Chapter 592: The First Treasure Vault

With Kayla’s earth magic, she opened an entrance to the vault under the mountain. Angela’s magic is more powerful, but Kayla has better magic control. So, it’s best if she’s the one doing it. And Angela just need to use earth magic to support the mountain so it won’t fall.

Delicate magic is not what Angela can do best. She’s more of an offensive mage. She prefer to attack her enemies instead of using magic for delicate situation. Kayla is the best for that.

And so, Angela’s task is for our protection. Though I doubt there’s anyone other than those from the cult who would dare to attack us.

Look at our line up! We have Julia and Kayla, finalists of the tournament, and the winner of the tournament who has been dubbed as the strongest mage because of it, Angela. Only few people dare to fight us.

The mountain opened, and I can see more things that I couldn’t see before when I used Divine Vision. And finally, I see a lot of gold inside the mountain.

“I can see golds inside the mountain. Mountain of golds,” I said.

“Is he a dragon who horde treasures and sleep on it? Or maybe he’s a duck who used gold coins as swimming pool,” Victoria said.

.....

“Gold coins as swimming pool? They are solid object. If anyone jumped into it, they could die. Just what kind of duck exist in your world?”

Again, I’m curious about that thing from Victoria’s world. What kind of duck could dive into gold coins?

All I know about duck is that they are delicious. I don’t know anything else about them other than they can fly and they can swim.

“It’s nothing important. Anyway, that’s the treasure vault, right? We finally found one. Are there any magic items there?” Victoria asked.

“I don’t know. I couldn’t see that far yet. We need to check this whole place,” I said.

“And I will get all the golds and jewelries. Men! Gather all the valuables except for the magical items!” Julia ordered her men.

“You don’t want me to use portal to bring them all later?” I asked Julia.

“I’ll ask that of you later after we have gathered everything we will bring. Let’s check this place first,” Julia said.

Now, the entrance has been opened and it’s strong enough to support the mountain. Though after we cleared up everything here, I think we should close the vault forever. Destroying the mountain.

I’ll check the surrounding area later to see if there’s anyone nearby. And when I know that there is no one here, I’ll get Kayla and Angela to destroy the mountain. It’s best to not make any potential hiding spots not just for the cult, but also for the bandits as well.

After Kayla opened the mountain, she used light magic to illuminate the dark vault. And the gold reflected the light coming from Kayla’s magic.

“We’re rich! We’re rich! Grab all the golds!” Julia said happily.

Now that I look closer, everyone she brought carrying several bags. Though seeing the amount of gold inside the vault, I don’t think those bags are enough to fit all of the valuables here.

“Kayla, Angela, Victoria, let’s go look for treasures ourselves,” I said.

Victoria then leaves my side and look for treasures herself. I could see her hoarding some golds. I don’t care. There’s a lot of them and I don’t think Julia will mind us taking a bit of gold.

Two hours later, the vault has been cleaned and tidier. All the gold has been gathered in one place, and jewelries in another. Other than that, we found several magic items inside the vault.

“These are what you found? Are they good?” Julia asked since she only care about the gold and jewelries. She didn’t participate in looking for other treasures.

“Don’t know. And we also need to separate normal jewelries and accessories to magical items as well. Maybe there are some necklaces, bracelets, or rings among the jewelries that have magical attributes. I will leave them to you. If you find anything that suit us, tell us. We’ll just take these items for now,” I said.

The items we found are a halberd, two axes, several daggers, magic cloak, and some other items that are obvious to be magical items. The rest are not that obvious, so I will let Varadis appraise them.

For me, the halberd, axes, and daggers might be good. I’ll test them later after I checked the other treasure vaults. Though I will bring them all back to Cassau to have Jeremy appraise them first.

About Jeremy, I heard that he is now dating Sam. Well, I don’t care much abotu them. I only need them to take care of the business and make me richer. It’s just that I think it has been so long since the two of them were mentioned. Many people might have forgotten about those two.

...I was wrong. I’m the only one who forgot about them.

Anyway, I transported all that I think could be useful back to Cassau, while the rest will be taken care of by Varadis Kingdom. But before I could transport the gold to Varadis’ warehouse where they would be appraised, something happened.

A group of people entered the vault and tried to rob us. They are most likely bandits who have been using this mountain as their base.

“Oy, oy, oy! There’s this many treasure in this mountain? Give everything to us and we may let you leave this place with your lives. Except for those beautiful women who will stay with me for the rest of their lives! Ahahaha!”

A rough looking man who just entered suddenly said that and laughed. And his followers behind him also laughed.

...Are they serious? They might have a hundred men coming. But they don’t even know us?

Here, we have the champion of the tournament and two other participants as well. And the people Julia brought are the soldiers of this kingdom. Those bandits don’t know who they are dealing with.

...This look fun! Let’s see how the others will react.

“Oy, oy, oy! Speechless already? Let me tell you this, I’m an expert level fire mage! I can burn everything here in an instant!” the bandit leader said.

Oy, oy, oy! Don’t say anything about being expert level fire mage with Julia here. She’s the best fire mage I know. Only Angela’s fire burn stronger than her.

“Oy, oy, oy! If you don’t do anything, I will use force!”

Stop with the “Oy, oy, oy” already!

“Well, who wants to take care of them?” I asked.

“This is Varadis’ territory. I’ll do it,” Julia said.

And so, Julia stepped forward.

“Oy, oy, oy! A beautiful girl like you want me to spar your life? If you became mine, I will let the rest of you leave. Maybe.

“Julia, can you kill him so he won’t say another oy?” I asked Julia.

“Easy.”

Without any warning, Julia unleashed powerful fire magic toward the bandits. Killing the leader’s followers while sparing the bandit leader. As for us, Julia made sure that we won’t get hurt by her magic.

“...”

The bandit leader just stared at Julia with a blank face. He didn’t expect that there’s an expert level fire mage as well here.

“This is the real power of an expert level fire mage. Show me yours,” Julia challenged the bandit leader.

“...I’m sorry. I’m just an advanced level fire mage. I lied. I’m sorry. Please spare my life,” the bandit leader begged for his life.

“There might be more bandits nearby. Everyone check the surrounding. It’s too close to the city and they might cause trouble even if they’re weak,” Julia ordered the soldiers.

Everyone then left the vault. One of the soldiers also grabbed the bandit leader. He will probably be questioned. Well, I don’t care.

“Too weak. I thought there will be something interesting happening, but they are too weak. Anyway, I just need to transport everything here, right?” I asked Julia.

“Yes. Will you go to another vault right away?” Julia asked.

I looked at the others and made a decision.

“We’ll stay in that city for a night and we’ll go to the next country tomorrow morning. It’s been a while since we’re taking it easy. And I have never been to that city before. And there are some cake shop that Victoria is interested in when we passed them before. What about you?” I asked Julia back.

“I’ll return on my own after I take care of some unfinished business here. Good job, everyone. Thank you for making my country richer,” Julia said.

“Don’t worry about it. After giving me so much trouble, it’s normal for Timmy to give everything he had to me. Now, let’s destroy this place,” I said.

We left the empty vault, and Kayla and Angela destroyed the vault. Making the tall mountain shorter. There will be some commotion later in the city, but I don’t care. For now, it’s time to go get some meal.
