Chapter 580 Plundering the Dead Island (3)
"Change the pill chests!"
Hearing this voice, Jacob turned around and saw the metal wall siding upward, revealing a vault, and eight cloaked Wraiths were standing, and in front of them was a Midget Wight in armor.
Jacob was in stealth, so no one noticed him and the wraiths at this moment waved their wands, and all the chests in the lift began to open before the pills within began to fly towards the midget.
The Midget dismissively waved his hand, and thousands of pills vanished into his space ring.
"Send it back." He ordered before turning around.
Jacob didn't stay there either and quickly entered the vault since this midget was clearly a much bigger fish, and this place was hidden underground, so it had to be the top-secret area of the Research Island.
Furthermore, since this midget took all the refined pills, Jacob won't let him go easily. He was finally closer to the source of all those pills.
Following the midget, Jacob exited the vault and entered a corridor before making his way towards a spacious place.
Jacob's eyes contracted a little because this place was filled with bookshelves and equipment far higher tier than the alchemy equipment on the upper level.
There were around a hundred Midget Wights in here, and all of them were immense in their own research or reading, and no one paid attention to the armored midget.
The armored midget wasn't stopping here as he continued to move forward and open a door. Jacob thought for a moment before continue following him while remembering the way. He was going to wait until swooping everything in one fell swoop.
Once they exited the area, they appeared in another long passage, and at the end of it was a metallic door.
This time, the armored midget didn't hurry to open the door. Instead, he respectfully spoke, "General Thone, I'm here to deliver the next batch of dark medicines!"
"Yes, General, I've confirmed myself. We are currently searching for them. This matter is, so I've quickly reported it to you." The voice urgently replied.
"Indeed, this is very peculiar. All the guards are loyal to us, and they've been for at least five decades. They also know just how big of a crime it is to plunder from twelve research islands. All the faction resources are sent here to refine dark medicines, and no one dares to have any thought about it.
"Lock down the entire island and use the surveillance formation to the fullest to search for them. I want you to capture them and bring them here. There is something wrong. If you still don't find them within two hours, report it to me!" Thone gravely issued a command.
"I'm on it!" The voice replied.
Thone then looked at the armored midget and coldly ordered, "Tell our brethren not to leave the refineries until we solve this issue with the thieves. Increase the security to the maximum."
"Right away!" The armored midget knew just how serious and strange this matter was, so they had to be extremely careful.
However, before he could complete the order, a jeering voice rang, "Now, why would I let you do that?"
Both Thone and the armored midget were shocked hearing this heavy voice out of nowhere, and before they could react, Thone suddenly began to fall down as the flames in his empty sockets extinguished.
On the other hand, the armored midget suddenly felt a mountain-like iron fist land on his skull, and the next moment, all his bones were crushed, and his armor shattered.
Jacob then picked up the black core within the pile of bone before looking at the slumbering Thone and his lips rose up in a cold sneer, "Since this is the heart of the research island, there is no need to hide anymore."
Without wasting any time, he turned around toward the bookshelf and began to take all the books into his space ring before only the black book was left, and it wouldn't budge from its place. He knew this book was some kind of key to unlock the vault hidden behind this shelf as he had witnessed the entire scene himself.
However, just like before, it won't open on his touch. But he wasn't worried at all and looked at Thone and hurried over him before grabbing him.
Jacob pressed his tiny bone hand on the book, and the vault opened easily, and then he issued a command coldly, "Turn him into a puppet!"
