Chapter 1243: I'm Really Not Interested in Money
Sue received Jasmine's look, nodded, and walked to the front of a box.
The hand slowly raised, and a miniature gray wind blade condensed, sliding gently over the lock of the box, and with a "click", the lock on the box was cut.
With a "squeak", Su opened the box, and colorful light was suddenly released inside. Everyone couldn't help but look at it, and after seeing the contents of the box, they couldn't help but breathe.
I saw that it was full of jewels, with fist-sized gemstones, precious spider silk crystals, and rare colored diamonds......
To put it simply, there's lots and lots of money in it.
Richard looked at it, his expression visibly stunned, and then turned his head to look at the rest of the boxes.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak......"
Su had already opened the rest of the boxes in due course, and the contents were all similar, maybe the specific contents were not exactly the same, but they were indeed jewelry that could be sold at a very high price.
The slightly curious light in Richard's eyes flickered and suddenly became disillusioned. A pair of eyes dimmed, and the expression of the whole person converged, and he pursed his mouth, not knowing what to say.
Jasmine kept paying attention to Richard with her eyes, and when she noticed Richard's appearance, she turned her head in surprise and asked, "Are you...... A little disappointed?"
"This ......," Richard hesitated for a moment, and sighed lightly, "a little disappointed, to be precise, surprised." I thought it was something else, I really didn't think it would be jewelry, but when I think about it, it makes senseβwell, unexpected, and reasonable. β
It was indeed unexpected and reasonable.
From the beginning of exploring the ruins, he guessed that Jasmine's goal would be anything - it could be a powerful spell item, more powerful than an energy furnace, it could be some terrifying spell that could destroy all enemies in its path, never expecting it to be a pile of jewels, a pile of jewels that sell for money.
But calm down and think about it, it's actually reasonable.
Spell items that are more powerful than the energy furnace, and the spells that destroy everything are certainly desirable, but if Jasmine wants to successfully restore and regain the throne of the Sika Kingdom, she can't rely on pure force alone. Even if it can be recaptured, it will not be able to maintain stability. In order to truly regain the throne and restore success, she needs many, many people to support her. And in this process, money may not be the most important, but it is the most indispensable.
Without money, the people who rallied around her would not be able to do all kinds of things smoothly, and they would be frustrated everywhere at the beginning of the restoration.
Jasmine should understand this truth, and will try to obtain an amazing fortune from the ruins through intelligence, as military expenses, and start the road to the second restoration.
That's it...... It doesn't make much sense to him.
After all, he's not short of money!
The last thing he lacks is money!
He's really not interested in money!
"Ahh
Richard exhaled and couldn't help but shake his head.
Jasmine looked at Richard, puzzled by Richard's reaction, and wondered why she was disappointed to see a pile of jewels.
He opened his mouth and thought for a while: "No matter what you think, according to our previous agreement, half of the jewelry here is yours, and you can choose first." Once we've chosen, the rest is ours. β
Jasmine's words came out, and Jasmine's subordinates looked at Richard silently, becoming a little wary.
They weren't sure if Richard was showing no interest in jewelry, real or disguised. But they've all seen beings who are blinded by money, whether it's an ordinary person or a powerful wizard.
Therefore, they were very afraid, and Richard had a thought, and suddenly he was greedy, and wanted to swallow all the jewels.
In fact, according to the strength of Richard's current four energy furnaces, they really didn't have much ability to resist.
Therefore, they must be vigilant, wary of Richard's sudden killer, so that they don't know how to die.
Richard didn't do that, though.
After listening to Jasmine's words, Richard glanced at all the opened boxes, looked at Jasmine, shook his head, and said, "Forget it, I don't want to give it to youβdon't be embarrassed, just let me invest in you." β
"You really don't want it?" Jasmine was surprised and frowned at and asked, "You should know that the things here can be exchanged for amazing wealth, right? β
"Of course I do. Richard said, his face extremely calm, "Still, I'm not short of money - I have money." β
"It's different. β
"How is it different?"
"That's a lot of money. β
"Actually, I have more money than you can estimate. β
"Uh, this ......"
"Alright, you all take it. Richard waved his hand, and said uninterestedly, "If it's not enough, you can borrow it from me, and it will be an additional investment in you...... But at that time, I hope you can bring me a plan and let me see the value of the investment......"
The first half of Richard's sentence made Jasmine and her party understand, but the second half of the sentence was a little confused.
Richard didn't explain much, waved his hand again, and said, "You guys are here, let's count your earnings, I'll go outside first and see what else is in this ruin." β
After speaking, under the gaze of Jasmine and her party, Richard walked through the entire palace and walked out.
......
Walking to the area behind the palace, Richard saw that here, the ruins seemed to have come to an end, and the entrance was a tall stone wall, like a wall in front of it.
In the middle of the stone wall, there is a dark blue gate, ten meters high and more than ten meters wide, with some lines carved on the surface, like words, but it is unrecognizable.
This is what Jasmine calls the entrance to the second half of the ruins...... Richard conjecture.
He did not enter rashly, but carefully observed the vicinity of the door for a while, thinking about what danger would be in the door and how he could deal with it.
After more than ten minutes, there were footsteps behind him, and when I looked back, it was Jasmine and her party.
When Richard saw it, he chuckled: "I thought you would choose to forget the promise to help me explore the second half of the ruins." β
"If you can keep your promise, we can keep it. Jasmine replied with a serious face.
"Besides. Sue suddenly interjected, and said with some poisonous tongue, "In this situation, we can't help you, after all, Hulk's energy furnace can't be restarted in a short time, and without you, we can only stay on the other side of the river, and we can't return with the jewels." β
"Okay. Richard shrugged, "Then before exploring, let me state that I have given you all the benefits of the first half of the ruins exploration, and the second half of the income belongs to me, right?"
"No problem. Jasmine nodded, "But I would also like to state that according to what you said, once we think there is an unavoidable danger, we can voluntarily withdraw and stay outside this door waiting for you to return." β
"Okay. Richard nodded and asked, "So, what information do you have to offer about this door?"
"Actually, there is no intelligence. Jasmine shook her head, "Don't get me wrong, the information in my hand has ended in this hall, and even the hall is vaguely mentioned, and the specific information is no longer in the water." The only intelligence connection about the inside of the door is a vague warning, let's enter with caution, because if we make a mistake, we may never get out. β
"Well, it seems that there is some danger in there, so let me see what it is. Richard said. The four energy furnaces in the body, which had stopped running, suddenly activated, releasing dazzling light, generating a protective energy film, striding to the door, and pushing the door open hard.
"Click!"
Then, the moment the door was pushed open, a tide of white light spread out from inside the door, instantly engulfing everyone outside the door.
......
