Chapter 89 Blade of the Silver Moon
The black elf tierna's warehouse is under her mansion, which is a separate secret space for storing her personal treasures.
When escaping from Dole Tucheng, Telena only brought a follower, so the things stored in this secret room were basically unmoved.
The reason why Rubin knew the existence of Miku was that Miku was designed and built by him under the order of Terena, so the old craftsman took the initiative to help. It soon looked like a stripped girl and showed it in front of Leon without resistance.
Make a fortune!
When Leon entered the secret room and saw the things piled up in it, he had only one idea in his mind: he was rich, and he was still rich!
The secret room is not very large, similar to the small living room of an ordinary suite. There is no other furniture decoration except a row of wooden cabinets.
However, some things can attract all eyes even in the darkest corners.
Under the light of turpentine, Leon was almost blinded by a pile of gold placed in the corner!
Gold! All of them are palm-length, half-inch-wide gold bars, which are commonly known as "big yellow croaker" in Leon's original world, and there are at least hundreds of them piled up here!
"In the last year, a small gold vein was found in the mine. Now it has been basically dug up. We have refined all the gold ore into gold bars. I think there is almost one-third left here!" Rubin explained, "The estimated value is about 40,000 to 50,000 gold coins!"
40,000 to 50,000 gold coins, how many pounds of rye can you buy? Leon can't estimate it for a while, but it's definitely no problem for the Crazy Hammer tribe to eat for more than ten years.
"Oh!"
The old craftsman's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurried forward a few steps. He picked up a dark box from the small wooden cabinet next to the pile of gold bars, and his face was full of excitement.
"Your excellency, you see..."
He opened the lid of the box and presented it to Leon.
"What is this?" Leon asked curiously.
There are more than a dozen dark gold metal blocks of different sizes in the box. The pieces seem to be broken from somewhere, and the surface of the metal emits soft light.
"This is mithril, the mithril that comes with the gold mine! I thought I had been dedicated to the elves by elena, but I didn't expect her to hide so much!" Rubin said excitedly, "Your Excellency, mithril is the best magic metal. It is a necessary material to build advanced magic weapons. If it is used on armor armor, as long as it is mixed with a little, it can greatly improve the ability to resist magic."
"One ounce of mithril, the price is more than 10,000 gold coins, at least six ounces here!"
That is 60,000 gold coins, plus the gold bars of 40,000 to 50,000 gold coins. These alone are huge wealth worth 100,000 gold coins! Leon really didn't expect that Terena could even leave such a precious thing when she ran for her life.
He couldn't help touching his skin pocket, which also contained three rings captured from the other party. It would definitely not be much worse. He should let Aklan identify it later.
Leon found that Rubin is so familiar with the inside story that he must have been highly valued and trusted by Telena, which also shows that he is a really capable person and has a variety of talents.
"Rubin, do you have a family? Leon suddenly asked.
"Family..." Rubin was stunned for a moment, and a bitter smile appeared on his old face: "Of course, but I haven't contacted them for almost four years, and I don't know how they are doing now."
If it weren't for his family, he wouldn't have been paid by the slave trader's high-paying office**, and he would have fallen into the current fire pit.
"I changed my mind." Leon smiled and said, "Other craftsmen don't care. For you, I hope I can hire you to work for me."
"I'll give you a salary of 5,000 gold coins a year. If you make an additional contribution and add another reward, what do you think?"
The salary of 5,000 gold coins a year!? The old craftsman couldn't believe his ears. Although his ability and skills far exceeded that of ordinary craftsmen, even in a human country, he never dreamed of such a high salary.
Originally, he only hoped that Leon could abide by the agreement and leave freely after a few years of work. As for remuneration, he didn't have to think about it at all.
It was also in order to make Leon better to the craftsmen that he took the initiative to tell Leon the secret of the telena.
"I can pay you three years' salary in advance..." Leon patted the old craftsman on the shoulder and said, "Let someone transfer it to your family and allow you to write them a letter of peace, as long as they don't reveal our secrets."
Rubin was clever and immediately knelt on one knee at Leon's feet: "Your Excellency, I am willing to swear to the Supreme God that I will die for you!"
15,000 gold coins, as long as you don't squander indiscriminately, you can definitely give a dilapidous family a new life!
