Chapter Ninety-Six: Thieves and Treasures

"What kind of place is this......" Song Zheng, who was full of nervousness, looked around carefully.

The new underground passage looked sturdy, the sewer next to it had long since collapsed, and only a little dust had fallen from the top of the head in this passage.

Taresa was also shocked, but she could only hold on to the corners of Song Zheng's clothes tightly in the dark.

The front of the passage looked quite long, and I don't know if it was dangerous, but now that the sewer behind it had collapsed, the two had to leave here.

Song Zheng had to move forward extra carefully, and in the darkness, he didn't know how far he had walked, and a relatively large underground hall appeared in front of him, which seemed to be stacked with a lot of things.

"It's a box...... Song Zheng's night vision ability is good, and then he casually touched the iron lock on the box, and under the 'lock-picking' skill, the iron lock has been opened.

As soon as he grabbed a handful of the box, he immediately felt his heart speed up instantly.

"It's all gold?!" Song Zheng could hardly contain the excitement in his heart...... Even in the dark, the golden glow reflected off the coins could be faintly seen.

"I know what this place is, this is Edras Blackmore's treasure room! I didn't expect us to be here through the sewers......" Taresa said in surprise.

"Treasure Room?!" Song Zheng couldn't help but frown when he heard this.

The name alone makes your heart beat wildly!

However, Edras Blackmore was clearly not in style, and the secret room was full of gold coins, and boxes were stacked on top of each other in the underground hall.

"Damn the nouveau riche, can't you have a little noble pursuit, how good it would be to get some priceless gems or antiques." Song Zheng muttered rather depressedly.

On a normal day, it would be nice to pick up a gold coin on the side of the road, but now that you are in a treasure trove, these gold coins are too frustrating...... Even if he risked his life for money, with his weight-bearing capacity, he could only take one box with him at most.

"Even if there are no priceless antiques, some ordinary gems are better than gold coins......" Song Zheng opened more than a dozen boxes in a row, only to be disappointed to find that they were full of glittering gold coins.

"If you're looking for something important, I remember that Edras Blackmore used to have some title deeds, and he should have hidden them here." Taresa said that she clearly knew something about Edres Blackmore.

Song Zheng couldn't help but move in his heart when he heard this, and hurriedly searched carefully.

With the thief's characteristic night vision and unique sense of wealth, he soon found a slightly smaller bronze chest in the pile of gold coins.

When he opened the bronze box, he saw that it was full of neatly folded contracts.

Lordan Rembrill ...... A thousand acres? When he saw the first land deed, the corners of Song Zheng's eyes jumped.

This title deed alone is estimated to be worth several large boxes of gold coins!

He casually flipped through a few more title deeds.

"Andohar ...... Stratholme ...... Night Town? This guy bought land over there in Stormwind? There is even a title deed on the dwarf's side...... "Song Zheng flipped through the thick title deed, he was completely speechless, it seems that Edreas Blackmore has saved a lot of money in Dunhold over the years, and he actually went everywhere to buy land.

There are at least nearly 100 of these thick stacks of land deeds in his hands, and if they are taken together, they are estimated to be comparable to a small kingdom.

"This time it's developed......" Song Zheng's fingers were trembling slightly.

Usually that kind of petty theft can really only live a life of food and clothing, and only an action like this to loot a treasure house can really make a fortune.

"Alright, it's time for us to leave, the shaking outside is almost gone, and I guess the battle is over." Song Zheng hurriedly stuffed the title deeds into his arms, and then said to Talesa.

When you go out, you can be regarded as a big landlord!

It's just that this Edras Blackmore has a good way of accumulating money, but his vision is problematic, like what Brill and Andorhar he invested in. Places like Stratholme will fall in the Scourge of the Dead, and even Nighttown, far away in Stormwind, will be in trouble.

At that time, it is estimated that only the territory on the dwarven side is relatively safe, but the Danmoro side is almost all snow-capped mountains, and it is estimated that the land there is not worth a few dollars.

"We must get rid of all these title deeds before the undead natural disaster breaks out......," Song Zheng secretly made up his mind.

At the other end of this underground hall is an equally solid underground corridor, looking at the terrain under your feet, it should be all the way up, and it is estimated that there is an exit ahead.

When Song Zheng took Talesa to the end of the corridor, he immediately noticed that there was a small staircase here, and above it was a wooden board that could be opened.

However, he was about to push the thick plank out of the way, when suddenly a very serious problem came to mind.

"This ...... Where is the exit to this treasure chamber? Song Zheng hurriedly turned his head to Taresa and asked.

"Looks like it's in Edras Blackmore's bedroom......"

"......" Song Zheng's hand on the wooden board immediately froze.

"You're saying we're right below that fortress right now?" Song Zheng was speechless about this.

It seems that the passage he stumbled upon next to the sewer was a secret tunnel used by Edlas Blackmore to escape from the castle where he lived, and that he had built a secret chamber where he hid his treasure, so that he could escape with something important in case of danger.

"Hmm...... Shall we go back down the drain first? Taresa was also a little worried, she obviously had a strong psychological shadow about Edras Blackmore.

"But it's blocked over there, and I can't get out at all." Song Zheng hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to go up first to see the situation.

When he carefully opened the wooden plank above his head, he found that he was indeed in a room.

This room was supposed to be very luxurious, but now it has collapsed in half, and you can even see the starry sky above you when you stand in this room.

"This ...... This...... Could it be that the whole castle has collapsed? Song Zheng suddenly felt a heartbeat, and hurriedly ran to the collapsed wall to check the situation.

As a result, he was stunned just by looking at it.

The battle outside is over.

Yet the whole of Dunhold was lit up like daylight in the fire! There's no one around!

"Orcs ruined this place? Wrong...... How can such a strong smell of sulfur resemble the smoke of gunpowder? Song Zheng sniffed, and the sulfur around him made him feel a little tight.
