Emptying the Philippine National Treasury (3, Bonus Chapter for European Admiral, Take My Spear's Hall Master)
"Dig, I'm digging, I'm digging, digging, digging!" William, now more than ten meters underground, was even happily singing a song.
It's all dirt here; there's no foundation anymore, but you can find some drainage pipes.
After all, this is King City. Even though the game is set in the Middle Ages, a sewer system is still present in the King City to some extent, even if it's not available in all towns.
William wasn't afraid of losing his position even from below.
As a legendary Legendary Boss, he always carries Compass. Once he has determined the direction and distance, he can simply dig in one direction.
One hour.
Two hours.
Three hours have passed.
William had realized that he must have infiltrated the Royal Palace.
He slowly dug upwards with his God's Left Hand, until he was ten meters from the ground, at which point he used his Soul Magic to sense the surface.
Tsk tsk.
Is anyone overhead?
They can clearly detect how many people are above them and whether there are people around them.
Meanwhile, the other side was unaware that they were underground and were about to take something from their National Treasury.
I must say, Holy Spirit Magic is truly amazing!
He has the potential to be Thief.
Or rather...
Assassin who can't use Soul Magic can never be Thief...
It can only be done by sneaking into unattended Player residences...
There are many Thief in Dawn City, most of whom are Player who specialize in stealing from the residences of Player who are traveling far away. Nowadays, many Assassin Player are becoming universally hated.
This is something you won't see anywhere else.
Because only Dawn City provides Player with Homeland System...
However, having a home in the game increases Player' sense of belonging, making them never abandon Dawn City unless it's absolutely necessary.
"I have to say, digging tunnels is an absolute genius skill. How come I never thought of that before?" William was overjoyed, but after a moment's thought, he realized that he didn't have the God's Left Hand back then!
Think about it.
How many geniuses can use their God's Left Hand, considered the best in the world, as an excavator?
Let's not talk about the Legendary Continent.
I doubt anyone on any of the nine continents of the World of Gods would do such a thing.
This is so embarrassing.
But William didn't care.
His skin is thick enough to withstand attacks from the Main God, let alone mere face!
Ten minutes later.
The Lord of Africa found a secluded corner, poked his head out, looked around like Burrowing Rat, and then dug down again.
Twenty minutes later, William reappeared.
Thirty minutes later, William reappeared...
This time, William did not burrow back underground.
Instead, he swaggered confidently into the Royal Family National Treasury!
That's right.
He has already plundered the Royal Family National Treasury.
Perhaps the Royal Family National Treasury is protected by Magic Barrier, or perhaps dozens of Intermediate-Class Professional will stand guard at the National Treasury gates.
However, they never imagined that someone had not only dug through the foundation, but also through the 30-centimeter-thick enchanted floor made of Orichalcum!
His Prince walked into the National Treasury as if he were returning home.
Gold Coin.
Gold Coin.
All Gold Coin?
William raised an eyebrow. This was not a good sign. The Royal Family Treasury contained over two million Gold Coin, already piled up like a mountain. How could a worthy lord be so short-sighted?
Just a few Gold Coin.
His Prince didn't even glance at it!
So he continued to yearn for a deeper look into the National Treasury.
One minute later.
William bypassed the Magic Prohibition and dug a hole through the wall.
"Equipment Treasury!" William's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but think to himself, "Wow, that's impressive! Over 4,000 sets of Mid-Class Silver Equipment are just sitting in the National Treasury, not being used? Are they just going to let them mold?"
"Tsk tsk, just as wasteful as the Steel Duchy. I admire how much Gold Coin and equipment you keep in your National Treasury." William understood the mindset of these human Royal Family or Nobles very well.
They are either the kind of guys who are rich and don't feel insecure, or they are just unwilling to invest heavily in converting that money into fighting power.
However, there's nothing that can be done about it. The human Nobles system is too complex, and the King doesn't control the entire nation's military. His main Legion definitely needs replacement equipment, and any excess equipment would just gather dust in the National Treasury. He wouldn't take out extra items to equip other Legion.
As for why they don't spend all those Gold Coin, besides needing to keep domestic commerce running, it's probably just a matter of personal preference.
Some King simply enjoyed looking at mountains of Gold Coin...
His Prince, without batting an eye, took all 4,000 sets of Silver Equipment.
Among them were more than 20 Epic-Class weapons and defensive equipment, more than 50 Dark Gold items, and more than 100 Golden Equipment, which he was also allowed to take with him. He didn't need them himself, but he could reward his subordinates.
After all, as an outstanding young man, he deeply understood that waste is shameful.
We must not forget the words of our ancestors!
"Tsk, Gem Treasury? King of the Philippines, are you getting cocky, or do you own a mine?" William wrinkled his nose, noticing the Magic Barrier on the walls, and decisively started digging.
Three minutes later.
William entered the Gem Treasury!
"Holy crap, do they really own a mine?" William couldn't help but widen his eyes. The gems were piled up like small mountains, divided into seven or eight piles, each containing attribute gems that increased strength, agility, Stamina, and Intelligence, as well as many Mana gems.
Tens of thousands of gemstones!
The quality is generally low, but there's so much of it!
The possibility of Dawn City equipping its entire army with gem-enhanced gear has appeared...
William swallowed hard, then decisively waved his hand and took them all away, leaving none behind!
"Wow, you're really rich, buddy. But where's the Magic Metal?" William returned to the National Treasury hall and finally saw the Metal Treasury.
Needless to say, there's Magic Barrier on the wall.
They dug through the ground again.
William burrowed into the Metal Treasury like Burrowing Rat. He looked at the more than 2,000 kilograms of various Magic Metal, including a lot of precious Purple Gold and various Essence, and immediately waved his hand to take them all away.
The Space Ring was almost half full, with equipment taking up the most space!
After a moment's thought, William decided to take several hundred thousand Gold Coin with him. After all, his family had been rather poor lately, and expenses had been high; it was time to replenish the lord's Private Little Treasury.
Of course, these Gold Coin can be discarded. When you're robbing someone else's National Treasury and find something good, you can simply leave the Gold Coin there...
"Wait a minute, that's not right. Moxis isn't here, but Old Bander is Spatial Grand Mage, I refuse to believe his Space Ring is small!" With that thought, William immediately waved his hands frantically, moving the entire Gold Mountain away. He then glanced at the mountain of Silver Coin he didn't want at all, and waved his hands again.
Copper Coin Mountain?
Waving...
Swing until you can't hold it all!
The National Treasury was emptied in a full half hour!
William's hands were a little sore from exhaustion...
He glanced at the few hundred thousand copper coins he had left, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed...
then.
He took out a Gold Coin from his Space Ring.
Oh, it's a gold brick, placed at the very top of the copper coin mountain~
"Hmm, this looks much better. I didn't want to go too far, but we're broke and have no food at home." William was about to turn and leave.
They stopped again.
He picked up the gold brick, stared blankly for three minutes, and then engraved a line of words on it!
The powerful warriors of the Asiya Duchy, Lesort, were here!
"That's good. With High-Class expert next door, no one can suspect me in this situation." William darted underground and disappeared.
Asiya Duchy – Duchy for Indonesia Player, one of the Archipelago Nations.
William just found a scapegoat NPC on the Forum...
