Section 97 The so-called Vault
"Liliana Lore."
The magic mirror coldly said a name.
"I don't think it'...... accurate," Annan remembered the name, "I'll give it a try, but I don't have much hope for the Secret in Starmoon Bay." β
Gema's hand holding the magic mirror became tighter and tighter, and she couldn't understand that this kind of fool was actually bullying herself......
"You just want to ask this?"
Annan thought for a moment and asked with anticipation: "What about the most beautiful woman in the world?" β
"That's enough." Gema put away the magic mirror with a blank face, "I've shown sincerity, what about yours?" β
"Let your magic mirror lead the way."
Ingrid opened the door and led Gemma and the old butler outside.
"Annan, we can keep ......it all to ourselves," whispered from the shadows.
Annan looked at Deella standing by the curtain in surprise: "How can you have such a dark idea?" β
"I ......"
When Dela's eyes dodged, Annan said, "The vault belongs to the entire North, not to me......"
The real reason behind these righteous words is that Annan has a way to make money, but it is better to be as far away as the vault is. That's a hot potato. If he is hidden here, he will give it to Lady Winter. If Lady Winter could not be contacted, she would be thrown to the royal family of Rikaner, and the royal family of Rikanr was indifferent and ran to the Council of the Holy Temple to donate it.
Give Annan ten years and he can achieve everything he wants. There is no need for a double-edged sword.
On the way to the "Buried Toilet", Gemma truly saw the prosperity of Starmoon Bay.
Merchants unloaded grain, ore, and household goods to load seafish, cotton yarn, and spinning machines, and the professions and inhabitants wandered the streets, some of them elves or dwarves.
There are no slums, and the clean streets are neither overflowing with sewage nor littered with poor people.
In contrast, Glacier Harbor is like a scorching place after being ravaged by the boiling fire elemental. Gema didn't even have an excuse to say that Annan had the support of the family and he didn'tβeveryone knew how poor the Reeves family was after they were traded for the lord of Breeze City, and how poor the team was after the nezumi attacked, and the family's territory was almost divided by the surrounding nobles.
When he came to the toilet, Gema frowned in the real sense of the word and covered her nose.
A few earth elementals and a few guards surrounded the restroom, and Tina held the Philosopher's Stone outside.
"What are you doing here?" Annan asked curiously.
"I'm working on the next news, it's already there!" How about the Lord of Starmoon Bay and the Lord of Glacier Harbor sharing the toilet? Tina, whose new profession is journalist, said.
"Ingrid, let the guards chase her away."
As the guards chased her away, Tina tiptoed up the philosopher's stone and shouted, "What about 'Annan Reeves and Gema Diatra having a private meeting in the toilet'!" β
"In Beta, such people are locked up in a dungeon." Gema said indifferently.
Annan thought to himself that he was familiar with the dungeon of Betal City as if he were at home: "Breeze City is not guilty of words. β
Gema was silent, and the old butler said, "My young master doesn't want this to appear in the magic newspaper......"
And Annan's reassurance didn't know whether to make him happy or not: "Don't worry, "Xingyue Bay News" has no time to publish this kind of scandal trivia. β
Stepping into the toilet, Gemma took out the magic mirror and asked again, "The magic mirror, where is the secret?" β
"Right at your feet." The cold answer drilled through the mirror.
"Let's get started."
Annan summoned large earth elementals, who manipulated them, and the solid cement and earth were reshaped like silt, turning into a spiral staircase leading to the ground.
Annan's attention is underground, and Gema's attention is on the large water element. Because he perceives that these water elements are not projections, they really exist in the main plane......
The Reeves family still hides an epic spellcaster?
"Annan...... You surprised me by allowing me to join......" Gema said.
"I talked to your father, Yodesa Diatra, and he told me ......" Annan cleared his throat and said in a low and serious voice: "Brother Annan, the twelve kings of the North are like the lords of the old days, competing with each other and cooperating with each other, and Gema is your junior. You won't hurt Gema, and Gema won't hurt you......"
Annan looked at Gema lovingly: "Got it?" The Twelve Kings of the North are branches of the same tree, and we can compete for the sun, but each time we hurt each other, the tree is weakened by a point. β
Gemma couldn't say anything in front of the truth.
It didn't take long for the echo of the earth elemental to cease to sound. When they returned to the ground, Annan asked, "Do you want to let your men go in first, or do you want to see for yourself?" β
"Young Master......"
Gema suddenly stepped down the steps, followed by the old butler, followed by Annan, Dela, and Ingrid.
The light on the ground faded away, and the oil lamp that was lifted lit up. More than a dozen meters deeper, they appeared in a dusty crypt
The glow of the oil lamps smeared outward, illuminating the dusty weapons and shields hanging from the walls. It's not like a hidden ...... Either it's just a clue or it has nothing to do with the Vault.
Gemma felt the same way, and he picked up the magic mirror: "The magic mirror, is it a vault?" β
"It's the Vault."
Gemma revisited the crypt, and Annan asked in a different way: "Magic Mirror, Magic Mirror, what is the full name of the Vault?" β
"Jabby and Wallendo's secret collection." The sound of the mirror makes the crypt feel like winter.
"Magic Mirror, Magic Mirror, who are Jebby and Wallendo?"
"Jabby is the best forging master in the North, and Wallendo is the best warrior in the North."
"I seem to know them...... It is recorded in the history books of the Elven calendar. Ingrid said suddenly.
Annan swept the walls, the dusty weapons were neither artifacts nor sharp, and their value was only collectible.
While Gemma was still immersed in the loss, Annan asked, "Magic mirror, magic mirror, a person gets a treasure map, and the treasure is located under a house, and that person finds the owner of the house to dig up the treasure, do you think the treasure should go to the owner of the house, or the person who owns the treasure map?" β
"Half of them."
"No...... It's all for you. Gema came back to her senses.
As a generous lord and a loving elder, Annan certainly couldn't agree, insisting that there was half of the Gema here.
Gema, who was in a bad mood, went out with the old butler.
"Annan, we can keep it all to ......ourselves," and as he went out, a whisper came from the shadows.
Annan thought about how Deella's body and mind were even darker after she changed from a nezumi to an elf: "We have to prove our innocence with Gema." He will stand with us when he gets benefits. β
Dozens or hundreds of gold coins Annan can't look down on it.
Back on the surface, learning that Gema had left, Annan asked Copperbeard to lead the team to take out the collection. At this time, the captain of the guard arrived, holding the "magic mirror" with a completely broken mirror.
He said it was Gema who threw it out of the carβ
"It seems that a little setback has made our second Miss Gemma lose her temper."
Annan took the broken magic mirror and asked casually:
"Magic Mirror, Magic Mirror, who is the most handsome man in the world this time?"
