treasure house

As the iron door of the vault opened, Glace took the lead and walked in. After that, Kristin pulled Locke and followed closely behind. This made Edward, who was about to stop Locke, shut his mouth.

The last one to enter was Laffey. Even an outsider like Locke had gone in, so Edward didn't bother with Laffey, who was his maid.

Like a loyal guard, Edward stood guard at the door with his sword.

Locke was dazzled by the golden mountain as soon as he walked into the vault. How much gold would that be? Locke clicked his tongue and thought. After circling the mountain twice, Locke guessed that it must weigh a few tons.

If converted to Gold Derahls, it would be worth hundreds of thousands or even more.

"Stop looking there and come over!" Glace's voice came from afar, urging Locke to go over.

As Locke walked further in, he realised that the golden mountain outside the vault was more decorative than practical. There were rows of shelves inside the vault, each with more than ten squares, and each square had more or less an item.

Unfortunately, most of the squares on the shelves were empty, and Locke couldn't find anything useful even after looking around for a long time.

The people who moved the items out of the vault left in a hurry. Locke picked up a green ring from the corner of a shelf. It was an agate the size of a thumb, and its quality and softness were much better than the ring that Melson had given him.

He secretly stuffed it into his pocket and walked to Glace's side as if nothing had happened.

"What's wrong?" Locke asked Glace, who was standing in front of a wall full of weapons and armours.

"Pick what you need," said Glace. After saying that, Grace stepped forward and took the three golden silk clothes, handing one to Lafite and one to Kristin.

Unlike the other places in the vault, where the items were mostly moved, the weapons and armours hanging on this wall were rarely moved, especially the heavy armours.

A set of dark blue armour in the shape of a pin caught Locke's attention. There was a giant shield in the centre, a full set of arm and leg guards on both sides, and an inlaid card slot on the back. A huge spear the size of a bowl lay quietly on the back.

After looking at the armour for a long time, Locke stepped forward to move it, but it didn't budge.

"Are you sure you want this?" Glace asked Locke with a strange look on her face. It seemed to be saying, can you afford it? Can I wear it?

When Locke heard Glace's tone, he immediately refused to accept it. Circulating the Dou Qi in his body. "Hah!" Locke hugged the dark blue armour, the veins on his arms bulging. Just like that, the huge armour was lifted by Locke.

After roughly feeling the actual weight of the armour, Locke put it down. * Thud! * The armour landed on the ground with a slight vibration.

Locke had seen this armour many times during the siege. It was the style of Shalor's imperial guards, but those iron shells were nothing compared to this one.

"This is specially made for the commander of the Iron Guard," Grace explained. "There are only two of them. One was given to the commander of the Imperial Guards, and the other is kept here as a backup."

"This is armour that only high-rank Knechts and above can wear. Are you sure you want to use it?" Glace doubted his choice.

"That's it!" Locke pointed at the armor he had just put down and said firmly.

Glace said that only high-rank Knechts and above could wear it, which was obviously a layman's understanding. It wasn't like Locke hadn't experienced it before. Although he couldn't wear this big thing with his current physical strength, he could still manage it as long as he continued to circulate impetus.

Based on Locke's current impetus reserves as a low-rank Knecht, he could probably fight for about half an hour in this armour.

In this half an hour, Locke would be like an impenetrable iron shell. Unless the opponent had a weapon that could cut through iron like mud, or was a high-rank Knecht who could use impetus, they wouldn't be able to hurt Locke.

Choosing was one thing, but how to take it away was another. Locke couldn't possibly carry this big thing on his back all the time.

Glace ignored Locke, who was still racking his brains, and continued to walk deeper into the treasury. The deeper they went, the fewer shelves there were and the fewer empty spaces on the shelves. There was even a shelf with only one empty space. Of course, the things inside were long gone, probably taken away by someone else.

Finally, she walked to the innermost side and saw a row of two-metre-long crystal cabinets. There were jewelry boxes in them, but most of them were empty. Only two of them had something inside.

In one of the jewelry boxes was a fragmented crystal necklace with a pink heart inlaid in the middle, and in the other box was a shiny silver ring.

"Fortunately, there are still two left." Glace let out a long sigh of relief. She could guess that Felippe had specially left them for her and Kristin. Otherwise, her siblings and uncles would have taken away such good things a long time ago.

The reason why more than half of the things in the treasury were gone was because most of them were easily taken away by other members of the margrave's family.

Felippe's caravan was filled to the brim with seeds for his heirs to develop and grow again. With such wealth, the members of the Felippe family would be able to rise again no matter which country they went to.

