Chapter 112 - 112: 112: Rolandel 1
Upon hearing this, Leo Ray, who had already grown a bit drowsy, couldn’t help but perk up with his eyes shining brightly, saying, “Take me there quickly.”
Under Mason Banks’s guidance, accompanied by Linda and Taylor, they proceeded forward along the lengthy stone corridor. Leo Ray paid further attention as they went.
This City Lord’s mansion was actually a small castle with three levels, with the hall they had just been in at the center of the first floor.
The treasure vault, however, was located in the deepest part of the third floor.
As they approached, Leo Ray saw that the thick metal door of the treasure vault had already been opened, and several fully-armed Trading Conference guards were stationed at the entrance.
On the other side, upon seeing their new Lord Leo Ray arrive, the guards immediately bowed respectfully. Leo Ray nodded in response and then went straight in.
As they entered the spacious 100-square-meter treasure vault, everyone couldn’t help but exclaim.
They saw exquisite paintings hanging on the walls, and in rows of transparent display cabinets, various golden and silver items filled the space, making the area resemble a marvelous museum.
After looking around, Leo Ray noticed that these items were mundane valuables, devoid of any attributes. However, a small door in the corner was particularly eye-catching.
Upon nearing it, they saw that the seemingly ordinary wooden door’s surface occasionally flashed with colorful magic lights, clearly concealing mysteries.
“My Lord, this door has multiple layers of magical restriction. It is better for your subordinate to handle this!”
As Leo Ray noticed this, Scarlett stepped forward, adjusted her witch hat, and vigorously said.
Ever since obtaining the Tier 4 magic wand, she had been exhilarated and longed to use her powers at any time to satisfy her excitement.
Leo Ray nodded slightly and said, “Be careful.”
On the other side, Scarlett, holding the Tier 4 magic wand, raised her face confidently and patted her chest before turning around to chant an obscure spell.
Soon, a fiery red light point appeared suddenly on the surface of the heavily restricted door.
As Scarlett’s incantation grew more intense, the red light point slowly expanded until it covered the entire wooden door.
In a moment, accompanied by a sound similar to breaking chains, all the magical lights vanished simultaneously, and the door opened by itself.
“Well done.” Leo Ray patted Scarlett’s head through her witch hat and entered the room with Taylor and Gideon Black by his side.
Upon entering the slightly smaller storage room, Leo Ray couldn’t help but be stunned.
What filled his vision was a sea of gold coins.
It seemed that the City Lord had indeed not skimped on his collection, having amassed a large trove of loot.
Leo Ray gave a faint smile, lightly patted the space bracelet, and continued looking around.
Next, he discovered numerous Tier 3 weapons and equipment on several beautiful weapon and armor racks, just in time to replace the 30 pieces they had given away earlier.
“I just gave away 30 pieces of equipment, and now they’re back? Of course, this is without upgrading. As for upgrading, I’ll deal with that later.”
Having made up his mind, Leo Ray found an exquisitely forged and extremely sharp Tier 4 longsword on the weapon rack in the deepest part of the room. “I didn’t expect there to be a Tier 4 weapon.”
Upon seeing this, without any hesitation, Leo Ray began the upgrading process.[Congratulations, your ‘Tier 4 Weapon: Flashing Blade’ has been upgraded to ‘Tier 5 Weapon: Rolanddel’!]
“It’s undergone a qualitative change and directly became a Tier 5… It seems that the four quantitative changes from the six Recruitment Orders last time were indeed accumulating luck for this.” Leo Ray was delighted and surprised as he summoned the brilliantly shining and exquisitely crafted longsword into his hand.
Upon closer inspection, the size of this Tier 5 longsword was almost identical to the Tier 3 Flowing Light Sword Leo Ray currently wore.
However, its level of refinement and the lustrous texture of the sword body were clearly much higher than the latter, even emitting an inexplicable sense of sacredness, like a perfect work of art.
Caressing the slightly icy sword body, Leo Ray couldn’t wait to open the weapon’s attribute column.
[Name: Rolanddel] [Grade: Tier 5.Extraordinary (Silver)]
[Attack Power:
[Additional Effect 1: Indestructible Edge ‘Never wears out, this sword cannot be damaged under any conditions’]
[Additional Effect 2: Angel’s Blade ‘Damage to enemies with dark attributes increased by 100%’]
[Remarks: One of the Three Holy Artifacts of a lost empire, also known as the
Constant Sword. It was once the sword of the Tier 5 Holy Knight, Lucas Duran.
After his fall, the sword was said to have been cast into a lake.]
“What a good weapon. It has two special effects, one of which is the never-breaking feature. It’s simply a must-have for home and travel.” Leo Ray took off his previous Tier 3 Flowing Light Sword and happily replaced it with the new Rolanddel, saying, “Also, judging from the remarks, it’s one of a three-piece set. I wonder if there will be any special effects once the set is complete.”
After that, Leo Ray, who had emptied the Treasure Vault of useful items, returned to the first-floor hall with everyone.
At this moment, it was past midnight, yet the hall was still brightly lit.
At this moment, Leo Ray knew clearly that he still had a lot of work left unfinished.
“Linda, while I am not here, I will leave you in full charge of Cyan Town.”
Summoning both the pretty female knight dressed in white knight attire and the robust old man dressed in a brocade robe, Leo Ray pondered for a moment.
He then instructed, “As for Mr. Mason Banks, please assist Linda on the side. I’ll give you a series of forging tasks later. There’s no need to worry about materials; I’ll supply enough.”
“Yes, my Lord!” The two of them bowed and saluted.
“Linda, what are your thoughts on the Coldflame Kingdom’s subsequent actions, given the current situation?”
Leo Rav took a sin of his soring water and asked.
“My Lord, after your previous arrangements, the Coldflame Kingdom will definitely not attack us given the tense situation on their border battlefield.”
Linda thought for a moment and then replied, “In my opinion, the Coldflame Royal Family will soon send an envoy to appoint you as the new City Lord, granting you all the rights as a City Lord in order to keep us stable.”
“Therefore, as long as we can fulfill our tax obligations, the other party should not make any moves against us unless the situation on the border battlefield is stabilized.”
“Very good. Let’s take advantage of this time to quickly develop ourselves. At the same time, we’ll take the opportunity to figure out the exact strength and troop deployment of the other party and the surrounding towns, to be prepared for any eventuality,” Leo Ray said thoughtfully, nodding his head.
He continued, “Furthermore, regarding the issue of taxes within the city, whether it is for merchants or civilians, reduce them all to the normal level of the Coldflame Kingdom.”
“In addition, we can also provide some preferential measures for the merchants in order to further develop Cyan Town, as long as we can maintain a balance of revenue and expenditure.”
Nodding slightly to the two of them, Leo Ray summarized, “In short, I am not concerned about the taxes yet. The key is to stabilize the people’s hearts and the merchants.”
“Yes, my Lord!” Linda and Mason Banks saluted once more, having already witnessed the vast wealth of the Lord earlier.
“Linda, one last question. As for your Sanders Family’s reaction, what do you think?”
After pondering for a moment, Leo Ray asked the beautiful female knight standing before him..
