Chapter 177: Building Momentum
There were three doors to the treasury, and the first two were guarded by guards, especially the second one, where Dean saw a strange knight and two knights.
However, with the Marquis de Vauban present, the Grand Knight and the two Knight gave Dean a kind look.
"That's Sick, defending my treasury!"
The Marquis de Vauban explained to Dean as he opened the third door again.
And Dean was very wise not to ask why it was not the other party guarding the treasury last time - that incident was definitely the heart of the Marquis Vauban heart, and Dean definitely did not want to uncover the other party's scars.
Squeak!
Even though it was full of oil, the heavy gate made a loud noise as it turned.
"This is the item in my collection, although it is not as clear as when it was in the original treasure house, but it can also be roughly distinguished...... Dean, pick one! ”
The Marquis de Vauban entered the third door and pointed to the surrounding collections in a slightly proud tone.
As the Marquis de Vauban said, in this small but absolutely small room, there are many surprising rarities.
Moreover, they are roughly divided into categories - directly opposite Dean are weapons and armor, on the left hand side are paintings, tapestries and statues, etc., and on the right hand side are small ornaments and books.
There are no less than a hundred kinds of each, and this is undoubtedly a huge fortune, I am afraid that the weapons and armor directly opposite are enough to exchange for a knight order with a number of no less than two thousand, and it is necessary to include weapons, armor, war horses, and so on.
But. It was the last sentence that surprised Dean.
"Compensation. Have you forgotten the compensation that Lily fought for you? ”
The Marquis de Vauban looked at Dean with a surprised look. I couldn't help but laugh.
"Of course I do, but I'm still surprised!"
Dean didn't mean to hide it in the slightest, and said truthfully.
As for the compensation that Baron Tyre's young lady won for him, Dean naturally remembers it vividly, but in Dean's cognition. The compensation he will receive is some Kimpton; And when he showed the value of the gold-level reserves, the most he could do was to make that compensation a little more.
It was as if the Marquis de Vauban had just taken him into the treasury.
Dean believed that the compensation he received was a collection selected by the Marquis de Vauban .
However, he didn't expect the Marquis of Vauban to let him choose.
Although they are all selected collections, one is selected by the other party and the other is selected by themselves, and the difference between them is obviously very different - the former will be fixed within a value limit, while the latter is the choice between the highest and the lowest, and its value depends entirely on its own vision.
Really. The next moment, the Marquis de Vauban said, "Here is my entire collection." The one with the highest value, even the old king who passed away, was remembered before his death, and the one with the lowest value was ...... About a thousand kimptons, a friend of mine gave it to me when I was younger—and it takes your luck to pick which one you can pick! ”
"It's a hard choice!"
Dean scanned the collection in front of him and said.
"Yes, I have already chosen a gift for you to compensate, but, with your previous table, if I really give you that gift, it will only be considered that I am dealing with you casually...... If I get the word out, my reputation will definitely be ruined, and I will be laughed at by a few other guys! Even, if I pick any gift, I will get this result - after all, Dean, you are so good! Therefore, I can only give you the right to choose, and only in this way is the best way for us to solve it! ”
The Marquis de Vauban nodded, in agreement.
"But when you were in trouble, you passed it on to me!"
Faced with the Marquis Vauban candor's honesty, a wry smile appeared on Dean's lips.
"Young people need to take responsibility, not to mention ...... I believe that as a gold-level powerhouse in the future, Dean, your vision will not be bad! ”
The Marquis de Vauban winked a little slyly, then turned and stepped aside, and, with his hand, made a gesture of please.
Your own strength and your vision for identifying items are obviously two different things.
A gold-level powerhouse may be well-informed, but he will definitely not be able to hold the position of appraiser.
In the same way, the strength of an excellent appraiser cannot be a gold-level powerhouse.
Therefore, the words of the Marquis de Vauban were nothing more than compliments.
As for, why?
Naturally, in order to silence Dean - even if you choose a collection that is not very good, you choose it with your own eyes, don't you?
For these, Dean is naturally clear.
However, he didn't care much.
In fact, during his previous life as an Assassin, he had impersonated a knowledgeable appraiser on more than one occasion.
Of course, there is naturally a considerable gap between the object of his impersonation, but there is some relevant knowledge, and it is much beyond ordinary people.
And with this kind of knowledge, it is naturally not very difficult for Dean to find a valuable item in these collections—and just now, in his seemingly random glance, several collections worth more than 10,000 Kimptons have appeared in Dean's sight; That's not Dean's goal, though.
