Chapter 99 How Many Secret Rooms Are There in Our House?

After dinner, Aaron hugged Abe and followed his father and housekeeper closely.

He had walked this road many times, but it was the first time he was so nervous.

Vicco stopped in front of a gate, turned around and looked at his son meaningfully, "Are you ready?

Tonight you will learn the secret of the Gaius family's long-lasting prosperity."

Aaron nodded solemnly. He had been to the treasure house more than once or twice. He was very familiar with the things inside. Although rare, they should not be considered secrets.

"You may be a little confused about why I brought you here.

In fact, wizard families with a certain heritage will have their own secret rooms, and our family is no exception."

"It's hidden deep enough!" Aaron sighed, "I've been here so many times, but it seems that I haven't found anything."

"Of course you can't find it, because the important thing is never the treasure house, but the method."

Vicco took out a bunch of keys, all of the same style, but different materials.

Aaron's mouth twitched. He also had a similar key, which was a birthday gift from his grandfather.

"My dear grandson! You have grown up, and it is time for you to know the heritage of our family."

He remembered this sentence clearly, and he was very moved at that time.

But now thinking back, it was all a routine.

The iron key was incomparable to the one in Vico's hand. This one was obviously more high-end, with gold, silver, copper, wood, and some he couldn't even tell what the material was.

"If one key corresponds to one secret room, then... how many secret rooms does our family have?"

"Anyway, it's a little more than you think.

When your grandfather brought me here, my expression was exactly the same as yours, but I was fifteen years old at that time, and my tolerance was much greater.

I won't say much nonsense, today I will let you expand your horizons."

Vico said proudly, and then inserted a key into the keyhole.

"Wait, sir, this is not the one." When Jins saw that the key inserted into the lock was a golden key, his face changed slightly, and he hurriedly reminded him, but he was still a step too late.

Click!

The dazzling golden light shot out from the crack of the door, almost blinding the three people's eyes.

The door opened, and Aaron walked in curiously, and then curiosity turned into astonishment, and his pupils even reflected the symbol of money.

Abe's eyes were also wide open, and he ran out of Aaron's arms and plunged into it, and he couldn't be stopped.

This secret room is very large, and the internal structure is exactly the same as the treasure house.

It's just that there are large wooden boxes that stretch as far as the eye can see, and the wooden boxes are full of gold, silver and jewelry.

But the more visually impactful are the high mountains of gold coins, and gold treasures can be seen everywhere here.

"Oh my God!"

Aaron couldn't help swallowing his saliva. He knew that the Gaius family was not short of money, but he didn't expect that they were not short of money to this extent. He finally understood why Genes always looked nonchalant every time he calculated the accounts of his shop.

There is a mine at home, so this is a house in the mine!

It turns out that his house is built on a mountain of gold.

Aaron grabbed a handful of gold coins, and the heavy feeling made him want to lie down.

It's better to close the shop. This handful is enough for him to squander for more than ten years.

"So, this is the secret of our family?

There is endless money?" Aaron turned around and looked at his father. He was still a little stunned, but he soon found a reason for himself.

Yes, it must be like this.

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, they would be enough to support a kingdom to launch a war lasting decades.

"Son..."

"No, no need to explain." Aaron waved his hand, "I understand that money makes the world go round. Even the Dark Lord has to bow down in front of such a huge fortune."

"Not me..."

"No need to say anything. Let me first accept the fact that he is rich enough to rival a country."

Just as Vico was about to explain, there was a splashing sound. The white holy dragon was swimming in the gold coin pool and having a great time.

Dragons like golden things, and it is no exception.

For Abe, Aaron comes first, food comes second, and the remaining interest is treasure. This place is simply heaven for it.

Aaron rolled his eyes and walked over to pull it out.

Although he was a little speechless, he felt that it was normal for dragons, and he didn't have to worry about it being sold in the future.

