Chapter 1103: Exploiting Loopholes

“Haih, it seems like this turmoil of war’s not for a short period of time and not only in one place. It’s gonna spread to the whole Primary World,” Fang Ning said as he saw the following situation with his own eyes. A bright idea occurred to him suddenly and he exclaimed with the devotion to righteousness. “In order to preserve the Upper Realm’s cultural ancient book from being ruined by these wars, we can’t stand idly anymore.”

“Heh, host you’re such a hypocrite,” System No. 2 said rashly.

“Watch what you’re saying, don’t learn that attitude from Sir System that constantly irks me,” Fang Ning replied as he felt speechless, “I’m only saying these from a chivalrous standpoint, and to maintain the stable existence of the System.”

“Oh, I understand now. I was given a customized warning message before from the creator to admonish that the host had the ability to exploit loopholes and asked me to be vigilant so that you wouldn’t steal the creator’s money,” System No. 2 said in realization, “I’m finally able to correspond to that message.”

“Stop talking cr*p, go down and collect those books, jades and bamboo strips fast,” Fang Ning ordered furiously as he felt humiliated.

Vigilante A quickly disappeared into the palace hall that contained those ancient books and collected bundles of books with ease.

There was no System Space, but there were plenty of storage artifacts. Sir System absolutely would not have used it on this.

Other than going into the Alchemy Labs, the imperial household’s army had a second target and that was the locations where the books were collected.

Previously the rebels were unable to wreck these two locations, it was not because they were restricted or they had not thought about it. It was because these locations had always been strictly guarded.

The so-called strictly guarded was not because there were priest guards by the entrance, even the door and walls were cast by steel. It was not something that the rebels could break open in a short amount of time with simple and crude tools like a huge log.

That was up until the priest guards escaped due to firearm deterrence, even the rigid defense could not stop an intruder when left unguarded.

Let alone now the intruders had the key to open the door…

As Fang Ning expected, the imperial household really did spare some of the priests, and these priests obviously had keys to the palace.

As they were rummaging through the Alchemy Labs there was nothing out of the ordinary. When the soldiers were searching through the book collection halls that was when they started exclaiming.

“Yi, where are the books?”

“Maybe the priests took them? They do have storage artifacts.”

“That’s impossible, they don’t have a lot of storage artifacts. Plus, those that are still available for use are even lesser, they would’ve used it to store pills and herbs and not these useless damaged books…”

Few of the soldiers discussed for a while and soon enough, someone reported the information to the army chief that was stationed outside the palace.

“Isn’t that impossible? We’ve investigated clearly beforehand and launched the attack quickly. Those demon priests had no time to take away anything else other than some herbs and pills.” The army chief that was wearing a bright silver-colored armor said to someone that looked like a military counselor angrily.

“Commander, it seems like someone took advantage of the situation and looted before us.” The military counselor was indeed a military counselor as he was able to answer in a short time.

“Cr*p, we spent a lot of effort to train the Skyfire squadron and herd the rebels. In the end, the fruits of our labor were stolen, troops…” The commander became furious and was about to give orders.

“Slow down commander, the one that took advantage must’ve been a cultivator of magical energy. As the pills are still here, let’s not do anything rash. The Skyfire team’s still weak as well…” The military counselor said in a low tone, “Besides, books are just books and there’s plenty in the imperial household. Those measly items are nothing but waste papers now, even if it’s gone no superior will bat an eye.”

“Fine then military counselor, remember to report that a rebel set fire to the books once we’ve returned…” The commander said as he felt a bit speechless.

“Yes, wise commander,” The military counselor said in flattery.

“Heh, should’ve just exterminated these cultivators. Otherwise, how’d the military people have an opportunity to rise in position?” The commander said ruthlessly.

The commander obviously felt some sort of resentment from being looted, it was not something that could be dispelled by few flattering words.

The military counselor said nothing in return and quietly sneered in his heart. A group of foolish cultivators was now gone and the one that would call shots in the future would be them, the scholars.

Without the scholars supervising and manufacturing the firearms, how would they have dealt with those priests?
