The Insider System

Chapter 394: The Deal Pt.30

The trip to the next item was much longer and Lake eventually realized it was because he was leaving the Holy Domain. Since he hadn't specified the closest item on his list needing to be in the section of items in the Holy Domain it had brought him to the next closest item which seemed to be in the Light Domain.

He had found this out by having Detector highlight the name of the item that was closest to him which was a knife called Green Twit. If it hadn't been something he was interested in he would have probably turned around but a knife with neat abilities was something he really wanted.

Green Twit Estimated Lv.50

He just hoped the item's name didn't mean it had an effect that was going to lower his Intelligence when he used it. "What are the odds the arrow would point me right to the gate into the Light Domain?" As far as he could tell every Domain had a wall even if it wasn't on its border so him being led to a wall made sense but for it to be exactly where the gate was was very unlikely.

This made him think there was a real chance that there was a town of decent size on the other side of the gate and the person who owned the knife currently was there, possibly living in a house. He wouldn't know till he made it through this line to enter the Domain though.

When he was close to the front of the line Lake got his ring into his hand by using Retrieval. Showing it to the guard, Lake was waved through as a member of the Temple of Light. As he walked through the gate Lake saw that he had been wrong about there being a big town but there were a few buildings so he Set Detector to look for Green Twit and saw something start to glow in a building that looked like an inn.

"No I'm alright I just forgot to take money out before I left the city. I was in a hurry to escape, you know." If this guy was a strong member of the Temple there was a good chance he knew they had just handed over the Holy Domain to the Demon Lord out of necessity. "Oh, well, have a nice day then."

As the man headed back to his table there was a brief moment where Lake could have made a fast motion to touch the knife but he controlled himself and turned to finish his drink so he could leave. On the way out Lake took out the list and set Detector to find the name of the closest item that wasn't Green Twit.

Seeing the next thing was also in the Light Domain, Lake decided to go after it before heading home for the day so Lucas wouldn't be worried about him not coming home.

Ring Of Silence Estimated Lv.50

Lake had only put things he wanted onto the list if they were in other domains but jewelry was still rare on the list so he was excited he was going after one on the first day even if he already had a skill that made everything he did silent.

The book had said something about most blacksmiths not making jewelry because the same amount of time and effort could be used to make a full set of armor and Lake had no idea why that was but it seemed to be true because there had to be a reason a small ring could be so much more expensive than things like swords or armor.

An hour or so later Lake made it to the first big town he had seen all day. It was around the size of the guild district in the Holy Domain's capital which was still twice the size of the town he had taken Wilmur from. With the arrow pointing there Lake was sure this was where he was going so he entered the town and waited for the arrow to change direction when he passed the ring.

Eventually he saw the arrow start to angle down a bit which meant he must be right next to wherever the ring was. Setting Detector to Look for the Ring Of Silence Lake saw a very small thing start to glow just a few feet from him. It was probably also in a basement since it was like two feet under ground level.

Activating Mana Vision Lake saw the ring was on the finger of a person and it kind of looked like they were doing some kind of work. After watching for a while he decided they were digging and he wondered if maybe they had something like coal in their basement for heating purposes. He knew back in his world people had used to keep piles of coal around and he was sure you had to use a shovel to move it in an efficient way.
