In various films and TV shows, studies often hide a secret room, and the way to open it is either by rotating a desk lamp or pressing a specific book on the bookshelf. Saifei'er decided to try it on a whim, not expecting anything, but it actually worked?
After a few seconds of stunned, she stepped into the suddenly appearing secret room.
Since the door was already open, she definitely had to go in and take a look! She was very curious what would be inside this secret room, but... behind the bookshelf was just another independent small room. The first thing that caught Saifei'er's eye was a pink double bed.
Saifei'er, "...?"
Is this, is this right?
Immediately after, Saifei'er saw some 'toys' like whips, candles, collars, and ropes by the bed. She seemed to... know what this secret room was used for.
Most likely, it was for an affair with a mistress, otherwise why would it be so hidden?
"No way? Isn't Viscount Brown already over fifty? And he still plays so wildly?" Saifei'er showed a disgusted expression, then quickly left the place and pressed the same book again, and the bookshelf automatically moved back to its original position.
Standing at the study door, Saifei'er pricked up her ears. It was very quiet outside, with no sound, so she slowly pushed open the study door and walked out.
Even when Saifei'er didn't deliberately lighten her steps, she made almost no sound when walking. Ailiya had been startled by her many times because of this. Now that she deliberately lightened her steps, she seemed to merge into the darkness, silent and with an extremely low presence.
At this moment, even if someone was nearby, they probably wouldn't notice her.
Professionally trained assassins or thieves can hide themselves in an inconspicuous small corner by actively looking for the enemy's blind spots, thereby hiding or waiting for an opportunity to ambush.
However, Saifei'er certainly didn't have such superb skills. Her kind of hiding was more like directly weakening her own presence, making her inconspicuous, like a small pebble on the side of the road that no one would be bored enough to focus their attention on.
Saifei'er achieved an effect similar to 'invisibility' by weakening her presence. Of course, she herself didn't actually know that she was currently 'invisible.' She was about to steal something, so she was just instinctively cautious and sneaky.
Saifei'er walked around the fourth floor and found that it was mostly unoccupied guest rooms. After casually entering one and looking around, she found that the environment here was countless times better than the rooms in the Adventurers' Guild.
Soft, fluffy pillows, clean white sheets, and even the wooden floor was impeccably clean. Although she didn't understand wood, she could tell at a glance that the quality of this wood was definitely much better than the wood in the Adventurers' Guild!
After finding nothing on the fourth floor, Saifei'er took the stairs down to the third floor. As soon as she got down, a nearby room door suddenly opened, and Pike and another man walked out side by side. From their conversation, it could be heard that Pike was very respectful to him, so this man was most likely the owner of this mansion, Viscount Brown.
After a while, the two men separated and walked into two different rooms, seemingly preparing to rest. Only then did Saifei'er release her hands and jump down from the chandelier in the corridor.
Yes, the moment these two people appeared, she instinctively leaped up, holding onto the chandelier with both hands and pushing off the wall with her feet for leverage, suspending herself horizontally in the air.
They say that thieves never look up, and indeed, these two people didn't notice her. Saifei'er couldn't help but pat her full chest and let out a sigh of relief, "You scared me."
Although, even if she didn't do anything, it was impossible for these two people to discover her.
The third floor seemed to be where the Brown family lived. Saifei'er could hear people in most of the rooms on this floor, so there was no need to search here. She skipped it and continued downstairs to the second floor.
Then, at first glance, she saw two guards yawning at the door of a room at the end of the corridor. Since there were guards, it meant this room must be very important!
However, entering the room right under the noses of two guards was certainly not an easy task.
After a moment of thought, Saifei'er decided, 'Forget it, I'm not pretending anymore, I'm laying my cards on the table, I'm going to cheat!'
Godspeed, activate!
Instantly, faint golden electric sparks appeared around Saifei'er, and everything around her slowed down at a visible speed.
Saifei'er arrived at the room door in an instant, and at this moment, the two guards were still in the posture of opening their mouths to yawn. However, when she grasped the doorknob and tried to turn it, Saifei'er discovered... this door was locked.
This was a very important place after all, so it would be strange if it wasn't locked, right?
So the question arose: although Saifei'er claimed to be a 'thief,' she didn't know how to pick locks! What should she do now? She couldn't just kick the door down, could she?
After a moment of bewilderment, Saifei'er quickly cast her gaze towards the waists of the two guards beside her. Under normal circumstances, the guards at the door should have keys, right?
Then, she actually found a string of keys on the waist of the guard on the left. She reached out and took them directly.
There were many keys on this key ring, but Saifei'er was very lucky. She tried them randomly, and the second one successfully opened the door.
After entering the room and closing the door again, Saifei'er deactivated her Godspeed state.
"Haa~"
This was the sound of the guard at the door yawning. From beginning to end, these two people never realized that a 'little cat' had opened the door with the keys on their waist and slipped in right in front of them.
This seemed to be a warehouse. As soon as Saifei'er entered, she saw three metal treasure chests neatly placed in various parts of the room, and each treasure chest was also locked.
Seeing this, Saifei'er lowered her head and glanced at the string of keys in her hand, "No wonder there are so many keys."
She casually picked the closest treasure chest, and randomly selected a key. Her luck was still very good; it opened on the first try, and then a whole box full of gold dragons appeared before her.
You should know that a single gold dragon is only about the size of a thumb and about one centimeter thick, while this treasure chest is one meter long, half a meter wide, and half a meter high. It's hard to imagine how much money is in a box filled with gold dragons like this.
"Wait... no way?"
Saifei'er suddenly turned to look at the other treasure chests nearby, took out the key, and opened the second and third ones. Without exception, all these boxes were filled with these shiny gold coins.
Saifei'er couldn't help but swallow. She was truly shocked. Conservatively estimated, these gold dragons must be worth tens of thousands, right?
She knew noble families were rich, but she never expected them to be this rich?
