The commotion at the Raging Sun Royal Palace was getting bigger. A large number of high-ranking powerhouses were shuttling back and forth in the sky, scanning every inch of the palace with their mighty spiritual power.
Zhong Feng instantly realized that his current situation was extremely dire.
These people were probably looking for him!
His actions in the study must have been exposed, causing the Skuru people to search for him over a wide area.
The archives were a key area of the entire palace, and there would soon be people coming to search. Therefore, he had to leave before the search team arrived.
However, Zhong Feng wasn’t willing to leave just yet. He still had many things he was looking for that he hadn’t found yet.
With only this letter in hand, he wasn’t 100% sure he could convince the Dragon Race to break with the Skuru people.
He had no time to think, so Zhong Feng gritted his teeth, ready to make a big move!
His current location was the “Dragon Race” section of the archives, and the shelves on the two walls facing him were mostly filled with information about the Dragon Race.
He decided to pull the shelves from these two walls and put them into his Space Ring.
His Space Ring was currently empty, with over 900 cubic spaces available—more than enough for these bookshelves.
Of course, he wouldn’t store only information about the Dragon Race.
If he only took the Dragon Race’s information, wouldn’t that tell the Skuru people the purpose of his break-in?
In order to mislead the Skuru people, Zhong Feng quickly moved to the “Internal Affairs” section and other sections, stuffing their bookcases into his Space Ring without even looking.
After stuffing seven to eight bookshelves, he did not linger. He quickly transformed into his [Eagle Form], shrinking himself to the size of a ping-pong ball.
As a tiny eagle under the enhancement of the [Stealth] skill, he flew out of the window, disappearing into the bright golden sky.
A druid profession is expert at size transformation; they can shrink to the size of a ping-pong ball and grow larger than an elephant.
The small form is suitable for hiding, the large form is suitable for traveling, and moreover, they can use the [Heart of Nature] to communicate with all plants in the palace.
If it weren’t for their lack of the [Lockpicking] skill, the druid profession could be considered an enhanced version of the assassin profession.
…
Three minutes after Zhong Feng left, the archive’s administrators arrived tardily.
Clip-clop…
The heavy sound of boots echoed outside the archive’s doors.
Hum――
The Minister of Palace Affairs pressed his fingerprint, and the archives’ doors automatically opened.
“Xi’er, you go and search area three, Cenning, you go to area two, Chieva, you go to area one… everyone, be careful during the search and don’t miss any spots!”
Before entering the archives, Minister Perl gave instructions to his subordinates.
“Understood!” His subordinates hurriedly nodded in agreement.
But as soon as the archive’s doors opened, they were stunned!
Even from the entrance to the archives, they could clearly see that several large bookshelves inside had disappeared without a trace!
Where once stood bookshelves, there was now an empty space, not a single piece of paper left.
“…”
Minister Perl blacked out and nearly fell over, his heart almost stopping. Thankfully, his quick-witted subordinates caught him in time.
“Quick! Notify His Majesty! The archives have been robbed!” He shouted urgently.
Most of the documents in the archive are classified, and even with the Skuru people’s technology, most documents can be digitized. The reason why these paper documents are stored in the archive is that these classified documents cannot be publicly accessible online.
Now, the entire archive had been silently robbed, and his political career was completely over!
…
The news of “Archives robbed, large number of secret files missing” quickly reached Emperor Manina and the high-ranking powerhouses who were searching.
Manina was furious and the high-ranking powerhouses began to converge towards this location.
By the time a furious Manina arrived at the archives, quite a few high-ranking powerhouses had already gathered.
“Honorable Emperor His Majesty!” Seeing Manina’s arrival, the ministers and high-ranking powerhouses present all knelt and saluted him.
“At ease.” Manina waved his hand absently, then fixed his gaze onto the trembling Minister Perl, who was kneeling amidst the crowd: “Perl, what the hell happened?”
“Your Majesty.” Minister Perl stuttered: “As soon as I received the notice, I brought my subordinates here to check whether the archives had been invaded.
But as soon as we entered, we found several bookshelves had vanished! It must have been that intruder’s doing!”
“How much data was lost?” Adjusting his furious gaze towards his incompetent subordinates, Manina seemed ready to kick them all to death.
“Eight large bookshelves are missing, amounting to a loss of over 64,000 documents.” Perl answered, shaking.
He stole a glance at his Majesty and saw that Manina’s facial expression was getting darker, his anger spreading and distorting the space around him for several metres.
Perl knew that if he didn’t say something to amend the situation, it wouldn’t just be his political career at risk—he might not even save his life!
So he quickly shouted, “Your Majesty, we also discovered some good news. Judging from the traces left behind by the moved bookshelves, the intruder must have left only about five minutes ago. This means that the person must still be inside the palace!”
“Hmm!” Manina no longer looked at this cowardly subordinate, instead turning to the ministers and the high-ranking powerhouses: “Search carefully! Don’t miss any corner within a three-kilometer radius from the archives!
If anyone can find this intruder, I will immediately grant them the title of ‘Count’!”
Hearing Manina’s words, the eyes of the high-ranking powerhouses present lit up.
The title of “Count” holds great value in the Raging Sun Empire, which still operates on a monarchy system. Regular Sixth-rank powerhouses are only given the title of Viscount, and only Seventh-rank powerhouses can get the title of Count, which is an unparalleled honor!
“By your command!” The high-ranking powerhouses present simultaneously answered, their loud voices soaring to the sky.
…
The scene then shifts back to Zhong Feng.
After leaving the archives, he directly flew towards the Imperial Garden located at the rear of the palace.
Emperor Manina kept many wild animals and pets in the Imperial Garden. Zhong Feng thought that blending in with these animals and pets would decrease the chances of him getting detected.
And this is what he did.
Upon entering the Imperial Garden, he mixed in with a flock of blue and white birds while using his [Stealth] state, perching on a branch unmovingly.
During this time, Skuru powerhouses passed by, scanning the environment with their spiritual power. A Seventh-rank powerhouse’s spiritual power even brushed past Zhong Feng directly.
But because the bird flock’s presence was too complex, it was almost impossible to discern whether there was a human hiding amongst them, thus providing Zhong Feng good protection.
Zhong Feng stood quietly on the tree branch for half an hour.
Seven or eight groups of Skuru people passed overhead, but none detected his presence.
