Chapter 16.2 - The Treasure Hunting Record in Needham Plain’s Ruins Part 2 (1/2)

City ruins of Needham Plain, Castellan’s residence

Clyde and Princess Natalie discovered the former Castellan’s basement treasury. Originally, Natalie had wanted to directly enter, but Clyde had stopped her. Clyde could sense many undead creatures below. If Natalie went down, even if she were powerful, she would be easily plotted against.

The visibility within the underground treasury was very low. There were no illuminating tools at all. A person entering could only depend on the faint glow from his or her candle as well as the faint glitter of gold coins to judge his or her position. However, this didn’t affect Clyde at all. As an Evil God, he had night vision that transcended anything the Human Race could aspire to. Even if it were so dark that even a hand in front of one’s face couldn’t be seen, he would be able to see clearly, no different from when he was beneath the sun.

This underground treasury was the size of three standard football fields. In this open and spacious area were piles of gold and silver coins as well as various kinds of valuable treasures. The locks on the treasure boxes had already long decayed, and he could see treasures inside those boxes via small cracks. Most of those boxes were filled with gold and silver bars. They seemed to be the military reserve since every human nation generally transported military funds in this way. Compared to the riches in those treasured boxes, the piles of gold coins and silver coins lying about were not so significant.

The gold coins should have been deposited by the rich, and the other silver coins should have been deposited by former residents. Although it had already been over a hundred years, these gold and silver coins could be taken back, melted and recast for modern use. As for the gold bars and silver bars, they could be used directly, saving a lot of the troubles associated with gold and silver coins.

Facing this huge wealth, Clyde was still very calm and carefully observed his surroundings. There were many undead in this underground treasury, and all blocked the path in front. Wearing valuable armor, these undead were obviously not normal corpses. Even after over a hundred years, the luster of those armors still shined like their old selves. The severe test of time had not left any marks on those armors, marking their quality.

Examining those armors, he realized that they bore the logo of Adrian Empire’s imperial guards. In the past, these undead had been members of the Adrian Empire’s Imperial Guard Regiment. Their combat power had been fearsome, and after transforming into undead, they had not forgotten their martial skills. They were still able to freely use martial skills from their lifetime. Unlike most zombies who would not be able to use the skills of their lifetimes, these exceptions were far more dangerous.

After detecting Clyde’s intrusion, the imperial guards surrounded Clyde in a formation. Clyde, however, didn’t attack. He was puzzled by the appearance of this Imperial Guard Regiment. Although Needham Plain had once used to be Adrian Empire’s prime economic region, there was no record of the Adrian Empire’s imperial family appearing here. Why did this Imperial Guard Regiment come here? That was truly suspicious.

“Leave this place; this is not a place you should have come toh!”

“Eh, you all can speak. I just came here to transport something.”

“Leave this place! This is not a place you should have come to!”

“So that’s how it is. Sorry, I must disturb you all.”
