Chapter 109 Core Treasure Vault
The main reason she didn't go today was that she had made an appointment with Bishop Elektra seven days ago.
This morning, Bishop Elektra will lead a squad of extraordinary beings from the "Sanctuary" to her home to strengthen the seal on the treasury.
If Altair goes to play now, he'll definitely get covered in blood, and even if he washes up, there will still be traces of blood.
If she is discovered by the Church of the Night's squad, she will need to go through the trouble of explaining herself.
If the explanation doesn't make sense, and some genius in the team comes along, labels her a heretic, and puts her on trial, then she'll be the center of attention.
All these reasons led to Altair's lack of interest in going out to play today.
The two hadn't been sitting in the living room for long when Hahn led Bishop Elektra and others in.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the group got up again, changed direction, and headed towards the Sheffield family's treasury.
After Altair used the key to open the first treasury door, Bishop Elektra, fearing that Altair, participating in treasury maintenance for the first time, might not understand the procedure, explained, "Count Altair, if you wish to maintain your family treasury now, you will need to open the family treasury door."
"If you don't open the vault door, the extraordinary team from the Sanctuary won't be able to get inside to do their maintenance work."
"I don't know if you have the key; it's a black metal piece."
Before Bishop Elektra could finish explaining, Altair smiled and politely interrupted, "It is indeed with me. I was a little stunned just now. I'll go open the vault door now."
As they were talking, Altair took out a key from the handbag on the side of her dress and, as she passed by Hahn, took the dagger he offered.
Looking at the two items in her hand, Altair shook her head with a sigh, thinking to herself, "It seems that the bloodletting process is unavoidable." Before long, she arrived at the entrance of the treasure vault.
With a ripping sound, Altair used his dagger to cut a gash in his palm, continuously squeezing out blood to feed the black iron plate, which kept sucking his blood.
Altair only stuck the key on the door after it started glowing red.
The door made a loud noise after it touched the blood-stained key, and then began to emit a special black mist of various colors.
Out of curiosity, Altair touched the mist with her hand at the doorway. But the moment she touched the mist, her own spirituality issued a "warning."
After sensing the warning, Altair suppressed his fear and slowly took two steps back.
The captain of the vault maintenance team slowly walked over and stood beside Altair, explaining to her, "Countess Altair, this must be the first time you've seen such a scene."
"Yes." Upon hearing this, Altair stopped moving, took out a medicine bottle, and began treating himself, replying casually.
Seeing her reaction, the squad leader shook his head and said to her, "Actually, you don't need to worry about safety. This fog only has a suppressive effect. My squad and I are standing here. Even if you trigger the suppression, we can quickly release you."
"Furthermore, I believe that your treasure vault does not require large-scale repairs at all; it is currently functioning very well."
"The energy was just too concentrated; this is something I haven't seen very often since I started working in this field."
"But I think the root cause is you. You probably didn't open the treasure vault door many times last year—or rather, you didn't open the treasure vault door at all."
"To the best of my knowledge, only this situation could lead to such a high concentration of energy accumulating at the gate."
"You can use it frequently from now on."
"The energy is too high?" Altair repeated the sentence softly, then couldn't help but ask curiously, "What does that mean? And where does the energy of the treasure vault come from? How come I didn't know I had something like this?"
"The energy concentration is too high, which means exactly what it says. The energy allocated to your house has been left unused and has been accumulating, causing it to gather together," the squad leader explained casually to Altair, looking ahead.
After saying that, he added, "Hmm... if I remember correctly, the energy source of your treasury should be the Church of St. Samuel. The treasury's door draws directly from the faith of its believers."
"After all, Backlund is a large city with a permanent population of 500 million, and the 'power of faith' of St. Samuel's Church is virtually inexhaustible."
"In order to avoid wasting this energy, the Church of the Night—no, not just the Church of the Night, but all the major orthodox churches are doing this."
"Each city will, to varying degrees, sell some of its faith power to the extraordinary families to help them suppress their own sealed artifacts."
"To give a simple example: you should know that some sealed artifacts have the characteristic of being 'alive'."
If such a sealed object is not suppressed and sealed, it often requires someone to keep a constant watch over it.
"But doing so is too time-consuming and laborious, so extraordinary families would find churches, build treasure vaults, and purchase some energy to suppress and seal them. This is the simplest and most efficient solution."
"Extraordinary families only need to pay a certain amount of money to seal their own sealed artifacts, which is a very worthwhile thing."
"Of course, if you don't want to use the Church's methods to seal it, then you'll need a large number of demigods or an angel in your family. Once you have such a powerful being, you won't need the Church's help. For example, the Augustus family of the Rune royal family—"
After exchanging only a few words, the black mist surrounding the vault's entrance completely dissipated. Seeing this, the squad leader said to Altair, "We can go in now."
As soon as he finished speaking, the squad leader took the lead and walked into the treasure vault.
Seeing that the squad leader had entered without any unexpected incident, Altair relaxed and slowly walked in as well.
Upon entering the vault, Altair slowly moved her head and looked around. This completely enclosed vault wasn't as dark as she had imagined; instead, the walls were filled with various glowing, unidentified ores, making it quite well-lit.
It has been almost a year since the time travel, and only now has Altair entered the true core treasure trove of the Sheffield family.
After observing it, Altair became familiar with the layout of the vault. It was a closed space, about 100 square meters in size, similar to her room, but the layout was relatively spacious, with wooden frames placed around it.
The empty spaces within the frame are sometimes empty, sometimes filled with boxes, and sometimes sealed with a spiritual wall.
However, perhaps because the seal was too advanced, Altair was unable to see through the items inside the sealed wall using his spiritual power.
The butler, Hahn, who followed closely behind, started rummaging around the doorway after he came in.
Not long after, he found a rather old notebook.
After finding the notebook, he slowly walked towards Altair.
Upon reaching her, Hahn handed the item in his hand directly to Altair.
He then introduced, "Count Altair, this is the ledger of the core layer of the family treasury."
"It records the whereabouts of the various extraordinary properties and materials of the core treasure vault."
"
"The usage, effects, and side effects of sealing items, ————."
"The entry of last year's treasury was led by Earl Rafe Strauss, and I assisted him."
"This year, you will need to personally complete this task. As far as I know, at the height of the family's power, the family treasury was filled to the brim, with very little empty space."
"
