I, Who am Pampered by the Great Dragon, Shock the Magical World Novel - Chapter 68

An inexplicable wave rippled from his heart and gradually turned into an enormous wave, surging up to the high ground. He only wanted to do one thing now – to kill Bob, who should not exist in this world.

However, something crossed his mind, and he eventually held back his thought. It would be too comfortable for Bob if Sade were to kill him directly. Hence, he decided to let Bob feel that helpless despair.

Yes! Wipe all of Bob’s privilege out, abolish his power, and expose his evil deeds. Hand him over to the people who he persecuted. Sade believed that only those who hated him would use the cruelest method to make him die in agony!

Not only Bob but Sade could also conclude that the minister was not a good person based on what he had just said. Although Sade did not know why the minister would hand Philomena over to the Third Prince, it was certainly not for a good reason!

What Sade needed to do now was investigate everything and take them down, then finally help Philomena save her mother. Then, he would hand everything to Philomena. After all, this was her family matter. It was better to let her family handle it on their own.

As for Philomena, Sade had lived with her for three years. It would be a lie to say that there was no friendship between them. Now that Philomena was in such a difficult situation, he couldn’t neglect her.

Sade, who had made up his mind, directly opened the hidden compartment and took the box containing the antidote. Just as he put the exquisite box into his Interspatial Ring, Sade suddenly found a strange keyhole in the hidden compartment. The keyhole had a unique position. It was an exceptional lock.

After looking around, Sade was surprised to find that the hidden compartment was in the middle of a secret door, “It’s a secret door!” The hidden compartment was a safe, and the keyhole was used to open the secret door.

‘What was behind the secret door? A secret room? Why would someone set up a secret room in the hall of his home? Strange…’ Sade touched the edge of the keyhole, wondering if any other mechanisms could open the secret door, but he found nothing.

With doubts in his heart, he directly used his spiritual power to detect all aspects, trying to open the secret door. However, what happened next stunned Sade. He realized that his spiritual power’s detection was blocked off! His spiritual power was unable to penetrate the secret door before him! Not only that, but Sade also did not find any magic-array-related power on it. In other words, this was the isolation effect of the secret door before him.

‘Probably it is made of energy materials?’ Sade’s eyes were filled with shock.

Energy materials were the name that Sade had given to these materials. They were different from magic materials that usually contained elemental power. Although these materials that could isolate spiritual power were also classified as magic materials, they were exceptional and extremely rare.

Sade had unintentionally obtained some in the King’s Great Basin and learned about its origin from Prescott. Not only that it was able to block off the spiritual power’s detection, but it could also block off elemental power. The material itself was also abnormally sturdy.

Usually, this kind of material was used to make powerful magic weapons or store precious treasures to prevent energy leakage. This material was extremely expensive in this world. An ordinary person would not be able to afford it. Even an extraordinary archmage would feel highly costly to buy it.

The secret door before Sade was erected of this kind of material.

Not only that, but Sade also tried channeling his spiritual power into the ground, but it was also impenetrable!

‘This is incredible! Probably some amazing treasures were stored inside.’ Sade did not feel guilty thinking that this treasure belonged to the minister. He suddenly intended to open the secret door and take the treasures away.

Although the thing before him was made of energy materials and looked abnormally sturdy, it wasn’t as challenging for Sade. He only needed to move his mouth to break the secret door directly. A strange power suddenly overflowed from the corner of Sade’s mouth as he touched the blue texture at the corner of his mouth.

As he was about to swallow the secret door, footsteps suddenly came from outside the hall. The minister and his son, Bob, welcomed a group of people into the hall. Sade, who had been hiding in the shadows in the corner, was surprised looking at the group of people.

“Eh, isn’t this…” Sade was surprised to find that these people were the ones he had met at the Elven Village in the Magical Beast Mountain Range. Wenke Dean, the Second Prince of the Kingdom of Romete, happened to be among the group.

However, unlike his previous profligate self, he was silent, looking gloomy as if he had been reprimanded.

“Hmph! He isn’t a good person. I didn’t expect them to be the men of the Third Prince of the Magic Empire! This is too much of a coincidence.” Sade subconsciously guessed.

Considering that the other party was a mage, he immediately activated his spiritual power and took out a crystal the size of a baby’s fist from his pocket. The crystal’s color was very similar to the color of the material on the outer layer of the secret door.

Yes, this was an energy material. It was one of the few pieces that Sade had collected in the King’s Great Basin. The only difference was that this crystal was roughly engraved with an elemental magic array, ‘release.’ This was what Philomena had taught him.

Elemental magic arrays such as ‘release,’ ‘storage,’ and so on were the basics of the College of Mage. So happened that Sade was learning. Thus he carved a magic array, ‘release’ on this energy material.

The process was complicated. After all, the energy material itself repelled the elemental power and could even resist the contact of spiritual power. However, fortunately, Sade finally completed the production successfully, owing to his earth control ability. Moreover, he also added the most basic visual impairment function to it.

