#185 - Great harvest

After receiving Yulia's notification, Anduin began his preparations, starting with various tactical equipment, adjusting them to convenient positions and ensuring they could withstand a small-scale battle. Reading М

Although the probability was low, he couldn't guarantee whether the Travers family would turn their backs and betray him.

Next was the spatial equipment. After all, the amount of materials to be collected was considerable. He emptied the linen space bag he carried and the dragon-hide space bag seized from Tokier, ensuring sufficient volume, as well as plenty of parchment for copying books and equipment, which was readily available in Basement 277.

"The linen space bag only has a year or two left. It seems I'll have to craft a new one after obtaining that batch of materials." Anduin looked at the linen bag in his hand with some emotion. This bag had been with him for almost three years.

Having made all the preparations, he set off for Travers Manor. Originally, Yulia had suggested that he directly enter through the Floo Network.

However, he dared not accept. Just appearing directly in the heart of someone else's family, what if he was surrounded and ambushed? So he chose to enter from the outside.

After arriving at the manor entrance according to the address provided, Anduin began a comprehensive reconnaissance, using the Echo Charm and Raven Flight Charm to confirm everything before daring to enter with peace of mind.

In contrast to Anduin's caution, Yulia had no intention of going back on her word. It wasn't that she didn't want to, but that she didn't dare.

After confirming that day that Tokier had actually died so suddenly, under the heavy protection of a group of Aurors, Yulia couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart. To this day, she still didn't know how Anduin had done it.

Was it a curse? Or a poisoned spell? What if this method was used on us? With this thought, she now just wanted to complete the transaction as soon as possible and stay far away from this boy.

"You've arrived, follow me. I'll hand over all the materials to you first," Yulia said with a dark face, looking at Anduin, who had appeared at her door.

Then Yulia ignored Anduin and led the way straight ahead. The entire manor seemed to be occupied by only the two of them, without anyone else appearing.

Following Yulia into a room, he saw all kinds of materials piled up around him.

It seemed that Yulia didn't intend to let Anduin enter her family's vault, but had transported all the materials she had promised to deliver here.

Looking around, the table in the center of the room was piled high with stacks of gold coins, like a small golden mountain, mixed with a lot of silver Sickles and bronze Knuts.

The Travers family didn't actually have that much cash on hand. To raise this wealth, they even sold a lot of antiques.

Next to the Galleons were piles of various metal materials, some melted into small brick-like metal ingots, but more were various finished metal products.

Anduin saw a lot of goblin silver items, various silver necklaces, bracelets, earrings, silver pots, silver cups, etc. He even saw a stack of goblin silver cutlery, as well as half a mithril candlestick. It seemed the weight was not enough, so it was freshly cut.

Together with other utensils made of 'Agrippa Alloy' and 'Paracelsus Brass', they were piled together, which was quite spectacular.

Next to these metal utensils were three wooden boxes, one large and two small. Anduin first opened the large one and found that it contained that pound of 'goblin Ulian steel', including a metal dagger, a pair of bracelets, a ring, and three-quarters of a belt buckle. It could be seen that these were all alchemical props before, but now the runes engraved on them had been washed away.

Removing the runes is to prevent me from taking advantage? But I don't like your spells, Anduin curled his lips in disdain.

This pound of 'goblin Ulian steel' was very valuable, and was the second most valuable material in this transaction after refined mithril. No wonder it was specially packed up. In that case, the two small boxes next to it should be...

Opening a small box next to it, as expected, it contained those three ounces of refined mithril. Unlike the other metal materials Anduin had seen, they had not been made into utensils, but appeared in their most primitive form.

The refined mithril looked like an irregular round cake, lying flat in the small box without any processing.

The entire metal surface was constantly flashing with rice-grain-sized halos, which was very beautiful, and Anduin could directly establish contact with this metal with his perception without needing to concentrate his mind, no wonder it was known as the best magic-conducting material recognized by the magic world, it really lived up to its name.

Then he opened another small box, and inside was quietly placed a potion bottle containing a golden solution. It seemed that this was Felix Felicis. The manufacturing process of this potion was very complicated. The cycle of making a bottle would take at least half a year, and the materials used were also very precious. This was the first time he had seen it.

In addition to these substances on the table, there was also a pile of fur, medicinal materials and other materials, and the various smells emitted from them mixed together, making the air in the room very turbid.

"Count them," Yulia still had a deadpan expression, she didn't feel comfortable at all seeing her family's wealth about to be taken away.

Anduin nodded, and then began to count them one by one, very carefully. He not only had to check the quality and weight of these substances, but also had to use detection magic to check whether there were any highly poisonous substances and curses hidden on them. The more this was the case, the more he couldn't relax.

Looking at Anduin's cautious appearance, Yulia couldn't help but curl her lips helplessly. Originally, she had evil thoughts, but she was afraid that if she didn't succeed, it would bring disaster to the family. Fortunately, she didn't have any crooked thoughts.

It took nearly an hour for Anduin to count all the materials and confirm that there were no problems. At this time, he nodded slightly relieved, and then put all the materials and Galleons into the space props in categories.

"Very good, the quantity and quality of the materials are fine, next is to copy the books," Anduin nodded to Yulia very satisfied. This woman was still very sensible.

"Hmph, no need for your hypocrisy," Yulia hadn't given him a good look since Anduin came in, "Follow me, the library is upstairs."

Anduin didn't care about Yulia's bad attitude, just followed behind with a smile.

As Yulia pushed open a large ornate double wooden door, the Travers family's library was also displayed in front of him.

The area inside was not very large. After entering the door, there was a long corridor with several long solid wood tables in the middle, and the right side was the wall, with several long sofas placed against the wall.
