Chapter 223: Finding a Treasure (I)



Boom~ The stone wall behind him closed. Livia thought the space would fall into darkness, but to his surprise, the stone wall of the spiral staircase emitted colorful lights in the darkness, illuminating the space.

"This is……

Night-shining pearl?"

Livia looked at the many round gems emitting brilliance on the stone wall of the stairs with some surprise and said, Natalia and the old butler in front of him turned their heads to look at him with a slight smile on their faces when they heard his words.

"Sir Livia, we call this gem that emits bright light a colorful light stone."

The old butler smiled and explained.

"But the name Night Pearl is quite appropriate."

Natalia smiled and continued.

Livia smiled awkwardly. Night Pearl was the name of the object in his previous life, and he said it subconsciously. However, it was nothing. After all, it was normal for the same object to be called differently in different places.

Not paying attention to this little episode, Natalia and the old butler turned around and walked downstairs.

Livia followed behind and kept looking at the night-shining pearl on the stone wall, feeling a little uneasy. This was what they called the treasure being squandered, with nothing left.

He didn't believe that these night pearls would be cheap. He felt that night pearls would not be cheap even if they were sold as natural gems. If this was the case along the way, there would be at least a hundred of them.

Although he didn't know any gem experts, even if he simply considered each gem as one hundred farongs, so many would be worth tens of thousands.

After a few minutes, Livia estimated that they were at least dozens of meters underground when they finally arrived.

Walking out of the stairs and standing behind Natalia and the housekeeper, Livia looked at the door in front of him with a complicated expression. He always felt that this was a show of wealth to him.

It is said that the family has fallen into poverty and all the treasures have been squandered. The luminous pearls along the way are fine, but what about the door in front of them that is made of gold and silver and inlaid with many gems?

Which impoverished nobleman is like this?

? ?

Although he had never met many nobles, he could tell from Delon that normal nobles did not have such financial resources. This was not a poor noble. Even a normal earl would not be at this level.

Livia complained silently in her heart. Natalia in front of her just took out a palm-sized pure gold key from her arms to open the door of the treasure house in front of her. Suddenly, she noticed Livia's strange expression, and she understood what was going on. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

"In fact, these are the only decorations left. The money has been almost spent."

Natalia said with a helpless look.

As she spoke, she inserted the pure gold key in her hand into the door hole.

Click~Click~Click~Click~You can feel the sounds of many mechanisms coming from the key inserted into the back door. Livia was not surprised. For such an important place, just one lock would not be enough to ensure safety.

Boom~ With a loud noise, the door of the treasury slowly opened, revealing a stone cave space that was completely inconsistent with the door of the treasury.

Although the reinforced stone walls of the treasury and the stairs were inlaid with luminous pearls, they were not as magnificent as imagined. Instead, they looked a bit shabby and out of place with the main door of the treasury, making people wonder if they had opened the wrong door.

Moreover, in the huge treasury, there were only a dozen large iron boxes piled in the middle and a few stone shelves against the stone wall, which looked very desolate.

This made Livia feel that what Natalia had said before about her being in such a miserable state was true.

"The colorful light stones and the gate you see are just inconvenient to be removed, otherwise they would have been gone long ago. Besides, if they were really removed, this treasure house would have no meaning to exist."

Natalia said with a somewhat lonely look that these were not supposed to be her responsibility, but now she was the only one who had to shoulder the burden of the Lambardia family, and she had no choice or room to retreat.

The old butler did not speak, but his expression was somewhat ugly and sad. Although his family had not always served the Lambardia family, they had served them for four or five generations in a row. From childhood to his current age, he naturally had a sense of belonging. Although it was not his responsibility that the Lambardia family was in such a state of decline, he could not help feeling sad after seeing the family's current decline.

Livia nodded silently, and he didn't say anything about it.

"Come with me."

Natalia didn't say anything else. She took a deep breath and walked forward.

The old butler stood at the door without moving, bowed to him and motioned him to follow in.

Livia looked at him and walked into the treasury. Natalia took him past the iron boxes piled in the middle and came straight to the stone shelf.

When passing by, Livia felt that the box was filled with many small items. She thought it should be the same box that was taken out in the hall to motivate them before, full of Farrons. In this way, the Lanbardia family still had hundreds of thousands of Farrons in savings. After all, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, so it is reasonable that there are still so many Farrons.

Then Livia's eyes swept to the ground in other places in the treasury. He could see the surroundings clearly even in the complete darkness, not to mention the faint light of the night pearl. Naturally, he saw something.

Judging from the traces on the ground, there should have been nearly half of these boxes piled up here within the past hundred years, but they should have been lost just as Natalia said.

Thinking of this, Livia couldn't help but feel a little emotional. It seemed that no matter which world it was, no matter how much wealth the ancestors left behind, it would eventually be squandered by the descendants.

Just like his big family in his previous life and...

Just like a dynasty, it cannot continue forever.

"These are the last remaining extraordinary items of the Lambardia family."

Natalia walked to the stone shelf and said calmly, "You can choose items within a certain value."

Hearing her say this, Livia shifted his gaze to the stone shelf. After hearing what Natalia said and seeing the treasure house for the first time, he really thought that there were only a few items left. However, there were more than twenty different items scattered on the shelf in front of him, all emitting extraordinary fluctuations of varying strengths.

but……

"No introduction?"

Livia looked at the more than 20 objects in front of him, turned his head and asked Natalia in confusion. Hearing his question, Natalia shook her head with a helpless look on her face, "All the recorded and usable ones have been taken by the previous generations and me."

"The remaining items are all unrecorded. I don't know whether they were lost or there was no record of their identification. But I think the former is more likely."

"so……

I can’t introduce you to it.”

At this point, Natalia gave Livia an apologetic smile.

After listening to her, Livia's eyes returned to the shelf, and his face looked a little strange.

So it's like letting yourself choose, but in fact it's like letting yourself pick up trash?

Oh, it can’t be said to be picking up trash. The extraordinary fluctuations of some items here are still very strong.

So……

Are you going to pick up the leak yourself?

Thinking of this, Livia felt a little amused.
