Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 521: Lin Lang's Secret Collection

"Gold! It's all gold! I love you, babies!" Walsh danced and grabbed a gold bar and kissed it, then quickly tossed it into his pocket. Then, he grabbed the gold bars with both hands and put them on his body, as if he wished he could put all the gold bars on this shelf into his pocket.

Alan swept his eyes. There were three shelves like this, and each shelf was filled with gold bars. That brilliant yellow light was enough to shine in the eyes of the Flower Cultivator. Not to mention Walsh, even he was tempted. He patted Walsh on the shoulder and said, "You'd better not take these things."

"Why? Sir, you promised me that you would give me some benefits!" Walsh cried out anxiously, looking like he was going to fight Alan to the death.

Alan finally knew what it meant to regard wealth as fate, let alone whether he had ever agreed to such a condition. Even if he had promised, he did not say that he would give gold. Ellen shook his head and said, "Take a look at the gold bars first. Are there any marks on them?"

Walsh suddenly woke up and turned the gold bars in his hands upside down. Sure enough, there was a unicorn mark on the gold bars. Walsh didn't give up and casually flipped a few more bars, but he was no exception. Alan then said, "See, these are marked by Daniel. If you take them away and use them, they will attract Daniel's attention. Even if you take them all away, you can only watch. What's the use?"

"Am I just busy for nothing?" Walsh said with a sad face.

"Not necessarily. There's so much gold here. There's no guarantee that there's jewelry or anything else. Those things shouldn't be marked unless Daniel wants to destroy their value. You can take a few things out and spread them out to the black market auction houses. The money you get is small, but it's still useful and safe."

Walsh's eyes lit up. "Thank you for your reminder, my lord."

He immediately put the gold back and went deeper into the warehouse. It was time to rummage through the jewelry and other valuables. Alan wasn't in a hurry either. He looked over one shelf at a time. Daniel placed dozens of identical metal shelves in the secret vault, each piled with items. Apart from the first gold bars, there were also jewelry, jade, antiques, equipment, and so on.

On one of the shelves, there was only a box on the top shelf. Opening it, it was filled with a stack of savings certificates. The one at the top had a denomination of a million gold coins. As for how much was inside, Alan could not imagine. He took out the voucher and casually flipped through a few. Basically, these items were anonymous and should be Daniel's reward from someone else.

He did not hesitate, stuffing all of the vouchers into the inner layer of his armor. He took out two casually and stuffed them onto Walsh, who was rummaging through the armor. Then, he went straight ahead.

Walsh was looking for him, but he couldn't react for a moment. The man smiled from ear to ear when he saw that there were two anonymous vouchers in his arms that added up to hundreds of thousands of gold coins.

The further he went, the less things there were on the shelves. However, all of these items were exquisite, like a sword sheathed in gemstones. Just this scabbard alone was priceless. Daniel tagged the sword with information about its origins, history, and estimated value. It could be seen that the items behind were almost all Daniel's treasures.

As he walked, Alan stopped in front of a saber.

The shelf in front of him was also filled with only one artifact. Allen's gaze fell on the saber. It had a simple shape, with a wide front and a wide back. The tip of the saber was more like a bayonet, and the blade was dark red. It looked like it had been soaked in blood for years before it was fished out. The face of the saber was dark red, as if it would flow like blood after staring at it for a long time.

This strange saber didn't have a jaw, and the blade and hilt were one. However, the hilt of the knife was wrapped in a white-gray strip of cloth. The fabric of the strip had already cracked, and it could be seen that it was something that had been around for some years. Compared to the sword filled with gemstones, this strange saber was incomparably crude. However, judging from Daniel's rules, the deeper the warehouse, the more valuable the item was.

As for this strange saber, it was three metal shelves deeper than the treasured sword from before. It was enough to show how valuable it was.

There was also a label on the shelf. There were a few lines written on it, detailing the origin of the saber. Alan scanned it and understood a rough idea. This saber was called Xue Yin. It was the love saber of General Austan, the famous general of the empire two hundred years ago. Austan used the saber to conquer the Outer Realm. The saber was filled with enemy blood. The color of the saber had changed from silver to dark red, as if fresh blood was hidden inside the blade. Hence, it was named after Austan.

This saber was extremely heavy. Even if an ordinary warrior wielded a saber with both hands, it would still be very difficult to defend against the enemy. Seeing that Daniel also kept it in the secret vault, rather than with him, it was obvious that he was not used to using heavy blades. However, Allen was accustomed to using Qianjun, and now it was difficult for him to get used to using those weapons that weren't worth much. The Bloody Hidden Saber had a rough appearance and looked more suitable for battle. Allen reached out to hold the hilt of the saber and gently lifted it.

