The box is heavy or light.
The lock is very strong.
But this could not stop Liszt from breaking the copper lock on the lightest box with just one sword attached to his fighting spirit. The lock opened, and so did the box.
There was no one else in the hall, and they were all sent away by the Carter butler, who also walked out - there might be valuables in the box, and as a servant, he shouldn't care.
There are many people with mixed opinions. Carter is very satisfied with Liszt's actions.
Although he believed that Carter was loyal, he couldn't believe that all the servants were loyal. If they saw the incredible treasure and told others about it, wouldn't it be troublesome?
Wealth should not be revealed in vain.
This principle must be understood.
"This box is very light. It is completely different from other boxes. What will it contain? Or nothing?" Liszt reached out and slowly opened the lid of the box.
Suddenly, a bright light almost blinded his eyes - the box was filled with highly reflective white metal ores, which reflected the light coming from the window one by one, everywhere.
Blinked.
After adapting to the scattered light, I carefully looked at the white metal ore in the box. I took out an ore and weighed it in my hand. It weighed almost nothing, but the texture to the touch was definitely that of metal. It was cold and very hard.
"This is..."
He has never seen such a light metal, and in his understanding, metals are generally very heavy.
Of course, he also knows that there is a very light metal, lithium, which is twice as light as water and can float on the water. But even lithium is heavier than the metal ore in his hand. Now it feels like he is not holding a piece of metal ore, but a piece of foam.
Squeeze it hard, but the metal ore won't budge at all.
He slashed with his sword, but he couldn't do it, leaving only a slight mark.
"It's definitely not foam, nor plastic." He looked at the ore in his hand and recalled the knight novels he had read. He raised his eyebrows and gradually smiled, "I have probably guessed what kind of metal this is. It is as light as nothing and as hard as iron... It is Magic Power metal-mithril!"
In this world, metals are also gold, silver, copper, iron, and aluminum.
But there are several special metals that are compatible with Magic Power and are very good conductive materials for Magic Power. They are also essential materials for building Magic Power equipment.
There are currently three known Magic Power metals - mithril, fine gold and orichalcum.
Mithril is as light as nothing, gold is indestructible, and orichalcum is indestructible.
These three Magic Power metals are also derived from dragons. It is said that for the Everlasting Glory Empire, there is a Mithril Dragon. In knight novels, the "Silver Knights" often appear to follow the protagonist in battle. The standard equipment of the members is a bright mithril Magic Power armor, and they come and go like the wind.
"Mithril is very valuable, more precious than gold. This box of mithril ore is worth at least one Dragon Coin!" Liszt licked his lips in dismay.
The treasure is well-deserved!
He quickly used Space Gem to put all the mithril ores in it, leaving only an empty box. Just this box of mithril ores was a huge harvest. However, he had no intention of selling it and kept it so that he could use it to build equipment when he needed it in the future.
Touching the Red Blood Sword on his waist, he felt that Red Blood Sword should also contain a small amount of mithril - the conductivity of Magic Power was higher than that of ordinary fine steel weapons.
Even if there is no Dragon Gem inlay, a weapon mixed with mithril is at least a Magic Power weapon.
"Now, let's see what's in the second box... I don't know if there's fine gold or orichalcum." Liszt raised his sword, gently cut off the rusty copper lock, and opened the lid of the box.
The stench hits my face.
I almost made him vomit.
Inside were neatly stacked books. I don't know how long the books had been stored. The stench caused by Parchment was quite intoxicating.
Hold your breath.
Liszt saw the top book, the name was handwritten Snake Script--<Rudolf Alchemy Diary>.
"Alchemy diary?"
His eyes flickered slightly.
Alchemists probably belong to a legendary profession, maybe equivalent to chemists, or Daoist priests who make alchemy? Legend has it that they can turn ordinary stones into gold through magical alchemical methods. Whoever masters the secret of alchemy can have wealth that can rival other countries.
In knight novels, alchemists appear quite frequently.
It's just that in reality, there have been many people with the title of alchemist, but they have never demonstrated real alchemy, they just cheated and drank.
Liszt, who has studied physics, doesn't really believe in the existence of alchemy.
Of course.
In this different world with Magic Power, God knows if there is real alchemy. For example, now, he saw a diary with the title "Alchemy" on it.
"It's not really a record of alchemy, is it? It's to let me master the rhythm of alchemy? Will I reach the peak of my life so soon?"
Liszt felt his heartbeat starting to speed up.
The profession of alchemist is definitely not much worse than top-level existences such as dragon knights, dragon domain lords, magicians, and dragon-slaying warriors - if you have money, you can really do whatever you want.
However, just when he was about to touch the book.
The <Rudolf Alchemy Diary>, which seemed to still have clear handwriting, shattered in an instant, and then rippled into powder. Liszt's fingers went directly through the powder and grabbed a hole.
"I..."
There is a saying in my mind about MMP that I don't know whether to say or not.
In just the blink of an eye, the entire box of books turned into powder and scattered into a pile at the slightest touch. No writing could be discerned, nor could the appearance of the books be discerned.
The wind blew in from the window and directly picked up the powder, flying along with the stench.
After being stunned for a while, Liszt came back to his senses. He covered his chest and almost vomited blood. "My alchemy!" The Parchment book that had been stored for many years was already decayed.
The diary recording alchemy was also destroyed.
My heart is like a knife.
Although he felt that alchemy was unlikely to exist, when the possibility of alchemy's existence slipped away from his hands, the feeling of loss still hit his heart deeply.
The box that was supposed to be filled with treasures of knowledge became a pile of rubbish.
A sigh.
Reluctantly suppressing his uncomfortable emotions, he said, "Forget it, I am lucky to have lost my life. Who knows if there is any real record of alchemy in the diary. It is an unexpected gain, and losing it is not enough to shake my mentality. A box of mithril ore is already valuable enough."
After comforting himself, he carefully picked up the sword and opened the third box.
The same is true for books.
At the top are the covers of five books.
Liszt learned his lesson and did not touch it directly, but carefully memorized the cover of each book.
<Iron Ridge Kingdom Warcraft Guide>, <Close Encounter with the Poly-Horned Demon Rhino>, <Interesting Facts about Flashgold Tower>, <Red Monkey Woods's Colorful Mushrooms>, <Fox Manor Rainy Night Terror>.
The covers of these books are not handwritten Snake Script, but printed Snake Script. They are obviously books published and sold on the market.
"Flashgold Tower? Red Monkey Woods? Fox Manor?"
He has never heard of these three places, but he can conclude that these three places belong to the Iron Ridge Kingdom. Because only Iron Ridge Kingdom and its vassal countries use Snake Script. Including the Rudolf who wrote the alchemy diary before, they should all be Iron Ridge Kingdom.
He carefully reached out to touch the book, hoping to open a page.
However, it was still a failure. As soon as the book was touched, it immediately turned into powder and could not be saved.
"It's a pity that two boxes of books and so much knowledge have all disappeared." Liszt shook his head and focused on the last two boxes, "Are these two boxes also filled with books?"
