If Downton wants to steal someone's head, the final blow will definitely not fall into Hu Tao's hands, but he won't fight for it with a little loli.
"Jackson, don't let this happen again."
Throughout the battle, Jackson kept walking around with the Dawnbringer, seemingly trying very hard, but in fact it was of no use.
But Downton knew that it was useless to say this, as this coward would still go his own way.
"Master, I can't open it. It's a magic lock."
Jackson stood in front of the treasure house's door, his face full of pain.
"It's actually a fifty-fold magic lock." Homer lamented, "Even if a dragon-slaying magician comes, it will take more than half a month to crack it, and it may not be successful."
"It's an undead butler and a magic lock. The defense is really tight." Hu Tao couldn't wait to know what was inside.
"I wouldn't be surprised even if there are legendary magic costumes." Downton waited quietly. To be honest, if it weren't for the ancient magic book, even those elite adventure teams would have to come back empty-handed.
Even with Homer's knowledge base, it took nearly half an hour to unlock the magic lock.
Seeing the elemental arm push open the metal door, Hutao rushed to the front, trying to peek through the crack in the door.
"Be careful!" Downton grabbed Walnut's arm and pulled her back, "Use the lighting technique, Jackson and Quasimodo go first."
"You are too cautious. If there are traps in the treasure house, the owner is either obsessive-compulsive or suspicious." Homer teased, "How much time did it take for us to get here?"
"Master, everything is safe!"
Five minutes later, Jackson's report came. The first demon servant was very discerning this time. No matter how excited he was, he did not reach out to touch the treasure, because it was Downton's right.
The treasure house is the size of half a football field and has three floors connected by a spiral staircase.
Downton entered the first floor. The moisture-proof magic circle was engraved on the wall because it was embedded with enough magic stones. It was still functioning.
"Just a few gold bricks?"
Hutao was stunned. More than half of the treasure house was filled with yellow gold bricks. In addition, there were some silver mithril bricks, as well as a large number of gold coins piled in the corner. But after seeing Doshav hiding in the mine, Hutao was stunned.
After winning the gold brick, the little loli felt that it was a bit small.
"It's really not much." Downton compared the gold bricks he got from the Hohenzollern Bank and curled his lips, "Isn't this Duke a poor man?"
"Just be satisfied. The total value of these is about 200 million gold marks." Homer sarcastically said, "Have you ever studied economics? Only money that circulates will produce value."
"What do you mean? Isn't it money that is saved?" Hu Tao was puzzled.
"These gold bricks exist as a minimum gold reserve to maintain the national economy, curb inflation, ensure the credit of the Hohenzollern family, etc." Homer explained, "I estimate that after the undead plague, I will survive.
The owner must have collected gold bricks from the city, otherwise the number would not have been reached."
"It's so complicated. But they are all ours now." Hutao trotted and then rushed towards the gold coins piled up like a hill.
Wow!
Hutao made a swimming gesture. The sound was the sound of gold coins flowing and colliding. This was undoubtedly the most beautiful sound in the world.
"Why didn't the departing owner take them away?" Celes poked a gold brick with her finger, doubts filling her brows, "A Duke shouldn't be short of space equipment, right?"
"What if I lost it?" Homer wanted to roll his eyes, "If Downton hadn't accidentally entered the dungeon and owned me, Lord Homer, who could have come to this treasure house? As long as the wealth of the treasure house is there, no matter what happens to the 'owner'
No matter what setback you have, you can make a comeback."
"Understood!" Celes nodded.
"Pack it all up, let's go to the next floor and have a look!" Downton asked Jackson to clear the way.
"Actually, the most valuable thing in the treasure houses of these great nobles is not the gold bricks, but the precious collections, such as famous paintings, weapons, etc."
Homer returned to the Grimoire state, opened the space gate, and in addition to carrying the elemental arms, he also sent out the hatred. These sturdy men were the most hard-working and uncomplaining workers.
The layout of the second floor is slightly different.
At regular intervals, there are circular stone pillar platforms arranged in a geometric shape, rising in steps from the outside to the inside. This also ensures that standing at the door, you can have a clear view of the trophies placed on the platform.
.
"He is indeed a poor duke!"
Hutao complains, because there are a hundred stone platforms on the second floor, but only a dozen of them have items placed on them.
Downton was noncommittal, as the weapon placed on the innermost platform attracted all his attention.
It can't be said whether it is a battle ax or a saber, because its shape is completely like a long and thick piece of metal with crystal texture on it, which is red, like a blood vessel. The edges are irregular fractures, but they are very sharp, because in the lighting technique
Under the reflection, a cold light shone like starlight.
"Wow, I didn't expect to see Shattered Head and Hundred Fissures here. No wonder I haven't seen this battle ax in the Western Continent for so many years. It turns out that it sank with Polusna."
