Hearing what Gawain said subconsciously, the mysterious woman wearing a veil was slightly taken aback, and blinked in confusion: "My name is Melita Pernia, and the pronunciation may indeed be different from the common names in northern countries. So much the same…”
Gao Wen quickly brought back the thoughts that had gone astray: "Oh, I'm sorry, don't worry, don't worry, it's because my pronunciation is not accurate."
Then he coughed twice, trying to make himself serious (to save the atmosphere by the way): "Then, Miss Agent from the Mithril Vault, what's the matter with you making a surprise visit late at night—and coming in through the window—?"
The woman jumped down from the window sill and came to Gao Wen: "It is a helpless move to come in through the window, after all, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at this place, and the things you left in the Mithril treasury are 'top secret'. , according to the agreement of the year, whether depositing or withdrawing, the process must be kept confidential."
As she spoke, she stared at Gao Wen with her pupils that shone slightly lavender in the night. Although no expression could be seen on her veiled face, there was a clear look of scrutiny in those eyes.
Gawain's mind was already working quickly.
He knew about the Mithril Vault—or rather, he had records related to the Mithril Vault in his memory.
The Mithril Treasury is not a mysterious organization. In fact, the vast majority of intelligent creatures in this world know of its existence, but at the same time, no one dares to say that they know the true face of this "treasure house".
On the surface, it is a comprehensive treasury, which can help you store money and keep treasures for you. As long as you pay enough fees, you can safely and boldly entrust anything to them for safekeeping—at least secret The publicity of the silver treasure house is like this, and in fact, until today, it is true that there is no news that the things handed over to the Mithril treasure house will be lost. At the same time, Mithril Treasury also provides lending services. They have countless agencies and agents in this world. As long as they meet the credit standards, anyone can easily find them, and then 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 Treasury, and they have never made this rating standard public; second, you have to pay it back.
Mithril Treasure House will ensure that every copper plate lent out can be recovered with interest.
Just as it has never been heard that items entrusted to the Mithril Treasury for safekeeping will be lost, and it has never been heard that anyone can escape the debt of the Mithril Treasury. It is said that a cunning fire elemental lord once tried to challenge this rule—even though Elemental creatures don't need money, but this maverick elemental lord borrowed a huge sum from the Mithril Vault, and then it returned to the elemental world, ready to watch the jokes of the mortal world, but it eventually paid back all debts.
On the third day of the repayment day, the elemental lord's core and elemental fragments appeared at the auction in the north, and the money obtained from the auction was exactly worth the sum of his arrears and late fees.
It can be seen that the Mithril Treasury does not only deal with human beings, in fact it does business with all intelligent races in the world. The elves and the dwarves who are as hard as rocks in the west are no exception (it is said that even the stronghold of the Mithril Treasury can be found in the caves of the kobolds), no one knows whether this organization was established by humans or elves or some other race, anyway It has always existed like this, even the magic tide seven hundred years ago failed to affect its operation-in fact, the establishment of the Ansu Kingdom had a loan from it, but at any rate, Charles I finally took the money Still on.
The treasure house agent was still looking at Gao Wen curiously, while the latter calmly and quickly sorted out the messy thoughts in his mind. He realized that the unexpected visitor's visit tonight might be a visit from seven hundred years ago. Gawain Cecil was obviously a client of Mithril Vault back then, but the fatal thing was...
There is no memory of this in my mind!
Gawain had no idea what the ancestor Cecil had stored in the mithril treasury seven hundred years ago!
Thinking about it suddenly, he instinctively wanted to make up a perfunctory excuse to cover up the blankness in his memory, but when this sentence was about to come to his lips, he noticed the eyes of Miss My Little Ony , with a move in my heart, I forcibly suppressed the flicker that was about to say it.
This woman is full of mystery. Before determining her details, we should reduce variables as much as possible. Lying may be troublesome—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 lowered, and she seemed to be smiling, "Could it be because of sleeping for too long?"
"I've been asleep for seven hundred years, so I probably forgot something," Gao Wen tapped his head, "Speaking of which, even if the client passes away, will you still keep the entrusted items?"
