The Insider System

Chapter 406: Not My Problem Pt.2

After Lake told Millie he would use his skill again to see if he could sense her cousin the next time he left the spire he hadn't stayed for much longer. He didn't need to sleep yet, but Lake could tell by how she looked that Millie needed to, so sticking around could have possibly annoyed her.

Staying on Millie's good side was one of his top priorities until someone else could make better food than she could. "What should I do until it's time to leave?" Lucas and he wouldn't be going out for another ten hours, which was a lot of time if you were impatient.

After thinking about it for a while, Lake decided to get his map because he would probably forget to do it tomorrow until they left the city, and by then, Lucas probably wouldn't want to turn around being short on time.

Lake also felt seeing the people in town would be interesting because of what happened in the sky above them. The faces and the things they were saying should be good for him to hear since it would tell him how safe they felt, and he could use that information to decide if going out was a good idea.

He didn't think what he had just watched should affect them in any real way unless the giants had been told to go on a rampage now that the trade was over. He didn't think that would be the case, though, since as far as he could tell that would give the other gods a worse impression of the Demon Lord.

Walking into Lucas' office, Lake saw the man was working and didn't stop to talk since it would eat into their time later if he distracted Lucas for too long. On the elevator, Lake had his first real look at the conditions his servant was trying to bring him food through earlier. People were everywhere, and he was sure it was worse during the action as people tried to get to somewhere they could see outside.

Lake knew his servants were under the effect of the loyalty curse, so he was sure they didn't mind what he had done, but Lake still made a note that he needed to apologize to himself. Walking outside, Lake made sure to have his badge prominently displayed on his chest so any Demon Worshipers who saw him would leave him alone before he started walking towards the Adventurer's guild.

On the way back to the guild, Lake started to look around with Mana Vision because he still had around nine hours left and didn't want to pass them all inside the guild building. There were things he could do, like brew a few other poisons for use in combat, but he preferred being outside of the guild as long as it was safe.

Lake was pretty sure the Demon Lord had no plans of killing everyone in the capitol now that he had seen the Demon Worshipers in the guild building doing almost nothing to stop people from taking jobs and receiving their money for jobs they had completed.

The Demon Worshipers seemed to want to make sure no one was planning to give out missions that they didn't like, which he felt was okay for them to do as the new leaders of the Domain. He was sure the Temple of Light had been doing something similar until now, and everything had been fine.

It would only be a few weeks until people got used to the new order, and things like that would stop happening as often, and before much time passed, it would be like how it had been when the Temple was the one in charge. The only sight difference was instead of having to worry about the Demon worshipers attacking the city and killing everyone, you would worry that they would kill everyone randomly.

Ten minutes later, Lake finally saw something that looked valuable and started planning a way to get to it. It was a bit weird to be trying to steal something just because he had some time to pass, but as long as it was worth a bit of money it could start his progress to the next million.

Of course, going to pull another big job like the one he had pulled in the Earth Domain would be the best way for him to make money, but he could do that after he and Lucas finished what they would be doing later.

It was a little soon for him to leave again, but Lake wanted his next mission, and he didn't think the Insider would give him one til he had enough gold to get its attention. Lucas probably wouldn't mind him going out either since he had told him about his ability to gather high-level items and had said he would give some to the guild if he found anything he didn't want.

Clearing his mind of extra thoughts and activating Mute, Lake jumped towards the wall of the building that held the item he wanted and used Ghost Touch to go through to the other side. Once inside, he quickly jumped again and landed right next to the thing he was here to take.

It had taken a while, but the new increase in Perception had finally started to show its effects. Yesterday, before he had gotten Mizzly's Bow, he would have had to slowly walk through all the walls in fear that he wouldn't mistime when to use Ghost Touch, but his increased reaction time let him move much faster without his eyes lagging. He had just jumped twice and moved through five walls right to where he was trying to go all while avoiding the person that was inside the building.
