Chapter 949: Treasury and Murals
— The wolf butler suddenly turned around and lowered his tie, as if preparing for action.
— Really? Then just wait until you turn into a pile of trash. After you become useless, maybe Alice will create a new wolf butler?
Hearing the "New Wolf Butler", his face contorted. He wasn't afraid of death. What he feared the most was that Alice would create a new wolf butler and forget about him.
— Or has your abnormal loyalty turned into love? When the new wolf butler arrives, you'll just be a bunch of different materials. Your Queen Alice will forget you, or rather, will only see you as a new butler... I wonder what your replacement will look like~, " Su Xiao's words were like a knife that repeatedly pierced the wolf butler's heart, even though it didn't have a heart as such.
— It's absolutely impossible, the Queen will never forget me, " the wolf butler's hands were shaking. This was his biggest fear. He'd been with Alice too long. In fact, he never really thought about it. He just wanted to stand behind Alice, but right now, he was about to turn into a pile of lifeless alchemy materials.
— Who knows, by the way, I created the alchemy crow half a month ago. Thanks to you, I remembered it, so where did I put it?… Ah, here it is, " Su Xiao said and pulled out an alchemy crow from the inventory. In fact, he hadn't forgotten about it. He had already helped him with many things more than once.
Seeing the alchemy crow in Su Xiao's hand, the wolf butler's pupils narrowed.
— I created this little toy by accident. He can transmit to me what he sees for himself. Unfortunately, the alchemy array that underlies it will soon break down.
Bubtney rolled his eyes. Although his master had said all this, he definitely remembered that Su Xiao had put it away in the inventory every time for safety.
— Soon it will become a pile of used materials. It cannot be repaired. As for the fact that I can turn it into a living being, I don't have the ability to do so right now.
The wolf butler stared intently at the alchemy crow in Su Xiao's hand, it made him think about himself.
It will definitely soon become a pile of materials that will gather dust somewhere in the castle. In the part of the castle where no games were held. Maybe if he was lucky, he would become a castle decoration while the new wolf butler accompanied Alice.
— Haven't you noticed?
— The wolf butler's thoughts were suddenly interrupted by Su Xiao.
— You were created from materials... Which have already been used. Yes, you've become a substitute for some wolf butler. Are you the second or hundredth wolf butler? What happened to the past? Where is he? Maybe Alice added a new core to the old butler and here you are. You know, we alchemists often use things that have already played a role once.
Su Xiao's words were no longer a knife, but a rocket that landed directly on the wolf butler's head.
The wolf butler was stunned. As he pondered this, he froze in place.
Ever since he began to realize himself, he clearly remembered that on his first day, all the old residents of the castle treated him as if they were very familiar with him.
Seeing the wolf butler's reaction, Su Xiao's eyes twitched. He'd just made a wild guess, and it looked like he was right.
Before the wolf butler, there was another wolf butler.
— Whether the process of alienation takes place... Risks for the alchemist? The wolf butler asked, regaining his composure.
— Who knows? I don't know much about alienation, " Su Xiao said and fell silent.
The seed was planted. When this seed would germinate depended on how much time the wolf butler had left. An advanced alchemy creature like him could live for a very long time.
For example, several hundred years.
*Boom*
The wooden house stopped, and the wolf butler immediately opened the door.
The butler's hostility didn't disappear and even became stronger, but now he didn't show it directly.
As for the joint death, now that he has hope, the wolf butler is unlikely to decide to die, unless of course Alice tells him to go for it.
Su Xiao walked out of the wooden house and entered the treasury. To be precise, it was more like a palace.
The treasury had many stone pillars and rows of ancient wooden shelves.
There were so many wooden shelves that no end could be seen.
Alice's collection totaled 1,582,043 items. With this number, one could imagine how huge her treasure trove was.
The lighting in the treasury was a little dim, giving it a hint of dark gold. The red carpet on the floor was embroidered with gold threads, and there were several murals on the ceiling.
Su Xiao stopped and took a closer look at them.
In the first mural, a woman with a long sword in her hands was fighting a man with the head and body of a wolf. Next to them was an iron cage, and this cage was pitch-black.
In the second mural, a woman held a long sword high, and her eyes were blood-red.
In the third mural, the woman's arm was broken and the surrounding area was full of holes, but the woman was stepping on an iron cage with one foot.
In the fourth mural, the woman's hand was fine, and the blade of her sword was dripping with blood. In her other hand, she held a wolf's head, but the iron cage wasn't in this mural.
In the fifth mural, a headless body held an iron cage. Two arms protruded from this cage and held onto the arms of the headless body.
In the sixth mural, a headless body was lying on the ground, and the cage was open.
There were six murals in all, and they seemed to tell the same story. Su Xiao felt that the wolf butler was somewhat similar to the man who confronted that woman, but it was only a vague resemblance.
After the sixth mural, there was one line: "Silver Erbo, the love of my life, you traded your life for my freedom. What I want is to never live in poverty. In my castle you will live forever».
Su Xiao realized that Alice was facing a crisis, but was saved by her boyfriend, Silver Erbo.
One thing Su Xiao was sure of was that the wolf butler was clearly not this guy. The details of his appearance and temperament were different. Perhaps the wolf butler was a replacement for this guy, a very controversial replacement.
His body was a cell, and the core gave him life.
Perhaps it meant "imprisonment" and " salvation»?
The wolf butler also looked at the murals. "You have ten minutes," the wolf butler said as he walked deeper into the treasury.
— Su Xiao muttered and looked around. He felt that he had been cheated. There were indeed a large number of items displayed on the shelves around him, but they were all 'ordinary' — there was nothing special about them. When he touched one of them, he wasn't surprised.
[A cup.
Quality: Sealed.
Type: Sealed.
Rating: Sealed.
Description: Sealed.]
Other than the name, everything else was sealed. The items in Alice's treasury must have been very good? No. More than 90% of these items were "gifts" that were given to Alice by players.
On a wooden shelf not far from Su Xiao, there was a very familiar item. It was a pair of glasses.
They belonged to Wash.
This wasn't unexpected. Alice's treasure trove contained 1,582,043 items. No, rather, already 1 582 044.
There must have been a lot of trinkets in such a large collection. They could be white, green, or blue in quality.
After all, the value of the items in this treasure trove didn't lie in the actual value of the item, but in who the item belonged to.
And right now, Su Xiao had to find something good from this huge collection, which was quite a difficult task.
