Chapter 177: Building Momentum (Part 2)

There are three doors to the treasure house, and the first two doors are guarded by guards, especially the second door, where Dean saw a strange big knight and two knights.

However, with the Marquis of Vauban present, the great knight and the two knights gave Dean kind eyes.

"That's Xi Ke, who is in charge of the defense of my treasury!"

When the Marquis Vauban opened the third door, he explained to Dean.

And Dean wisely didn't ask why the opponent didn't guard the treasury last time - that incident was definitely the heart disease of the Marquis of Vauban, and Dean definitely didn't want to uncover the scars of the opponent.

Squeak!

Even though it was full of oil, the heavy door made a loud noise when it turned.

"Here are the items in my collection. Although they are not as clear as they were in the original treasure house, they can still be roughly distinguished... Dean, choose one!"

After entering the third door, the Marquis of Vauban pointed to the surrounding collections in a slightly proud tone.

Just as the Marquis of Vauban said, in this small, but definitely not small room, there are many surprising rare treasures.

Moreover, they are roughly divided into categories - weapons and armor are facing Dean, oil paintings, tapestries and statues are on the left, and some small ornaments and books are on the right.

There are no less than a hundred kinds of each, and this is undoubtedly a huge wealth. I am afraid that just the weapons and armor directly opposite are enough to exchange for a knight order with no less than 2,000 people, and yes, including weapons and armor. And horses and everything else you need.

but. It was the last sentence that surprised Dean.

"Compensation. Have you forgotten the compensation Lily fought for you?"

The Marquis of Vauban looked at Dean with surprised eyes. Couldn't help laughing.

"Of course I remember, but I'm still surprised!"

Dean didn't mean to hide it at all, and said truthfully.

Of course, Dean still remembers the compensation that Miss Baroness Till won for him, but in Dean's perception. The compensation he'll get is a few Kimptons; and at most he'll make that compensation a little more when he's shown the value of a gold-level reserve.

As if just now, the Marquis of Vauban took him into the treasury.

Dean believed that his compensation was a collection selected by the Marquis of Vauban.

However, he did not expect that the Marquis of Vauban would let him choose by himself.

Although they are all selected collections, one is selected by the other party and the other is self-selected. The difference is obviously very different-the former will be fixed within a certain value, while the latter will be between the highest and the lowest. Choice, its value depends entirely on your own vision.

really. The next moment, the Marquis of Vauban said: "Here are all my collections. The one with the highest value, even the deceased old king, would never forget it before his death, and the one with the lowest value...about a thousand Kimptons Let me know, it was given to me by a friend when I was young-as for which one you can pick, it depends on your luck!"

"It's such a tough choice!"

Dean scanned the collection in front of him and said this.

"Yeah, originally I had already chosen a compensation gift for you, but, based on your previous performance, if I really gave you that gift, it would only be considered as dealing with you casually... spread it out, My reputation will definitely be greatly damaged, and I will be ridiculed by several other guys! Even if I choose any gift, I will get such a result-after all, Dean, you performed too well! So, I can only give You have the right to choose on your own, and only in this way is our best solution!"

The Marquis of Vauban nodded in agreement.

"However, when you were in trouble, you passed it on to me!"

Facing the honesty of the Marquis of Vauban, a wry smile appeared on the corner of Dean's mouth.

"Young people need to take responsibility, not to mention... I believe that as a future gold-level powerhouse, Dean, your vision will not be bad!"

The Marquis of Vauban blinked cunningly, then turned around and walked aside, and stretched out his hand as a gesture of please.

One's own strength and the vision of appraising items are obviously two different things.

A gold-level powerhouse may be well-informed, but he absolutely cannot be an appraiser.

In the same way, an excellent appraiser cannot be a gold-level powerhouse.

Therefore, the words of the Marquis of Vauban are completely flattering.

As for why?

Naturally, in order to silence Dean - even if you choose a collection that is not very good, it is your own choice, isn't it?

For these, Dean is naturally clear.

However, he didn't care much.

In fact, during his previous life as an assassin, he had pretended to be a knowledgeable appraiser more than once.

Of course, there is a considerable distance from the person he pretends to be, but there is some relevant knowledge, and it is much more than ordinary people.

And with such knowledge, it is not very difficult for Dean to find a valuable item among these collections—and just now, in his seemingly random glance, several items worth more than ten thousand gold Puton's collection has already appeared in Dean's sight; however, these are not Dean's goals.

