The distraction method was very effective, and the pain from the broken leg was significantly reduced.

On the podium, Victor was still talking non-stop.

Seventy percent of the buildings in Brevo have been destroyed, and a large number of corpses are still hidden under the rubble and ashes waiting to be cleared. Is it really appropriate to give endless speeches at this time?

Of course it is appropriate. It is precisely because we are at the lowest point that the people need guidance. Even if most of the speech is nonsense, it is still very necessary.

After all, people are creatures who have to deceive themselves in order to survive. Victor must inspire people's enthusiasm for life, otherwise they will remain immersed in sadness, and the entire society will be doomed.

Of course, besides empty words, there are also some practical things.

For example, give money.

All the adventurers and guards who participated in the battle received a considerable bonus, and those who died in battle also received pensions. Although it is a bit philistine to talk about money in everything, at this time, money is indeed the best way to reward.

Brevo's family is well-off, and the small amount of money he paid will not break his bones. This is all thanks to the economic stabilization policy during the reign of King Brevo 13, so rebuilding it should not be troublesome.

Of course, those guys like Pei Renli and others who went deep into the enemy's territory and attacked Huanglong also got the biggest reward.

Victor planned to erect sculptures of fallen priests and paladins in the city and name newly built streets after them to commemorate their sacrifices.

The living people, in addition to giving money, also gave the official.

When everything happened, almost all the nobles were in the palace, and almost all the nobles died suddenly on the spot. Victor was now struggling to find an official who could help him manage the country.

Therefore, invitations and solicitations were sent out to all adventurers who could do arithmetic and were literate.

Before the speech, he had talked to Perenli, hoping that Perenli could stay as his palace magic consultant. If he was willing to work part-time, he could also try a confidential position like the Minister of Finance. He also expressed implicitly that as long as he made some achievements,

Then Pei Renli can be justifiably named a true hereditary noble.

The treatment of others is similar. For example, Varela was appointed captain of the palace guard, but she hasn't woken up yet, so she doesn't know.

Because Elyse and Michelle are organized people, it is difficult to poach people directly. Victor told Michelle that it would be best for the Temple of Dawn to open a branch in Brevoir. He was willing to support Los Angeles as well as Heronis.

Shanda.

This may be related to the fear of being beaten by demons. Temples with multiple good gods provide a sense of security.

In short, as long as Pei Renli nods, they can go directly from adventurers who exchange their lives for money to important members of a sovereign country.

But everyone chose to decline, which made Victor's self-esteem a little hurt, maybe because he suspected that he had no leadership ability.

Pei Renli even thought that you might as well give me a discount...

Then Victor really gave it a discount.

In addition to retaining the title of honorary noble for everyone, the bonuses are also generously distributed.

Taking into account Pei Renli's achievements in the past two days, he was given an emerald worth thousands of gold coins in exchange for just gold coins.

With it, Pei Renli's money suddenly became much looser, and he also had magic items as rewards that were more precious than gems.

However, this will have to wait until Victor's speech is over before it can be realized, because the items have not been taken out from the treasure house.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

Victor has a lot of reconstruction work that needs him to preside over, and the first thing he needs to do is to reward those who have made contributions.

This is also related to the fact that Pei Renli and the others do not plan to stay in Brevoir any longer, and plan to retreat back to the Adventurer School after Varela recovers from her injuries.

So after the speech, Victor led Perenli and Michelle to the treasure house. The rewards for the others would be chosen by themselves after they woke up. Anyway, Perenli couldn't wait to get them first.

With several personal guards, Victor walked around the severely damaged palace. Pei Renli couldn't wait to lead them to the palace garden when he even doubted whether Victor really knew the location of the treasure house.

You can see a staircase going down here, which feels like a basement. The first thing you see after entering is a dark wall without even a light. At first glance, it looks like an underground storage room.

The only thing that makes people a little bit concerned is the black iron wooden door on the wall.

This is the treasure trove of the royal family of Brevoir.

The royal family's treasury is different from the kingdom's treasury. The latter cannot be used casually even by the king, and the money inside belongs to the country. The former is a private treasury belonging to the royal family, and the treasury contains nothing but money, but the treasure treasury...

…

Victor took off a lantern from the wall, lit it with tinder and hung it up again. Finally, he pricked his finger with a needle and smeared the blood on a square metal plate of the black iron wooden door.

The next moment, I heard the door lock click softly, as if it was opened.

It seems that the treasure house has no defense. In fact, the entire treasure house is covered by magic. If the opening conditions cannot be met, even if the entire palace is dug up, it will be impossible to open the treasure house.

The conditions for opening Brevo's royal treasury are 'royal blood, voluntary donation'.

Victor turned around, motioned with his eyes to the guards to guard the door, and then said to Perrenli and Michelle:

"This is the first time since the founding of Brevo that the treasure house has been opened to outsiders. I believe we can find a reward that satisfies both of you."

As he spoke, he pushed open the simple wooden door, and the magic lamp arranged behind the door lit up at the same time.

It's hard to imagine that the treasure house is located underground because its ceiling is too high and its area is too large.

