After an afternoon of partying, Theodore, with the silver moonlight and the breeze, quietly fell asleep, reminiscing about his previous life--though he knew that all this would never come back, but man is such a creature, isn't he?

But this beautiful haode time was rudely interrupted. Valence walked in from outside the door, patted Theodore gently on the face and woke him up, and before Theodore could get angry, the captain of the Valence Guard, who was always a sculptural face, stood there, and his tone was as slight as a mosquito: "Caesar, it's someone sent by Rivad Bixia." ”

"Oh~ okay, let him in. Theodore took the hot towel handed over by Valence and wiped his face to make himself less sleepy: "I hope he didn't wake me up here because of the dwarf's time difference!"

Valens didn't say anything, took two steps back slightly, and stood in the doorway. A dwarf dressed in a black robe walked over with a lamp on his face, with an extremely mysterious expression on his face: "I'm sorry to wake you up on such a beautiful night, Lord of Rome...... Or should I call you Caesar?"

"Please don't dwell on that, sir. Theodore rubbed his eyes and yawned softly, "Let's both save time on both sides, what did Levard Bixia ask you to do?"

This way of asking questions was obviously in line with the dwarf's habits and style, and the dwarf smiled lightly, walked up to Theodore, and whispered in his ear: "Bixia said that it was time to pay the payment, and he specially asked me to come to you at this time--naturally, the other adults have also been informed." ”

"Find a few hundred cronies you can trust and set out as quietly as possible. I will be waiting for you at the entrance, my lord, please don't make too much noise. ”

"It's nature. Theodore nodded slightly, and all his sleepiness disappeared at once: "Valens, come here, we have something to do." ”

"Command, Caesar!" the serious captain of the guard stood in the doorway, watching the dwarf's every move, and approached almost immediately after hearing the order.

"Immediately wake up the captain of the first wing, Paulus the Eagle Bannerbearer. Let him gather all the Roman veterans of the First Wing, try not to make a sound, and assemble with me as fast as he can. Theodore's eyes revealed a strange color: "Gather all the guards!"

"Understood!" Valence immediately walked out of Theodore's bedroom, and trotted out of the hallway—clearly armed, but there was no sound under his footsteps.

"And remember, don't lose it, Lord Julian. The dwarf stood beside Theodore and whispered, "I will set out with you—listen to me for a moment, at any rate." ”

"I can understand. Theodore agreed, smiled and nodded: "I believe that you must have your own special reasons in it, I can understand this." ”

"I don't think you understand. The dwarf shook his head in disbelief: "The next place we are going to is under the earth, through the chain narrow passage and the Thousand Stacked Towers, deep into the earth. ”

"There, buried are the treasures of the dwarves accumulated for generations, the treasury of the new gar!"

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Although he was mentally prepared, when he actually entered the underground tunnels of New Gal, Theodore was still shocked by what he saw!

The narrow, irregular staircase winds like a python clinging to a giant tree, and every other distance a torch is lit and stuck in the rocky cliff. The light of the fire illuminates the spiral-shaped "staircase" hidden deep in the darkness of the earth, and there are only "handrails" connected by iron cables, which may have been a long, long time ago.

"Pluto is on top, these dwarves can't even dig through hell, right?" Paulus, the eagle standard-bearer, looked at the long, bottomless pit in shock, holding a torch high in his hand: "This damn darkness! I can't see anything!" he said, tightening the sword at his waist to give himself a little security.

"Please don't speak loudly, sir!" reminded the dwarf who walked in front of him, "this is the third tunnel under Singar, and one of the first. Our ancestors dug up the earliest gold mines in Singar here! Rich in richness and of good quality, many of the famous gold antiques in Singar were made from gold mined here, and many of them can still be found. ”

"So, there's actually a gold mine down here?" Elendil walked up to Theodore from behind, shielded Caesar behind him, and stared at Shijie in the darkness, "Do you want us to be miners again?"

