Chapter 187 Casefile 6: Twin Kings' Tombs (8)
Just as Andre expected, the passage under the stone door leads to the underground treasure house opened up by Evil Eye Moon in the Gemini Kings' Tomb.
They took some time to ventilate the room, and asked the dwarf craftsmen to dismantle some traps and mechanisms before they leisurely strolled in.
Sure enough, behind the stone gate at the end of the tunnel was a huge treasure trove, just as the jeweler who had previously forged the treasure for Baron Neumann had said, it was comparable to a dragon's lair.
The ground was covered with scattered gold, and boxes of jewelry were stacked together in a mess... This was the first time that Jiangyou saw so much gold.
"Wow! I'm rich!" Jiangyou said with shining eyes.
"Don't be too happy yet," Andre warned, "There's still a lot of counterfeit money and fake jewelry in here that Baron Neumann forged."
"Ah..." Jiang You couldn't help but curl his lips, "Baron Neumann is really bad. So we have to keep the fake one?"
"No, we'll move everything out." Andrei smiled broadly. "Even if they're fake, don't leave them to Evil Eye Moon. They'll have the opportunity to take advantage of the situation and pass them off as genuine, disrupting the trading order."
"Oh wow!" Jiang You was quite supportive. She rubbed her hands together, her eyes curved, "Shall we start moving?"
Andre took out a treasure map, which he drew according to Baron Neumann's black tent.
He asked the dwarves who were familiar with metals to test the gold samples along the dividing lines of the treasure map. After confirming the dividing line between the real and the fake, he arranged two groups of people to transport them separately.
These gold jewelry and counterfeits will be transported back to Eston West City by separate vehicles, where they will undergo a more detailed round of testing to further distinguish the real from the fake.
Identified counterfeits are destroyed and smelted to extract other metals. Although it's not real gold or silver, it's still something you picked up for free; even brass has its own price.
No matter how small a mosquito leg is, it is still meat. Anyway, the dwarves accept all kinds of metal. They can just sell them and make a profit.
Moving the gold and jewelry from this tomb was a huge project. After the knights took the prisoners away, they all devoted themselves to the work of moving. Even the undead were called in to work.
The undead stagnant in the real world have the power to manipulate objects into floating in the air. Now all their intelligence has been extracted, and for the sake of delicious offerings, they can only do physical labor.
With the help of so many undead, the task of robbing the Evil Eye Moon progressed rapidly.
Andre and his team were busy all night long, and vehicles loaded with gold drove into the west city of Eston under the cover of darkness.
The tomb chamber where Evil Eye Moon hid its treasures was completely emptied. Andrei and Jiangyou finally walked around the mausoleum and found the twin tombs with two sarcophagi.
Jiang You laid out the offerings and bowed politely to the two sarcophagi: "You two... uh..."
——What were those two? She remembered that these twins were one the winner and the other the loser. How should they be called?
Her knowledge of local history was limited, and she stuttered as soon as she opened her mouth, ultimately mumbling something: "...Your Majesty, we have helped you drive away the thieves who arbitrarily occupied your mausoleum and used your bedroom—or was it your living room—as a storage room. We have also cleared out the sundries that the thieves left behind!
"You two can now rest in peace. These offerings are for you to enjoy!"
Andre, who was listening: "..." Although what Xiaogutou said seemed to be true, there seemed to be something wrong?
Jiangyou greeted the two homeowners and happily ran away with Andre.
The trapdoor in the stone house was also resealed by the knights, and all the useful items in the stone house, including the magic tools and magic circles that could expel the undead, were taken away by them. Nothing was left in the entire house except bricks and stones.
The East City of Eston was occupied by the undead again, but this time, each undead had a bag of soul grass seeds in his hand.
These seeds are all new seeds of soul grass that sprouted and grew in the east city of Eston. Jiang You handed them all to the undead, and asked the undead to be responsible for cultivating and harvesting the soul grass.
She made an agreement with the undead that every day a team of knights would come with freshly baked offerings to exchange for ripe soul grass fruits from the undead.
The undead only need to continue planting soul grass here, keep an eye on the people of Evil Eye Moon who come to the cabin later, and report the latest situation here to the delivery knight.
Soul grass can grow on its own if it is thrown anywhere where there is abundant resentment and netherworld energy. The undead only need to pick the fruit in time when it is ripe and move it under the sunlight.
It doesn't matter if the fruit is overripe. After the fruit bursts, it will release new seeds, and these seeds can automatically grow more fruits.
The work is not much, but it can be exchanged for delicious food. All the undead are willing to do this kind of good thing. Jiang You easily gained a group of new employees. He was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling and laughed all the way.
Of course, the greatest joy comes from the mountains of gold and treasures.
"A large portion of these treasures belong to the previous royal family," Andrei told Jiang You. "The gold coins and bars are all stamped with the emblems of the previous dynasty, and the emblems belong to the last king, Rudolf Delman."
"Then this gold isn't the burial object from the twin tombs," Jiang You reacted quickly. King Rudolf Delman lived many years later than the twins. "Where did the people of Evil Eye Moon get so much gold from King Rudolf's time?"
"I don't know." Andre shook his head, "But I think the rumor that 'there are descendants of King Rudolf Delman among the high-ranking officials of Evil Eye Moon' is becoming more and more credible.
"Perhaps we need to re-screen all of King Rudolf Delman's descendants... Since the top leaders of Evil Eye Moon are connected to the lich, perhaps even those who are already dead should be re-identified."
He had a vague guess in his mind. Judging from the reaction of the Great Magician Mebucha before, the Great Magician Mebucha and His Majesty the King might both know the mastermind behind the scenes, and His Majesty the King might even have some unclear relationship with that person.
A name has been lingering in Andre's mind for a long time and is about to come out, but Andre has not yet figured out what his boss means, so he can only bury the answer in his heart for the time being.
——Could that person really be the mastermind behind this?
