Chapter 1738: Chapter 528: How to Relieve Worry, Get Rich by Robbery!

"Oh, how interesting. This is actually an ’Ancient Craft Magic Vault Door’."

Leonard Churchill stopped two demon-breaking crossbow arrows that were just fired at his face with one hand.

The three of them had just walked onto this land when they triggered the mechanism.

These two crossbow arrows are enough to kill most intruders.

But for the trio who were prepared, it had no impact at all.

Not only was Leonard not startled by the mechanism, but he also had an expression of great interest on his face, and he said: "This is a relic from the Altranc era, the forging technology has already been lost, I did not expect to see it here. It must have been dug out from some noble’s tomb. Tsk, what a fine item... Just in terms of rarity, it could even be more valuable than some Level 5 Relics."

"Oh?"

Sophia Jones only realized how rare the door with its complex magic runes was after Leonard’s explanation.

Her eyes sparkled with anticipation.

Fearing other traps, Leonard did not dare to act rashly and pondered, "It’s a triple-encrypted high-grade magic lock. Biometric recognition, voice and password... one wrong move and it’ll trigger the lockdown mechanism. Tsk, impressive... the craft is indeed as advanced as described in the classic books."

He stood in place and observed for a moment, becoming more and more excited.

Previously, he had only guessed that the chief of the "Forty Thieves" would have quite a collection of treasures in his hoard, but he wasn’t certain until he saw it with his own eyes.

Now looking at the magic door of the vault, he was sure there had to be a supreme treasure inside!

If he wasn’t in a hurry, he would really be interested in studying how to break through this magic door.

But time waits for no one.

Leonard signalled to Ivan, and in the blink of an eye, a twisted space appeared at the entrance.

This magic door indeed had a space interference restriction, at least Leonard’s current level of Space Law comprehension was not enough to break such a restriction.

But for Ivan, it was just a piece of cake.

Once the space door opened, the scene inside the vault came into view.

The trio hadn’t even entered when they were stunned by the luxurious museum-like scene in front of them.

Even though Leonard had seen a lot in his lifetime, he couldn’t help but exclaim, "This guy is really a great collector..."

...

Most thieves are collectors.

Stealing so much, they can’t use it all, and many items can’t be exposed, so they must find some enjoyment for themselves.

Eventually, almost all of them become collectors.

And since thieves deal with treasures all the time, they unknowingly become experts after studying them for long.

So, having a private treasure vault is almost a given.

When Leonard previously guessed that the leader of the "Forty Thieves" was Count Misty Mountain Rostov, he suspected that this guy might be a collector.

He just didn’t expect that the guy had such a high standard in the realm of collecting.

Magic lamps inlaid with dazzling gemstones lit up the entire glittering golden vault, where various piles of jewelry, gold and silver sparkled with a fantastical and mysterious splendor under the light.

The trio walked into the vault and their expressions were priceless as they looked around the huge hall that spanned over a thousand square meters.

Gold and silver treasures seemed like the least valuable items in the vault, carelessly piled up in the corners.

The premium collections were like in a museum, covered with glass domes.

Well preserved and conveniently displayed for appreciation.

Leonard glanced over and was dazzled by the ancient relics laden with the heavy marks of time.

Items like the [Azibek’s Cursed Dagger], [Aladdin’s Curse Lamp], [The Magic Carpet of King Solomon], [Lanling King’s Life-Gambling Dice], [Dagda’s Magic Pot], [Pharaoh’s Golden Poison Snake Staff], [Undead Heavenly Book Iron Scroll· Volume Three]...

Each of these items was priceless.

And each had a significant history.

Leonard had seen the origin of almost every item in the classic books and Bounty Guild wanted posters he had read before.

Some of them were collections he had seen previously at the Royal Academy.

All these were treasures robbed by the "Forty Thieves."

In addition to these visible treasures, there were a massive number stored in boxes, too many to be displayed.

Each was a masterpiece.

"These are really fine items..."

Leonard’s eyes were almost dazzled by the radiant treasures in the room.

"Hmm."

Sophia Jones’s eyes also could not hide the delight within them.

It must be said that Count Misty Mountain’s taste and standards were very high.

Not like the cluttered storerooms of ordinary thieves, disorderly and dirty.

His treasure vault, with its various designs, had a high artistic component.

The items were categorized according to value and preferences, setting out a clear hierarchy.

The magical and powerful ancient relics in these glass cabinets were worth a fortune on the market.

Although most relics require a certain Professional Sequence and Leonard could not use them, no one would complain about having too many treasures.

Now, these items were about to change hands.

...

The items all had to be moved, and there was no rush to examine them closely.

Leonard walked over and took a look at the shelves filled with books.

This look, yet again, brought him a pleasant surprise.

For a collector... Transcendent Scriptures are definitely a very important part of the collection.

Those worth displaying on shelves were all rare classic books, and they were also clearly categorized.

Martial Skills, Spells, Weapons, Breathing Method, Dragon Taming Skill, Spirit Communication Skill...

Leonard casually picked up two books to look at them, at least both were of the Secret Technique level.

Looking at these books, he gestured to Sophia Jones by his side and laughed, "Heh heh, no wonder those members of the Forty Thieves had so many strange and unusual methods; the source lies here..."
