Chapter 45: Eye Opening
Now that Solomon was here Lake wanted to see what a normal day for him was going to be like. Lake still hadn't made his mind up if he was going to stay here yet. Depending on how this went, Lake might leave, or to be more specific escape. "So what are you going to do today?" Lake was planning to just shadow Solomon today.
"Well I've been studying an advanced application of Alchemy called obscured brewing. I wouldn't recommend you trying to learn this until you have more experience." This one sentence had kind of ruined Lakes' plan. "Ok, what would you recommend for me to read?" Lake knew Solomon was probably much further into Alchemy than he might ever be.
"I would recommend this recipe book. You should look through it for a good recipe that you can brew over and over again, so you can unlock your next two skills." Lake guessed Solomon was right. Lake still didn't even know how good he was going to be at Alchemy. "Alright, is there a section in this book about poison?"
Lake needed to make poison for the bonus Exp. "Yeah, are you planning to focus on poison?" Lake was planning to focus on poison so he nodded. "It's pretty rare for someone to pick their career path this early, Does your skill have something to do with poison?" Lake guessed his question had given it away.
For some reason Lake felt like he had made a mistake revealing this to Solomon up until just now Lake hadn't felt anything threatening from Solomon he had just seemed like a nice kid but now Lake felt he was being looked at like he was food. Lake had been fooled by Solomon's acting and if his senses weren't so good he would probably have continued to be.
After Lake thought this he felt Solomon go back to normal almost like nothing happened. "Sorry for prying, it's always interesting when someone with a new Legendary skill comes to the guild." Lake also pretended like he hadn't noticed Solomon's shift, and said. "It's fine, maybe once we know each other better we can share what our skills do."
Lake felt this was the best way to handle this. Lake bet the fact that people always said, keep your enemies close, there was some truth to it. "After I find a recipe what should I do?" Lake found this to be more important than whatever dumb games Solomon was trying to play with him. "Bring it to your servants."
Lake remembered Lucas had told him something similar yesterday. "Should I practice in the Lab, or is there a better place?" This was a dumb question Lake was just messing with Solomon. "No, the Lab is the best place." It was also the only place; Lake planned to say dumb stuff in front of Solomon from now on, maybe he would underestimate Lake if he ever tried something.
After Solomon answered his question Lake saw him go and grab a book off a shelf. Without thinking Lake marked it he would be interested to see what Solomon was reading later after he was done with it this would probably lead to nothing but Lake could still fact check what Solomon had said earlier.
If the book wasn't about obscured brewing Lake would know to never believe anything Solomon said. Lake had no idea why Solomon would lie about this but it was still fun to be nosy. After justifying himself Lake opened his book and flipped to the section about poison. Finding a simple recipe that was said to be very cheap and effective, Lake wrote it down on some paper.
Leaving the library after putting the book back where he thought it went, Lake Walked to his room where he left his servants. Stepping inside Lake saw all three standing where they always were. "Sir." Lake wondered if they always stood there, or if they had a way of knowing he was coming so they could get into position.
"Would one of you go and get these ingredients for me? Bring them to the Lab please." Lake handed them the list and closed the door and walked to the Lab and waited for them to bring the ingredients. "Here sir. You didn't tell us how much to bring, so we brought as much as we could carry."
Lake hadn't even thought about specifying amounts, but he was pretty sure this was enough for him to reach level ten. "Ok thank you. Master Lucas said one of you is an Alchemist, which one is it?" Lake was going to have whoever it was get the station ready between rounds. "We're all technically Alchemist's sir."
"Ok in that case you set up the station for me." Lake just pointed to the guy who had carried him up the stairs yesterday. Lake racked his brain for a second and said. "Jason." Lake had accidentally called Jason you, like he didn't remember his name or something which made him seem rude.
"Sir, we can all set up stations so you can have three potions brewing at a time." This was a good idea, Lake had picked an easy recipe so the setup was probably going to take longer than brewing the potion. With this he would be able to go from station to station and just pour in the ingredients, stir it for a few seconds and move on.
"Ok let's do that." Lake wondered how much Exp he was going to get from each potion, so he pulled up his current progress in the Alchemist job.

"So close." This potion had given him 120 Exp, so 15 before the X8 multiplier. Lake wanted to laugh because all his Unique jobs were so easy to level up. Lake was pretty sure this was going to take him less than an hour to get all the way to level 10. "Alright, let's do this as fast as we can."
After he said this Lake started doing a loop. [Level up] [Level up] After three potions Lake had already leveled up twice. And he felt something weird when this happened. Lake stopped and opened his stats.

Spell Weaver (U) Lv.1
Grants greater control of every principle, and allows for the creation of custom spells.
This Skill seemed really good and made Lake feel better even if this was the last thing he ever got from his Intelligence stat this would probably help him master magic. Stepping back from the alchemy station Lake said. "This is it for now I have to go see Master Lucas." Lake didn't tell them what the problem was because he didn't know how big of a problem this was.
Getting to the staircase, Lake ran down to Master Lucas's office. Lake really needed to ask about that mirror thing he had seen Lucas use to talk to people. Maybe he had one Lake could use, but Lake was pretty sure it was something kind of rare or hard to use because no one else seemed to have one.
Getting to Master Lucas's office, Lake was happy to see him sitting at his desk. As soon as Lake walked in Lucas looked up and put away whatever he had been working on. "So Lake were you able to unlock Appraiser?" Lake had forgotten about this assignment Lucas had given him yesterday because he had gone to sleep right after he finished it.
"Yes sir, I did it right before I went to bed." This wasn't what Lake wanted to talk about. "Did you figure out what I meant by the easiest way to unlock Appraiser?" Lake didn't even know what Lucas was talking about.
