Chapter-34: fire spell trap, stealing from protagonist Robert
Visva took the two sacks of dungeon coins and gave one to Robert because it should belong to him. Robert felt that it is not bad and felt that Visva can be trusted and slightly stupid. After all Visva gave him the dungeon coins for the monster he hunted.
This made him think that Visva is not that intelligent and can be used by him in different places. With his thoughts Visva felt relieved as he listened to his inner voice. Soon they came to the wooden treasure chest and Visva took the step forward.
"I will pick the lock of the wooden treasure chest. There are traps in the wooden treasure chest and I saw a trap of poisonous gas before. Fortunately I ran quickly to avoid it. We should pick the lock instead of destroying it for our safety." Visva said righteously.
Visva said as he started to pick the lock slowly. He is not in a hurry to show anything special. After few minutes the lock was finally opened and Robert wanted to come and take a look. But Visva stopped him again and used the steel spear to open the wooden treasure chest.
"Gusss… crip…. Bhooom…"
As soon as the wooden treasure chest is open he saw a flame spell shooting out. Visva dodged in time and the spell fell to the side turning into an area into a burning hell. It is not a powerful spell but the effect is no different than pouring petrol and lighting it.
Robert was really stunned. If he had opened the box just now he would have been hit by this flame spell and he would have at least burned to a certain extent. He felt grateful for Visva and this entire thought process from stunning to thinking took few moments.
Visva felt regretful that he did not let the protagonist Robert open the box and get burnt. But he was sure that if Robert opened the box nothing would happen. Also he was sure that these flames are directed towards him. This also means there are good things inside for Robert.
But it did not stop him taking a look inside the wooden box. He saw that there is a pair of gloves inside and they looked shining. He directly put his hand inside to put those gloves into his space and all the things in the wooden treasure chest.
Instead he replaced them with a bottle of water and a pack of normal bread quickly using space. When Robert noticed the actions of Visva he just came forward to look. Visva took out the bottle of water and a pack of bread from inside right in front of Robert.
Robert saw that the wooden treasure chest is actually empty. He did not open a single treasure chest till now so he doesn't know what will be inside through firsthand experience. But based on his men that filled him with information he knows that it is normal.
Yes wooden treasure chest would not yield much. He felt hungry at this time as he was going around all the time without eating much yesterday. He was already starved for two days by Visva. So he felt quite hungry at this moment.
Visva on the other hand directly gave them to Robert and said "It can be compensation for killing your goblin monster and taking its experience points. Even though they are little I cannot return them. So I will give you this.
I have my buns with me for eating later. Should we continue to look for other rooms?" Visva asked casually. But Robert snatched the pack in his hand quickly and started to eat the bread and drank water quickly.
Visva looked at it and knows that Robert must be starving. Visva also felt that being a protagonist is not easy. After all they have to face countless things like a rollercoaster ride with ups and downs along with sharp turns.
But the danger would always come close and leave without doing anything. Instead it would make him or her stronger. Yes there is pain but there are benefits along with the pain. At least they are proportional to the pain.
Most people would not get anything from the pain or hard work. Instead it was looted by someone that is greedy. This greedy person would most likely be the protagonist or a villain. So Visva hates the protagonist and villains alike.
In this current situation the villain has not appeared yet. Robert is not the only one that Visva wanted to take revenge on. There is also a villain that has not appeared yet. Visva did not show any thing on his face and they walked out of this place.
While Robert wolfed down on the bread they walked towards the boss room again and found a room where the adventurer did not come over yet. So they quickly moved in to start fighting against the goblins.
This time Visva did not take advantage of the situation. He took his time and timed it perfectly to kill the goblin after the protagonist killed the goblin on his side. Naturally Visva went to pick the lock. He got more experience than before and improved a level in lock picking skill.
Visva felt the joy while he cautiously used the steel spear to open the box. Inside there are some good thing along with a box of chicken wings, a coke with 2.25 L capacity, dungeon coins and even a minor healing potion.
Robert looked at the things that are placed inside neatly. He doubted the words of his men but soon he pushed those thoughts away and thought that they are lucky this time. He still missed the treasure chest that should belong to him was robbed by someone.
Visva took out the things and they decided to divide the things on the spot. Since Visva picked the lock he took extra dungeon coins. Health potion is common property of the team and Visva carries it. As for food and drinks they decided to eat it on the spot.
