After learning that William had bought the land around the castle, Lena happily rode her horse to William's side and patted his head condescendingly. "Well done, William. Mom personally cooked some of your favorite dishes for you at noon as a reward. Take advantage of the time to look at the information of those lands so that you don't know the specific situation when you buy the land. Now you can get out of here and don't hinder me from practicing my equestrian skills."
William looked speechlessly at his mother who rode back to the middle of the field. Ah, forget it. His mother had always been like this. She always treated him like a child who could come at her beck and call and get out of her way.
Especially when Lena was doing something she liked, she often told William to get out of here. Ah, I hope Lena won't treat her grandchildren like this in the future.
Shaking his head, William decided not to tell his mother that he would soon be able to buy Chelsea and let her be happy for a few days. With nothing to do, William drove the golf cart back to the castle and checked the land information sent by Anthony.
After eating a big meal cooked by Lena herself at noon, he met the lawyer, Anthony, signed a check and a contract for the land sale, took a nap, and continued his life as a miner.
In this way, William inspected the newly bought land during the day and worked as a miner at night. After a few days, he finally dug a 2.5-meter-high, 3-meter-wide, 20-meter-long passage. He reinforced the ground and ceiling of the treasure room with magic. After feeling that there was no problem, he put on the prepared night suit and wrapped himself tightly.
After opening the portal, his mental strength passed through the portal to perceive the situation in the treasure room of Trinity Church in New York. After finding no abnormalities, William walked out of the portal to the treasure room of Trinity Church.
He first walked to the two exits and perceived the warning magic he had set up before. The two warning magic were all normal. Relieved, William cast five or six light balls in the air. The treasures in the treasure room were immediately illuminated by the light balls.
Seeing the treasure again, William couldn't help but feel excited. Gold and silver treasures and money gave people a different feeling. The former was wealth, while the latter was paper compared to gold and silver. There was no way to compare the two.
Looking at the tens of thousands of square meters worth of treasures, William had a headache. How long would it take for him to move everything here? Moreover, William didn't dare to touch some of the difficult to preserve antiques such as sheepskin books. He was afraid that they would immediately shatter if he touched them.
After thinking for a long time, William still couldn't come up with a suitable solution. If he wanted to move it in good condition, he would definitely need professional equipment. However, at this time, he didn't dare to buy these antique equipment at all. He wouldn't feel at ease even if he bought it on the Dark Web, let alone give it to a private buyer. He didn't want to have any loopholes about the treasure.
If there was no other way, he would delay the large antiques, books, and oil paintings that were difficult to preserve. For the time being, he would not touch them. He would only transport the gold nuggets, gold coins, and jewelry, which were easy to obtain, back to the castle first.
After thinking it through, William excitedly went to the area where the gold nuggets were stored.
His hands were trembling as he stroked the piles of gold nuggets. There were a total of eight piles of gold nuggets, each one more than one meter high and one and a half meters wide. They were stacked neatly on the rocks like a pyramid.
One cubic meter of gold weighed up to 19.32 tons. William stroked a gold nugget and put it into the storage space one by one. He silently counted the number of gold nuggets in the pile. He only finished the pile when he counted to 1600.
The weight of each gold nugget was clearly written. Each nugget was marked with 400 ounces. 400 ounces was 12.5 kilograms.
One pile of 1600 nuggets was 20 tons of gold. He calculated in his heart. God, eight piles meant 160 tons of gold. This was 20 tons more than what was recorded in Henry's diary.
Could it be that the Knights Templar who came to America hundreds of years ago found a gold mine? Otherwise, how could there be an extra 20 tons of gold? Thinking about it, there didn't seem to be any gold mines in the eastern part of the United States. Weren't all the gold mines in the west?
Or did they snatch it from the natives? Well, William understood. The natives of America had a lot of gold in their hands in the early days. Moreover, they only treated gold as an ordinary decoration. They didn't treat gold as currency at all. Some books even recorded that someone exchanged a steel knife for gold of the same size. The density of steel was 7.8, so the density of gold of the same size was about 2.47 times that of steel.
The extra 20 tons made William overjoyed. He thought to himself, "Who cares, all this gold is mine now. It's all mine."
According to the current gold price, 160 tons of gold was about 4.8 billion dollars. It was more than the money he had in the bank. This was a real family heirloom. It was more valuable than anything else.
After spending a few hours going back and forth eight to nine times, William finally spread out all the 12800 pieces of gold in the treasure room. The density of gold was really high. 12800 pieces of gold looked like a lot, but when it was spread out in the treasure room, it would only form a gold pile that was about 16 meters long, 2 meters wide, and 0.25 meters high.
He didn't dare to pile the gold into a gold pile like the one in the treasure room under Trinity Church. He was afraid that the floor of the treasure room under his castle would be pressed down by the gold. After resting for a while, William returned to New York. He touched the dozens of jewel chests piled up together and carried them back to his castle.
It took him half an hour to transport all 14 chests back to the castle. The 14 chests were neatly placed on the remaining 4 meters of empty space next to the gold pile. When he opened one of the chests, he was immediately dazzled by the brilliance of the jewels. He covered his heart and used his mental strength to open all the chests.
After opening all the chests, William's heart beat even faster. He casually picked out a thumbnail-sized ruby from one of the chests. This time, he didn't dare to use his mental strength to close the chests. He was afraid that his excitement would affect the stability of his mental strength.
He closed all the chests with his hands and quickly walked out of the treasure room. Standing in the escape tunnel, William took a few deep breaths. After a few minutes, he slowly calmed down his excitement.
It wasn't that he was useless. It was just that there were too many jewels in the 14 chests. It was too dazzling. If a woman came in, William was sure that she would faint from happiness.
William wasn't going to tell his mother about all the jewels and gold for the time being. Firstly, it wouldn't make much sense to tell her. Secondly, it really wouldn't be easy to explain how he got them.
It was still reasonable to send some jewels to his mother from time to time to make jewelry. He would send one today and a few tomorrow. After a few days, his mother's mentality would be normal again. No matter how good the things were, she wouldn't care so much once she had too many of them.
He used magic to repair the hole between the treasure room and the escape tunnel. He also used the newly repaired wall to cover it up. When he couldn't find any difference with his mental strength, he was finally relieved.
He stood outside the treasure room and looked at the escape tunnel for a moment. He was still worried and walked along the escape tunnel for more than half an hour. When he was about 100 meters away from the exit, he used earth magic to seal the tunnel.
He planned to wait until he had time to check the exit before deciding whether to use it again. After going back to the basement and changing his clothes, William took the ruby and happily closed the basement and went back to the first floor of the castle.
