Chapter 100: The Interrogation Starts

"Well Hello"

Lambert was beside himself with joy when he saw the contents of the treasure chest, he slowly lowered his hand into the chest and then pulled out a sword, it had a broad double-edged blade with a small hilt in the shape of wings with stripes on either side.

Giving the blade a few swings to get a feel for it Lambert let out a satisfying sight, 'Although it's a bit on the light side, it seems to be more durable than the previous sword I used. This weapon relies on the user having more speed rather than strength. All in all, it's a good sword to have... when nothing better is available.'

'Let's see what else is in the chest'

With another peek, Lambert looked inside the chest and pulled out a large white gem. Lambert was about to inspect it when it suddenly started glowing.

"A new hand has touched the beacon. Listen and...."

Without a second thought, Lambert threw the gem of the tower into the woods.

'Damn that thing is creepy, it counts the times it's been touched. Good Riddens'

Lambert thought as he kept looking throught the chest's contents.

'So here we have some animal hides, some leather, some straps, some fur armor, about four hundred gold, two rubies, one diamond, and finally a magic scroll which seems to be for casting [Circle Of Protection]. These bandits were filthy rich, makes me wonder why they didn't have better equipment or why nobody used this sword'

Little did Lambert know that the reason was that the bandit chief was a cheapskate.

'Well anyway let's see if this armor fits me.'

Lambert quickly wore the fur armor, unfortunately, this particular piece of armor only protected the most important part, leaving Lambert's upper body still exposed.

'Well at least it fits, and I can finally get rid of these pants that are so thin they almost see throught. Now I can fight without worrying about my pants suddenly ripping and mooning my enemies to death

Having wrapped evrything into one of the furs Lambert tied it with one of the leather straps, before picking the whole thing up and going back down the tower.

Walking down the stairs Lambert saw Vadne looking throught the crates that stood next to the stairs.

When she heard him she looked up and took an apple out of the crate.

"We struck a jackpot, this barrel is about half full of apples while that one has some meat in it as for the last one it's got some cabbage. The sacks are filled with either wheat or bread"

Taking a bite out of the apple Vadne looked at the sword now on Lambert's waist and his knew armor.

"Where did you find that"

She couldn't help but ask while eying the fur package Lambert was carrying.

"I found it upstairs in a chest it must be all the loot the bandits had gathered since they began their little operation"

Vadne's face fell hearing his words.

"So while I was looking throught crates finding vegetables, you found a chest filled with gold and spoils!"

"That about sums it up"

Lambert agreed before putting the fur package on the ground.

"But don't worry since we're traveling together we will share our spoils equally, deal"

Lambert said causing Vadne's eyes to shine as she walked up to lambert and looked up at him with puppy dog eyes.

"Really"

She asked in the most adorable way she could muster. Lambert looked down at her with a gentle smile, raised his hand, and gently touched her cheek. Causing Vadne's face to go red as she shyly looked into Lamberts eyes

"No, I'm keeping evrything even the food"

"Fuck You!!!"

Vadne immediately started berating Lambert with curses, some were even very creative like she called him a troll-giant bastard of a wh*re, which Lambert couldn't help give a chuckle to, but that immediately reignited Vadne's temper and she cursed him with renewed vitality.

'What a crude mouthed young lady, Mournomon would have loved her'

Lambert thought as he blocked out Vadne's curses. After a few more lines of profanity, Vadne calmed down.

"So are you going to interrogate the bitch or can I just kill her already, dragging her along with us is really starting to get on my nerves, especially if I'm the one dragging her."

"Well why, not like I got anything better to do than torture an assassin"

Lambert said sarcastically as he approached the assassin and took down the veil she used to cover her face.

"I knew she was a dark elf"

Vadne commented from behind Lambert.

"Vadne"

Lambert said solemnly getting her attention.

"Know that what I am about to do is something I dislike, know that I will take no pleasure in the things that are about to happen and know that you will see a darker side of me, one I hate"

"Ok"

Vadne nodded and took a step back to see what Lambert was about to do.

Lambert gently patted the assassin's face while quietly speaking.

"Wake up now my little prisoner"

The assassin's eyes quivered slightly as she was regaining consciousness, but it seemed that Lambert was unimpressed as his face turned cold and his sky blue eyes turned icy.

SLAP*

Pulling back his hand Lambert struck the assassin across the face with his hand, the blow was so loud that it lifted the assassin and her chair of the ground as she and the chair fell down.

"I said wake up Hellspawn!!!"

Lambert shouted in a cold voice, his calm berry tone voice nowhere to be found instead replaced with the cold voice of an inquisitor looking for heretics.

The blow rattled the assassin's brain as she immediately woke up, spitting out a mouth full of blood and broken teeth shards.

Before she could even gain her bearing she felt a tug on her hair.

"AAAhhhh"

She screamed as something picked her up from her long beautiful black hair. She was lifted off the ground while still bound to the chair, hanging on nothing but her hair.

After being lifted she could finally see the face of her assailant as she was lifted until their eyes were level with each other. He had a long full beard and shoulder length silver hair, his face was cold and his eyes icy.

"Welcome to hell girly, where the best times are the times I ask questions."
