Chapter 717: Gold Coins! Gold!
As usual, Demytia first used a cloud of holy light to explore the way, but did not wait for the holy light to return. The wizard who had opened the mechanism couldn't wait to go on.
According to him and Locke, "Lord Harvey, decryption is our wizard's hobby, let me go in and see what other mechanisms are inside..."
It didn't take long for the Holy Light Regiment to return, and so did the wizard. He shrugged boringly, "There aren't any mechanisms in there, just some chests." Oh, there was a part of it that collapsed in the explosion just now, and the load-bearing inside is already very unstable, so it's best to bring it out as soon as possible. ”
As soon as he said this, Locke immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and under the arch of the guards, Locke stepped into it.
Just like when he went down at the time, the space was compact, and the walls on both sides were filled with large boxes. But the difference is that it may be because of something wrong with the seal, and the iron sheet on the box began to have water droplets and layers of rust.
Locke looked up into the distance, and the wall at the end of the secret passage had collapsed...
"This is the accumulation of the Agamande family over hundreds of years?" Demytia also walked in, and she opened a chest at random, and the gold coins glowed a dull yellow glow in the light of the torches.
Grabbing a handful of gold coins and putting them in, Demithia counted the boxes around her, and she said with a little disappointment, "The number of gold coins here does not match this family that has been inherited for a hundred years, there should be some ancient documents and records." Chronicle how their ancestors were under the command of Soladin the Great and how they acquired everything they had. ”
"I took a few boxes of gold coins with me, and Eva's start-up capital came from them..."
"No... Oh! Got it! Demitea looked into the secret passage, and soon she found something, and by the light of the torches, Locke saw that there were several parchment rolls hanging on the walls. He hadn't noticed this last time.
"Generally speaking, in the coffers of the great noble families, there will be records of how much wealth is stored. Just like Shiloh, she counts the amount of your gold coins every quarter to prevent anyone from sneaking them away. ”
Is it? Locke didn't pay attention, but he immediately felt his scalp tingle... The millions of gold coins in his vault had to be counted every quarter?
It's not easy for working people, they count gold coins every day, but the money is not theirs...
O evil nobles...
"Can you count gold coins that accurately?" Locke was naturally still a little skeptical, such a large amount was obviously impossible. "How long is that?"
Seeming to be Locke's lack of this knowledge, Demytia looked up at Locke in surprise and smiled, she shook her head and explained, "Lord Harvey, gold coins may have an exact amount when they are put into storage, but in the measurement after storage, most of them use the weighing method to calculate the total weight. The weight of each gold coin is certain, and you only need to remove the weight of a single gold coin to get roughly the number of gold coins. ”
Oh well. Locke patted his head, it was indeed a little embarrassing, but he really didn't know.
"It's a storage record. That's a little more than 1,200,000 gold coins," Demytia looked at carefully, "According to the above, before the Scourge broke through here, there were more than a hundred chests of gold coins from the various kings' periods, dating back to the time of Soladin the Great. ”
"Really?" Locke looked around, there were more than thirty large boxes here....
At this time, the report of the guards also came at the right time, "My lord, there is another closed passage here. The goblins' bombs shattered the wall. ”
Hearing the report, Locke ran over overjoyed, this is a lot of money! Iva has eaten the demographic dividend of Lordaeron's development over the years, and there is also a lot of trade income, and now he only has an income of more than a million gold coins. And most of them are still under the continuous exploration of the kobolds, and the gold ore is smelted into gold coins!
Sure enough, through the crack in the collapsed wall, the guards barreled their weapons through, and there was a hole inside!
"Huh!" Locke couldn't help but laugh, I really didn't expect it! Can you hide gold coins like this?!
Because of the movement of the goblins, there could be another collapse at any time, and Locke and Demitea were forced to walk out of it. Durand, with his vigilant legionnaires, began to enter it, moving everything inside out one by one and placing it on the ground.
Unlike Demythia and the wizards, who watched intently at the scrolls and documents that the soldiers took out, Locke was more interested in boxes of sealed gold coins!!
Now his reform plan can be as expected!!
"I've found the answer, Lord Harvey." Demythia beckoned to Locke, who walked over and took the scroll from Demytia's hand.
