Chapter 178: The Divine Dragon
There are a lot of annotations in the book "Travels to the Eastern Continent" in Rossi's hand, and it is obvious that Heinse has read this book very seriously. He underlined some questionable points and cast his own doubts.
For example, his description of the culture of "martial arts", in Lu Ken's book, "martial arts" is a group between knights and samurai, who are very different from the values of knights on the Western continent, and they are more advocating freedom and killing. When you encounter anything that you don't like, you will draw your weapon and slash at the other person.
There is a line in Heinsse's essay that questions the social system of the Eastern continent. Such chaotic and independent behavior will bring great distress to those in power.
Another example is "Dao", which is a kind of pursuit of immortality, a bit like the early god-seeking behavior in the Western continent, where people hope to obtain the qualification for eternal life by finding gods on the continent and becoming divine envoys.
This has proven to be a foolish fantasy that there should be no god in this world, and there should be no such thing as immortality.
So Heinsys wrote down the word foolishness.
The book is full of doubts about Lüken's travels, which is also the mainstream thought of Lüken after returning to the Western continent to publish the book. Everyone thought he was a liar, a thief, who told a shocking lie in an exaggerated and comical way, and then cheated him out of enough money.
Rosie, on the other hand, thought that Luken must have been to the East. On the earth before he traveled, the "Tao" and "martial arts" culture had always been circulating in the East, whether it was China, or small Japan, or sticks, or even countless small states around it, this culture existed.
He put the book away, feeling that he should talk to Lu Ken when he had time, because the Eastern continent he had visited made Rosie feel a sense of intimacy. It's like being alone in a foreign land and suddenly hearing about something back home.
He didn't want to go to the East, and he couldn't. According to Lucken, there is a voyage of more than two years between the two continents, and there are also various terrifying special ocean climates. He won't take his life for a long time, unless he has a stable course. Of course, this is absolutely impossible in the short term, at least not for now. People love porcelain and silk, but that doesn't mean they have to put their lives on the testimony of what their predecessors have confirmed with death.
The butler, under Hano's watch, pushed several books on the shelves, and the sound of chains clanging with the sound of heavy objects being pulled filled the entire study.
Rossi followed the voice, and the downward entrance of a black hole appeared behind the bookcase that had been removed. Rosie recalls with interest the structure of the building, which, according to his memory, was facing the staircase, which meant that the staircase had been hollowed out.
Very thoughtful design.
The butler walked in the front, Hano in the last, and Rossi in the middle.
There were no arrows in unison, no huge stone balls rolling around, and there was not even a rotten and dull air in the entire secret passage. The constant appearance of ventilation holes keeps the passage fresh and dry, and there is not much dust on either side of the passage.
At the end, I almost descended to a height of about three to four floors, and finally arrived at Heinse's collection room.
The lights in the collection room are turned on, and the light spills over the entire space, illuminating everything.
Hano's gaping mouth couldn't close, and he stared at the glittering chamber in amazement.
Seventy or eighty square meters, half of the space is stacked with gems that have reached the top and are nearly four meters high, and the other half is a neat lattice full of various precious works of art and collections.
Rossi walked up to these Heinsys collections and glanced at them casually, and couldn't help but sigh, this is only the collection room of Heinsy's imperial capital manor, but it is enough to reflect how much wealth this family has plundered in the 1,700 years of the Turman Empire.
Yes, this is only part of the Heinsys family collection, and in the Heinsis family fiefdom there are at least three or four, larger than the collection room here. Of course, those are Fabio's trophies, which is one of the reasons why he did not hesitate to hand over the plundering of wealth to vested interests without reservation! Everyone only got a part, and the real big head was actually still in Fabio's hands, not to mention that he himself copied a royal family that ruled the Turman Empire for 1,700 years, and that was the truly amazing wealth.
Compared to Fabio's profits, Rossi and others gained only a small amount of money.
"This is the Dragonslayer's Shield, which is polished from the skull of an adult black dragon, and has extremely powerful anti-magic and anti-object attribute ......", the butler is very familiar with the situation, and he often goes down with Heinse to take a spin.
The housekeepers of the nobles are basically family children, and they are the kind of family children who have a relationship of more than ten generations. As soon as they are born, they will be raised by the side of the heirs, and they will live together from childhood to adulthood, and they will be closer to the nobility than their families, and they will be more reliable. Many times, the nobles never hide their secrets from their butlers, and even take the initiative to share their secrets with the butlers.
"This is the Scepter of Silanene, the scept......er of the Nineteenth Pope Helene. ”
Rosie picked up the scepter that the butler had said the Pope had used from the shelf and placed it in front of him. The cold scepter is made of a metal that Rosie has never seen, a bit like gold, but it is more restrained than the flamboyance of gold, and it has a touch of dignity more than platinum, and the feel in the hand is excellent, but after a while, I don't feel any cold texture, but it seems to be holding a piece of warm jade.
The scepter is inlaid with a number of silvery-white goose egg-shaped gemstones, which are extremely low in production and have almost completely become extinct. This gem can store holy power, and the large one can even store a divine spell for a short time. The size of a fist bitten at the top of the scepter, a red stone with no rules, filled with a noble aura, this is a very special gem. It is made from the hearts of freshly hatched dragons and is priceless.
Rosie put it back on the shelf, these are mine, he nodded.
The same collection that shocked the world gradually appeared in front of Rossi's eyes, and he was very satisfied with Fabio's support and attitude towards Tai, and gave him the fattest aristocratic property in the imperial capital.
Eventually, he saw a coin encased in a crystal.
"It's a lucky coin....... ”
Rosie interrupted the butler's introduction with a raised hand, he took the crystal and squeezed it hard, and in the butler's painful expression, the crystal cracked into several pieces. He pulled out one of the coins and stuffed it into his arms, and the fifth.
There are still two left, and you can summon the dragon.
It is said that after collecting seven pieces, you can reveal a big secret.
Rosie didn't care about this matter before, but at this time, he had other ideas.
There are still two left, and in this world full of mysteries, maybe there is something really famous.
After coming out of the collection room, Rossi was satisfied, which was a great help for his next big move.
Fabio has confirmed that he will be canonized as the national teacher and the Holy Light Church as the state religion. The Holy Light Church is about to usher in a period of great development, and these funds come at a good time. In Rossi's vision, he planned to rebuild the holy city of the Vatican and move the headquarters of the Holy Light Church to the Vatican. Rebuilding a city requires an untold amount of money, and even the smallest city needs astronomical sums of money to support it.
And the church needs to grow, it needs to hire people, it needs to carry out missionary work and build churches all over the country, and these are all money.
Coming out of the manor and looking back at the magnificent building, Rosie hooked his fingers, and Hano nodded and ran over,
"Bulldozing, rebuilding, I need a cathedral more solemn than the Imperial Cathedral as my abode. You go to the best designer, the best architect, and report me the budget. He glanced at the joyful Hano, "Find a reliable carver, we need a bigger idol." ”
A faint look flashed in Hano's eyes, and he nodded fiercely.
