Chapter 29 Mithril Treasury
Hearing what Gawain said subconsciously, the mysterious woman in the veil froze for a moment, and blinked in confusion: "My name is Melita Purnia, and this pronunciation may indeed be different from the common names in the northern kingdoms. So much the same..."
Gao Wen quickly brought back his thoughts that had gone astray: "Oh, sorry, don't worry about it, it's my pronunciation that's not right."
Then he coughed twice, trying to make himself more serious (by the way, to save the atmosphere): "Then this lady agent from the Mithril treasure house, what's the matter with your sudden visit in the middle of the night - and you still came in through the window -? ?"
The woman jumped from the window sill and came to Gawain: "It's a helpless move to come in through the window, after all, I don't know how many eyes are staring here, and the things you left in the Mithril treasure house are 'top secret'. , according to the agreement of the year, whether it is deposit or withdrawal, this process must be carried out confidentially.”
As she spoke, she stared at Gawain with her eyes that glowed lavender in the night. Although her veiled face couldn't see any expression, there was a clear look of scrutiny in those eyes.
Gawain's mind has been activated quickly.
He knew of the Mithril Vault—or rather, there were records of the Mithril Vault in his memory.
The Mithril Treasure House is not a mysterious organization. In fact, the vast majority of intelligent creatures in this world are aware of its existence, but at the same time, no one dares to say that they know the true face of this "treasure house".
On the surface, it is a comprehensive vault that can help you store money and treasures for you, and as long as you pay enough fees, you can safely give anything to them for safekeeping - at least This is what the publicity of the Mithril Treasure House said, and in fact, until today, I have never heard that the things handed over to the Mithril Treasure House will be lost. At the same time, Mithril Treasury also provides lending services. They have countless agents and agents in this world. As long as they meet the credit standards, anyone can easily find them, and then borrow money or something from them— - Just pay attention to two things, first, how much you can borrow depends entirely on the "rating" of Mithril Treasure, which they have never disclosed to the public; second, you have to pay it back.
The Mithril Vault will ensure that every copper plate it borrows can be recovered with interest.
Just as it has never been heard that items handed over to the Mithril Treasure House will be lost, and that anyone can escape the debt of the Mithril Treasure House, it is said that a cunning Fire Elemental Lord once tried to challenge this rule— Although the elemental creatures don't need money, the maverick elemental lord borrowed a huge sum of money from the Mithril Vault, and it went back to the elemental world, ready to see the jokes of the mortal world, but it paid off in the end all debts.
On the third day of the repayment day, the elemental lord's core and elemental fragments appeared at the auction in the north. The money from the auction was exactly equal to the sum of his arrears and late fees.
It can be seen that the Mithril Treasure House does not only deal with human beings. In fact, it trades with all intelligent races in the world. As long as there is a financial appeal, it is a potential customer of the Mithril Treasure House, even those in the south. The elves and the stone-hard dwarves to the west are no exception (it is said that the stronghold of the mithril treasure house can even be found in the cave of the kobold), no one knows whether this organization was founded by humans or elves or some other race, anyway It has always existed like this, even the magic tide 700 years ago could not affect its operation - in fact, the establishment of the Anzu Kingdom had its loan at work, but anyway, Charles I finally put the loan The money is back.
The treasure house agent was still looking at Gawain curiously, while the latter calmly and quickly sorted out the chaotic thoughts in his mind. He realized that the visit of this unexpected visitor tonight was probably one of seven hundred years ago. transaction,
Gawain Cecil back then was obviously a client of the Mithril Treasury, but fatally...
There is no memory of this in my mind!
Gawain had absolutely no idea what the ancestor of Cecil had stored in the Mithril treasury seven hundred years ago!
Under the sudden turn of thoughts, he instinctively wanted to make up a reason to cover up the blankness in his memory, but when the words were about to reach his mouth, he noticed the scrutinizing eyes of Miss My Little Pony , With a move in his heart, he abruptly suppressed the fudge that was about to be spoken.
This woman is full of mystery. Before you are sure about her details, you should reduce the variables as much as possible. Lying may be troublesome-because there are special talents of some special races, which can detect lies.
He calmed down and looked into Melita's eyes: "What did I save back then?"
"Don't you remember?" Melita's eyes squinted slightly, as if smiling, "Is it because she slept for too long?"
"I've slept for seven hundred years, and I probably really forgot to order something," Gawain tapped his head. "By the way, even if the person concerned dies, will you always keep the entrusted items?"
