Chapter 381: The Deal Pt.17

For whatever reason it took a second for them to be let into the lab after Wallace's badge failed to open the door right away. He didn't think there was some sinister reason this had happened but he did find it weird that Wallace's badge didn't work right when he was trying to get into his own lab so he made a note of it before quickly moving on to get a look at what was inside.

"Sorry about that. It's happened a few times but no one's been able to figure out why. Anyway this over here is the only golem we are currently working on so I'll show you that first." Lake had already seen plenty of golems on the way into the city so instead of looking at the half built one he started looking at the people working here.

It seemed most of them were just making parts and had nothing to do with the magic part of the process. Lake's guess for why this was the case was that if they were the ones to make the golem alive they would be the owner and the guild probably only wanted members to own the golems they had paid for.

This made Lake wonder just how many golems Wallace was currently the owner of but he didn't plan to ask since he was just here to see the bare minimum before going to his room to start reading the book he had taken from the library.

"This here is the newest innovation to the design, it allows the golems to pick more fragile plants with less damage but it's still not quite good enough for the guilds standards on root damage so we're working on improvements." Catching the end of what Wallace had been saying, Lake looked at the hands he was pointing at and thought back to some of the factories he had seen on tv in his last life.

Without really thinking of the consequences of helping Wallace, Lake described a way to get plant roots out of the ground without damaging them. "You should just dig up the plants and spray them off afterwards to keep the roots safe."

He was pretty sure he had seen them use this technique on things like potatoes in his last life so it might not work on everything Wallace was planning on farming but it should work on most things grown in dirt. "That's a good idea, maybe I could add some type of weak water formation to the golems hands so they could do this out in the fields."

Seeing this new idea had drawn a lot of attention away from him because Wallace had gone back to working on the golem, Lake turned and started heading out of the room. He was able to make it all the way to the door before anyone noticed him walking away but they still didn't stop him and he was able to walk out of the room.

After he made the trip back to his room Lake sat at his table and started to flip through the book. It always took him a minute to remember Detector could be used in a situation like this but once he did he had it highlight the parts of the book that held information on Akal or Laka.

When the parts highlighted were grouped together Lake knew he had found information on the period of time he had been looking for and flipped to it and started reading.

...

The room was still too dark for him to know if the man who had been speaking to him earlier was still around but it had been a long time and if they hadn't left they were never going to so he figured he might as well try using the looking stone.

He moved very slowly at first because he didn't want to make what he was doing obvious but when the shackles started to get in his way it became obvious there was no way for him to make any subtle movements. After struggling to get his hand into his pocket for around five minutes he was able to get the looking stone up to his face and look through it for the first time.

Like he expected, what he saw made no sense but he knew he was supposed to find something in the garbled mess and focus on it until it was all that was left. Seeing a red thing fly into view Donny focused on it until everything else around it started to take up less and less space in the image he was seeing.

Once the whole image was red Donny saw shapes start to form but he still didn't know what he was looking at. He knew it was probably some type of magic effect or something that was close to him but the shapes weren't anything he recognized from Fire formations which was what the most likely element since the image was red.

Since he was unable to recognize what this was Donny decided to move on to something else and pulled the stone away from his eye. Before he tried again Donny took a brief second to try and think back to the only time he had ever heard someone talk about looking stones in the past.

It was all the way back when he was still in school and their teacher was talking about items that were important in the past and looking stones had come up near the beginning because they were from before the six original gods started letting people become demigods.

Back then everyone had had their stats maxed at 100 and therefore needed tools like looking stones to do research into magic and apparently they let mortals see things that you would need 1000 Perception to perceive which made them useful even now when most people could only hope to get Perception up to 200 if they bought the very best Elixir that existed.

They were extremely rare though and the amount of time to learn to use one was therefore very long and Donny didn't think he would have much luck learning in a situation like this but it was really his only option even if he didn't know what he was trying to achieve by using it.

...

Ever since they had passed through the gate into the Light Domain Tiff hadn't been able to get worries about what the Demon Lord was up to out of her head. It was silly to worry so much about someone who had been trying to kill her forever all of a sudden when there was no evidence that they were in more danger than normal but she felt like there was at least some really bad news coming their way.

Hopefully that was all there was and nothing crazy had happened to the God of Light or anything because if that happened there wouldn't be a single god left who was trying to stop the Demon Lord from ascending. "We're about to arrive at the Temple. The Oracle said she would be ready for you as soon as we got there so go ahead and head in that direction right away. I'll be going to talk to the Metal Oracle to see if she had decided to share anything while I was gone."

Tiff was grateful for the Temple Heads words at first because they distracted her from her thoughts but that changed at the end when the Temple Head said the Metal Oracles name because she identified this as the most likely route for bad news to come their way.

There was nothing she could do to stop it if she was right though and she probably wouldn't even if she could because knowing was better than not knowing. "Ok, and after that what will we be doing here in the Light Domain? None of us will really be able to do much as Holy Mages outside of the Holy Domain."

This was the main reason them being told that they were heading to the Light Domain had been such a surprise but she was sure there were plans that involved them in the works already because not putting them to use would be a huge waste in the eyes of the strategists.

"It's still being decided on. We need to better understand the situation with the Demon Lord before we can make real plans but don't think of this as a vacation where all your responsibilities are gone because there's a good chance we'll have to find a way for you all to hide in the Holy Domain to continue your training while it's being controlled by the Demon Lord."

This sounded like a rough time but she really didn't think it would happen because the Temple Head was just guessing with no information on what the God of Light wanted them to do next and whatever did end up happening to them in the future was likely to be less extreme than living in enemy territory.
