The Insider System

Chapter 384: The Deal Pt.20

As he was heading back to the Guild Lake started to wonder when the best time to summon Credglin would be. Surely the longer he waited the better but the longer he didn't summon it the more the chance the guy had been caught and Credglin had been taken by the guards would increase and it disappearing from a guards hand was a much bigger deal that would probably cause some type of investigation.

After mulling it over for a while, Lake decided to just do it now instead of trying to wait for the perfect time which would be when the guy had run far from the city. Feeling the handle of a heavy weapon appear in his hand, Lake looked down while coming to a stop to get a good look at the thing.

Like he had seen earlier, the head of the weapon had four sides and one of them had the symbol he figured had something to do with the mace's ability to make people forget things. He was careful not to let it too close to his head as he got his eye a bit closer to see if he could tell what material this was made of.

After a few seconds he got tired of trying to do it himself and just inspected Credglin to see what information came up. Like every time he did this it took him a while to go through all the useless information he wasn't interested in and make a small list of the relevant facts.

Credglin Lv.39

Enchantments

Increased weight 20%

Shockwave

The specks of the item were actually kind of disappointing and once he realized the way this thing erased people's memories was through a shockwave that caused massive brain damage he kind of lost interest in it but he didn't see a reason not to put it into Inner Vault just to see what would happen.

Inner Vault

Lake found the effects of Credglin a bit weird for a second but he soon realized he kind of already made shockwaves by himself through his strength and speed and he was guessing Credglin wasn't good enough to give him a skill so it increasing his stats like this to help with shockwaves made sense.

Of course this made it seem that maybe the bonuses he received from the item wasn't something that was actually coming from what items he put in the vault but instead something that was decided on by the Insider. This could explain a lot if this guess was right since so far he hadn't been able to make sense of how this skill worked.

Especially the part where he had to spend gold to increase the amount of items he could hold inside it. How did it make sense that gold could increase space inside of a skill unless he was just paying the Insider to let him do it. It was almost like a bribe that wasn't entirely necessary if the Insider didn't like gold as much as it did.

Getting a weird feeling after he got done speculating Lake could tell his guess was pretty close to the truth and it made him wonder where he had been wrong. The Insider didn't seem to be about to tell him so he just moved on and thought of the other thing retrieving Credglin had made him notice.

The Holy Capitol was extremely large and there was a good chance more items on his list or in the book of interesting items could be right here in the city. So far there had been two and there was still a lot of area that he hadn't checked. This would be a good thing for him to look into once he made it back and got done reading the next book about the history of this world.

Tiff almost forgot to acknowledge the Oracle as she let go of her hand and turned to run to find the others. She did remember before getting to the door though and gave a brief wave to the Oracle of Light on the way out. She was sure the Oracle was aware of the reason she was running so she wasn't too worried about coming off as rude to the person who was the closest to the God of Light.

After a while she found where the people who had just arrived with her were moving into and this included the people she wanted to say bye to so she started with the Temple Head because she had other important things to say to her before she had to leave for the mission she had been given by the God of Light. "The God of Light told me to come and tell you directly what I'm being sent to do."

Once the Temple Head reacted to what she had said after opening the room to her new office Tiff continued while closing the door so no one could hear what she said. "I've been told to go get resources to make more Demigods to lessen how badly we'll be outnumbered and this means I'll be fighting the giants and bringing their cores back."

Tiff knew she was going too fast for what she was saying but didn't slow down because the God of Light had given her only an hour to get ready before she would be leaving and she wanted most of this time to say goodbye to the other members of the 23. "I don't know when I'll be back and I have to go right away because we're short on time so goodbye."

She had done a terrible job at explaining everything but there were other people that could tell the Temple Head what was going on so she just headed to look for Dawn who she planned to spend the most time on.

Walking out of the elevator into Lucas' office, Lake saw Lucas was back from whatever he had been doing when he passed through earlier and was now sitting at his desk working. Seeing this as a chance to quickly ask about the shoes that he wore, Lake stopped walking until the man looked up and asked. "Do you need something?"

"Yeah I'm starting to have problems finding equipment that's strong enough for me, is there a place I can go to fix this or can you not find equipment above level fifty easily?" Fifty seemed to be rare so Lake just decided that was a good level to ask about since he thought sixty would be pushing it with them being rare even in the book about special items.

"No one would sell an item with a level that high because currently the best smiths can only produce items in the fifties. All the best blacksmiths became the God of Metal's current subordinates and no mortals have filled the hole in production they left. At least that's what's believed, the Blacksmiths guild probably has at least a few people in the world that are able to make items of such a high level."

Hearing all the items that were above level fifty had been around for a while, Lake thought back to the book and could confirm the best stuff had all been talked about in the past tense like no one had seen it for a long time. This made it obvious that anyone who had these items had them hidden away so no one would come looking for them but that didn't mean he wouldn't be able to find at least a few of them.

"That's too bad, I'll let you get back to work then." Turning around Lake wasn't sure why he thought of the weird vault that Lucas had brought him to to drink the Elixir. He wasn't planning on breaking into it or anything but the places he would have to get into to find something that had a level in the sixties was probably going to be similar to that meaning he was going to spend a lot of time working on a single item.

This wasn't the best time for a long mission like that so sticking to looking for things that were around level fifty to forty was a better goal. This meant he needed to work on his list a bit and since his trip to gather Credglin had been short, spending a few hours on the list was a fine use of time because he wasn't ready to start studying again.

"Before you go I've been meaning to give you some jobs that fit you if you're looking to earn money now that you're here again." Hearing Lucas' words Lake nodded because there was no harm in taking a look at the type of tasks they had for him.

He only got half way through the list of jobs before he saw something he thought sounded like a good use of his time. "Yeah I'll do this." It was a job that would only take an hour a day in the mornings for about a week so this was a good way to pass some of his time while he lived here. "Alright I'll Tell Master Doul and he'll get in touch with you sometime later."
