Chapter 943: Armor Troop, Extreme Luxury (Part One)
Fei had found the last treasure warehouse of the Royal Family of Anji, but it was hundreds of meters underground.
There was no tunnel connecting it to the outside world; it seemed like a teleportation array was used to come and go from there.
However, this was not a problem for Fei. He didn’t need to find a tunnel; he could just open a new tunnel underground using his savage physical strength. After he got to the edge of the treasure warehouse, he broke the magic barrier by force and finally got inside.
The scene inside the treasure warehouse wasn’t as flashy and glamorous as Fei had expected; it was quiet and refreshing in here.
This was an underground palace that was more than four acres.
The walls of the palace were engraved with powerful runes, and the stones that were empowered by magic were stronger than steel and had the ability to put the entire palace in stealth. It would be tough for ordinary masters to discover this place. Even if they did, they wouldn’t be able to barge in.
The palace was clean and organized, and magic lights on the walls were bright and could last forever. The orange-yellow light made this place peaceful and beautiful like the sunset.
In the center of the palace, there was a garden that had a fountain in it, directly connecting to the hidden underground water source. Faint magic energy was flashing, and streaks of clear spring water gushed out from underneath. Throughout the greenstone waterways that connected many places, the water flowed through and nurtured the plants in the flowerbeds at the corners of the palace; some flowers were blooming, and it was quite colorful in here. Together with the pleasant sounds of flowing water, the entire palace seemed peaceful and enjoyable; it was as beautiful as a dream.
What surprised Fei was that there was a fully-armed ‘army’ quietly standing in the palace.
It was an ‘army’ comprised of various kinds of armor. There was armor for swordsmen, crossbowmen, tower-shield soldiers, cavaliers, horses…
Except for air force, there was armor for every single type of soldier on the continent.
The designs were delicate, and every single gap was closed, almost covering the entire surface of the human body. They all had masks on them, and these masks had all the facial features of humans. Only a few holes were on the mask; they were on the eyes and the nostrils for seeing and ventilation.
All the armor was placed in the palace, and it looked like a real troop made up of humans stood here; it seemed like murderous spirit filled the place.
“This style of armor is rarely seen on the Azeroth Continent. Also, the full armor where everything is covered doesn’t make much sense; it is not scientific at all since the armor can hardly be used in battle. Why did the Royal Family of Anji create this kind of armor?” Fei was confused.
When he got close to observe, he grabbed a helmet casually, but he instantly felt the weight. This helmet looked to be about five kilograms, but it weighed more than 50 kilograms when Fei grabbed hold of it; this surprised the king.
“Huh? It is made by mystical gold that is super rare. This kind of metal is extremely heavy but have excellent energy conductivity… this kind of mystical gold is usually used to forge combat weapons, and they are rare and expensive; there is a high demand but a lack of supply. Anjians used this material to build armor? This doesn’t make sense! The armor created by mystical gold is heavy and can weigh up to hundreds of kilograms. With the addition of weapons, the entire item set can weigh up to thousands of kilograms. Even if a low-tier Moon-Class Elite were to wear this item set, their movement would be greatly hindered. Right now, there were about 5,000 sets of armor in the palace.
“Why did they create so many sets of armor? Who are they for? Could it be that the Anji Empire has more than 5,000 Moon-Class Elites?”

Fei was even more perplexed after seeing this.
Even a super empire might not be able to send out more than 5,000 Moon-Class Elites. Also, using mystical gold to create simple armor was too luxurious and wasteful; it was like forging ax and hoe from pure gold.
Mystery!
This was a confusing mystery!
Fei carefully observed everything and confirmed his initial observation; this entire ‘troop’ was made from mystical gold.
“Just the armor alone will make many masters and empires on the continent jealous. To accumulate this much mystical gold, even a level 9 empire would have to start stacking hundreds of years ago. The Anji Empire only recently came into power; how did it get so much mystical gold?”
Right now, the king was calling Emperor Kerimov of Anji an idiot and wasteful b*stard.
Creating armor out of mystical gold was too luxurious! It was like a beggar who couldn’t even afford the bare necessities of life using US dollars to wipe his butt! It was frustrating for others!
At this moment, Fei even had the urge to melt down all the armor and re-forge this material into something better.
However, the king was patient, and he continued to observe.
Next, he discovered smaller storage rooms that were connected to this palace from all sides.
In these storage rooms, Fei saw many high-level magic crystals, legendary techniques, hundreds of excellent combat weapons, and some magic devices such as scrolls. If these items flowed to the outside world, they could create bloody fights since many masters would want to get their hands on them. However, they weren’t that attractive in Fei’s eyes.

The Chambord Kingdom’s magic level was increasing by the day. Leaving others aside, the magic items and scrolls produced by Mad Scientists’ Laboratory and the magic weapons and armor forged by Blacksmith Charsi would be treated by others as supreme treasures. Also, all the knowledge contained in [Demon King’s Wisdom] and [Demon King’s Sword] could easily dominate over all the inheritance of the Royal Family of Anji by many levels.
However, these items were better than none; Fei was pleased to accept all these treasures.
With so many resources here, Fei couldn’t store them all within his storage ring. After thinking for a while, he decided to use the portable magic teleportation arrays and get the soldiers on [Black Pearl] and [Cyclops] to move these items onto the two giant Xuan’ge; only those two barges could hold everything here in the palace.
Of course, Fei would personally keep the most important items.
After looking around and putting the most valuable stuff into his storage ring, he quickly got to the back of the palace.
Two giant godly statues at the back of the palace were about 40 meters tall. Each of the godly figures wore a crown, and a dragon coiled around each of them. Right now, they each held a sword in their hands, looking majestic and overbearing. In between these two statues was a high platform. On the ninth-level where it was at the same height as the heads of the two dragons, there was a five-colored crystal throne as if it were for a god to sit there and observe the world. This five-colored crystal throne was the same as that one in the Royal Palace of Anji.
The only difference was that someone sat on this throne.
He was a royal emperor who was wearing a purple royal robe and a golden crown and holding a golden scepter.
In the beginning, Fei didn’t pay attention since this ‘person’ had no aura; he felt the same as the armor that was made of mystical gold and standing in the palace. The king thought that it was a statue that was more meticulously made.
However, Fei soon realized that he was wrong.
This ‘statue’ was a person, but he was dead; that was why there was no aura on him.
Fei flashed forward and got on top of the platform to carefully observe this corpse.