"Kristin!" Glace called out to the little girl.

"Come, pick one." She opened her palm and revealed two precious jewelry.

"Wow!" Kristin's eyes instantly lit up. As a child who grew up in the margrave's family, Kristin naturally knew what these two things were.

"I want this!" Kristin pointed at the heart-shaped fragmented crystal necklace and tilted her head to sneak a glance at Locke, who was not far away.

Glace didn't say much and directly put the necklace around Kristin's neck. Coupled with this exquisite necklace, Kristen's beauty had once again risen to a whole new level.

The little girl showed off for a while, then carefully stuffed the exposed necklace into her underwear. Kristin was very sensible and knew not to be ostentatious. However, her heart felt like it was being scratched by a kitten, and she would take it out from time to time to play with it.

Glace walked to Locke, who was still scratching his ears and cheeks, thinking about how to take the armor away. "I'll help you carry this armor!" Glace said quickly. The silver ring on the ring finger of her left hand flashed, and the armor that was 1.5 meters long and half a meter wide disappeared into thin air.

This move shocked Locke, who was next to her.

"Spatial equipment." Glace waved her hand and revealed the ring that she had just obtained.

Shalor's magical heritage was not just for show. They actually had such precious spatial equipment. Felippe's title of 'God of Fortune' was not in vain. This margrave's wealth was not inferior to the Shalorian royal treasury.

Locke knew that although Angelina, as a princess, had a few magic items on her, she didn't have any spatial equipment.

Spatial equipment had always been a relatively high-end magic tool. Only those who were above the rank of high-rank Lehrlings and proficient in spatial magic and alchemy could produce them.

Shalor was very lucky. Not only did they have many masters who were above the rank of high-rank Lehrlings, but they also had a Magister. One of the Magister's beloved disciples was an alchemist. Most of Shalor's precious magic items, such as spatial equipment, were made by this alchemist.

"It's a pity that there's no extra space for other things after putting this armor in," said Glace. The ring on her hand was considered a small masterpiece among spatial items. It could store two cubic meters of items, but even so, it was still not enough.

"Fortunately, there are two." Glace turned to look at Kristin.

Locke also looked over. Kristin was still playing with the necklace that she had just obtained.

.....

When Locke, Glace, and the other two girls came out, their appearances had changed drastically. Although he couldn't wear the armor, Locke still chose a lot of things that he could use now.

He wore a red cloak and a pair of silver cloud boots made of fine iron. He didn't want to be so flashy at first, but on second thought, the war was about to be won, and there probably wouldn't be any more battles in the future, so he decided to wear it. Of course, he wouldn't admit that he chose these two because they were magic items.

The red cloak's toughness could withstand ordinary arrows, and it was imbued with Featherlight, which reduced Locke's weight by a third.

On the other hand, the boots were imbued with Gale, which could increase walking speed by a quarter. When activated, it could instantly double the speed.

As for the armour and weapons, Locke didn't choose them. He had tried the weapons and armour in the treasury, and they were similar to what he was wearing now. His large sum of military merit wasn't spent in vain.

Although Glace and Kristin were still wearing Faustian uniforms, they had changed a lot on the inside. All three of them were wearing golden silk robes, and Locke didn't know what other equipment they had.

Kristin was holding her necklace with a silly smile, and he knew that there was a lot of stock inside.

Laffey, on the other hand, chose an armour and a longsword. She was also a knight who trained in impetus, so the equipment she chose was very suitable for her.

Edward, who was outside the door, straightened his back the moment he saw the four of them coming out.

"Edward, look after my father," said Glace as she walked past Edward.

"Yes, Miss!" As the head of the family guards that Felippe had secretly trained, Edward was loyal to Felippe. This time, the rest of the margrave's relatives were preparing to leave with the convoy, and only Edward and his group of loyal followers stayed with the margrave.

"Miss, Count Maxi and the others are already at the side door …" said Edward.

Glace waved her hand and interrupted, "I won't go with them." Count Maxi was Glace's brother and Kristin's father. At this time, not only her, but even Kristin wouldn't go with her father.

By the way, Glace was actually also a countess, an honorary countess of Shalor.

After rejecting Edward's reminder, Glace turned to look at Locke. Kristin also tugged at the corner of Locke's clothes. Laffey was Glace's maid, so of course she would go wherever Glace went.

Locke saw the situation and knew what it meant.

"Let's go, let's get out of the city first!" said Locke.
