Shien smiled wryly, and with a step, he disappeared.
When he reappeared, he was already underground beneath the Raifurut residence.
However, Shien wasn’t in the previous underground hall, but in a hidden space.
This place was located deep underground beneath the Raifurut residence and seemed to be protected by a barrier, clearly a very important location.
But now, with the Raifurut family gone, it didn’t matter how important this place was. The barrier was useless, and even if someone touched it, no one would notice.
Shien didn’t bother destroying it, instead using teleportation to pass through it.
Upon entering, Shien was surprised.
“So this is their treasury?”
This place was filled with gold, silver, treasures, just like the warehouse he found in the High Priest’s secret base, and various precious magic tools.
This was undoubtedly the Raifurut family’s treasury.
“Holy moly.”
Shien sighed.
He should have looted this place before leaving.
Fortunately, no one had arrived yet. Otherwise, these treasures would definitely be confiscated by the Empire.
“If I ever annihilate another family, I should remember to loot the place first.”
Shien decided not to miss such an opportunity again.
As an Earl, although not as poor as before, he was still relying on Yulin to make his fortune.
In other words, his personal treasury wasn’t as full as those of these long-established nobles.
In terms of personal wealth, Shien was undoubtedly the poorest among the Earls, even inferior to some Viscounts and Barons.
If there was a chance to enrich his treasury, he naturally wouldn’t miss it.
Thinking of this, Shien couldn’t help but walk towards the treasures.
Just then…
“Swoosh!”
A black shadow suddenly appeared behind Shien, leaping up and approaching from behind.
In its hand, crimson magic power flickered on a blade, bringing a sharp sense of danger.
Undoubtedly, it was the [Magic Sword] skill.
The sudden attacker, wielding [Magic Sword], slashed mercilessly at Shien’s neck.
But just as the [Magic Sword] was about to reach Shien’s neck, he abruptly turned around, reached out, and grabbed the attacker’s arm.
The attacker’s [Magic Sword] stopped before Shien’s neck, their hand tightly grasped by Shien, unable to move.
“…!”
The attacker immediately raised their other hand.
Another blade appeared, also flickering with crimson magic power.
Seeing this, Shien wasn’t surprised but delighted.
“Alright, lass,” Shien said impatiently, “Don’t tell me you’re really planning to murder your husband?”
Hearing these words, the attacker’s blade stopped.
Even the hand grasped by Shien relaxed, and the crimson magic blade on the other blade quickly disappeared.
Silence descended.
The attacker’s appearance was revealed to Shien.
It was a petite girl wielding two blades, wearing a cloak and hood like him.
“…Is that you?”
After a long silence, a familiar, cold voice came from under the girl’s hood.
Shien stared at her.
“Who else could it be?”
Shien couldn’t help but say reproachfully.
Hearing this, the girl finally relaxed.
Shien released her hand.
She immediately sheathed her blades and removed her hood.
A face wearing a half-mask was revealed to Shien.
Her long purple hair was braided and hung down her back, a pleasing sight.
It was Diere.
