The Lord of Another World: All Wasted at the Beginning, and He Made His Fortune by Taking in the Fem
Chapter 7 The Marquis's Secret Treasure
"Military strategies, travel notes of other countries, the general history of the continent...my father really likes to study."
After settling the wolf alien slave that he had bought at a high price into the room he had lived in before, Aarons immediately went into the Marquis' study again.
Last time he found the Marquis’s private money here, and this time he saw the Marquis’s background.
A powerful man with extraordinary martial arts and good strategic planning, after crushing the ambitions of his neighboring country, bravely gave up his military power and turned to manage his own territory successfully.
Such an almost perfect man had a first child who was a talentless fool.
"God is still fair."
Although the second son inherited the Marquis's talent and wisdom, before the future genius could step onto the stage, the Marquis's family was wiped out in a disaster.
But was it just an unfortunate accident, or an evil plot designed by someone?
Aarons no longer had the energy to seek the truth, so he could only put the matter aside for the time being and concentrate on finding his own way out.
"I have to find time to read all the books my cheap dad left behind."
In the unlucky guy's memory, the Marquis often bought some strange things from outside and brought them back home over the years.
Because there is no special treasure house in the mansion, these things are basically kept in the study.
However, Aarons searched the room for a long time, even taking all the books off the bookshelf, but he didn't see any hidden mechanism.
"Just pick out a few useless books and sell them."
After sitting down on the big chair reserved for the Marquis with some annoyance, Aarons simply crossed his legs on the desk.
Although the Marquis's cultural heritage is indeed very good, these things are completely useless now.
It would probably cost a lot of money to save the wolf woman, but Aarons just didn't know where to get the money.
"There's not even a little treasure in such a big house! This Marquis is really useless!"
After kicking the table in anger, Aarons calmed down a little.
Anyway, no one gave me a cheat when I traveled through time, so it’s not surprising that I can’t find treasures and money now.
"Huh? What is this?"
When Aarons began to feel a little bored and was about to leave the study to relax, he suddenly discovered that there seemed to be some mechanism hidden under the desk.
After squatting down and tapping the floor gently, he heard a different echo.
——There should be a hidden mezzanine here, but it was not discovered at the first time because it was always hidden in the shadows.
"Hehe, there really is a treasure hidden there."
The Marquisate was an important border trade area, so the Marquis must have come into contact with a lot of things from foreign countries. After carefully lifting the trapdoor on the ground, Aarons found a simple wooden box in the mezzanine.
However, this long rectangular box doesn't look like it can hide anything, and it doesn't feel heavy when held in the hand.
Fortunately, the Marquis had not locked the box, so Aarons simply opened it and dumped the contents onto the table.
"Magic scroll? Why is it so tattered?"
A scroll that seemed to be made of the skin of some magical beast fell out of the box as Aarons moved.
A piece of plain letter paper also floated out from inside, with a lot of small words densely written on it.
"letter?"
Since he didn't know anything about magic, Aarons picked up the letter first. Although he was a time traveler without any cheats, he could understand the words in this world as soon as he arrived.
—To my dearest son, Aarons Morty.
"Fuck, isn't the unlucky guy your son? What a bullshit noble."
Just by seeing the beginning, Aarons was so angry that he almost tore the letter into pieces.
Aarons Moti is the name of the Marquis's youngest son, and the person who wrote this letter must be the Marquis Moti himself.
——I know you will find this thing one day, so I wrote some words for you in advance and put them here.
It seems that Marquis Moti dotes on his genius little son very much and even hides such a thing specifically for him.
Unfortunately, the barrier set up in the study did not exclude the eldest son, so whatever the Marquis left behind now belonged to Aarons.
- I don't know if I will still be alive when you see this letter, but I guess that by then you may have encountered some major problems that affect your life, otherwise you would not have discovered this thing.
The Marquis's prediction was correct. After all, this family is about to be destroyed.
——This position of border marquis must be a heavy burden for you, right?
——I have fought for the empire many times and finally got this dangerous but rich land. But you should no longer need to fight on the battlefield, so what is the problem?
——Unfortunately, you may have to face this dilemma alone at that time.
The Marquis may have predicted what might happen in the future, so he left a chance for his heir to turn the tables.
Unfortunately, before that time came, he returned to dust along with his heirs.
——The scroll contains a regeneration magic that was passed down from the Demon War period. Although the magic can only be used on one person, as long as the person is still alive, any injury can be completely healed.
——I sincerely hope that you won't need to use this magic for yourself then. And if you just need funds for a comeback, then sell it to other nobles.
——My dear child, you will definitely go further than me and become a pillar of the empire.
If the letter had not mentioned his incompetent eldest son at all, Aarons might really have thought that Marquis Moti was a gentle and kind father.
"You really deserve it."
After checking the letter carefully several times and finding no hidden information, Aarons simply crumpled up the paper and threw it away.
The eccentric Marquis had never to part with his beloved youngest son again—it was estimated that the remaining ashes of both of them were mixed together.
"Regeneration magic... Humph, you wanted to save your precious son's life, but I'm going to waste it on someone who doesn't matter!"
This unreasonable anger in his heart might be Aarons' last resistance to this unfair fate.
And now Aarons has decided to seek some justice for the unfortunate guy whose life has ended.
"There's someone at home who needs this."
Grabbing the ancient magic scroll, a smile finally appeared on Aarons' indignant face.
"My great Lord Marquis, in my eyes, your talented youngest son is worth less than a slave of a foreign race."
