Chapter 5: Robbing the Treasury

Along the way, Yarne saw many ragged and hungry civilians sitting on the roadside.

Yarne felt a little surprised. This was the capital of the Simon Empire. He did not expect there to be so many poor civilians.

Yarne’s originally excited mood turned glum.

“Save… Save Me.”

When he pa.s.sed by a slum, Yarne heard a cry for help.

A young man, who was dressed luxuriously but covered in blood, stumbled out. After a few steps, fell to the ground. The wounds on the man’s body were so deep that his bones could be seen, and blood kept seeping out. Before he died, his hands were still struggling weakly.

This scene gave the surrounding civilians a fright. They all gathered closer to the corpse of the luxuriously dressed man, but no one dared to go forward to take a look.

If they were treated as murderers by the patrolling soldiers, they would be immediately arrested and sentenced to death.

Yarne walked forward and took a look at the injuries on the man’s body. The fatal injury was on his abdomen, which had been penetrated by a sharp weapon.

Other than that, there was no other information.

At this moment, the system’s notification sound rang in Yarne’s mind.

“Ding, automatic retrieval of the memory information of the deceased.”

Yarne was stunned for a moment. He did not expect the system to be able to retrieve the memory of the deceased as well as the words.

“The information of the deceased has been retrieved. Do you wish to review?”

“Review!”

Then, some scenes flashed in Yarne’s mind like a movie.

“Charles, the ninth Prince of the Xi Zhao Empire is pursuing…”

A moment later, Yarne found out that the dead man was actually the ninth Prince of the Xi Zhao Empire. After failing to compete with his brothers for the right to inherit the throne, he had been forced to flee to the Simon Empire.

However, the other princes of the Xi Zhao Empire did not intend to let Charles go.

Just a few hours ago, Charles had been hit by an a.s.sa.s.sin. Although he escaped under the cover of his trusted aides, he could not escape death because of his heavy injuries.

What interested Yarne was the mansion where Charles lived in the Simon Empire. There was a small treasury. Inside it was all sorts of rare treasures and a large number of gold coins that Charles had brought from the Twilight Empire.

No one would complain about having too much money, let alone Yarne, who was a modern man who pursued the quality of life.

Although Vivian had given him quite a few gold coins, enough to cover the expenses of a civilian for more than a decade, it was far from enough to enjoy a high-quality life.

So, Yarne decided to visit Charles’ mansion.

Charles’ mansion was in the most prosperous area of Simon Empire’s capital. There were a lot of n.o.bles and wealthy merchants living there. The environment was elegant, and there were many houses. There was no garbage on the wide road, and the air was filled with the fragrance of flowers.

According to Charles’memory, Yarne easily found his mansion.

Before he went in, Yarne smelled a pungent smell of blood, which put him on high alert.

After becoming a 1-star rune-master, Yarne’s soul perception was strengthened. In his perception, Charles’mansion was filled with dead bodies. The blood had stained the clean ground and had splashed on the snow-white walls, making one’s heart tremble.

There were no survivors in the mansion.

Yarne heaved a sigh of relief and let down his guard. He quickly walked toward Charles’ treasury. He easily opened the mechanism that Charles had set on the door of the small treasury, and excitedly opened the door.

Seeing all kinds of dazzling treasures and gold coins inside, Yarne was stunned. Just the gold coins alone filled with several large boxes, emitting a dazzling light. There were hundreds of thousands of gold coins.

In addition to gold coins, there were many different things in the treasury, such as precious medicinal herbs, s.h.i.+ny gems, and so on. There were also some things that Yarne did not recognise that could be stored in the treasury by Charles, who was a prince. They were definitely good things.

Yarne swallowed his saliva and suppressed the ecstasy in his heart. He had to take all these things away, but he could not take much with only two hands.

However, he could use the power of runes. If he could have a portable hidden s.p.a.ce, he could take everything away.

Yes, portable s.p.a.ce.

The English words immediately appeared in Yarne’s mind. These English words were transformed into runes by the system.

After thinking this, the same purple rune projection was projected in the air, sprinkling down holy light. A moment later, the purple rune shrank and entered Yarne’s mind.

This purple rune had an independent s.p.a.ce, about 500 square meters. It was practically a warehouse.

Yarne was overjoyed. He quickly stuffed everything in the treasury into the s.p.a.ce. Although there were a lot of things in Charles’ vault, they only took up a small area in the s.p.a.ce.

When he had finished, Yarne heard a series of footsteps coming from outside the mansion. They were neat and close like raindrops.

He guessed that the imperial army had come. After all, so many people had died in Charles’ mansion. It was difficult not to attract the attention of others.

Dozens of soldiers were led into the mansion by an armed officer.

“You are in charge of checking for any survivors. Search every room.”

As these soldiers were searching the mansion, Yarne had already left the mansion with a full load of loot.

With so many gold coins, even if Yarne squandered freely, it would take him more than ten years to squander them all.

My body is too dirty. I should take a good bath

The problem now was to find a hotel, take a good shower, sleep, and send his clothes for was.h.i.+ng. They were smelly and dirty, which made Yarne very uncomfortable.
