840. Inside The Chest

The metal chest was rusted shut and it took Walker, Gil, and the wandering blacksmith together to get the hammer and a chisel the wandering blacksmith brought in to the opening. The three held the chest in place while Midnight and Si put all their weight on the chisel to pop open the top in a large cracking sound. Remey was startled since she was watching the cave entrance but did not freak out once she realized the sound. Instead, she stole small glances to see what had been found. 

" It's just as I expected. It's full of rocks." Gil was activating as if he had known a great secret all along. But in reality, they all knew it had to be ore inside the chest. 

"Gil, you may be a genius among men." Even Su couldn't help but throw some sarcasm at Gil after his bad joke.
