My Maids are All Antagonists!

The Castle Full of Treasures

With a nervous heart, Faith hesitantly opened another door in the corridor.

It was the same as before.

She had only secretly opened a small gap.

The lesson she learned from before caused her to be afraid that any monster's nest could be behind the door once she opened it.

She might have been lucky just now as there were only gold coins.

If she opened the door and a monster appeared behind it, she wouldn't know how to escape.

Thinking of this possibility, Faith felt a chill down her spine.

This entire place was very strange. It wasn't wrong to be cautious.

Faith carefully opened the door and saw light pouring through the gap.

?

Light?

This made Faith feel slightly relieved.

There was light, which meant that there might be people living here.

But Faith's eyes were still focused and continued to scan the surroundings.

This room seemed to be made of stone.

There were no decorations around, only walls.

It was different from the previous huge nest room; the walls of this room were lit by torches.

But because the lights were too dim, only a few things could barely be seen.

There were also some unclear light sources scattered around.

Faith observed for a while.

Upon being certain that no one was inside, she carefully opened the door.

She had just seen wonders like the Sea of Gold Coins, the Magic Core Mountain, and the Purple Gold Coins.

Regardless of what she might see next, she would not be as surprised anymore.

That was what she thought before stepping into the room.

Upon entering the place, the torches suddenly lit up one by one, as if to welcome its owner.

This caused Faith to jump with fright.

Unlike the huge nest before, this room was vertical.

After opening the door, only one path could be taken through the room, and that was to walk straight ahead.

From Faith's point of view, there seemed to be an endless corridor ahead.

This...

No matter how dense Faith was, she knew there was something strange about this place, be it the self-lit torches, the endless corridor, or the weird castle structure.

How could there be such a strange place?

Faith wanted to leave. She didn't want to further explore the room.

But just as she was about to leave, she suddenly noticed them, what she thought were torches on the walls.

They seemed a bit strange, more like the feet of animals.

It wasn't because Faith was very knowledgeable, but because she suddenly recalled that there used to be a powerful rank 7 magic beast, the Flame Centipede King, near the country of Langham.

The Flame Centipede King was covered in armor and had thousands of flaming feet.

Everywhere it went, the ground would be blanketed in flames.

Moreover, due to its high defense power and escaping ability, even a rank 8 human warrior might not be able to kill it.

It had also become one of the magic beasts that severely threatened their kingdom's safety.

The king had once gathered the kingdom's elites as he aimed to slay it.

However, it seemed to be very intelligent. Every time the kingdom attempted an attack, it would hide underground.

It was nearly impossible for anyone to attack it unless the beast was the one initiating the fight.

Even her master, Mondo, could not do anything against it.

Several successive expeditions ended with failures to slay it.

Although no damage was taken, they were unable to yield any results.

Just when the kingdom started to run out of ideas to deal with it, the Flame Centipede King suddenly disappeared.

Yes, it did.

It disappeared without any warning.

The kingdom suspected that this was a ruse by the Flame Centipede King.

The purpose was to make them relax their vigilance.

But after careful investigation and verification by Mondo, it was discovered that the Flame Centipede King seemed to have vanished for good.

At the place where it disappeared, there was a huge hole that did not seem to be its nest.

It was more like a battle had broken out there.

Mondo was a little shocked by the power generated that caused the hole's formation.

Even an eighth-rank high-level mage couldn't do this kind of damage by forcefully using a ninth-rank spell.

Hence, Mondo assumed that the Flame Centipede King must have angered a warrior and was slain as a result.

And now, the torches hanging on the walls appeared to look like the feet of the Flame Centipede King.

Faith swallowed her saliva.

The more she looked at these "torches", the more they looked like it.

If those were its feet, then the owner of this place, could it be the powerful warrior who killed the Flame Centipede King?

Thinking of this, Faith suddenly felt a wave of fear.

If this was true, her chances of escaping were very slim.

Faith's mind was a little confused at this moment.

She wanted to leave quickly and end the exploration of that room.

But she remembered that she had seen some unknown luminous objects through the gap of the room.

Faith looked around and noticed some shiny objects near a corner.

Even the most beautiful and mesmerizing gem in her palace was not as clear and transparent as it was.

Faith wanted to pick it up and take some souvenirs with her, but she was astonished to find that the shiny and beautiful things were not beautiful gemstones.

Instead, they were eyeballs!

Faith went forward and carefully analyzed them.

Oh my god!

These seemingly beautiful crystals were all eyeballs of the rank 7 magic beast, Redwood Feather Moth!

It was also a magic beast from the vicinity of the country of Langham and was very deadly.

Due to the destructive power of its powder, the army never succeeded in defeating it.

But just like the Flame Centipede King, it disappeared suddenly and never reappeared.

Subsequently, the country of Langham had investigated several times, but alas, they did not find anything.

Faith looked at the materials that the owner of this place had casually thrown around and was a little puzzled.

How did the body parts of these two magic beasts appear here?

And judging from their usage as mere decorations, the importance of these two magic beasts did not seem to be very high in the eyes of its owner.

The flame feet of the Flame Centipede was a key material that could be used to synthesize a rank 7 explosive potion, while the high-level meditation potion made from the eyeballs of the Redwood Feather Moth could increase a mage's meditation efficiency by 200%.

As for high-level mages, it could increase their meditation efficiency by more than 100%.

Whether it was for trade or self-synthesis, they were all precious materials.

The national treasury of Langham did not even have treasures like these, yet they could be found everywhere here?

The owner of this place even hung these materials on the walls as torches.

Wasn't this very wasteful of them?
