The Forbidden Magic Laws of a Fallen Princess

At this moment, she walked to the foot of the noble bed in the distance, then stretched out her hand and placed it on a wooden armrest, and then turned it clockwise with force.

Surprisingly, the bed handle was turned 45 degrees, and then a downward step appeared in an empty space on the ground.

Sure enough, there was a secret room here.

However, the switch to the secret room was actually sitting on the bed... It seems it really is hard to guess.

Furthermore, I couldn't see anything unusual about the room when I entered, which proves that the designer of this secret room must have been a very skilled craftsman.

In the past, TV dramas would often use plates, vases, or antique ornaments as hidden doors, but this is the first time I've seen a hidden door entrance designed with a bed handle.

In other words, the bed must have been permanently embedded in the ground, and it was used to deceive and conceal the whole truth within the room.

If it were up to me to find them... sigh, really, it would probably take several months to find us.

Because there are so many rooms around here.

"Let's go, miss."

"it is good."

So I had her go first, and then I went down into the dark room.

Using the magic stone lamps that were much brighter inside the dark stairwell than in the outside corridor, one could see no end in sight.

Sure enough, the place where the treasure was kept was quite deep.

In other words, if you capture a person or an orc, this place can truly be a hellish place.

Because I felt that even if I shouted until my throat was hoarse, no one would hear me.

We descended about two hundred steps and finally reached the flat ground.

Then, the female thief took out a small pill and threw it at me.

"Ok?"

At this moment, I caught the small pill and asked with a puzzled look.

"This is medicine to prevent unconsciousness. Just take it."

"Uh... I don't have any reason to trust you that much."

Seriously, if this were a sleeping pill, and I took it, I would fall asleep.

When I return and a passing dwarf soldier sees me, well, that means I'm completely done for.

Then I'd be convicted of stealing a huge sapphire and sentenced to death, and hehe, that would be the end of my life.

Hmph, only a fool would eat that!

"Uh... I know a person wouldn't eat it, but..."

He pulled me to a corner and pointed to the distance of the secret room.

I also peeked out and took a look.

Sure enough, there were two dwarf soldiers guarding the place, holding giant axes and hammers.

Seriously, dwarves are much stronger than humans in combat, and these two were definitely specially trained, so even if I were to face them head-on, it would be difficult for me to kill them in one blow.

And this female phantom thief is even more difficult to knock out, with her slender arms and legs.

Therefore, you have to use your brain to get through that door.

The small pill she handed me must be the antidote to her secret medicine; otherwise, why would she be so calm and at ease coming and going?

"Alright, since that's the case, I'll believe you for now. But if you dare to lie to me, and I get a chance to escape, I'll definitely take you down."

As I said that, I extended my fist.

“I…I swear, although I sometimes steal things, I have absolutely no interest in your life, so I have no reason to harm you.”

Although she spoke somewhat haltingly, I could tell she wasn't lying.

So, I lowered my guard and put the little pill in my mouth.

The female thief saw me put a pill in my mouth, and then she took out a pill and put it in her mouth as well.

Then he took out something that looked like incense and placed it on the ground.

Sigh... If you had told me earlier that you would take out two and eat one yourself, I wouldn't have been so wary = = Sure enough, this phantom thief is still too young.

At that moment, she picked up a flint and steel to light the incense, but I stopped her.

Immediately afterwards, I stretched out my finger, and a flame instantly ignited the incense.

When she saw that I could actually use magic, her eyes widened in disbelief.

"What's wrong?"

"N-nothing...it's just that since you know magic, could you do me a favor?"

At this moment, the phantom thief lady asked me for help.

"Why should I help you..."

Honestly, I don't get anything out of it. Helping her would be like playing with fire, and I'm not going to do that.

"Actually, we have the same interests. When you come back, I'll help you get what you want, how about that?"

But she wasn't wrong. We're all here to steal "things," so we're all in the same boat. If that's the case, why don't we help each other?

"Okay, then you have to help me when I need help, is that alright?"

"Ok, no problem."

As she spoke, she extended the hand that wasn't holding the incense stick, and then extended her hand, which was covered by a black cloth glove, to me.

Naturally, I took her hand.

This proves that we have reached a consensus and have temporarily become partners.

I just hope she doesn't turn around and bite me.

However, I'm practically a goddess, you know. If I were to be harmed by an ordinary phantom thief, I'd lose face terribly.

Therefore, I need to be about 30% wary of her. If anything seems amiss, I might just kill her.

Gradually, a particularly fragrant aroma wafted from the incense burner in her hand, and it was very strong and spread very quickly.

She then found a corner and put the incense burner down. Then the thief and I began to observe the two dwarf soldiers' every move.

Chapter 100 Infiltrating the Treasure Vault

After about two or three minutes, perhaps having caught a whiff of the incense, the two dwarf soldiers inexplicably began to yawn.

"Second brother, what's wrong with me today? I feel sleepy again."

"Yeah, that's strange. We just took a nap, so why are we sleepy again? Did we not sleep well during the day?"

At this point, the two dwarf soldiers started chatting.

However, their bodies began to sway, and they started to look somewhat drowsy.

"Never mind... I'll sleep a little longer. I'm so sleepy. Anyway, there's hardly anyone in this godforsaken place, so it shouldn't be a problem to sleep for a while."

As he spoke, the dwarf soldier holding the giant hammer lowered his weapon, leaned back against the wall, and closed his eyes.

"That's true, let's go to sleep. It's been so long since we night shift workers got a raise! Time to sleep."

As he spoke, the dwarf soldier with the giant axe sat down on the ground, rested the axe handle on his shoulder, and closed his eyes to sleep.

After waiting for about five minutes, we heard two snoring sounds, one after the other, so it seemed that they were really asleep.

But this phantom thief lady's medicine really works! We weren't affected at all after taking it, so it seems we really shouldn't doubt her.

Since they're both asleep, we should get started.

We arrived at the metal gate, only to find it tightly closed, and there was no key or anything like that.

So how exactly can I get in?

Without saying a word, the female thief picked up the dagger that had just stabbed me and stabbed it into a tiny, inconspicuous crack in the wall.

Then I forcefully rotated it 360 degrees.

Then, the wall below that small crack suddenly opened, and I could see a very exquisitely crafted tiger head staring straight at us with its gaping maw.

It seems that the mechanism to open the door is this metal tiger head.

Next, the female thief's actions were incredibly sharp and swift.

She raised her free left hand, then extended her index finger and pressed it down firmly into the right eye of the metal tiger head, followed by the left eye.

At that moment, I heard a very crisp "click" sound from inside the metal door, which meant that the mechanism of the metal door should have been released.

She reached out her hands, which were covered in black cloth gloves, and rummaged into the large tiger's mouth.

Then the female thief seemed to have touched something, so she stepped on the wall and pulled hard on what she had touched.

A circular iron ring was pulled out directly.

Then, the iron gate slowly opened from bottom to top.

"Wow, how come this door is so complicated..."
