Have you had enough, Miss Vampire? It's time to get down to business.

Soon, Lor touched something.

"Is this... a handle? A dagger?" He confirmed the outline of the object bit by bit. "A weapon invisible to the naked eye... Hmm, that's quite interesting."

Lor took out a handkerchief, carefully wrapped the dagger, and then put it into the storage bag.

Thus the Duke of Canbury's body was completely touched.

"Finally, I have something to ask you." He looked at the Duke's soul, which was still on standby, and asked, "Before you came here, did you know what was in this 'treasure house'?"

"Yes."

The translucent figure replied:

"I learned from the internal information of the Fighter Alliance that before its death, the 'Dragon God' left behind an egg, which contained a part of its soul and power... It could be said to be its clone.

“It is said that this egg is enshrined in a secret underground treasure house, and many dragons guard it until their death…but its exact location has always been unknown.

"After hearing that a large number of dragon bones appeared on the black market, I realized that someone might have discovered the location of this treasure trove. So I planned to capture Benjamin Bane, who knew the secret, and force him to bring us here."

"So, where is Benjamin Bane now?" Lor frowned. "Could he have been eliminated by you?"

"Not yet." The translucent Duke's soul shook his head. "Considering that he might be needed on the return trip, to be on the safe side, let him stay in a relatively safe place far away and wait for orders... My men have controlled him with extraordinary power, so he won't escape without permission."

Phew, I'm glad you're okay.

Lor felt a little relieved.

After all, this Benjamin Bane is the father and husband of the two people who reported the case in the Gordon City Church. Although he is an illegal supernatural being, he has not done anything bad. He just sold dragon bones privately and made a small fortune.

If he died like this, Lor would feel a little guilty.

"Before I leave, I'll check on him." Lor thought to himself, "I'll leave the rest to my colleagues at headquarters... Well, if nothing unexpected happens, they should be here soon."

After that, he spent some time picking up the remains of several other mid-level transcendents.

Mrs. Windsor's extraordinary power seemed to be concentrated in the veil she wore. This thing was soaked in blood, and the spiritual power it emitted was quite unpleasant.

In addition, the fourth-level transcendent who was good at reconnaissance left behind an eyeball... As if it was still alive, the pupil would expand and contract with changes in light.

Both of these things have a weird quality to them, and seem to contain a certain degree of danger.

Lor didn't want to go into it any further for the time being, so he threw them all into the storage bag.

In addition, there are four spiritual power crystals, but the spiritual power contained in them is not pure, and each is mixed with characteristics from different "origins", so Lor cannot absorb them directly.

However, if you meet a transcendent person who matches the origin of these crystals, you can definitely sell them for a good price.

Then there were the cash and talismans on these people, which were estimated to be worth five or six hundred gold coins in total. Lor put them all into the storage bag.

Overall, it was a great harvest!

Lor couldn't help but rub his hands excitedly.

Moreover, this didn't even include the gold, silver, and jewelry in the treasury... You know, those were the bulk of it! The worldly-wise Luo Er simply couldn't imagine how much the total value was!

of course……

And there's that strange, dead "dragon egg."

……

Return to the treasure house again.

Just in case, Lor and Isabella asked Meimei to stay near the entrance to prevent her from being affected by the strange dragon egg again.

"Speaking of which, you and Meimei seemed to have seen a vision earlier?"

Luo Er asked. At this moment, he was cautiously approaching the dragon egg and the gold and silver treasures around it. He could clearly feel the powerful extraordinary power, but the dragon egg remained motionless.

It seems that it will only react to beings that share the same "dragon" root.

"If I'm not mistaken, that should be the scene before the Dragon God's death, which should have happened a thousand years ago." Isabella pondered for a moment and replied, "You just said that this thing is not only a descendant of the Dragon God, but also its incarnation? Well, then everything makes sense..."

"Also, you were a little emotional at the time, Miss." Lor continued, "Did you see something that had special meaning to you?"

Hearing this, Isabella pursed her lips slightly, and after a moment of silence, she spoke:

"I saw 'True Ancestor Lilith'."

...No wonder.

Lor understood.

The eldest lady's feelings towards "True Ancestor Lilith" must be very complicated.

On the one hand, if the True Ancestor hadn't embraced her for the First Time, Isabella would have died long ago. But at the same time, she was deeply conflicted about her current identity as a "vampire," and even considered suicide at one point...

Also, as one of the manifestations of the "Root", True Ancestor Lilith must be extremely powerful.

but……

"You mean, the True Ancestor Lilith was also involved in the demise of the Dragon Clan?"

"Yes." Isabella nodded. "Besides that, there are several other transcendent beings... I can't identify them specifically, but one of them is a being radiating white light, and its outline is only vaguely discernible... I suspect that's the 'Holy Light' you believe in."

"Holy light?" Lor was stunned for a moment.

The whole body is emitting light, and the outline can be vaguely identified... According to the church's information, this is indeed the image of the "Holy Light" when it walks in the world in the flesh.

However, the "Holy Light", the true source, actually worked together with the source of evil, "True Ancestor Lilith"?

Although Lor had vaguely realized that the distinction between the so-called "source of good" and "source of evil" might not be a simple opposition between good and evil...but at this moment, he was still shocked.

Thousands of years ago, it was not a single force that wiped out the dragon clan.

Rather, it is the result of cooperation among multiple transcendent beings who are the embodiment of the root, among which there are both good sources and evil sources!

hiss--

I accidentally came into contact with a huge secret again.

59. Despicable Adult

Lor reached out tentatively to touch it, but the dead dragon egg still showed no reaction.

It was put into the storage bag of the different space very smoothly.

