Core Treasury
The main reason she didn't go today was that she had made an appointment with Bishop Electra seven days ago.
This morning, Bishop Electra will lead Extraordinary Team from the Holy Church to her home to strengthen the seal on the treasury.
If Altair were to go play now, he would definitely get covered in blood, and even after washing up, Blood Path.
If she were discovered by the Church of Evernight's squad, she would need to go through the trouble of explaining herself.
If the explanation doesn't make sense, and some Divine Being in the team comes along, labels her a heretic, and puts her on trial, then she'll be the center of attention.
All these reasons led to Altair's lack of interest in going out to play today.
The two hadn't been sitting in the living room for long when Hahn led Bishop Electra and others in.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the group got up again, changed direction, and headed towards the Sheffield Family's treasury.
After Altair used the key to open the first Treasury Main Door, Bishop Electra, fearing that Altair, participating in treasury maintenance for the first time, might not be familiar with the procedure, explained, "Count Altair, if you wish to begin maintenance of your family treasury now, you will need to open the family Treasury Main Door."
"If you don't open the Treasury Main Door, the Extraordinary Team from the Holy Church won't be able to get inside to do their maintenance."
"I don't know if you have the key; it's a Black Metal Shard— "
Before Bishop Electra could finish explaining, Altair smiled and politely interrupted, "It is indeed with me. I was just a little stunned. I'll go open the Treasury Main Door now."
As they were talking, Altair took out a key from the handbag on the side of her dress, and as she passed by Hahn, she took the dagger he offered.
Looking at the two items in her hands, Altair shook her head with a sigh, thinking to herself, "It seems that the bloodletting process is unavoidable." Before long, she arrived at the Treasury Main Door.
With a ripping sound, Altair used his dagger to cut a gash in his palm, continuously squeezing out blood to feed the black iron plate, which kept sucking his blood.
Altair only stuck the key on the door after it started glowing Red Light.
The door made a loud noise after touching the blood-stained key, and then began to continuously emit Colorful Special Black Mist.
Out of curiosity, Altair touched the mist with her hand at the doorway. But the moment she touched the mist, her own Spirituality sent her a "warning."
After sensing the warning, Altair, suppressing his fear, slowly took two steps back.
The captain of the vault maintenance team slowly walked over and stood beside Altair, explaining to her, "Count Altair, this must be the first time you've seen something like this."
"Yes." Upon hearing this, Altair stopped moving, took out a medicine bottle, and began treating himself, replying casually.
Seeing her reaction, the squad leader shook his head and said to her, "Actually, you don't need to worry about safety. This fog only has a suppressive effect. My squad and I are standing right here. Even if you trigger the suppression, we can quickly release you."
"Furthermore, I believe your Your Family Treasury doesn't require large-scale repairs at all; it's currently functioning perfectly well."
"The energy was just too concentrated; this kind of situation is indeed quite rare in my career."
"But I believe the root cause lies with you. You probably didn't open the Treasury Main Door Treasury Main Door many times last year—or rather, you didn't open it at all."
"To the best of my knowledge, only this situation could lead to such a high concentration of energy accumulating at the gate."
"You can use it frequently from now on."
"The energy accumulation is too high?" Altair repeated the sentence softly, then couldn't help but ask curiously, "What does that mean? And where does the energy of the treasure vault come from? How come I didn't know my family had such a thing?"
"The energy concentration is too high, which means exactly what it says. The energy allocated to your house has been left unused and has been accumulating, causing it to gather together," the squad leader explained casually to Altair, looking ahead.
After saying that, he added, "Hmm... if I remember correctly, the energy source of your treasury should be Saint Samuel Church. The Treasury Main Door draws directly from the faith power of the believers."
"No matter what, Bexland is a large city with a permanent population of 5 million, and the 'power of faith' of Saint Samuel Church is virtually inexhaustible."
"In order to avoid wasting this energy, the Church of Evernight —no, not just the Church of Evernight, but all the major True God Church are doing this."
"Each city will, to varying degrees, sell some of its faith power to the Beyonder families to help them suppress their own Sealed Artifact."
To give a very simple example: you should know that some of the Sealed Artifact have the characteristic of being "alive".
If such Sealed Artifact is not suppressed and sealed, it often requires someone to keep a constant watch over it.
"But doing so is too time-consuming and laborious, so extraordinary families would seek out churches to create treasure vaults and purchase energy to suppress and seal them. This is the simplest and most efficient solution."
"Beyonder families only need to pay a certain amount of money to seal their own Sealed Artifact, which is a very worthwhile thing."
"Of course, if you don't want to use the Church's methods for sealing, then you'll need a large number of Demigod or an Angel in your family. Once you have such a powerful being, you won't need the Church's help. For example, the Augustus Family the Royal Family of Ruun family—"
After exchanging only a few words, the black mist Treasury Main Door completely dissipated. Seeing this, the squad leader said to Altair, "We can go in now."
As soon as he finished speaking, the squad leader took the lead and walked into the Treasury Main Door.
Seeing that the squad leader had entered without any unexpected incident, Altair relaxed and slowly walked in as well.
Upon entering the vault, Altair slowly moved her head and looked around. This completely enclosed vault wasn't as dark as she had imagined; instead, the walls were filled with various glowing, unidentified ores, making the room quite well-lit.
Nearly a year has passed since the time travel, and only now has Altair entered the true Core Treasury of the Sheffield Family.
After observing it, Altair became familiar with the layout of the vault: a closed space of about 100 square meters, similar in size to her room, but with a relatively spacious layout, surrounded by this wooden "frame".
The empty spaces within the frame are sometimes empty, sometimes filled with boxes, and sometimes sealed with Wall of Spirituality.
However, perhaps because the seal was too advanced, Altair was unable to see through the items inside the sealed wall using his Spirituality.
The butler, Hahn, who followed closely behind, started rummaging around the doorway after entering.
Not long after, he found a rather old notebook.
After finding the notebook, he slowly walked towards Altair.
Upon reaching her, Hahn handed the item he was carrying directly to Altair.
He then introduced, "Count Altair, this is the ledger in the Core Layer of the Family Treasury."
It Record the whereabouts of the various Beyonder Characteristic and materials of the Core Treasury.
"The usage, effects, and side effects of Sealed Artifact, ----."
"Last year's treasury entry was led by Earl Leif Count Strauss, with my assistance from the sidelines."
"This year, you will need to personally complete this task. As far as I know, at the height of the family's power, the Family Treasury was filled to the brim, with very little empty space."
