Chapter 25 The Treasure of Hassey

"Congratulations! You triggered the top treasure hunting quest!"

Sherman returned to his room as usual.

"Treasure hunting quest: The treasure of the Hassey clan."

The Hassey clan used to be one of the most powerful clans in the kingdom, but it was slaughtered overnight, leaving only Hurd Hassey to inherit a huge fortune.

Before Hurd Hassey's death, he had hidden a huge amount of wealth in his collection, including gold, silver jewelry and rare antiques. The most valuable things were the map that led people to the city under the sea.

The mission was to find the city under the sea and make friends with the water clan.

The reward was three question marks.

Sherman took a deep breath when he saw the end.

This was really a difficult task.

He didn't expect that the manor he bought casually could trigger such a task.

Sherman was interested in the map of the city under the sea.

The value behind it was incredible.

It was a city under the sea that the Holy Kingdom had been trying hard to find for many years.

Sherman kept this in mind and planned to find the treasure by himself sometime later.

There was no hurry to look for the city under the sea.

When Sherman was thinking about this, he heard someone knocking at the door, followed by Dolores's pleasant voice.

"Master, do you need tea and fruits?"

"Come in."

Sherman replied, and Dolores brought hot tea and fruits.

"Send one to Sinard too."

"Yes, the dinner is ready for the barbecue."

Sherman nodded slightly. As she blinked her eyes, Dolores picked up a grape and handed it to him.

It was not until dinner time that butler, in a formal suit, knocked on the door and said, "Mr. Marquis, dinner is ready."

Sinard didn't come down.

The butler leaned over and whispered in Sherman's ear, "Her highness Saintess said she needed to rest and wouldn't have dinner."

Sherman nodded slightly and the butler stepped aside.

The knights of the court wolfed down.

The chef here was quite good at cooking, and the ingredients were also first-class.

If it weren't for Sherman, they wouldn't have had the chance to eat such food.

After dinner, Sherman went to the study.

It was a study, not an ordinary room.

It was three floors high, filled with all kinds of books, including the collection of the Hassey clan and the collection that Sherman later bought.

For example, there was a manual on biology and a fascicule about water clans.

In the evening, Sherman didn't call for help. Instead, he took out the water fascicule and kept it for later use.

As for the task...

Sherman looked around the huge collection.

Where would it be hidden?

"Do you have any hint about the treasure of Hassey?"

"Please find a history book with a black cover. The map 500 years ago has Hurd Hassey's instructions in his own handwriting."

The system answered seriously.

A history book with black skin?

Sherman was in a dilemma.

In the study, there were no more than one thousand or five hundred books with a black cover, and he hadn't read many of them.

He bought these books just to put on a show. Many of them were beyond Sherman's comprehension.

Someone knocked on the door.

"Come in, please."

Sinard came in and said, "Sherman."

"What's wrong?"

"I'm hungry." Sinard said naturally, "I suddenly remember that I didn't eat anything except breakfast today."

Sherman sighed and rang the bell.

Sinard began to look at Sherman's large collection curiously.

Many books here lit up her eyes, including books about magic, legends, memories, and all kinds of conversation books.

Precious wealth.

The butler heard and replied, "Master."

"Find some food for the saintess."

After telling the butler, Sherman took a look at Sinard and said, "If you are interested, you can read it."

With the permission of Sinard, she took out a book of the magic theory that she had seen several times and was fascinated by it.

She was already very interested in magic, and she was a rare dual mage, but the sect did not allow her to study any magic other than light magic.

And Sinard rarely had the chance to meet the magic of light attack.

In the eyes of those priests in the sect, Sinard should learn how to be a lady first.

However, their transformation was quite a failure. On the contrary, Sinard made them feel headaches when they saw her.

As soon as she found the magic book about light magic attacks, Sinard went crazy and didn't even hear Sherman calling her several times.

"Sinard, you can have dinner now."

Raising his voice, Sinard came to herself in a daze. "Eat... Oh, eat!"

Sherman sighed again.

He might have seen the wrong person.

She did not look spoiled at all.

She was much more charming than she was when she was in love brain.

The supper was light this time, and Sinard was still thinking about the book during the meal.

"Can I borrow that magic book?"

"Sure."

There was nothing that she couldn't do.

'But isn't Sherman worry about a thief stealing something?'

When she asked this question, she heard Sherman laughing.

"The night keeper here is not crap."

Besides, he wouldn't put anything of real value in the villa.

Even if someone really stole it, it was just a worthless copy.

Sinard felt relieved.

As long as she could still see that book.

After lunch, Sinard couldn't wait to go back to the study.

Sherman, who had seen Sinard run into the study regardless of her image, only had one sentence in his mind.

Women were unpredictable.

"You can see if there are any more books you want to read."

"Is that okay?"

"Okay. I will pass by here when I come back. By that time, I can stay here for two more days."

Coincidentally, Sherman also wanted to look for the specific book pointed out by the system. He would definitely stop here for two days when he came back.

"Then I'll read these two books first."

Sinard was holding magic books, not just books about light.

And fire.

Sherman paused.

'Isn't Sinard just light?'

She didn't mean to hide it. Noticing that Sherman was staring at her, she asked, "Are you surprised?"

"Yes, I'm a little surprised. I didn't expect you..."

It was a rare dual mage.

With a sly smile, Sinard said, "There are so many things you don't know."

Sherman smiled, "I think so."

Maybe there were many things he didn't know about Sinard.

But he didn't want to figure it out yet.

"Can you keep what you saw today a secret for me?"

Sinard asked, blinking her eyes.

She pretended to be cute and shameless.

Sherman thought to himself and said calmly, "I didn't see anything tonight. I just borrowed you two books."

"Thank you so much."

Sinard hummed a melodious tune and walked briskly.

Very melodious.
