Chapter 239: 30 Potions

Watching the last of the potions he had brought disappear into the person they had picked to heal, Lake wondered if maybe he should go out now to get more. He had taken a break to let his Stamina refill and because he had wanted to take a break from the repetitive work mining a tunnel was.

His plan was to just sit around until he felt like getting back to work or taking a nap but he could probably just take a walk and pick up potions while doing so. Walking around the town was a better break anyway. "Those went quicker than I thought." They had only been able to heal eleven people before they ran out of potions.

"Yeah but with those people healed, all the people in critical condition are fine so we don't have to worry about anyone dying from their wounds anymore."

"If you had to guess, how many potions do you think you would need to heal the rest?" Lake wanted to have a goal in mind when he went back out to look. "20 would probably get everyone able to move but we would need over 30 to get everyone back to perfect condition."

Lake hadn't checked too much of the city on the way here so he was sure he would be able to get close to the 20 to get everyone on their feet but 30 was a real stretch. He might even have to go to another tier to get to 20 if he was unlucky. "Ok I'm going to go look for a while, I'll be back in around an hour."

Lake was able to walk out with Wezz not saying anything to stop him. It wasn't surprising because he wouldn't stop someone who planned to bring him a box of potions he needed either. Once he was far enough away from the base that he felt like they wouldn't have checked for potions, Lake turned Detector back on.

On the first street he walked down Lake was able to locate two health potions on bodies and one inside of a house. Taking a bag from one of the bodies to store them, Lake moved on to the next street. This street had less bodies but the houses were nicer so he had a good feeling that they would make up for the lack of people to search.

"It's good I came back here instead of moving on to the next street." Stopping Lake realized he had just started talking to himself out loud. There was nothing wrong with this, it was just that he had always been an internal monologue kind of person. "I wonder what changed?"

Like he said it didn't really matter but he did turn Mute on just in case anyone was around because he didn't want them to hear him. Walking to the next street after getting the first potion of the second set and a new bag to put them in, Lake noticed these buildings didn't really look like houses.

He had noticed that even stores and such had a part of them that could be used as a home but these looked more like warehouses. He guessed it made sense that a tier as large as this one would need a place to store all the goods the massive amounts of people that lived here needed.

He had a bad feeling about going inside though even if there was a chance he would find large amounts of potions or good food he remembered Wezz asking him to find the Demon Worshipers base. If he was them and needed the resources to keep an army he would set his base either here or in the center of town where the market was.

Wezz had his base near the market so that left these warehouses for the Demon Worshipers. Turning around to head to a new part of town, Lake realized why there had been less and less bodies as he got closer to here. Whoever was inside the warehouse was probably slowly gathering them so they could be turned whenever the gargoyles got here.

He had killed the gargoyles they were waiting on though so this would never happen unless they had a necromancer around. He found this plot intriguing and wanted to get closer to investigate but decided to keep with his plan to stay low key until he finished his tunnel.

Getting to a new part of town where the bodies were on the ground all over the place Lake started looking for potions again. The houses weren't as nice but the dead people made up for this fact and he was able to gather another five relatively quickly.

Most came from Demon Worshipers but Wezz had shown no sign that he cared where they came from so his feelings about the dark bottles holding healing potions didn't matter. Finishing his search Lake looked around and tried to think of how much of the city he had had to search to get the 30 potions.

He was pretty fast but he didn't think he had even covered a third of the city. It was good news he guessed, but only if there was another battle that left half of Wezz's men injured again. Returning to Wezz's base, Lake handed over the last 15 they had asked for and said. "I'll be back in a few hours to see how you all are doing so make sure to keep a room ready for me because I'll be sleeping when I get back."