Homer floated down, and when he saw the battle axe, he couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.
"You recognize it?"
Downton walked up the steps. He liked this heavy battle ax very much. It was nearly one and a half meters long, and the metallic texture gave it a rough and wild beauty.
"Of course, it was the earliest weapon used when Tanan rose to fame." Homer Science said, "It is a very rare plane star stone. It has not been forged, but with Tanan's continuous battles, it has been in frequent battles.
The flesh, blood and bones of the enemy were honed into its current appearance. It can be said that the enemy's life was used to forge this battle axe."
"Tanan? King of the barbarians?" Downton took a breath of cold air, "That is the earliest epic hero besides the Elf Queen since the civilization of the Western Continent was recorded."
Downton couldn't help but be surprised. Tanan was the wisest king of the barbarians. He rose from the grassroots, conquered most of the Western Continent with force, led thousands of races to resist the invasion of evil gods, and then died unexpectedly at the most glorious moment in his life.
The barbarian empire collapsed. Every event he experienced in his short life was a legend enough to be sung.
Even now, bards are still singing about his deeds in taverns. Of course, he is a barbarian after all, and he is too old to be compared with those epic heroes such as Rose of the Demon Palace and Saint of Miracles.
"Yes, the Shattered Head and Hundred Splits was the weapon he used before he was crowned the King of the Barbarians, and it accompanied him for more than ten years."
"How much is this weapon worth?" Walnut doesn't care how famous Tanan is. Her favorite epic hero is Heinrich, nicknamed the Unbreakable Army God.
"Priceless!" Homer wanted to complain about Walnut's value. "The Shattered Head and Hundred Pieces can only be exchanged for weapons of equal value. It cannot be auctioned. Even if you pay a sky-high price, you won't be able to get it."
"Although it is a legendary weapon, its collection value and significance are too great, you know? For the barbarians, it is a tribal sacred object, representing Tanan's personal visit. If they encounter some paranoid barbarians, they will
They believe that the person who holds the Shattered Head and Hundred Pieces is their king, and will unconditionally swear allegiance to him and follow him throughout his life."
"So powerful?" Hu Tao was dumbfounded, "I wonder what the expression of Arnold who went to find his tribe would be like when he saw it?"
"Be careful. This battle ax is a time bomb. Fortunately, the barbarians have retreated to the extreme north. Otherwise, those guys who regard robbery as a commonplace will definitely come and snatch the broken heads and hundreds of broken heads." Homer reminded, "No,
I can guarantee that if the news of your possession of this thing reaches back to the barbarian tribe, there will definitely be guys who are not afraid of death and will cross the vast Tiberian snow plains to cause trouble for you."
"I've been talking about it for a long time, what effect does it have?" Downton stood next to the stone pillar. Seeing that Homer didn't stop him, he reached out to take it, and a cold metallic touch immediately spread along his arm.
"It has only one effect, which is to increase the power, allowing the wielder to unleash double, tenfold, or even a hundredfold increase in damage!" Homer explained in detail, "It is a pure killing weapon.
, it can swallow the blood and soul of the enemy. The more it swallows, the greater its power will be, and it can even kill an entire legion with one blow."
"So powerful?" Hu Tao took the tomahawk and tried the weight. It was surprisingly light.
"It's so powerful that you can't use it. More than a million souls have died under its blade. Wrong souls have gathered together. With the strength of your and Downton's soul power, if you use it, you will get lost in the pleasure of killing, be infected by blood, and lose everything."
The soul becomes its prisoner."
"So scary?" Hu Tao was startled and threw away the battle ax. Downton picked it up, "Is it just left in the war space filled with dust? This is a legendary weapon. It can give me a great improvement.
"
"One minute, this is the limit that you can use after being promoted to the war level." Homer comforted, "The higher the level of the weapon, the better. It's about choosing the right one. You are a paladin, so you should choose the sacred type.
Weapon, actually this battle ax is very suitable for walnut."
"Hey, I don't want it. It's a big metal plate. It's so ugly." Hu Tao is a fan of appearance. As long as she likes the shape, she will be happy to use even an ordinary tomahawk.
"Can Quasimodo use it?" Downton did not forget that he also had a violent thug.
"Don't do it. Its soul has just awakened through the Millennium Altar. It is very weak. Once you get the Shattered Head and Hundred Fragments, it will directly become its puppet. Even you can cut it. When it becomes the Lord of Hate, you can use it.
Already."
If Homer hadn't reminded him, Downton might have done many dangerous things.
"What a pity." Downton was very sorry. He took a glance and found that apart from this battle ax, there was only one staff left on the second floor. There were no other weapons besides this, so he couldn't change it for the time being.
Installed.
"Sister Celes has a new weapon now." Hutao ran over, took the staff glowing with white holy light in his hand, and handed it to the Death Banshee. (To be continued...)
