Chapter 171: Cleared

Lake stayed in the residential area and began to run around at a high speed. Because of the stone nature of everything he was able to run without kicking up a large amount of dust like he usually did outside and with Mute the only way someone would notice him was if they happened to see him with their own eyes.

Once he finished running through the few neighborhoods that actually had a lot of people in the houses, Lake went up onto a roof to look for a new area to comb. Lake found he was pretty close to the outside cave walls so he figured he could just head out there and slowly move his way in.

It would probably be the most efficient way to check the whole place which he needed to do if he wanted to be sure. Once he was at the cave walls Lake started to do loops of the city slowly moving inwards as he went. After a while he had already reached the center of the city where the market was with no signs that there were any Demon Worshipers here. The chapters is up by N0vEI__bin

Lake saw this as a worst case scenario because that meant he would pretty much be useless for the rest of today. He guessed it did give him some free time though and since he was inside a city he figured he might as well look for the thieves guild so he could start stealing things. It was unlikely their main base would be here in this exact tier but he was sure there would be at least one person buying things for the Thieves guild.

Setting his detector to look for thieves, Lake started to run around again like how he had done it last time. It didn't take long for him to realize the problem with his current method so he stopped to set the detector to something that wasn't a common job a lot of people had. Going with fence, Lake started over and was happy to see the skill was smart enough to know he didn't mean the kind of fence one would have in their yard.

After a while Lake passed a house and saw a golden dot appear inside. Deciding there was nothing wrong with not saying anything to them before he brought stuff to sell, Lake went past the house like he hadn't even seen anything and started to look for a good place to steal things from.

After a few feet Lake remembered a skill he had gotten recently and read it before activating it.

Lake felt an odd click as he was opening the door and instead of inspecting what had caused it he just assumed it had been some type of alarm and ran away. Once he was sure he was far enough away he looked back and saw he had been right to run because the home owners were now at their door.

Lake hadn't really put together what the mechanical nature of the elevator had meant until now. Usually when he was breaking into somewhere he wasn't worried because he couldn't be sensed by magic because of Trespasser but these people probably had mechanical alarms that he would have to not trigger if he wanted to get inside their homes.

This and the fact that he was sure these people were going to alert the authorities made Lake think he should probably just give up for now until he found a way to get past these alarms. His old method of going through the roof would probably work; the only problem with that was he was going to have to get through thick stone if he wanted to do it that way.

He knew he was strong enough he was just worried about what would happen to the rest of the building if he tried to smash a hole in the stone. The last thing he wanted was for him to collapse half of the building and kill the people inside. Having to dodge the investigation he was sure would happen would be something he would be thinking about at all times in the back of his mind and that would be annoying.

Using Marks Of Interest Lake looked to see where the others were. They were all still working and he wasn't surprised because not that much time had passed since they had split and Freed had told them to go for as long as they could so he needed to find something to pass the time. As he was thinking he couldn't help but think he should have read more books on elements because he was sure Earth Magic would be really helpful down here.

He could see what people could do to stone with Earth magic everywhere he looked in this city and he was sure he would be able to pass through their houses with ease if he had learned at least the basics of Earth magic. With a bit more thinking he realized he had actually learned Earth magic a bit because during his Wind magic lessons he had learned about the solid principle he was sure the earth element would be based off of.

He was actually good at using the Solid principle as well so he was sure he could fumble his way into learning Earth magic right now as he waited for the others to reach the same conclusion he had. The first step would be for him to gather some earth mana and apparently he was in a good place to do so.

Feeling his way through the natural mana in the environment It didn't take long for him to lock on to what he was sure was earth with what he knew about it from books. Seeing its dark brown color Lake knew he was right and once he got a small cloud of it around him he got the noise that told him he had a new job.

[New job acquired Earth Mage]

Lake switched his job to earth mage and started to gather the mana he had gathered into his hand to unlock the beginner spells. Once he had unlocked spells called Earth Wall and Stone Throw Lake moved to his next objective of trying to use this earth mana to shape the actual stone he was standing on.
