Chapter 13: Boring Cart Travel

Lake decided to go for the tragic background, it would make anyone feel bad for asking about it and shut down any further questions. Putting on a sad face, Lake said, "I'm not really sure, my village was destroyed when I was a kid. I only came here because I heard your village had a corn festival like mine did."

Lake could feel the awkward silence and knew it worked. He smiled on the inside as the ride was quiet for nearly 40 minutes before anyone said anything. "We'll be there soon." Everyone looked relieved, sitting in the cart had been very awkward since Dan had asked Lake where he was from. One of the men who had not introduced himself yet said, " We made good time today. We might be the first cart through the gate." Lake wanted to ask about the gate but decided to just wait because everyone would think it was okay to start talking to him again if it looked like he was over what happened earlier, and he was right to wait because a few minutes later they had come to a stop.

Lake guessed criminals needed a way to switch jobs to, so somewhere there had to be some underground guilds. Thinking this made Lake realize why one of the pass holders had made it possible to switch jobs anytime, there was probably a way to tell if someone had a criminal job where people switched jobs. " The gate's opening!" Lake heard Stan call out and a few seconds Later the cart started moving slowly and then came to a stop again. " Looks like the guards are checking for someone again."

After Dan said this, Lake saw the sheet on the back of the cart be pulled open, and a guard holding a wanted poster look inside. While the guard was studying everyone's faces, Lake tried his best to get a good look at the poster. If Lake ever saw the guy he could mark them and possibly follow them to a secret guild, it was hopeful thinking but better than nothing.

Memorizing the name Nat Green, Lake moved on to the face. It was pretty easy to remember because the guy had an odd scar on his lip, Lake guessed from being punched. Lake hoped to be Lucky enough to run into this guy in the future. " What's this one wanted for?" Asked the woman Dan had called Mandy, " Murder and theft, he's the prime suspect for a crime in the capital. Alright Stan, you can go." Said the guard as he left.

Feeling the cart start to move Lake thought about murder and wondered if there was a job associated with it, maybe like killer or assassin, Lake had been wondering if Thief was the only job that had been tampered with. He would put his money on that it wasn't; if he had any that was. Turning to Dan, Lake asked, "How much longer till we get to the forest?" " Less than 10 minutes we'll be there soon." Lake was getting antsy, he wanted to get stronger so he could unravel some of the mysteries surrounding The Insider.The source of this content is N0veII_bIn
