The Insider System

Chapter 389: The Deal Pt.25

After watching Doul carefully fill a bottle with some of the poison for a few minutes Lake wondered if maybe the poison they made was capable of killing Doul if he accidentally touched it but before he decided if it would be alright to ask the man finished and started talking. "This should be about 2% of the poison so multiply the number by fifty before you tell me the results."

Lake nodded before taking the poison and inspecting it using Observer.

Observer (U) Lv.1

Nothing can stop you from accessing somethings information.

(allows you to see hidden details)

This was his best skill to inspect items but since it gave him Hidden details that mostly consisted of useless things no one would ever need to know it always took him a while to find what he wanted to know. Eventually he found the amount of damage this potion would do per second and doing as Doul had asked Lake multiplied by fifty and said. "The poison does 750 damage a second."

Of course you would have to drink the entire cylinder for that to actually happen to you but it was still a really high number so he expected Doul to look happy at this news. "That means it didn\'t work. All I\'ve accomplished is making a normal potion through annoyingly difficult means."

Lake wasn\'t sure how much time Doul had spent on this or what level of pity he should give the man but it ended up not mattering because before even two seconds passed Doul looked like he had before he had known his idea had failed. "That\'s alright I\'ve been keeping myself from working on anything else until I was done with this so I already know what\'s next."

Lake was happy Doul got over the failure quickly and asked. "Is your next project something I can help with as well?" He liked the distraction from boredom Doul provided while he was here in the guild so working with the man again was better than helping a new Master he wasn\'t sure about.

"Now that you mention it it would probably make more sense for me to try out my ideas you\'re able to help with while I have access. It will still take me a few days though so feel free to work on other things until I get in touch." Hearing Doul say a few days, Lake nodded and asked. "Does that mean we\'re done for the day?"

If he was done helping Doul now it would be a great time to go out to gather items that were close to the guild for Inner Vault. "Yeah, go ahead and head home for the day. Sorry if you don\'t get paid much for your time today because of our failure." Lake wasn\'t sure about the \'our\' part of the failure but he didn\'t correct Doul because he didn\'t think anyone would blame him for Doul\'s idea not working how he had wanted.

After saying goodbye to the two of them Lake headed downstairs to head into his room and get ready to leave. He hadn\'t worn all of his newest armor today and had instead gone for a robe like what all the other people in the guild wore but that wasn\'t the type of clothing he wanted to go outside with.

It didn\'t take him long to get into his armor and head down to Lucas\' office. "When I said tomorrow I didn\'t mean today I actually meant tomorrow. I should have been more clear since it had only been today for a few hours when we made the plans." Seeing Lucas thought he was only here because of some misunderstanding, Lake had been about to tell him that he hadn\'t made a mistake when he decided to just go with it.

"Oh yeah I thought that was probably what you meant. I just wanted to make sure I didn\'t miss our appointment." Lake felt that playing along would give him a reason to go out since he was already ready to do so. "Well there are still some things I wanted to do outside today so I\'ll just take care of it today so we don\'t have to worry about it tomorrow."

Lucas didn\'t seem to care about what he said at all so Lake went ahead and headed towards the elevator. Before the door closed Lucas finally looked up from his desk long enough to say. "Try to be back before night time. You\'ll probably be fine as a member of the Alchemist Guild but the Demon Worshipers have something planned for tonight."

The doors were already closed by the time Lucas finished saying this and Lake briefly thought about opening it back up and just going back to his room but he decided he could get back before the sun went down with how early it was in the day. He had over twelve hours and could leave the Domain and come back within that amount of time if he wanted to.

His goal was much closer so he felt that even with this restriction he might be able to get more than one thing today if he was lucky and didn\'t run into any problems. As he left the Guild building Lake saw the streets were actually starting to fill with people again which he had expected but it was still nice to know if he wanted he could start pickpocketing again without moving very far from the guild.

He probably wouldn\'t get much gold doing this but it was a good way to pass time if he got really tired of sitting inside and wanted to pass a few hours. Now that he was outside Lake set Detector to look for an arrow that was pointing at the closest thing that was on his list in the Holy Domain section and before long had his direction and started running out of the city.

As he passed over the wall Lake remembered the items he had stashed in the woods on his way back from his vacation and made a quick stop to see if he could summon it now. The barrier could have been gone for around a half day or more so the chances of it all still being there waiting for him to summon it all was a bit iffy but giving up on it without checking would be a waste.

Once he found a place Lake summoned the chunk that should have held all the items but when it appeared with none of the items he realized that as soon as the barrier fell this no longer counted as a container that held all the items so he couldn\'t summon them to him having never touched anything on the inside of it.

Adding finding the core that gave the immune to fire skill to the list of items Lake went back to doing what he had been before remembering the treasure he had left hidden in the forest of the Earth Domain.

As he ran, Lake once again thought of getting his hand on a map because now that he knew Detector could point out something on the page of a book he could use a map to tell him where he was heading to instead of just running until he got to it. This would be the end of him having to use magic compass as well so he didn\'t have to worry about people seeing what he was doing and bothering him because looking at a map while traveling made perfect sense.

After a while Lake entered a forest with particularly large trees and felt he had to be where Detector was taking him and when he saw a giant hole in the side of a cliff in front of him he stopped and said. "Of course there\'s a giant cave here."

It wasn\'t that big of a deal but he was in a hurry so climbing through a cave wasn\'t what he wanted to find when he had started running. He had been hoping for something like the small shack from when he had taken Credglin from the guy in town. Not all of the items were going to be that easy though but he didn\'t think this one was as bad as it could be just yet because the arrow was saying the item was in front of him not down deep in the ground which made him think he wouldn\'t be doing any climbing through any cramped spaces which meant he should still be able to run towards the.

Realizing he didn\'t even know what he was after at the moment Lake looked at the list and set Detector to look for the name of the item he was the closest to. The name four items down from the top started to glow and Lake was happy because it being this one first was good luck for him.

Mizzly\'s bow

Estimated Lv.50

Mizzly was an archer that was known for hitting targets that were hidden in various ways.

Lake had written the description himself so all it did was remind him of the facts he had read in the book that said there was a good chance the bow had something to do with Mizzly\'s ability which made Lake feel like he would get a bonus to his Perception if he put the bow into Inner Vault.

It also said Mizzly hadn\'t been seen for a long time so Lake felt there was a good chance he was about to find whatever had killed them here in this cave. Even if he was wrong about this it was probably a good idea to be careful on the way in.
