Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

As the young knights thought the lion was a demon, the lion himself grew angered, roaring and showing them his sharp, golden teeth.

“DEMON?! WHO ARE YOU CALLING A DEMON?! I AM THE LUMINOUS KINGDOM’S TREASURY GUARDIAN! LEONIDAS!”

With his wrath reaching his limits, he ended up screaming incredibly loudly and making everyone’s ears ring painfully. The Queen glared at him with hatred.

“Leonidas! Do you have to scream so loudly? Calm down or I’ll make you calm down!”

“E-Eek! I’m sorry your majesty! I-I didn’t meant to- But they called me a demon!”

“I know, they were just confused. There happened to be another talking door in the magician tower, Merlinus’ wicked creation. It was vanquished, whatsoever.”

“I-I see… Well, that’s a relief… I am not that sure what happened yesterday but there was sure a lot of tremors and explosions… I really thought everything was coming down!”

“Me too, I’m glad things were mostly stable… We managed to divert most of the damage to the western side of the city, although the rest, due to shockwaves and explosions, was still greatly ruined.”

“That’s a pity… But why have you come here, your majesty?”

“Well…” The Queen glanced at the magic knights for a moment and smiled. “I suppose that I should explain who this is first right? He’s Leonidas. He’s an Ancient Magic Door Golem created by the King’s ancestors to protect this Kingdom’s treasury, which is said to be the biggest in the entire continent. The ancestors of my husband spared no resources, time, or money, using the strongest magicians in the world to create him and this entire formation.”

“Woow…” Patricia was amazed. “You’re cool, Leonidas!”

“Hmph! But of course,” Leonidas said with pride. “I am this Kingdom’s Treasury Eternal Guardian! Nobody has ever robbed the Treasury since my creation… And yet, I cannot help but wonder, why has her majesty bought you all here?”

“They’ve done a great deal of help, so I wanted to reward them, letting them choose a weapon, piece of armor, or accessory from the treasury.”

“W-What? But your majesty, such items are of great value! To be given to these children is… such a waste!”

“I don’t like you anymore!” Patricia said angrily. “We aren’t children! I am seventeen!”

“That’s a child you stupid girl!” Leonidas roared angrily.

“No! we’re considered young adults!” Patricia said.

“T-That’s not right you’re a kid to me!” Leonidas responded angrily.

“Y-You…!”

“Listen here…!” Find adventures on My Virtual Library Empire

The two started glaring at each other angrily and more angrily over time, making the Queen and Patricia’s friends facepalm, while the Vampires glared at Patricia with the intent to kill her at this point due to all her lack of manners.

“Enough!” Said the Queen. “Patricia don’t fight with Leonidas, and Leonidas don’t fight with my guests. You will do as I say because I am the Queen, right?”

“Hmph… Yes but where’s the King at? He’s the one that usually requests stuff from the treasury, not you, your majesty- Not like I’m saying I’ll refuse or something! Just curious…” Leonidas said.

“He’s… dead.” The Queen muttered.

“W-Wha…?! The King died? D-Did it happen in… the battle yesterday?!” Leonidas asked.

“Yes…”

“N-No…”

Leonidas suddenly changed his attitude and expression, from the cheeky and loud lion, he suddenly became depressed, his face looking to be in despair.

“That child… I’ve known him since he was but a toddler… Isn’t he way too young still?!”

“Yes, well, there’s still hope… Let me explain a bit.”

The Queen told Leonidas what had happened, enlightening his mind with all of this information, and allowing him to understand everything to an extent.

“The underworld…!” Leonidas muttered. “Such matters… I’m afraid are beyond my power… I am but a humble guardian, and it frustrates me that I cannot help more.”

“By doing your job you’re already helping, Leonidas,” the Queen said. “So please, let me reward these young promising knights. They defeated a powerful Demonic Wizard on their own. One that had even taken a giant draconic form.”

“Oho… I suppose they’re not so bad then!” Leonidas smiled. “Fine, very well. You may come in, your majesty will come as well, right?”

“Yes, I must take some funds for future negotiations with other countries, we’re trying to regain resources, food, clothes, and building materials to rebuild the entire Kingdom,” said the Queen. “The Treasury might take a big hit, but we’ll make sure to replenish once we recover fully, Leonidas.”

“Hmmm, I accept your terms, you may take as much as you need,” Leonidas nodded. “But in one condition.”

“Yes?” the Queen asked, confused.

“Please, make sure to revive his majesty…” Leonidas sighed.

“…Of course, you didn’t even need to ask me that. I will do everything I can do see that through,” the Queen nodded. “Now, please open the door, Leonidas, we are ready.”

“Very well!” Leonidas opened his gates. “Welcome to the Luminous Kingdom’s Treasury! The largest Treasury of the Continent!”

Creaaak…!

The golden doors opened, revealing a giant hall of its own, so enormous and wide it extended across the entirety of the underground within the Kingdom itself!

Endless gold coins, treasures, and much everywhere! It never ended, there seemed to be no walls at all due to how big it was.

Even more, the gold was so much and so was the Mana, that it created its own bizarre ecosystem of pure gold and treasures.

Coins with butterfly-like wings flew around, large golden frogs leaped catching them and eating them, giant gold dragons walked around and then rested over piles of gold, treasure jewel bats rested on the ceilings, and golden golems and jewel golems wrestled.

There was more giant jewel trees with golden apple fruits, golden grass and flowers with incrusted jewels on them, rivers of liquid gold, clouds made of floating treasures and gold dust.

It was a never-ending wonderland of treasures!

“T-There are monsters down here?!” Asked Heshmerie.

“W-what in the world?!” Joustin gasped.

“Welcome to the Treasury, I was just as shocked as you when I entered,” laughed the Queen. “Leonidas will explain you more as we go.”

“Yes, yes,” Leonidas closed the doors, keeping the Vampires behind. “You guys aren’t allowed though, so stay behind!”

“Tch…”

The Vampires clicked their tongues, obeying unwillingly.
