Looting the Royal treasury

"So you want to tell me why you killed those kids?" Sylvie asked. She poured alchol from her small pouch onto his ear which was sewn back on.

Haider gasped and winced in pain as the cold alchol hit his ear. "Here, take a sip." Sylvie handed Haider the pouch and he took a swing from it. He had only tried alchol once and he did not like it. The alchol numbed his pain.

"I did not kill them, it was that man." Haider replied.

"Don't lie to me, I can smell their blood on you, my nose never lies."

"I did not kill them."

Haider let out a series of shout of pains after Sylvie grabbed his injured ear. "If your not going to answer me then you will just have to pay the consequences."

"OKAY, OKAY, LET GO!" Sylvie let go of his ear and waited for his explanation.

"I hated them, that's the reason why I killed them, no to even say I hated them would be an understatement, you have no idea just how much I despise and abhor them."

Sylvie put the cap on the pouch and placed it in her breast pocket. "And why do you hate them?"

"They have made my life a living hell that's why, my once peaceful life in which I was on no one's radar has been turned upside down. I am now on every racist bastards radar who look for a reason to get at me."

Sylvie stared at the kid with eyes of understanding. "I understand, one of the people I travel with is so annoying and entitled that i have wet dreams about killing her..."

"How was he?" Sylvie asked.

"Who?"

"The man you fought. How strong was he? I can sense you have a highly abnormal amount of mana reserves which means that if he easily defeated you then he is pretty strong. But just how strong I'm not sure."

Haider held his ear which aching. His hearing was quite weak in it but he heard her and he was confused.

"Why do you ask?" Haider's question was only met with Sylvie's confused face.

"Why? To fight him of course."

"Only 2 of you left, congratulations!" Dan shouted as he raised his hands in jubilee. "Now the person who answers my question the first will leave hear with their lifes intact, are you ready?"

No one answered Dan as the two maids were too scared to answer. All they could do was nod their heads. They knew he was just trolling them and having fun but they could do nothing about it.

Earlier on he showed mercy to a pregnant woman but it turned out to be a trap. Her legs and arms were cut of as she bled to death in the corridor.

It's not like they had a choice, they could only hope that Dan was telling the truth and would let them go.

"Do you know where the king and queen are?"

The two nodded their heads as soon as Dan asked the question.

"What about the treasury?"

The two nodded their head once again.

"Very well then, if you lead me to the treasury and then the oaf and that hag of a wife of his, then I shall let you live. Come on lead the way."

Dan followed the two woman who were shivering and walking slowly. He lit a cigarette and spoke to them. "Speed up!"

The two maids led Dan to a giant room with a giant golden door. If someone wanted to open it then they would need at least 4 horses and 12 men.

"So this is where all the treasure is?"

For the first time he heard a reply from the woman. "Yes. The door is automatic and can only be opened by the ki-"

BOOOM!

CLUUUUNK!

The maids could not believe their eyes. It wasn't the treasure and mountain of gold that shocked them but the fact that the colossal door was kicked down with a sigle kick.

Dan whistled as he was almost blinded by the treasure. There were rugs, gold, minerals, vases full of wine, rare rocks, paintings, shrunken human heads and even skeletons of creatures that Dan had never seen that were put on display.

Dan turned around to face the maid and saw one of the maids running in the opposite direction.

He removed his dagger and through it at her. It stabbed her in her heart killing her instantly. Dan recalled for the dagger and walked up to the other maid. She was looking at the ground trying her best not to make eye contact with Dan. Dan could smell the urine, sweat and blood on her.

"Why didn't you run as well?"

"Nowhere... to... go... can't... move!"

Dan put his hand around her shoulder. "Congratulations, you won... just wait for a bit, while I take all this."

Dan took everything and stored it in his inventory. The gold, the diamonds, emeralds, ruby's. There were plenty of mana stones which he pocketed.

The earings, necklaces and bracelets were stored in to his inventory. The fur rugs and carpets.

An object caught Dan's eye. He scanned it and read the information.

➡️ Cloud of recovery pill

➡️ Increases Erui accumulation rate by 15%

➡️ Strengthens meridians by 34% to allow for more efficient Erui accumulation.

Dan looked at the other items.

➡️ Simple Poison

➡️ Powerful poison created using the corruption of a newly born child's Erui.

"I have no idea what Erui is but that is dark!"

➡️ Strengthening pill.

➡️ Increases strength by three fold for 40 minutes.

➡️ Side effects include: Lack of energy and stamina, lethargy, dehydration, crippling pain, terrible headaches, nausea, blurry vision, ringing in ear.

Dan sighed and read the description of all the other serums in bottles and pills.

After reading all of them he stored them all in his inventory except for one pill. There were 8 pills and 14 serums.

Dan held the pill in front of the maid and told her to eat it. The maid did as she was told.

She let out a screech for several minutes thrashing on the ground in pain before stopping.

"Let's go, show me where they are and you can leave." Dan said.

The pill he had given the lady was a mana reserves enhancer. It wasn't the same as a mana stone. Mana stones came from dragons and they increased a person's mana reserves by at least several tens of folds while a mana reserves enhancer slowly increased the mana reserves over a period of time.

Another difference was that it increased the mana reserves by at most 5 times. Despite that it was still rare and expensive but not as much as a mana stone.

The maid led Dan to the king and queens bedroom which was located on the far most side of the palace. It was strategically placed there in case some one broke in they would be at the back like a king and queen on a chess board.

"Where are they?" Dan asked the maid.

"There... is a hidden... door somewhere... in here." The maid felt different. She could feel strength surging up her body. She could feel all the magic objects in the room. She could see the slight glow around them.

"There," she said as she pointed at a mirror in the corner of the room. Had a person walked in normally they would have not noticed the mirror as it was placed in the far corner covered slightly by curtains.

The maid k we she was betraying the royal family and committing treason. She had no intention of dying for two pompous fools who sat on their butt's all day who did not even know she existed.

In the end it just boiled down to whether she wanted to live or die for them. She had dreams and aspirations. When she was younger, she wanted to be a dancer not a maid to a man whose son's sexually abused her and every other person in the palace.

Dan walked up to the mirror and examined it. He smiled as he saw his reflection. He had truly changed a lot since he left home.

"I need a haircut." he mumbled. Dan touched the mirror to get rid of a small black mark. His hand went right through the mirror and onto the other side.

Dan smiled and stuck his head in. He saw a man and a woman sitting on a bed not even noticing him. He removed his head from the mirror and turned to the maid.

"You can leave, go."

The maid did not wait for a second and ran away.

Dan smiled and jumped into the mirror.

These idiots had already prepared their own death rooms.
