Chapter 593: The Second Vault was Already Found When I Arrive
After playing around for a night in Varadis, it’s time to go and check the other treasure vaults. But before that, I need to know what happened in with the cult members that the troops fought.
I contacted Sonia, and she told me that most of the cult members died. Either they killed themselves, or die in the battle. So, we don’t have much information to get from them.
After that, Albert had the three spy werewolves to check the surrounding place. Anything suspicious will be investigated.
The werewolves were needed to check if there are anyone escaping from that place. Those people might have been tasked to report back about the situation. So, we need to capture them fast. Though if the cult noticed that the members gathered there failed to report, they should have known that they failed.
But still, if we managed to capture more of them, one of them at least willing to cooperate. Either willingly or being forced to do so. Though it will most likely be forced.
So far, the spy werewolves have found five suspicious people. And two of them have been arrested. As for the other three, they were being watched.
Those werewolves were amazing. Although they lacked fighting power compared to average werewolves, they are very useful. And the price for making them to work is cheap as well. Just some chicken nuggets and they will be happy.
.....
Now that I have heard of the report, I don’t think Albert or the others need me to do something anytime soon. So, I can still continue to look for treasures.
“Roy, where should we go next?” Consenza or Arturo?” Kayla asked me of our next destination.
Now that the vault in a city in Varadis has been found, we only have two places to go left. A desert in Consenza, and a forest in Arturo. And those two places are not places I can take a relaxing vacation at.
Yes, I picked Varadis as the first destination so I can have a little vacation after training for so long. As for the desert and the forest, it’s difficult to be relaxed there.
“Either way is fine. But I’ll pick the desert because I have been there before with Celestine,” I said.
“You mean back when you traveled with her to the other kingdoms?” Kayla asked.
“Yes, that time. Spot wasn’t with us yet, and there were no Blobbies in any of the three kingdoms at that time. So, we move on foot. But in that desert, Celestine used magic so we can travel easily. There were no people in that desert, so she could use any magic she wants,” I said as I remembered of what happened.
Though rather than the travel, I remembered something better.
“...Must be sad. You traveled all the way there with Celestine on your back, and you reached the desert where she can travel by herself,” Kayla said as if she could read my mind.
“Well, I won’t deny I felt a bit sad. But we still get there anyway,” I said.
While we were talking, Angela is thinking about something. And then, she realizes what we are talking about.
“Oh! You mean those huge melons were stuck on your back the whole time? I felt them a few times, but those were amazing!” Angela said.
Felt them? Like how?! Please tell me in detail!
Is what I want to say if Kayla is not here. Let’s not make my girlfriend any more jealous than this. Though I don’t think she’s one to feel jealous at something like that. I mean she allowed me to have a harem, and even persuaded some girls to be my lovers as well. I don’t know how many women she has asked.
“Now that we have our destination, let’s go!”
We left the inn we stayed at, and exit the gate. We also said our farewell to Julia who will stay there for a bit longer. Seems like old man Henry heard about some nobles making trouble here so he sent Julia to take care of them. And it was by chance that this place is where Timmy stored his treasures.
She’s strong enough to handle everything by herself, so I won’t lend her a hand here.
After leaving the gate, and walking far enough for anyone to see us, I opened a portal and transported directly to Celestine’s location who was already there. And I can see that she and the people from Consenza have found the location of Timmy’s treasure vault without my help.
“Everyone is here. I have found the vault and we are separating the gold and the magic items. Feel free to check on them,” Celestine said.
“That was quick. Well, this is a desert with nothing but sand here. And your improvement in earth magic helped you to find the vault under the sand,” I said.
“That’s right. And this place is nowhere near the place we traveled through. If it was, even back then, I should notice something strange here. There’s a giant metal vault under the desert. Any expert level earth mage should be able to notice it quickly,” Celestine said.
“You’re right. I can also feel the metal. Although you must have dug it quite deep,” Angela said.
The vault is under the ground. About thirty metes from the surface. Celestine and other earth mages have dug deep enough and created an entrance for us to enter.
Some people have entered it and as Celestine said, they are separating the gold and the magic items. Seems like we won’t have to wait long before we move to Arturo.
“Well, I guess we should be able to return home by tonight. Let’s check the items here,” I said.
We entered the vault and see many weapons stored. The weapons look fancy. As if they are not used for battle, but for decoration instead. I’ll just get Jeremy to appraise them. If they are just for decoration, I’ll just use them to decorate my house.
Though there are some weird items as well. Like brassieres and stockings. Well, I have found a magical fishnet stocking before. I guess there should be some other weird items.
“Oh! This dress look similar to the dress Angela wore in my past life. Though the color is darker than I remembered. I think the original was red or pink. Well, they might have similar effects,” I said as I grabbed a dress from the vault.
It’s been over three thousand years, but the dress still look good. And unlike what Angela wears in my past life, this dress is less revealing. What a shame.
“I can sense powerful magic imbued in that dress. It must be something amazing. I think we found something good,” Kayla said.
Well, as long as they make us stronger, I shouldn’t be picky. Still... goodbye, sexy dress. I might not see you in this life.
Though I have other beautiful girls with me. Maybe one of them will find the sexy dress and wear it. It’s better if everyone got one. Except for the male members.
This place is not like the vault in Varadis. Although it was dark, there are torches all around the vault with the flame still on. Who knows how long they have been stayed on? Let’s grab them as well.
“You’re grabbing the torches?” Celestine asked.
“Yes. I didn’t feel any heat from the fire. Just the light. Also, once we cleared everything here, we should bury this place so it won’t be used by bandits or the cult as their hiding spots,” I said.
Just like the one in Varadis, I will also have this place destroyed. Though since this place is underground, we just need to bury it again.
“Lynn must be happy since we can get so much gold. We don’t need to worry about the empire’s financial after repairing the capital,” Celestine said.
The only one king unhappy about it is Albert. Well, I don’t care about him. He can get some more money somehow anyway.
We got five torches that never die. Maybe we could place them somewhere. And we don’t have to worry about the fire spreading as well. This is an amazing magic item. Though I don’t need them because my Divine Vision already has night vision, I can give them to someone else. And the one who is happy about it is Victoria who can now have infinite source of light for when she wants to write her novels.
...I shouldn’t have grabbed these torches. I don’t know how many characters she wrote based on me. And I’m afraid to know.
“Alright, it’s done. Celestine, I’ll bring you all back to the capital. And we will go to Arturo right away. I never thought we will finish things this fast,” I said.
It didn’t take more than one hour to clear the vault and buried it back. I hope it’s the same in Arturo so we can go home right away and wait for the result of appraising all the items.
I opened a portal to Bernard’s location since his house is the closest one to the forest. And seems like he’s not the only one there. Luna and her mother, Carmen, were there as well.
All the royalties I know can’t wait until they get the benefit from the treasure vault. Or maybe they didn’t trust me enough to not touch the gold. Well, whatever. This is the last vault. I hope we got something amazing from here.
