We got another RV.
“This isn’t the same one.” I looked at the long black vehicle with white trim. "The other one was shorter.”
“Good eye.” Trent waved for us to climb on board.
This one was longer and it felt a little wider as well, or that could have been because the RV that we had stolen from the Bandits had been smaller. This one had a booth behind the passenger’s seat as well as one on the left side of the door. There were also two rows of bunks, which brought our sleeping capacity from four to eight. There were ten of us on the RV at the moment, except Ether wouldn’t sleep in her own bunk even if her name was put on one and somehow I doubted that Trent would do much sleeping either. It was a fourteen hour drive to Tres from the Cathedral and some of that was through Bandit territory. Considering that Gesai had killed the highest level Bandit in the world, after Trent had beaten him first, but still, I had little doubt that we’d have any trouble from any Bandits that might be uninformed about who we were.
“Can I drive?” Aelin bounded towards the driver’s seat, only for Trent to grab her by the collar.
“Once we take our first break.” Trent slipped into the seat. "I have to get us out of the Cathedral first.”
Aelin pouted, dropped into a booth and crossed her arms. I sat across from her and Ether slid in beside me.
“It’s a fourteen hour trip, I’m sure you’ll get to drive all you want.” I tried to smile, but that didn’t cheer her up. “Oh!” I touched my crystal band and pulled out the five-thousand All coin that Trent had given to each of us shortly before we'd been kidnapped. "Did you ever get your shopping spree?”
This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.
“No.” Aelin frowned. "Mister Trent brought us back here and then left us in the dorm. They’ve got some stuff here, but nothing on the campus.”
“So what I’m hearing is…” Ether pulled up a map of Tres. "We’re going shopping once we get there?”
“Shopping?” Gesai looked at the table and spied the coin in front of me, she scooped it up. "Where did you get this?”
“Trent gave us all one so that we’d stop farming and told us to go on a shopping spree to keep us from causing too much of a commotion in the Dungeons.” Ether took hers out to show the Assistant teacher.
Gesai looked over at our teacher. "You never gave me five thousand All or let us go on a shopping spree.” Her green eyes glared at him.
“Your class didn’t hit level three in a week.“ Trent touched his crystal band and flicked a coin at her. "But you did just go up twenty levels, so you’re going to need to upgrade your gear. Consider that my congratulations.”
She dropped the coin and the one she’d taken from me.
I was honestly surprised that the movement of the RV didn’t knock her over. Aelin leaned down and picked up the fallen coins.
“What in the six Hells?!” The blonde held up the coin. "We only get a five thousand coin and you give her this!? Where did you even get that?!”
I heard Rix chuckle as the other four women came over to look at the coin. By the time I was able to get my hands on the coin and my own, They’d all seen it and commented about how lopsided the gifts were.
I’d never seen five thousand All, so the idea that there were coin denominations higher than that blew my mind. But I would have never imagined that I’d see so much All in one place. I could understand how everyone else was so shocked.
He’d thrown her a five-MILLION All coin.
