This was a pretty powerful armor, to say the least, it's such a waste to put it on an iron one instead of a diamond.

I wonder why is that?

It's not like they were limited by the System, and they had access to diamonds.

While it was a wired armor I decided to take it with me until I got home, it has fire resistance after all, it's an amazing enchantment in this dimension.

My inventory was already half full, so I wondered if I had enough space for what was I about to come.

Or maybe I would be disappointed.

I opened the first chest and was surprised.

The chest was filled with diamond armor, it was not enchanted so there was no point in me taking it with me, so I closed it and moved towards the next one.

The second chest held diamond tools and weapons such as pickaxes, shovels, swords, bows, arrows, and crossbows.

"I knew he wasn't satisfied with what he had, the question is what was he planning on attacking? And where does he hide his army?"

I closed this chest as well since nothing was enchanted or valuable enough for me, then I opened the third chest.

This one was filled with food, it had potatoes, berries, carrots, milk, cooked meat, and much more.

My stomach started to grumble just looking at this. Even though I just ate a few hours ago, so I took a stack of my favorite food from the chest.

Golden carrots.

While I was munching those I opened the next chest, and finally I found something that tickled my greed.

This chest was filled with items ready for battle, such as strength, speed, fire resistance invisible potions even ender pearls.

And those weren't even the best part!

Inside I found THREE GOD APPLES.

It's the first time I've held so many in my inventory and it made my blood pump.

There were also a few stacks of golden apples but I didn't take any with me since I had enough of those already.

Surprisingly the rest of the chest was filled with obsidian blocks, so I took two stacks of them since it was annoying to mine them in the first place.

This trip was already worth many times over than originally planned, even though I'll have to be more careful next time when I'm on this side of the Nether.

I opened the next two chests and it wasn't something too valuable for me, only some lapiz, books, pages, and ingredients for brewing.

I don't know what the Chief was preparing for, but I'll take wherever I can.

With every over I got ready to leave only to be stopped by my monster friend.

"What's the problem, Violet, is someone coming?"

She shook her head as no.

"Then what's the problem?"

She teleported towards the wall I came through and made a motion with her hands as if opening something.

"You want me to take down that wall?"

She quickly denied that and repeated the action, before teleporting on the other side and back a few times.

"You want me to open the door?"

This seems to be the right answer as she nodded her head quickly.

Why would she want that?

She can teleport through just fine, and I already broke the wall, or maybe the hidden door Itself.

Then it hit me, she was interested in the Redstone system, and she didn't even know what to look out for, so she asked me instead.

Unfortunately, there were a lot of ways you could make a hidden door with Redstone, actually, sometimes you don't even need that, a painting with a door would be enough.

I started to study the walls more carefully in case there was another black button that I didn't see.

After ten more minutes of looking at the walls, I gave up and wandered around until my eyes stopped at an empty cauldron in the corner of the room.

"It can't be... Is that the hidden mechanism?"

I went back towards the chests and took out a water bottle, then I walked towards the iron cauldron and poured the water down making a small puddle inside.

Suddenly I heard Redstone working beyond the wall and then the sticky pistons retracted showing a small tunnel in the corner of the room.

Violet suddenly teleported in front of me and looked at the three-block tunnel, taking and placing blocks down.

After a few minutes of trying to figure out what just happened she looked at me with confusion.

"Luckily this is a simple system so I can show it to you at home. Now let's go, I have to visit someone one last time before I'm going to leave this place."

I left through the newly made tunnel and entered the basement of the mansion, as I walked towards the stairs I stopped and saw on my right another cauldron which reminded me to cover this place so they wouldn't start searching for me too soon.

I blocked the two tunnels that I made and went back to the farm room.

There stood the two corpses exactly as I left them, but they looked a little different than what I remembered.

More skinnier than before, and I could see the difference because the belly of the Chiefman was smaller.

"Does soul sand accelerate the decomposing process?"

It didn't matter since it was moving too slow for my liking.

So I made a small tunnel in the wall and put the two corpses there after checking them one last time.

After that, I quickly placed the blocks back like nothing was hidden beyond the wall.

"This should buy me some time."

With my job done, I drank a potion of invisibility and left the mansion.

Nobody acted strangely on my way out, which made it clear to me that the Chiefman missing for a long time in the basement was a normal thing.

Once I passed from the rich area to the common area the people started to appear more and more, which forced me to do some awkward maneuvers so I wouldn't bump into them accidentally.

After some time I got annoyed by this and looked over the edge towards the fighting arena.

