Before this, Qianye had never seen nor had the opportunity to see what the bedroom of a duke-level figure looked like, but no matter what, he could not imagine the scene in front of him.
As the Duke of a famous demon family, Lin Jiaer also inherited the extravagant tradition of the upper class of the demons, and it was vividly reflected in the space. This cannot be called a bedroom, but should be called a bedroom area. With a hall so big that it can be called a small square as the center, each room is layered on top of each other, just like a small maze.
The hall is magnificent, and the dome depicting prehistoric battles is three or four stories high from the ground. Qianye carefully studied the floating painting on the dome, but he couldn't tell which battle it was about. In the picture, there are four clans fighting, and there are also some minor races mixed in. Some Qianye recognizes some, but most of them can't name them.
There are no human races in this painting, indicating that this is a great war before the founding of the empire. To be able to be painted on the dome of Lin Jiaer's bedroom, this must be an extraordinary battle, and it will end with the victory of the demons.
If this painting is moved back to the empire, the prehistoric research on Yongye will definitely go a step further, and it will also be able to better understand the contradictions between Yongye's races.
In addition, the color of the entire hall is mainly dark with dark gold, sometimes with some dark red in between, which is the extravagant style favored by demons. There is a huge bed at the end of the hall, and it is not a problem for a dozen people to lie on it, even if all of them are as tall as Lin Jiaer.
To be honest, Qianye didn't like this area. It's too big, too open, and too insecure. Ever since he could remember, Qianye had not had a few nights in which he could sleep peacefully. He is like a beast in the wilderness, always pricking up his ears even in his sleep, wary of everything around him. For him, the best place is dark, warm, not too big, and has an escape route.
The hall was in a mess, in a mess. Lin Jiaer is not the only one here, but dozens of corpses lying on the ground. There are men and women, most of them are naked, and they are obviously having a grand, promiscuous and promiscuous party. They will appear in Linjiaer's bedroom area, and it seems that they are probably the Duke's personal slaves.
Qianye moved away a dead body that was blocking the way. This is a young woman, completely naked, and by the standards of all races, she is a beautiful woman with a hot body and a delicate face. She was covered in bruises and minor cuts all over her body, and she was obviously having a lot of fun. At this moment, her beautiful face was full of pain and despair, and the image she saw at the last moment was still condensed in her pupils, which was the gate of the bedroom area and the crowd of people in front of the gate.
Obviously, the war broke out suddenly, and Ling Jiaer had to fight, but the banquet in the hall continued. Not long after the battle started, Lin Jiaer's ship suffered a fatal blow from Qianye and was cut off in the middle. These slaves were not the crew of the ship. They were only superior in appearance, but they didn't have much strength. In a critical moment, they couldn't even open the door of the bedroom area, and then died in the erosion of the void force. Although there is a final protection in the bedroom area, so that they will not become mummies, it also prolongs their painful death process.
Qianye shook his head, gaining a new understanding of the extravagance of the demon nobles. It is conceivable what Lin Jiaer was doing in the room before the encounter. Apart from various valuable decorations in the hall, there was nothing that interested Qianye. So he began to search the small rooms from room to room.
Most of the small rooms are for the slaves to live in, and Ling Jiaer's own bedroom is not much bigger. It seems that she prefers to sleep in the hall. There was nothing in this room, but the power of the wrecked ship had been lost, and Qianye could not escape all the secret chambers, so Qianye soon found the real secret chamber.
This secret room is elegantly furnished, with delicate patterns carved on the quiet log-colored walls, high-quality and exquisite carpets on the smooth floor, and various classics neatly placed on the glazed shelves, just like a charming room. study. There was a desk in the middle with a book of notebooks open, the pen still inserted in the ink bottle, it seemed that she planned to come back and continue writing.
There are two dolls against the wall, each wearing a set of armor, the samples are different, and the quality is also uneven. These two pieces of armor are a bit old, and there are still many traces of repairs on them. Some damage is difficult to repair and still leaves marks on the exterior. For the current Lin Jiaer, their quality is too ordinary, but they are placed in the core secret room. Obviously, they are the armor that accompanied her growing up, so they are placed here as a souvenir.
On the other wall are some weapons, which are also souvenirs.
This notebook is the last remaining in this secret room. Qianye sat on the seat, opened it and read it carefully. This notebook is not an ordinary diary, but records many secrets and various transactions. Most of them are all kinds of shady content, such as some of Lin Jiaer's interactions with the demons and even other big figures. There are quite a few memories of her youth, when she was often forced, or even directly conquered by violence.
These should have been painful memories, but now that they are written, they have become extremely stimulating memories, and she herself can't stop thinking about them. It seems that as her strength increases and her power expands, there are fewer and fewer things that can make her feel exciting. But the humiliation when I was young is full of interest in retrospect now.
That's all, but some of the IOUs mixed in it are quite interesting. Among them, a certain duke promised a series of conditions because he wanted Lin Jiaer to help fight a crucial war. This includes lending his three underage sons and daughters to Lin Jiaer to play for a month, as long as they don't die.
This receipt, and other similar IOUs, made Qianye understand what Song Zining once said. In the eyes of those in positions of power, as long as it is beneficial to the overall situation, there is nothing that cannot be traded.
Some other content has involved a series of secret transactions. Many of them are of great value. For example, in a conflict between nerubians and demon descendants, a nerubian marquis received a huge amount of benefits, thereby giving up an important area for defense, resulting in the cut off of the nerubian army's retreat, and a disastrous defeat. That conflict caused the Nerubians to lose territory equivalent to three provinces of the empire. And Lin Jiaer himself was also part of the deal. She spent three whole pages scolding the Marquis for being flashy and useless.
If Qianye remembered correctly, he had heard the name of the Nerubian Marquis before. The marquis of that year has now become a vice duke, and has become an upstart in the nerubian clan. If this transaction is exposed, it may cause a moderate earthquake between the two races, at least the nerubian vice duke may be severely punished. In that war that year, the nerubian clan lost many great figures.
The real value is this notebook. Gossip is nothing more than that, who doesn't have a lot of things behind him? But these secrets are all tricks. If Qianye was in Yongye, holding this notebook, it is very possible to make a fortune, but it is more likely that he will die and be killed quietly.
This notebook became heavy, Qianye couldn't figure out how to use it. He put the notes into Anduya's space and put them away carefully. There are many secrets in it, maybe there will be opportunities to use it in the future.