He is old. If he replaces the rest of his life with money to help the family, he will definitely be willing.
Leon's generosity made the old craftsman extremely grateful.
"You can't die..." Leon helped him up with a smile: "I need your ability in many places. Living well is the best reward for me!"
In Leon's view, Rubin's value far exceeds the wealth accumulated here. There are many ways to earn it back without money, but it is too difficult to find really useful people in this whistling forest.
"Okay, let's see what else?"
The large wooden cabinets lined up against the wall looked like they were hiding good things, but when the doors of the wooden cabinets were opened one by one, Leon became more and more disappointed.
Long skirts, short skirts, leather clothes, scarves, underwear... These cabinets are all kinds of clothes, colorful, gorgeous and beautiful. At a glance, you can know that they are from those excellent human craftsmen.
It is said that in many big cities of the human race, the top tailors of a famous ready-to-wear shop can make dresses for nobles of hundreds or even thousands of gold coins, and ordinary clothes can't be taken off without dozens of gold coins.
But here, these luxurious clothes are really worthless for Leon.
He really didn't expect that the black elf would casually put gold bars and mithril outside, but solemnly store his clothes in a cabinet, which was unreasonable.
Another wooden cabinet opened, and Leon opened his eyes again - black whip, dark red long rope, strange iron hook, fluffy brush, round wooden stick... The hobby is really unique! Leon was speechless to the black elf who was punched by himself.
More than a dozen cabinets were opened in a row, either clothes or Terena's private entertainment tools, which made Rubin, who was in charge of opening the cabinet, a little embarrassed. He almost couldn't wait to open the last and largest wooden cabinet.
There is no gold, no clothes, and no sex tools. There is a huge weapon with a strange shape in it!
It is more than five feet long, and the thick handle of one foot long is dark gold, engraved with fine decorations, and two lifelike fierce beast heads form the two ends of the blade handle.
The wide and long giant arc blade is wrapped in a dark green outer sheath, which does not show any sharpness.
Although its true face was covered, as soon as he saw this weapon, Leon felt that the tiger head tattoo on his chest seemed to be alive, making a silent roar, making his blood boil all over his body!
"This is..." Rubin was a little stunned, frowned and thought hard, as if he thought of something.
No matter what he thought, Leon stepped forward and grabbed the weapon in his hand.
It's so heavy! Leon grabbed the handle with one hand and picked it up, and one end of the weapon immediately fell down, so that he had to work harder to hold it firmly.
I don't know what material it is made of, but it has such weight! Leon weighed that it weighed at least three or four hundred pounds, and people with little strength could not even carry it.
He grabbed the outer sheath with one hand and tried to pull it out, and the outer sheath made of animal skin slid down very easily.
A cold light crossed Leon's horizon, and the sharpness revealed actually gave him goose bumps on his face and neck!
Pap!
The long outer sheath slipped directly to the ground, and this dust-sealed weapon showed its true face.
Good! What a... murder weapon!
Reon doesn't know what to call it. The blade of more than four feet long has an extremely beautiful arc shape. Two different arcs meet perfectly at the tip. One side is the back of the blade nearly three fingers thick, and the other side is the sharp edge.
It has the handle of a sword and axe, and the blade is more like a war knife. The silvery blade is spotless, which clearly reflects Leon's face.
In the middle of the blade, a slender red blood mark extends from the end to the top, which adds a little bit of killing to it.
Holding it, Leon actually has an impulse to kill. This murder weapon is born to kill!
"I remember that this is the silver moon blade, the legendary gift from the silver moon goddess to the god of war!" Rubin shouted excitedly, "Look at its blade, it must be mixed with a lot of mithril, and this craft, which can only be owned by masters in ancient times. It's so beautiful!"
"You said it was an artifact?" Leon was shocked.
Artifacts are artifacts created by gods. When mortals touch them, they will be cursed the most terrible. It is said that only the strongest strong man has the ability to control it.
"No, no!" Rubin shook his head quickly: "It's not an artifact. To be precise, it is an imitation of an artifact, but adults, you must not underestimate it. If I guess correctly, it should be a weapon with special power."
"As for why it fell into the hands of tierina, I don't know."
The imitation of the artifact... This is acceptable, otherwise Leon would really doubt whether Terena was the illegitimate daughter of the Elf Queen.
