Chapter 30: recruited as one of the cook for officials
Vikram don’t want to take the funds of Lord Trelawney so as to not to alert him and delay the treasure hunt for long.
After informing Katherine, Vikram put on his special dress and moved out of the house.
He got some horses to move around quickly.
He made his way to the houses of those lords to steal their stored treasures and money.
Since there is a contract the stolen goods might not lose their value.
Vikram was quick in stealing things from the metal safes of the old version.
He is good at lock picking and these old things are too easy for him.
Also, he only stole from the safe boxes instead of other things like paintings and art.
He doesn’t want to attract immediate attention related to theft or other things.
Those lords usually open their safes once a month to put in their earnings or take out some money for special purposes.
Since it is like that Vikram can run wild.
There are gold and silver coins in those safe boxes that are easy to loot.
In a few nights Vikram has a small mountain of gold, silver and bronze in his storage space.
He not only stole the money in the safe boxes he also stole the refined ingots of copper and other metals from the copper mines from those lord’s warehouses.
The only place that was still intact is the Lord Trelawney’s safe and store house.
Vikram did not have a problem with that as he found from the butler of Lord Trelawney’s mansion, that Lord Trelawney has bought a ship few days ago.
The banquette is related to his purchase and also to not to cause any big movements from other lords from discovering something related to treasure map.
Since he diverted his attention towards Vikram's special medicine, he can simply make an excuse that they are going to get some special ingredients out of this country through the sea route.
The protagonist and his mother should have already arrived doctor Livesey’s place.
With their contact with Lord Trelawney related to captain flint’s treasure map the story is going to start moving to the next phase.
This is also the time when Vikram is likely to meet other players that are doing their own thing in the past few days.
………..
In the morning Vikram is sleepy because of staying awake all night long last night.
Well he can take it without any problem.
Also in the afternoon he can take a nap completing all of their chores.
There is uproar outside because of the thefts last night.
But the theft related to the safe boxes is not discovered.
Instead the loss of metal ingots in the warehouses took all the attention.
The reason for this is because few days later these metal ingots will be sent for business through various trade means.
Vikram did not take the metal ingots of Lord Trelawney now doesn’t mean that he will leave them.
He is going to steal them too before they set off along with the metal safe.
The time Vikram prepared the dishes as usual at Katherine’s house and then moved to Lord Trelawney mansion to cook.
Lord Trelawney was busy with preparing the boat and some other things related to mass robbery that happened last night.
But when he is having lunch he called Vikram.
“Vicky, I am planning on going on a voyage in a few days.
It is a little long one which takes a round trip of around 5 months.”
Vikram expected this and immediately accepted the words of Lord Trelawney to become the ship’s cook for Lord Trelawney and some officials like captain of the ship and doctor.
As for the rest of the crew there is another cook silver.
In the 15 days time limit, 12 days are already over and they will start their journey in 3 days.
Vikram immediately went back to pack his things and made some arrangements including the safety of Katherine in the next three days.
Lord Trelawney also introduced Vikram to other storyline characters including Jim, his mother, captain of the ship and the ship’s doctor.
Lord Trelawney also explained about the treasure map related to the treasure of the captain flint.
Vikram immediately said that he don’t want any share of that.
But Vikram asked for something different.
That is after the group found the treasure of captain flint; he wanted to have that treasure map.
The group looked at him strangely.
Vikram immediately explained.
This is a historical event and he wanted to tell his future generations that he has went on a journey to hunt the treasure of captain flint.
This map will be the proof of that and he wanted to hold on to it.
When he explained it like that the atmospheres become softened and all the people happy to give that map to Vikram after they got the treasure.
The reason why Vikram asked for the treasure map is because his insight skill activated subconsciously and gave a hint to him.
This treasure map is very important artifact.
In the past few days from the time Vikram found the effects of insight he used it to check things out frequently.
Over the days he found that it improved and gained some skill experience because of the usage.
As for the skill called will, will is also improving whenever he did something beyond his limits or with high concentration or strong feeling towards completion or winning
Even though most of the details related to the skill were fogged for some reason, the skill is still gaining experience through many things.
The uses of the skill in passive state are still unknown to him.
Vikram did not think about them for the time being as he has many things to take care of here.
He has decided to think of these things after going out of this fantasy world.
Also there will be free time for him to think when he is on the ship for at least 2 months.
