Iron Blood Earl Riccianne

Chapter 5. Earl Lycaen Procus (3)

Liquenne nodded her head loudly as if she had no time to reconsider, but Raul was forced to answer with a tearful face.

“I understand.”

When the long, hard story seemed to be shortened, everyone took a long sigh at the same time. Liquor took a big breath and looked around at the five people gathered.

“Well, that's the end of the story. Let's all go do what we used to do. ”

At that moment, Wolf suddenly stood up and said in a loud voice.

“Earl! I've heard such a burdensome talk. Are you sure you want to get drunk? ”

Then Julia smiled and said.

“Oh, you're a good talker. Yeah, and you're gonna be drinking all night. ”

“Hey! When did I! ”

“Rinse! You don't have to look at it. Feron, isn't that what you see? ”

The Feron gives you a glimpse of the Wolf and gives you a quick nod.

“Feron, I can't believe you're out here! ”

Yulia still grumbles at Wolf, who looks like he's been betrayed.

“Hmph, that's how truth works!”

Lycaen, who saw it like that, stood up.

“If you're going to be here, stay and go. And starting tomorrow, make sure Anton uses this office. ”

Anton hurriedly stood up and said.

“I'll take you. ”

“Never mind. Am I a kid who can't even find his way? ”

“But……. ”

“Just rest. ”

While Anton was about to say something else, Lycaen quickly left the office and sighed for a long time.

“Phew! It's a little tight, but it's better this way for now, right? ”

We could talk about it tomorrow. Nevertheless, I called the people today and brought out a hard story to keep them from being hurt.

The current erl is enormous compared to just a few months ago. According to the population, it was only 50,000 to 250,000 in an instant, so it was five times larger.

It made me feel uneasy. It wasn't big, but something came up, and I thought that I might not be sorry for my dead friend. In other words, the anxiety that he would feel satisfied and at ease with reality has been overwhelming.

In other words, he told the story not to Anton, Wolf, etc., but to capture his own mind.

And I was a little sorry, but after doing that, I was relieved.

That was before last night. And Lycaen got busy early in the morning.

Lycaen, who was walking earlier, asked for Raul.

“Have you thought about what you said last night? ”

“Yes? Oh, that's what I'm thinking... ”

“Today is the day. I'll get the report in the morning, so be ready. ”

“Until morning...? ”

Raul nods as if it were natural for Lycaen. And Raul cried out in his heart with tears.

"Wow! Then don't drag me around like this in the morning!" ’

Of course, I could never talk about it without saying something.

How long have you been walking like that? Lycaen suddenly stops walking. Later, when Raul stopped, he saw Dane Prokers, the father of Lycaen, who was now called a former Earl.

“You're out early. Have you been comfortable all night?”

Dane suddenly frowns as Lycaen greets you.

“Yes, Earl. Do you have any idea how embarrassing it was for me to suddenly leave the ballroom? ”

“Haha, I'm sorry. ”

“Anyway, why did you call me to this remote place in the morning? ”

Standing right now at the end of the corridor, through the rear door of the fortified building. Lycaen smiles quietly and opens his visit.

“This way.”

The room was a warehouse with all kinds of junk lying around.

“What business do you have here? ”

Dane frowns slightly and asks. After Dane's appearance, Raul looks around the Federation to see if he feels the same way.

“Wait a moment. ”

Lycaen goes to a corner of the wall and grabs the wall with his hand. A moment later, a brick was pushed to the side with a thumping sound, revealing three layers of cogs.

“Hmm? What in the name of Lycaon...? ”

Dane asked in surprise. However, with a situation like this, it was enough to know that the touching was a secret space hidden in the building, or a secret passageway.

Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock!

The whole wall suddenly pushes back with the noise.

When Raul saw that, he unknowingly retreated behind the blemish. I've heard that there are a few such secret spaces in the villas of nobles, but I've never seen them in person.

Stairs to the basement are pushed out and revealed.

“You may step down.”

Leading the way, Dane and Raul follow slowly.

A lamp hangs on the wall at a constant interval along the stairs and is already lit. It was designed to automatically ignite whether or not he had taken quite a bit of work while creating a secret space.

Dane and Raul were genuinely surprised by these devices and followed behind Licayen.

The stairs were supposed to go down about a level below, and then down the lowest stairwell came another long corridor.

Walking down the corridor, another iron gate emerges, and the door opens as Lycaen turns the cog on the iron door. And what appeared to be beyond the door was a huge room set up underground. In size, it was similar to a large warehouse behind the Resistance Mansion.

Inside, there were ten large wagons, lined up, untied by horses.

Dane looks around the basement and asks.

“Licagien, what is this place? ”

Before answering the question, however, Lycaen approached the cart and peeled off the large cloth covering the top of the cart.

“You should see this first. ”

“Suck!”

“Cough!”

As soon as the cloth peeled off, a groaning sounded out from Dane and Raul's mouth at the same time. What was on the cart seemed like a tremendous value at first glance.

“This, this……. ”

Dane points to the treasures of the cart and says nothing. I've never seen such a spectacular sight in my life. On the other hand, there were nine more wagons still wrapped in cloth. Dane points at you with a suspicious look.

“Licagien... are those wagons too? ”

“That's right. That's about three billion argens in total. ”

“Four, three billion! ”

Dane feels a sudden shortness of breath and stiffens in place. Where did all this great treasure come from all of a sudden?

And then Lycaen explained.

“This is why I went to Mt. Aren, which I didn't tell you about before. ”

“Hmmm... But how can there be so much stuff on Mount Aren...?" ”

“These are, in fact, the relics of Kleus that warped the entire continent 100 years ago. ”

“Kleus...? ”

“Yeah, I was going through some old books, and I stumbled across clues. But I wasn't sure, so I didn't give you a heads up. ”

Dane tilts his head and asks.

“But you came back empty-handed, didn't you? ”

“At that time, the territory had to rush to war, so I had to come empty-handed. I've asked the person who found Kleus' Dungeon to transport it for me. ”

“Are you talking about the wizard Byron, who just stayed in the mansion? ”

“Yes, in fact, half of these treasures belong to Tehaz. Our share is about 1.5 billion argens, half of them. ”

It was clear that it was a huge 1.5 billion. That's five years' worth of money in Bren Kingdom.

“With this money, no matter what happens to the territory in the future, it won't be a big deal. ”

Dane nods slowly in Lycaen's words. On the other hand, I did not forget to ask.

“Even if I have enough money, if I don't make another effort because of it, this money will run out one day. Be very careful about that. ”

“I'll keep that in mind.”

“But how did you find this basement? ”

“Oh, I didn't say that. This is the basement of the warehouse behind the mansion. I used to keep these things in the warehouse, but I accidentally found a passageway down here, and I moved them here to keep them safe. ”

Dane points to the door on the other side and asks.

“Is that the door to the warehouse? ”

“That's right.”

While it was still, Raul cautiously asked Lycaen.

“That's why you said you didn't have to worry about money... yesterday? ”

“Do you think it was something else? ”

“That's not it... but it's hard to make cash right now. ”

“Of course. After 100 years, the fact that it's a trophy doesn't change. ”

“But how do you intend to dispose of this? ”

When Raul asked, Lycaen smiled and asked again.

“Why do you think I brought you here? ”
