Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

Cold air flowed out of the tunnel, but fortunately there was not much dust.

It can be seen that S Kazan himself often enters and exits this underground secret passage.

The air circulating inside is relatively fresh, not as turbid as the underground ruins Zong Shen once entered.

This is an exploration experience that only adventurers can have. A large amount of information can be analyzed just from the air.

Lais Kazan led the way, still wearing the bathrobe, walking diagonally downward along the cold stone steps with his bare feet.

The main body of the tunnel is located twenty or thirty meters underground.

It has been dried and sealed.

There are many underground water caves under the giant city of Lentax.

Some of them reach directly to the ground, some are two or three meters above the ground, and some are distributed from tens to hundreds of meters underground.

Therefore, there are many wells in the giant city of Lentax.

Including the small lake in the Earl of Leith's manor, it is essentially an underground cave that overflows.

As for the city sewers, they bypass the areas where the caves are located.

An artificially constructed underground passage is formed.

But this did not prevent the nobles from digging the ground in their respective manors or castles and building secret passages or chambers.

Most intelligent creatures have a natural sense of security underground.

It is said that this is the blood's trust in the Mother Earth.

Going along the tunnel, it's not a gloomy place, but the temperature is a bit low, but it's not worth mentioning for Zong Shen's strong body.

Even Lys Kazan himself could easily withstand the cold air in the tunnel.

After advancing a few hundred meters along the tunnel, the two came to see the secret room underneath the manor.

This secret room is the magic interference area located under the manor's clearing in [Vientiane Insight].

There must be more than one secret room in the manor, but judging from Lis Kazan's performance, this should be a more important place.

So he took Zong Shen to this underground secret room first.

The secret room in front of the passage is closed by a solid rune door.

Earl Lys approached and stretched out his hand, gently touching the specific runes on the door.

Then the entire door moved sideways to the right, and the mysterious treasure house located underground was completely displayed in front of Zong Shen.

Count Lais turned around and asked Zong Shen for instructions.

"Sir, this is the core secret room in the manor, and it is also the vault where I used to store my savings."

Although Lys Kazan is a heroic talent, he did not receive the relevant privileges before joining the territory.

Not only is there no convenient storage compartment, there is also no ability to quickly collect dinars and convert them into a string of monetary figures.

So the natives either built vaults to store those dinars, or they used magic storage chests.

Of course, they sometimes use storage jewelry for preservation.

However, the monetized dinar actually takes up quite a lot of space, especially when the amount becomes larger.

Most of the big business owners in the city have tens of millions of dinars, and even if they were all exchanged for 100 denomination steel coins, they could fill a warehouse.

What's more, the aboriginal people cannot convert and extract it into specified currency denominations at will, so there are steel coins of various denominations.

Accumulated together, the number becomes extremely large.

The most reliable way is to combine multiple methods to save money.

Including using storage jewelry, placing magic storage chests and building vaults.

The underground vault where money is needed stores most of Earl Leith's wealth.

The light of the white crystal stone illuminated the vault in the secret room very brightly, and Zong Shen followed Lais Kazan into the vault.

The entire vault occupies a large area. It is comparable to a medium-sized warehouse.

The walls are lined with various shelves, which mainly contain various types of gems, jewelry and exquisite antiques excavated from ruins.

As part of Lys Kazan's collection, there are many treasures among these jewelry and antiques.

In addition, there are a large number of dinars, which are piled up like mountains and look quite spectacular. You can almost catch a handful of dinars casually.

Zong Shen's expression remained calm. He had a relatively weak concept of wealth. In the past, even if he got money, it would only be reflected in a string of balance figures on his storage compartment.

So when he saw so much money, he felt it was a bit exaggerated, but he was not surprised at all.

The vault is well sealed, not damp, but a little too dry.

Without any hesitation, Zong Shen began to quickly collect the accumulated dinars in front of Count Lais.

Lines of prompts flashed quickly.

[Collect dinars, balance +100]

…

[Collect dinars, balance +1]

…

[Collect dinars, balance +20]

…

He collected dinars of different denominations.

