Chapter 35

"By the way we need to find housing here," Tim said while he watched Luke count money. He was already way past five hundred copper coins and was still going. 'Do these men who gamble not have a family to feed?' he thought.

"And I still need to find a blacksmith who would be willing to teach me how to be a blacksmith," Luke said emptying the last bag of money. "Five thousand copper coins and two hundred silver coins... no gold coins, shame."

"You won quite a lot," Tim said.

Luke looked smug when he said this. "I know right, those men just didn't know how to quit," he said. "They are lucky I was bored or the bar would have been mine."

"Of course you would have," Tim replies. "So are you ready to hear the embarrassing things you did to yourself last night?" he said.

Luke was about to pack up the money when he stopped. "Huh?" he said looking horrified.
