Chapter Twenty-Eight: A Treasure at the Doorstep

When he walked out of his father's study, it was already past lunchtime, and his mother's complaints were still ringing in his ears, and his father's laughter was also close behind, but Alan was not in the mood to pay attention to these things that usually felt warm. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

His mind was already occupied, half of it was about the Holy See, half about the treasure.

The Holy See kept him on guard, but the treasure made him curious.

How much wealth does it take to make an ordinary person an earl?

You need to have the wealth to build a big city like Loglis from scratch, you need to have the wealth to bribe the major officials of the kingdom to dredge up relationships from bottom to top, you need to... Recruit and feed 5,000 soldiers and buy the armor and weapons they need, and more than enough wealth!

In fact, the earl class of the Orlando Kingdom is probably only a few people who have it, or can only say that they once had this kind of wealth, and most of the other earls are hereditary from the previous generation, and everything in their hands is not earned by themselves at all.

And now, this wealth is actually on the doorstep of one's own home?

Alan had a dreamlike feeling, so much so that he was in a trance during the meal, and it was not until after eating that he suddenly came back to his senses.

If you are rich or not, what does it matter to you?

Do you need money yourself?

Not really. Except for the foreign debt of five hundred gold coins, he had no other place to need money at all.

And the five hundred gold coins, although he doesn't have that much now, as long as he wants to get them, he can still get them, such as going outside the city to rob robbers, helping various noble classes solve some troubles, such as following some mercenaries to explore some ruins and ruins on the continent.

These can make up for the five hundred gold coins, he already has more than three hundred on him, and it is basically no problem to get more than two hundred.

Although it will be a little tiring.

But it can also achieve its own goals, isn't it?

thought so in his heart, but Alan actually knew that the wealth was always related to him, because it was at the doorstep.

His father, Kevin, didn't need it, or didn't expect it much, because he had owned it and gave it up. But others are hungry for it.

Joseph is one of them.

The Allen family didn't need this kind of wealth, but Joseph and others saw them as the number one enemy who prevented them from having it, which is why Allen had been falsely imprisoned before.

Joseph wants to use Allen to threaten Kevin into handing over something.

Not only did Kevin open his door for Joseph's men to dig into, but it also had a key.

A key that can open the door to the treasure.

Of course, there was not only one key, Joseph had another in his hand, which is why he knew that there was a treasure here.

Three keys are needed to open the treasure, but only two have "appeared", and the third key is unknown, which is why Joseph has endured it for many years but has not been troubled.

Why did he suddenly get into trouble now?

Did he find the third key?

Or maybe he can't wait to get a second one?

Alan had no way of knowing, and he didn't need to think too much about it.

Now that the enemy has already punched him, what is the use of thinking about it?

Facing head-on and destroying the enemy is what he needs to think about now!

Yes, Eren had never wanted to settle things, and he had been thinking about how to start his revenge.

It's just that the successive events during this period of time have made him a little busy for a while, and now there is the church incident, so that Alan can't calm down and make any plans at all.

He didn't have the heart to think about his revenge now, at least until the Holy See figured out the matter. But the thought of revenge has never been extinguished.

Sometimes he even thinks that it is okay to be a little mouse, at least when it comes to this kind of thing, he can kill them one by one.

However, the existence of his relatives could not allow him to do so.

......

With nothing to do in the afternoon, Alan simply ran to the area of the castle to practice climbing.

Up and down, Lisuo's nimble skills would probably be shocked if they were seen, but there are usually not many people in this castle area.

The castle was about a few tens of meters, not very high, and Alan climbed up the round tower in the corner, ran from the uneven top of the castle to the other side, and climbed down from the edge of the other side. And then repeat like this, or crawl somewhere else.

Crawling horizontally, vertically, or even crookedly, Alan can crawl here at will, if it weren't for the fact that he couldn't crawl upside down, it would be more like a spider.

Most of the castle's windows are open and only a few are closed, and although it is unoccupied, ventilation is essential. Alan could see through the window, but the dark hallways and empty halls weren't much to see.

This kind of stone castle with defense as the main thing is now obsolete, and most of the nobles pursue exquisite and luxurious garden castles, which are comfortable to live in, look beautiful, and are much more popular than this stone castle when the security is fully guaranteed.

In fact, because of the existence of the Holy See, it has been a long time since there has been a big war in the Holy Light Continent, so the nobles have always been safe.

It is said that the Holy Light Continent was not called this before, and it was not until the gods and the Holy See enveloped the world that it was renamed the Holy Light.

Alan didn't know what the name was before, but he wasn't very interested in the current name. The Light, these two words, always reminded him of something from the time of the earth that took pleasure in hindering humanity's search for the true meaning of life.

The sun was setting and the sun was setting, Alan looked at the sky and felt that it was time to go home, so he jumped from a height of more than two meters above the ground and walked in the direction of his house.

It's just that he didn't take a few steps, but he went backwards and came back.

Looking at the little guy who was cautiously cating in the corner, Alan asked helplessly, "When did you come?" ”

"Just now—" Ellie smiled, but it was worse than crying.

In fact, she has been here for a long time, and she has basically witnessed Alan's amazing climbing behavior, and she still hasn't come out of her surprise. It's just the lessons learned over the years that she knows what to say to minimize the next disaster.

Secretly following the second brother will definitely be severely criticized.

This idea has long been ingrained, but today, she is afraid that she will "miscalculate".

Alan just shook his head, then stepped forward and pulled Ellie up, and after helping her pat the dust off her body, he rolled his eyes and said, "I haven't done anything unsightly here, are you just hiding." ”

"What?" Ellie blinked her sky-blue eyes and looked at Alan in disbelief.

Alan didn't pay attention to Ellie's expression, but directly took her tender little hand, walked home, and asked as he walked, "What's the matter with me?" ”

"I'm fine." Ellie looked up at Ellen, "It's just that Grandpa Sidney is looking for you." ”

"What!?"

Alan stopped and looked down at his sister: "Why didn't you say it earlier?" ”

"I've just arrived, so why did you say it earlier." Before Ellie finished speaking, she found that Alan had left her and ran away quickly, and couldn't help but pout, muttering in a low voice, "And Grandpa Sidney is not in a hurry, so he doesn't need to say it earlier." ”
