·
Jing Shen Tian Si
After dinner, Aaron hugged Abe and followed closely behind his father and the housekeeper.
He has walked this road many times, but it was the first time he was so nervous.
Vico stopped in front of a gate, turned around and looked at his son meaningfully, "Are you ready?
Tonight you will learn the secret to the longevity of the Gaius family. "
Aaron nodded solemnly. He has been to the treasure house more than once or twice, and the things inside are very familiar. Although rare, it should not be considered a secret.
"You may be wondering why I brought you here.
In fact, any wizarding family with a certain heritage will have its own secret room, and our family is no exception. "
"It's hidden deep enough!" Aaron said with emotion, "I've been around here so many times, but I don't seem to find anything."
"Of course you can't find it, because the important thing is never the treasure house, but the method."
As Vico spoke, he took out a bunch of keys, all of the same style, but with different materials.
The corner of Aaron's mouth couldn't help twitching, he also had the same key, which was a birthday present from his grandfather before.
"My dear grandson! You have grown up too, so it's time for you to know the background of our family."
He remembered this sentence clearly, and it touched him badly at the time.
But now that I think about it, they are all routines.
The iron keys are incomparable to the ones in Vico's hands, this one is obviously taller, there are gold, silver, copper, wooden, and a few others that he can't say no to. What is the material.
"If a key corresponds to a secret room, then... how many secret rooms are there in our house?"
"It's a little more than you think anyway.
When your grandfather brought me here, my expression was exactly the same as yours, but I was 15 years old at the time, and I was much more able to bear it.
I won’t talk nonsense anymore, let you increase your knowledge today. "
Vico said proudly, and then inserted a key into the lock.
"Wait, master, it's not this one." When Jins saw that the golden key was inserted into the keyhole, his face changed slightly, and he hurriedly reminded him, but it was still a step too late.
Click!
Dazzling golden light shot out from the crack of the door, almost dazzled the three people's eyes.
The door opened, and Aaron walked in full of curiosity, and then the curiosity turned into astonishment, and the pupils even reflected the symbol of money.
Abei's longan was also wide-eyed, and he ran out of Aaron's arms and plunged into it, unable to stop him.
This secret room is very large, and its internal structure is exactly the same as that of the treasure house.
It's just that there is a large wooden box that can't be seen at a glance, and the wooden box is full of gold, silver and jewelry.
But the more visual impact is the mountains of gold coins piled up high, where gold treasures can be seen everywhere.
"Oh my god!"
Aaron couldn't help swallowing. He knew that the Gaius family was not short of money, but he didn't expect it to be so. He finally understood why Jins would always A look of indifference.
There is a mine at home, so he has a home in the mine!
Dare to feel that his house is built on a golden mountain.
Aaron grabbed a handful of gold coins, and the heavy feeling gave him the idea of lying down.
It's better to close the shop or something, this one is enough for him to squander for more than ten years.
"So, this is our family secret?
Have more money than you can spend? "Aaron turned around and looked at his father, still a little overwhelmed, but soon he found a reason for himself.
Yes, it must be so.
No matter who you are, no matter what you want to do, you can't do without money.
If the assets of the Gaius family were placed hundreds of years ago, it would be enough to support a kingdom to launch a war that lasted for decades.
"son..."
"No, there's no need to explain." Aaron waved his hand, "I understand the reason why money can make ghosts go round. Even the Dark Lord has to bow his head in front of such huge wealth."
"not me..."
"Needless to say, let me first accept the fact that the rich can rival the country."
Just as Vico was about to explain, there was a clattering sound from the side, and the white holy dragon was swimming in the gold coin pool, having a great time.
Dragons like golden things, and this one is no exception.
For Abe, Aaron came first, food came second, and the rest was treasure, and this place was heaven for him.
Aaron rolled his eyes, walked over and yanked it out.
Although a little speechless, I feel that it is the natural feeling of a dragon, and I don't have to worry about it being sold in the future.
Having seen this kind of wealth, unless someone can move Gringotts here, it really won't impress it.
"Son, this is our family's treasury."
"It really lives up to the name!