Finally converted into a balance number.

At the same time, the pile of coins was visibly decreasing.

There seems to be an extra funnel beside the mountain of money that cannot be filled no matter what.

Count Lyce's heart was bleeding.

These are his savings.

Usually when he doesn't spend it, he always feels like he can't spend it all, but now that Zong Shen takes action to collect it, it still makes him feel painful.

This is probably the so-called "you don't know how to cherish until you lose it".

Moreover, when Zong Shen collected the money, he also received a loyalty change reminder from Count Lais.

[Hero Lys Kazan’s loyalty to you is reduced by 3 points, and the current loyalty point is 57 points]

…

It only lowered 3 loyalty points, which is not a big problem. As long as the loyalty points are not lower than 50 points, there will be no rebellion.

Zong Shen ignored him and just focused on collecting the dinar.

Originally, he thought it was fast to charge the dinars from the storage compartment quickly.

But it wasn't until now that he realized that it wasn't fast enough!

Faced with a mountain of dinars, he collected only about a quarter of them after several minutes of continuous collection, and the balance had increased by four to five million.

It is conservatively estimated that there is at least 15 million to 20 million dinars of wealth piled in this vault!

All of them were obtained by Count S. Kazan through various black and gray assets and robbery over the years.

It took Zong Shen almost fifteen minutes to collect all the dinars in the vault.

Without the dinars, the space in the vault has become much emptier.

There were actually a lot of fake coins on the ground.

These counterfeit coins cannot be collected and all fall to the bottom.

Looking around, it actually covers a large area of ​​ground.

For Aboriginal people, receiving counterfeit currency is inevitable.

With such a huge amount of money, it is impossible to say that there are no counterfeit coins in it.

Count Lais Kazan, who was standing behind him, looked a little pale.

He seemed to have accepted his fate, but he certainly wasn't in a good mood.

After collecting the dinars, Zong Shen walked towards the shelves again.

Among the handicrafts, antiques and magic jewelry here, there are many magical items of high level.

Zong Shen activated the strategy module and quickly scanned every item. If he found that there were levels and attribute descriptions, he asked Count Lais to take them down and stack them together.

Among the hundreds of collectibles, a total of thirteen are magical items or equipment.

The rest can only be regarded as handicrafts and antiquities.

It can fetch a good price at auction among the aborigines.

Zong Shen thought for a while, but took out [Pascal Contract's Big Bag (Gold)] and collected all the handicrafts and antiquities, keeping them and selling them to the aborigines for cash later.

After this screening and collection, the entire underground vault suddenly became extremely empty.

Most of the counterfeit coins on the ground are made of black iron and mixed alloys.

In fact, the workmanship is really not that good, but if you can’t bear to charge too much, you will always get lost.

In terms of proportion, the number of counterfeit coins in this batch was not large. Zong Shen was too lazy to collect the counterfeit coins, so he just left them here to gather dust.

His eyes were focused on the thirteen carefully selected items.

There are both magical jewelry and rare objects, as well as various types of equipment left over from ancient times.

You must know that those beautifully decorated equipment can often be collected as handicrafts.

The aborigines did not have a complete detection system. In layman's terms, they did not have enough eyesight.

This is especially true for antiquities excavated from ruins.

Most of them are regarded as handicraft appraisals by them. They mainly care about the decoration, craftsmanship, age and ethnic origin of the manufacturing, and do not care whether they are usable equipment or rare objects.

This is the difference between them and the lords.

Therefore, it is entirely possible to pick up a large leak in the treasure house of the aboriginal people.

Of course, don’t have too high expectations for levels.

Items of gold and below may be collected, but items of brilliance level and demigod level will definitely be used as a weapon, directly equipped or carried on the body.

However, Zong Shen still has many opportunities to make mistakes.

As he stared, golden subtitles quickly appeared in his mind.

Zong Shen was surprised to find that there were many golden and orange equipment among them.

There are even two shining super magic items and jewelry.

But these are not the focus. The most important thing are those items marked as [Unknown] and [Special].

