Chapter 332: Real Robbery

As he was walking in Lake had to say this place was very nice. Every surface sparkled with countless jewels and when he said it was the surface he meant it. He wasn't sure why they had chosen to encrust the entire shop but they had and it made him wonder if maybe jewels weren't very valuable here.

The stuff you could buy looked nice as well once he got over looking at the floors and walls. Now all he needed to do was come into contact with as much stuff as he could before he caused a commotion. As he walked around and touched stuff Lake was able to tell all the really good items weren't out here where anyone could touch them but he didn't think he looked like someone they would let hold the stuff in the counters.

He was just wearing plain clothes and it was obvious to anyone who looked at him that he didn't have anything to hold money in like a bag or purse. This would cause the people behind the counter to turn him away if he was to ask to hold the nice stuff. This gave him an idea of what he should do to get the people here in the shop to call the guards.

There were a few obvious guards that belonged to the shop so if he did something small they would probably just handle it and the guards from the castle wouldn't come out here to chase him. So not only would he have to smash the case to get at the nice things inside he would have to get violent with the guards to draw bigger fish here.

He didn't want to kill them though because a murder was a bit too far in his opinion because he felt the guards would get their best guys on it to catch him while a small attempted robbery wasn't worth their time. The source of this content is N0veII_bIn

That would probably change once he called all the items he had touched because a thief who had taken so much was worth catching but by then he would have already robbed the castle so they would probably be after him anyway.

He didn't think they would chase him all the way back to the Holy Domain though so it wouldn't matter to him because he was too fast for them to catch him. As he walked up to the counter Lake could tell they were ignoring him like he expected so he just went right into the robbery.

There was no way to make it not weird that they all lost to an unarmed thief but as long as they didn't see how they would probably guess there had been other criminals that came to help him fight off the guards. As they got closer to wherever it was they were taking him like he expected the roads got less and less populated and before long it was only them.

He didn't waste much time once that happened because he didn't know when they would get to this dungeon. Going much faster than he had earlier, Lake knocked all the people around him out by smacking their helmets being careful not to kill them because like he said he didn't want the people who investigated murders to be after him.

"Bang." He hit them all fast enough that it sounded like one hit and once he was sure they were all out he grabbed the one he had hit last and dragged them into the alley. He had to kill one to get the core so he might as well pick the one he hit last since they would have had the best chance of seeing what happened just now.

The others were more likely to be confused since he had moved too fast for them to really see him. Once he had their armor off he quickly put it on and used their knife to get their core. This made a mess but it didn't take too long for him to use their core and turn into them. Next he had to hide the body and thankfully he was fast enough that he could just transport it into some garbage nearby.

By the time it started to stink he was sure he would have already left the town and since it was now an item he could just call it to him while he ran to dump it into an area where animals would eat it. With all that done he ran back to the group of unconscious guards and started to shake them to get them up.

One of them had to wake up first so once they saw his dented helmet they would think he just happened to be the one and they would have no reason to think he was a fake. After a while one of the other guards finally regained consciousness and quickly started to ask questions. "What happened?"

Since he was the only one who seemed to get back up after being attacked he was able to spin the story easily. "We were ambushed. I'm guessing by the friends of the guy that we were taking to the dungeon." Lake could tell they guy believed him and it wasn't too long that they turned their attention to the others.

"Don't worry they're all alive. I already looked." Some time had passed since they had all been knocked out so it was fine to say he had already had time to check the pulse of everyone here. "Help me wake a few more of them up so we can go back to the barracks to get healed. With just a few more we'll be able to carry everyone back."

Lake would have loved to ask where the barracks were since his goal was to get inside the castle but it would be weird if he didn't know so he just crouched down and started to shake the next person. He had tried to keep the blows from killing anyone but it was impossible to hurt everyone the same amount since some of them would be stronger than the others so it might take a while to get enough of them awake to carry the others.