"Usually, the death of the party means the termination of the entrustment. After that, there are two ways to deal with the entrusted item. If there is a definite inheritance mark, we will hand over the entrusted item to the heir. If there is no legal heir, the entrusted item will be dealt with." The things belong to the Mithril Treasury." Melita was really smiling, and at the same time raised her hand slightly, and an exquisite small safe deposit box appeared in her hand out of thin air, "But the things you kept back then are very special—you specially Bought indefinite custody for it, which means that as long as the Mithril Vault is in operation, your stuff will be stored forever, and only you can take it.”
As she spoke, she added: "You paid a lot of money for this service back then. After the news of your death came, we thought it would be a headache, but now we see Come on, everything is uncertain.”
Gao Wen frowned tightly, realizing that this matter might be more complicated than he imagined at first.
But now is not the time to pursue these things, he must first get that thing in his hands before he can make further judgments.
"Can I get my stuff back?"
"You don't remember the entrustment back then, it will indeed be a little troublesome, but please rest assured that the Mithril Treasury has encountered various problems, and we have sufficient experience to deal with all accidents," Melita clasped her hands The safe deposit box, "Memory is just a small problem, please put your hand on this rune, these ancient magics will 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 perceive any threatening aura in the safe deposit box. After confirming this, he put his hand on the paw-shaped rune.
A slight heat came from the skin, the small safe box clicked, and the lid popped a small crack.
"Is that all right?" Gawain asked a little surprised.
Melita smiled: "Improving the convenience of customers as much as possible is the purpose of Mithril Treasury, which can help customers pay their bills better—of course, your bill has been paid seven hundred years ago."
As she spoke, she opened the box completely and handed it to Gao Wen. The latter looked down, only to find that there was only a tarnished crystal inside.
Wait, this crystal looks familiar
Gawain suppressed his doubts temporarily, and looked up at Melita: "Speaking of which, why did you choose to come to me now? Is this also part of the deal agreement back then?"
"That's not true," Melita shook her head lightly, "It's just that we need some time to verify your resurrection. Originally, I planned to meet you on your way to the royal capital, but your trip The route is really... too elegant. I don't know what plan you have to implement, so I just waited for you here in the capital. By the way, I have been waiting here for a long time. The price of rice in the capital is very expensive, and the rent is also expensive. It’s not cheap—but since you’re a VIP customer, you’re not charged for that.”
Gao Wen: "..."
Then you also mention a wool by the way!
Gao Wen turned his head and said quietly: "The price of rice in the royal capital is indeed very expensive, and the guard I raised also eats a lot. I was injured by you this time, and it may cost a lot to recuperate. I will not ask you for this fee." of."
Melita: "…"
This Miss My Little Ony seemed to smile stiffly a couple of times. She couldn't see clearly even though she was wearing a veil. Finally, she shook her head and raised her hand to hand something over: "Then Mr. Gawain Cecil, this transaction has already been completed." Completed satisfactorily, and as a VIP customer of Mithril Treasure Vault, you will receive a gift."
Gao Wen took it curiously, but found that it was a silver-white ring: "What is this?"
"Mithril Ring, every VIP customer will get it after completing the first transaction. Through it, you can always contact your exclusive agent, the VIP Commissioner. If you encounter any financial difficulties in the future, Or if there are treasures that need to be kept by someone else, then you can contact me directly. Of course, if it is a general small service, you can also take this ring directly to the nearest Mithril Treasury agent, which allows you to get Lots of deals."
After speaking, she turned and walked towards the window when she came.
Gao Wen raised the ring in his hand: "Then I hope I will never have the time to borrow money from you."
Melita had already stepped on the window sill again, and when she heard Gao Wen's words, she turned her head and smiled: "Believe me, Mr. Gao Wen, everyone may encounter financial difficulties, and Mithril Treasure House will provide assistance for those who encounter difficulties at any time." Customers leave the door open."
Gao Wen waved his hands as soon as he heard the same rhetoric as promoting credit cards in his previous life: "Okay, okay, I understand, Miss My Little Ony, you should go back quickly, the price of rice here in the capital is quite expensive."
Melita's soles slipped, and she didn't know whether it was because of the price of rice or because of My Little Ony, but she didn't look back this time, but disappeared into the air directly.
A moment later, her figure appeared in a small attic on the top floor of the mansion.
This is a place that basically no one will disturb. It is usually used to store sundries, but now there are more things like bedding, pillows, pots and pans.
Melita is not lying, she has indeed been waiting here for a long time...
While packing her luggage, the agent lady shook her head: "Fortunately, all I eat is your rice."
