Hearing what Gawain said subconsciously, the mysterious woman wearing a veil was slightly startled and blinked in confusion: "My name is Melita Pernia. This pronunciation may indeed be common in the northern countries. The name is different..."
Gao Wen quickly brought back his wandering thoughts: "Oh, sorry, don't worry, don't worry, it's my pronunciation that's not correct."
< p>Then he coughed twice and tried to be serious (to save the atmosphere by the way): "So, this Miss Agent from the Mithril Treasure House, what's the point of your unexpected visit late at night - and coming in through the window? What's wrong?"The woman jumped down from the window sill and came to Gawain: "It's a helpless move to come in through the window. After all, there are countless pairs of eyes staring at this place, and you stay in secret. The contents of the silver treasure house are classified as 'top secret'. According to the agreement at that time, whether depositing or withdrawing, the process must be kept confidential."
As she spoke, she used her pair of hands in the night. The slightly lavender-shined eyes stared at Gawain. Although the expression on the veiled face was invisible, there was an obvious look of scrutiny in those eyes.
Gawain's mind was already working rapidly.
He knows about the Mithril Treasure House—or, in other words, he has records related to the Mithril Treasure House in his memory.
The Mithril Treasure House is not a mysterious organization. In fact, most intelligent creatures in the world are aware of its existence, but at the same time, no one dares to say that they understand this "treasure house" 's true face.
On the surface, it is a comprehensive treasury. It can help you store money and keep treasures. As long as you pay enough fees, you can hand over anything with confidence and boldness. Let them keep it for safekeeping - at least this is what Mithril Treasure House's publicity says, and in fact, to this day, I have never heard that anything handed over to Mithril Treasure House will be lost. At the same time, Mithril Treasury also provides lending services. They have countless agents and agents in the world. As long as they meet the credit standards, anyone can easily find them and borrow money or other things from them— - Just pay attention to two things. First, how much you can borrow depends entirely on the "rating" of Mithril Vault, and they have never disclosed this rating standard to the public; second, you must pay it back.
Mithril Treasure House will ensure that every copper plate it lends can be recovered with interest.
Just as I have never heard that items entrusted to the Mithril Treasure House for safekeeping will be lost, and I have never heard of anyone who can escape the debt of the Mithril Treasure House, it is said that there once was a cunning fire element lord It once tried to challenge this rule - although elemental creatures do not need money, this maverick elemental lord still borrowed a huge sum of money from the mithril treasure house, and then he returned to the elemental world, ready to see the mortal world. Joke, but it paid off all the debt in the end.
On the third day of repayment, the elemental lord’s core and elemental fragments appeared in the north.At the auction, the money earned from the auction was exactly equal to the sum of his arrears and late fees.
It can be seen that the Mithril Treasure House does not only deal with humans. In fact, it does transactions with all intelligent races in the world. As long as they have financial demands, they are all potential customers of the Mithril Treasure House. Even the chattering elves in the south and the stone-hard dwarves in the west are no exception (it is said that the stronghold of the mithril treasure house can even be found in the kobold caves). No one knows whether this organization is human or elven or what. It was established by other races. Anyway, it has always existed like this. Even the demon tide seven hundred years ago failed to affect its operation. In fact, the establishment of the Kingdom of Ansu had a loan from it, but At any rate, Charles I finally paid back the money.
The treasury agent was still looking at Gawain curiously, while the latter calmly and quickly sorted out the chaotic thoughts in his mind. He realized that the unexpected visitor's visit tonight would probably It was a transaction made seven hundred years ago. Gawain Cecil was obviously a customer of the Mithril Treasure House back then, but the fatal thing is...
There is no memory of this in his mind!
Gawain has no idea what the ancestor Cecil stored in the mithril treasure house seven hundred years ago!
As his thoughts suddenly turned around, he instinctively wanted to make up an excuse to cover up the gaps in his memory. However, when he was about to say this sentence, he noticed that MyLittlePony The young lady's eyes were scrutinizing, and her heart moved, and she suppressed the deception that she was about to say.
This woman is full of mystery. Before you are sure of her details, you must reduce the variables as much as possible. Lying may cause trouble - because there are special talents of some special races that can detect lies.
He calmed down and looked into Melita's eyes: "What did I save back then?"
"Don't you remember?" Melita's eyes were slightly bent. , seemed to be smiling, "Is it because I have been sleeping for too long?"
"I have been sleeping for seven hundred years, so I probably forgot something." Gawain knocked on his head, "Is it true? Even if the client dies, will you keep the entrusted items?"
