Chapter 40 Treasure
Chapter 40 Treasure
?Daphnia had an uncomfortable feeling in this cave with all the waste materials and the smell of the cave.
"Don't worry mother look at all the dung here they are old which means the beast who lived here abounded in this cave," Velian said while pointing at the bizarre objects.
"But Veli what if it comes back we will be in a greater danger," She reluctantly started to follow Velian into the cave.
Since Velian had the information which Yuvanna gave to him this cave felt more like a home to him. He knew all the hidden places and roads inside the cave.
They kept walking until Daphnia shouted with an ear-deafening sound.
"What happened, Mother?" Velian quickly ran to be equally surprised by the scene in front of his eyes.
"What the hell! So dragons are truly greedy creatures, She didn't give me information about this," He said while looking at the mountain of treasure stored in this chamber.
"I guess she didn't want me to find them, well too bad since I found all this I will take all of them," He muttered to himself with a sly smile.
"This will be my revenge against you Big sister Yuvanna for making me see your smelly dump in this dirty cave.
"Veli, W-what the hell is this? How can be there so many gold and treasures in this cave? Is this a bandit cave?" She said while looking at me with an excited expression. I guess her adventure spirit is back after seeing all this.
"Well it cannot be a bandit hideout even if it's bandits they wouldn't be able to collect these items, all of the items here are pretty high level I guess this is a cave of an ancient kingdom or someone's legacy," I said while grabbing her and walking toward the chamber.
"Well since we found all this what do you think mother won't this belong to us," I said while flashing a little smile at her.
"Hehe, who knew that being chased by a beast will lead us to this but Veli, how are we going to take all this back?"
"Don't worry mother I can store it in my storage artifact,"
We quickly started to find the valuable things in this mountain of treasure and I couldn't store most of it because my storage was already filled with a lot of corpses and herbs.
"Veli, look at here," Mother said while showing me three rings which looked alike.
(Appraisal)
Name: Storage ring
Rarity: S
Skill: Storing none living objects in a space-time area. 1000 × 1000
"Luna, what is the storage space of my storage,"
[Master's storage space is eight times more than an S-rank storage artifact]
"Ohh... I can use these storage rings to store the monster materials and herbs I have, but how did mother know these are storage rings unlike me she doesn't have an appraisal skill," I thought feeling confused.
"Mother, these are storage artifacts have you seen an artifact like this before to identify this without any skill?" I decided to be straightforward with my question.
"I have seen these types of artifacts in the books from the impe- important library," She was about to say imperial ain't she, I thought while looking at the silly face she made when she realised she was about to spit up the truth.
"Yes, this is an S-ranked storage ring and the other two are A-grade storage rings mother,"
"Wh-whatt? you say these are S-ranked tools, Veli looks like this isn't a legacy of a normal person," She was really surprised by his words.
"Baby, S-rank tools are mostly handled by famous nobels or emperors, in this era, SS-ranked tools can be counted with the fingers of one hand and the S-ranked tools are no better,"
I already knew all this information with the help of Luna but I nodded my head to the mother's speech showing that I understood her advice.
"Mother, take the S-rank ring and store all the things you find interesting I will use the other two rings and use them," I proposed to her because I plan to empty my storage and store all the monster material, meats and stuff in the storage rings while all the treasures and coins plus the Yuvanna's corpse will remain in my storage.
I quickly took the other two rings and transferred all the stuff to the two rings and just like what I expected both of them were filled to the brim when the process was finished.
"Oh my God, I have meat to feed a full town for a whole month with both breakfast and dinner," I said while wearing the two fingers.
"Let's find something interesting before I find my main target," I collected a lot of treasures that varied from rank C to S and as expected there were a lot of tools I didn't even know what it's for somehow since I had space I decided to store all this.
At that moment only I saw a rusty sword which didn't match the background of this place because all the things are either silver or gold in colour. Some are made up of Mana-iron, Ingenium, Orichalcum, Mana-Diamonds and Adamant.
I was pleasantly surprised with the rusty sword which had no sharp blade or colour whatsoever, I grabbed its hilt to see whether it was mistakenly brought into this treasure trove but I was wrong. The moment I touched it started to absorb my mana and the rusty surface started to crumble.
"What the hell is this I feel like this is draining my mana at ultra-speed," I thought while looking at it and decided to send it to the storage.
Mother was busy storing whatever she wanted so I decided to pay a visit to my main target. Unlike this hidden treasure trove of that greedy old hag, I had the correct path to the egg.
"Mother, I will quickly look around this cave, Can you collect as many as you can from here?" I shouted at her.
"Alright, baby"
I quickly left the chamber and ran inside to the main part of the cave. It was not a considerable distance from the entrance of the cave but the part which had the egg was unbelievably gorgeous. It had a lot of plants which indicated the liveliness itself. The egg was lying in the middle of this chamber giving the same majestic feeling of a dragon. It had a light gold colour on the surface. It was the size of an ostrich egg.
I slowly walked to the middle of the chamber with observant eyes.
*Growl *Growl
I heard the sound of a small growling from the direction of the egg which sounded like a monster.
"Is it the guard which Yuvanna mentioned or some monster tried to best this child after it was born," I looked in the direction in which the sound came from.
