous person, that is, the famous chemist and physicist Henry Cavendish, the founder of the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge.

Normally, Yan Funing would definitely think about it. The William Perry Cavendish and Henry Cavendish in front of him must be related, but since he entered All Souls College, his nerves have been highly tense. In the process, I have been silently memorizing the monitoring positions that can be seen, so my mind is not thinking about these unimportant things at all.

In addition, he has to remember every face in this college. There is no doubt that these people are the chosen ones. At the same time, he has to compare the photos Li Jiting gave him to find out the target person, and he has to speculate based on the buildings and topography of All Souls College. How to get into the real All Souls Academy hidden underground.

At this time, Yan Funing had to focus on four tasks, not only had to take care of chatting with William and the others, but also had to find a way to complete the task.

While chatting with William about Einstein manifolds, Yan Funing discussed its related properties, and also discussed the relationship between Einstein manifolds and constant curvature Riemannian manifolds, a series of "2-dimensional and n(n≥3)-dimensional" And "3-dimensional connected Einstein manifold (M, g) must be a constant curvature Riemannian manifold" This type of technical terminology Feng Zhenzhen and Gwen Seymour on the side are like falling into the clouds.

However, the two women are different from ordinary women. Knowing that when men are passionately involved in something, the best way for a woman to do it is to invest in it with him, even if she can't, at least don't bother.

Yan Funing pretended to be very involved in talking with William. At this time, he was already serving appetizers. According to the flow of English meals, the main course and dessert followed. Yan Funing knew that he didn't have much time, so he had to hurry up, so he answered , while pretending to subconsciously look at the row of wine glasses placed beside the dinner plate, he said inadvertently: "Your question is awesome, the uniqueness of the tangent cone at infinity on the non-compact complete Einstein manifold has always been a very interesting question. For the question of significance, we will first prove the three new monotonicity formulas on the smaller Ricci curvature, and explain that they are related to the rate of convergence to the tangential cone. It would be great if there is a glass of wine at this time to moisten the throat "

William was waiting for the next article, so he quickly turned around and called the waiter in the cafeteria, telling him to bring red wine, and then said to Yan Funing with a smile: "I'm very sorry, we don't have a choice of Oxford wine, we can only drink whatever he brings over. What to drink."

"It doesn't matter. I don't know anything about wine tasting. I just like to think about problems in a drunk state. It will make me feel omnipotent."

"Yes! Yes! I am the same way, especially when I am slightly drunk, after solving a difficult problem, the pleasure is simply indescribable." William also became excited and said with joy.

"Then let's have a good drink!" Yan Funing actually doesn't like drinking very much, and he doesn't have the habit of thinking about problems after drinking, but there are very few British people who don't like drinking, and there is a kind of madness among British young people. Drinking, excessive drinking, and a bad culture that is proud of being drunk, many young people are often forced to drink alcohol due to peer pressure, even nobles are not immune, so Yan Funing put his professor's hobby on himself .

"Of course. I remember what a Chinese proverb said?" William paused for a moment, and said in his suffocated Chinese: "A thousand cups of wine is less than a bosom friend!"

So Yan Funing and Feng Zhenzhen both laughed in response to the situation.

When the waiter in a tuxedo, a white shirt and a black bow tie came over with a bottle of red wine without a label, William explained: "All the red wine in our college has its label removed, and these wines all come from Trinity In the underground of the college, there is a wine cellar with thousands of bottles of wine, which are collected by the tutors who love wine tasting. However, we must taste blind when we taste. It is a way of tasting wine under certain conditions. We judge the characteristics of grape varieties, origins and years through tasting. If you are not right, then sorry, you can’t drink a glass”

"Oh! This is the best rule in your college! Otherwise, you people will drink up the collection in the wine cellar without any scruples." Gwen Seymour put down the knife and fork and wiped it with a napkin He wiped his mouth and said with a smile.

Yan Funing felt that this rule was terrible. If he had known that one day, he would definitely study red wine seriously, but right now he can only hope that William has a good research on red wine, otherwise his plan may be in jeopardy. He looked at the gloved waiter, put the red wine on the white napkin on his arm, slowly poured a third of a glass of red wine into his glass, and said regretfully: "If it was me, It is estimated that only this cup is eligible.”

Before William could speak, Gwen Seymour said, "Don't be afraid of running out of wine. The person sitting in front of you is the vice president of the Oxford Wine Association. He is the most enthusiastic organizer of every wine tasting!"

"Gwen, you misunderstood me when you said that. You also know that we have two wineries in our family. Now I am working on promoting our family's wine to the Chinese market. In recent years, European wine consumption has shown a downward trend. It is expected to decrease by 3 million cases per year, while Asia and the Americas are both growing strongly, and are expected to grow by 390 million cases and 3 million cases respectively. The increase in China is 570%. Isn’t this what Zhenzhen and I are discussing? So, drinking is not relaxation for me, but work.”

"In this case, William, leave this matter to me to help you! When it comes to drinking, maybe I'm better than you, at least I won't get drunk without restraint."

Seeing that the atmosphere between Gwen and William seems to be a little small, Feng Zhenzhen said with a smile: "Actually, I think it's a good thing to let men get drunk occasionally, especially for those who do research like them, usually under a lot of pressure. If the emotions are not released on the weekend, they will pile up more and more.”

"Yes! Yes! What Zhenzhen said makes sense!" William quickly agreed.

