169 Erafir: The Spy In The Treasure Chest! (1/2)

Hours later, the moon soon reached its peak--emitting the brightest light for the night. When the throne room was illuminated, it revealed several men that were hanged all over the place.

Blood dripped from the holes in their chest to their feet, before dripping into the ground. Their blood had consequently covered the intricate design of the floor and, at the same time, it had damped the blue carpet heading straight to the throne.

At this moment, the stench of blood had started to spread across the room. However, the doors that open inwards were blocked by a pile of treasures--consisting of gold coins, weapons, gems, and other precious items or equipment.

This had sealed the only entrance into the throne room--consequently causing the air to flow out of the windows. With this, it would take a longer time for the Royal Knights or anyone else to notice the tragic fate that those inside the throne room had suffered.

That said, after a few hours of nothing but the dripping sound of blood echoing into the room, the huge treasure chest located on top of the mountain of treasures had started to shake as if it was an egg that was about to hatch. It was so huge to the point that even two or three humans might fit inside it.

Later on, a golden key shot up from the piles of treasure and perfectly inserted itself into the lock of the treasure chest. Then, it turned around making a 'clack' sound--signifying that the lock of the chest was opened.

However, the chest did not burst open like it usually did in the dungeons. Instead, its cover was simply lifted a few centimeters high--just enough for anyone to peak in it. But on the contrary, a man's eyes peaked from the inside and glanced around the throne room as if it was checking if there were anyone outside.

Seeing nothing but dead bodies hanging around, the man pushed the cover of the huge treasure chest upward--completely opening it and revealing the figure of a man that was inside. But in the next seconds, the man was able to sniff the strong metallic smell of the blood--making him cough as if he was about to vomit.

”This...” The man coughed several more times before he bit into his arm to avoid vomiting.

'I need to tell Guild Leader about this!' The man thought as he navigated to his player interface and started typing as fast as he can.

[Erafir: Guild Leader Weyron! Urgent News! The Tarala Kingdom would soon fall like the Kagat Village! I am currently inside the throne room of the Tarala Kingdom's Royal Castle!

Ernald, the King... together with the rest of the royalties, the elders, and the advisors are hanged to their deaths, inside.

It would be easy for me to take all these treasures and escape from this place. But... I think that this is a good opportunity for us to take over this Kingdom!

You can leave the setup to me! I'll just make it look like the advisors and elders were the ones behind this horrendous event.

All you need to do is find a way to get into the Tarala Kingdom's Royal Castle and bring some knights with you to act as witnesses.

Please do send me a message about the arrangement within these two days. If you guys won't be able to arrive, I'll take all the treasures and I'll hide back inside the chest until everything is clear.

You don't need to worry about me being detected. Rest assured that even the demons were not able to sense my presence whilst I was inside this chest that we got from Meen.

So... I'll leave the rest up to you, Guild Master. Just... I hope that you won't forget to put this treasure chest into a 'safe' place.

It would be ideal for you to bring a person who could take over the throne of the Tarala Kingdom. Maybe we can ask the other 'Infis' if they knew any noble from the other nearby Villages or Kingdoms that are related to King Ernald.

We can establish a contract with them and make them the new rulers of the Talaca Kingdom.

A child is our best option. They would be easier for us to control.

On another note, It seems like the 'goddess' that Kageyama and the Japanese players referred to was actually a demon--a vampire. She, together with another man, were the ones responsible for the death of the heads of this Kingdom.

Based on what I heard, the inheritance that the top players from the United Asian Force used was actually just a contract made by them. Unfortunately, I was not able to gather any further information about how it was created.

I just know that it won't bring us anything good, even if it would give us elemental powers that could make us stronger than the ordinary players.

In any case... That's all for my report.

Please remember to be here in the Tarala Kingdom in two days.

Whether we gain control of the Kingdom or not, we would benefit, either way, just being in this Kingdom.]
