Chapter 47 [Hot Goods in the Secret Room]

Got gunpowder by accident, what can this kind of thing do in this world?

Leading the era of cháo flow, pushing this era of cold weapons to the era of hot weapons in one breath?

Are you kidding!

Du Wei was not so stupid as to think that he could make some kind of hot weapon with gunpowder. First, what to do with weapons? Coup d'état to seize power? Fighting? Du Wei had no interest in this. Second, is it so easy to get hot weapons? Not to mention guns...... In the previous life, after the invention of gunpowder in China, it was only known that it was used in fireworks for n centuries.

Is it so easy to get a hot weapon? Whether it's a gun or a cannon, let alone an entire gun, Du Wei can't even get the simplest chamber.

What's more, this is a magical world! In this world, even if you have guns and cannons, you may not be as good as magic.

The simplest low-level mage, as long as he knows the flying spell of the wind system, will use the simplest fireball spell......

As long as such a low-level magician flies up and throws fireballs down, it can basically be seen as a humanoid Apache gunship!

In this case, you use a little gunpowder and crude technology to make a few earthen cannons...... Is there an advantage?

What to do with gunpowder?

Du Wei's idea is very simple: make money!

Dewey, who is getting more and more accustomed to this world, after almost mischievously making out the McDonald's fleet and the Black Pearl, Captain Jack Sparrow...... Gradually, he began to take the initiative to take some interest in the world.

Some extra-magical interests.

Since you can't go back anyway...... So, let's have to play some tricks.

Even the servants of the demons with great powers could not send him back, and Du Wei basically gave up. And Du Wei, who let go of his heart...... Once the psychology of the prank in the heart unfolds, it is difficult to estimate what kind of waves it can set off in the end.

For now, at least, he was full of ideas that would scare the poor old butler out of his mind.

Back at the castle, Du Wei summoned his most important servant, Made. When Made, who was in charge of Du Wei's small private vault, was kicked out of the dìdū, the 1,000 gold coins that the Countess had privately given were still in the servant's hands.

"How much money do we have?" asked Du Wei very simply.

Made's reply was quick: "Eight hundred and ninety-two gold coins." After a pause, the faithful servant added: "Because the little building you built and the things you bought, you have already advanced your pocket money for several months, but since this month your pocket money has been stopped, so we have to pay the difference out of our own pockets." ”

There was a bit of resentment in Made's voice, mainly directed at the old butler Hill. It seems that the former groom was a little uncomfortable by the old butler.

"And we can't expect to get a copper plate from the butler for a year. Du Wei sighed.

"Isn't it!" Mader was a little depressed: "Young Master, I think you should think of a way...... Lord Earl has been too you. After all, you are still a child, and you cannot be blamed for this incident. Do you want to be hijacked yourself? I have a ...... of attention."

"What?"

Made's eyes rolled and he whispered, "Two months later, it's the Countess's birth." If you return to the dìdū with a gift at that time, write a letter to beg Madame, as long as Madame helps you to intercede with the Earl...... Perhaps, your ban will be lifted early. ”

Du Wei nodded, "Good attention, dear Made. is a good idea. Even if I don't intercede, my mother's birth, I should have to express it...... It's just that with more than 800 gold coins, what kind of gift can you buy?"

Mader was speechless. This is far beyond the scope of the former groom's ability to think.

Du Wei didn't intend to let this groom continue to contribute wisdom, he patted Made's shoulder: "Okay, I have my own idea, but thank you for the reminder, now I need you to help me do something." ”

Du Wei quickly made a list and handed it to Made.

"Everything on the list helped me get it back...... In addition, there are these craftsmen that I wrote about above, which I need. ”

After Made's list was taken, he glanced at it, and after a silent calculation in his heart, his eyes were about to fall: "Young Master...... If you buy all these things back and hire these craftsmen...... We're afraid we don't have much money left......"

In fact, what Mader said was already very conservative, in fact, what he wanted to say was, "I'm afraid there won't be a single copper plate left!"

Du Wei smiled confidently: "Made, do as I say, don't worry, we will be very rich in the future, we will be very, very rich......!" I have a large sum of money out there and I can't count on it for two months. However, my mother's birth was two months later, so I had to find a way to come out. Alright, go for it!"

If you can wait three months, the McDonald's fleet pirate plan is completed, and you will be able to increase a large number of gold coins.

But right now, I don't have any cash in my hand!

As for the secret room under the study...... Du Wei had already gone in and seen it last night.

Guess what's inside?