I checked my status and saw that I still had the fire resistance on me, so I jump over the edge.

Suddenly I felt tingling all over my body as I got closer and closer towards the body of lava, and then a huge splash was heard by everyone nearby.

Suddenly the brutes stopped from their daily lives and went close to the edge to see who fell down.

But as they waited nobody came to the surface screaming in pain.

After a few moments, everyone shrugged their shoulders and got back to their regular day.

Either some gravel fell down in the lava pool or if someone alive was unlucky enough to slip down there, it was dead now.

After everyone left on their own I started to swim towards the edge of the pool, the lava felt very heavy around me as I tried to move where I wanted to, it felt like I was trying to move liquid slime around me, it was a very tiring process.

It was a weird sensation swimming and not getting my body wet.

Finally, I arrived at the edge and got out of the lava leaving small puddles behind me.

The jump was a reckless move from me, but it got me down faster without the risk of me bumping into people on the streets, plus I wanted to do this at least one time ever since I got my hands on potions.

Down here there weren't a lot of Brutes so I could run towards the tunnels where the old warriors retired.

As I arrived there, old brutes were living their peaceful lives working on their nether wart farm or teaching young warriors.

"Hey Stonehead, do you smell something?"

"Have you gone senile Arrowhead what-*sniff sniff* yeah I do smell something."

"It smells like someone took a bath in lava. Did one of the youngsters get their hands on a potion?"

"Who knows, let's go to find out!"

The two old men walked in a hurry toward the group of training youth, and I was also in a hurry feeling a little weird by the fact that someone could smell my presence.

Once I arrived at the end of the tunnel, a door blocked my way, but nobody was around so I knocked at the red door.

*knock knock

A few moments later the door was opened, by an old-looking brute.

"Who would dare prank such an old man?"

"Nobody pranked you, old man, it's me Trader, let me in!"

"Wha-who spoke?"

Suddenly the frail old man was no more, instead a brute with a white beard that stood straight and an enchanted golden axe in his hand ready for battle.

He looked around the entrance some more, before locking his eyes on me even though I was invisible.

"How do I know your Trader?"

I decided to equip my golden armor to show that it was me, even tough invisible.

The man wasn't ready for a fight anymore but was still tense.

"Anyone can have a golden armor those days, it's not enough proof."

What do you mean anyone can have such armor?

I've only seen one person having such armor, and that guy was a jerk.

"You asked me to kill the Chiefman for two Netherite ingots."

The old man froze in place before quickly bringing me into his house.

"Come here, I don't want the whole Bastion to hear about that!"

Once he made sure that nobody in the tunnel heard me, he looked back at me.

"So Trader, you came back earlier than I expected, and why are you so... transparent?"

"Well old man, a lot of stuff happened in a short amount of time, and I kind of killed the Chief."

The old man tried to look at my face, but unfortunately, there was nothing to see.

"I hope you're not joking since my heart can't take it anymore."

"I'm not joking, here's his diamond sword as proof."

I took out the sword and gave it to him to study it.

"This is truly his sword, it has the exact same scratches and the same enchantments. I need more details about what happened!"

I then started to tell him about what happened, how I was taken from the bar, how I ate with Chiefman, how I saw him trying to kill someone, and how that ended up in the two of us fighting.

I didn't tell him about the treasure room, in case I'll be back and take the rest.

After all, there's a portal connected to this place.

The old man stayed silent as he listened to my story until I arrived at the end, then his eyes started to get wet, and fell on his knees sobbing profusely.

I didn't know how to comfort him, should I hug him or just leave him alone to gather himself?

In the end, I did nothing and waited for him to calm down.

Luckily it didn't take long as he soon gathered himself back and looked back at me with a stern face.

Only his red eyes betrayed that he was crying not long ago.

"I'm sorry for showing you such a pitiful sight, and thank you for completing my request, even if it wasn't intentional."

"Don't worry about it, I'm pleased that you're happy."

"What a fine young man, I guess you came here for the payment, let me get it for you."

"That's one part of the reason I'm here, but I also have a request from you."

"Sure, if this old man can help you with something I'll gladly do it."

"Can I borrow your crafting table?"

The man pointed at the block that I wanted and gave me permission.

With slow steps, I got there and placed the Netherite Ingot in the middle surrounded by chiseled stones.

Suddenly the image of Lodestone appeared with a red X on top of it.

"I want you to craft me two of those please."

The man looked with confusion at the recipe but didn't ask any questions.

"Sure I can do that."

I smiled at the progress I made today.
