Chapter 830: Seeking the Treasure

Back to Chapter List
?Phone reading Boom… The entire stone door had turned into scattered stone fragments. Qin Feng stuck his head out from the side, smiling, "One bomb is enough—what good is any strength?" Su Wu and Isabella exchanged a glance, both expressing their helplessness. Just the living room alone has at least six or seven large windows exceeding five meters in height, yet they're covered by thick curtains, with no sunlight filtering through. Isabella grabs one of the curtains and gently pulls it. To her surprise, the curtain doesn't just part—it simply falls off entirely, the heavy fabric now rotten and crumbling. "By heaven, even a sedentary species wouldn't go this far in making its home so messy. Do they never entertain guests?" Qin Shao complains. "Be satisfied—this is already quite good," Su Wu says, picking up her digital camera, setting the flash to maximum, and beginning to take photos. Since it's indoors, the damage isn't as severe as outside, and many areas retain their original form, resulting in crisp, clear images. Qin Feng waves at the beautiful instructor, smirking and asks, "Sasha, don't you think most castles of this kind usually house treasures?" "Maybe that's true—I really don't have a clear idea about it," the beautiful officer smiled. "Oh, you're thinking of searching for treasure, aren't you?" "Exactly," Qin nodded. "You stay with Xiao Wu; I'll go around and check things out. Her level is quite low, and I'm worried she might get in danger if she's alone." "Alright, go ahead and trust me!" "Indeed, Sha Sha is so well-behaved—here goes, a kiss!" With a tender kiss on her lovely face, he hurried off. It turned out that the ground-level buildings had never been inhabited—each room was covered in a thick layer of dust. After walking through the corridor, he smiled, as before him lay a pristine, spotless space, a striking contrast to the dusty rooms above. Deeper inside, a space resembling the outside living room appeared, only that the walls were lined with neatly arranged stone caskets, totaling several dozen. These caskets must have been the vampires' beds. He summoned his flying sword, cut open one of the caskets, expecting to see a creature with fangs leap out. Instead, a dry, mummified corpse fell out. "Whoa," he exclaimed, suddenly realizing: the caskets were just caskets—what kind of bed could that be? This place was clearly a mortuary, more like a cemetery. While Qin Shao wouldn't dare disturb his ancestors' graves, he could certainly arrange a few bombs at will. Keep searching, and he found that the smaller, independent spaces became more numerous the deeper he went—hidden deep within the structure. Of course, as long as he kept looking, he would surely be able to uncover each hidden treasure one by one. But he didn’t intend to do that, because it would be far too cumbersome. Instead, he preferred to let them come out on their own—saving himself a great deal of effort. He also found dust on these treasures, indicating that the castle's owner never regarded them as true wealth—no more than a collection. Since you don't seem to appreciate their value, why not have me take them all? At least that would restore much of their splendor. He had already quietly disposed of most of his earlier wealth through secret channels, and the proceeds were passed on to Mei Hui to expand her business. The beautiful CEO was so amazed by the funds that she kept exclaiming in astonishment. These items here appear to be worth at least several billion euros—far better than simply running a steady business. Otherwise, Qin the young noble would never have felt content. Though he had plenty to eat and drink at home, his days would have been uneventful and relaxed. Yet such a remarkable achievement would never have come to pass. He walked around the room, and as he did, various treasures flew into the rings, until the room was finally empty. After leaving the treasury, he accidentally discovered a beautifully packaged book on a black reading stand, though the text on it was unfamiliar—written in some ancient language. Holding the book, he returned to the stand. "Sasha, come quickly and look at what's written here," he called out. Isabella and Su Wu approached and glanced at it briefly. The beautiful instructor said, "This is the lineage of the vampire family, documenting their centuries-long heritage. The founding ancestor was a human woman and a vampire's illegitimate child, who steadily expanded the family through her own efforts while maintaining a pure bloodline..." Qin Shao interrupted her: "What exactly does 'pure bloodline' mean?" "Sasha replied, 'They only marry off their half-blood children—those born to a vampire and a human—without marrying those who become vampires after being bitten. This is quite an extreme approach; sometimes, they simply can't find suitable partners, and consanguineous marriages become quite common!' Su Wu found it hard to understand: 'Then, is this an advancement or a step backward?' Isabella shrugged and said, 'I can't quite put my finger on it—so it's clearly an extreme approach. However, by examining their family records, it's evident that this lineage has indeed gained significant advantages. At the very least, they've maintained their lineage for several centuries, which is quite rare among vampires.'"