After seeing such a rich man, unless someone could move Gringotts here, it really couldn't be moved.

"Son, this is our family's treasury."

"It really lives up to its name!

Is it the same for the other three families?"

"I don't know. The four hidden families are united and help each other, but they also have their own responsibilities. I really don't know about the financial resources.

But even if it is not as good as ours, it should not be much worse. "

Aaron thought so too. After thousands of years of accumulation, it was a bit exaggerated to accumulate a mine, but it was not unacceptable.

"Ahem!" Genes coughed dryly, "Master, shouldn't you do your business?"

"Yes, I almost forgot." Vicco smiled awkwardly but politely, "We are in the wrong place, we have to go to another secret room.

This is just the vault, and the real secret of the family is next."

Aaron also became serious and more curious. It seems that their family has something more important than this treasure.

Vicco led the way in front and walked 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, and a familiar keyhole suddenly appeared in the center of the door.

Vicco took out the key this time, carefully selected the silver key, and inserted it into the keyhole.

"Will you make a mistake this time?"

"Definitely not. "

A creaking sound was heard, and the inside of the door was completely dark, which was much deeper and more mysterious than the magnificent vault.

Aaron and Abe looked back reluctantly, as if they were going to say goodbye to this treasure forever after one look.

"Master, these will all be yours in the future." Genes smiled and shook his head, "So don't be reluctant. "

Aaron stepped into the black secret room, and the door closed as soon as he entered.

Then rows of lights illuminated the darkness, and the things in this secret room once again made Aaron open his eyes wide, but Abei obviously had no interest in it, and turned his dragon face away proudly.

This secret room is relatively small, and there are no large wooden boxes in it. There are only dozens of shelves, and the shelves are full of various cold weapons.

Bows and arrows, long swords, scimitars, daggers, hammers, shields, and various types of armor are all available.

And these weapons are also well maintained, and you can feel the sharp cold light just by getting close.

"Are these... antiques?"

"You are right to say that, any one of them has a history of hundreds of years." Vico explained, "It's a little early for you to come into contact with these at the age of twelve, but there have been more talented people than you before.

About seven hundred years ago, there was a person in the family who entered this secret room when he was ten years old. "

"Is there any difference?"

"Of course there is." Vicco said with some respect, "This ancestor was a high-level magician when he was only ten years old, and his talent was ranked in the top five in the family tree."

"Ten years old? Top five?" Aaron was surprised.

He, who was cheating, only reached this level at the age of eleven. Although he hardly used magic points to improve his own magic power, the difference of a whole year can also explain the problem.

This ancestor is a true genius, a genius among geniuses. Compared with him, Dumbledore and Voldemort can't be ranked.

"Why? Can't accept that there are people who are more powerful than you?"

Vicco looked at his son's surprised look and wanted to laugh. His own son often teased him because of his good talent.

Although his son's success is what he wants, he is also somewhat unhappy.

"There are always people who are better than you. Your talent is just good enough. "

Aaron curled his lips in disdain, "I also have self-knowledge, and I have never thought that I am the best.

But my talent is just good enough, so your talent, father, is..."

"You dare to make up stories about me." Vicco's face darkened, but he soon calmed down, "But what you said is also right, so my job will be much easier."

Aaron's heart skipped a beat, and he always felt that there was something behind the words, "What do you mean?"

"It's not the time for you to know." Vicco changed the subject inconspicuously, "What do you think when you see these weapons?"

Aaron thought for a while, "They should be quite valuable, and their value is not less than gold."

Vicco staggered and almost lost his balance, but thinking that his son had just been dazzled by a large vault, it was understandable that he had such thoughts.

"What else?

Don't you have the urge to try?

These weapons are all excellent products, extremely sharp, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they can cut iron like mud. "

"Not at all." Aaron shook his head calmly, "Times have changed a long time ago. Muggles use firearms in wars. Although cold weapons are not obsolete, they are really not very useful."
