Chapter 203: 201: Underground World (1000 monthly tickets plus more)
Luo Yi had thought that the Raymond family's treasure trove was amazing, but he didn't expect it to be so amazing.
In the huge space, dozens of stone pillars supported it, and wooden boxes were neatly stacked, filled with various gold bars.
But more of them are actually piled on the ground like a small hill, and the brilliance of various gold coins is so dazzling that it makes people dizzy.
Shenlan quickly made a judgment that there were at least millions of gold coins of various types here, an extremely exaggerated number.
Even though Luo Yi had accumulated hundreds of thousands of properties in just two years, most of them were real estate, not Jintil.
Seeing so many gold coins piled up in front of him still gave him a huge shock.
Of course, his performance was pretty good, at least he remained calm, while the other three were stunned.
Even Oliveira, who was accustomed to keeping a straight face, had his mouth open.
Iron Knight Phil Zek even took a few steps forward, but when he was about to reach out his hand, he was stopped by Loy.
He was a little embarrassed. "My Lord Earl, I am sorry for being rude. I have never seen so much gold before, so I lost my composure."
"I haven't seen it either. It's normal to lose your composure. I dare to bring you here because I am willing to trust you."
Luo Yi said this and looked around again. Not finding any suitable object, he just took out a bullet.
"The reason I'm stopping you is because these gold coins are dangerous!"
He flicked the bullet out with some force, and it landed on the gold coins, causing some of them to fly everywhere.
And under the gold coin, a monster the size of a thumb, with a spider-like body and a scorpion tail suddenly appeared.
He roared in all directions, then raised the gold coins and buried himself.
"The venomous scorpion beast is a kind of beetle that looks inconspicuous but is good at hiding itself and is extremely poisonous.
If you were truly dazzled by the gold and were hit, you might not die as quickly as the Dark Mist Worm, but it would definitely be painful enough."
The Iron Knight's face twitched, and he could only say, "The ancestors of the Raymond family are really cautious!"
"Okay, forget about that. The real treasure is actually here."
As he spoke, he led everyone along the edge of the hall and walked to the back of the golden mountain.
There, in the separated space, there are several doors.
The door closest to him had two words written on it: Armor!
Luo Yi opened it very quickly and saw that there were human-shaped wooden stakes wearing full-body knight armor.
Although the styles are slightly different, each pair shines with metallic luster from the inside out.
Some even had magic patterns engraved on them, emitting a faint magical glow, and were obviously rare magic armors.
In addition, there are leather armor, lapel armor, chain mail, and even armor for horses.
Behind the second door are weapons, including various knight swords, lances, spears, bows, and arrows.
Behind the third door are rare treasures, various corals, pearls, gems, and magic cores, which also fill the room.
Behind the fourth door were piles of food and several deep pools with clear and sweet water.
As for the fifth door, it had the word "potion" written on it, but Luo Yi did not open it.
Otto was curious and wanted to see, but Loy pulled him back.
He asked in surprise, "Can't look inside?"
Luo Yi said: "This is another trap. It's not a magic potion that will kill people."
"Besides, potions usually have a time limit. If left out for too long, they lose their effect. How could they possibly be here?
Besides, didn’t you notice that there are no magic props here?"
Otto pondered, "As far as I know, most magic items need to be carefully cared for, otherwise their magic power will be lost over time.
And those magic scrolls are disposable, so their usefulness is even shorter."
“So, there’s no need to collect it!”
"Haven't you figured it out yet? This place, though said to be a treasure trove, is actually our ancestors' preparation for a comeback.
If things really get to the point where there's no other way, just enter here and use the traps and mechanisms along the way to kill all the pursuers.
The weapons, armor, food and water here are enough to feed a thousand or eight hundred people.
By then, even if I want to make a comeback, I will have the capital.”
The Iron Knight nodded slightly in agreement, but then asked, "Then what's behind this last door?"
"You still haven't figured out where this is?"
His question was so sudden that both of them were stunned. Finally, the eyes of the more experienced Iron Knight Phil Zeke lit up.
"Dark fog insects, poisonous scorpion beasts, and this endless corridor. If I remember correctly, this should be the underground world!"
"I've only heard of it before, but I never thought, I never imagined, that there would be a passage leading to the underground world in my Flower Territory?!!"
The Old World has a long history. In addition to the surface races, there are also passages extending deep into the underground.
And deep underground, there is also a larger space, a complex ecosystem, incomprehensible roads, intelligent life, and many powerful monsters wreaking havoc.
