Chapter 32 Inheritance, Really Legacy

To be honest, Rebecca is really not good at this kind of thing. Even if Gawain has explained it to her, she only half understands it - but she understands one thing, that is His ancestors do not seem to have such a favorable impression of the current King Francis II.

"Hostility is not to mention, but vigilance is absolutely necessary," Gawain replied casually when he heard Rebecca's question, he glanced at Amber standing next to him, but said generously, "The first The Second Dynasty, don't forget that it is now the 'Second Dynasty'. For a royal family that is not very justifiable in itself, the Cecil family can be said to be after the founding heroes, but it can also be said to be... People. Even if we don't have this heart, Francis II, as a king, has to have this concern, and his concern determines my alertness."

"So you are looking for trouble with His Majesty the King?" Rebecca asked with blinking eyes.

"No, I don't actually want to trouble him," Gawain shrugged, "I'm just doing something."

Rebecca: "Huh?!"

Gawain really couldn't explain this problem to Rebecca, so he changed the subject directly: "Forget it, these are not important, let's continue the topic just now. Amber..."

Amber took the initiative to raise his hands to express his understanding without waiting for the command: "I know I know, go outside and guard it, right? Hey, work hard..."

"No," Gawain raised his eyebrows, "I mean you can stay by the side - of course, if you feel bored, you can go back to your room to rest first. You must be tired from the tossing tonight, right?"

Amber looked at Gawain in disbelief: "Hey, did you suddenly feel kindness?"

Immediately afterwards, she shook her head and moved to the desk: "I'm not going back, I want to see what the two of you are going to do... It's not really a matter of inheritance, right?"

Gawain shook his head and ignored the half-elf, but placed the platinum disc on the table again.

"You said this was a key just now," Rebecca remembered what Gawain had not finished, "Could it be our family's secret treasure?"

Amber immediately frowned, but he deliberately looked around, as fake as he wanted.

Gawain smiled: "It is indeed a treasure, it is a hidden treasure house on the southern border, but it was originally prepared for the Kingdom of Ansu. Of course, for today's kingdom, it should not be considered a treasure. What a huge wealth - but for the pioneering team that had just fled to this land, it was half the property of the expeditionary army."

Rebecca's eyes widened.

"It was originally the primary insurance for the Kingdom of Ansu. After all, in those days, no one knew what would happen the next day," Gao Wen smiled and said the real purpose of this trip to the royal capital. The team fled all the way from the Gondor wasteland to the north. As we moved, we collected and gathered the surviving remnants in the wasteland, and collected various resources at the same time, so the team became more and more large, bloated, and eye-catching. As a result, we crossed the dark mountain range. At the time of , an army of monsters wandering out of the wasteland found our trail. The army was covering the civilians moving in the mountains. Of course, the speed could not keep up with the sleepless monsters, so there was a fierce battle. The loss of the battle was very high. Big, when we were counting the losses after the war, Charlie and I realized one thing: those monsters won't let it go. If we continue to carry all the baggage over the mountains and forests, the whole team will probably die on the way, so the two of us made a decision... …

"We left a part of the baggage that would seriously slow down the team's speed, and hid it in the depths of an abandoned frontier fortress. At the same time, we imposed a strong seal on the treasure house. Then the team lightly traveled and continued northward.

"And then you know the history - the pioneering team established a firm foothold in the north, and established a new kingdom center between the plains of the Holy Spirit and the mountains of the north,

Charles I built a fortress in the Sunil area, but the supplies in the south... are still lying there quietly. "

Rebecca asked curiously, "Why didn't you get them back?"

"At first it was because the situation was unstable and the cost was too high," Gawain explained. "At that time, the pollution was still spreading, and the monsters even spread the corruption area to the north side of the Dark Mountain Range, so we left the baggage place. It has become a polluted area, and it is not wise to send a team to that kind of place to pick up the goods. And more importantly, we have found abundant resources among the mountains in the northern part of the kingdom, and the plains of the Holy Spirit have also begun to produce a steady stream of Wealth, it will not take long for these newly added wealth to exceed the supplies left in the south, and due to two factors, the treasure house in the mountains of the south will gradually be forgotten.”

Rebecca looked at the platinum disc in Gawain's hand: "But it doesn't seem to have been completely forgotten..."

