Chapter 86: Mobile Home
Now that Lake was done, he did the best he could to make sure he cleaned his mess up, and activated the purifying crystal to make sure any small particles were cleaned from the air. Once all that was done he left the Lab to see his servants had been standing in the hall the whole time. "What are you three doing in the stairway?"
Jason, who seemed to be the leader of his servants, held up some bottles and said. " We were on standby in case you needed help." Lake guessed these were the antidotes for the ingredients he had been using, because he hadn't told them he was immune to poison.
It was nice they were being so thoughtful without him even needing to ask so he said. "Thanks for your hard work but I'm fine. Would you three mind putting the ingredients back where they go? Once you're done you can have the rest of the day off because I'm leaving again."
Waving bye, Lake started downstairs to find Lucas who was back in his office. Lucas was really busy so Lake said. "I need a cart, and a guard to drive it." Lake was hoping Lucas would just ok it without any questions because it was such a simple request but he said. "We're low on carts at the moment because a lot of them were stolen during the evacuation."
"Is that a no?" Lake really needed the cart so he could stay outside of the guild for long periods of time so if Lucas was saying no Lake was going to have some problems. "I'm just asking what you need it for." Lake was fine telling Lucas, he had just been hoping to not have to spend so much time talking to him.
"Yesterday when I was looking for a place to sleep I found every room in the city was full because of all the refugees. So last night before I fell asleep I thought a cart would be a good place to sleep until I can get a room." Lake also thought it would be useful to have a driver that could bring him places at night while he slept, but he didn't mention that part.
"Why don't you just come back to the guild at night like you did last night?" Lake realized Lucas didn't really know about all the people that had their eyes on the guild at all times, and he probably didn't care even if he did because they were outside, so it didn't really matter to him.
"It's kind of dangerous to just walk outside on foot. There's a lot of people out there trying to gather information, and last night when I was coming home I was attacked." Lucas didn't seem too surprised to hear this but Lake could tell he wasn't happy about it.
"You can have a cart but you have to bring it back in a few days, don't just keep it forever. One more thing before you go, I got a report of two headless bodies found one street over from the guild this morning, and I have some people out investigating it, would those happen to be the people who attacked you?"
Activating Mute Lake pushed until he felt the lock snap, and the door start to open. With the door ready to open at any time Lake made sure there wasn't any visible damage to the door or the frame then opened it and walked in.
Once he was in Lake skipped the first floor and went up stairs. Lake didn't want someone coming in and seeing him as soon as they opened the door, and he figured most people would keep the good stuff upstairs if they were fortunate enough to have one, so he had more than one reason to go upstairs.
Once he was upstairs Lake picked one of the four rooms at random. It seemed to be a kids bedroom, so he skipped it and moved on to the next room. Lake figured the kid would be the poorest person who lived here, so it would be a waste of time.
Opening the next room, Lake found something more interesting. There was a desk and a few tables packed high with books and equipment. Lake walked over to one of the tables, and inspected one of the smaller pieces on it.
It was a metal ring but not the kind you would put on your finger; it was more like a big coin with a hole in the middle. Reading its description Lake learned it was a magic item that helped with identifying what things were made from, and you held it up to your eye while letting it take your mana in to make it work.
Lake could think of a lot of ways something like this could be useful so he put it in his bag and moved to the next item on the table. Seeing it was also a tool used for observing things, Lake just grabbed all five that were on the table. there was on point in checking them one by one.
Moving to the desk, Lake opened all the drawers until he found one was locked. He did the same to it as he did with the door and just forced it open. Lake grabbed the small box that was in the drawer and opened it to find a silver bar. It was pretty roughly forged but Lake could tell it was something special as soon as he touched it.
It gave him the same feeling enchanted items gave, so he knew it was worth taking, so he put it in his bag and moved on to the next room. He would inspect it in more detail later once he wasn't at risk of running out of time.
Opening the door to what seemed to be the parents bedroom, Lake started to look for Jewelry because he knew they must have some, especially since it seemed whoever owned the office dealt in metals, or at least studied some metals.
Finding a box in one of the drawers on the end table Lake opened it, and when he saw jewelry he dumped it into his satchel. Lake thought this was enough, and reactivated Mana Vision to do one final sweep to see if there was anything obvious that he should take real quick before he left.
Not seeing anything he went for the front door, and was back out on the street in less than four seconds.[New job unlocked Burglar] [Level up] [Level up] [Level up] Lake knew there had been one more door upstairs, but he knew the more time you spent digging around the more likely you were to get trapped when someone came home. It was best to just take the obvious stuff and leave.The source of this content is N0veII_bIn
