Chapter 1092: Opening the Herasil Treasure
As early as May 28th, Aiwass and Yulia had arrived in Xingtan Territory.
The main purpose of their trip was to accompany Yulia to open the Hrasil Vault. After that, they would contact Landon Venez von Bayard and retrieve the Holy Sword that the Moriarty family had stored there.
The first goal can be accomplished in just one day.
Because the entrance to the Herasil Treasure is under the Triumph Palace in Lionheart City.
The first Valentine chose to build the Palace of Triumph in this place in order to prevent others from obtaining the secret treasures of Hellassar and gaining the power to resist the rule of Star Antimony.
And if the royal palace is built here, it can effectively prevent wild dogs from coming from nowhere from opening the secret treasures.
The way to open the secret treasure of Heracles is the blood of the Heracles family - it cannot be dead, it must be fresh.
The Star Antimony King's scepter itself is a key.
Insert it into the only gap in the basement, inject six kinds of magic power evenly... and the ground will roll over.
Runes flowed across the earth, unlocking one protective barrier after another.
This part of the protection was not made by the people of Herasil, but was a sealing device made by the first Valentine. This scepter is the key to the secrets of Herasil.
With a complex whirring of mechanisms, the otherwise plain ground transformed into a massive machine constructed of intricate golden structures. They were in the center of the scene, stepping onto a small disc. A propped-up golden disc spun and appeared before them—reminding Aiwass of a self-service machine with a touchscreen.
It is covered with numerous runes and codes, so complex that it is impossible to decipher. It is the true "lock" of the Herasil Vault.
Even after all these years, it is still spinning, emitting a strange dark golden light.
Scholars had long attempted to crack this mechanism, but they were unable to do so through brute force or decipher its underlying coding rules. It was too complex, and any force could potentially cause it to self-destruct. Furthermore, they simply couldn't understand the underlying rules underlying this device...
Perhaps the mages of Narcissus Territory could crack this problem. It's simply a matter of math and coding; finding the backdoor and cracking it wouldn't be difficult. With the assistance of the Mage Tower, this level of computation wouldn't take more than a few months.
But just as the cause of the Star Antimony Kingdom's demise, the Valentine family would never allow the mages of Narcissus Territory to access this device. It related to the Helasar Vault, a wealth so vast that it could form a nation.
Only members of the Valentine family can touch it.
This is also the reason why the Valentine family would give priority to choosing a powerful alchemist as their heir: they still hope that a genius will appear among the descendants of the family to solve all these problems.
This puzzle has also stumped generations of Valentines.
But solving this puzzle is an unconventional method... its real use is just to inject the blood of Hercules.
Yulia cut her palm in front of the golden disc and let the blood drip slowly from her fingertips onto the compass.
Thick blood dripping.
When the blood fell on the compass, the compass suddenly shone with golden light, illuminating the dim space.
Then it began to spin and disintegrate - blood was poured into the hidden channel in the middle.
Afterwards, runes lit up one by one.
There are four huge gems in the basement, which are gradually lit up.
Green, red, blue, yellow.
Four colors of gem lights light up——
It is said to be a simple code.
It was originally supposed to be a puzzle, but to prevent anyone from solving it and gaining access to the secret, the original text was destroyed by the Valentine family. However, the answer has been successfully cracked by the Star Antimony royal family—the correct code is three red, two yellow, one blue, and four red. A second person is required to strike the gems in sequence to activate the mechanism.
When the correct password was entered, a vague portal appeared in the trembling air.
Yulia still needed to maintain the posture of slowly dripping blood in, standing in front of the disc. As long as the blood injection stopped, the portal would close.
The ones who entered the secret vault were Aiwass and Noelle, the last queen of Xingtan.
She was very curious about the Heracles Vault and wanted to know what kind of treasures were hidden inside. Hong Xiang had previously brought a heart of Heracles and entered the Heracles Vault through it. Because it didn't last long, he came out soon.
Since then, he has been obsessed with it.
But when asked what was inside, he just smiled and kept silent.
He also took out several secret books from it... This made Noelle very curious. However, since then, they have never obtained the blood of Hercules again. Therefore, they have been unable to open the secret door of the treasure.
So at Aiwas's invitation, she immediately agreed to witness the miraculous day when the Herasil Vault was opened.
This portal seemed to be some kind of ancient teleportation method—there was a violent tugging and a strong pounding sensation upon entering. It felt like being in the trunk of a car, and then the car was driving wildly off-road. When the intense dizziness subsided, they were transported to a vault without doors or windows.
——This is a huge underground vault.
It's shaped like a reservoir... except it's overflowing not with water, but with gold.
The gold was neatly cast into gold bricks and placed in the "treasury". Because the depth of the "reservoir" was unknown, it was also unknown how much gold was contained in it.
Other than that, there's practically nothing in it.
"So, that's all..."
Noelle murmured softly, "Only gold?"
She was a little disappointed.
Although this is indeed a wealth that rivals that of a nation—this astonishing gold reserve may even exceed the total national wealth of Star Antimony. After all, this is the entire wealth of the Helasar Empire for over a thousand years, so this level is not surprising.
She actually felt it was a bit too little... because after all, it was just gold. This level of gold might be useful for a country, but for an individual, it was meaningless - even if the amount was reduced a hundredfold, it would never be spent.
This is a great gift for the newly born New Helasar Empire.
If Xingbi had been able to open the Herasil Vault, it wouldn't have been on the verge of collapse due to economic problems and forced to go to war...
——But what about the tantric books?
What about the other treasures? Are there any extraordinary items?
"You want to find treasures from the extraordinary world?"
Aiwass just smiled: "It's simple..."
As he said this, he pointed to the vault and said, “It’s all down there.
"The reason is simple—supernatural objects wear out over time, and therefore need to be contained within a barrier that isolates the inside and outside. This gold is another barrier, used to prevent the wear and tear of supernatural concepts...
"This gold is just the lid."
There is a second chapter, but it’s after midnight, so don’t wait if you want to go to bed early!
