Chapter 90: 91: Towards the Treasury!

Aspen felt icy killing intent from behind and a sharp blade edge on the back of her neck. She wanted to release the aura of her cultivation base but felt a plateau-like pressure from behind!

"I seem you don't want your life." That cold voice rang again. "So be it."

Aspen's heart turns cold because she knew the other party was not kidding around anymore and that sharp cold blade began to press on her neck!

Now, she knew that person behind her is far more powerful than her and she will definitely die if that blade moves.

"D-don't, d…don't!" Aspen panic and in the end submitted helplessly, "I surrender!" 

The blade didn't move anymore as the voice command again, "Nice choice. Let's go inside the library."

Aspen knew she had offended this guy somehow as she slowly enter the library with an ugly yet frightened face and resentfully thought. 'Just which bastard isn't afraid of luminous kingdom?!'

The voice owner was obviously Ace. This was his grand plan of entering the library without requiring to use the invisible bead by simply taking Aspen as a hostage. 

And it worked quite well since this hag didn't take her job seriously and was carefree as a chicken, this was bound to happen. 

Besides Ace wanted her space ring but he can't open it without killing Aspen. This thought was quite alluring but he didn't since he need someone to spread his fame!

Ace knew she would choose life over death and no one would even come to this place easily, this gave him all the night to do whatever he wanted to do. 

After all, who dare to steal from the kingdom like Luminous, right?

As Ace and Aspen enter the library with Aspen in front, the door was closed.

Ace didn't show her his face and coolly said, "Give me your storage ring with Qi Mark removed of course."

Aspen's face fell hearing this, all these years she was the one who was robbing the other no other way around. 

But this bastard dared to demand her whole storage ring without leaving her anything, even she wasn't this cruel. In her frustration, it didn't even occur to her mind that this thief knows about storage rings and qi marks. 

"W-we can talk about it…" But the blade started to press again before she could complete her sentence. "Fine… you win!" 

Aspen skeptically removed her precious storage ring from her finger with a quivering hand and removed Qi Mark with it. Before she could give it to that scoundrel thief it vanished!

"Hmm, nice ring." Ace was ecstatic holding Aspen's storage ring in his hand. 

===

"[Pick Pocket succeed]

[Rewards: 200 Thief Points]

[Thief Point(s): 1245]

This made Ace even more pleased, "Since you comply with my requests so splendidly, I'll spare your little life."

Aspen was quite shocked when her ring disappeared without even her noticing, but when she heard that taunting voice she grits her teeth so hard as her jaw was on the verge of injury. 

She never hated someone so much in her life before, but alas she was just so weak that she can't even see that person's face. 

Aspen thought that this thief will leave after taking her storage ring and at that time she will go directly to the prince manor to report her grievance to the grand prince and hunt this bastard down. And she was quite confident in doing it.

Because of the formation plate inside the storage ring! That formation plate was after all the key to this library formation and Grand Prince has a way to locate it that's why she wasn't worried about it being stolen. 

Even if Aspen loses her position after reporting this but she will take this thief down who stole everything from her! 

Aspen was fantasying about how she's going to enjoy whipping this bastard after finding him when he speaks again, "Where are the treasuries hidden?" 

She was shocked hearing this because this question means this thief wanted to rob the entire library and somehow know about the existence of the treasury!

If that was really the case then this guy was the biggest retard in her eyes, "You wanted to rob from the Luminous Kingdom?"

Ace nonchalantly said, "So what if I did? Just speak I don't have time to waste." 

Now that he has the formation plate he can simply search the upper floors but this will take some time and he didn't want to take risks. He was speaking arrogantly but his soul sense was working at its peak. 

If he found any suspicious movements, he will make her lock the entire place down. All these formations were not just for show. It was another story this hag didn't use them to see the outside of the library and came out like an idiot in her anger.

Aspen sneered, "Don't go ahead of yourself, because even I can't open the treasury, only Grand Prince can." 

She couldn't help but think this guy has some screw loss and believed it the next moment since only an idiot would dare to rob her and think about stealing from the Luminous Kingdom.

"Are you speaking or not?" Ace was quite annoyed now. 

Even he knew that Grand Prince would not give the likes of her the method to open the treasury. He can't deal with all these annoying formations but when it came to locks as long as they were not graded one, it was his bread and butter with treasure-opening hands.

'Certainly a retard!' Aspen assumed, "Just go on the last floor and the treasury is behind the only shelf there." 

Since he wanted to die this bad Aspen was happy to comply. That treasury has an alarm formation that will go off when someone touched the lock formation without the key!

Once that alarm goes off Dion would be alert at that moment because he has the Key and this guy would be dead! A sly smile creeped out her face unknowingly. 

Ace felt Aspen's mood lighten a bit but he didn't know why because he could tell this hag was telling the right position of the treasury, "And where is the second treasury?" 

Aspen was astonished and said confusingly, "What second? There is only one treasury here."

Ace frowned because from her soul fluctuations Aspen was telling the truth but he believed the system scouting ability more. 'Did that Grand Prince hide the second treasury from others?'

He soon nodded his head because it was the only feasible explanation.

Now that Aspen has told him about everything he wanted to know he didn't need her anymore and knock her unconscious.

Ace take out the same formation plate from Aspen's storage ring that was entirely green with mysterious patterns engrave all over it. 

The moment he touched the formation plate,

"[Did host want the information about how to control this formation plate for 5 Thief Points?]" 

'I didn't hear this notification last time I got the information about Dulce's formation plate.' Ace was surprised but still said, "Yes."

He didn't hear it because the system simply didn't ask for it.

Just like always, foreign information begin to drill in Ace's brain but he didn't feel a thing. 

After ten seconds Ace's eyes were shimmering with excitement, 'I wonder if I can learn this Rune Crafting one day.' He thought ecstatically, he was quite moved by this rune crafting after seeing what can all these mysterious formations do. 

But it wasn't the time to awed by it, Ace pours Qi in the formation and the stairway to the upper floors emerges just like he witnesses in the morning. 

Ace step on the stairway and reached the first floor. He didn't stop, with the formation plate twinkling in his hand he easily reached the second floor. 

On the second floor, there were only three bookshelves, Ace did want to read these books since they were on the second floor and protected by the formation, they had to be precious.

Ace simply store the whole bookshelves insides his thief's space and move to the third floor. 

On the third floor were only two old-looking three meters tall bookshelves that has old and dust-filled, books. 

Ace didn't fret as he store them inside the thief's space. He didn't know even Bill can't enter this floor because these books hold some astonishing secrets about low and middle lands and only the Grand Prince can learn them. 

From here there was no stairway upwards as if the third floor was the last floor of the library. But Ace knew better than anyone that all this was just a façade because he had the formation plate. 

Ace pour more Qi inside the formation plate as it begins to shine brilliantly. 

The next moment an old stairway appeared out of nowhere that leads to the final floor of the library.

This is also the very floor where the Treasury of the Luminous City was hidden!