"Exiled Agamander clansmen, no matter where you found the information left behind by our family. You can show up here, and the monsters out there should have been destroyed. ”
"At this moment, in my head, the family council room should have been breached by the undead, and I heard the heart-rending screams of Duke Oloren... It's horrible! ”
"I'm sorry, I'm running out of time, my mind is very confused, please understand."
"Duke Oloren asked me to hide most of the gold coins in the depths of the vault, because we just built a wall and used some of the gold coins outside to cover up the vast majority of our family's wealth."
"A week ago, the undead monsters had encircled our mill town, and our Agamander family may be at an end, but our wealth cannot be buried here."
Here the parchment was corroded and broken with a few holes, and the words behind it were not legible, so Locke skipped a few lines and continued to read.
"I've been hiding in this secret passage for too long! There's no food here, not even the lamp oil is running out! I can't stay any longer, it's like a monster is hiding in the coming darkness waiting to devour me! I have to get out! ”
"I drew a map of the family's secret room, and all the family's wealth was in it. I hung it on the wall, and if you can find this scroll, you will be able to find our family's wealth. ”
"I'm going out, may the Light bless me..."
I see.
All this was deliberately placed there by the female treasurer of the Agaman family for the descendants of their family to find later. It's a pity that none of the descendants of their family can find here, and even if they do, they don't have the strength to take them out.
"The person who wrote this letter is the one who told me that there is a treasure here." Locke folded the letter and handed it to Demethia. "It's a pity that when I met her, she was already a ghost."
"Do you think there is still an heir to the Agamande?" Demithia looked at the letter in her hand, "This letter can't exist, it will cause some unnecessary trouble. ”
As she spoke, a golden light appeared in her hand, and the parchment was wiped out into dregs and disappeared into thin air.
"There should be none, or they will come to me for dominion over here." Locke watched as the soldiers carried out boxes of large wooden boxes and placed them on the ground, and the guards stood guard around the boxes of gold coins, demanding that anyone approach.
"The aristocratic family that has been inherited for a hundred years is really not what I can imagine." Locke smacked his lips, and the excitement of getting the treasure slowly faded. He even wondered if he could go back and ask Kalia, the treasure spot of the Minethil family.
Hmm, that must have been inherited by Sylvanas, right?
"What are you going to do with this money?" Demithia looked at the busy crowd over there, and she whispered, "This news cannot be hidden, and the people of Iva will know that you have obtained all the treasures of the Agamande family." ”
"How do you use it?" Locke laughed a few times, "Iva needs too much money, no, it's too many places for the whole of Lordaeron to use money. ”
At this moment, the neighing of war horses sounded in the distance, and Locke and Demitian turned their heads to look. Shiloh, dressed in a bishop's robe, actually rode a horse and rushed all the way here.
"My treasurer is much happier than I expected," said Locke, striding up and grabbing the reins of her warhorse, who rolled over and dismounted quickly. happily pointed to the wooden boxes around Locke, "Are these these?" ”
Locke smiled and nodded, and Demytia smiled and followed, "This will make our logistics officers have less gray hair." ”
The soldiers had cordoned off the area, and no one could enter without Locke's permission.
Locke followed Shiloh, the agitated treasurer running back and forth among the neatly stacked boxes. One moment to touch that, the other to knock this, as if everything was unreal.
Locke smiled behind her and said, "Open it and take a look." ”
Shiloh turned her head flushed, she shook her palms excitedly, and said excitedly, "I'm sorry, I lost my temper." You can't understand how a person who has been doing such a job for a long time suddenly sees so much windfall. That kind of thing doesn't have to pay any price, you can..."
"This will make Eva's financial resources even more abundant!" Shiloh bit her lip and said with an effort smile, "The overlap between the duties of logistics officer and finance officer makes me extremely excited that every gold coin can be put into Eva's vault. ”
Locke and Demydia smiled slightly, but Locke was very happy with what Shiloh said. Only if you regard your own money as the owner will you have this mentality. In other words, Hilo is an employee with a strong sense of ownership. This will go a long way in eliminating waste and abuse for a large company like Locke.
When Shiloh had calmed down, she took out a small slender dagger and carefully pried open the lid of a box that lay on the ground.
"Whoa!"
Dark gold coins fell down the cracks in the chest. Shiloh excitedly took those gold coins and looked at them carefully, and even took out a caliper from his body to measure the size of the gold coins....
Immediately afterward, Shiloh opened one chest after another, and after burying the boxes of gold coins on the ground for a long time, he finally saw the light of day again...
