After entering, the small spatial rift healed quickly and soon disappeared.
Oh, my poor ring, I will never let you sacrifice yourself in vain.
Now that we're inside, getting out will be much easier; we can rely on the mechanisms inside.
"Several boxes of purple gold coins, no wonder they're rich in the capital!"
"So many magic cores, so many spiritual materials. I bet those people never expected anyone could break in."
"Sigh, what a pity to waste a spatial ring, otherwise I could have taken out even more things." After wandering around inside, Luo Fan found the magical key to open this place.
Now, as long as those people have bloodline verification, there will still be a chance to open it in the future.
Luo Fan jumped up excitedly and wandered around inside again, like a victorious general.
Haha, they're all mine now, thank you, Duke Lemons.
Luo Fan picked through many items rich in spiritual energy until his original ring was full, and then he stopped.
As it turned out, when they came out, by sheer coincidence, Toria was standing nearby with Yuki, scouting the area.
Because of the barrier, no lake water flowed back in this time. Luo Fan was thinking about how to explain when Xiao Xue hugged him tightly.
"Waaah~, Brother Fan, you scared me to death just now. You suddenly stopped responding completely, and there was that explosion sound. I was worried that something had happened to you."
"It's alright, it's alright, I'm perfectly fine." Luo Fan forgot that due to the spatial isolation, his clone outside had temporarily lost its vitality.
"Yes, it's good that you're alright."
"Luo Fan, how did you get into that hidden space?" Toria asked Luo Fan directly, standing inside a bubble.
Luo Fan didn't want to answer and swam towards the water with Xiao Xue.
This is a treasure I found myself, how could I possibly hand it over?
"Hey, I know you understand what I mean." With that, Toria chased after him. That little rascal was really awful; she had seen it with her own eyes.
On the shore, Luo Fan continued to play dead, ignoring the incessant chatter of Toria.
But in the end, he had no choice but to compromise under her tyranny.
"If you don't tell me, I'll expose what's going on there. When they find a way to open it, you won't get anything."
"Besides, aren't you afraid someone might sneak back and take the things inside?"
Luo Fan originally planned to come quietly and take everything for himself. He didn't believe anyone else had the ability to quickly break through that space; after all, the duke wasn't stupid.
But if this place is taken over by someone, then I'm doomed. If someone manages to take advantage of the situation, things will escalate, after all, not all of these guards are good people.
After discussing it carefully, and with Toria having somehow acquired a number of magic bags and her ring, they used a corpse the Duke had left nearby to pack up all the contents and bring them out.
With over a dozen full storage bags, plus her overflowing spatial rings, she was definitely rich overnight.
Before leaving, they deliberately left a mechanism: a trigger-activated magic circle, plus a level 4 fire scroll, enough to amuse those who came after them.
When they returned, Luo Fan even jumped onto her shoulder, just in case something unexpected happened.
As a result, after arriving in the capital, this girl actually went directly to Caitlin and reported the whole situation.
Those storage bags were all taken by His Highness and taken to the palace by the two of them.
You two bastards! Don't slimes have any human rights?!
"Waaah, why are you doing this to me? Do you know how hard it is for me to save up this money?" Luo Fan cried, wanting to cry but having no tears, and hugged Xiao Xue for comfort.
"So many purple gold coins! They were all mine, all mine! That wretched Toria, don't think I won't bully you just because you have big breasts! And Caitlin, you just wait."
"You're all big liars, all you do is bully a weak slime like me!"
"Brother Fan, Xue'er will never bully you!"
Ellie stood helplessly to the side, unsure how to persuade him. No matter what, Luo Fan seemed to be the one who had been wronged.
Haha~
Inside the palace, Saint Gulas was all smiles. Not only had the hidden dangers within the palace been eliminated, but he had also gained such a substantial sum of money.
After this round, he became the biggest winner, and even the hidden dangers he was most worried about before were gone.
"Father, Luo Fan is very unhappy. How about we make it up to him?" Seeing her father like this, Caitlin also felt somewhat guilty. He was the one who found the stolen goods, but they took them all.
Wouldn't it be even more troublesome if that little one threw a tantrum later?
"Well, let's make it up to him. I heard Simmons' report earlier, and that little guy really helped a lot. Although some people escaped, it wasn't his fault."
"Since it wants a title, I might as well give it a fiefdom as well. I'll give the land near Shadow Valley to Ellie, and as for whether it can be developed, I won't worry about that."
"Is that place even habitable? It's less than a hundred kilometers from the Demon Abyss. And they certainly won't leave the capital anytime soon."
“Others may not be able to, but Ellie certainly can. Her mother has always been thinking about that place and even wrote to ask for it.”
"Okay, I'll tell him the good news when I get back."
"Oh, by the way, Ellie's sister lives with you, right?"
"Hmm, what happened? She was a great help this time, escaping from capture and bringing the Knights to the venue in time."
"How much do you know about that little girl?" The emperor's smile faded as he looked at his daughter.
After giving her instructions, Toria left.
"Her talent in light magic is very high; she's about to break through to become a mid-level mage. Also, she has a problem with her eyes; I'm thinking of having someone take a look at them."
"Alas, since that's the case, the original agreement is null and void. No wonder the Duke took action to arrest her; there will probably be more people coming to pressure me later."
Caitlin was confused and waited for her father to explain further.
"There is some secret hidden in that little girl's eyes, which is very important to those above the level of Grand Magister."
"So, that's why she went blind?"
"Well, if she doesn't practice magic, she won't live long. Once she dies, those things will dissipate." The emperor gave a brief explanation but didn't elaborate further.
Back then, those people were intimidated by the Dark Witch's power, fearing she would activate those elements. Now that the agreement has been broken, he can no longer control those people.
After all, he was also tempted, but he knew his own limitations. If he didn't handle it well, those people wouldn't care whether he was the emperor or not.
Once the opportunity to take that step arises, who can resist the temptation?
Caitlin didn't know what to say, but she realized the seriousness of the problem.
Alas, these are truly turbulent times!
In the middle of the night, she and Toria finally returned to their mansion, but their faces were more solemn.
However, what happened next left them both amused and exasperated.
That wretched slime dared to peep at them while they were bathing, and so openly at that! Who could tolerate that?!
