Our family is in decline

Chapter 25 Treasure Chest

Lance immediately began to check. As an archaeologist, he naturally did some research on the hidden compartments of buildings. He soon discovered the location of the mechanism. After removing the stone slab, he found a hidden compartment hidden under the desk.

Normally, you can only find it when you sit in this position. It seems that the hall is just a storage room, and the real treasure is here.

After carefully checking to make sure there were no traps, Lance slowly opened the secret compartment and found that there was just a locked iron box inside.

I wanted to pull the box out with doubts, but found that I couldn't lift it at all, so I had to open the lock directly.

He really had the key. He took the strip left by the mayor and tried to open it quickly, but when he opened it, Lance was stunned.

gold! All gold coins!

Even under the weak candlelight, it still shines with dazzling luster.

Everything was forgotten, and Lance couldn't wait to start counting the box of gold coins.

The large box of copper coins in the storage room is estimated to be 20 to 30 gold coins in total, but 115 are counted here.

This huge sum of money is equivalent to twenty-seven thousand six hundred copper coins, which is enough to fill three large boxes like crates.

And it's not that simple. There are not only gold coins in the box, but also packages made of deerskin, which contain citrine, jasper, agate, jade, as well as ruby, sapphire and gold jewelry.

His professional ability allowed him to identify that these items were all old goods, and they were estimated to be worth tens of thousands of gold coins.

It's gold coins instead of copper coins. Those are gold coins that even a big box can't contain!

You don't need to think about it to know that these are all leaked from the hands of the ancestors, and only nobles will hold these things.

Lance also found a thick stack of land deeds in the box. After flipping through it, he found that most of the town was in the hands of the mayor.

But now it becomes his.

There is no doubt that this is a huge sum of money. No matter in the past life or this life, I have never had a similar experience. My heart was beating wildly for a long time and could not calm down.

But what followed was anxiety. He was afraid of losing. He always felt that someone was trying to steal his money. He wanted to take this box with him, or his heart was already tied to the gold coins.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, which almost frightened him to death. Fortunately, it was Susan's voice.

"Sir, everyone is here."

"I'll be right away."

Lance quickly packed up and went outside.

There were already many people in the restaurant, but they were all waiting for him to start eating.

After he had had enough wine and food, he discussed tomorrow's actions with everyone. Neither Disma nor Leonard had any objections. On the contrary, although the veteran did not show the fear of the squad leader, he still had doubts.

"I don't think it's a good idea, it's too risky."

It would be difficult for five people to defeat fifty guards, let alone more than a hundred serfs. This irrational suicide attack reminded him of some bad things. A mature commander should not do this. kind of decision.

Lance didn't lose his temper because of the veterans' doubts and use his identity to force them to perform the mission. That was something only children would do.

Instead, he talked about the intelligence he had collected and relied on it to point out the problems facing the farm.

“First of all, the farm expanded too fast during this period, with the area increasing more than ten times. This resulted in a long distance between the farm where the farmer lived and where the serfs lived.

There are twenty of the guards who manage the serfs. With their efficiency, it is difficult to respond in half a day, so there are not many enemies we really have to face, only in the farm. "

Secondly, what is beneficial to us at this stage is that David is too strong and has caused dissatisfaction among some guards, so we can rely on the conflicts between them to divide them, which will further share our pressure.

As long as we don't give them too much reaction time, we only need to face one or two teams of guards when we invade the farm. We have two crossbows and two short guns as equipment. In terms of strength, I also believe that you are stronger than those guards who are not even as good as mercenaries.

As long as the farmer and David are found and killed, it will be difficult for the remaining ones to organize an effective resistance. "

Lance talked eloquently, highlighting the current situation on the farm, analyzing the rationality of the action steps, and advocating the special operations concept of leveraging strengths and avoiding weaknesses.

Although this plan is risky, the benefits proportional to the risk are also ridiculously high. As long as it can be executed, all battles will be limited to the farm without destroying other buildings. Afterwards, he will harvest a complete farm.

In addition to wanting to control most of the town's food, another reason why Lance was so eager to attack the farm was that David was very extraordinary. He controlled the farm guards in just ten days. If he had been given a little more time, the entire farm might have been destroyed. It will be completely controlled by him, and it will be more difficult to swallow the farm by then.

I have to say that Lance's words moved the veteran. In his long fighting career, such thrilling battles were rare, but he was not afraid of death, but he still gave a reminder for safety reasons.

"Then this mission can be carried out by a few of us, so the lord doesn't have to personally participate in the operation. The danger is really too great."

"No, no, no~" Lance smiled and shook his head, "There are some things that are not convenient to explain to you, but I will be the core of this operation."

As he spoke, he glanced at Disma and Leonard and added.

"And the Hamlets are always on the front lines."

Lance's real trump card for daring five people to attack the farm is his own special ability.

[Sacrifice] can remove corpses and replenish gifts.

If [Blessing] can be used on them, they will be tireless.

[Flesh and Flesh Reconstruction] can heal any injury. As long as the death is not instantaneous, he can snatch the person back from the hands of death.

Noticing Lance's gaze, Disma couldn't help but feel an inexplicable sense of mission, which was something he had never felt before. He couldn't help but straighten up and put on a very serious look.

Keeping secrets and fighting dark evil without the world knowing about it, just thinking about this Disma gives me goosebumps. That is the romance of men.

The veteran looked a little strange and followed Lance's eyes to look at the other two people, but they also looked mysterious and had no intention of explaining anything.

"There are truths that come at a very serious cost, and if you survive this operation and want to know I will tell you."

Of course, Lance noticed the veteran's curiosity, but he didn't mean to tell him directly. It would be interesting to leave some things blank and let the other party take the initiative.

He hates two things the most, one is the Riddler, and the other is that he is not allowed to be the Riddler~
