Lant climbed up the stairs along the road, only to find that the further he went up, the more the layout of the ruins resembled a human castle. The higher the stairs, the higher they were, and the more luxurious the decoration on the ground became.
Along the widest corridor, Lant took out the magic pattern sword and placed it on the wall. From the magic network, he felt the space behind the wall, including the dining room, living room, and some empty rooms. These rooms had been corroded for an unknown amount of time, and there was no trace of magic left in them. They were not worth wasting Rand's time at all.
Even if he was ready for an adventure when he went out, the space ring he could bring out was limited. It was impossible to put it into building materials such as wood, metal, or ordinary furniture. For him, the original purpose of coming here was just a rat. There were monster bones and monster meat in the human camp, but this time the goblin cannon brought him an even bigger surprise.
Finally at the end of the corridor, Lant found a small stair hall leading to the upper floor. After going up, he found that the decoration was obviously more luxurious, and there was a magic circle that was still running on the ground.
"Haha, wonderful!"
A smile appeared on Lant's lips. He came to the right place. There is a magic furnace that can still be used in this ruins. With the magic furnace, this place can become Lant's fulcrum in Hindukel.
This area with magic patterns can be regarded as the core residential area of the lord. From the magic network, Lant could feel the larger bedroom, the magister's meditation room, the library and the almost clean magic material room.
Opening the door to the library, most of the paper books here have long been reduced to ashes. However, the former goblin civilization did not only have a single knowledge storage medium. Half of the thousands of square meters of bookshelves placed a thick A metal plate about one palm in size and as big as A4 paper.
Lant took off a piece and felt that the weight was not as heavy as expected. It was obvious that the inside was not entirely solid metal, but he could not read the contents himself.
In addition to the metal plates, there are some books that can still be opened normally, and there are still several copies of the inner pages in the rand ring. "No wonder panda paper is said to be easy to use. It must be tens of thousands of years old, right? The handwriting on it is actually Is it still so clear?"
Although he didn't understand even half of the goblin text, seeing how complete the panda paper book in front of him was, Lant was still amazed, "No wonder the empire, elves, dragons, and orcs all raise pandas. They are like natural paper machines." !”
At the end of this floor, Lant saw an arched door. Their height must be 7 meters, far exceeding the height of high-ranking human beings. Moreover, he could also detect from the magic network that there was a person behind the door. Huge circular space.
After opening it, you can smell the fresh air outside the cave. The circular hall in front of you is hundreds of meters high. Looking up, you can even see a huge hole with a diameter of more than ten meters at a height of tens of meters. Outside the cave It must be a sinkhole.
There were debris more than ten meters high piled on the ground. It was already night at this time, and the light of March fell into the room, making the whole room pale, so that Lant didn't understand at first what these round shapes on the ground were. What exactly is the flaky stuff.
"Could this be...", the conversation the Goddess of Wealth had with him suddenly reminded Lant of the ruins of the goblin and the still-running magic furnace. Lant took out a piece of disc and weighed it. Is it a gold coin?”
The size and weight are the same as the gold coins issued by the empire today. It is obvious that these are gold coins made by the goblin civilization back then. They are currencies that have not been successfully recovered by the monetary policy enforcers on Red Dragon Rock.
"Didn't those dragons discover this place back then?" Lant estimated the size of this pile of gold coins. I'm afraid it's more than tens of millions of gold coins.
"These things were really capable of interstellar mining back then?" Ever since he learned that this world had a stable gold, silver, and copper currency system, Lant was a little strange. After becoming the court earl, he also heard that there were some gold and silver mines in the empire. , but I have never heard of a minting institution. The gold and silver mines produce more materials for magic processing than currency.
Of course, after communicating with the goddess of wealth, Lant probably understood that as early as the last super civilization, that is, the goblin civilization era, a huge amount of currency had been produced. Although some of them were not real circulating gold coins in name, but It is some kind of token or bond currency, but these financial instruments, known as broad money in Lant's hometown, were minted in the Goblin Era according to the quality of circulating currency.
The massive amount of magic furnaces and massive currencies are one of the reasons why the goddess is now gritting her teeth against the goblins. Previously, the goddess of wealth said that these goblins could carry out interstellar mining, but Lant could not imagine it.
Climbing up the pile of gold coins, Lant saw two demigod-level skeletons. One belonged to a giant dragon. The flesh and blood on the dragon's body was completely gone, leaving only skeletons that were almost jade.
The other one belonged to a goblin, and Lant reluctantly realized that this almost 7-meter-tall skeleton belonged to a goblin demigod. In addition to the bones, there were also staffs and crystal balls that had fallen into the pile of gold coins.
It seems that the actions of the currency enforcers are not smooth sailing. For example, the giant dragon in front of them encountered fierce resistance from goblins of the same level, so that both parties perished together.
"What should I do?"
Rant looked at the remains of the two demigods in front of him and had great hesitation. On the one hand, he really wanted to keep everything here, including the magic furnace, gold coins, and bones. On the other hand, the dragon remains here It shows that Honglongyan has obviously been eyeing this place, although it was probably ten thousand years ago. In other words, if I have calculated everything, I can take away the goblin's bones and magic furnace, but I am afraid that the gold coins and dragon bones will have to be returned to the red dragon rock.
"I really can't bear to part with it!" Lant looked at the dozens of meters long keel and muttered silently in his heart. Suddenly he remembered what the high-level dwarf had said to him before. The legendary dwarf Sherman was greedy for his magic net sword. I don’t even want to see myself. Looking at such a huge keel now, he really wanted to close his eyes.
Although Lant has not made up his mind to inform Red Dragon Rock of everything here, there are still some things that must be done, such as saving some private money first, and then collecting all the bones and equipment of the goblin demigod into the space ring.
What's more, when the dragon broke through the mountain wall, it brought down a large amount of earth and rocks. In the ruins that were pressed under the dragon's body, after thousands of years of influence from the dragon's bones, a large area of dragon's blood grass has grown. These grasses have grown. There are several kinds, but all of them have become magic plants.
When Lie Huo arrived in the circular room, Lant had already taken out dozens of magic pattern breeding tanks and started transplanting dragon blood grass. Facing the mountain of gold coins, Li Huo couldn't stand it anymore: "Lant , if there really is a magic furnace, gold coins, and magic plants here, we should just take over this place!"
"The Orc Royal Court is really fighting with me to death," Lant said with a smile: "Back then, they only owed a few million, and they dared to be armed scoundrels. Now they see tens of millions of gold coins here, and they still haven't mobilized the entire basin. Orcs take over this place?"
