The Insider System

Chapter 214: Hardly Working

Lake was surprised at how easy it had been for them to find enough food for the day. He had kind of expected that the people would have panic bought all of it over the last few days but he guessed they had more than enough to go around. It was a good thing though because it let them get to work on cleanup of all the monster corpses.

Instead of moving them all towards one big pile, one of the people said they should just burn them where they were and Lake thought that was a good idea because he had already done a pretty good job of burning them because of the way he fought undead. Most of them only had partial bodies left because of this so he felt moving them would be really messy.

"What should we do with the gargoyles?" He wasn't sure if they could also be revived by the Demon worshipers so he went ahead and asked the dwarves from the temple. "I don't think they will be of any use to anyone but I would like to know if the metal used for them was this color to begin with."

"Oh you mean how they look rusty in the middle." Lake had also noticed that but he had just used it as a way to know if he had cut deep enough and had thought nothing of it. "Yeah I don't think it's rust which means the Demon Lord finally found a way to make an unholy metal even if it doesn't seem to have a very strong aura."

Lake found this an interesting thing to hear from a member of the Metal Temple so he asked more to see if he could get any inside information. "What do you mean finally? Are you saying it's the first time you have ever seen Unholy metal?" If this was truly the first time this was probably a big deal to them so it was kind of cool to be here to see it.

"We've heard reports but this is the first time I've seen it with my own eyes though I wouldn't be surprised if all the higher ups already knew it was real or had even seen small samples." Nodding Lake asked. "What was stopping him from making an Unholy metal up until now?"

"Well when it comes to crafting the more enchantments you put on something the harder it is so with Elemental metals it's almost like they get a free one but there's a lot more to it than that. Divine weapons are a good example of what makes Elemental metals better since they're like a solid version of the element the gods can make weapons and such for their followers. The only thing better than a Divine weapon is an artifact but there's a limited number of those so good luck getting your hands on one."

"So is there a Metal element metal?" Lake had to know now that he thought of it. "Yep, all of them. Like I said earlier the God of metal kind of controls all of them and where you can find them. It's kind of like a collaboration between him and the other gods he works with. There's also one that's just Metal. I know that's what you were asking."

Looking around and seeing they were not done here yet, Lake went ahead and continued asking questions because it wasn't everyday that you found someone who would talk to you forever and knew stuff you wanted to know. "Are they hard to find?" Lake wanted to know if you could just go out with a pickaxe and get some or if you needed to be extremely lucky to find it.

"It depends on what type you're talking about. For example Fire metals are extremely common because the God of Metal and the God of Fire work together to spread it around but wind metal is extremely rare. There are mines you can go to to get any of them though if you're willing to pay."

Lake would probably just take them if he needed them but it was nice to hear there was a supply. He was about to end the conversation when he remembered something he had stolen a long time ago in one of the first places he broke into in this world. Reaching into his bag, Lake found it in the Booster Bag where he had placed it when he transferred almost everything to his new bag.

"Do you know what this is?" Handing the man the ingot of metal he had taken out of the desk in that office a long time ago, Lake saw the dwarf inspect it for a while before he said. "Ice Metal, pretty high level too, where'd you get it?" Lake had stolen it but he had the perfect cover for this.

"I got it off a thief. That's one of the good things about working for the Fighters guild. You never know what you're going to find after you clear out a bunch of bandits." This was all true if you considered him taking it out of his backpack as taking it from a thief. "Well if you ever get the chance you should bring it to the Blacksmiths guild to have it forged."

Lake nodded while taking the ingot back from the man to put into his backpack. He had always wanted to try blacksmithing because he felt there was a chance it would be a Unique job and thought maybe bringing this into the Blacksmiths guild could be a good introduction to how it worked.
