Chapter 61: The Great Escape
Lake could see that Lucas knew it was a bad idea and it would be best to keep Lake in the guild for a few more years. Which had been his plan from the start but getting Amanda's journals back was one of his life's ambitions and his want for them was much higher than his worry for Lake's safety.
"How close is it?" Lake didn't think he would be able to tell if it wasn't for how high he was right now even the bottom floor of the spire was able to give him a birds eye of the surrounding area. "Does your room have a balcony?" Lake wanted to see if he could see the exact building if he was outside.
Lucas nodded and led Lake outside. Once they were outside Lake could tell he had been right that some of the journals were in the capital; the only thing was the closest was actually in the royal palace. "The closest is in the palace, but there is another in the city in that direction." Lake pointed at a nicer section of buildings that were pretty close to the guild.
"It's probably in the hands of one of the former guild members. My guess is they went their own way after the collapse, and just grabbed anything they could on the way out. It would explain why they only have one." Lake could see a few other ways someone might get one but Lucas seemed fired up, and Lake didn't want to interrupt that just so he could look smart.
With Lucas like this there was a good chance they would be heading out into the city. "I'll have one of the carts readied. We'll drive around until we get close and after we locate it I'll send someone from the Thieves guild to retrieve it." Lake was surprised to hear Lucas say he was going to have the Thieves guild do something for him.
"Why don't we just do it ourselves? The journal belongs to us anyway." Lake needed to actually get out of the cart to escape. "Because we don't specialize in stealth, if we go it will just lead to a fight. It isn't a good look for me to act like a thug, especially when I can send one." Lake thought this was a cool line, and he might steal it one day if he could.
Lake guessed he was just going to need to build more trust with Lucas. This was just going to be the first of many trips he and Lucas would be making to get all of the journals back, so eventually he would be able to get Lucas to get out of the cart. That was really all he needed one time and he would be gone.
Lake already had a plan for the fact that Lucas was much faster than him; he was going to use the core he had ripped out of that assassin to change his face. Lake had yet to test this skill because he hadn't felt he was actually alone since he had unlocked it, and he didn't think showing off the one skill that made him more stealthy was a good idea.
"How are you going to get the one in the palace?" Lake wanted to know if the thieves guild was about to make a killing or not. The amount of man hours it would take to blind search the royal palace for a book was crazy. Lucas seemed to catch on to what Lake was getting at because he said. "I'll take you with me the next time I see the king. With the feast it will happen in the next few days, so be ready." The source of this content is N0veII_bIn
"The more I can narrow down the location the less work the thief will have to do." Lake bet escaping the palace would be a lot easier considering it was much smaller. If Lucas took his eyes off Lake for even a second he would be gone. Seeing Lucas was about to put the amulet back on Lake had an idea and marked it.
Lucas wore it all the time so it was the same as marking him. Now Lake would be able to see where Lucas was at all the times, including when he was escaping. Lucas didn't seem to notice the mark because he didn't react and just finished putting the amulet under his shirt. After he was done Lake saw Lucas take out the mirror thing he had spoken into the first day he was here.

Lake considered using his free points to increase it but stopped himself because it still wasn't enough to matter. What he really needed to do was find a job that gave a lot of agility points naturally and max it out in the dungeon. Which should be easy enough to do in the library later they had plenty of books about job combinations, and synergies. While that wasn't what Lake needed it still would still have the info he wanted.
Lake saw Lucas reappear in his office and get back on the elevator a few minutes later the doors opened and Lucas said. "You ready?" Lake nodded, he wanted to get back before it was too late and he was tired, so he could spend some time in the library. Lake knew the guilds carts were fast so this should be quick.