The first thing that catches the eye is a large number of expensive-looking paintings, statues, gold and silverware and other works of art, many of which are placed casually on the walls.

"Is that the cane used by Prophet Alando?"

Michelle noticed at a glance the glass cabinet closest to the door. There was a rough cane placed horizontally inside. It was just a piece of wood with a few circles of cloth wrapped around it, but it made Michelle jump as if she were seeing a relative.

past.

"Yes, that cane was an item that my father obtained from a collapsed temple when he was an adventurer. After expert identification, it is indeed the cane of Prophet Alando."

This man was active after the era of the god-killing demon king Balam, and he was a devout believer in Ilmat, the god of suffering.

In that era when faith collapsed due to the God-killing Demon King, Alando walked through countless countries with this cane. He used divine magic to cure diseases and dispel the haze of plague, and countless people benefited from it.

It was precisely because of his actions that many people rekindled their worship of gods, so many people later called him Prophet Alando.

He is a very famous and important figure in theology. No wonder Michelle is so excited.

"Over there is the Sword of Justice. Tyr once gave the simple sword to the paladin. It exhausted its power after fighting evil, so it was re-enshrined in the temple, but it was completely forgotten. Later, my father removed it from

It was dug out of the ruins of the temple."

"Mr. Perrenli, the ribbon you see is the ribbon of a general from an empire that existed two hundred years ago. Everyone says that it has magical power that makes the wearer invincible, but in fact that is just a pure rumor."

"Miss Michelle, you read that right. The flute placed in the glass cabinet is the instrument of Semior. This bard who composed countless great poems finally spent his later years in our Brevo."

While walking forward, Victor introduced the surrounding collections to the two of them.

In the royal family's treasury, you will not see any gold coins or gems that can be directly exchanged for money.

——Because that kind of worthless thing is not worth putting in the treasure house.

There are a large number of priceless works of art and cultural relics stored here, which cannot even be described as priceless. They are completely national treasures that are absolutely impossible to sell.

"I plan to open a treasure exhibition after the reconstruction is completed. However, I cannot give these cultural relics to you. Miss Michelle, please forgive me."

Seeing the light in Michelle's eyes becoming more and more enthusiastic, Victor quickly got vaccinated.

This is not a matter of money. The historical significance and artistic value carried by cultural relics and artworks cannot be measured simply by gold coins.

Normally, Michelle always maintains a calm smile, which makes people feel like spring breeze. This is the first time that Pei Renli saw her follow the children in the toy store, and her eyes lit up.

In fact, it is not surprising, Lathander is also a god who is very dedicated to art.

His teachings have supported a large number of frustrated artists, and he regularly holds painting and poetry competitions and other projects to encourage artistic creation.

Because Lathander believes that art is a symbol of the vitality of the people. Only when the people are prosperous can great works of art be produced, just like the importance of dawn to all things in the world.

However, Pei Renli is not very interested in these. Speaking of which, there are many paintings hanging in the Demon King's City that are very valuable. If he didn't sell them casually, which might expose himself, Pei Renli would definitely sell all these things.

Exchange money.

For him, what can be exchanged for money is art, and what cannot be exchanged for money is just graffiti.

——Burning the harp and boiling the crane belongs to yes.

Victor brought them to the treasure house not to see these works of art and cultural relics, but just to walk through them.

Not long after, he led the two of them around a corner, and what appeared in front of them this time was not a work of art, but a piece of magic item shining with magic aura.

From weapons such as swords, guns, swords and halberds, to all kinds of armor, staffs inserted randomly into cylinders like chopsticks in restaurants, there are also a lot of robes, cloaks and other messy things.

And almost all of these things have strong magical aura, which is far stronger than the Swift Light Staff in Pei Renli's hand.

"I personally don't understand the value of these magic items, so I'll just ask you two to choose them yourself."

Victor deals with books more. He only knows that magic items are expensive, and many high-level magic items are priceless, but it would be difficult for him to say which one is better.

The magic items here are not at the epic level, nor are they even at the legendary level, but they are all perfect level high-level magic items.

Victor promised to let each of them choose one piece to take away. The lowest value was equivalent to giving away a luxurious manor with a maid and a butler.

Michelle was also interested in magic items. She had already rushed over to check them carefully. Pei Renli took a step slower while holding the staff.

He deliberately paused in front of Victor, who was waiting at the door, and asked in a low voice:

"His Royal Highness Prince Victor, may I ask a question?"

"Of course, please ask."

"Did His Majesty the King's letter to you mention the reconstruction work?"

Victor's pupils shrank and he was greatly shocked.

The letter that Brevo 13th gave him was of course not just the page that was shown to others. In fact, it not only explained the whole story, but also how Victor should deal with the aftermath and what might happen.

The situation and other various predictions were written out in detail, and all Victor had to do was follow the 'strategy' prepared by Brevo XIII.

But this matter cannot be announced, because announcing it would be equivalent to confirming that the whole matter was actually the work of Brevo 13.

Victor opened his mouth and racked his brains to explain, but when Perrenli saw his reaction, he just nodded, and then happily went to pick out the magic items.
Chapter completed!
