nThe Castle Full of Treasures

nWith a nervous heart, Faith hesitantly opened another door in the corridor.

nIt was the same as before.

nShe had only secretly opened a small gap.

nThe lesson she learned from before caused her to be afraid that any monster's nest could be behind the door once she opened it.

nShe might have been lucky just now as there were only gold coins.

nIf she opened the door and a monster appeared behind it, she wouldn't know how to escape.

nThinking of this possibility, Faith felt a chill down her spine.

nThis entire place was very strange. It wasn't wrong to be cautious.

nFaith carefully opened the door and saw light pouring through the gap.

n?

nLight?

nThis made Faith feel slightly relieved.

nThere was light, which meant that there might be people living here.

nBut Faith's eyes were still focused and continued to scan the surroundings.

nThis room seemed to be made of stone.

nThere were no decorations around, only walls.

nIt was different from the previous huge nest room; the walls of this room were lit by torches.

nBut because the lights were too dim, only a few things could barely be seen.

nThere were also some unclear light sources scattered around.

nFaith observed for a while.

nUpon being certain that no one was inside, she carefully opened the door.

nShe had just seen wonders like the Sea of Gold Coins, the Magic Core Mountain, and the Purple Gold Coins.

nRegardless of what she might see next, she would not be as surprised anymore.

nThat was what she thought before stepping into the room.

nUpon entering the place, the torches suddenly lit up one by one, as if to welcome its owner.

nThis caused Faith to jump with fright.

nUnlike the huge nest before, this room was vertical.

nAfter opening the door, only one path could be taken through the room, and that was to walk straight ahead.

nFrom Faith's point of view, there seemed to be an endless corridor ahead.

nThis...

nNo matter how dense Faith was, she knew there was something strange about this place, be it the self-lit torches, the endless corridor, or the weird castle structure.

nHow could there be such a strange place?

nFaith wanted to leave. She didn't want to further explore the room.

nBut just as she was about to leave, she suddenly noticed them, what she thought were torches on the walls.

nThey seemed a bit strange, more like the feet of animals.

nIt wasn't because Faith was very knowledgeable, but because she suddenly recalled that there used to be a powerful rank 7 magic beast, the Flame Centipede King, near the country of Langham.

nThe Flame Centipede King was covered in armor and had thousands of flaming feet.

nEverywhere it went, the ground would be blanketed in flames.

nMoreover, due to its high defense power and escaping ability, even a rank 8 human warrior might not be able to kill it.

nIt had also become one of the magic beasts that severely threatened their kingdom's safety.

nThe king had once gathered the kingdom's elites as he aimed to slay it.

nHowever, it seemed to be very intelligent. Every time the kingdom attempted an attack, it would hide underground.

nIt was nearly impossible for anyone to attack it unless the beast was the one initiating the fight.

nEven her master, Mondo, could not do anything against it.

nSeveral successive expeditions ended with failures to slay it.

nAlthough no damage was taken, they were unable to yield any results.

nJust when the kingdom started to run out of ideas to deal with it, the Flame Centipede King suddenly disappeared.

nYes, it did.

nIt disappeared without any warning.

nThe kingdom suspected that this was a ruse by the Flame Centipede King.

nThe purpose was to make them relax their vigilance.

nBut after careful investigation and verification by Mondo, it was discovered that the Flame Centipede King seemed to have vanished for good.

nAt the place where it disappeared, there was a huge hole that did not seem to be its nest.

nIt was more like a battle had broken out there.

nMondo was a little shocked by the power generated that caused the hole's formation.

nEven an eighth-rank high-level mage couldn't do this kind of damage by forcefully using a ninth-rank spell.

nHence, Mondo assumed that the Flame Centipede King must have angered a warrior and was slain as a result.

nAnd now, the torches hanging on the walls appeared to look like the feet of the Flame Centipede King.

nFaith swallowed her saliva.

nThe more she looked at these

"torches

", the more they looked like it.

nIf those were its feet, then the owner of this place, could it be the powerful warrior who killed the Flame Centipede King?

nThinking of this, Faith suddenly felt a wave of fear.

nIf this was true, her chances of escaping were very slim.

nFaith's mind was a little confused at this moment.

nShe wanted to leave quickly and end the exploration of that room.

nBut she remembered that she had seen some unknown luminous objects through the gap of the room.

nFaith looked around and noticed some shiny objects near a corner.

nEven the most beautiful and mesmerizing gem in her palace was not as clear and transparent as it was.

nFaith wanted to pick it up and take some souvenirs with her, but she was astonished to find that the shiny and beautiful things were not beautiful gemstones.

nInstead, they were eyeballs!

nFaith went forward and carefully analyzed them.

nOh my god!

nThese seemingly beautiful crystals were all eyeballs of the rank 7 magic beast, Redwood Feather Moth!

nIt was also a magic beast from the vicinity of the country of Langham and was very deadly.

nDue to the destructive power of its powder, the army never succeeded in defeating it.

nBut just like the Flame Centipede King, it disappeared suddenly and never reappeared.

nSubsequently, the country of Langham had investigated several times, but alas, they did not find anything.

nFaith looked at the materials that the owner of this place had casually thrown around and was a little puzzled.

nHow did the body parts of these two magic beasts appear here?

nAnd judging from their usage as mere decorations, the importance of these two magic beasts did not seem to be very high in the eyes of its owner.

nThe flame feet of the Flame Centipede was a key material that could be used to synthesize a rank 7 explosive potion, while the high-level meditation potion made from the eyeballs of the Redwood Feather Moth could increase a mage's meditation efficiency by 200%.

nAs for high-level mages, it could increase their meditation efficiency by more than 100%.

nWhether it was for trade or self-synthesis, they were all precious materials.

nThe national treasury of Langham did not even have treasures like these, yet they could be found everywhere here?

nThe owner of this place even hung these materials on the walls as torches.

nWasn't this very wasteful of them?

n
