The first treasury that Elena targeted was located in a city called Zaro. In the slum district of this city, there was a very dilapidated house. A few beggars came to sleep here at night. It was impossible for anyone to think that this almost broken house actually had a hidden treasury with a lot of gems inside it. But as unbelievable as that sounded, it was actually true.
In this dilapidated house where anyone could enter without any restriction, the pirate leader had hidden a good amount of his loot. There was a hidden door in this broken house that led to an underground chamber and that was the place where the valuables were stored. That hidden door had various powerful runes engraved on it so that no one below the level 400 could sense it and only a person above level 500 could open it. So this place was actually extremely safe.
This was going to be Elena's simplest treasury raid. She just covered her whole body with a cloak, entered the dilapidated house in broad daylight and left it after taking away all the loots. It was very common for clocked suspicious figures to roam around the slum area and this house was also not a restricted place. So no one was suspicious of her. As it was noontime this house was also empty making the job a cakewalk for Ele- Carmelia.
...
The next place was a bit tricky though. It was an orphanage run by the local government. No one living in the orphanage including the staff knew about the hidden treasury, so Elena could not storm in there. She also had not designed Carmelia's character sheet with stealth in mind so she was unable to just sneak in without notifying anyone.
As for her summons, she had already decided for her to have only 5 summons as that was a standard number for summoners of this era. They were Echidna the slime, a wood dragon, a white holy bird, a large sea serpent with deadly poison and finally a super large elephant. None of them were good for stealth. By the way, except for Echidna, Elena chose all the other summons by a proper gacha game without any bias.
So, Elena concocted a plan and immediately acted upon it. She went to the orphanage as a normal guest wanting to play with the kids and to make some donations. The staff here were very kind and immediately welcomed her. They were always happy to let the kids interact with more people and Elena in her Carmelia getup looked like a very good and kind person.
Before starting to play with children, she summoned Echidna out in her small size as a play partner for the kids. Echidna was too cute and very soon became good friends with the elvin children. As Carmelia had already told the orphanage staff that she was a summoner, they were not worried when she summoned a monster in front of the children as summoners were supposed to have perfect control over their summons. It was common sense here.
While playing with the children both Elena and Echidna tried to search for the hidden treasury. She knew that it was somewhere in the playground of the children but was not sure about the exact location. But soon Echidna actually managed to find it out even before Carmelia, earning praises from her. After finding the exact location, she did not take any steps and just continued playing with the children now with her full focus.
After playing for a long time, all the kids got tired and went inside the orphanage to have lunch. Elena followed behind them and took out some high quality beast meat and declared that she would treat all the kids and the staff of the orphanage to a lavish meal. Everyone immediately became extremely excited and ran to the kitchen to see such high quality food ingredients for the first time. The bustling playground suddenly became empty.
Even though everyone had left the playground, one individual was still present here. It was none other than our cute little slime, Echidna. She was in charge of getting the reward by digging the ground while Elena kept others busy. The pirate leader was in cahoots with the mayor of this city and whenever all the orphanage children were away from here for some kind of trip or for renovation of this place, he always came here to store his items.
The amount Elena found here was very little if compared to what she got from two other places. Probably because the mayor also knew about this place and it was a risky location he did not put much stuff here. Before leaving the orphanage, she decided to donate all the gems that she found here. Now this would not rot and instead would bring happiness to the children.
...
The third place was a simple target for Elena. Actually this place had the toughest security among all the locations but the golden lining was the fact that this place was conquerable using brute force and whatever problem could be solved that way was not a problem in Elena's eyes.
It was a highly guarded mansion located in a quiet part of the city. So Carmela went in with full force and with her summons in toe. The battle was not a battle but just a massacre and she was able to easily get her hands on the third treasury. Just as Elena had expected, it was as easy as the first' one.
But other than the treasury Elena had another valuable discovery here. She got her hands on some documents which could be used as proof of the pirate leader working with many influential people. Obviously this nation had a law and order. So just Carmelia's individual allegations could not be used as evidence. But now all those influential people were fucked with these perfect proves in her hand.
So before going to the last treasury, Elena handed the documents to the good head guard guy and left it in his capable hands.
...
Now the last and final treasury was located in the underground sewage tunnel of a large city. This tunnel was like a maze and extremely complex. Even after a lot of torture, the leader of the pirates was unable to describe the exact location of the last treasury. But he did give Carmelia the clues he usually used to navigate this place.
Those clues were really not very reliable but still she was able to somehow find a general direction where she should search. Then after finding a lot of dead ends and wrong tunnels, finally she was able to find the final treasury after an exhausting search of three whole days. But Elena did enjoy it quite a bit though as it reminded her of the old days when she was still very weak and needed to wander through mazes.
After gathering all the treasuries, Elena's fun little roleplaying came to an end. Now she was just going to relax in the expensive suite of the flying ship with Eldriana and Dalia until they reached Nigur.
