Chapter 1548: Host, Your Shamelessness Has Indeed Exceeded My Expectations
Mag only found treasures that filled the treasure vault to the brim. He didn’t discover the secret dungeon.
“Woah. There are so many precious stones and gold here!!!” Amy threw herself onto a stack of gold with glowing eyes. She turned her head back to ask Mag, “Father, are we going to take these all away?”
Mag sized up the treasure vault that was hundreds of square meters huge. The treasures casually stacked up showed off the wealth that was accumulated by the second-largest orc tribe for the past thousands of years.
“Speaking of it, these treasures belonged to Connie’s family, after all, so it’s too much if we took all of them.” Mag frowned in a dilemma. After pondering for a moment, he said, “Let’s take as many of them as we can. They belong to the bad guys now, so we don’t have to feel guilty. If the operation fails, we can still give this money to Connie for her to start her resistance. Oh yes, take the valuable ones. Amy, don’t take the copper coins. They’re the least valuable.”
Everyone flicked a glance at Mag to make sure that he was sure before taking out all their spatial equipment, and began to harvest the treasure vault.
It was after all an accumulation of a big tribe over thousands of years, and they only had limited spatial equipment with them, so the treasure vault didn’t seem to be short of too many treasures after they were done.
“So… Boss, are we here to take the money?” Yabemiya asked with a weird expression.
“How could that be? I just think that the treasure vault is a well-guarded and very safe location, so it would be great to keep our prisoners here.” Mag cleared his throat. “Of course, we have traveled with our own expenses, so it’s only right that we take some payment for it.”
“Attention. The last 10th-tier powerhouse in the palace has left, heading toward the south of the city!” Right then, the bat on Mag’s shoulder spoke in Camilla’s voice.
Everyone’s eyes lit up. This meant there were no 10th-tier powerhouses in the palace right now. They could start to take over the palace now.
“Let’s go. We can start our operation now.” Mag pocketed a gem with excellent color before walking to the treasure vault’s door.
“Wait for me, Father…” Amy called out, and skipped after him. Glowing copper coins scattered all over the floor accompanied by clanging sounds.
“Little Amy, the copper coins were worth the least.” Mag looked at Amy with resignation.
“But, it could be exchanged for one pancake.” Amy held one copper coin, and smilingly looked up at Mag. “It’s also very precious.”
Mag looked at Amy, and suddenly seemed to have seen the little one who had skipped to buy the pancake with two copper coins when he had just arrived in this world.
At that time, one copper coin was indeed very precious.
“Let’s go. Father will help you carry this.” Mag placed a bunch of copper coins from Amy’s pocket into his pocket. The little one dropped one every two paces, and it created quite a stir.
“02, 02! Please respond if you hear me, please respond if you hear me!” Mag said into the walkie-talkie.
There was only pitch silence in the radio channel. Connie didn’t reply even after he waited for quite a while.
Mag furrowed his brows before he repeated, “02, 02! Please respond if you hear me! Please respond if you hear me!”
The channel was still silent.
“Why isn’t Big Sister Connie answering?” Amy whispered.
Yabemiya worriedly asked, “Could something have happened to her? However, we didn’t hear her asking for help earlier?”
The unplanned silence made everyone begin to feel uneasy.
“Connie, if you were kidnapped, blin— squeak once,” Mag said in a slightly louder voice. There were no 10th-tier powerhouses in the palace now, so it was a good chance for them to search the palace thoroughly.
However, it was right at this time that Connie suddenly disappeared, and halted the original plan.
“Connie, the palace has entered into a defensive mode without the top combat forces. Tell me your current location now. We will conduct a thorough search after we rendezvous!” Mag repeated again.
There was still no response from Connie.
“What’s happening now?” Mag furrowed his brows tightly. He also couldn’t grasp the current situation.
Although Connie wasn’t very dependable most of the time, she was still the Hairless Monk’s disciple. She wouldn’t have died without making a sound.
Moreover, today’s operation concerned her big brother’s life. How would she, who was the most enthusiastic, suddenly lose contact?
Connie was after all the person who was the most familiar with the palace among them. According to the plan, once the palace no longer had a 10th-tier powerhouse, they would take this chance to conduct a thorough search.
“What will we do now? Should we look for Connie or Ferdinand?” Elizabeth asked Mag.
“Let’s find Connie first. We only have limited time, so let’s split up for action. Retreat to the palace maids’ dormitory if you encounter any danger. Don’t stay and fight,” Mag immediately replied without much thought.
“Alright.” Elizabeth nodded, and led Babla and Yabemiya out of the treasure vault. They chose the route on the left.
Meanwhile, Mag led Gina and Amy out of the door, and took the passageway on the right.
“Scanning of the treasure vault is complete. There are 561 cubic meters of all kinds of treasure. Are we taking all of them?” The door of the treasure vault was closing slowly behind them as the system’s voice appeared in Mag’s mind.
“Taking all… seems to be a little too much… Let’s just round it down,” Mag muttered. “How about… we just take 500 cubic meters of them?”
The system was silent for a while before replying, “Host, your shamelessness has indeed exceeded my expectations.”
“Even though I’ve not reached middle-age yet, I already felt a mid-life crisis. Opportunities that allow me to save money like this are rare,” Mag calmly replied.
“Tsk.” The system made a disdainful sound. However, it still quickly made an announcement. “Collection of 500 cubic square meters of treasures complete. Deduction of 500 copper coins for takeaway charges! 500 copper coins of management fee/day!”
Mag the price slasher made his move again. He slashed the fees from a high-class space management to the fees of a warehouse.
500 square meters of treasures!
So happy.
Mag couldn’t even imagine how large that amount of money was.
“Alert! The existence of the black fog was detected within five kilometers!
“Emergency mission: could the host please locate the source of the black fog within 24 hours and eradicate it and the black fog!
“Mission reward: you will receive a face-altering mask and the ability to change your appearance within a short time.
“Punishment for failing the mission: your real identity will be known to the world!”
The system’s voice suddenly appeared at this time.
“Black fog!” Mag halted with astonishment on his face. The black fog existed in the Falk Tribe too? Perhaps someone here made a deal with the devil too?
