Chosen Evolution: I can load the protagonist template

Chapter 221 Is your fruit platter made of gold or silver?
Treasure chest! Ah!!! Treasure chest!!!
Amidst the fierce battle between the two legions... no, the battlefield had become a one-sided pursuit by the Silver Legion of the Knights of the Round Table. Cheng Tian, ​​who had finished assimilating the gem fragments and was spat out of the altar, rode a Primal Wyvern whose nature had changed from "Rock + Fire" back to "Rock + Flying" due to the template being unloaded, and began to speed up his journey towards the Silver Fortress.

At this moment, the "flames" emanating from Cheng's eyes were even more intense than in his Ghost Rider form, highlighting his urgent and impatient state.

Like Moth Cave, the Silver Fortress's looting permission status is a special event that allows for additional benefits. However, as the hint describes, triggering this event is actually quite demanding.

To put it simply, it requires everyone in the Silver Fortress who has the power to control the situation to be either dead or absent for it to be triggered.

The prince's soul was burned away, the chief knight had died early from beheading, the only axe-spear knight who could take the opportunity to lead the remaining legions was still focused on escaping the pursuit of the Knights of the Round Table, and the faction players had entered the main quest failure evacuation mode. The Silver Fortress truly had no one left who could control the overall situation.

Of course, this plundering is only permitted for players in the British faction.

Cheng Tian is the MVP, they are just easy wins.
Compared to his previous cluelessness and tendency to grab whatever he could find, Cheng Tian had a much clearer target for looting within the Silver Fortress: the pile of valuable treasure chests that Eren had personally burned when they encountered each other in the original work.

To other players, these treasure chests are just valuable items that may appreciate or depreciate in value, but to Cheng Tian, ​​they are chests that almost always contain treasures, making them extremely valuable.

Cheng Tian still has two Holy Grail missions to complete. The one for killing enemies doesn't matter, but Green Shock is a must. So Cheng Tian plans to try to explore the kitchen area of ​​the fortress.

It just goes to show that having a flying mount makes all the difference. Cheng Tian flew into the Silver Fortress at a time when his own players hadn't arrived yet and the enemy players had already fled. The guards who were still dutifully on duty had already absconded with the loot.

However, it cannot be said that Cheng Tian is absolutely safe now. After all, even if everyone is running away with the money, there may still be some soldiers or bastards left behind. It can only be said that in Cheng Tian's opinion, the treasures in the fortress are worth the risk.

As Cheng Tian rushed into the Silver Palace through the stone window on the top floor of the castle-like fortress, a prompt popped up.

[You have successfully entered the "Silver Fortress" area. All items in the current area that are eligible to be looted are now in a "lootable" state. You may attempt to loot any item with this status.]

[As a member of the British resistance against the invasion, you were instrumental in defeating "Dual-Sword Knight Balford" and "Silver Prince Allen," becoming a key factor in driving out the Silver Legion. Your looting range has been expanded, and your success rate has significantly increased.]

You have a maximum of 5 looting opportunities. You can loot the same item repeatedly; doing so will cumulatively increase your looting success rate.

As Cheng Tian landed after a forward roll, he activated the Ten Commandments to scan his surroundings. Even though the NPCs and players were still predominantly human, the Ten Commandments' detection capabilities remained outstanding. Cheng Tian did not sense the presence of any other humans in this scene, the same one he used to fight Allen in the original game.

As expected, the treasure chests that Allen had personally burned in the game were not laid out in front of the throne waiting for Cheng to visit.

...Thinking about it, those things shouldn't be left out in the open. While players aren't allowed to take them freely, it's a different story for NPCs. The possibility of them stealing from their own staff is definitely not small.

So, where might the item be? Cheng Tian began to try to find it by tapping and exploring all the raised areas in the hall, based on his experience in castles like Dracula, Zelda, Mario, and Resident Evil. The research ape Utan, which had been on standby, was finally summoned by Cheng Tian, ​​and he searched for it together with the war elephant mammoth that came out with him.

After searching around, they finally settled on the two silver knight statues placed behind the throne.

One of these two items is exactly the same as the Silver Knight statue in Cheng Tian's possession; it is a special treasure with a plunderable status, but the other item does not have such a status.

At first, Cheng Tian didn't realize what was going on and just thought the malfunctioning thing was an ordinary decoration. But now that he understood, he started twisting, pushing, and pulling it, but it wouldn't budge.

This further proves that there is something wrong with it.

In the end, by retrieving the original stone pterosaur and releasing the crimson Tyrannosaurus Rex, they crouched down and used their incredibly agile tails in conjunction with the even more agile trunks of the war elephant mammoths. With the dispensable participation of Cheng Tian and the gorilla, they managed to twist the silver statue little by little to the right. Only after the statue turned 90 degrees did it make a click, and the back of the Silver Prince's wide throne slowly lowered, revealing an open stone door and a dark interior space.

It was only thanks to the fortress's incredible height that these two behemoths could fit.

The stone gate was pitch black, and Cheng Tian didn't rush in. Instead, he first sent the crystal eye inside. Then, with the special vision of light and shadow, Cheng Tian saw the various types of valuables unique to the Knights of the Round Table dungeon piled up inside, ranging from tea sets to treasure chests, and even vegetable and fruit platters wrapped in a crystal-like substance.

It turns out that the mechanism to open Allen's treasure chamber was never hidden. It was simply heavy, with no magic attached, so heavy that no one but the Silver Prince himself could open it.

Without the help of the two giant beasts, Cheng Tian would probably have been working in vain.

程天果断将5次掠夺都用了，而且直接成功了4次，最终到手果盘*1、菜盘*1、茶具*1、财宝箱*1。

The fruit and vegetable platters, which should have been consumables, were placed in the hidden treasure room, which means that Allen also discovered the possibility that special treasures were hidden inside these two items.

In other words, even without Cheng Tian's chaotic cutting technique, these two items that Allen deliberately preserved would have a higher probability of yielding special treasures when cut by ordinary cutting techniques.

However, under Cheng Tian's chaotic ritual, the probability of cutting and shipping becomes 100%.

The vegetable plate yielded a green vibrating orb, the tea set yielded a silver knight statue, and the fruit plate and treasure chest yielded a golden knight statue and an emerald wand, respectively!
