Struggle in the Steam Age

Chapter 231: Treasure house

Although Zhu Yan's family belonged to a relatively new family in the NSW, the long history of the family made them choose the traditional Aurora architecture when building their headquarters. As soon as he got out of the carriage, Lawrence was caught by the mansion on the side of the road.

What caught Lawrence's eyes was the three gates with beast heads. The vermillion door paint and the stone carving monsters on both sides of the gate gave a special sense of solemnity. At the same time, he could feel that these two stone monsters were not simple decorations, but two powerful stone puppets. There is a plaque hanging in the middle of the gate with the two characters Zhu's mansion written on it.

Following the elder, Lawrence and the others went in through the corner gate on the west side and walked tens of meters along the stone road before passing through the Chuhua Gate. Entered the Chuhua Gate. On both sides are the hand-made verandas, and in the middle is the hall. In the center is a large marble plaque on a solid wood shelf. Turned to the interstitial is a small three-room hall. Behind the hall is the main courtyard at the back. The five upper rooms on the front are all carved beams and painted buildings. On both sides are the wing rooms on the veranda.

There were several heavily armed patrols organized by the Zhu family members walking up and down along their own patrol routes, and they all saluted when they saw the elders of the family leading Lawrence and them through.

After bypassing the last main house, Lawrence and the others came to a small house with a full brick-concrete structure. The elder asked Zhu Yan to wait outside, while they entered the room with Lawrence and moved a few switches. Followed a passage to the reception room at the entrance of the underground treasure room.

In this house, an old man with a childlike face was sitting there, and he greeted the elder enthusiastically after finding that the elder had brought Lawrence in, and then asked: "This young man you brought in is—"

The elder quickly stepped forward to explain what had happened before, and then motioned Lawrence to place the stone tablet on the table. After checking the stele, the old man took out a small notebook and handed it to Lawrence. After receiving the booklet, Lawrence found that there were no more than ten extraordinary items listed in the booklet.

All the records in this booklet are master-level transcendent items, and each transience item in the booklet is accompanied by detailed pictures and detailed explanations about the extraordinary items. According to the treasure house guardian, this booklet is a list of all the master supernatural items in the treasure house. After Lawrence chooses it, he will ask someone to send the selected supernatural items from the treasure house.

Naturally, here is not like Lawrence in the church to choose what he wants. After all, this is the family's private treasure room, and it is indeed inconvenient for outsiders like Lawrence to enter.

After careful counting, Lawrence found that there were eight extraordinary items in the booklet. In addition to half of them are magic items, there is also a precious metal ore, a potion that can increase a fixed value of magic power after drinking, a notebook of a celebrity, and a master-level mechanical beast.

But what seems a little strange is that Lawrence saw a huge question mark on the last page of the manual. This mysterious style is completely opposite to the previous detailed introduction.

"Since you are a friend of our juniors, then I will tell you directly." After Lawrence asked the guard, the guard who looked like an expert replied, "In addition to the regular treasure house, we also There is a sundries storehouse."

"There are no less than 100 items in the miscellaneous library. In fact, all of them are collected by family members from the establishment of the family for so many years, but they cannot tell what they are. However, we judged this by some means. Most of the stuff in a pile is rubbish, but there is also a small part that may be good or even very valuable."

"Now these items are all placed on the shelf in the utility room. If you want to try your luck, you can choose the last question mark. But in order to ensure that the entrant is indeed obtained purely by luck, so choose It is not allowed to cast any spells in the process. Once you cast a spell, it is equivalent to giving up your choice. Also, you have six hours to choose what you need. Once the time is up, no matter whether you choose it or not, you need to come out from it."

"Understood, then I will choose this." As the bloodline slowly awakened, Lawrence felt that he had been able to slowly awaken the ability of Bai Ze to avoid evil. So today he decided to give it a try to see if that ability can be actively used.

"You young people seem to like to bet on your luck at this time." After hearing Lawrence's choice, the janitor seemed to have expected things to turn into this way and said with a smile, "At least ten in my impression. Six or seven of the young people who came here for the first time would choose to gamble in the storehouse. For example, the last time I met a little guy with at least two catties of mascots on his body, it turned out to be a pity. Things should be useless."

"I need to warn you that only 1/5 of those who choose to gamble will get things beyond their imagination, and 1/5 will get items with similar levels of what they wanted to get. , And the remaining six adults have all suffered from this. So as a caretaker, I must remind you of the risks here. Of course, if you regret it at this time, it’s still too late."

"Thank you for your advice, but I have made a decision." Lawrence thanked the old man and then entered the door of the utility room. After entering the door, there were two rows of shelves on which all kinds of things were randomly placed.

"The guard just didn't tell the truth. At least half of the stuff in it is the garbage that the Zhu family deliberately stuffed in." Lawrence thought after checking a few things, because he found that all the things he just saw were all It's garbage that can't be a good thing.

Of course, this does not mean that the guards cheated him. Because before he came, he seemed to have heard Zhu Yan talk about this rule at home when he chatted with Zhu Yan. According to legends circulating among their family members, this approach is to allow family members to learn to decide and bear the results of the decision.

As a big family that has lasted for hundreds of years, implementing the education of family members into all things is naturally part of the family heritage. And Lawrence now just enjoys the internal treatment of this big family.

"But the proportions of the various things that the gatekeeper said just now should be true, and the next step is to see whether he is the emperor or the non-chief~lightnovelpub.net~ thinking that Lawrence walked to the center of the warehouse. Then he sat down cross-legged and entered a state of meditation.

He was not worried about this incident being discovered by outsiders. After all, the people who entered this utility room to choose things according to the gatekeeper's statement could do anything, and it should be fine to sit in the room and meditate.

After Lawrence entered the meditation state, the white shadow in his mind suddenly became a lot more active. At the same time, he also felt a special power coming from the little doll Nara to connect with Bai Ze Xuying.

Under the action of this dual force, the white shadow in Lawrence's mind became active, and when that activity reached a peak, he suddenly felt that the world had changed, everything was quiet, and he seemed to be floating in The same in the void.

In this sense of silence, he felt that something on the shelf began to attract himself. And this attraction can clearly distinguish the strong from the weak.

After writing down the location of the attractive object in his mind, Lawrence opened his eyes and stood up, and then began to walk all the way along the passage in the middle of the shelf, pretending to be a comprehensive inspection in this utility room, but actually Shang is taking this opportunity to check those things that have just been attractive to him.