"Yes, of course the pioneers remembered where they hid their treasures, and while that fortune will seem less and less in the foreseeable future, it is, after all, a 'memorial' of that epic pioneering, and we were I just thought that the magic tide will eventually subside naturally, and future generations will one day be able to retrieve those things safely, so Charlie and I made an agreement: our two families will keep this secret separately, and we will keep those in the south. The story of the treasure is passed down from generation to generation, and the heirs of the Cecils and the Moens will know it all, and if one day the magic tide subsides and the kingdom needs this property, we will take them out. Think about it, Ancient secrets that have been passed down for hundreds of years, treasure troves passed down from generation to generation by royal families and founding nobles, heritage hidden in the mountains, and need a token to open - anyway, Charlie's old middle school thinks it will be cool."

Amber looked at Gao Wen up and down: "Is it the decision you two made after drinking too much?"

Gawain: "...You can almost think so."

Rebecca stared blankly at her ancestor before saying, "But I, the heir of Cecil, have never heard of this story..."

"Inheritance in this way is always prone to problems," Gao Wen sighed. "It was a sudden death that year, and I didn't have time to explain it to future generations..."

Rebecca: "..."

"But Charlie seems to have passed the secret on to his descendants very well," Gawain coughed twice to break the embarrassment, and raised the platinum disc in his hand, "I'm here to confirm this The key is still there - if it is still there, it means that the Ansu royal family has not taken the property in the past seven hundred years. This secret, Charlie knows, and his descendants who have passed it on normally know, but - I don't know about illegitimate children."

From 635 to 636 Ansu, a civil strife destroyed the inheritance order of the royal family, the king did not have time to leave any heirs, and the king's brothers and sisters all died in the civil war. I don't know if it's a real or fake illegitimate child ascending the throne...

Even if the illegitimate child was real, he couldn't possibly know the secrets of the southern treasure house.

"Those things..." Rebecca looked at the "key" with bright eyes, but then frowned, "But can we really use it casually? That's..."

Gawain glanced at the great-granddaughter on the N+1 floor: "Of course, you are a descendant of the Cecil family, show some confidence. Charlie and I buried those things together. Except for Charlie himself, this world Is there anyone better suited to inherit that fortune than me? I don't believe Charlie can pop out of the coffin like me..."

Rebecca thought for a while, then suddenly turned her head and grabbed Amber's arm: "Don't dig the emperor's tomb!"

Amber: "...what?"

Immediately afterwards, the half-elf lady suddenly shuddered, staring at Gawain nervously: "Wait! I...I heard such a secret thing...you really plan to take this opportunity to kill me and silence me. Bar?"

At this time, Gawain really wanted to slap her against the wall with a sword: "If I want to kill you, do I have to wait until now?"

The tension on Amber's face didn't go away at all: "Then the things you two talked about made me an outsider listen, didn't it..."

"First, I still trust you more now, and second, I know that you are actually a smart person," Gao Wen raised the disc in his hand, "The only bold idea you might come up with is to steal this disc, but This disc must be activated by the blood of the Moen family or the Cecil family, and it is difficult to say whether the blood of the Moen family really survives, so obviously, if you want to get some benefits, you can only …”

Amber took a step forward, raised his chest and raised his head and said sternly: "It is a great honor to serve the founding heroes, I am Amber will do my best to do my duty - such an epic thing is not worth talking about, right?"

"Then I really don't want to talk to you about money..."

"Of course, if you insist on talking to me about money, then I can't help it."

It was the first time that Gawain saw a person who could be shameless while still being so strict...

In the second half of the night, there were finally no more visitors to disturb.

The row of mouse traps and nails that Gawain had placed on the window sill of the study was of no use.

Although these things won't be of much use to those unscientific shadow stalkers...

On the second day, Gao Wen and his party arrived at Silver Fort after recuperating.

It was still the inner court official who was in charge of the reception yesterday, and Francis II also copied the grand reception scene yesterday as it was—the work in terms of face can be said to be quite sufficient.

And this time, there were two teams of messengers on horseback in the Silver Fort, respectively, to clear the road along the two main roads outside the Royal District, and used amplification magic to loudly convey "Grand Duke of Ansu, Gawain. Cecil is about to step into the Silver Castle".

It seems that Prince Edmund has conveyed Gawain's wishes to his father very well, and Francis II has done enough in front of outsiders.

I just don't know how the shadow guard will return after returning - this should be a good judgment after seeing the face of Francis II.

After tidying up his grooming and attire, and confirming that the pioneer sword on his waist was in the most conspicuous position, Gawain strode into the Silver Fort.