"Usually, the death of the party means the termination of the entrustment, and after that, there will be two ways to deal with the entrusted property. If there is a real inheritance standard, we will give the entrusted object to the heir. If there is no legal heir, the entrusted object will be entrusted. The things belong to the Mithril Treasury." Melita smiled and raised her hand slightly, and a small exquisite safe box appeared in her hand out of thin air, "but the things you kept in those days were very special - you It has been purchased specifically for indefinite storage, which means that as long as the Mithril Vault is in operation, your stuff is stored forever, and only you can take it away."
Then, she added: "You paid a lot of money for this service back then. After the news of your death, we thought it would be a headache, but now look at it. Come on, everything is uncertain."
Gawain frowned, realizing that this matter was probably more complicated than he had imagined at first.
But now is not the time to pursue these things. He must first get the thing in his hand before he can make further judgments.
"Can I get my stuff back?"
"You don't remember the entrustment back then, it will indeed be a little troublesome, but please rest assured, the Mithril treasure house has encountered various problems, and we have sufficient experience to face all accidents," Melita held her hands in her hands. Safe deposit box, "Memory is just a small matter, please put your hand on this rune, these ancient magics will naturally verify your identity."
Gawain pondered for two seconds, and at the same time mobilized the "danger perception" talent of the knight profession. He did not perceive a threatening aura in the safe, and the rune itself did not have any negative energy fluctuations such as curses and poisons. After confirming this, he put his hand on the rune shaped like a paw print.
A slight heat came from the skin, and the small safe clicked and the lid popped a small slit.
"That's it?" Gawain asked in surprise.
Melita smiled: "It is Mithril Treasure's mission to make it as convenient as possible for customers, which can help customers pay their bills better -- of course, your bills were paid seven hundred years ago."
Saying that, she opened the box completely and handed it to Gawain, who looked down, only to find that there was only a crystal that had lost its luster.
Wait, does this crystal look familiar?
Gawain temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart and looked up at Melita: "Why did you choose to come to me now? This is also part of the transaction agreement back then?"
"That's not true," Melita shook her head gently, "but we also need a little time to verify your resurrection. I originally planned to meet you on your way to the capital, but this time you The route is really... too elegant, I don't know what plan you have to implement, so I just waited for you here in the royal capital. By the way, I have been waiting here for a long time. The price of rice in the royal capital is very expensive, and the rent is very expensive. It's not cheap either - but since you're a VIP customer, you won't be charged for that."
Gao Wen: "..."
Then you also mention a yarn by the way!
Gao Wen tilted his head and said faintly: "The price of rice in the royal capital is indeed very expensive, and the guard I raised is also very hungry. I was injured by you this time. I am afraid that the cost of recuperating is not small, and I will not ask you for this expense. of."
Melita: "..."
The Miss My Little Pony seemed to give a stiff smile, she couldn't see clearly with the veil anyway, and finally she shook her head and raised her hand to hand over something: "Then Mr. Gawain Cecil, this transaction has already been completed. Well done, and as a VIP customer of the Mithril Vault, you'll get a gift."
Gawain took it curiously, but found that it was a silver-white ring: "What is this?"
"The Ring of Mithril, every VIP customer will get it after completing the first transaction. Through it, you can always contact your own exclusive agent, the VIP commissioner. If you encounter any financial difficulties in the future, Or if there are other treasures that need to be kept on your behalf, just contact me directly. Of course, if it is a general small-scale service, you can also take this ring directly to the nearest Mithril Treasure Agency, which will allow you to obtain Lots of deals."
After speaking, she turned and walked towards the window where she came.
Gao Wen raised the ring in his hand: "Then I hope I will never have to borrow money from you."
Melita had stepped on the window sill again, and when she heard Gawain's words, she turned her head and smiled: "Trust me, Mr. Gawain, everyone may encounter financial troubles, and the Mithril Treasure House will always be ready for those who encounter troubles. Customers open their doors.”
Gawain waved his hand when he heard the same rhetoric as selling credit cards in his previous life: "Okay, I understand, Miss My Little Pony, you should go back quickly, the price of rice in the Royal Capital is quite expensive."
Melita's feet slipped, and she didn't know if it was because of the price of rice or because of My Little Pony, but she didn't look back this time, but just disappeared into the air.
After a while, her figure appeared in a small attic on the top floor of the mansion.
This is a place that is basically undisturbed by people. It is usually used for stacking debris, but now there are more quilts, pillows, pots and pans and the like.
Melita didn't lie, she did wait here for a long time...
While packing up, the agent lady shook her head: "Fortunately, the food is your rice."
