Chapter 253: Determined

Chapter 253: Determined

Walking outside Lake saw people start to glow and knew he needed to find a better thing to set Detector to to exclude things like socks. Setting detector to look for things that would cover his upper body that he could wear, Lake saw the corpses of the demon worshipers start to glow as Detector picked up their robes.

Lake decided this was fine and left Detector set to this as he lifted into the air heading for the nice part of town. He figured the nice houses would have the kind of jacket he would want to wear. One house should have more clothes to go through than an entire street in a poorer area. The source of this content is N0veII_bIn

Not to mention the quality would probably be a lot higher as well. Hopefully he could find something that wouldn't look too bad with a few holes in it. Stopping at the first house on the street, Lake saw three separate locations light up like they were places where the people that lived inside kept their clothes and broke in after making sure it wasn't dangerous.

Finding the first bedroom Lake saw it was pretty bare and wondered if maybe it was a guest room. If he was right the stuff in this closet would probably be on the older side but he didn't really care about the current fashion of the metal domain and just wanted something to fix the way he looked and sounded.

Dragging the three items that met his requirements out of the closet and tossing them on the bed, Lake Took the one he liked the best and moved towards the next room that held clothes. Seeing the wide bed Lake knew this room would probably have a large amount of clothes not in his size since they would most likely belong to the woman of the house and fished out what he felt he could fit into.

Once he dragged out the five things that looked to be his size, Lake grabbed the only thing that didn't have any shiny metal bits and tried it on. Spinning until he found the mirror, Lake liked how he looked better now that his mixed gear was covered but he still needed to see if it helped with the noise so he ran to the next room in the house that had clothes in it.

Flipping the guy over Lake saw he was completely devoid of any injuries and started to think of ways that could kill you that didn't leave a mark as he took the helmet off. Seeing the older man's face Lake wondered if he had just dropped dead from the excitement and used Detector to look for someone who died of natural causes.

Seeing the guy start to glow, Lake realized he could have figured this out before taking the barrier down if he had just played with Detector for a few seconds but he would have still probably taken it out so he could get the armor and bring it to Wezz. Finishing undressing the man of his armor, Lake could tell every piece was enchanted.

He wasn't surprised about this since he had figured it had been what made the barrier but it made the fact he wouldn't be able to keep it a little harder since this was the first time he had seen enchanted armor. He guessed it just made it a nicer gift to whoever it ended up with. Picking it up, Lake headed for the base.

Once inside Lake set the armor in front of Wezz and asked. "Are you interested?" Wezz took one look at what he had brought him and dropped his cup of water. Lake wasn't expecting such an exaggerated response but he was happy Wezz liked it and was about to ask if he liked it when Wezz asked. "Where'd you get this?"

"It was on a dead guy. Why?" The way Wezz asked made it seem he wasn't just asking for no reason. "Because I know who it belonged to. You said he was dead?" Nodding Lake asked. "Who was he?"

"He used to be the oracles guard, he's been retired for a while but I didn't think he would die so easily." Lake wondered if he should tell Wezz the man had died from something like a heart attack or if he should just let him continue to think he had died in battle. After thinking about it some more he decided to do something in between. "I'm actually not sure what got him. The armor is in perfect condition so it had to be something weird that he couldn't defend against."

Right after he said this, Lake could tell he had accidentally made it seem like the Demon Worshipers had a new sinister way to kill someone and was about to fix it when Wezz said. "We have to get out of here soon." After he said this he started to change his armor to the set Lake had just brought him with a determined look so Lake decided it was fine.

"I'll go see if I can dig yet. It should be done raining by now so I'll try to get us to the surface by tomorrow." Lake could tell Wezz wasn't really listening but didn't repeat himself and just went towards the door. Wezz had unlocked a new source of determination and Lake didn't want to get in the way of that by continuing to talk at him.
