Chapter 100 - 100: The Interrogation Starts (1/2)
”Well Hello”
Lambert was beside himself with joy when he saw the contents of the treasure ċhėst, he slowly lowered his hand into the ċhėst and then pulled out a sword, it had a broad double-edged blade with a small hilt in the shape of wings with stripes on either side.
Giving the blade a few swings to get a feel for it Lambert let out a satisfying sight, 'Although it's a bit on the light side, it seems to be more durable than the previous sword I used. This weapon relies on the user having more speed rather than strength. All in all, it's a good sword to have... when nothing better is available.'
'Let's see what else is in the ċhėst'
With another peek, Lambert looked inside the ċhėst and pulled out a large white gem. Lambert was about to inspect it when it suddenly started glowing.
”A new hand has touched the beacon. Listen and....”
Without a second thought, Lambert threw the gem of the tower into the woods.
'Damn that thing is creepy, it counts the times it's been touched. Good Riddens'
Lambert thought as he kept looking throught the ċhėst's contents.
'So here we have some animal hides, some leather, some straps, some fur armor, about four hundred gold, two rubies, one diamond, and finally a magic scroll which seems to be for casting [Circle Of Protection]. These bandits were filthy rich, makes me wonder why they didn't have better equipment or why nobody used this sword'
Little did Lambert know that the reason was that the bandit chief was a cheapskate.
'Well anyway let's see if this armor fits me.'
Lambert quickly wore the fur armor, unfortunately, this particular piece of armor only protected the most important part, leaving Lambert's upper body still exposed.
'Well at least it fits, and I can finally get rid of these pants that are so thin they almost see throught. Now I can fight without worrying about my pants suddenly ripping and mooning my enemies to death
Having wrapped evrything into one of the furs Lambert tied it with one of the leather straps, before picking the whole thing up and going back down the tower.
Walking down the stairs Lambert saw Vadne looking throught the crates that stood next to the stairs.
When she heard him she looked up and took an apple out of the crate.
”We struck a jackpot, this barrel is about half full of apples while that one has some meat in it as for the last one it's got some cabbage. The sacks are filled with either wheat or bread”
Taking a bite out of the apple Vadne looked at the sword now on Lambert's waist and his knew armor.
”Where did you find that”
She couldn't help but ask while eying the fur package Lambert was carrying.
”I found it upstairs in a ċhėst it must be all the loot the bandits had gathered since they began their little operation”
Vadne's face fell hearing his words.
”So while I was looking throught crates finding vegetables, you found a ċhėst filled with gold and spoils!”
”That about sums it up”
Lambert agreed before putting the fur package on the ground.
”But don't worry since we're traveling together we will share our spoils equally, deal”
Lambert said causing Vadne's eyes to shine as she walked up to lambert and looked up at him with puppy dog eyes.
