NPC into Player: Let's Wreck This Game

Chapter 323: Opening The Vault

Mordon's face changed before he watched Bloom holding the token tighter as if he was about to summon Mora.

"Stupid player, do you think she will be there everytime you summon her?" Mordon said in a strong tone yet the next moment he vanished in a veil of smoke.

"Humph, for you she seems ready to cross the entire land to fight," Bloom calmly said while watching the smoke vanish into nothing.

"This is getting a bit out of control," Anna next crushed on her seat and tears started to swell over her beautiful little eyes.

"Don't worry too much about that," yet he calmly said, "come, I have a present for you."

"What? A gold mine?" She laughed in mockery while he grabbed her hand and led her out of her throne room.

"You really have some foretelling abilities, don't you?" he laughed and as the two exited the mansion, the scene of the giant vault blocked the two's vision.

"This" she was stupefied in place while watching the caravan and the giant vault on it. "How?" she couldn't say more than this word and he simply laughed.

"Go," he patted on her back, "I didn't open it yet."

"Do you have the key to open it?" she asked while descending the stairs and glancing all around.

"Let me crush it open for you," he offered.

"No need, I can do it," she took out a sword and started to attack the vault. Her attacks even caused the caravan itself to crack before smashing in a very loud noise.

And the guards were attracted to her the next instant, fearing something bad happened in that strange meeting.

"It's alright," she shouted while keeping cutting the hard ore of this vault off, "this vault is made out of special ore."

"I can tell," Bloom nodded, "is it special?"

"It is," she said, "from where did you get it?"

"From a traitor," Bloom simply said and she paused to glance deeply at him.

"Acting as a vigilante right now aren't you?" she laughed and he felt she was amused by his doing and not offended by it in any way.

And the dark weight of her meeting with Mordon just now vanished when the vault finally opened and exposed its content.

"Oh my god all of this" she even retreated a couple of steps while the light of the massive amount of gold, pearls, treasures, special ores, and even gears blinded her eyes.

She turned to him with a gaped mouth that made him smile. "This isn't the present I meant," he mysteriously said before taking out a ring, "this is the present."

"A ring?" she skeptically glanced at him in a weird way, "don't tell me you are trying to propose to me, right? You can't be serious!"

He suddenly realized the hidden meaning behind this move, a thing he totally missed. "Oh, that doesn't sound too bad when you say it," he laughed, "but this ring is special. Wear it and you'll know."

She hesitated before accepting it. "You know you came from a totally different world than mine, right?" she stressed on that point again, making him unable to push away the idea of having her as his.

"The two are different, I admit that," he calmly said, "but the rules are the same. The one holding the biggest stick got the girl, right?"

"Whatever," she didn't get his point before her eyes went instantly wide as she glanced at him in deep shock.

And he nodded.

"This can't be true!" she couldn't help but mutter before suddenly jumping off and hugging him in an expected move. "Thank you," she honestly said in deep gratitude.

"Now can you be my girl?" he tried to crack a joke but he got a punch in the back as a reward without her breaking the hug.

"If you managed to defend my town then you can have me as your fiance," she said and that shocked him for a moment.

"I'll make sure to hold you to this promise," he smiled as he crossed his arms around her body, finding to his surprise how soft she was.

And from far he could see the glaring hatred brimming from Tondel, but he didn't care about it at all.

"Now," he gently pushed her away to see the tears flooding from her eyes. "Why are you crying?" he couldn't help but ask.

"It's the tears of joy, moron," she punched him again in the chest and he felt he would get punched a lot in the near future for doing good and bad.

"Take all the gold," he said, "other things are mine to take."

"Even the gears? My army needs some," she puffed her lips like a small kid complaining, and that just made her more adorable in his eyes.

"Alright," he couldn't refuse her request while asking in such a way, "take some and also take some treasures as well."

"I dunno what these are for," she stood in front of some treasures without a clue. "they all need someone to appraise them."

"Don't we have an architect from the city working already here?" he asked.

"He is still on his way," she said, "plus he won't be able to appraise them. We need someone more proficient in this."

"Doesn't your town have any?"

"All in the city."

"Alright," he shook his head, "take all the treasures then and hire someone in the capital or any city," he said, "make sure to know what they are used for. I've a hunch these will aid us a lot in the next war."

"Then I won't take gears," she found herself taking a lot of what he worked so hard to get.

"Fine by me," and he wasn't polite and accepted her decision. "By the way do you have any caravan here?"

"For what?" she glanced weirdly at him.

"I have my inventory so filled at the moment," he embarrassedly said.

"How many slots do you have?" she crossed her arms in front of her chest, "don't tell me you have the basic fifty slots."

"I have much more than that," he said.

"And all are filled?"

"All."

"Damn," she laughed, "take this then," she gave him a strange ring, "this can help in storing things in it."

The ring she took off ring some bells inside his mind. "What is this ring used for?" he asked while taking and examining it closely. 'They are the same!' he was shocked to find the similarity between it and two rings he got from the two mayors he killed from before.

"I just said it, wasn't you listening," she said in helplessness, "it's used to store things inside. Consider it like external inventory. However it can be robbed, fall after you die, so don't put many things inside."

"Anyone can take it and use it after I die?" he asked, and she mistook his words for something else.

"They'll just need a stone of illumination to open it," she said, "but such a thing is easily acquired in this world. Look, even I have some of such stones."

And she took out a group of small rounded milky white beads-like stones and played with them in her hand.

"Can I have some?" he couldn't help but ask.
