Chapter 165: The Mad Hatter's Little Vault
"Really, fake. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info. Standing in front of the small dark door behind her, Alice looked at the scene in front of her that was enough to completely collapse her previous view of money, and her brain couldn't help but fall into a momentary pause.
And a few minutes ago, when the white ball of light that suddenly flew out of Alice's collar penetrated a remote wall in the hall, Alice, who had already been tormented by the "maze of threads", didn't bother to analyze what this sudden ball of light had to do with the inexplicably hot green rune printed on her shoulder, and ran directly to the wall just now, touching every corner of it, even every stone crevice.
As Alice's fingers inadvertently pressed a moving broken brick in the corner of the wall, the wall that was still performing the duties of the wall suddenly shook with a loud muffled sound, and then all the masonry began to move irregularly, gradually spreading around, revealing a spiral staircase leading to the ground behind the wall.
And with the somewhat casual idea that "this is just a public facility in the academy anyway, no matter how you say it, there will be no danger to your life", even though knowing that Ying's mental power scanning did not figure out what was going on in the underground world behind the wall, Alice and Ying decided to go down the stairs first to see what was going down there after a brief calculation.
After all, they happen to be surrounded by the maze outside the hall now, and it is difficult to achieve anything if they continue to work like they did just now, and this passage led by the ball of light just now, although they don't know what awaits them below, is obviously much better than stopping in place without making any progress, and seizing the opportunity that appears in front of them.
In addition, Alice is indeed curious about the origin of the ball of light just now, and also wants to find out the connection between it and this hall under the library... And what if there is an elevator back to the upper floor at the bottom of the stairs?
After walking through this narrow staircase spiraling downward, a very inconspicuous black door was pushed open, and there was still a large hall in front of Alice, but the hall in front of her was obviously different from the previous one, not only did it have a wider area than the former, but also had a good lighting that could not find a light source, but illuminated the whole hall brightly.
But these are not really much, the most shocking thing here is actually the huge amount of treasure stored in the hall, and the total value of it is not counted.
Mountains of precious stones and pearls, armory racks with all kinds of delicate weapons with their own glittering effects, and a wide variety of armor and armed display racks that you can see at a glance, and precious metal objects such as gold bars and silver bars, which do not affect their value even if damaged, are thrown everywhere like garbage.
And the light that existed in the hall, while illuminating the entire hall, also illuminated the room full of magical equipment, fairy swords, and those gold coins and gold nuggets that covered almost every inch of the floor, and the people who reflected the various treasures could not open their eyes.
"It's really... Awesome. Probably never really seen such a huge amount of wealth, Alice was stunned for a moment, looking at the treasure that is estimated to make a normal person squander more than 10,000 lifetimes, stunned...
For some reason, I began to play a cycle of a hideous-looking reptilian creature constantly splashing and rolling in the vaults of the Dwarven Empire, making a mountain of gold coins under me rattle, and even lying down in the pile of money, waking up and opening my eyes, the sight of gold coins flowing like tears on my eyelids.
"This is probably the mushroom girl's private vault, if only I had these in my last life... No, it was probably enough to have such a small piece of the ground in the previous life. Thinking back to the view of money that she had shaped since she was a child in her previous life, and looking at these precious metals that are like garbage now, Alice simply didn't know how to feel about it.
However, compared to Alice's shock, it is obvious that money is not so much of an impact on an elven life like Ying, and it should be said that the little guy has not been able to understand the meaning of such a huge amount of wealth at all, probably just wondering why this place will gather so much of the two metals alone.
"Lord Alice, what's wrong with you all of a sudden. Pulling Alice's pointed ears, Ying frowned slightly, she obviously didn't understand why Alice was shaken to such a degree, obviously in the cognition of her powerful spiritual power, there was no phantom array similar to a trap here, and there was no strange power that affected the minds of others.
"It's nothing, it's just a sudden startback. Being reminded by Ying, Alice also calmed down a lot, took a few deep breaths, and put back the "country bun" face that had never seen money at the beginning.
Although it is not a dislike for treating money like dung, it can at least be regarded as indifferent.
"Well... If the amount is so large, it may be fake, but the weight is really about the same... Picking up a gold ingot from the ground, Alice gently brushed it in her hand and threw it into the air.
Immediately, a black light flashed in his right hand, and a long knife immediately slashed at the body of the gold ingot that fell from mid-air. With this slash, the gold ingot was suddenly cut in two in midair, but unlike Alice's expectation, the gold ingot was not doped with lead or other heavy metals, and the fracture was still real gold with a golden luster.
"We've probably made it to the legendary Dragon's Lair, the Mad Hatter's little vault... Although I knew that she was in charge of the academy, I really didn't expect her to be so rich. In silence, Alice picked up the two pieces of gold that had fallen to the ground, and then tossed them to a pile of gold coins not far away.
After that, Alice suddenly began to stretch her body and do warm-up exercises.
"Lord Alice, what are you going to do. Seeing that his little master kept doing a series of unnamed movements, Ying asked with some doubts.
"It's nothing... Alice didn't answer Ying directly, nor did she take any action immediately, but after a little warm-up, she began to jump in place slightly.
"I just think it's going to be fun. ”
The silver-white hair on her back continued to fly with Alice's beating, and the small demon horns were hidden between the hairs, and after this slightly understated answer, Alice's legs, which were still jumping slightly, suddenly burst into the air, and then, with an elegant entry into the water, she plunged headlong into the pile of gold coins closest to her and the largest in the entire underground hall.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
"Although the number is so large and the arrangement is so messy, this is the interior of the academy, and it is not an unknown treasure cave, these gold coins, silver ingots and so on are definitely counted. ”
After indulging in the pile of gold coins under her, Alice half-buried herself in the gold coins, casually throwing the gold coins around her into the air, and touching the green runes that were slightly heated on her shoulders.
