Scavenging and Mass Teleportation

Looking down at the subjugated, Animated Armor, Charlotte couldn't help but feel a touch of wicked amusement as she recalled the horrific scene of being chased.

So he smiled and asked, "What's your name?"

"I have no name. My only duty is to guard this secret room and welcome your arrival."

"No matter what your name was before, from now on your name will be Tie Dan, understand?"

"Yes, Master."

Although the Animated Armor had no emotions and felt nothing for the name, Charlotte still felt a sense of satisfaction at having avenged her great grudge.

"Since you're chasing me, I'll give you a name even a dog would despise!" Ming Yue said coldly from the side, her face grim. "Guild Leader, we don't have much time. Can we stop playing around?"

Charlotte then remembered the important matter and quickly issued the order, "Tie Dan, take me inside."

"Highest privileges detected, Earl Donald, please enter."

"Boom--"

The Animated Armor pressed its handprint, and with ripples of magic, the heavy stone door slowly rose, revealing the entrance to the Earl's secret chamber before everyone.

"Hiss—" Charlotte, who had transformed into Earl Donald and was heavily pregnant, gasped and almost revealed her true form.

"They're incredibly greedy."

Charlotte couldn't help but marvel, even his pupils were filled with golden light.

In the spacious secret chamber, gold was piled up like mountains, and glittering gems and pearls flowed down like a river, dazzling the players.

In the crystal cabinet next to it, there were parchments filled with densely written text.

The man next to him, nicknamed "Lucky Emperor," Big Mouth, his legs trembling. "Are all the Earl of Thrace this rich? If they robbed every noble in the capital, wouldn't they be rolling in money? How many chests could they open?"

The Lucky Emperor still can't forget the tragedy of losing the box gambling game back then—if he were given another chance, he would definitely redeem himself and create a miracle.

Charlotte tapped the back of the Lucky Emperor's head and couldn't help but scold, "Forget about your stupid box, the most important thing is to find intelligence!"

Ming Yue also reminded us, "We don't have much time left. The Thrace could come knocking at any moment. Take as much money as you can and find all the important intelligence and mission items first."

Charlotte patted the Lucky Emperor on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Lucky Emperor, since you're more efficient, you and I will search for clues together. The rest of you, empty that fat pig's secret room, don't leave a single treasure behind!"

"Good!"

The players were overjoyed and cheered in unison. The Wei Ai Fa Ye even jumped excitedly into the pile of gold, just like in the animation.

"Ouch!"

With a painful scream, the Wei Ai Fa Ye's health bar dropped by half, and all the bones in his body were almost broken.

However, most players remained normal. They took out their respective Dimensional Bag, waved their staffs, and manipulated the Gold Coin, pearls, and gems to flow into them continuously.

Only the Lucky Emperor, with a long face, responded in a low voice, "Yes, Chairman."

Charlotte and the Lucky Emperor plunged into the pile of parchment and examined it carefully. Most of the parchment contained financial transactions between royalty and nobles, and contained a lot of information.

"The Earl Elliot Morrison has sent three thousand Gold Coin to obtain a charter from His Majesty Wilhelm to secure the position of Court Minister for his son."

Viscount Louis Kaufman purchased three twelve-year-old pageboys for one hundred Gold Coin, requiring them to be handsome.

"Earl Henry Harrison spent a thousand Gold Coin to buy a villa in the outer city for his mistress to live in."

"Alright, let's just put all these things into our Dimensional Bag. Maybe we can use them as evidence to blackmail these Thrace." Charlotte waved her hand and put all the parchment scrolls into her bag.

The clinking of Gold Coin and the unrestrained laughter of the players filled the secret room.

As the Lucky Emperor sorted through the scrolls, he looked at Charlotte expectantly and said righteously, "President, I see they're working too hard, I'll go help them pick up the money!"

"Dream on."

Charlotte glanced at him and pointed to a corner of the secret room. "Keep looking for clues. Earl Donald certainly wouldn't hide important information in such an obvious place."

A large portion of these Gold Coin must be handed over to the imperial authorities, and another portion is to be used as reserve funds for the guild.

"But if I let you open boxes with it, it'd probably be no different from confiscating it; it's all money going to the Empire anyway." Thinking of how the Lucky Emperor had gone bankrupt opening boxes and still hadn't paid off his debts, Charlotte felt a surge of satisfaction and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Ding-dong."

