Chapter 34 - Search for the Backstabber

After cleaning himself using what he had in his bag Lucas headed towards the other.

"First things first let's get these survivors clothed and ready to move."

Troy glanced at Lucas questioningly "What about Hannah"?

"I'll deal with her later right now our top priority is going to be getting these people to safety." Lucas spoke while glancing at the group. "Sasha you and troy make sure they're ready to move. I'm going to search around for clues. It just doesn't make sense that a goblin den was this big with no one knowing about it. "

Sasha nodded her head " Shouldn't be a problem. All of the survivors seem physically okay as far as mobility wise at least. They're not going to be able to move for long distances I'm sure being captive has made many of them malnourished. " 

"Thats fine just do what you can I'll be back soon" Lucas began following the main road in the goblin village back to where he was being held. 'The Shamans house should be close now.' Eventually after a few houses he managed to find the Shamans house. "Now if I was Ugly green Shaman where would i hide important things." Lucas muttered under his breath. After searching around Lucas was about to give up and he noticed part of the wall had newer wooden planks on it. After transforming his hand, he used his long nails to pry the wood away from the wall. Lucas couldn't believe what he was seeing. There was a whole room filled with gold and equipment.

"That clever little demon" Lucas was amazed by how much he found after searching the room he found what he had come here for. The dungeon core. He had a hunch since this village was completely different than the rest of the outside dungeon. Luckily for them his hunch was right. "Well, this will sell for a nice profit once we get back."

Lucas first stuck all of the gold into his spacial bag then the equipment he would let the adventurer's guild handle finding the owners of the equipment if they were still alive. Once done there he continued searching the other shacks but had no further luck. ' It just doesn't make sense that it was only discovered today obviously adventurers have been getting trapped for at least a year. I guess I'll let the guild handle the Investigating.' Lucas finished with his search headed back to the others.

The trio soon after began leading the survivors out and after almost a full day they exited the dungeon. Lucas informed the teachers of the situation while Sasha and Troy continued to help the survivors. After being questioned for what felt like hours. He and the others were dismissed and told to go be checked out in the school's hospital.

"It seems like you three had quiet the adventurer" Lucas wasn't sure if it was just the exhaustion but he didn't even hear the doctor walk in. He looked up from his bed to see a beautiful middle-aged woman with pale skin and blonde hair with brown eyes. The thing that really caught his attention where her pointed ears though. 

"An elf!" Lucas couldn't help but blurt out.

The woman chuckled "A true genius you are son, my names Maple, I take it you're Lucas you resemble your father. That means this one's Troy and this little beauty must be Sasha. so, tell me where it hurts so I can fix you up. As for you Sasha are you perhaps in need of a female companion?" 

Lucas wasn't sure what he was more surprised about Sashas bright red ears, that his doctor was a elf, or the fact that she was hitting on Sasha Surprisingly it was Troy who was the first to speak.

"Umm Miss Maple you realize were all three students right?"

"Oh, so that's how it is well if you have any second thoughts, please come see me Sasha". Maple winked at Sasha before she began examining them starting with troy. "Well, my results are that you all three-need bed rest. Lucas you on the other hand I'm going to keep for monitoring. According to my report your blood was found everywhere so you must've lost more than just a fair bit. Unfortunately, my healing magic isn't at the level to replenish blood loss."
