Chapter 114: A Day Of Constant Fights

That night after the fireball had hit the barrier the fight had ended soon after and Lake had gone inside and gone to bed after he said goodbye to Millie. When he woke up one of his servants informed him of three things. The first that Mille had just knocked at his door and the second was the reason she had knocked. There was another fight happening and she was hoping he would let her watch like he had last night.

He had no problem letting her in but he couldn't stay because the third thing they told him was Lucas had asked to see him. Lake bet it was a follow up to him offering to help with anything the guild might need done. Flying down to the office, Lake walked in and sat down. He had gotten in the habit of sitting down in the same chair every time he talked to Lucas, and it didn't really matter how long he was going to be there, because the way he saw it there was no good reason not to sit if you could.

Lucas didn't seem to be busy anymore because all he was doing was sitting and staring at the shelf that had the two journals on it. After a while Lucas asked him. "Have you finished leveling Alchemist to level ten?" Lake remembered that he had never told Lucas about that because when it had happened he had still been planning on escaping, and he thought if Lucas saw his other two skills were legendary Lucas would have increased the amount of security on him and that would have made it harder to escape.

Now he had no plans to go anywhere because the guild seemed to be the safest place a person could be and he and Lucas had reached an agreement where he could go outside whenever he wanted. "Yeah. Sorry, I forgot to tell you with everything that has been going on." Lucas went over to a shelf Lake knew had the skill books he had seen the first day he had been here.

"What rarity are you two new skills?" Lake had long ago realized Lucas was trustworthy so he was honest and told him. "Both of them are legendary." Well not exactly honest since one was actually Unique but Lucas had told him that he shouldn't really ever mention that, and Lake was pretty sure Lucas would want him to lie even if it was to him because it would be good for the guild if no one found out about him being super special.

Lucas didn't look too surprised as he moved from the shelf to the pedestal that held the Legend of Legends which was the book that held all the Legendary skills the guild knew of. Lake watched as Lucas undid the seal on the book and headed back to the table. "Alright what's the first new skill called?"

Lake could see the smirk on Lucas's face as he said that last part but they both already knew Lake wasn't normal so there was no need to have an actual conversation about it. "Alright next skill, What's it called?" Lake was less familiar with this skill so he had to look before he answered. "It's called Concentrate."

Lucas held his hand over the book and said. "Concentrate." Once the book finished flipping to the page marked Concentrate Lucas read out the description. "On activation, increases the effect of targeted potion by decreasing volume and stability. It looks like we have had three members in the past who had this skill, but none are still around. It is certainly a useful skill, but lowering stability will affect shelf life and how long the potion affects whoever it's used on."

Lake was happy to finally know what the stability thing meant because he had just assumed the potion had a chance of exploding or something. "Well now that we are done with that I can place you in the place the guild needs you the most. We always wait till people hit ten to place them because it saves us from having to reassign them, and it's good to have free time when you are trying to level up a job like alchemist to read and such. It's much different from a job where all you need to do is kill a few monsters and boom you're at level ten. You actually need some knowledge to successfully reach ten."

Lake nodded it was true Alchemist was probably very hard to level for people that didn't get the massive amounts of bonus Exp he received for crafting poison. He had also spent quite a bit of time in the library reading up on how you actually made potions. "As a member of the spire you can refuse any missions I try to issue to you, so keep that in mind. The guild realized it was best to let skilled people do what they want long ago so don't worry about being forced to do anything."

Lake nodded some more; he always valued his freedom, so it was nice to know he had special privileges that protected him from forced labor. "It's pretty easy to see what field you would be most useful, so your mission is to Help Master Nancom brew the poison the guild plans to use on whatever army tries to siege us first."

Lake nodded once again, he was interested in helping a master even if it's just for the one day so he asked. "Where do I need to go? Is it in the Master Lab?" Lucas shook his head and said. "No. He is working in the Master Lab but unless he says you can join him there you will be doing prep work in a different location getting the ingredients ready."

Lake didn't like the sound of this because he had only been willing to accept because he wanted to see a master at work and it must have been showing on his face because Lucas said. "Don't worry I'll put in a good word for you so at the worst it will only take you a few days to enter the Master Lab."

Lake guessed this was enough for him to work. He had no plans so he might as well help make a giant amount of poison the guild planned to dump into the streets. He would love to see something like that happen and if he helped there would probably be a larger amount spilled into the streets making it more enjoyable to watch when it finally happened.

"This is where you need to go to start your assignment. It will be considered a day's worth of work after you prepare 40 sets of ingredients, but do a good job, don't rush things to get done faster, or Nancom will probably not let you join him." Lake nodded and said his goodbyes. Seeing where he was going was also in the spire he headed back towards the staircase to head to work.