Is it the same for the other three families? "
"I don't know, the four hermit families are united and help each other, but they also perform their duties. I really don't know about financial resources.
But even if it's not as good as ours, it shouldn't be much worse. "
Aaron thought the same thing. After thousands of years of accumulation, it is a bit exaggerated to build a mine, but it is not unacceptable.
"Ahem!" Jins coughed dryly, "Master, should you get down to business?"
"Yes, I almost forgot." Vico smiled awkwardly but politely, "We came to the wrong place, we have to go to another secret room.
This is just the treasury, and what follows is the real secret of the family. "
Aaron also became serious, and became more curious in his heart. It seemed that their family had something more important than this treasure.
Vico led the way to the end of the vault.
He stood there for a while, and the wall began to shake slowly. A huge amount of gold coins scattered to both sides, revealing an identical door, with a familiar keyhole suddenly appearing in the center of the door.
Vico took out the bunch of keys this time, carefully selected the silver key, and inserted it into the lock.
"You won't make a mistake this time, will you?"
"Certainly not."
There was a creaking sound, and the inside of the door was pitch black, which was much deeper and more mysterious than the grandeur of the vault.
Aaron and Abe looked back reluctantly, as if they were about to say goodbye to this treasure after one glance.
"Master, these will be yours from now on." Jins shook his head with a smile, "So don't be reluctant."
Aaron stepped into the black secret room, and as soon as he entered, the door closed.
Immediately afterwards, rows of lights illuminated the darkness, and the things in this secret room made Aaron's eyes widen again, but Abe obviously couldn't arouse any interest, and arrogantly turned the dragon's face away.
This secret room was relatively small, and there were no large wooden boxes in it, but only dozens of shelves filled with all kinds of cold weapons.
Bows, swords, machetes, daggers, hammers, shields, and all kinds of armor are available.
Moreover, these weapons are also well maintained, and you can feel the sharp coldness just by getting close.
"These are...antiques?"
"You are right in saying that, any one of these has a history of hundreds of years." Vico explained, "It is a little early for you to be exposed to these at the age of 12, but it is not that there were no more geniuses than you before." .
About 700 years ago, there was a member of the family who entered this secret room when he was ten years old. "
"Does that make any difference?"
"Of course there are." Vico said with some reverence, "This ancestor was a high-level magician when he was only ten years old, and his talent can be ranked among the top five in the genealogy."
"Ten years old? Top five?" Aaron was surprised.
He was only 11 years old when he opened up and reached this level. Although he hardly used magic points to improve his magic power, the gap of a whole year can also explain the problem.
This ancestor is a true genius, a genius among geniuses, and Dumbledore and Voldemort are not even ranked in comparison with him.
"Why? Can't you accept someone stronger than you?"
Vico looked at his son's surprised appearance and wanted to laugh a little. His son often teased himself because of his talent.
Although it was his wish for his son to be promising, he was somewhat unhappy.
"There is a sky beyond the sky, and there are people beyond the people. Your little talent is only on the stage."
Aaron curled his lips in disdain, "I also have self-knowledge, and I never felt that I was number one.
But my talent is only on the stage, so father, your talent is just..."
"You dare to arrange Lao Tzu." Vico's face darkened, but he calmed down quickly, "But what you said is also good, so my job is much easier."
Aaron's heart jumped, and he always felt that there was something in these words, "What do you mean?"
"This is not the time for you to know." Vico changed the subject without a trace, "Do you have any thoughts after seeing these weapons?"
Aaron thought for a while, "They should be quite valuable, not less valuable than gold."
Vico staggered and almost failed to stand still, but thinking that his son was dazzled by a large vault just before, it is understandable to have such a thought.
"anything else?
Don't you have the urge to try?
These weapons are all excellent products, extremely sharp, it is not an exaggeration to say that they can cut iron like mud. "
"Not at all." Aaron shook his head lightly. "The times have changed long ago. Muggle wars are all guns. Although cold weapons will not be eliminated, they are really not very useful."
He has walked this road many times, but it was the first time he was so nervous.
Vico stopped in front of a gate, turned around and looked at his son meaningfully, "Are you ready?
Tonight you will learn the secret to the longevity of the Gaius family. "