Sure enough, the blade felt like a mountain, and it was even two points heavier than Qianjun. Allen took a breath, circulated his Origin Energy, and took the Blood Concealment off the shelf. When he injected Origin Energy into the blade, the dark red blood color on the blade slowly melted away, forming a dense blood energy beneath the blade, which wrapped around the blade without dissipating. Ellen was slightly surprised. This saber was clearly not a magical weapon, nor was it a Origin Weapon. However, it was as extraordinary as Broy's Hammer of Extinction.

The blood energy wrapped around the blade was even more condensed from an incomparably murderous aura. However, how many people would he have to kill to form such a murderous aura that could be condensed into substance. Moreover, this murderous aura was only stimulated by the blade itself. Thinking of it this way, wherever the Blood Lion General went back then, it should be a scene of hell with corpses everywhere.

Allen was very satisfied with Xue Yin. Just the amount and killing intent of his blood energy were not inferior to Qian Jun's. Qianjun was also a sharp weapon, but when used on the battlefield, he was slightly inferior to Xue Yin. Alan decided to use the Blood Concealment, but it was inconvenient to carry such a big fellow around in the secret vault, so he first put the Blood Concealment back, and then walked to another shelf.

After Blood Hidden, there were only two metal frames left. One of them had nothing on it. It was really strange. The other had two boxes. Alan first opened the one on the left. This was a cotton box, covered with soft cotton satin. There was a fist-sized, jade-colored bottle inside. Alan lifted the lid of the bottle slightly and smelled a strong smell of blood rushing out of it.

When he smelled this blood energy, a roar like that of a ferocious beast suddenly resounded in his mind. Allen restrained his mind and focused his attention. The strange voice quietly disappeared. He couldn't help but look at the bottle. It seemed to contain the blood of some kind of ferocious beast. The blood of a ferocious beast that could affect his mind was also peculiar. He then looked at the label under the box, which read "Ten Thousand Beast Blood Essence".

There was a simple explanation below, to the effect that this blood essence was extracted from the blood essence of a variety of powerful wild beasts. The Blood Essence was usually sold to the nobles who kept the ferocious beasts. They could maximize the potential of the ferocious beasts. If it was a particularly powerful beast, the Ten Thousand Beast Blood Essence could also urge it to evolve and transform, so as to achieve the goal of rebirth and transformation.

Daniel allowed the Ten Thousand Beast Blood Essence to be stored in the secret vault. Naturally, he didn't have any suitable beasts on hand, so he could only store them away.

Alan closed the cotton box and walked to the other box on the right. The box was obviously much larger than the one before, in the shape of a rectangle. When Alan's hand touched it, he felt a trace of coldness. He opened it and a cold mist gushed out of the box. Alan's armor immediately condensed into thin pieces of frost. He blew away the cold mist before opening the box completely.

The box was shrouded in a cold mist, but under the grey mist, there was a hint of fire. After a while, the cold mist in the box dissipated slightly. Inside, one could see an uneven rock. The stone was pitch black like iron, and the surface was embedded with bright red crystals of all sizes. These crystals emitted dense heat, and when they met the cold air that surrounded them, they triggered a stream of water vapor.

Alan closed the lid and looked at the label below. It was clearly written on the label that the item in the box was called the Heart of the Fire God, and it was a rare source stone. When Alan saw the red crystals of all sizes melt into liquid form at high temperatures, he would use special forging methods to fuse them with weapons. Even if it was a mortal object, it would become a divine weapon.

The Fire God's Heart would give the weapon a blazing flame aura, which would be used by experts. It could even use Origin Energy to evoke the resonance of the Fire God's Heart, causing it to produce a flame aura that was akin to a prison fire. Flame breath was divided into three grades, distinguished by color. The flame aura emitted by ordinary experts was crimson, while those emitted by Marquis level experts were dark red. When they reached the hands of a Saint realm expert, the flame aura would be black and red. That was the most terrifying flame aura, and it would melt everything, just like the legendary dragon flame!

The more Allen looked at it, the more excited he became. His ability to engrave was closely related to flames. Now that he had developed a secret combat skill, it was also closely related to flames. This Fire God's Heart was compatible with his ability, so if he used it properly, it would naturally increase his combat strength.

However, after reading the Heart of the Fire God, Allen's heart was filled with questions. He thought that Daniel was only a viscount. Even if he was a viscount of strength, the amount of treasures he had in this secret vault far exceeded the power of a viscount. The first gold jewelry was also considered a child. The Blood Hidden Saber, Myriad Beast Blood Essence, and Fire God's Heart that he saw behind him were all extremely precious items.

With Ou Ban's wealth, it would probably be difficult to gather these three treasures, much less Daniel, who was just a viscount. There seemed to be a lot of secrets hidden in Daniel's body.
