Chapter 95 – Rich People!! A Treasure Chest Filled With Gold Coins
I took out the dirty “mysterious map” from the item box. When I showed it to Blair, she confidently stated that she had indeed written it herself. It seemed that the location was not too far from this beach.
We walked towards that place.
” ――Wait, this is… here?!”
I was surprised.
Not just me, but everyone was surprised. It was hard to believe that a treasure chest was buried in such a place.
On the contrary, Blair’s eyes widened in surprise.
“Wh-why is there a mansion built in such a place!?”
“This is my house. Well, more like the ‘garden’.”
Yes, it seems that the treasure is buried in the garden of my house. I can’t believe it was in such a place. It was incredibly close and unexpectedly surprising. I never knew I was sleeping with gold coins behind me.
“Oh, I can’t believe there was treasure in the garden…”
“I’m surprised too, Skor. I chose this place because it has good access to the beach, but I never thought that pirates had buried a treasure chest here.”
Such things can happen.
Anyway, let’s dig up the treasure chest.
I held Gale Tulle in my hand and started digging the designated ground.
“What is that weapon?”
Blair asked with great interest.
“This is my trusty pickaxe. As you can see, it can easily dig through the soil, and it can also obtain it as a material.”
“Hou, that’s a peculiar item. I have an item collector among my subordinates, but I’ve never heard of such a weapon.”
I had never heard of such an item collector either. Perhaps it’s a profession unique to the Republic. Or maybe it’s just a hobby.
I concentrate on digging, and when it gets as deep as a pitfall, I hit a hard metal with a “gan”. This seems to be the treasure chest. But metal? Isn’t it usually made of wood?
Anyway, I took out the treasure chest.
It was a magnificent silver treasure chest.
“So, this is it. It’s quite a luxurious treasure chest.”
“Yeah, that’s right. It’s made of titanium and is very strong.”
“Made of titanium, huh? That’s amazing…”
That’s why I heard the metallic sound.
The treasure chest wasn’t locked, so I opened the lid. And then, a shiny golden glow illuminated the surroundings. Wow, it’s dazzling!
“Oh, there are countless gold coins, Rasty-sama.”
Alfred, who was amazed, picked up a gold coin. He appraised it to see if it was real or fake.
“How is it, Alfred?”
“Yes, this is definitely a genuine ‘Belliose gold coin’. Judging from the number, it’s the budget of a small country. With this, not just one lifetime, but for three generations, you can live a comfortable life.”
“““Oh!!!”””
I, Skor, and Blair all raised our voices in unison. Wow, there was that much amount buried here. This makes us rich all at once!
Well, even though we’re splitting it in half, it still more than enough. With this, we might be able to engage in trade with other countries. At the very least, we’ll need money in Borodin, where we’re heading next. It’s perfect timing.
“Blair, as promised, it’s fine to split it in half, right?”
“I am a princess of the Republic, so I always keep my promises.”
We exchanged firm handshakes and decided to share the gold coins. It’s great that Blair is a good person. Well, she has the position of a princess in the Republic, and her intention is to help her struggling country. It’s a much better use than the prosperity of the Empire.