Unlike spiritual power, the earth control ability was directly controlled by his consciousness and had nothing to do with the elemental power itself. Sade’s spiritual power concentrated on it, and the crystal immediately emitted a gray invisible energy fluctuation. Then, Sade’s figure repeatedly disappeared into the shadows. Sade was still standing there, but no one in the hall could detect his existence.

After welcoming the few people into the hall, the minister quickly arranged tables and chairs and served high-quality wine and delicious food, greeting them with the highest treatment. In the face of the minister’s hospitality, the few people present were relatively calm and behaved nobly.

The vicious triangular-eyed man raised his glass to toast the minister. He was also a country minister, especially now that the minister controlled the entire kingdom. Although they were the Third Prince’s men, there was no need to be too entangled with each other in this regard.

The vicious triangular-eyed man’s behavior also made the minister feel very comfortable. As a minister himself, the vicious triangular-eyed man could also become the country’s ruler in the future. Hence, his actions satisfied the minister’s vanity.

However, unlike the vicious triangular-eyed man, the behavior of Wenke Dean, who was sitting with them, was utterly different from everyone else’s.

He was sitting at the side, with a smug look on his face, holding a delicious fruit in his hand. He looked pretty dissatisfied, as if everyone around him owed him a million gold coins.

“Hmph! What’s with the smug look!”

“You are just a minister. You should know that I’m the Second Prince of the Kingdom of Romete. I’m a Prince! Why should I serve a mere minister like you?” Wenke did not hide his disdainful expression.

However, Wenke didn’t care, making the minister feel very awkward. That feeling was as if he wasn’t a minister who was about to turn the tables and become the king of this kingdom but a mere retainer of the Kingdom of Romete.

The vicious triangular-eyed man was also dissatisfied with Wenke’s behavior. However, he couldn’t do anything about it in the current situation and could only glare fiercely at Wenke, warning him not to act recklessly.

Then, he asked the minister, “Minister Herrmann, I wonder what the previous plan was like. Has Princess Philomena agreed to get married?”

“Don’t worry, Lord Envoy. The Herlock King had personally spoken. How could she not agree? And now that the Queen’s life is in danger, what other choice does Princess Philomena have?” A sinister look appeared on Minister Herrmann’s face. He was very good at controlling people’s hearts.

Hearing the minister’s reply, the vicious triangular-eyed man glanced at him and slowly said, “I hope so. You must know that His Highness, the Third Prince, nominated this matter. Now that the Imperial College of Magic is about to enroll new students again, the Third Prince urgently needs to perform to demonstrate his aptitude and potential. Therefore, hopefully, Princess Philomena’s magic talent could meet the third Prince’s requirements. Otherwise, you know the consequences if the ritual fails.” The triangular eyes revealed a hint of threat.

“A ritual that requires Philomena’s magic talent? Could it be an evil ritual that can rob a person’s magic talent? Damn it! This Third Prince of the Magic Empire is so vicious!”

Hearing the vicious triangular-eyed man’s words, Sade, hiding in the shadows, was instantly enraged. He did not expect him to be so cruel that he wanted to rob Philomena’s magic talent through an evil ritual! Those whose magic talents were robbed by the evil ritual would die immediately. The Third Price despised human life so much.

In the hall, facing the threat of the vicious triangular-eyed man, Minister Herrmann still had a smile on his face.

“Don’t worry, Lord Envoy. Princess Philomena was only an advanced mage when she was kidnapped by the giant dragon three years ago. Now, she has already reached the archmage level. Her magic talent must be astonishing. Moreover, she and His Highness both have fire attributed magic talent! She would be able to meet the Third Prince’s requirements. There are only three days left. Her father will personally send her over when the time comes. On her wedding day with my son, I will order someone to drug her and restrict her movements so that she cannot mobilize her magic power. When that time comes, she will be all yours. What you do to her is none of my concern.”

The minister showed a “You understand, I understand, everyone understands” look on his face. Especially at the end of his sentence, that respectful tone immediately caused a commotion in the hearts of the people present. The same goes for the vicious triangular-eyed man.

After all, they were all young men who were full of vigor. Now that someone had taken the initiative to help, it would be a lie if they said they weren’t tempted. These were practically voices in their hearts.

“Hmph! I hope so!”

“Don’t worry. This is an order from His Highness, the Third Prince. We wouldn’t dare to disobey.”

“I believe that no one from any kingdom would disobey the orders of His Highness, the Third Prince.” The minister flattered the Third Prince with ease and took the initiative to lower his stance, showing respect to the prince.

However, little did they know that their act of transacting people like goods had completely infuriated a particular person who was hiding at the side.

“Splendid! I did not expect that the Third Prince of the Magic Empire would conspire with the country’s minister to murder the Princess to rob her magic talent. He even aided the country minister in treason and stealing the country. Probably the Third Prince is not aware that he would be stripped of his title as a prince if he participates in the political affairs of the Kingdom.” Sade’s voice suddenly sounded. Everyone in the hall was shocked.

“Who?”

“Who there?”
