*Clack!*
There was a clicking sound coming from the door when he inserted the key. It turned out the family's treasury was actually Margaretha's stash.
Then again, after listening to Vivi about Alex's thoughts on money, it wouldn't be weird if she was the one handling all the resources the Ardagan family had.
And that was when his ancestors shocked him once again.
The inside of the treasury was dark, but because he had been using his Moon Blessing, he could see the entire treasury in one go.
The Treasury was actually huge enough to make everything he had look small in comparison.
"What is this?" Noel gasped.
The first things that greeted him were shelves after shelves containing small things, from jewelry to other rune items.
If he took a look at the left and right sides, he found mountains of demon crystals just lying around on the floor because there were too many of them.
If he moved deeper, he would find several more shelves that contained weapons and armor. They were exuding some spiritual energy, either from being influenced by the spiritual energy that had been filling this room or something else.
Then again, the entire room had been sealed by runes, which ended up containing the spiritual energy inside.
"Is this really the Treasury? I mean, they possess all these items." Noel felt chills down his spine. "Look at these weapons... There are at least 10 of them that look better than Dimitri's sword.
"Dimitri's sword is already top-notch, its worth is among the top even if we gather all the weapons that the kingdom has. It's thanks to this sword that he is able to assassinate all his targets. Yet, there are ten of them better than that sword.
"However, if I take another look, there are actually thirty weapons of the same grade as Dimitri's swords. I can also see hundreds of weapons that could be considered quality pieces even for Master Blacksmith.
"What's more terrifying is that there are more armor pieces than the weapons. They have everything here, from a gauntlet to full body armor.
"If I just take ten of them here, I would probably earn a few tens of thousands of gold coins."
Noel never expected that a personal stash could be this amazing.
"Is this the peak of the Ardagan family?" Noel smiled wryly.
"The first commandant Dole's black sword, the second commandant Balford's greatsword, the third commandant William's longbow... the fourth commandant..."
Vivi introduced the items one by one, except for one commandant.
"Huh?" Noel suddenly understood why she introduced it like this. "The Eight Commandant?"
"I don't have proof. In fact, I didn't know if there was a traitor or not. As a commandant, I could only speculate that something went wrong because Margaretha was supposed to last longer even against a demon king.
"And the one who protected the city alongside her was the eight commandant Spencer.
"If there was something wrong, it would be him. However, it was said that he had perished from the battle, so there was no one who could confirm it." Vivi explained.
"Spencer..." Noel's expression turned serious. "We have the Supreme Devil Organization... Is it controlled by him?"
"I don't know. Ray has never used his ability on someone else, so there's no way he can stay alive after a thousand years."
"His descendant?"
"Perhaps."
Noel looked down, falling into deep thought. It seemed that the situation was much more serious than he originally thought.
"Do you know his motive?"
"No."
"How about his full name? Is he someone who will use his full name in his family?"
"Maybe. His full name is Spencer Daivantaein."
"I haven't heard any name with Daivantaein." Noel shook his head helplessly.
"Yes. In addition, if he is really the traitor because we can't recover any of his belongings, there's no way Margaretha would know about it. So that's just a baseless accusation of mine."
"But if we know his name, we might be able to find some records about him unless it's completely erased. I'll tell my subordinates to search for his information. For now, we'll return with as many items we can bring and gradually transfer these items to the current Treasury."
