My Maids are All Antagonists! - Chapter 151: Arrive at the Castle!
This, this…
Ron looked at the materials spread across the floor and felt a little dizzy.
He probably would’ve been less shocked if there were just a few rare materials, but now, materials that were extremely rare in the outside world were strewn across the floor as if they had no value at all.
This exceeded his understanding.
In his understanding, these materials were usually kept in warehouses under strict supervision.
How could they be casually piled outside like this?
Seeing the pile of materials in front of him that piled up to be taller than he was, Ron made calculations in his heart and found that just these materials alone were enough to buy a gold mountain.
How would the Master of the castle be short of money? Wouldn’t he be rich just by selling some random material? Did he seven till need the perfume business?
A big question mark appeared in Ron’s mind at this time.
He did not know that Eddie only had the right to use the materials, not sell them.
Eddie had also said that he wanted to rely on his hard work to become stronger, which everyone could see he was serious about in his daily doings.
If he was a good-for-nothing, the maidservants didn’t mind using the holy items in the Underworld City that weren’t inferior to the holy water of the Holy Sect to help Eddie increase his strength.
However, up until now, Eddie hadn’t encountered any difficulties in his path of cultivation.
Generally speaking, the effects of the holy items were best if used when faced with the first bottleneck in cultivating.
Therefore, it wasn’t that the maidservants were unwilling to help Eddie, it was just that even if they did, they had to take note of their methods in doing so.
They wanted to help him in a more reasonable and ingenious way.
This could also be considered a form of payment for living at Eddie’s place.
While they were busy working away in the castle, the Knight Corps led by Prince Seidan had already arrived at the Forest of Magic Beasts that was the closest to the castle.
“The castle you mentioned is here? I don’t see it.”
Prince Seidan, who was leading the Knight Corps, looked at the surrounding terrain and said.
“Your Highness, you’ll be able to see it after passing through this Forest of Magic Beasts.”
The castle was hidden at the far-in edges of the Forest of Magic Beasts, which was why it didn’t attract much attention.
After all, who would wander around the Forest of Magic Beasts for no reason?
Prince Seidan retracted his gaze and took the lead to ride his horse into the Forest of Magic Beasts.
His men were all wearing bright and beautiful armor, their bodies tall and strong.
The Forest of Magic Beasts near the Imperial Capital only had a few low-rank magic beasts.
For these knights and mages who were at least tier 5, there was no danger at all.
As long as William Family’s Alan didn’t lead them astray, they were getting closer and closer to getting the perfume formula.
On the way, Seidan also inquired about the other party’s details.
He learned that the other party was only a small baron, but this small baron seemed to have an advanced powerhouse by his side.
This piqued Prince Seidan’s interest.
After all, the strongest powerhouse in the Kingdom was only at tier 8.
If an advanced powerhouse were to work for the Kingdom, at the very least, he or she would obtain the noble status of an earl.
But now, there was a powerhouse who chose to become the maidservant of a little baron.
There seemed to be something fishy about this matter.
During the conversation, Seidan did not have any misgivings just because the other party was an advanced powerhouse.
He was the Prince of the Kingdom, and thus also had an advanced powerhouse protecting him.
As he spoke, he inadvertently cast his gaze toward a knight in the Knight Corps who appeared to be very low-key.
This was also the reason why he was confident in suppressing Alan.
Although they were all at the same tier at tier 6, the strength on his side was much stronger than Alan’s.
Alan must have thought of this, which was why he was so cooperative.
However, he was not that kind-hearted.
Alan’s thoughts regarding Seidan were that he wanted the Prince’s Knight Corps and the maidservants in the castle to fight against each other.
After all, in Alan’s heart, no matter how strong the maidservants were, they were still weak in the face of tactics that involved a large number of people.
He believed that when the time came, the other party could only obediently hand over the formula.
And by that time, Lisa should have also informed the William Family, where Family Head Lowe would handle this matter.
With this, even if he failed the mission, he wouldn’t have to bear any responsibility.
After all, on one side was an advanced warrior maid, and the other was Prince Seidan’s team who wanted to intercept them.
He couldn’t afford to provoke any of the two parties, but as long as the water got murky, he still had a chance.
Alan was calculating in his heart.
He watched as everyone walked to the center of the Forest of Magic Beasts.
Here, Prince Seidan saw the tragic state of the Goblin Canyon.
His heart froze for a heartbeat.
How powerful was the destructive power needed to make this place look like this?
It simply did not seem like it could be achieved by human strength.
Moreover, the white bones and dried goblin corpses were still scattered all around.
The entire scene was terrifying and frightening.
Most of those who saw this scene broke out in cold sweat.
“Your Highness, this place feels a little eerie.” One of the mages from the Knight Corps beside Seidan said.
Even though his probing spell didn’t find any danger here, but for something like this to happen near the Imperial Capital, it was definitely not a good sign.
That being said, why didn’t anyone report it?
Were those patrolling people blind?
Compared to the terrifying scene before him, Prince Seidan was angrier at the fact that he hadn’t received any information at all.
If this continued, there might come a day when he wouldn’t even know he was under attack until the enemy came to the city gates.
This was a dereliction of duty!
He decided that he would properly investigate what was going on with those people responsible upon return.
If Ron heard this, he would definitely cry out due to the injustice.
He had long reported the matter of the goblins in the Forest of Magic Beasts being exterminated.
It was just that he had not been taken seriously and his reports were all in his higher-up’s hands, who had never passed on the message.
This matter was really not his fault.
Looking at the discomfort on the faces of the Knight Corps members, Alan pretended to be emotionless and did not make any comments.
In reality, he was delighted in his heart.
He had fallen into this ‘trap’ before, so he had decided to let them all have a taste of it.
It could be said that he gained some pleasure from revenge.
Seidan did not stay here for long.
He left a knight to sketch the place.
Then, he kept the news in his mind.
When the next court meeting was held, he would talk about this matter properly.
They passed through the Forest of Magic Beasts, and they finally saw Eddie’s iconic small castle.
However, the Prince’s eyes seemed to be blank before being filled with contempt.
“This is a castle? You’re calling this a castle?”
Alan naturally knew that now was not the time to argue with Seidan.
He could not wait to see Seidan fight with the maidservant.
He immediately replied, “That’s right, this is the castle of the owner of the perfume formula. Don’t just judge the castle from its appearance, it may not seem much, but not only is there a genius mage here, but there is also an advanced powerhouse here.”
“Genius mage? Hahahaha, can there be a genius as my sister?” Seidan seemed to be somewhat disdainful.
In the entire Kingdom, even the tier 8 mage Mondo acknowledged his sister Faith’s magic talent.
There was a genius here?
Well, He was going to meet this genius today!