"Usually, the death of the client means the termination of the entrustment, and after that, there are two ways to deal with the entrusted items. If there is a real inheritance mark, we will hand over the entrusted item to the heir. If there is no legal heir, the entrusted item will belong to the Mithril Treasure House." Melita really smiled and raised her hand slightly, a delicate small safe deposit box It just appeared in her hand out of thin air, "But the thing you kept back then was very special - you purchased an indefinite storage service specifically for it, which means that as long as the Mithril Vault is still operating, your stuff will be there forever. Store it, and only you can take it away."
As she said, she added: "You paid a high price for this service back then when the news of your death came. , we thought it was going to be a headacheDead debt, but now it seems that everything is uncertain. ”
Gawain frowned, realizing that this matter might be more complicated than he initially imagined.
But now is not the time to pursue these matters, he must first No further judgment can be made until the item is in hand.
“Can I get my stuff back? ”
“It will indeed be a little troublesome if you don’t remember the commission from back then, but don’t worry, Mithril Treasure House has encountered various problems, and we have enough experience to face all surprises. ," Melita held the safe with both hands, "Memory is just a small problem, please put your hand on this rune, these ancient magics can naturally verify your identity. ”
Gawain thought for two seconds, and at the same time mobilized the "danger perception" talent of the knight profession. He did not sense a threatening atmosphere in the safe, and the rune itself did not have a curse or curse. Poison and other negative energy fluctuations, after confirming this, he put his hand on the rune that looked like a claw print.
A slight heat came from the skin, and the small safe clicked. , the cover popped up a small crack
"Is this okay? "Gawain asked a little surprised.
Melita smiled: "It is the purpose of Mithril Treasure House to improve the convenience of customers as much as possible, which can help customers pay off their bills better - —Of course, your bill was paid seven hundred years ago. ”
As she spoke, she opened the box completely and handed it to Gawain. The latter looked down and found that there was only a tarnished crystal inside.
Wait. Wait, this crystal looks familiar?
Gawain temporarily suppressed his doubts and looked up at Melita: "By the way, why did you choose to come to me now? Was this part of the deal that year? "
"That's not true," Melita shook her head gently, "it's just that we also need some time to verify your resurrection. Originally, I planned to meet you on your way to the Royal Capital, but your route was just...too elegant. I didn't know what plans you had to implement, so I simply waited here in the Royal Capital. You are. By the way, I have been waiting here for a long time. Rice is very expensive in Wangdu, and the rent is not cheap either. But since you are a VIP customer, we will not charge you for this fee. "
Gowen: "..."
Then you should mention something by the way!
Gowen tilted his head and said quietly: "Wangdu Mi The price is indeed very expensive, and the guard I raised also has a big appetite. This time he was injured by you, and I am afraid it will cost a lot to recover from the injury. I will not ask you for this fee. "
Melita: "..."
Miss MyLittlePony seemed to smile stiffly twice. She couldn't see clearly even though she was wearing a veil. Finally, she shook her head and raised her head. The hand handed over something: "Well, Mr. Gawain Cecil, this transaction has been successfully completed, and as a VIP customer of the Mithril Treasure House, you will get a gift. ”
Gawain took it curiously, only to find that it was a silver-white ring: "What is this?"
"The ring of mithril, every VIP customer must complete the first You will get it after every transaction. Through it, you can contact your exclusive agent, the VIP specialist, at any time. If you encounter any financial difficulties in the future, or if you have treasures that need someone to take care of them, then contact me directly. That’s it. Of course, if it’s a general small-scale service, you can also go directly to the nearest Mithril Treasure House agent with this ring, which will give you a lot of discounts.”
After that, She turned and walked towards the window she had come from.
Gawain raised the ring in his hand: "Then I hope I never have to borrow money from you."
Melita had stepped onto the window sill again and heard Gawain Then, she turned around and smiled: "Believe me, Mr. Gao Wen, everyone is likely to encounter financial difficulties, and the Mithril Treasure House will open the door to customers who encounter troubles at any time."
Gao Wen waved his hands when he heard the same rhetoric used to sell credit cards in his previous life: "Okay, okay, I understand. Miss MyLittlePony, you'd better go back quickly. Rice is quite expensive here in the capital."
Melita's feet slipped, and she didn't know whether it was because of the price of rice or MyLittlePony, but she didn't look back this time, and simply disappeared into the air.
A moment later, her figure appeared in a small attic on the top floor of the mansion.
This is a place where basically no one will disturb it. It is usually used to store sundries, but now there are some extra bedding, pillows, pots and pans.
Melita did not lie, she has indeed been waiting here for a long time...
While packing her luggage, the agent shook her head: "Fortunately, there is everything to eat. It’s your rice.”
