Chapter 158: Theft in the Palace
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After leaving the hotel, Fike and Xiao Zhao wandered aimlessly down the main streets of the Donta tribe’s main hub.
At this time, the sky was not yet completely bright, and there were not many other pedestrians on the streets.
Xiao Zhao spoke first.
“Fike, where are we going now? Are we leaving?”
Fike looked at her and thought for a moment before saying.
“I plan to leave this place later. Before we go, I need to do something!”
“What is it?”
Xiao Zhao asked.
“You’ll know in a while!”
Fike brought her to the palace in the middle of the hub.
“What are you doing here? Don’t tell me you want to go in?”
Fike only smiled mysteriously.
“Wait for me here for a bit. I’ll be out in a moment!”
After saying that, he walked over to a corner of the outer palace walls, and casually leapt over it.
Although it hadn’t been very tall for Fike, in this primitive period 3,000 years in the past, even Tyron himself wouldn’t have been able to so easily scale such a wall without using any tools.
The guards at the entrance never noticed Fike’s blinding speed, and remained silently at their posts.
When Xiao Zhao saw this, she couldn’t help but sigh.
“Fike is really too amazing!”
Fike arrived at the palace, finding a scene that was somewhat different from what he had imagined.
The palace wasn’t very big at all. The main building was short, but there were still some unique structures that had been built in rows within the walls.
At this time, there were not many others in the palace.
No servants or patrolling guards could be seen anywhere, only simple flowers and plants.
The place reminded him of the slums that had seen in Romon City back then.
“I wonder if that guy is here...”
Fike muttered to himself.
Then, he quickly flew around the palace, exploring the rooms around him.
After passing through a long corridor, he finally arrived at a residence in the backyard of the palace.
Here, the names of the owners of the rooms were inscribed above the doors, so Fike easily found his target.
After looking around for a short while, his eyes locked onto a room.
“I found you!”
Fike said with a smile.
Then, he walked into the room.
Restraining his breath, he slowly pried open the doors to reveal a small plaque hanging on the wall inside.
‘Sakir Residence’.
Fike smiled contemptuously as he pushed the door all the way open.
His eyes were met with countless piles of jewelry, equipment, and rare art collections, all hoarded in the room.
This was just the entrance.
As Fike continued to walk through the entrance and into the main room, he found a huge bed in the center, with a whole treasure trove of jewelry scattered around everywhere else, almost filling up the room.
There were also many women here, lying naked around the big bed.
When Fike saw the scene before him, he couldn’t help but judge.
‘This Sakir is really a bastard!
‘When Rowei and Romon recruit their rebels and siege this place one day, I wonder what will happen to this kid…’
As he pondered, he continued to explore the room.
In fact, Fike’s purpose for this trip was to help Romon get back his sword.
Although the quality of the sword had been mediocre in Fike’s eyes, he knew that in this era, it could have been considered one of the best.
Fike searched around the room, but could not find any trace of it.
Just as he had been about to head off another area of the palace, his eyes suddenly lit up.
It turned out that the sword was lying peacefully in the hands of a girl under his feet, who held on to it tightly as she slept, with no intention of letting it go.
Fike did not want to start a massacre at all.
He simply wanted to quietly nick the sword and leave.
Seeing this, he thought for a while, but eventually, he shook his head.
He bent down, gently reaching out to take the sword.
As Fike put his hand on the hilt, his fingertips accidentally brushed against the girl’s skin.
Because he had exerted a little too much force, and the girl’s body seemed to react as she let out a soft moan.
Fike did not expect the girl’s body to be so sensitive.
He became a little anxious.
Time passed slowly, minute by minute.
If he could not get the sword and leave as soon as possible, he may lose the opportunity to escape altogether.
Although it was true he had the ability to fight his way out, he would not do so, and he could not do so.
This world had its rules, he could not simply break them.
Just as he was considering his options anxiously, the girl clutching the sword suddenly woke up.
Opening her eyes, she noticed Fike’s hand on her body.
“You... Who are you?”
Fike immediately lunged to cover the girl’s mouth with his hand and stared gravely into her eyes.
“Listen carefully! I’m not here to kill you, understand? I’m not here to kill any of them either!”
The girl looked back into his eyes and nodded. Fike continued.
“I’m just here to take back what I need!
“That is the sword in your hand!
“Give me the sword now, and I’ll leave immediately. I promise I won’t hurt you, okay?”
The girl nodded, her eyes filled with fear.
Seeing this, Fike continued.
“I’ll count down from three. If you give me the sword, I’ll leave.
“Three!
“Two!
“One!”
The moment the girl handed the sword over to Fike, he turned a small portion of the air at his fingertips into Sword Qi and gently struck the girl.
The girl immediately fainted.
As he held the sword in one hand, Fike supported the unconscious girl with the other, and gently lowered her down as he whispered.
“I’m sorry!”
After she was back on the ground, he quickly left the room.
‘I didn’t expect that I would need to be so careful just to get a sword now…’
Suddenly, he saw a familiar figure walking out from the main room of the back courtyard of the palace.
Sano.
Seeing this man, Fike immediately recalled the stone tablet from a few days ago.
‘Yeah... Where did they leave the stone tablet? Why didn’t I see it as I was looking around the palace earlier?
‘But anyway, the mana essence on that stone tablet was an important tool for the people of this world to awaken their magic power.
‘Even if I don’t find it today, others will find it in the future!’
As such, Fike decided to leave immediately after Sano left the area..
‘It’s better to cause less trouble! Let’s go!’
