Chapter 92: Desirable

|Happy new year losers.|

Perseus POV

A Lilith went for her practice or whatever, I walked towards the pantry. For a goddess, she's got a lot of free time, and she knows every fricking dance move on the planet, she even learned from some of the previous heroes who turned to the demon's side, so the flamingo and others, blah blah blah, but one hero she find intriguing was the hero that came from the land of the rising sun.

But as I head there, I'm thinking of a lot of things.

Of course the reincarnated heroes are mostly Japanese or Koreans in the past, no offense, but the most popular novels of the isekai or an transmigrating genre are from there, so it make sense. Even though the first hero came from the land of the free, worse, apparently he came from the northwest territory.

As I stay with Lilith, I learn many things about the first hero since she learned them directly from the first demon lord, you know, the one with his daughter marrying his best friend, his wife cheating on him and whatever.

So the Tartians are the descendants of a summon that may or may not be from Ohio, just putting it out there.

Though she kept information about the current demon lord a secret since she is also a general and have no good reason to tell me, which I don't mind, though what I find strange is that the world that al these heroes are coming from is only one dimension, the one where I'm from, what about the others, can't we have Perseus Silver: The multiverse of madness or something.

|The title's taken.|

What?! By who?

|Dr Strange.|

How much marvel am I missing since I disappeared?!

|Don't worry, the new phase is kind of a big joke, and yes readers, I'm taking a shot at the new marvel shows and movies, not all of them and most of this are aimed at their shows.|

Back to me, anyway, I did get Lilith to speak of something, well got her to hint something that she wasn't meant to, a project, I don't know what it is but it seems like a big deal, and I intend to find it out, but it's clear that I can't get it out of her, I need some duke who is close to the demon lord or one of his close confidants, but I need to travel to the demon continent first.

I was close and I hid in a corner and use my illusion ability to make myself invisible to walk by the guards, walk past the kitchen, into the pantry and went for the wine cellar. I see lots of bottles of wine in there, but now I just need to determine which bottle they're using to exclusively serve that guy.

And I also stole some of the more expensive ones to sell...yes, you're not reading the story of a hero, I never claim to be one, I'm a selfish guy from the beginning, I steal valuable things.

I can't just put it in all of em, it'll launch an investigation within the cast if it's found that everyone is found to be drugged all at the same time and the connection would lead to those who don't drink, even though I'm sure I won't be found out, it'll be inconvenient.

So I waited in the room till someone came since it's already close to lunch time. I then used my powers on them while being invisible.

"Are you using this to serve mage Ursel?"

"No." the person answered in a trance

"Why are you here and who will serve the wine to the mage?"

"I here to gather drinks for the cast and the rest of our guest, Jaquelin and Sarah should come here in about 20 minutes to get their wine to serve him, it's in a hidden cabinet that only they know to access."

"Thank you, do your work quickly and forget our interaction."

*****

Sure enough 2 came and they shuffle around and activated this cabinet after they put on this one wine bottle which one then use a key to unlock.

"Show me the bottles that you'll use to serve the mage."

In a trance, they then showed me 2 bottles, I then used magic to created a small barrier to stop its aroma from escaping and use it to take the cork out and sprinkle the drug in both the bottles before stuffing the aroma and the cork back in the bottle and let them bring it to the mage, now all I have to do is check whether he actually drinks it during lunch and wait for him at his house.

And I also stole some of the bottles in there to gift it to my parents since they do enjoy the occasional drinking once in a while, ne for chief Aminu for looking out for them while I'm gone as well, I guess.

*****

As I partake in my lunch with the others, I sneak glances or so at the mage and sure enough he finished a bottle by himself which is more than enough to dull him to sleep when he arrives home, though those 2 girls will feel asleep as well since he got them to drink a glass each, luckily this one isn't deadly.

I had to put in the calculations of the servants drinking it as well which took extra time to find a drug that can't kill. Well when lunch was over, I made sure to talk to my colleagues and to make sure I was seen going into my room to rest as my alibi.

I already got the address and I made my way there ahead of him and snuck in with invisibility to wait for him to pass out, he's filthy rich and got guards and servants all over, it'll be hard to sneak out with magic, no person would pull it off if it weren't for me I guess.

No wonder my ability is super desirable.
