LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 182: A Deal for Diamonds
I finished replicating the Sex Toy of Truth and Transformation, so that everyone in the police department could have one. And I do mean everyone. Even the office workers and the female employees. This cost me around $25,000,000 in gold.
Then I called up Tommy and had him give me one of the diamond necklaces from the dragon vault that he hadn't melted down yet. It was a very old, ornate piece with very large diamonds set into it. It was probably worth millions of dollars.
I handed the necklace to Pete. "Will this work for an anniversary present? It is a little old, but it's still in good condition. It's probably hundreds of years old. I got it from a dragon hoard."
"Some of the things you say, I really don't know whether I'm supposed to believe or not, so I just try to believe all of it. Yes this will work! My wife will love this! Thanks!" Pete said.
"You're welcome. Oh and here are the sex toys that can make your junk bigger," I said, as I handed him a bag full of cock rings. I got the bag from the system menu. It was considered a clothing accessory.
"They can transform into the form of any sex toy, but I prefer the cock ring. Just put it on, and think about your dick getting bigger, and it will. You can make it smaller too if you go too big at first."
"Thanks again," Pete said. "I will distribute these. What are you going to do?"
"Isn't it obvious?" Hope said. "We're going to dig our way to wherever they're keeping the gems and jewelry."
"Well, good luck with that," Pete said. "I'm gonna go get a coffee and a croissant."
"Hey!" I said. "Go easy on Lisa. Maybe don't straight up fire and arrest her. We are literal monsters who wandered onto her crime scene with no one escorting us. Sure she way overreacted, but I can see why she did it."
"I'll do my best," Pete said. "Pete out!" Pete walked out of the vault.
"So we're going to dig our way down to the jewels? Won't that be difficult?" I said.
"Not for me. The dirt that the elementals passed through will be much looser and easier to dig through than the dirt around it, so I'll be able to find their path that way," she said.
"Ok," I said.
After about an hour of surprisingly fast digging, we came out into a massive cavern. There were four massive piles of jewels. They were diamonds, rubies, sapphires, and topaz.
"Why did they steal these specific jewels and no others?" I whispered to Hope.
"My only guess is they selected them for their hardness on the Mohs scale. Diamonds, corundum, and topaz are the hardest gems in existence," she said.
"What's corundum?" I asked.
"Corundum is the material that rubies and sapphires are made of. They're the same chemical compound, one is just red and the other is blue," she said.
"Oh. I guess I learned something new," I said. I looked around and saw no one here. They must have already done all their gathering for the day.
I manifested Midas. "We should probably gather all this up, while we have the chance," I said.
"Good idea," Hope said. She looked at Midas. "Who is this guy? He's so cute I just want to rub him."
She petted Midas for a few minutes until I made her stop. "We don't know how much longer we have alone to get this done. I need him to eat the jewels."
"Oh, ok," Hope said, taking her hands back.
I told Midas to eat all the jewels so they would go straight into my inventory. It only took him around 20 minutes. Then we climbed out of there, back through the dirt tunnel that Hope had dug. We ended up back in the bank vault.
We walked out of the front doors of the bank. The cops that were still there cheered at us. They all yelled some sort of thanks at me for the toys. I smiled and waved gently.
Hope and I got back on the Phantom, and rode away. We had a party to crash.
"Harold, do you know where and when the elementals will meet next to discuss whatever it is they discuss?" I said over my brain phone.
"Yeah, I'll send you the location," Harold said.
"How you know all this stuff is beyond me," I said.
"Mothman dude. It's part of the myth. They always show up around disasters and tragedies. It's just that I always know something is going down when it's going down. Don't worry about it," he said.
"Ok," I said. "Thanks for the info. I'll talk to you later."
He sent me the location. It was the same auditorium the dragons had blown up two or so days ago. How the hell was it operational? It had massive holes in the ceiling and walls, and a section of roof fell onto some of the rows of chairs.
They should still just be clearing up the wreckage. Not renting it out again. I figured I'd find out why they were doing it so early when we got there.
When hope and I showed up to the underground city that the dragons and I had rampaged in, we were greeted with pristine buildings and streets that looked nicer and cleaner that they did before.
Everything was in good shape. Even the auditorium. It was back to the way it was when I first saw it. I wondered how that was possible.
I stopped a guy on the street who looked like he was made out of cotton candy and said, "How is this building fixed already? It was destroyed just a few days ago."
"That's dwarven engineering for you. They can get construction jobs that would take years done in days." He walked off after that comment, holding hands with a watermelon.
"I hope they don't have kids," I said, looking at the couple.
"Don't say that! That's horrible!" Hope said slapping me on the arm.
"Yeah but think about their kids. They'd be watermelon flavored cotton candy. Bleh!" I said.
"Oh my god. You never stop joking, do you?" Hope said.
"Nope. Not even at weddings and funerals," I said. "I'm kind of the worst if you haven't already figured that out."
"I hadn't but I'm learning," Hope said, grabbing my hand and pulling me towards the entrance to the auditorium.