Even before the ancient times, when hundreds of races fought against each other, some elves were driven into the ground, thus evolving into the infamous dark elves, gray dwarves, minotaurs and other races.
During a certain period, wars broke out frequently between the underground world and the surface world, and the fighting was fierce.
However, as time went by and humans completely occupied the Old World, the underground world was almost becoming a legend.
And here is a passage leading to the underground world.
The Raymond family built a treasure trove in order to accumulate supplies for a comeback one day.
This place is shrouded in powerful magic, but there is a way out.
For example, this door called "Magic Potions". Once opened, it is equivalent to stepping out of the range of magic and truly entering the underground world.
By then, what we will face will be even more bizarre and a hundred times more dangerous than now.
The reason why the Raymond family felt at ease was because this secret vault was truly located in great danger.
Of course, Luo Yi was fine, but he didn't want to hang out in the underground world.
So, they checked the treasure trove, estimated the approximate amount of supplies, and then left.
The only things they took away were five large boxes of various gold coins, about 100,000 gold coins.
No matter what you do, you need funds. Luo Yi came here to see if the Lion Fortress is real and if this treasure trove is real.
And the most important thing is for these gold coins.
As for those extremely poisonous scorpion beasts, Luo Yi used his own blood to drive them away.
The blood of the Raymond family and the breath of the lion king are enough to dispel those specially cultivated poisonous scorpion beasts.
And the curse magic attached to the gold coin!
Didn’t expect that?
This gold coin has an insurance policy!
To be honest, if it weren't for the records in ancient books, this treasure trove would be no different from a cannibalism place. It's full of traps!
It is worth mentioning that on the return trip, the route they took was different from the one they took when they came.
The portal we came from is one-way, only for entry but not exit, and those dark fog insects can only be killed in a room with strong light.
When they returned, they seemed to be taking the same route, but they were not going to the same place.
The portal here is for exit only, not entry.
Returning to the Lion Castle again, Luo Yi felt the abundant quantity in the dimensional bag and felt that he was terribly strong.
Now that I have money, I feel more confident!
Driving the carriage back to Lion Manor, the original stable had changed its appearance.
The entire communication magic circle covers an area of three meters on the ground. Various complex magic patterns are deep underground. Thanks to the efforts of Master Mennon and Ms. Palacios, it has already taken shape.
Also in the manor, there were already dozens of vassals and knights waiting for Loy.
The conference hall will only be used to discuss important matters, and all vassals must be recruited before it can be used.
Under normal circumstances, whenever there was something to discuss, he would have a private conversation with Count Raymond in the study, and the Count would make all the decisions.
Or a core team of several people would gather together and express their opinions, and the earl would listen and make the final decision.
Luo Yi has a lot of things to deal with every day, especially in the current situation.
The chaos in Xianhualing has not yet been completely settled, and there are many problems that need to be solved one by one by him.
This morning, Lord Regan, Shik Cruz, and Grand Knight Vincent Ackerman all came, each with their own business.
While listening to their reports, Luo Yi continued to gain a deeper understanding of the specific situation of the entire Flower Territory.
For example, Lord Regan is in charge of money, including taxes on the Flower Territory, maritime trade, perfume business, gold exchange, etc...
In other words, he prefers the position of treasurer.
Whenever Luo Yi wanted to withdraw money, it would basically be spent and paid out from his side.
Lord Shik Cruz is mainly responsible for matters related to magical machinery.
Basically, it is to implement various policies, dispatch personnel, communicate with imperial professionals, and solve various practical problems.
His authority is enormous, mainly because it covers more aspects and requires the cooperation of many departments.
If he did not have enough power, others would simply ignore him. However, he was the most trusted by Count Karl Raymond and naturally had the greatest power.
In addition, there is a person in charge of agriculture in the government system.
For example, the harvest of grain, sowing, hunting of wild animals, deforestation, etc. are all under the jurisdiction of this person.
There is also one who is in charge of punishment, murder, robbery, theft, stealing...
Once these people are caught, they will be tried and punished, whether by beating or killing, or sent to forced labor, and there are certain rules to follow.
However, these two people were unlucky and died in the Lion Castle, so the positions are now vacant.
In terms of military force, the Knights of the Lion on land and the escort fleet at the seaports remain intact.
It is worth mentioning that time passes slowly in the process of constantly handling affairs, constantly understanding, and constantly implementing policies.
In the blink of an eye, a week has passed.
On August 12, 312 of the New Divine Calendar, the three decrees finally spread throughout the Flower Territory and showed their effectiveness.
It was late again, but I kept my promise!
