The group soon left Smith's room, with Void taking the lead just like the first time. According to what Smith said, the mayor's room was located at the heart of the main building. Smith's room was in the right wing of the building, now, the group had to move from Smith's room to the mayor's room without being spotted by either the guards or the servants in the villa.
Even with Void leading the group, it still took them almost ten minutes to safely navigate from the right wing to the main building without being sensed or spotted. After sneaking into the main building, their speed decreased exponentially due to the dramatic increase of the guards there.
"I thought that guy said most of the guards were sent away?" Klaus couldn't help but ask in frustration when the group was stuck in a hallway for almost five minutes.
They were currently hiding behind a small tree-like decoration in a hallway, but moving forward or retreating was impossible because there was not only a guard ahead of them, but there was one behind them as well.
"Looks like he wasn't completely honest with the information he gave us." Grey furrowed his brow while communicating with Void who was ahead of them, trying to seek a better path for them.
Seeing the situation, Reynolds suggested, "Why don't we knock out the guards, instead of staying here for so long?"
"No. If a single guard goes missing, it will probably give us away." Grey said thoughtfully.
"Void should try distracting the guard ahead of us. The longer we stay here, the greater the chances of us being discovered. You all should know that a guard will eventually patrol through that garden, I don't need to tell you what would happen when they see the state of the garden." Alice said after a while.
Grey nodded before telling Void to find a way to distract the guard ahead of them, so they could continue advancing.
It took almost two minutes before Void managed to distract the guard that was ahead of them. As soon as Void told them it clear, they quickly dashed forward.
Ten minutes later, they were already only a few turns away from the mayor's room. And they noticed that the closer they got to the mayor's room, the lesser the guards were which was actually weird since it should be the closer they got to the mayor's room, the higher the guards there.
"Does anyone else find this fishy?" Grey asked looking at the completely free passage ahead of them.
Void had scouted from their current location up to the mayor's room and he didn't find a single guard on the way. All the rooms along the way were also empty.
"Yeah. Do you think it has anything to do with the guests the mayor received?" Klaus nodded.
He initially wanted to rub his chin with his right hand, but he was carrying Smith on his right shoulder which made it extremely difficult for him to do. He couldn't help but glare at Alice while she wasn't looking at him.
"Possibly." replied Grey.
"Standing here and contemplating wouldn't change anything. Let's get those coins and be out of here." Reynolds urged.
The group cautiously advanced closer to the mayor's room.
After walking for almost one minute unhindered, they saw the mayor's room. Void had already scouted it, and there was no one inside. The mayor was most likely with his guests.
The group didn't delay and quickly entered the room. Compared to Smith's room, this one was almost twice its size, and it had more decorations, couches, and a table and chair. There was also a small bookshelf close to the table that was located close to the window. What looked like the fur of a bear-like magical beast was used as a center carpet in the room.
Klaus immediately dropped Smith on the center carpet since his shoulder was already starting to feel numb from carrying him for so long.
He located the switch to open the secret passage which was close to the bed, luckily, Smith didn't lie about it.
The secret passage opened up, but not in the room. Klaus followed the sound, and it was just like Smith said, it was on the wall in the bathroom. Since they were short on time, Grey and Klaus quickly went in while Void went outside to keep an eye out so someone wouldn't come in when the group was still inside.
After walking through the passageway for almost a minute, they got to the treasury. And it was just like it was called, a treasury. There were weapons, armors, herbs, some low leveled natural treasures, and so on.
Klaus looked around and quickly located the spot where the coins were kept.
"Gold or Silver?" He asked Grey.
Although there were copper coins, he didn't put them in his eyes.
"Is that a question? Step aside." Grey pushed him aside as he quickly started taking gold and silver coins.
The number of gold coins here was around five thousand to Seven thousand, Grey took just over four thousand, while for the silver coins that were over fifty thousand, he took around ten thousand.
"This is more than enough, we should get going." Grey turned around after keeping the coins.
The reason Klaus wanted to rob this place was so that they could afford horses, but seeing so many coins, Grey decided to take more. It doesn't really change anything if they took a few or if they took more, the mayor would still try to catch them and possibly kill them if he found out about it.
The duo left the treasury without touching anything else, it wasn't like they didn't want to, but the items there were too low leveled for them. They would only be effective on Elementalist below the Origin Plane.
After leaving the bathroom, the group left the mayor's room, preparing to escape from the villa without being spotted. So far, it has been quite successful since they haven't been spotted, nor had the guards been alarmed. But with that garden there, it was only a matter of time before someone finds out about their existence in the villa.
