This is Mogan's treasure trove and his greatest secret.

Under the light of candlelight, the box full of gold coins is so dazzling that it can almost blind the human eye.

Mogan checked the quantity and weight, made sure there was no change, and closed the lid.

The treasures in the chest were all the savings he had gradually acquired over the past five years.

Making money out of money is an ability engraved in Mogan's bones, and as a half-dragon who can do magic, he does not lack the strength to solve pretenders and obstacles. Because of this, the transactions and investments made during the five years of leisure allowed Mogan to accumulate a large amount of money.

Such a box of treasures is enough for an ordinary person or even an entire family to have a lifetime of glory and wealth, food and clothing. But the problem is that this level of wealth alone is not better than nothing for Mogan, but it is not enough, or far from enough.

In addition, a single gold coin made Mogan love not only because of its beautiful shape or color, but also because of the value it contains. But when one becomes two, three, or even a whole box, the joy he hides in his heart gradually deteriorates, and simple love cannot hide the worry in his heart.

Mogan's calmness stems from desire. He doesn't want to lose a big result of a small loss, so he forces himself to maintain the most rational state at all times, and although he occasionally loses control, he can also recover as quickly as possible, so that the risk is minimized.

But as his possessions gradually accumulated, Mogan could no longer carry all his possessions with him, and they became a burden.

Like many other dragons who cherish treasure, Mogan needed a treasure trove.

But as a merchant who needs to walk around, he can't just dig a cave on the spot, and then guard his treasure gold coins anytime and anywhere, show his minions to all the pretenders, and spread a "dragon legend" that guards the treasure. It is precisely because of this that he needs absolute secrecy and the help of a moderate amount of magic to achieve his phased goals.

The natural environment, the degree of concealment, and the precautions of the site are all important.

In order to establish a flawless base, Mogan repeatedly sifted through the small town of Windsor as a usable place to live, and chose this place that was not far away. He worked on the prototype of the dragon for several days, hollowing out almost the entire mountain bag and burying the earth and rocks between the mountains and the sea where they were not easy to find, leaving only the calculated thickness of the mountain rock that could bear the load and withstand natural disasters.

Later, through the records in some magic books, he also prepared the corresponding materials.

Mo Gan first took out two refined black tree stumps, and at the same time returned to the door again with a jar of cold branch grass potion.

With the spell cast, the two black stumps were buried in the dirt at the entrance of the cave. And before finishing the day, and covering the last spectacle of dirt with his magic, Mogan opened the potion jar of the special potion that contained the Coldbranch Herb.

He divided a spoonful of potion into two streams, and by the bright moonlight, each directed to the top of the black stump.

What really makes the fusion of two materials, black horn and ebony, which have no basic properties in common, is the soft and catalytic moonlight, which can be done by waiting long enough or injecting enough magic at once.

However, there is no spare time for fusing the Coldwig Grass Potion, just because the potion itself needs to be stored in the potion jar, and the magic can easily be lost naturally. To achieve the goal, we can only rely on the blessing of the effect of the full moon on the spot to carry out rapid refining and fusion.

The Coldwig Potion that was tried this time did not solve the fundamental problem, but it was slightly different from when Lucifer was asked.

Although there is no difference in the quality of the ingredients, this time the mixture not only contains the basic recipe of Coldwood and Licorice Liquid, but also adds the results of Mogan's efforts to ask Aunt Sierra for petals for several days, and the additional magic applied is also differentiated.

Mogan used the magic spells mentioned in the book to preserve the essential oils and activities of ordinary flower petals during the extraction process. This changed when a large amount of this active substance was mixed with the Coldwig Herb potion and diluted it. The original sensitive reaction of the Coldwig Potion no longer indiscriminately conveys signals of magical fluctuations, but instead confines the effect to plants on a large scale.

At the same time, the ordinary plant breath mixed in can also greatly prevent the special breath of fluctuation and will not attract the attention of others.

In addition, what Mogan added in advance to the cold branch grass potion this time is precisely the "counterspell" of blood magic.

In other words, contrary to the situation where the Coldwig Potion is triggered when someone else comes, Mogan's blood now causes abnormal magic fluctuations, and does not cause any changes when someone else arrives.

Mogan took out a few more sets of materials from the cave and looked around.

Based on what he saw before takeoff, he quickly determined that there was no problem with the path he had chosen. Taking off again, Mogan landed in various locations to repeat the previous process, expertly burying the black tree stump and the special Coldwig Herb potion throughout the valley.

It takes the longest time to get it done, but Mogan has rehearsed it, and it's fast.

Finally, he took out the most expensive part of the process.

A total of thirty Grade Stone Spirits, the market price is usually ninety gold coins.

Mogan began planning to build such a base a year ago, and the site was selected a few months ago.