It's not gold, it's not precious stones...... It's something that makes Du Wei dizzy when he looks at it! These things are undoubtedly very valuable. But...... It's hard to sell it for a while.

For example, a pair of samurai armor sewn from more than 300 fine gemstones and perforated with gold thread! This kind of thing has no value in actual combat, but as a work of art, it is invaluable!

This kind of thing may not be sold in those small cities on the Rollin Plain, and you can only find buyers in big cities like Port Walker or Dìdū.

Of course, if Du Wei really needed money, he could sell it by dismantling it and removing a small piece of gem. But in that case, he would have destroyed a work of art of astonishing value! Of course, Du Wei would not have done such a loss-making foolish thing.

Another example is a ceremonial crown carved from a complete piece of the finest natural amethyst! It was four hundred years ago, at the height of the empire's power, His Majesty the Emperor gathered many skilled craftsmen to create it, and set twenty-nine fine magic gems on the crown, plus dissolved Mithril to make a thorn flower, and a prismatic large diamond inlaid on the petals!

This crown was not the first time Du Wei had seen it, he had seen a picture in a book before.

Legend has it that this priceless crown was a gift from His Majesty the Emperor at that time to the coronation of the new Pope of the Continent's Temple of Light!

It's a pity that in the later interracial war in the north of the continent, that is, in the continental war when the Rollin family rose and relied on war exploits to obtain the entire Rollin Plain as a fief in the war......

This tiara, which has been kept in the Temple of Light, has been mysteriously lost!

This incident was regarded by the Temple of Light as one of the greatest humiliations for hundreds of years! The crown of the Pope's coronation was lost! For hundreds of years, every pope succeeded to the throne as one of the wishes of the generations.

Let me ask, does Du Wei dare to take out such a thing and sell it for money?

I'm afraid that if I sell it on the first day, the knights of the temple will be killed on the second day!

In that secret room, there were a total of nineteen pieces of Semel's collection, each of which was worth hundreds of millions of dollars, but it was impossible to sell it!

In fact, when he saw such a room of hot goods last night, Du Wei was in reverie for a while...... What kind of woman was Semel back then?

Where did she get these things?!

However, when I asked the replica of Semel next to me, I didn't know anything. Because of her copied memory, there is no information on these things.

Therefore, although Du Wei got such nineteen priceless treasures, he was still worried about money in the short term.

He is not short of money, but of some emergency liquidity.

After judging it, the last more than 800 gold coins were purchased by Made. Then in the next three months, Du Wei, the eldest son of the dignified earl, and the eldest young master of the Luo Lin family, really didn't even have a copper plate in his pocket.

And after doing the math, the magic experiments in the back, the configuration of those magic potions, and the refining of those plants, these are all consumables that need to be constantly purchased and replenished.

How can we find a way to get one or two thousand gold coins in case of emergency?

Throughout the lunch time, Du Wei was thinking about ways to make money. Lunch was pretty good, with a few pieces of tender foie gras, golden bread baked, and a bowl of fragrant seafood soup...... Obviously, the old butler did not embarrass the young master except for the imposition of a grounding and economic blockade on Du Wei in strict accordance with the orders of the Earl. He is also quite attentive to the taste of his diet. The foie gras and seafood that Du Wei likes to eat are not bargains, but in the normal consumption of these frequent meals, the old housekeeper still does not dare to treat Du Wei harshly.

After lunch, Du Wei drank a little tea, there is no coffee in this world, but there is tea, but the habit of drinking tea is quite different from Du Wei's previous life, the aristocracy likes to put a little honey or gum in the tea...... There are also those with unique flavors that like to put a little wasabi or something like that.

Of course, the taste of tea in this world is also a little more brewy than that of the previous life.

After drinking a small cup of honey tea, Du Wei saw the old butler who came in a hurry.

The old butler Hill now has a great opinion of this young master! He actually destroyed an oil painting that had been treasured for two hundred years! God! Didn't he know that the oil painting was a portrait of the ancestors of the Rollin family! Didn't he know how many years that the oil painting had gone through?

He actually burned it!!

Hill, the old butler who was tasked with guarding the family property for the Rollin family's ancestral business, was very dissatisfied with this young master's ruinous behavior! He was ready to add such a stroke in the letter to Dìdū!

"Young Master, do you have any other orders?" The old butler's attitude was quite respectful, but his tone was a little cold.

"Isn't it, as long as I don't leave the castle and do something else here, right?" asked Du Wei.

“...... Yes. When the old butler replied, he inevitably felt a little uneasy in his heart...... What does this little master want to do?

"Very well, I need a maid who can do needlework. And also...... Lead my horse to the door. ”
