Chapter 1092: Opening the Herasil Secret Treasure
As early as May 28th, Aiwass and Yulia had arrived in Xingtan Territory.

The main purpose of their trip was to accompany Yulia to open the Herasil Vault. After that, they would contact Landon Venez von Bayard and find the holy sword that the Moriarty family had stored there.

The first goal can be accomplished in just one day.

Because the entrance to the secret treasure of Herasil is under the Triumph Palace in Lionheart City.

The first Valentine chose to build the Palace of Triumph in this place in order to prevent others from obtaining the secret treasure of Herasil and gaining the power to resist the rule of Star Antimony.

And if the palace is built here, it can effectively prevent wild dogs from nowhere from opening the secret treasures.

The way to open the secret treasure of Heracles is the blood of the Heracles family - it cannot be dead, it must be fresh.

The scepter of King Star Antimony itself is a key.

Insert it into the only gap in the basement, inject six types of magic power evenly... and the ground will roll over.

Runes flowed across the land, unlocking one protective barrier after another.

This part of the protection was not made by the Herasil people, but a sealing device made by the first generation of Valentine. This scepter is the key to hide the Herasil secrets.

With a complex sound of mechanism, the ordinary ground turned into a huge machine made of complex golden structure. They were in the middle of the scene, stepping on a small disc. A propped up golden disc appeared in front of them, rotating - reminding Aiwas of the self-service machine with a touch screen.

There are many runes and codes on it, which are too complex to be deciphered. It is the real "door lock" of the Herasil secret treasure.

Even after all these years, it is still spinning, emitting a strange dark golden glow.

——Scholars have tried to crack this mechanism for a long time, but they still cannot crack it by brute force, nor can they analyze the coding rules. It is too sophisticated, and any violence may cause the mechanism to self-destruct; and they simply cannot understand what rules this device is based on...

Perhaps the mages of Narcissus Territory can solve this problem. It is just a simple math and coding problem. It is not difficult for them to find the backdoor and crack it. For the mages with the assistance of the Mage Tower, this amount of calculation will probably take less than a few months.

But just like the cause of the demise of the Star Antimony Kingdom, the Valentine family would never allow the wizards of Narcissus Territory to access this device. It was related to the Herasl Secret Treasure, which was a huge fortune enough to establish a country.

Only members of the Valentine family can touch it.

This is also the reason why the Valentine family would give priority to choosing a powerful alchemist as their successor: they still hope that a genius will emerge among the descendants of the family to solve all these problems.

This puzzle has also stumped generations of Valentines.

But the solution to this puzzle is unconventional... its real use is just to inject the blood of Hercules.

Yulia cut her palm in front of the golden disc and let the blood drip slowly from her fingertips onto the compass.

The sticky blood dripped.

When the blood fell on the compass, the compass suddenly shone with golden light, illuminating the dim space.

Then it began to spin and disintegrate - blood was poured into the hidden pipe in the middle.

Afterwards, runes lit up one by one.

There are four huge gems in the basement, which are gradually lit up.

Green, red, blue, yellow.

Four colors of gem lights lit up——

It is said to be a simple code.

It was supposed to be a puzzle, but in order to prevent anyone from solving it and obtaining the secret, the original question was destroyed by the Valentine family. However, the answer has been successfully cracked by the Star Antimony Royal Family - the correct password is three red, two yellow, one blue, and four red. A second person is required to hit the gems in order to activate the mechanism. When the password is entered correctly, a vague portal trembles in the air.

Yulia still needs to keep dripping blood slowly and stand in front of the disc. As long as the blood injection stops, the portal will close.

The ones who entered the secret vault were Aiwass and Noel, the last queen of Xingtan.

She was very curious about the Heracle Vault and wanted to know what kind of treasure was hidden inside. Hong Xiang had brought a heart of Hercules before and entered the Heracle Vault through it. Because it didn't last long, he came out soon.

Since then, he has been obsessed with it.

But when asked what was inside, he just smiled and said nothing.

He also took out several secret books from it... This made Noel very curious. But since then, they have never obtained the blood of Hercules again. Therefore, they have been unable to open the secret door of the treasure.

So at Aiwas's invitation, she immediately agreed to come and witness the miraculous day when the Herasil Vault was opened.

This portal seemed to be some kind of ancient teleportation method - there was a violent pulling and strong impact when entering. It was like being in the trunk of a car, and the car was going off-road. When the violent dizziness ended, they were teleported to a vault without doors or windows.

——This is a huge underground vault.

It's shaped like a reservoir... except it's filled not with water, but with gold.

The gold was neatly cast into gold bricks and placed in the "vault". Because we don't know how deep the "reservoir" is, we have no idea how much gold is inside it.

Other than that, there's almost nothing in it.

"So, it's just like this..."

Noelle murmured softly, "Only gold?"

She was a little disappointed.

Although this is indeed a wealth that rivals that of a country - this astonishing gold reserve may even exceed the total national wealth of Star Antimony. After all, this is the total wealth of the Helasar Empire for more than a thousand years, so this level is not surprising.

She actually felt that it was a little too little... because it was just gold after all. This level of gold might be useful to a country, but it was meaningless to an individual - even if the amount was reduced a hundred times, it would never be spent.

This is a great gift for the newly born New Helasar Empire.

If Xingti had been able to open the Herasil Vault, it wouldn't have been on the verge of collapse and forced to go to war due to economic problems...

——But what about the tantric books?

What about the other treasures? Are there any extraordinary items?

"You want to find treasures from the extraordinary world?"

Aiwass just smiled: "It's simple..."

As he said this, he pointed to the vault and said, “It’s all down there.

"The reason is very simple - supernatural objects will wear out over time, so they need to be placed in a barrier that isolates the inside and the outside. And this gold is another barrier, used to prevent the wear and tear of supernatural concepts...

"This gold is just the lid."