And recalling that this one has been engraved on her body since she left the building, although it is almost the same as nothing on weekdays, and even a little miracle has not appeared, but why is there such a ball of light born under this library in the academy, I think it is because there are many treasures here, what can stimulate it, or that the girl in the Taoist robe who talked to her at the beginning is still living in this rune.
But no matter what, there probably won't be any danger.
"I really don't want to move. No longer thinking about what she didn't have, Alice let out a long breath as she lay down in the pile of gold coins, listening to the melodious crunch of the coins below her as she moved, and even felt that the little strength she had just recovered seemed to be gone.
"Lord Alice, don't forget why we're here in the first place... Ying wiped the non-existent sweat from her forehead, nudged Alice's pointed ears, and pointed to the white ball of light floating alone in the air in an area in the center of the hall that was a little empty compared to the other spaces.
"Didn't we chase that ball of light?"
"Well, it seems that it is... Slowly turning over in the pile of gold coins, Alice calmed down slightly, and finally made up her mind and stood up again.
"But at the end of the day, these aren't my things.,Although I've really wanted to play that game lately.,But if you want to.,It's better to earn it yourself.,Anyway, I'm also a collector.,Cheating is not a good habit.。 ”
And just as Alice turned over, she felt the touch of the gold coin like flowing water across her skin... Oh my God, I want to lie back again.
"I always feel like I'm losing if I don't do it, but now that I think about it, it seems a little stupid... Finally pulled out of the pile of money and stood on the solid floor of the underground hall again, Alice, who had thrown off all the gold coins on her body, only slightly recalled what she had just done, and felt a little embarrassed.
"Well... As long as Mistress Alice is happy. Yingjing sat on Alice's shoulder, and didn't comment much, just put on a "cute, well-behaved" look.
"Don't say that. Alice scratched her head helplessly, in her opinion, Ying might as well complain directly about her to make her more comfortable.
However, although the two were still chatting, they were constantly moving under their feet, and at the moment they were following the white ball of light that was slowly floating forward in front of them, and this light was also like having its own consciousness, obviously just now when Alice was still messing around in the pile of money, it was just quietly suspended in place, and when Alice refocused her attention on it, the ball of light began to move again.
The speed of the white ball of light was not fast, and the two of them did not have the slightest difficulty in keeping up with this thing, and after bypassing a few small piles of gold coins in the hall, medium-sized piles of silver ingots, plus a few weapon racks and armor boxes that people couldn't open their eyes to, the ball of light finally stopped in a pile... Above the green bricks.
"Uh。。。。。 ”
After following for a long time, she found a bunch of green bricks that could be found everywhere in the library, not only Alice was a little stunned, but even Ying was a little confused.
But almost at the next moment, Alice seemed to understand something, suddenly clapped her hands, and began to clean up the bricks that had piled up, and Ying's eyes lit up after a little thought, and she figured out the key.
Normally, this pile of worthless green bricks in the treasure room will almost be ignored subconsciously, but if you think about it carefully, these broken bricks and tiles that are incompatible with the entire hall are so conspicuous, coupled with the guidance of the ball of light, there is nothing boring under this thing... How is that possible?
"Whoa... ”
As Alice kicked away the last green brick in the brick pile, revealing the flat floor below, the bright white ball of light that was still suspended above the brick pile just now immediately moved, without giving Alice any time to react, quickly sank into a green brick on the floor and disappeared.
Immediately after, there was a click of the mechanism, and the originally solid hall floor suddenly shook, and then two palm-sized masonry slammed down, revealing a deep pit the size of a human head under it, and from the deep pit, a small stone platform with large and small broken jade pieces slowly rose.
Let's not talk about whether it is damaged or not, just take a closer look at the jade, the jade is warm and smooth, delicate and moist, just this texture can know that it must be a beautiful jade that is difficult to find in the world, and it is a treasure that is qualified to be collected in this huge treasure room.
It's a pity that these large and small jade pieces were probably a complete jade artifact at the beginning, and if they can be preserved intact, their value will be immeasurable.
However, even if it has been damaged to this extent, these special jade pieces are still different from normal jade, and I don't know if it was originally like this, or if it was a change that occurred after being discovered by Alice, all of them exuded a very comfortable white halo at the moment.
"It's really interesting, it's clear that the outside is full of European and American style things, is there still jade hidden here?"
Circling back and forth around the stone platform a few times, Alice tilted her head and carefully observed the jade pieces in front of her. "It's broken though. ”
However, just as Alice and Ying focused most of their attention on the jade in front of them, they didn't notice that a large number of fine phosphorus-blue flames gradually began to flicker around them.
The flames streaked through the underground hall, bringing a breeze that gradually gathered around Alice, and as a ball of fire appeared that was clearly larger than the other phosphorus fires, an inaudible voice rang in Alice's ears.
"I've finally caught you. ”
"What... ”
Alice turned back in surprise, although she didn't find who was speaking, she also found a large number of phosphorus fires gathered together, but these flames also changed at this moment, quickly gathered not far behind Alice, and in an instant, she turned into a hideous rabbit puppet more than one person tall, with a large number of patches all over her body, burning with phosphorus blue flames.
And in the next moment, the huge rabbit burning with a strange phosphorus fire all over its body suddenly disappeared in place, and when it appeared in the next second, it had already deceived in front of Alice, so close that Alice could even count how many sharp fangs there were in the rabbit puppet's big mouth.
The giant phosphorus fire rabbit grinned at Alice with its large, fanged mouth.
"Welcome to my world, damn thief. ”