"Zhenzhen, you don't know! William has been drinking unconscious all year round, why can't he get up? Not only that, but he often releases pigeons when he promises me, and I don't answer the phone. If I didn't rush to his house and find him He was indeed sleeping, and I thought he must have found another woman." Gwen said angrily.

William smiled wryly.

Only Yan Funing knew why William was so difficult to argue with. In fact, this was one of the reasons why he never found a girlfriend.

Gwen saw that William didn't make excuses, and raised the glass that had been poured by the waiter and said, "Cheers, for the British gentleman's style, you have ruined everything."

So the four of them raised their glasses, and before drinking down the glass of red wine, William said pitifully, "Then can I have a few more glasses with Chris today?"

Gwen Seymour looked at Feng Zhenzhen and then at Yan Funing, "Okay! For the sake of Zhenzhen and Chris"

When William heard Gwen Seymour's words, he shook the wine glass a few times, took a deep breath with his nose, and took a sip, keeping the wine in his mouth for a while before swallowing it and said to the waiter beside him: "No There is no doubt that this is the 2001 Smith Lafitte (Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte), as for the place of origin and grape variety, do you need to go into details?"

---------------

After drinking for three rounds, Yan Funing, who was half-true and half-fake, leaned on Feng Zhenzhen's body, activated his carrier. At this time, all the tutors sitting at the middle table had left, but there were still many students still fighting for drinks in the cafeteria , but it is still rare for Yan Funing to get drunk so early. The blushing William laughed at Yan Funing's capacity for alcohol, and went to find other people to continue drinking with a glass, completely unaware that Yan Funing had actually planned to "get drunk" a long time ago. thing.

At this moment, Yan Funing activated his carrier in the student dormitory that William had introduced at the beginning. The moment his carrier was completed, that is, the moment when the last touch of colored DNA chain disappeared in the beam of light, Yan Funing would have A prepared silver ring was put on the Ouroboros ring on the index finger of his left hand, and the remaining trace of the light curtain disappeared in an instant.

Logically speaking, when the light curtain disappears, Yan Funing's carrier should appear on the map, and a heavily guarded place like All Souls College can definitely be monitored. However, the academy under the night is still calm, and it is obvious that the appearance of Yan Funing's carrier is completely absent. be found.

The reason why it was not discovered was naturally because of the silver ring that Yan Funing put on just now.

That ring is not a magic weapon, but the latest research of Tai Chi Dragon. Tai Chi Dragon's equipment department made this kind of ring that can shield quantum information transmission based on the principle that level 0 carriers are not displayed on the map. Currently, only in quantum information transmission Huaguo, which is at the forefront of research, has this technology.

However, this seemingly hanging technology is not very useful, because shielding the quantum satellites above the head means that the carrier cannot obtain energy from these satellites, which means that although wearing a shielding ring will not appear in the On the map, there is also no way to use any skills. To use skills, you must take off the ring first, so this technique is a bit tasteless.

But Yan Funing had no choice, at least the basic quality of the carrier was still there, he looked around in the darkness, this is a single dormitory, the dormitory is not big, outside the gothic lattice windows is the night covered with velvet, Although the windows are very wide, you can't see the moon. In the distance is a tall tower made of rocks. Oxford is also known as the city of Wantaa, and it's not for nothing.

Although there was only a little light leaking in from the room, Yan Funing could see clearly that the bed was lying across the middle of the dormitory, with a computer desk on one side and a wardrobe on the other side, and an abstract painting hung beside the bed.

Yan Funing first walked up to the mirror, and carefully put on the human skin mask. This was given to him by Li Jiting. It was a simulated human skin mask made from the face of a student from All Souls College. This kind of mask is difficult to deceive, but it can be hidden from the surveillance And artificial intelligence is still very easy.

Then he went straight to the front of the closet and began to rummage, and immediately found the uniforms and black robes worn by Oxford students. Now he is completely able to distinguish what these black robes represent. The black robe with sleeves means that your undergraduate is also Those who read at Oxford, and those who don't have sleeves, are likely to be only graduate students at Oxford.

Right now, the robe is pure black, indicating that the other party has not obtained the title of Doctor of Philosophy, because the sleeve of the title of Doctor of Philosophy is red.Yan Funing took out the black robe from the closet, put it on himself, listened to the movement outside the door, opened the door carefully, and walked out of the dormitory.

The corridor was silent, and the deserted moonlight hung in the air, casting a piece of frost on the marble floor.

Yan Funing looked at the cafeteria diagonally across the window. It was brightly lit, and there was a black pointer cast by the moon on the sundial in the library. He walked cautiously towards the end of the corridor, where the stairs were, as William had said However, although each building of All Souls College seems to be connected, they are not interconnected and are actually independent.Yan Funing wanted to go to the biological laboratory, so he had to go downstairs to the first floor, and walk around to the biological laboratory through the corridor on the first floor.

There are many cameras in the corridor surrounding the college on the first floor, which is extremely difficult for him.

Otherwise, he can only climb to the roof and pass through the roof, but Yan Funing believes that if he goes up to the roof and will be found within minutes, it is better to take the risk and try to go from the corridor to the biological laboratory with a higher success rate.

There was no sound in the stairwell, only the retro glass candlestick on the wall was on, but Yan Funing saw the infrared camera facing the stairs, he pretended to go down as if nothing had happened, and through the camera, Yan Funing believed that the carrier he was wearing the mask could Outwit the guards and AI.

The reason why he was sent to England was because his body was almost indistinguishable from Caucasians after dyed yellow hair. This was probably because Yan Funing had one-eighth of German blood in his ancestors, not to mention his There is a mask on the face