The crisp sound of the Gold Coin was like the whisper of Succubus. Feeling the pain of a lover so close yet untouchable, the Lucky Emperor took a deep breath, his clenched fist trembling slightly.

Charlotte, you've gone too far!

"I'm going to post the video of you seducing the Earl in drag on the forum, making you the second king of social death since Lang Li Bai Tiao!" the Lucky Emperor roared in his heart.

Still seemingly still furious, he took advantage of Charlotte's inattention and pounded the wall hard to vent his anger.

"Bang!"

"Wait a minute, this sound... something seems off?"

Curious, the Lucky Emperor pressed his head against the wall again and knocked on it. To his astonishment, he discovered that the wall was hollow! "Come quick, look! The wall here is hollow! There's something hidden inside!"

Charlotte, the Flying Witch, and other players quickly gathered around, only to see an extremely complex Six-Pointed Star Array gradually appearing on the wall.

Charlotte carefully examined the magic circle and whispered, "This should be the quest item we're looking for."

He raised his staff, chanted a spell in a low voice, and a faint magical light appeared.

[Dispel Magic]

However, this third-ring level Dispel Magic was useless against the complex magic array, and was simply a waste of spell Spell Slot.

"Beep beep, beep beep—"

Just then, the device that the players of the Magic Coin had placed at the entrance of the secret room started making a sound and flashing red light continuously.

The Ming Yue, guarding the entrance, warned, "Our Divination has taken effect! It's an extremely strong fluctuation of spatial magic! The spellcasters from the Thrace Kingdom will arrive soon!"

Charlotte hurriedly asked, "Didn't you release the Space Lock?"

Ming Yue shook her head and replied, "It won't last long. The opponent's spatial magic is too powerful; it's probably at the eighth level."

Even a scroll personally crafted by Lord Lang Pu can only last for about three minutes. Guild Master, we must evacuate as soon as possible!

"Give me two more minutes. If this hidden compartment isn't open by then, we'll activate the teleportation!"

"Okay, Chairman."

Charlotte couldn't help but curse inwardly, "The Thrace arrived so quickly. We wasted too much time just now. We finally found this important intelligence."

However, he had no time to complain. At this moment, he could only stare intently at the magic circle, hoping to find a solution.

"Quick, we're running out of time! Think of a way to break this magic circle!"

"Boom!"

To Charlotte's bewildered gaze, the Flying Witch used her wand as a club and slammed it hard against the wall beside her.

Debris flew everywhere, and a large hole was smashed in the wall. The Flying Witch, like a demolition worker, smashed into it from the side and took out a black, hot metal box.

The Flying Witch, holding the black box and covered in dust, grumbled, "What's there to think about? Just smash through the wall!"

"Well, you're the one who has the best ideas."

Charlotte's lips twitched slightly, but she quickly took the box and called out to Ming Yue at the door, "Quick, we got the stuff! Prepare to activate the Mass Teleportation!"

"Good!"

Ming Yue swiftly took out the scroll she had prepared in advance and activated it. The scroll immediately emitted a dazzling light that enveloped everyone.

"Tie Dan, come here."

Charlotte commanded.

The Animated Armor strode heavily to Charlotte's side and was included in the teleportation range as an "item." Since it was high-end combat power that she got for free, she might as well take it.

Once they reach Anzeta, it will be completely their territory. Even if this Animated Armor goes berserk, it won't cause much of a stir.

Charlotte also quietly opened the slightly hot metal box, and inside lay a tattered piece of parchment, which seemed to be a contract.

The text on it was written in black and red blood, faintly exuding an evil aura, and the contents of the contract were so blurred that only one signature could be seen.

"Zariel?"

Who is that? I feel like I've heard that name somewhere before.

Charlotte was rubbing her chin and muttering to herself when the space in front of her suddenly rippled, followed by spiderweb-like cracks appearing like a glass window.

A burning longsword suddenly emerged from the Space Rift, followed by the flapping of broad wings, feathers flying through the air, and a thunderous roar.

"What audacity!"

"How dare you assassinate Thrace nobleman! This is an act of contempt for His Majesty Wilhelm!"

