The last treasure of the Anzhi Empire's royal family has been found.

Hundreds of meters underground.

However, this treasure vault seems to be accessed via magical Teleport, as there are no connecting passages.

For Sun Fei, this was not a problem at all.

He didn't need to search for a passage at all; he simply used his immense brute force to carve out a tunnel underground, arriving at the edge of the Anzhi Empire's final treasure vault. He forcibly broke through the vault's magical Barrier and finally entered.

Contrary to the imagined scene of glittering gold and jewels, this place is extremely fresh and quiet.

This is an underground palace covering an area of over twenty acres.

The four walls are covered with powerful runes, making the Rock as hard as steel and also concealing their presence. Ordinary experts would find it difficult to discover this place, and even if they did, they would find it difficult to break in. The palace is extremely clean, with magical ever-burning lamps on the walls. The orange light makes the place as beautiful and tranquil as at sunset.

In the center of the palace, there was even a garden fountain that led directly to an underground spring and river, shimmering with a faint Magic Power. Clear spring water gushed from the ground, flowing in all directions along the bluestone channels, nourishing the plants in the flowerbeds at the corners of the palace walls. Some plants were already budding and blooming, colorful and vibrant. The gurgling water made the entire palace even more tranquil, and everything seemed as beautiful as a dream.

To Sun Fei's slight surprise, a fully armed 'army' stood silently in the main hall.

This was actually a 'great army' composed entirely of all kinds of armor, arranged together, including swordsmen, crossbowmen, tower shield soldiers, knights, and horses... It had every type of military unit on the continent except for the air force.

These perfectly fitted suits of armor were exquisitely designed, covering almost the entire human body. The faceplates were so lifelike they resembled human faces, leaving only the pupils and nostrils exposed for breathing. Placed quietly in the hall, at first glance, they looked like an army composed entirely of living people, exuding a chilling aura.

"This style of armor is rarely seen on the Azeroth Continent, and the way it covers the entire body is not very scientific and difficult to apply in actual combat. Why would the Anzhi Imperial Family create such armor?"

Sun Fei was a little confused.

He walked up to examine it, casually picked up a helmet, and felt its weight. This helmet, which looked to weigh only ten or so pounds, was surprisingly heavy, weighing at least a hundred pounds, which greatly surprised Sun Fei.

"Huh? It's actually made of an extremely rare Mithril. This Mithril is incredibly heavy, but it has excellent energy conductivity... This Mithril is usually used to forge Dou Weapon; it's a rare material that's worth a fortune. The Anzhi people are actually using it to make armor? That doesn't make sense. Armor made of Mithril weighs at least a thousand jin (500 kg), and with weapons included, a full set of such armor would weigh at least two thousand jin (1000 kg). Even a Early-Tier Moon Class expert would find it difficult to move around. There are at least five thousand suits of armor in this hall. Who's going to wear so many? Does the Anzhi Empire have more than five thousand Moon Class experts?"

Seeing this, Sun Fei's doubts deepened even further.

Even for a great empire, it's unrealistic to send five thousand Moon Class experts at once. Moreover, using Mithril to forge simple armor is far too extravagant and wasteful; it's like using gold to make hoes and woodcutters.

Mystery!

An unsolved mystery.

Sun Fei carefully observed the area and confirmed that the entire 'army' here was made of Mithril.

"These armors alone are enough to make countless powerful figures and empires on the continent envious. Even a ninth-level empire would need hundreds of years to accumulate so much Mithril. The Anzhi Empire has only recently risen to power. Where did it get so much Mithril?"

His Majesty the King was practically cursing Emperor of Anzhi Suleiman Klimov, that spendthrift son, in his heart.

Using Mithril to forge armor is far too extravagant. It's like a beggar who can't even afford food using US dollars to wipe his butt—it's outrageous. In an instant, Sun Fei had the urge to melt all the armor into Mithril and reforge it.

He patiently continued to observe.

Only then did they discover that the four sides of the main hall were connected to these relatively smaller storage rooms.

In these storage rooms, Sun Fei discovered a large number of high-quality magic stones, Legendary Class martial arts manuals, hundreds of decent-quality Dou Weapon, some magical artifacts, scrolls, and magical armor. These items would inevitably cause a bloody battle if they were to circulate in the outside world, but they held little appeal for Sun Fei.

The magical level of Chambord City is rising steadily. Putting aside everything else, the magical weapons, items, and scrolls produced by the Madman's Laboratory, the armor forged by the dark female blacksmith Charsi, and the martial arts and other knowledge contained in the two tomes, [ The Demon King's Wisdom ] and [ The Demon King's Sharp Sword ], are enough to instantly surpass everything that the Anzhi people consider priceless.

However, existence arises from non-existence.

Sun Fei happily accepted it all.

With so much wealth, Sun Fei's storage ring simply couldn't hold it all. After much thought, the only solution was to activate a simple magic Teleport and have the soldiers on the [ Black Pearl ] and [ One-Eyed Dragon ] transport it. The two Lord Class Black Warship could probably hold everything here.

Of course, Sun Fei would still keep some valuables safe himself.

After searching the main hall for a while, they soon arrived at the deepest part of the hall.

Here stand two towering, crowned dragon statues, each over forty meters tall, crouching and holding a sharp Sharp Sword in each hand. They are majestic and imposing. Above the nine steps in the middle of the statues is a five-colored glazed throne, level with the dragon heads of the palace, as if a high-ranking deity overlooking the earth and its inhabitants. This five-colored glazed throne is exactly the same as the throne in the main hall of the Anzhi Imperial Palace above ground.

The only difference was that a person sat upright on the throne.

A magnificent emperor dressed in a purple royal robe, wearing a golden crown, and holding a golden scepter.

At first, Sun Fei didn't pay much attention, because this 'person' had no aura at all and felt exactly the same as the sculptures forged from Mithril in the main hall. Perhaps it was just another unique sculpture. However, Sun Fei soon realized that something was wrong.

This is actually a single person.

However, it was a dead man.

That's why he had no breath left.

Sun Fei flashed to the throne and carefully examined the corpse.

Second update.
