Looking at the dazzling array of gold coins and crystals, Rebecca, Amber, and the Byron Knight unsurprisingly fell into a stupor.

Byron had also seen the so-called treasures in the mountains when he was a mercenary, but those dull and dusty antiques were not at all the same order of magnitude as the military materials protected by runes in front of him; Rebecca, as a declining nobleman in the countryside, did not see as many treasures in the castle in her life as she did in the warehouse in front of her; Not to mention Amber, who, for the first time as a dedicated thief, felt that it might be difficult for her to empty the place......

Of course, in addition to being sluggish, they will inevitably have a layer of curiosity, because many of the things in front of them are the standard equipment of the Gondor period, and most of these things rely on the advanced magic technology of the Gondor Empire, so after the establishment of Ansu, the pioneers brought this kind of equipment is basically one less bad one, and a lot of it runs out of energy when it is used, and today, the ancient weapons of Gondor have become something that is not even recorded in the history books in Ansu. The dazzling array of equipment in the warehouse was, of course, extremely foreign to them.

But it didn't matter to Miss Amber what it was - it was worth it anyway!

"Gondor Long Gold Coins...... Silver Coat of Arms...... There are also real clover coins! Oh, my God! Amber rushed to the box full of coins, and her head was almost buried in the pile of coins, "Money! It's all money! Got rich!! Boss, boss, we're getting rich!! ”

When you don't have money, you're old-fashioned, and when you have money, you're the boss, and this change in attitude is really worthy of the title of the shame of her elves.

Gawain reached out and pulled Amber out of the money pile, tugging at the back of her neck: "Calm down, calm down - this is my money, not yours!" ”

Amber looked righteous and awe-inspiring: "As your most loyal follower, this money is yours and mine!" ”

"These gold and silver coins are the lowest value things, and the crystals next to them are the real treasures," Gawain pouted, introducing these things that are completely foreign to the current generation, "The ones piled up outside the chest are crystal roughs, unprocessed magic substrates, Rebecca, you mages should know them - although they need to be processed before they can be used, they can definitely come in handy." The contents of the box are the standard military crystals of the Gondor period, which are very simple to use, and can increase the combat effectiveness of the soldiers in the territory for a long time. Those swords and armor are a nuisance...... I checked it just now, and the state is not very good, especially the magic power mechanism, which is almost scrapped, and it is not clear how much combat power it can exert now. ”

Although this treasure vault is set up with sealed runes that can slow down the oxidation and rust of the metal, the continuous collapse and energy escape process of the magic mechanism itself cannot be delayed, although they themselves have a long "shelf life", but in the face of a time span of seven hundred years, the shelf life is still limited - not only those weapons and armor, in fact, even the military crystals in several boxes have different degrees of energy escape, and now the energy contained in them is probably less than one-third of what it was when it "left the factory", And the failure rate of these old antiques is also a problem.

But for the Cecil family, who are now poor and white, it is still a staggering fortune.

So even though Gawain emphasized that these things were not in good shape, Rebecca and Amber's eyes were still straight.

"Such a huge fortune...... "Byron's knight felt his mouth dry a little, "and he has been lying so quietly on the border of the kingdom...... And no one knows about ......"

"In a way, I'd like to thank the Foggy Moon Civil Strife a hundred years ago," Gawain shook his head, "While the Moen family remembered this wealth, the Moen Tide stopped people from exploring this place, and when the Moen Tide subsided, the Moen family had broken off its inheritance. Alas, fate......"

Sighing at fate, what Gawain really lamented was this closed and backward feudal system - all wealth belongs to kings and lords, and the lifeblood of the country will also be in the hands of a few families in the form of private property.

If the Moen family had written down these treasures on paper and stored them in the archives, and the royal family was only responsible for keeping the keys, I am afraid that these treasures might not have been his turn to take them—the royal family, weakened by the civil strife in the Foggy Moon, would definitely have the idea of such things.

But how can I say it, isn't it the standard development of the so-called Middle Ages that such a treasure trove of family inheritance has been left in the mountains for various reasons?

Rebecca's gaze swept over the ancient equipment and crystals, and finally landed on a box of gold and silver coins, and she sighed: "With these, you can pay off Viscount Andrew's debts, and you can also buy food and stones......"