The players all turned their gazes toward him, and there stood a handsome man with wings on his back and wearing silver armor. Behind him was an old man wearing a magnificent red robe and holding a scepter, exuding an aura of mystery.

"Kill them! These invaders are trying to escape!"

The Red Robe Mage raised his scepter, and a powerful magical aura spread outwards, with invisible chains rising from the surroundings as if to Space Lock.

"You lowly mortal, die!"

The man suddenly flapped his wings, raised the Flame Longsword in his hand, and was about to attack.

A fierce wind swept in, and the mere aura emanating from the Angel Divine Descendant made the players tremble.

Charlotte's expression changed drastically upon seeing the two people who had suddenly appeared. "Holy crap, Angel Divine Descendant, Archmage Ming Yue, quickly tear up the scroll!"

"Clear!"

Ming Yue gritted her teeth and devoted herself entirely to the scroll of the [Mass Teleportation, finally activating it completely.

"Whoosh—"

With a powerful surge of magic, at the very last moment before the Space Lock closed—the players with the Magic Coin, along with their Animated Armor, vanished from the spot.

Before leaving, Charlotte gave a sly smile and waved to the Angel Divine Descendant who was rushing towards her.

"Foolish Thrace, this is the route I took to escape!"

"Whoosh—"

The Flame Longsword swung through the air, its powerful strike creating huge cracks in the wall behind it, and the surging flames melted the remaining gold in the secret chamber.

"They still managed to get away with those despicable mortals!"

The man folded his wings, knelt down, and angrily plunged his longsword into the ground, causing the ground to crack.

His eyes were bloodshot. He turned his head and gritted his teeth as he looked at the mage behind him. "William, can you track down their location?"

The Red Robe Mage sighed and shook his head helplessly, "Lord Hans, the level of these mages is not high, but the being who drew the scrolls for them is more skillful than I imagined."

Their Mass Teleportation left no trace of coordinates, and my divination orb was also shrouded in mist.

Damn it!

The Angel Divine Descendant, known as "Lord Hans," angrily slammed his hammer into the ground once more, causing the entire underground world to tremble slightly.

"And that Donald, what a pig! To be bewitched by such despicable means, he has truly disgraced His Majesty Wilhelm!"

Mentioning His Majesty's name, Hans looked at the smashed wall and the empty secret compartment, a hint of panic flashing across his usually arrogant face. "Damn it, damn it! His Majesty said that contract was important, that bastard Donald doesn't deserve trust."

Anzeta Great Wasteland, on the Istaria City, a special experimental site for Magic Coin.

As space twisted and rippled, a dozen blurry figures appeared out of thin air, and Charlotte and her group appeared together.

Charlotte patted her face with lingering fear and exclaimed sincerely, "What a close call! That birdman's sword was almost hitting my face. Luckily, we teleported away at the last moment."

Ming Yue nodded in agreement. "We're finally back. It's safer to stay in the Empire."

Charlotte casually took off her [Doppelganger Robe], wiped her sweat, and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Phew, my face is still much more handsome. That fat pig is nowhere near as good as me."

He looked at the Animated Armor beside him and said with a smile, "Right, Tie Dan?"

However, after Charlotte's transformation, red light emanated from the gaps in the Animated Armor, and a cold, piercing sound came from within it.

"Enemy detected! Eliminate the intruder with full force!"

The Animated Armor dragged its heavy iron hammer, aiming at Charlotte's head, ready to smash it down.

However, Charlotte simply pointed a finger, and instantly, a tremendous power surged forth, freezing the Animated Armor in place, its arms hanging limply at its sides.

This extremely powerful and robust Dead Magic Zone directly rendered the magic core within the Animated Armor powerless, leaving it no choice but to obey Charlotte's commands.

—That is the power of an Imperial Earl!

Charlotte walked fearlessly to the side of the Animated Armor and said in a pretentious manner, "You thought we were in a secret room, Tie Dan? This is my home turf!"

The members of Magic Coin also learned of the return of the elite members and quickly gathered around.

"President, you're back!"

"Holy crap, they even brought back a level 12 construct! That's awesome!"

Charlotte patted the back of the unresponsive Animated Armor and said with great enthusiasm, "This is Tie Dan. From now on, it will be our experimental subject for Magic Coin!"

However, he did not notice that the Lucky Emperor behind him gripped the Image Recording Stone tightly and revealed a strange smile.
