Chapter 163: Returning
Lake had been running for about an hour at this point and he knew where he was because he had just spotted where he had found those bandits who stole the cart from the old man. He no longer cared about them but it did make him wonder how the old man and his two grandchildren were doing.
Continuing on his journey it wasn't long before Lake found the woods they were hiding in. Going into the woods it wasn't long before he found them. All three were sitting on the same log and as Lake got closer he could see all their mouths were stained green. It seemed they had taken his advice and had turned to Whanto to feed themselves.
Appearing in front of them Lake waved hi. "Your cart was destroyed by the time I found it and the horse had been eaten." Lake didn't really have anything else to say and was about to leave when the old man said. "Please lead us back to the capital, I know its dangers there but we won't survive out here in the woods."
Lake had kind of expected something like this to happen and while he found it annoying he didn't think it would be that bad. That being said he didn't want to waste his time so he asked. "What will you do once you're inside the capital? You were leaving for a reason so I doubt you have anywhere to take shelter."
"Yes it's true we have nothing to return to but it's still better than nothing." Lake wasn't going to waste his time leading people who were just going to die so he said. "You would be better off standing by the road and begging for a ride away from the city. You're pretty close to a town where you'll be able to find work and even if you have to walk it will only take you a few days."
"We would never make it this road is infested with bandits." Lake had been down this road a few times and never seen any bandits other than the ones who had taken the cart from this man and they weren't really dangerous, just hungry so he said. "I took care of all the bandits already, you'll be fine."
With that Lake turned to leave and even though the old man tried to stop him again Lake just kept going. He had truly given them the best advice he could and the rest would be up to them. Getting back on the road, Lake started to run back towards the capital. He wanted to get all his business at the Alchemist guild done quickly so he could hit the road.
"Goodbye Master Lucas." With that being done he only had one other person to say bye to. He rode the elevator all the way down to the basement where the entrance to the dungeon was. He quickly found Joy standing where she always was. "Joy." After he said her name Lake saw her react like she always did whenever the effects of the Loyalty curse was turned up so he said. "Goodbye."
He couldn't really have a conversation with her when she was like this so he rode the elevator up to the cafeteria and went to get some food for the road. This was what he was going to miss the most so he sat down and had a meal first before packing his bag with stuff he thought would keep for a long time.
Once that was done he walked into the kitchen and looked for Millie. Like he expected she was there telling her students what to do. "Hey Millie do you have any cheese lying around?" Lake knew she had continued her research on new food items so there were things around that he could ask for that might not be out in the cafeteria.
"There is a small amount on that table over there." Lake nodded and went to where she had pointed. Finding a white brick Lake cut a small piece off and ate it. It was clear she had made some progress with the flavor and being slightly greedy he stuck the whole brick into his bag. He was sure Millie wouldn't mind there still weren't that many people around who liked cheese so really he was the only person who would be eating from this brick.
"Thanks Millie. I'll see you." He got a small wave from her and with how busy she was he decided that was good enough and left the kitchen. Heading for the storage closet to stock up on potions, Lake realized he had forgotten to go to his room to see if his servants had gotten his belt yet.
Feeling too lazy to go himself, Lake found a passing servant and told them to go and ask one of his servants about it and if they had gotten it to bring it to him. It would probably take a while for this process to happen so Lake could take the time to organize his bag better. He had a lot of food inside now and he wanted to be able to carry a few of every potion.
It was too bad he didn't steal any of this stuff because he could store more of it using Booster Bag. Thinking that Lake tried to move the cheese he had taken from Millie into the Booster Bag and found he could. He guessed he had stolen it after all. With the brick of cheese in the second inventory Lake had enough room for another health potion and after packing it away he just started to wait for his servant to deliver his belt.
After a while Lake saw the servant whose name he had forgotten coming towards him with his belt. "Here you go master."
"Thank you, I'll be gone for a while so enjoy your time off." After saying that Lake started inspecting his belt. It had twelve places you could store things like bottles on it and because of the armor and the way the storage spaces had been designed you didn't have to worry about them falling out as you moved or them getting broken.
Putting it on, Lake put a few potions in it and after doing a flip to see if they would fall out Lake was satisfied and decided he was ready to go. Lake headed for the door outside while getting his map back out of his bag so he could look at it as he ran. Once he was outside he found the right road and started to Run towards the Metal Domain.