Because of the interruption of the auction, the items auctioned the next day did not go up as scheduled.
The attack on Fort Vauban and the heavy casualties made both the Marquis of Vauban and the nobles who came from afar in the mood.
As a result, all the items auctioned the next day were left behind.
This was the news that Dean had received from the young lady of the Baron de Tyre, and at that time, the young lady shook her head regretfully, after all, this young lady seemed to have a soft spot for the necklace that was auctioned off the next day.
Dean wasn't looking for the necklace right now, though.
Although he was very grateful to the young lady of the baron's family, it did not mean that he had to give up this opportunity - give up and take the great wizard Onidon. At the same time, it is also an opportunity for the big boss of the 'Brotherhood' ZTE to note Onidon.
Undoubtedly. Items stranded at auction. It will certainly not be piled up indiscriminately, and its own value is naturally very suitable for it to be placed in the treasure house of the Marquis Vauban in vaubana.
As for the value of Onidon's notes?
It is enough to be able to get the attention of the 'Brotherhood', if not the main goal.
But there must be something noteworthy in it.
And that's enough for Dean.
After all, whether it's a superficial identity or a hidden identity. The great wizard Onidon was good at refining all kinds of medicines, many of which increased the body's various elements.
Undoubtedly, that's what Dean needs.
Dean walked straight to the right-hand spot where the trinkets and books were placed - although they were not really organized, the bookshelves and catalog pages were still there, so that Dean would not pick them up one by one.
It's just a matter of following the table of contents page.
His eyes moved to the entries on the catalog page, and even though he had already decided on what he was looking for, Dean was surprised when he saw some of the entries.
"Elegy for the Dragon", a poem describing the defeat of the conquering king.
"The Abyss". The human geography of the offshore waters is marked in detail, as well as the existence of several island chains. And that author is Hoxha, the advisor of the Emerald Founders.
There is no doubt that none of these books were forged, and as the Marquis de Vauban would never have accepted a copy in his treasure trove.
Therefore, these are all true!
"If the "Dragon Elegy" is known by the Gao Sai people, I am afraid that it will not cost a single price, right? And this "Sea Abyss" should be the item that the old king of Jade never forgot before he died! ”
Dean thought silently in his heart.
"What a powder keg!"
Ultimately, Dean commented.
Obviously, if the Gosai people really know that "Dragon Elegy" is here, then the previous attackers will definitely have a share of the Gaussians.
After all, with Gao Sai's pride, the relics of the Conquest King are never allowed to appear in any place that does not belong to Gao Sai, especially in the hands of the weak Jade People, which is simply an insult to the ancestors for the proud Gao Sai.
However, this is clearly not Dean's business.
His gaze continued downward, and eventually, at the end of the table of contents page, he found the note of Onidon that he was looking for.
Then, following the instructions on the table of contents, Dean pulled out the notebook, the thickness of a brick, the height of a child of four or five years old—a qiē was in line with the custom of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Emerald Empire.
"So fast?"
The Marquis de Vauban looked at Dean who came out, expressing surprise, and when he saw the book of Onidon's notes, he frowned and kindly reminded Dean: "This is not a very good collection...... Although it was confirmed to be a genuine product, it didn't say anything about the precious potion recipe - the Brotherhood's attacks were partly due to it, but most of them were fake news that I put out! ”
"For me, the basic, common recipe is enough, not to mention, it still comes from Master Onidon!"
Dean said what he had already prepared.
"Dean, are you going to study some pharmacy? With your qualifications, you should focus more on your strength, diligent training and necessary actual combat are what you need! ”
The Marquis de Vauban couldn't help but remind again.
"Just a hobby...... My family used to be very good at potions, but it has been cut off, and I just hope to make amends...... Otherwise, I would definitely choose that "Sea Abyss"! ”
Dean said with a smile.
"Sure enough, Dean, you have a good eye...... However, with the potential you have revealed, sooner or later your family will regain its glory! ”
When the Marquis de Vauban heard Dean say "The Abyss", he was stunned and immediately smiled bitterly; And when the wry smile stopped, he said very seriously.
Able to discern his most precious collection, the Marquis de Vauban naturally did not say anything else, because it would only seem more redundant.
A kind reminder or two is enough.
"However, some commemoration still needs to be had, after all, this is part of the glory of the past!"
Dean shook Onidon's note in his hand.
