章節 43: Steal~
Re'Kha left the Water Qi Essence in the granary, making it continue generating Water Qi at the fastest rate possible. Water Qi filled the area, increasing its humidity, allowing her to see clearly. She constantly inhaled it, sensing the Water Qi reserves in her steadily increase. Re'Kha entered the manhole and walked towards the other side, climbing into the treasury.
She gazed at the pile of coins on the floor, placing all coins with the denomination of 5 and above in her storage space. She looked at the rack with the medicines, only taking the ones that would help with her recovery, leaving the rest behind.
The household hadn't obtained anything of value among the pills and tonic, only possessing the ones that were available in Burkurel City, albeit more expensive than normal medicines. As anything of greater value was strictly controlled by the Sects that produced them, the distribution of such medicines was only based on demand and had to be consumed on the spot.
That's why the household hadn't managed to obtain such medicines. After storing the medicines she needed, Re'Kha opened the lid of the two Aeki near the bed, looking at the variety of food in the first Aeki and the crystalline water in the second.
She returned to the granary and picked up the metal cylinder that had a Fire Qi Essence embedded into it. That was how it produced hot water continuously. She emptied its contents on the granary floor and arrived at the treasury, filling it with the water from the Aeki.
She then wrapped the food within a cloth and placed both it and the metal cylinder into her storage space, noticing that it was almost full. The metal cylinder wasn't too big, but it still occupied a fair enough space.
Her storage ring had a cubical volume, the sides of which approximately conformed to the length of her arm. But, it was a rigid storage, like a metal box with the same dimensions. So, she had to arrange the items within it to prevent them from occupying too much space and block other items from being placed.
Moreover, when she opened it, a transfer of air happened between its inside and the outside world. After all, when she activated her storage ring, it created a portal of sorts to connect with the space inside, allowing passage of materials from both the dimensions, whether living or non-living.
It was an incredible Magic Artifact, for it was personally crafted by the Third Celestial Emperor Kalki, a being at the peak of her race. The space within it was no different from that of reality, its advantage being that it was mobile, moving with the storage ring.
Hidden in the underside of the bed was a thin section within which were some clothes. Re'Kha pulled them out, noticing a bag placed at the end. "I knew they would have kept something like this here. Only then can they escape with their belongings should the situation turn for the worse."
The bag seemed to be made from a tough material, resistant to water, expandable to contain a fair enough volume. It was a backpack, its design also wasn't anything unique, looking similar to the ones sold in Burkurel City. The only difference was its sheer superiority in the quality of its material.
After keeping a change of clothes for an emergency, Re'Kha poured as many of the coins—with the denomination of 2—as possible within the storage ring, stopping as she left little space in preparation for the item she wished to store next.
She tied the remainder of the money in a cloth, stuffed it with some fur to prevent them from creating jingling sounds while moving, and dumped it into the bag. Unwilling to leave anything behind that would serve as evidence, or waste the resources, she placed the medicines in the bag, leaving five vials behind.
Finally, she dumped the clothes she had taken for use, and some food at the top, holding the bag to see that it weighed a lot, making it difficult to carry for long distances. Still, it wasn't heavy to the extent she was unable to lift it.
After two night's rest, she had recovered enough to carry it. But, if she exerted herself any more, she would cause her injuries to accumulate. Re'Kha had plans in motion in regards to that, so she wasn't concerned.
She dropped the bag through the manhole, carried it across to the granary, and placed it at the entrance. She then descended through the stairs, arriving at the floor of the granary to see the Water Qi Essence was close to getting expended. The granary area seemed as if it was completely submerged underwater.
Once she replenished her Water Qi reserves to the maximum, Re'Kha felt difficulty in breathing. She made a trip to the treasury as she picked up the five vials she had left behind. "Their sizes are…perfect."
She then picked up the vat and other materials, carrying them to the granary before setting up her scheme. "Since they are part of the organisation that caused master's death, I shouldn't leave them alone."
Re'Kha entered the treasury, opened the lid to the Aeki containing water, and used a spare cloth to tie the lid to its side. This prevented it from closing shut ever again. The water levels within slowly rose, soon brimming before spilling out of the Aeki. As it was a form of plant, it couldn't move, a passive creature whose life was dictated by others.
The water spilled on the floor, slowly covering its surface. Re'Kha closed the manhole and planted a couple of spikes—that she had used to jam the granary's entrance—into the floor. She wished to make use of the water pressure for the time when the household members arrived to investigate.
She then climbed back into the granary, closing the manhole shut, glancing at the blanket and other items she had brought with her, "I hope my traces on them would vanish by the time they arrive. Or…yeah, the scouts would probably attempt something drastic anyway, so this house is bound to get damaged."
