Chapter 17 Unable to Absorb



Yang Jing and Guo Xiaoxiang walked for more than an hour before they arrived at the famous Cardiff Castle.

You know what, this castle looks even more majestic than the Vardi Castle.

After all, it was the castle that had been meticulously maintained by the Butt family for more than 170 years. Compared with the wealthy Butt family, the declining Vardi family was nothing.

In fact, even at the peak of the Vardi family's prosperity, they could not compare with the Bute family. How could the Vardi family's castle compare with Cardiff Castle?

Although Cardiff Castle is now the seat of Cardiff City Council, some parts of it are still open to tourists.

Yang Jing and Guo Xiaoxiang spent 22 pounds to buy two tickets and followed the crowd into the main gate of the castle.

It’s no wonder that the interior of Cardiff Castle is also extremely magnificent. Not to mention, the main castle alone is much more imposing than that of Vardi Castle.

The two of them wandered around inside for more than an hour, and only came out when it was time for dinner.

"Old Yang, are you enjoying this?" The fat man rubbed his sore legs. In a place like this where one needs to walk to tour, it would definitely be a huge burden for someone of Guo Xiaoxiang's weight.

"It lives up to its reputation!" Although Yang Jing was inspired, he didn't seem to be very interested.

In fact, the reason why Yang Jing stayed in Cardiff today instead of rushing back to London was not because he wanted to visit the city as Yang Jing said. The main purpose was that Yang Jing wanted to "get in touch" with more antiques and cultural relics here.

The holy ring needs to be replenished with "precious energy" - this word was coined by Yang Jing. Since the energy replenished for the first time was absorbed from the three sketches of Picasso, Yang Jing simply gave this energy a high-end, classy name, precious energy.

The precious energy contained in just three sketches obviously cannot meet the energy needs of the Holy Ring. Because of not knowing this, I appraised the three paintings several times before, which resulted in the Holy Ring directly sounding an alarm. And if I want to activate other skills in the skill tree, I don’t know how much energy is needed. Therefore, the most important task now is to replenish the energy of the Holy Ring and find some more antiques and cultural relics for the Holy Ring to absorb enough!

Cardiff is the capital of the Principality of Wales and a city with a long history. It also has Cardiff Castle and Cardiff National Museum, which are places full of antiques and cultural relics. How could Yang Jing miss this place?

According to Yang Jing's idea, if he took a walk here, even if there were many antique cultural relics that could not be touched directly, Cardiff Castle itself was an extremely large cultural relic. If he could absorb the treasures contained in it, then his energy tank would definitely be filled up.

It was because of this idea that Yang Jing decided to stay for a day.

As a result, the facts seemed to be quite different from what he thought...

Cardiff Castle does have a history of more than 2,000 years, which Yang Jing has confirmed. At a certain location in the main castle, Yang Jing spent 1% of his energy to identify the castle, and the result of the Holy Ring was very accurate. Of course, the identification result was very complicated. The oldest building of the castle did appear in 76 AD, which is more than 2,000 years ago.

But more parts of the castle are a thousand to several hundred years old.

For example, the two walnut doors covered with iron sheets in the main castle have a history of more than 500 years, which is earlier than the history of the Bute family taking over Cardiff Castle. It is definitely an antique.

There are many valuable antiques on display in the castle, all of which have a history of hundreds of years, but those things are well protected. Tourists can only watch them from a distance and cannot touch them at all. Therefore, Yang Jing can only aim at the wooden door.

Sure enough, when Yang Jing touched the two doors, he felt a warmth on his left hand, but unfortunately, the heat seemed to only remind Yang Jing that this was an antique with a history, and the heat inside could not be absorbed no matter what.

This made Yang Jing very puzzled and depressed.

It is obviously an antique, and the holy ring also has a hint. These two doors also clearly contain precious energy, but why can't this precious energy be absorbed?

Not only the two gates, but also in other parts of the castle, there are many cultural relics that tourists can directly touch, such as a bronze statue in the outer courtyard of the main castle.

The answer given by the ring was that the bronze statue had a history of more than 700 years, which was longer than the two doors. Yang Jing also clearly felt the heat coming from the bronze statue, but unfortunately, like the two doors, the precious energy in this bronze statue could not be absorbed!

This is so depressing.

It's like a pervert who has been locked up for more than 20 years is released on the first day and suddenly sees a naked beauty lying there, bending over and posing for him. As a result, the pervert is about to draw his gun and mount his horse, but he finds that there is a sealed bulletproof glass box between the two of them...

That feeling can definitely drive people crazy.

At that time, Yang Jing, who didn't believe it, thought that there was some barrier between his left hand, the door and the statue, so he rubbed it hard with his hands, almost wearing his skin off, but didn't absorb even a little bit of energy.

This even caused the fat man to tease him: Lao Yang, how come you have such a heavy taste? Why are you interested in wooden doors and statues?

In the end, Yang Jing had no choice but to give up this place. However, Yang Jing still didn't believe in evil, and after leaving Cardiff Castle and eating something outside, he took the fat man to the Cardiff National Museum.
