Nobilis of War novel Chapter 1291

Without an obstacle in sight, Darren and Murphy waltzed into the castle with ease.

However, they still hid their auras, afraid of being discovered by the Gambling King's god's sense.

"What is this place?"

Darren asked when a guard led them before a large iron gate.

"Sir, this is Maxwell's treasure house."

"Treasure house? Are you saying lots of precious treasures lie within it? How on earth would we be able to get in there?" Darren said, frowning deeply.

"Don't worry, sir. Maxwell never locks this treasure house. He's so conceited that he thinks no one would dare go in to try and take anything," the guard replied with a slight shrug.

"Really?" The eyes of both Darren and Murphy lit up simultaneously.

"Open it!"

"Yes, sir."

Without further ado, the guard opened the large iron gate. Darren and Murphy cautiously entered the treasure house.

The interior was quite big, its walls lined with fine cabinets.

"Huh!" Darren exclaimed in awe. "So many superior Divine Essence Stones!" At the center of the treasure house lay at least fifty thousand kilograms of Divine Essence Stones.

"Take them!" Murphy urged. Without hesitation, Darren triggered the Space Ring and stored the Divine Essence Stones in it.

"These weapons are also good," Murphy said, studying the contents of one of the cabinets by the wall. "They are all at level eight!" Hundreds of level-eight divine weapons were displayed there. Eyeing them hungrily, Darren took them all without skipping a beat.

Besides those, there were also some magic herbs and elixirs, which Darren also collected next.

"Sir, if I may say," the guard interjected politely. "These are nothing. The most precious ones are in that cabinet." He pointed at a large red cabinet at the end of the hall.

"What's in it?" Darren asked suspiciously.

"Divine patterns," the guard answered bluntly.

"Great!"

Without even thinking, Darren rushed over to the big red cabinet and flung its heavy doors open.

The next moment, he was stunned by what he saw.

There were at least two thousand complete divine pattern crystals in this cabinet!

"The weakest ones are at level-four, while most of them are at the fifth or sixth levels..." Darren muttered under his breath after studying them carefully.

There were eighteen level-seven divine patterns and one at level-nine!

"A level-nine divine pattern!" Murphy exclaimed, also shocked. He could not help but take a deep gulp as he eyed the level-nine divine pattern greedily. A level-nine divine pattern was indeed a very rare treasure in the world.

"Darren, take them!" he urged.

Darren did not hesitate. In the blink of an eye, he stored all the divine patterns into his Space Ring.

They left no cabinet unopened, no stone unturned until they collected all the treasures. Only then did they take their leave.

Meanwhile, on the top floor of the castle, the Gambling King sipped wine from his glass, totally oblivious as to what was happening downstairs.

"Is there any sort of underground jail in this castle?" Darren asked the guard after they left the treasure house.

"Yes, sir. But the guy guarding it is absolutely terrifying. With Master Murphy's strength, you might be able to subdue him, but then Maxwell would definitely find out you're here," the guard answered seriously.

Things were getting tricky.

"Sir," the guard said after a while. "You have already obtained Maxwell's priceless treasures. Why not just stop here?"

"We came here to rescue someone," Darren said. "Obtaining the treasures was never our main purpose."

"Oh, I remember that my cousin, who is Maxwell's personal guard, mentioned to me that Maxwell said that he was going to kidnap someone important for a lot of money." The guard paused. "Do you think that has anything to do with the person you're trying to rescue, sir?"

"Hmm..." Darren's mind raced.

"Master Murphy," Darren said after a while, once he'd connected the dots. "I think the reason why Maxwell kidnapped Miss Freda was because he wanted you to make up for the killing points he lost that day."

"That's highly possible." Murphy nodded in agreement.

"If that truly is the case, then things will be much easier. After all, we have a lot of treasures to 'compensate' him with right now, don't we?" Darren smiled mischievously.
