Chapter 131 Search
In the invisible state, Nohir slowly pushed open the door of the restaurant, and then slowly closed it after coming out.
From the perspective of the helmet, it is relatively safe if there are no little devils in the hall, but there are two little devils guarding the passage leading to the second floor.
Although the little devils can't see through the invisibility of their kind, if you go that way, you have to go through the front door to enter the room. However, the noise when opening the door is too big, and it is almost impossible to hide these little sentinels. The risk is too high. It's too high so I can't walk.
Then there are only two routes left. One is to fly out of the Duke's Palace, and then get into each room on the second floor through the window or chimney. This can perfectly avoid surveillance. The disadvantage is that it is more troublesome to go back and forth. , and not all rooms have windows or chimneys.
Another way is to take the kitchen and explore the room through the sophisticated lifting rack system in the kitchen that runs through each room. Because these roads are connected, you can immediately retract after searching one room and search the next room. This is more convenient.
Nohir chose to go to the kitchen. The little devil's tiny body is enough to get into these narrow food delivery channels. Going to this kind of place is not only efficient, but also safe. In the past, there was nothing in the kitchen except saliva. There are no guards or little devils, so there is no need to worry about the sound of opening the door alerting them.
The Duke's Palace is very large. Next to the kitchen is the dormitory of the servants and guards. Perhaps to facilitate midnight attendance or other matters, the doors of these two rooms are not closed tightly.
Nohir walked into the kitchen cautiously, and after looking around, he went directly into the tunnel of the lifting frame. At the same time, he transformed into a spider crawling in the tunnel through the little devil's natural deformation ability.
This form is the most suitable for exploration. In this narrow tunnel, if you fly, there will be a very obvious sound of flapping wings. It is far inferior to spiders that can fly on nearly vertical walls. Climbing, silent little bugs come with ease.
He quickly came to the dining outlet of the first room on the second floor. According to the helmet's perception, there were no devil's thoughts in this room.
In other words, this room may not be worth exploring. After all, there are no guards. However, Nohir still transformed himself into a little devil before exiting the tunnel, then flew invisible and searched the room.
There is indeed nothing of value in Room 1, and the items inside are also very simple. There is only a large bed and a box beside the bed. The box has no lock. Nohir opened it directly, and there was only A few plain clothes and a troll-style rag doll?
This discovery was so unexpected that it even made Nohir unbelievable, so he looked around the room carefully again, and finally he determined that there was really nothing valuable here.
“……”
Nohir returned to the lift tunnel and continued exploring the second room.
Room No. 2, like the previous Room No. 1, has no people or devils, but the room is very elegantly decorated. There is a clean and tidy bed with patterned sheets, and a bed with rose patterns carved on it. Side table, an iron foot bathtub, a cupboard, a fireplace and an iron-sided wooden chest.
A 3-foot-wide (1 meter) 6-foot-high (2 meters) floor-to-ceiling mirror is fixed on the east wall opposite the fireplace. The mirror's lacquered wood frame is carved with patterns of mice, crows and spiders.
Because of these arrangements, Nohill decided to search the room. He first checked the table. After opening the drawer on the table, he found that there were a lot of documents inside. Most of these documents had There was a guy named Amrik Vansampel, and the specific content of the document was about his moneylending business.
Most of these documents are IOUs. Each document has the name of a different person and the amount they owe Amric. The specific amount ranges from a dozen silver coins to hundreds of gold coins. Yes, and the final repayment amount for the smallest one was tripled.
"Maybe with these IOUs I can go to the people above to collect debts, but I don't have that much leisure. This thing is of no use to me, but it's not good to keep it."
Put these pieces of paper away The quality documents were gathered together and placed on the table, ready to be taken with them when they left later. After doing this, they continued to search the room.
He checked under the bed, in the bathtub and in the cupboard, and found nothing except some clothes in the cupboard. Nohill even carefully checked the floor-to-ceiling window to see if there was any illusion or darkness. Doors and the like.
However, it seems that there is no special secret door at present, so Nohir had to go to the iron-sided wooden box.
This time the box was locked. This discovery made Nohir a little excited. After all, being locked meant that there was something valuable inside.
After observing it carefully, Nohir knew that this kind of lock would not be a problem for him. He inserted the pincer on his tail and fiddled with it a few times before opening the box. This time, it did not disappoint him. Expectation, indeed there have been quite a few gains and discoveries.
This box actually contains a lot of money. It is conservatively estimated that there are at least 200 gold coins. In addition to these golden cuties, there are also two trading pins made of pure gold. You must know that a pure gold trading pin is Worth 100 gold coins, this is not a small amount of money. Nohir also found a white bone wood carving box. The box had no lock. After opening it, there was a seal inside, with a line of words engraved on the bottom of the seal.
Stoneheartsneverbleed.
"What's going on? There is a magic aura on this seal, which means that this thing should be the key to the basement treasure house, but didn't Gargas say that this thing should be carried by the Duke? How could it be? Found here?”
Nohir was a little puzzled, but after using the panel to explore it, he found that this thing was really the key to the underground treasure house.
“...Based on those documents, Amrik Vansampel was running a loan business, which meant that he needed to frequently go down to the treasury to get money to maintain his loan income. If you think about it, it’s not surprising that there is a spare key in the treasure box in his room.”
Nohir threw away this important seal, but he didn’t expect that there would be a spare key in the second room. One of the main targets was found directly, and it was the treasure house key that I originally thought would be very difficult to steal.
“I’m lucky, it’s a good start, but I haven’t got the real big deal yet.”
Nohir took the seal and the stack of documents and flew back to the elevator. In the tunnel, it was inconvenient to carry these things for the next action, so Nohir placed them in the passage and turned into a spider again to search other rooms.
This time it was room three. Different from the previous two rooms, not only were there people in this room, but there were at least four little devils scattered in every corner of the room. It was a tough nut to crack.
The spider that Nohir turned into retreated temporarily. He planned to search the rooms without people first, and then explore such densely populated places after searching those rooms.
So he came to room four.
This room is uninhabited and has no bed. There is only a dressing table with a rimmed oval mirror. On it are several bottles of perfume, a brush, some cosmetics, a few needles and rolls. silk.
In addition to these, there is a wooden folding screen with a gilded raptor painting, a black tall wardrobe, and a golden blanket spread in front of the wardrobe.
"It seems to be the dressing room?"
After confirming that there was no danger, Nohill directly transformed into a little devil. After flying out, he started to rummage around here. He found 6 bottles on the dressing table in the dressing room. High-quality perfume, a silver hairbrush inlaid with lapis lazuli, and an amber gold filigree wood jewelry box with a pearl necklace inside.
These things are all valuable items. According to the description on the panel, the value of each bottle of perfume is estimated to be around 20 gold coins. The hairbrush is also very valuable, worth at least 100 gold coins. Even the box It's worth 20 gold coins, not to mention the pearl necklace.
The pearls above are all large and plump, bright, smooth and crystal clear. According to the valuation on the panel, this necklace alone is worth 500 gold coins.
“The luxurious life of a Duke.”
Nohir shook his head at this corrupt and extravagant behavior. Although these things were good, the only things he could take out were probably the necklace and the brush. These two things were of high value and not heavy, even if they were Even the little devil can drag it.
If the box is not discovered after finding it, you can run a few more times to transport these things out.