"Oh, of course not!" the dwarf shook his head, "this place was abandoned a long time ago, and those industrious and intelligent fathers built a spiral staircase along what was once an underground tunnel to the treasury of the New Gar - the one we are walking on now. ”

"Iron and steel mines, gem mines, large metallurgical factories, forging factories, gem workshops, gold and silverware workshops............ All of these workshops, large and small, that sustain the prosperity of Singar, are built deep underground, connected by tunnels and spiral staircases, which is what Singar really is!"

"It looks like it must be a hassle for your workers to get home. Theodore said as if jokingly: "Such a dangerous road, if you are not careful, you will fall into a bottomless hole!"

"The tunnels that are often used are equipped with special public rail minecarts for easy access. The dwarf did not look back, but kept going down: "But such an important place is naturally an exception. It's easy to get out of here, but it's hard to get in - at least, the orcs haven't found it. ”

It wasn't long before they spotted a blazing platform not far below, and there was a distinct figure swaying around—it seemed to be this place, Theodore thought to himself.

"Here we are, my lordship, and gentlemen. This is the third basement level of Singar, and from here you can directly access the two gem mines, as well as the Singar treasury!" The dwarf jumped down the stairs first: "Allow me to introduce to you, this is the famous El Dorado - one of the first treasury of Singar!"

"Aha, you're late again!" a hearty voice came from across the platform, and without looking at Theodore, he handed the torch to Elendil beside him, and walked over with a smile: "It seems that they are all here?"

"I've called all the knights I can call, how many have you brought?" Salad gave Theodore a rather violent bear hug: "Looks like there's more than one tunnel leading to here! We're coming from the opposite passage, damn it's dark!"

"The veterans of the First Wing have all brought here, and they can be trusted!" Diodore said undeniably, "Why, it's only you and Aaron, Helena didn't come?"

However, he immediately realized that he had made a mistake, and Salald's strange eyes swept over Theodore, and he pouted and turned his head: "No, but Adjutant Will is here." Also, ceremoniously speaking, you should call her Her Highness Pendragon, at least for now!"

"Of course, it should be. Theodore smiled and responded: "It's me who is too abrupt and a little rude. ”

"I hope you don't think I'm too rigid, Theodore, my friend. After all, legally speaking, I am now her vassal, and the Ultok family has been blessed for generations, so it is natural to maintain the majesty of the sovereign. Salald patted Theodore on the shoulder, explaining as he went, "Otherwise, I would be worthy of the title of Grand Duke." ”

"Hey! keep up...... And your loyal guards. Aaron rolled his eyes and looked behind him with his torch, "It's here, the Great Treasury of New Gaal." ”

At this time, the two of them remembered to look up, and a gate that resembled the gate of the city of New Gar was standing in front of them, surrounded by high stone steps, and there were dwarf head reliefs on the rock wall on one side, quietly guarding this legendary place.

Yes, the legendary place. Nestled alongside the Eternal Waterfall of the Forest of Silence, the Drawing Stone of the Imperial Capital of Issos, the mysterious legend that lurks underground, one of the four El Dorado of the Black Rock Basin, and the Great Treasury of New Gar!

Rivard stepped up to the steps, as if he were the king of the world, and his expression was solemn: "My friends, are you ready to witness this legendary miracle land?

With his gesture, two sturdy dwarven guards began to spin two steering wheel-like mechanisms. There was a loud sound of gears turning and chain pulling, accompanied by dust falling from the surrounding rock walls, and the two gates began to open slowly--this place had apparently not been visited for a long time!

Just like the design of haode, several small dwarf reliefs at the door invariably ignited flames, so that everyone standing at the bottom of the stairs could clearly see the inside of the large vault.

When a group of people who were choking on dust and closed their eyes looked up again, they were instantly dizzy by the light reflected by the bright metal!

The mountain of small gold coins, as if losing its center of gravity after the gate was opened, poured down from behind the door like a river, and "flowed" out of the stairs on both sides, flooding half of the Rivard standing on it.

Everyone stared at their feet in distraction, and the vault that glowed with a pale golden glow of intoxication, and a top-heavy feeling of dizziness came, more like a sign of insufficient blood supply than shock.

"Really, it's all true...... Salald repeats the phrase over and over again: "El Dorado, diamonds shine like stars, mountains and rivers with five colors, and gold rushes like rivers............ It's all true!"

"It's all true!"
