The vault with No. less than 100 will not be opened?
Although the chief goblin has explained that this is for safety, if so, why doesn't Guling Pavilion simply suspend all services? Even if it is not disguised as a ruin like the dark spirit Pavilion, at present, stopping business seems to be a reasonable choice.
However, Guling pavilion not only did not do that, but only limited the vault within 100... Is it a bit like trying to cover up?
I remember that the smaller the number of the Treasury number of Guling Pavilion, the bigger and more important the Treasury is. The vaults below 100 are usually owned by Wizard families who have accumulated a lot of wealth. These families usually store many valuable but not practical collections here, and generally do not use them very much.
Obviously, if Maka didn't need it today, Mr. Parkinson wouldn't be able to open the family Treasury. This means that no one will notice it at all.
Presumably, the goblins of Guling Pavilion had such consideration, so they used the appearance of normal service provision to cover up, and did not choose to close the whole underground vault. Because in that case, people will tell the truth afterwards.
Of course, the premise must be that Guling Pavilion is really planning something in the dark.
"Don't you open it within 100?" Maka thought and quickly took a shortcut. "Forget it. Go to my vault instead! 213 -"
As he spoke, he took out his Treasury key from his waist and put it on the counter.
Originally, when I first came to Guling pavilion to rent the vault, because Maka didn't have much money at that time, I only used the smallest model with a number of more than 1000. It was not until he made more money that he replaced it with a medium-sized vault deeper underground.
Now Maka is a little lucky. Because the next vault is occupied, he could only change the vault with a number of more than 200 at that time. If he had been changed to No. 100 at that time, he would have to sneak in with Mr. Parkinson today.
"Oh... 213, um... OK."
The chief goblin picked up the key and looked at it. After a little meal, he nodded.
"Pull the ring, take Mr. McLean and Mr. Parkinson to 213... You know, take the track of thief proof waterfall!"
"Yes, sir."
On the seat nearby, one of his assistants jumped down from the high stool, bypassed the counter and motioned to Maka and them:
"This way, please, gentlemen."
Maka shrugged, put away the staff in her hand, and even followed the chief assistant named "pull ring" to the side channel. Parkinson behind him saw it. Although he looked a little confused, he quickly put his key and ran after it.
They followed the pull ring from the side door corridor to the rear of the hall, and passed through three safe passages guarded by goblins. Only then did they reach a place like Muggle subway station.
There are many tramcar tracks densely arranged here, and below the vertically and horizontally interwoven tracks is a huge pit with no bottom.
Just standing on the edge and looking down, it's like going straight to hell. People with acrophobia certainly don't like this place very much.
It is worth mentioning that the underground vault of Guling Pavilion is definitely much deeper than the dark spirit Pavilion - the deepest part of the two may be similar, but the dark spirit Pavilion itself is underground after all, which is undoubtedly determined by their location.
"This way, please."
The pull ring pointed to the second track in his right hand, walked forward, raised his legs and kicked on the track. Then I saw a mine car suddenly fall off their heads and accurately fall on the tracks.
Then he turned over and climbed in first.
"Come on, Mr. Parkinson."
Maka turned her head and motioned for the other party to follow. Then he took a slightly narrow mining car. After Parkinson came up, the pull ring immediately pushed the pull rod in the middle forward, and the mine car suddenly slid out along the track with the three people.
With the tramcar running fast, sometimes spinning and sometimes diving, the pull ring is constantly breaking the pull rod left and right to switch the turnout, making the tramcar shake very badly.
In some places, even a section of railway track is missing, and the tramcar leaps over by relying on inertia.
Seriously, if any Muggle playground dares to build such a roller coaster, it will definitely lose money.
During this period, they also passed a huge waterfall. The flowing water curtain looked very real, but when the harvester passed through the middle, it didn't touch any spray.
This is the anti thief waterfall in the underground vault of Guling Pavilion. It is said that all vicious spells with lasting effect will be washed away when passing through. Even before, there were interesting stories of witches who suffered a strong curse who dispelled the curse for free.
When Maka passed there, she had to secretly cast magic to stop it, so as not to wash away some eternal magic she left on the run.
Before long, just as he slightly tilted his neck to look deeper into the huge pit, the pull ring suddenly pulled the metal rod back. Then, with a spark and a harsh "creak", the harvester stopped immediately.
"Vault 213 is here. Please get off."
Seeing that the pull ring was about to jump on the nearby rock platform, Parkinson subconsciously wanted to move, but Maka sitting next to him gently pulled each other.
"Mr. Parkinson, do you remember the exact location of your family treasury?"
"Ah?"
The other party was stunned when he heard the speech.
"Oh... No, actually, I seldom come to Guling Pavilion, and you see, these tracks are in a mess, and most people really can't remember."
"There's no way."
Maka nodded her head and suddenly looked at the goblin pull ring that had been transferred to the rock wall platform. Her eyes twinkled with the power of some soul rules.
"My 213 doesn't need to be opened. Now take us to vault 83!"
"Oh, that won't work. We can only... Can only..."
The pull ring said in a daze, and his expression became more and more hesitant, as if he had encountered a problem that caused him to have psychological contradictions. But at the end, he nodded slowly,
"... well, No. 83... But we may meet President argot below. He... He won't let you in."
"Really?" Maka nodded slightly. "What is he doing there? Are you going to take the biggest vaults for yourself?"
"Take it as your own"? No, no... "The pull ring said vaguely," we're just cleaning up some large vaults that no one inherits... They have been unclaimed. They are abandoned property. Whoever finds them belongs to him. "
Maka shook her head when she heard the speech, and then said to Parkinson nearby, "it seems that at least your vault should be all right."
Then he turned to the pull ring and asked:
"Another question - why did you choose this time to clean up the Treasury? Is it difficult... Do you want to run away?"
Before the voice fell, I heard the pull ring immediately answer:
"Whether we run or not depends on the situation... We have just received a notice from the same family of the dark spirit Pavilion. We Guling Pavilion and the dark spirit Pavilion unanimously decided not to participate in the struggle outside... Therefore, if diagonally alley is still there, we will not run; if diagonally alley is not kept, we will immediately retreat into the ruins of the underground old country."
"Underground old country?"
As soon as Maka heard this, she suddenly picked her eyebrows, and her heart couldn't help moving slightly.
Yes, he also knows that goblins used to have their own country, but the goblins recorded in history are located on the ground like humans. They just like to live in hollowed out caves by nature.
But later, even if the goblins were tenacious, their land had been compressed and eroded by wizards. In particular, several wizard wars implicated the goblins in the country, and finally led to their complete destruction.
This, in fact, was just a few hundred years ago.
However, according to the situation mentioned by the pull ring, the goblin kingdom may not have been completely destroyed at the beginning, but chose to go deep underground to preserve its power in order to avoid war.
No wonder later, after the war subsided a little, many goblins emerged from every corner and took advantage of the post-war chaos to sneak into the wizard society.
However, Maka is not interested in the survival of the goblin kingdom. What he is most concerned about now is how big is the so-called "underground old country site" in the pull ring mouth?
According to the current situation, it may be the last way out for them to fight with Haier Bo!
"Well, anyway," Marca shook her head. "Pull the ring, take us to vault 83. Don't worry about anything else."
It is obviously too early to consider those things. Although it is necessary to plan ahead, it is obvious that there are more and more urgent things to do at present.
Soon, Maka put the pull ring on the harvester again and continued to drive deeper into the underground vault.
