Chapter 131 Search
In the invisible state, Noshier first slowly pushed open the door of the restaurant, and then slowly closed it after coming out.
In the perception of the helmet, the hall was relatively safe without the little devil, but there were two little devils guarding the corridor leading to the second floor.
Although the little devils could not see through the stealth ability of their own kind, if they went that way, they had to go through the main door to enter the room, but the noise when opening the door was too loud, and it was almost impossible to hide from these little sentinels. The risk was too high, so they could not go.
Then there were only two routes left. One was to fly out of the Duke's Mansion, and then drill through the window or chimney to the rooms on the second floor. This would perfectly avoid surveillance, but the disadvantage was that it was more troublesome to go back and forth, and not all rooms had windows or chimneys.
The other way was to go to the kitchen and explore the room through the precision lifting system that connected each room in the kitchen. Because these roads were connected, they could immediately retract after searching one room and search the next room, which was more convenient.
Noshier chose to go to the kitchen. The little devil's tiny body was enough to get into these narrow food delivery passages. Going to such a place was not only efficient, but also safe. In the past, there was no guard in the kitchen except for saliva, let alone the existence of little devils, so there was no need to worry about the sound of opening the door to alarm them.
The Duke's Mansion was very large. Next to the kitchen was the dormitory of the servants and guards. Perhaps to facilitate midnight duty or other matters, the doors of these two rooms were not closed tightly.
Noshier walked into the kitchen carefully, and after a round of inspection, he went directly into the tunnel of the elevator. At the same time, he directly transformed into a spider and crawled in the tunnel through the little devil's natural transformation ability.
This form is most suitable for exploration. In such a narrow tunnel, if you fly, there will be a very obvious sound of wings flapping, which is far less convenient than spiders, which can climb on nearly vertical walls silently.
He soon came to the food outlet of the first room on the second floor. According to the perception of the helmet, there was no fluctuation of the devil's thoughts in this house.
That is to say, this room may not be worth exploring, after all, there is no guard, but Noshier still turned himself back into a little devil before leaving the tunnel, and then flew into the room in stealth to search.
There is really nothing valuable in Room 1, and the items inside are also very simple, with only a large bed and a box at the head of the bed. The box is not locked, and Noshier opened it directly. There are only a few simple clothes and a troll-style doll inside?
This discovery is really unexpected, and even Noshier is a little unbelievable, so he carefully looked around the room again, and finally he was sure that there is really nothing valuable here.
"..."
Noshier returned to the elevator tunnel and continued to explore the second room.
Room 2 is the same as Room 1 before, with no people and no devils, but the layout of the room is very elegant, with a clean and tidy bed with patterned sheets, a side table carved with rose patterns, an animal-foot iron bathtub, a cabinet, a fireplace and an iron-edged wooden box.
A 3-foot-wide (1 meter) and 6-foot-high (2-meter) floor-length mirror was fixed on the east wall opposite the fireplace. The painted wood frame of the mirror was carved with patterns of mice, crows and spiders.
Because of these arrangements, Noshir decided to search the room carefully. He first checked the table. After opening the drawer on the table, he found a lot of documents inside. Most of these documents had a guy named Amlik Vansamper, and the specific content of the documents was the loan business he ran.
Most of these documents were IOUs. Each document had the names of different people and the amount they owed to Amlik. The specific amount ranged from a dozen silver coins to hundreds of gold coins, and the final repayment amount was doubled.
"Maybe I can collect the debts from these people with these IOUs, but I don't have so much time. This thing is of no use to me, but it's not good to keep it."
He put these paper documents together and placed them on the table, ready to take them with him when he left later. After doing this, he continued to search the room.
He checked under the bed, bathtub and cupboards, but found nothing except some clothes in the cupboard. Noshier even checked the French window carefully to see if there was any illusion or secret door.
However, it seems that there is no special secret door, so Noshier had to go to the iron-rimmed wooden box.
This time the box was locked, and this discovery made Noshier a little excited, after all, being locked meant that there were valuable things inside.
After a careful observation, Noshier knew that this kind of lock would not be difficult for him. He put the chelae on his tail into it, fiddled with it a few times, and then opened the box. This time he did not disappoint his expectations, and he did have a lot of gains and discoveries.
This box actually contained a lot of money, conservatively estimated to be at least 200 gold coins. In addition to these golden little cuties, there were also two pure gold trading anchors. You know, a pure gold trading anchor is worth 100 gold coins, which is not a small amount of money.
Noshier also found a bone wood carving box. This box had no lock. When it was opened, there was a seal inside. There was a line of words engraved on the bottom of the seal.
Only stone hearts never bleed.
"What's going on? There is a magical aura on this seal, which means that this thing should be the key to open the underground treasure house, but didn't Gargos say that this thing should be carried by the Duke? How could it be found here?"
Noshil was puzzled, but after using the panel to explore it, he found that this thing was really used to open the underground treasure house.
"... According to those documents, Amlik Van Sampler is engaged in a lending business, which means that he needs to go down to the treasure house frequently to take money to maintain his lending revenue. If you think so, it is not surprising that there is a spare key in the treasure chest in his room."
Noshil tossed the heavy seal, but he didn't expect to find one of the main targets in the second room, and it was the treasure house key that was originally thought to be very difficult to steal.
"Good luck, it's a good start, but the real big head has not been obtained yet."
Noshil took the seal and the stack of documents and flew back to the elevator tunnel. It was not convenient to carry these things in the next action, so Noshil placed them in the passage and turned into a spider again to search other rooms.
This time it was Room 3. Unlike the previous two rooms, this room not only had people in it, but also had at least four little devils distributed in every corner of the room, which was a tough nut to crack.
The spider that Noshier turned into temporarily withdrew. He planned to search those empty rooms first, and then explore such crowded places after those rooms were searched.
So he came to Room 4.
This room was uninhabited, there was no bed, only a dressing table with an oval mirror with a border, on which were placed several bottles of perfume, a brush, some cosmetics, several needles and rolls of silk thread.
In addition to these, there was a wooden folding screen with a gold-plated bird of prey painting, a black tall wardrobe, and a golden blanket in front of the wardrobe.
"It seems to be a dressing room?"
After confirming that there was no danger, Noshier directly transformed into a little devil, flew out and began to search around here. He found 6 bottles of high-quality perfume, a silver hairbrush inlaid with lapis lazuli, and a jewelry box with amber and gold silk on the dressing table in the dressing room. Inside the box was a string of pearl necklaces.
These things are all valuable items. According to the description on the panel, the value of each bottle of perfume is estimated to be around 20 gold coins. The hairbrush is also very valuable, worth at least 100 gold coins, and even the box is worth 20 gold coins, not to mention the pearl necklace.
The pearls on it are large and full, bright, smooth and crystal clear. According to the valuation on the panel, this necklace alone is worth 500 gold coins.
"The Duke's luxurious life."
Noshier shook his head at this corrupt and extravagant behavior. Although these things are good, the only things he can take out are probably the necklace and the brush. These two things are valuable and not heavy, even the little devil can drag them.
After finding the box, if it is not discovered, you can run a few more times to transport these things out.
