Chapter 271: Where Are They

It took no time for them to return to the fortress since they were still on the edge of the area around the fortress. As the gate opened Donny Looked back at the faces of their people to compare them to the faces that the other team had when they were coming back from their first mission.

Like he expected they didn't look as happy as the other team did but they really just seemed confused. He was confused about what happened as well and he was sure the ones who had seen it first hand had told the others and since they hadn't seen it they were trying to picture it in their minds.

Turning to Keel Donny asked. "Are we heading to the command room again or are we going to do this where everyone can hear what's going on?" Keel shrugged and said. "It's up to Rigbis. He hasn't called us up yet though so it's probably going to be here."

Donny was happy that he probably wouldn't have to repeat everything that was said in the private meeting to their people. After a minute of just standing there Donny finally saw Rigbis and all the people that followed him around come into the room. "So what happened exactly? Anyone who saw it feel free to answer."

Hearing that Rigbis wanted to hear it from someone who saw it, Donny pointed at one of the people that had been in the basement and asked. "Who found them first?" Seeing them point to another person Donny went over and said. "Tell Commander Rigbis what happened."

Donny had stepped in because he knew it would take a while for someone to step up to talk to Rigbis if they left it up to them. No one liked that much pressure and most people would avoid it until they were called upon. "Well we had finished clearing the building and were going to see what was going on downstairs since we hadn't heard from the people that went down there and they were already trapped when we found them so I don't really know anything more than anyone else who saw it."

Hearing the first person who saw them didn't have any extra information Donny looked back at Rigbis who was already talking to one of the people that was always with him. After a while of this Rigbis said. "I'll be sending a small team to investigate in a few hours after we can confirm it's safe to go back out. You two follow us"

...

"Alright this is around where they should be." Letting Helain down Lake pointed towards the closest rock and said. "Go ahead and take a break while I try to see if they're close." Casting Fly Lake rose into the air and started to look around for any obvious groups that could be who he was looking for.

Not seeing anyone, Lake sunk back to the ground and said. "If they're around they're moving while hidden. He could easily find them using Detector so he wasn't worried about that part but he knew there could be a problem if he found them since they would most likely attack if he startled them.

He needed to find a way to make them realize they weren't dangerous before they realized they had been found. Thinking his face would probably be the best way to get this done since a few of the people that would be in the group should have been at the meeting that he was at with Lucas Lake took off his helmet and put it into his bag.

With this he hoped they would know that he was there to help and not try to kill him or Helain as soon as the two groups saw each other. "Are you ready to go?" It had been around the same amount of time as their other breaks they had taken on the way here so he was sure Helain was ready to move again. "Will I be walking from now on?"

Lake nodded and said. "Yeah me carrying you is over unless we figure out that they aren't anywhere close to us." Helain seemed really happy as she stood up and they started to walk on the road. "So you said you work for the Fighters guild and the Alchemist guild, which did you join first?"

Lake was fine with talking since it would help pass the time so he answered in a way that Lucas would like. "The Alchemist guild but since they're neutral I had to join the Fighters guild to be able to fight the Demon Worshipers." Lake made it sound like he had heroic intentions when he had joined the fighters guild with the hope that it would get back to the Temple Head of the Metal Temple.

"So are you an Alchemist?" Lake nodded and said. "Yeah but I don't particularly enjoy it." Lake really preferred being outside even if it came with increased danger. "I've heard that it can be really tedious and that it takes a curtain type of person to brew potions all day but I've also heard it's one of the easiest ways to make a fortune so most people are willing to suffer through it for the money."

"Yeah that's probably true but there are other ways to make a living." Lake had made more money killing bandits and stealing than he had making potions so he really didn't think boring himself to death was worth the possibility of making the gold he needed slightly faster. If he was already an expert maybe he would have made a different decision but it would probably take him years to read all the books that were in the beginner library of the Alchemist guild.