Because of the interruption of the auction, the items for the next day's auction were not auctioned as scheduled.

The attack on Fort Vauban, coupled with the heavy casualties, made neither the Marquis of Vauban nor the nobles who came from afar feel in the mood.

Therefore, all the items that were auctioned the next day were left behind.

This is the news that Dean got from Baron Till's lady before. At that time, the lady shook her head with regret. It seems very fond of it.

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 didn't mean that he wanted to give up this opportunity—give up, and take the great wizard Onedon away openly. At the same time, it is an opportunity for Onidong, the ZTE boss of the Brotherhood, to take notes.

undoubtedly. Items held at auction. It will definitely not be piled up indiscriminately, and its own value is naturally very suitable to be placed in the treasury of the Marquis of Vauban.

As for the value of Onedon's Notes?

It's enough to get the attention of the Brotherhood, if not the main goal.

But there must be something worth noting.

And that was enough for Dean.

After all, it doesn't matter whether it's a superficial identity or a hidden identity. That great wizard, Onedon, is good at refining various medicines, many of which can improve various qualities of the body.

No doubt, this is what Dean needs.

Dean walked straight to the place where the trinkets and books were placed on the right-hand side—although there was no real arrangement, but the bookshelves and catalog pages still existed, so that Dean would not pick them up and look through them one by one.

Just need to follow the catalog page to find it.

His eyes followed the entries on the catalog page. Even though he had already decided on the items he was looking for, Dean was still surprised when he saw some entries.

"Elegy for the Dragon", a poem describing the failure of the conquering king.

"Ocean Abyss". The human geography of the offshore waters and the existence of several island chains are marked in detail. And that author is Hoxha, the advisor of the Emerald Founder.

There is no doubt that these books are definitely not forged. As the Marquis of Vauban, he will never accept counterfeit items in his treasure house.

Therefore, these are all true!

"If the "Dragon Elegy" is known to be here by the Gaosai people, I'm afraid they will spare no expense, right? And this "Ocean Abyss" should be something that the emerald old king never forgets before his death!"

Dean thought silently in his heart.

"What a powder keg!"

In the end, Dean commented like this.

Obviously, if the people of Gaosai really knew that "Dragon's Elegy" was here, then the previous attackers would definitely have a copy of Gaosai's people.

After all, with the pride of Gao Sai, the relics of the King of Conquerors are absolutely not allowed to appear in any place that does not belong to Gao Sai, especially if it is in the hands of the weak Emerald Man. For the proud Gao Sai, it is simply an insult to the ancestors.

It's clearly none of Dean's business, though.

His gaze continued downward, and finally, at the end of the catalog page, he found the note of Onedon he was looking for.

Then, following the instructions on the catalog page, Dean pulled out the notebook. The thickness of the notebook was as thick as a brick, and the height of a four or five-year-old child—everything was in line with the customs of the century-old Emerald.

"So fast?"

The Marquis of Vauban looked at Dean who came out, expressing surprise, but when he saw the notebook of Onedon, he frowned, reminding Dean kindly: "This is not a very good thing. collection... Although it was confirmed to be a genuine item, it did not say anything about the precious potion formula - although part of the attack by the 'Brotherhood' was due to it, most of it was released by me fake news!"

"For me, the basic and common formula is enough, not to mention, it still comes from Master Onedon!"

Dean spoke the speech he had already prepared.

"Dean, are you going to study some pharmacy? With your aptitude, you should focus more on your strength. Diligent training and necessary actual combat are what you need!"

The Marquis of Vauban couldn't help reminding again.

"It's just some hobbies... My family used to be very good at medicine, but the inheritance was cut off. I just hope to make up for it... Otherwise, I will definitely choose that "Ocean Abyss"!"

Dean said with a smile.

"Sure enough, Dean, you have a good vision... However, with the potential you have shown, your family will regain its glory sooner or later!"

The Marquis of Vauban was taken aback when he heard Dean say "The Abyss", and immediately smiled wryly; and when the wry smile stopped, he said very seriously.

Being able to identify his most precious collection, the Marquis of Vauban naturally wouldn't say anything else, because it just seemed more redundant.

A word or two of kind reminders is enough.

"However, there are still some commemorations, after all, this is part of the glory!"

Dean shook One's notes in his hand.