These are two special levels that often have strange effects and origins.

It is a truly unknown object to the Aboriginal people.

But for the lord, the "unknown" here must be in quotation marks.

Especially with the blessing of information, a seemingly ordinary [unknown] item may be an important prop to open some ancient ruins or treasure house.

This is not the first time Zong Shen has come into contact with such items, so he is particularly experienced in it.

With anticipation in his heart, he scanned each item one by one.

[Thunder Fire Point Dagger (Orange)]

[Audax Soul Locking Arrow (Orange)]

【Green Heart (Gold)】

[Five-Colored Gemstone Shield (Glory Level I)]

[War Blade of the Everlasting Sun (Gold)]

[Shadow Poison·Black Pattern Light Armor (Gold)]

[Gorgeous Crystal Wall Guardian Ring (Gold)]

[Bertus’ Fire Book (Glory Level II)]

[Apollo Bird's Feather Cap (Orange)]

[Bloodthirsty Holy Grail (Special)]

[Ancient amber sealing mysterious blood (unknown)]

[Key fragment of Dragon Tomb secret realm (unknown)]

[Elegy Stone (Special)]

…

Count Les Kazan's coffers contained nothing inferior.

Everything that can be collected by him, without exception, is an item of exquisite workmanship and gorgeous decoration.

Or embedded with gems and orbs, it looks extremely precious and dazzling.

Gorgeousness doesn’t just mean appearance. In fact, those higher-level precious items are generally gorgeous.

Moreover, Zong Shen only found a dozen useful items out of hundreds of collections, which was not a high proportion.

But at any rate, all the items that appear in the treasure house have passed the first selection of Count Leith.

Therefore, it is not enough to find so many magical objects and high-level equipment.

The exquisitely crafted high-end equipment looks no different from handicrafts.

It’s just that there aren’t too high-level beings here.

Many seemingly simple items were also outside the scope of his collection.

Therefore, what you can find here are basically things that look very gorgeous, exaggerated, and full of jewels.

No matter what, it is an extra gain for Zong Shen.

Now that Earl Lais has joined the territory, this manor has naturally become his stronghold.

So there is no need to rush in the future schedule.

Later, just let Xiao Heizi go out of the city to pick up the third daughter and England before dark.

He could even send a carriage belonging to the count and leave the city, ignoring the curfew.

Zong Shen raised his hand and put the thirteen more valuable items into the storage compartment first.

Then he patted Earl Leith on the shoulder and gently raised the corners of his mouth.

"Come on, show me your other vaults."

"And of course the ones you put in your storage jewelry."

…

More than half an hour later, Zong Shen sat in the study at the heart of the manor.

This is also one of the shielded locations with magical interference.

Sitting at the large desk, there were two storage necklaces, three storage rings and a storage bracelet in front of him.

In addition, he has visited all the secret rooms in the manor.

Including the dinars stored in these storage jewelry, Zong Shen received a total of more than 30 million dinars from Rais Kazan.

In fact, Earl Lyce's total wealth is far more than that.

He also has several land deeds in the giant city of Lentax, and even has a pretty good manor property in the giant city of Garrison to the west.

The value of the land deed is relatively limited to Zong Shen, and he prefers cash.

But apart from dinars, there was no other gain in the follow-up.

Collections and the like are all in secret rooms underground.

In addition, there is a set of full-body knight armor passed down from the Kazan family in the study.

But the grade is not high and the wear is very serious.

The commemorative significance was greater than the practical significance, and coupled with Earl Leith's plea, Zong Shen did not take it away.

In addition, he also left one million dinars to Count Les, which at least left him a hair.

Anyway, Count Lais will have to live in the territory from now on. This million dinars is enough for him to live a relatively comfortable life after the aboriginal reform.

Moreover, Zong Shen is planning to open several erotic hotels in his territory.

When the time comes, Lais Kazan will still have a woman to accompany him as long as he pays.

Of course, he could also choose to calm down and find a peaceful female citizen to marry.

This million is still very useful.
