"Your Highness!"

"Looks like we can save ourselves some trouble this time."

Najendan nodded.

Muka lay face up in the mud, with something hanging around his waist.

"That should be the key to the secret vault..."

Najendan whispered.

Anything that survives such intense combat is extraordinary; ordinary keys cannot achieve this level of sturdiness.

Even the most renowned Greatsword might not be able to withstand the embers of fireflies without melting, so this strange key must be extraordinary.

Chapter 217: A Great Harvest! An Unexpected Treasure Trove!

"Seele~"

"I'm counting on you again!"

With her built-in map and radar, this girl is an absolute pro at finding things!

"Do not worry!"

"There won't be any problem!"

Seele patted her chest, which trembled slightly.

"Ah."

"The strongest one has been taken care of..."

"Totonia is a toothless tiger now. There's no need to kill it indiscriminately if it's not necessary."

Locke nodded.

"This time, consider it interest collected previously!"

A cold glint flashed in his eyes.

Totonia was also part of the effort to put pressure on the Noxian Empire, though perhaps more like a figurehead or a figurehead than someone who coveted Bailey, simply trying to avoid standing out and remain hidden...

However, the pressure exerted through platform endorsements is an undeniable fact!

When the snow mountain collapses, no snowflake is innocent. Locke just happened to need a large number of Devil Fruits to improve his strength, so what a coincidence! He simply swept his little hand and began the cleanup!

27--

"Oops..."

"How boring, Your Highness. Why haven't Seele and the others returned yet?"

Leone was idly playing with his fingers.

Akame, sitting on the stone with a duck-like posture, had an extremely low presence and didn't seem like someone you could play with. So I hopped over and rubbed against Locke for a while.

"Well!"

"We've been here for so long, and no one has noticed anything amiss?"

"Not a single person is even watching. These guys are far too lax in their vigilance! We Noxus can't be like this, so complacent! Far too complacent!"

Leone criticized indignantly.

If Locke hadn't known her personality well, he might have been fooled by her.

"I think you're just itching to get your hands dirty. Nobody's coming over, and you can't find anyone to take action against, so you're just unhappy!"

Locke saw right through someone's little scheme.

"How come~"

"Absolutely not!"

"..."

Leone's opening statement was a triple denial, making her motives even more suspicious!

Small, rolling eyes.

She has already betrayed herself.

Locke smiled faintly, but remained silent, knowing what was going on.

He simply reached out his hand.

He ruffled Leone's hair.

Its fluffy golden hair is soft and warm, and it feels incredibly comfortable to pet, like being licked by a kitten – an indescribable feeling of comfort.

Ok……

It's the kind of thing that's somewhat addictive.

and.

Animal-eared girls are indeed quite cute.

"Your Highness~"

"We're outdoors...we haven't even gone back to our rooms yet..."

A faint, mosquito-like voice rang in her ears, and even the usually bold and generous Leone blushed, a rare sight.

Locke gently comforted him.

I was just thinking of going a little deeper into it.

suddenly,

The ear twitched.

Is there any movement?

Locke raised an eyebrow and, with Leone in his arms, looked towards the spring.

hum~

Ripples spread across the calm space.

A massive number of particles leaped out of the void and recombined, instantly transforming back into a cute five-headed girl.

Behind them were Najenda and Seele, who had returned.

They were already used to Locke and Leone's appearance and treated them as usual.

He walked in quickly.

His face showed a hint of joy.

"Ok?"

"Looks like this was a good haul!"

Locke spoke with a smile, his voice tinged with delight. Judging from the expressions on Najenda and the others' faces, they couldn't possibly have come away empty-handed.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

"It's all thanks to Seele's X-ray vision. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to find those guys' hidden vaults in such a short time... Besides the public treasury... there's another one deep underground, a vault that even the royal family doesn't know about. They're really careful."

Najendan shook her head.

but!

No matter how cunning they are, they can't compare to the uniqueness of God's creations.

It cannot be hidden.

That's all I can do, just get instantly killed by map hacks and muddle through life.

"Lord, Lord."

"I only did something insignificant, it's all thanks to the powerful Imperial Arms bestowed upon me by Your Majesty."

Seele scratched her head.

The shy girl with glasses had a slight blush on her face.

This posture...

She's shy!

"Fifty billion Berries!"

"There are countless jewels, as well as a large amount of gold and meteorite iron, which are very valuable for forging weapons and trading!"

"Devil Fruits—two!"

"And this is merely the public treasure trove of the Totonian royal family!"

Najendan smacked her lips.

Even though she had seen plenty of wealthy people, she couldn't help but be amazed when she saw Totonia's luxurious treasury. This was the amount after she had just paid protection money and before the quarter's income had even been deposited into the treasury.

Even in their poorest times, they already had so much money, which is enough to easily surpass a group of wealthy empires. No wonder they are a country that sells fresh water and controls the pillar industry of the sea.
