CHAPTER 435: A PRIVATE TREASURE ROOM (2/2)
“We’re here.”
Paliseth reminded us before pulling me forward a couple steps. Thanks to that, I only had time to grab hold of Jezsere tighter before my feet took me right into the glowing purple wall ahead of me… there was no pain. In fact, I felt a strange sensation of having passed through a wall of liquid into another world. From the never-ending stairs of a second ago, I was suddenly brought into a new world, one that almost seemed like a dream to me.
Bar after bar of gold were stacked neatly atop each other until they reached the rough height of a human being. And that was just one column too, there were so many others that I didn’t even know where to start counting! Holy jeebus! It’s gold! The whole world has turned to gold and is trying to blind me with its wealth right now!
That had to be the first time I had ever seen so much gold in one spot. However, this treasure room wasn’t just a repository for gold. At the side, there were racks numbering in the hundreds holding all manners of plate armors, robes and leather armors. Every plate armor was paired with some manner of heavy weaponry like a spear or a greatsword. The leather armors were matched with daggers or crossbows. As for the robes, they were matched with intricately carved staves as you would expect. Furthermore, these armor sets were all arranged to the various classes they served, all ready to be worn at the drop of the hat…
That wasn’t the end of it as well. This treasure room also had a jewellery section, a potions section, an ingredients section and finally an assorted section where everything else that did not fit were stuffed into.
“Master? Where are we? Ahh…my eyes…” A short while after entering the treasure room, Jezsere had finally gotten over her dizziness, only to be stunned and nearly blinded by the dazzling display in front of her.
“You’ll get used to it soon.” I hurriedly pulled her into my chest then rubbed her temples.
“That’s where the completed armor sets are stored. On the other side, you have the armors and weapons which do not fit together into a set. Either way, both sides contain top quality goods only and have been arranged according to the various classes. Here we have the potions section. Most of them are healing potions and beneficial potions. For example, this vial over here is a revival potion that can pull anyone back from the brink of death. Over there’s a frenzy potion that massively raises your power for fifteen minutes. The only problem is its side effects…” Paliseth started explaining to the shell shocked Jezsere with a smile. “Then we have the ingredients section. If there’s anything your holiness needs constructed, this section should have the materials.”
Construction?
Suddenly, the image of an Eight-star Fire Elemental Core popped into my mind, followed by an Eight-star Flame Devouring Fish’s heart.
The latter was merely a fantasy on my part. The Flame Devouring Fishes were a specialty of Purgatory that might have been possible to find in the Western Human Realms, but definitely not here. The Elemental Core, on the other hand, was something worth searching for. After all, this section was huge!
“Little Brother, I remember you saying that you had something to do in the Western Human Realms.” Just as I was about to go on a massive treasure hunt, Ferti’nier suddenly interrupted me with a question. “Has that changed?”
‘Ferti’nier… you she-devil, you actually dare show your face after that whole episode?! Bah, that’s not important now. It’s not like I actually suffered because of that -I even gained a godmother too. But don’t you worry, I remember this favor of yours. We’ll settle this next time.’
“Hohohohoho, our little brother sure has grown bold! Must be because of his new godmother!” Ferti’nier chuckled in her usual teasing voice.
‘Hmph, like you’re one to talk. All that wouldn’t have happened if you hadn’t screwed me over so badly.’
The moment I said that however, Ferti’nier immediately changed her tone. “But you did retrieve the Devil King Idol, right?”
(If you are reading this, that means this content is stolen. Please support us by visiting our site.)
‘Yes, I did. No matter what happens, I will definitely take it back.’ In fact, even if I knew about Ferti’nier’s famous ten second gateways beforehand, I would have still taken the risk and tried to sneak back into the hallway to grab the Devil King Idol.
“Good, good. As long as you get it back, it’s all good. And your big sis knows exactly what you want, some compensation, right?” Ferti’nier impatiently pointed at a certain area of the ingredients section. “Over there. There are some Fire Elemental Cores. At least three Eight-star cores, and even a Nine-star Crystal Core of a magical beast. Not bad, not bad at all.”
