Chapter 91: Getting Rich
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
After sneaking into the castle, Ji Chen cautiously opened the Omniscience map and confirmed that there were no soldiers nearby.
Only then did he begin to observe his surroundings.
The scale of this castle was very large. Rather than calling it a castle, it was more like a small Urban area.
There were tall towers and stone buildings, connected by arched bridges, crisscrossed stone paths, and towering spires. There were several gardens alone.
Trees were planted all over the place, flowers and grass were everywhere, and pavilions were embellished in the middle. This added a little vitality to the slightly depressing gray wall tiles of the building.
It seemed that the so-called Krieg was also a person who knew how to enjoy life.
Ji Chen looked at the castle with envy.
This was the residence that a lord should have.
“My Lord, what should we do now?”
At this moment, Alice leaned over and whispered in his ear.
The air that blew out when she spoke gently blew against his ears, making him feel a little warm.
He slightly turned his eyes and saw Alice’s beautiful face in front of him. Her red lips were slightly open as if he could touch it with a slight turn of her head.
“She’s so cute. I want to…”
Phew ~
Ji Chen took a few deep breaths and suppressed this inappropriate thought.
He pondered for a moment and said, “We will look for rooms that might contain rare resources and treasures and try to hide our movements and not attract the attention of the soldiers.”
“But if we were to alert the enemy, we can use the song to control them and make them kill each other to buy us time.”
In his plan, the perfect situation was to find the room where the treasures and resources were stored without alerting any soldiers.
Then, he would quietly leave and not clash with any enemy here.
As the ruler of a mystic realm, the person named Krieg was definitely not an ordinary person to be able to make so many soldiers and residents so fanatical and obedient.
It was very likely that she was also a hero.
Moreover, it was at least stronger than the White Normal Rank he had encountered before.
He still had to be a little cautious.
Ji Chen waved his hand, and the army spread out a little and began to search the area.
He also paid close attention to the Omniscience map and issued warnings at any time.
However, the Bauhinia Alliance was still quite powerful. It seemed that they had determined that there would be a large number of rare resources and treasures hidden in this castle. They were determined to endure the casualties and attack crazily.
It seemed that they had also moved a lot of siege weapons from their warships and attacked the firm castle gate.
Seeing the situation unfold, the majority of Krieg and Forbidden Army soldiers had gathered near the main gate, leaving other areas more relaxed in terms of defense.
This provided them with considerable convenience for their covert search.
Ji Chen couldn’t help but admire, “Good work!”
While the intense battle continued ahead, they quietly made a new discovery.
On the Omniscience map, most areas showed only a few scattered red dots, but in a passage leading underground, there were around thirty to forty red dots congregated together.
It seemed as though they were guarding something.
Seeing this scene, Ji Chen’s spirits immediately lifted.
There had to be something fishy going on, right?
There’s no smoke without fire!
He led his troops into a room.
From the outside, it appeared to be an ordinary storage room. However, on the map, vague pixelated dots indicated a downward passage behind one of the walls.
Those red dots were inside the passage.
Ji Chen gathered his troops, closed the door, and began searching the area.
There had to be some mechanism here that could open the wall.
Soon enough, he discovered a movable cabinet that could be shifted sideways.
Waving his hand, he instructed two Naga warriors to pull it.
With a resounding rumble, the wall opened up on both sides.
“Intruders!”
When the guards inside saw Ji Chen and the others, they immediately reacted and were about to sound the alarm.
He was instantly controlled by Alice’s singing and obediently shut his mouth.
The tightly shut door and enclosed space displayed the Song of Temptation’s ability very well, and it almost isolated the singing from the outside world.
They did not alarm the soldiers outside.
Ji Chen looked at the Forbidden Army soldiers with a strange glint in their eyes.
“Kill them.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the Naga warriors rushed forward and slashed them with their ferocious bone blades.
Although these Forbidden Army guards were powerful, they could not resist Alice’s singing. They allowed the Naga warriors to break their armor and kill them.
The Forbidden Army soldiers in the passage were quickly killed.
“Ding – You have obtained 8300 experience points…”
Ji Chen didn’t care about the corpses on the ground.
With a wave of his hand, he left the shallow sea murlocs in the room to be on guard and led the other troops into the depths of the passage.
There was a sturdy iron door in the depths of the passage.
But this was not a problem for him.
“Sea Pixies, destroy this door for me.”
After a few water arrows, the sturdy iron door collapsed under the explosion of the spell.
A few pieces of dust fell from the top of the passage, but fortunately, there were no signs of collapse.
Only then did Ji Chen walk in with relief.
When he saw the thing in front of him, he was overjoyed.
A few thousand square meters of underground space were filled with all kinds of resources.
With a casual glance, he could see a large number of crystals in wooden boxes.
The number of crystals stored here was even more than that of the crystal warehouse outside!
This was truly a pleasant surprise!
Although Ji Chen thought he had enough crystals before, seeing so many crystals in front of him now made his heart race uncontrollably.
Since they were free, why not take them?
With a wave of his hand, piles of crystals vanished instantly.
“Ding- You have obtained 23,000 units of crystals.”
My goodness, it’s nearly twice the amount he had before.
This was such a lucrative deal!
After collecting this batch, he now possessed a total of 35>000 units of crystals, instantly becoming wealthy.
This trip was indeed worth it!
Hey, Krieg, your crystals will be under my care now.
After all, they would just gather dust here, so why not put them to good use with me?
After collecting the largest quantity of crystals, the underground space was instantly emptied by half, leaving only a few remaining items.
Ji Chen’s attention shifted to two round glass spheres.
Recruitment Camp Cores!
In a certain sense, these were also a kind of rare resource.
With Recruitment Camp Cores, one could establish recruitment camps and recruit units.
And units represented strength, the most crucial element in this world.
Seeing that these two Recruitment Camp Cores could be placed alongside the crystals, they probably weren’t cores for some mediocre units, right?
With a mix of anticipation and curiosity, he picked up one of them and examined the panel showing the units it produced.