Gawain glanced at her and shook his head: "No, this money can't be spent directly. ”

"Huh?" Rebecca was stunned for a moment, but she was not really stupid, and quickly reacted, "Because these are antiques?" ”

"That's right, if you take a pile of Gondor gold and silver coins from seven hundred years ago and go shopping with someone, anyone with a hole in their brains will guess that the Cecil family has dug up a treasure in this dark mountain," Gawain nodded, "At least when we are not on the ground, these things cannot be exposed casually." ”

"What then?" Rebecca frowned, "We're short of money right now......"

"It's very simple, even if you change your appearance, gold is still gold, and silver is still silver, thanks to this era of precious metal trading," Gawain smiled brightly, but the words he said made Amber's heart twitch next to him, "Melt these things!" ”

"Oh my god!!" Miss Half-Elf almost jumped up, "You know what you're talking about!" Melted?! These are ancient gold and silver coins from 700 years ago! You just run to the black market as an antique and resell it is more reliable than melting! ”

"Seven hundred years old ancient gold and silver coins, and they are preserved as new, and more importantly, many of them are still ancient imperial coins that have been completely lost and can only be seen in books," Gawain looked at Amber, showing the same gentle eyes as he usually looked at Rebecca, "It's okay for you to resell one or two, you can sell all six boxes for me?" If you come back alive, I'll give you a box! ”

Amber gritted her teeth, trying to pick up a box and run, but when she looked at Gawain's arms, which were thicker than her thighs, she was stunned to suppress the bold and unbeaten thoughts in her heart.

But she still wanted to struggle: "Then you can't melt it all up...... It's too wasteful......"

"Of course it's only a part of it," Gawain spread his hand, "I'll feel distressed if I really melt all these antiques, won't I?" Re-mint some of the money to solve the immediate need, and seal the rest to see when it will come in handy. ”

Amber's expression relaxed, and Gawain looked at Rebecca with a smile: "Now you know why I specifically declared that I wanted to retain my status as Duke of Cecil in Silver Castle that day, right?" ”

Rebecca blinked, "Huh? ”

"Stupid! The duke has the right to mint money! Amber glared, then turned to Gawain, "So you had the idea of melting up the antiques here, right?!" ”

"So to speak," Gawain admits without pressure, "I am now an unprecedented, unreal duke, with zero territory for the time being, and I have to reclaim it myself, but even if I don't have a territory, the privileges that come with being a duke are de jure 'natural,' and the right to mint money is just one of them." ”

Amber puffed out his eyes and looked at Gawain, and finally could only sigh: "It's still you ancient nobles who can play—now those dirt bun nobles who only know how to dig pits in their territories and extort tolls for merchants are really incomparable to you." ”

To this, Gawain's answer was only one sentence: "Let's take a long-term view, even this entire treasure house is not worth mentioning compared to the future." ”

He then instructed Byron and Rebecca to pack some crystals and coins each, and to leave the place first.

The treasury is already in hand, but there is no way to put everything here to good use right now, first to set up the camp below, and then to transport the contents of the treasury – most importantly weapons and equipment – to the camp in batches by trustworthy soldiers. At the same time, he also has to arrange guards for the treasure house, although there is the magic gate here to protect it, but since he has arrived here, he can't continue to leave the treasure house unattended in the mountains.

And the ancient warrior outside the ruins is to be reburied - a pile of rubble that is not a good grave, and now that people from the civilized world have returned to this land, the warriors who died in battle should be properly buried.

After resealing the vault with a platinum disc, Gawain and his party left the place.

The camp near the river beach is still being set up intensely, but it is nearing completion.

The two knights, Byron and Philip, purchased a large number of tents in Tanzania - in fact, they were just canvas and wood needed to build the tents, and when they arrived at the place, they needed to be processed on site before they could become temporary tents, but the first people of the advance team were skilled craftsmen, and the speed of setting up the tents was also very fast, and there were some auxiliary spells to help Hetty, and the camp was already beginning to scale at this moment.

According to the plan left by Gawain in advance, all the tents were built on the south side of the Baishui River, roughly forming a fan shape, and important materials such as grain and iron tools were stacked in the center of the camp, while the prefabricated timber brought was stacked on the bank of the river, and the carts and caravans used for transportation were piled up around the camp after being empty, acting as a temporary barrier before the wall was built - although the magic tide has subsided, this is a barren mountain and wild mountain where civilization has been cut off, who knows what fierce beasts will come out?

At the tent in the middle of the camp, Gawain found Hetty, who looked tired.

It is believed that those ancient crystals can lift the spirits of this tired lady.