After that, there were piles of gold coins, silver coins, and jewelry.

These coins come from the distant past and are undoubtedly antiques. Their styles are very different from the currency in circulation today... In addition, these gold coins feel extremely heavy when weighed, and the proportion of gold in them should be much larger than that of today's gold coins.

The situation with silver coins should be similar.

It's important to note that the proportion of precious metals in today's currency is actually quite low. Gold coins only contain 20% gold, and silver coins contain even less than 5%.

Every gold and silver coin here, leaving aside its "antique" attribute, is estimated to be several times more valuable than the current currency just in terms of material value!

Lor made a rough estimate and found that there were about two thousand gold coins and about one thousand silver coins... As for things like jewelry, Lor didn't know much about it and it was difficult to measure their value.

According to conservative estimates, the total value of these gold, silver and treasures would probably be counted in the tens of thousands.

This is undoubtedly an asset level of the "great aristocracy"!

"If converted by purchasing power, this amount is enough to be hung on a street lamp in the world I originally lived in..." Lor calculated it in his mind and felt that it was really unreal.

But the problem is...

These antique coins and jewelry cannot be used directly as cash.

It’s not easy to do.

"Do we have to rely on the almighty Dark Moon Society again... No, selling so many ancient coins and jewels at once would really attract too much attention."

Lor thought with a slight headache:

"Besides, there are bound to be many knowledgeable people at the tea party. Perhaps someone could use this information to deduce the origins of these treasures... If they further speculate that there's a dragon around me, then things will be troublesome. I'll definitely be targeted by someone with ill intentions."

Also, even if it can be converted into cash, how to properly place such a huge amount of funds is also a problem.

Forget it.

It’s a troublesome matter, I’ll think about it after I get back!

"Miss, I'm going to check on Benjamin Bane first to make sure he's safe and sound," Lor said. "Then, we'll hurry up and take Meimei and Roland home."

"Indeed, we've been dawdling for long enough."

Isabella nodded in agreement, then turned her face away slightly, with a hint of shyness in her eyes.

She was so itchy that she was looking forward to returning home as soon as possible so that she could press Lor on the bed and suck his blood... Could it be that Lor had noticed what she was thinking and was in a hurry to go home?

This guy... is quite considerate and knows how to please me.

"We left home at nine o'clock in the evening. We traveled all night and had a long fight with the Duke of Canbury, Lady Windsor, and the others. It should be almost noon now."

Lor roughly estimated the time in his mind and continued:

"Let's hurry up, maybe we can make it back to Gordon before sunset... I haven't completed today's 'Praise the Holy Light' daily quest yet."

"Praise the Holy Light?" Isabella was stunned for a moment. "Is this why you're so anxious to go back?"

"What else?" Lor said seriously, "This is a big deal. If we fail to complete our daily tasks, the consequences will be serious! Besides, we don't know when our colleagues from the diocesan headquarters will arrive, so we can't stay here for long..."

"Hey, servant." Isabella said with a smile, "Come, listen to your master and stretch out your feet."

"Huh? What for?"

"I step on it!"

……at the same time.

After Lor stored the dragon egg in his "Alternate Dimension Storage Bag," the extraordinary power it emanated was also isolated. Meimei, who had been staying at the entrance to the treasure house, sensed that the power that had frightened her had disappeared, so she bravely ran to find Lor and Isabella.

Then I saw that the round platform that was piled with gold, silver and treasures had become empty.

"Gold coins... and shiny stones..." The little girl looked resentful, "Why are they all gone?"

"Meimei, be good."

Isabella quickly squatted down, touched Meimei's head, and comforted her:

"Those gold and silver treasures all belong to Meimei, no one will snatch them from you! But you are still young, so Stupid Lor and Sister Isabella will keep them for you first! We will return them to you when you grow up, okay?"

...Hello, young lady.

Your line sounds so familiar!

This is what my mother said when she took away my New Year’s money when I was a child!

Lor complained in his heart.

But when I think about it carefully, I don’t seem to have the right to complain about her... Even if Isabella didn’t say it, I would probably say the same thing to Meimei.

Sigh, I don't know when I became a despicable adult...

Suddenly I felt a little sad.

"Wow..." Meimei still seemed unable to accept it and was about to cry.

"How about this!" Isabella suddenly snapped her fingers, an idea coming to mind. "Let Lor pay you back little by little in the form of pocket money, okay? I'll give you three gold coins every week!"

Of course, what she meant by gold coins were the currency in circulation today.

"Three gold coins?" Meimei tilted her head, pondering for a while, then clapped her hands happily, "Three gold coins! They have to be shiny!"

"Okay, okay, three is three." Lor said with a smile.

To be honest, three gold coins is not a small amount... You know, Lor, who is currently a second-level exorcist, only earns 1.5 gold coins a week!

But think about it from another perspective, Meimei is the only dragon in the world today, so theoretically, the gold, silver and treasures as the "dragon heritage" should indeed belong to her.

Well, just think of it as Meimei making an investment in me, and I need to pay her three gold coins in interest every week.

Lor thought.

Although Meimei is still young, it doesn't seem appropriate to give her so much pocket money every week... However, this little miser will probably just hide all the gold coins somewhere and won't spend a single cent.

"Lor, I also want a raise in pocket money!" Isabella also stretched out her hand.

"...Why are you causing trouble?"

"You're so bold, Lor! How dare you talk to me like that?" Isabella said angrily. "Stupid follower, stretch out your other foot too!"

"Oh, you're so naive, aren't you? How could I be hit by the same trick twice...hiss, it hurts! That's unsportsmanlike, young lady!"

This time, Isabella didn't care whether Lor stretched his feet or not.