In order to prevent future troubles and ensure that the fact that he had collected such precious materials in large quantities was not known, he bought one, two, or three pieces in the major bazaars, and collected them together in bits and pieces to make up the current scale.

The three pieces taken out of his bosom came from the Pandora Bazaar, while the rest were simply hastily buried at the cave entrance.

Picking up one of the egg-sized, mediocre pebble-like stones, Mogan tentatively injected a little magic and picked through them, finally holding five super-grade stone spirits in each of his hands.

Standing at the doordoor for only a moment, strange ripples appeared on the edge of the originally dark hole. It's as if the corners of ordinary stones have suddenly been turned into liquid by magic, but there is no effect on the vicinity. Immediately afterward, several stone spirits in Mogan's hand also seemed to be quenched into a layer of coating, mixed with each other and melted into a light-colored liquid light cluster, and then pushed into the tightness.

Mogan took a few steps back, watching the hole slowly "heal" like a wound, and his hands were immediately closed after the stone wall healed.

In an instant, all the stone spirits seemed to be drained of their strength, turned into sparse powder and drained between their fingers, and some of the fallen on the ground instantly disappeared into the soil, no longer distinguishable from ordinary land.

And Mogan still has most of it in his hands.

He picked up another stone spirit and knocked on the place where it was supposed to be the entrance of the cave, making a crashing sound similar to that of a normal stone collision.

However, when the stone spirit is placed on top of the powder, the powder is mixed with the new stone spirit, and the surface of the stone spirit is activated as if it is "waste", and the color gradually darkens as a small amount of stone powder is consumed, and it does not even need to be accompanied by any superfluous magic.

Mogan then held the mutated stone spirit and stretched out to the entrance of the cave, but there was no hindrance.

This is the "key" that is made.

The inspection found that the process was very smooth, and Mogan first gathered the remaining powder in his hand and put it into a pre-prepared anti-magic storage bottle. Now the special stone spirit that has been activated is the key to the cave, which can help living creatures enter the stone spirit door at the entrance of the cave that is not only invisible, but also indistinguishable from the rock. And the presence of these powders can make more similar things.

After pondering for a moment, Mogan first walked into the stone spirit door, and by the light of the candle that was still shining on the side, he placed a piece of special stone spirit near the treasure chest, and then divided a part of the powder, and poured it into one of the potion storage jars that had been emptied of the same anti-magic material, and marked it on the mouth of the bottle by the way.

The special stone spirit itself can enter and exit the stone gate freely, but people cannot. This preparation is mainly to prevent yourself from entering the door and accidentally throwing the "key" out. Although the fake stone door and the real stone wall could be easily broken by him, the materials needed to repair it were too expensive, and Mogan didn't want to take even the slightest risk of it.

In addition to picking out another piece of material that could be used as a "spare key", the remaining dozen or so super-grade stone spirits were buried by Mogan in four parts of the valley. Each stone spirit is very expensive, and he is naturally very particular, according to the mountain topography and vegetation division, so that the stone essence and the previous black tree stump are evenly divided, and the breath and power of plants and minerals are balanced and offset each other, and no flaws can be left.

The roots of natural magic are checks and balances, and Mogan was taught this common sense when he first came into this world.

There is a unique balance in any natural system, and those who are good at natural magic can clearly perceive the differences. Because of this, although Mogan was not proficient in natural magic, he wanted to be as close to this outcome as possible, without leaving too obvious precautions that would be easily detected by experienced treasure hunters.

In order to achieve the purpose of disguise, the stone spirit gate created by the super-grade stone spirit is of perfect appearance, but the flaw is that the power of this natural origin contains extremely strong magical power, which is difficult to ignore anywhere.

For this reason, in order for this mana to be fully neutralized, it is necessary to have the right magical creatures - in addition to some harmless native plant species, plant-based potions and animal-derived materials "Ink Horn" are also viable balancing materials.

In the face of the need to "hide in the woods", the power of the rocks cannot be concentrated in just one place, otherwise it will be easy to identify suspicious sites once they are discovered—even if they have already exhausted most of their power on mimicry.

With such a lot of effort, as early as the choice of this cave to be hollowed out, Mogan had already made clear his ultimate goal.

Mogan didn't just have to accumulate and protect boxes of gold and other wealth.

Maybe others don't think so, but in Mogan's view, the first five years of making money were too slow, lacking efficiency and scale.

Because of this, he has already set his sights on some people who can be exploited, because only a large enough amount of money can allow him to earn money at a rate that he is satisfied with.

In order to achieve this goal, Mogan Grande's real plan has only just begun. If he wants to fill this warehouse that he has painstakingly dug, Mogan naturally does not want to wait until tens or hundreds of years later. Taking a long-term view is his style, but not his goal.

Greed never ends, and the "best" period that Mogan has in mind will only be today, now, now, right now.
