Chapter 190: Tomorrow Is More Important
Walking out of Masters' office after him, Lake decided he should try and sleep now because it would probably be his last chance. It would also give him a little bit of time to lay out a plan. He had so many different places he had to check if he wanted to be thorough and all he had was a bit of tomorrow.
The spy they had met had told them they had three days but who knew how accurate that information was. Whatever the big thing was could happen in just a few hours into today or the whole day could pass before it started. Opening the door into the barracks, Lake saw there was a bit more room today than yesterday and figured it was because there were a lot of teams that had been unable to return because the elevators were down.
There weren't any beds open though so he still had to sleep on the floor. As he was laying down he started to think about what he would do tomorrow. First he needed to think of a way to use Detector that wouldn't be blocked by something like a vault that was designed to block scouting skills.
That meant he needed to look for things that signified a hidden area instead of the area itself. He would need to try out a few different things tomorrow Like maybe setting the Detector to look for buildings with hidden basements. He felt like that would work but he didn't think it was narrowed down enough and he would end up finding more than just things belonging to Demon Worshipers.
Buildings that have things hidden by Demon Worshipers in them. Lake couldn't help but wonder if Detector could be set with such a long command but if it could he would start with that tomorrow once he got up. He also needed to find an efficient way to cover ground tomorrow.
With such a large amount of space he was probably going to run out of time if he just went to every place he could so he needed to forget some places and just go to the ones that were the most likely to have something strategic for the Demon Worshipers.
He felt like the Demon Worshipers needed places where they could get a lot of people in one place because the more deaths there were the stronger their army would grow for the rest of their plan. This meant things like big markets and residential areas. He had seen every tier had different balances of these things but he hadn't been to enough tiers to know where the biggest would be.
"Why are you sending me eighth?" Tiff knew she was probably expected to just say yes to going and then she would have the situation explained to her but she wanted to know first. "We're sending the people who are unlikely to be picked first so we don't have to send the person the God of light chooses more than once. Also it's night time so sending you now makes sense since you won't really be part of any fight that could happen."
Tiff understood the Demon Worshipers liked to attack during the night and since the Light Domain was so close to the Holy domain the Temple Head was hoping she could get there and back before daybreak when they would send people who would actually be important for when the Demon Worshipers returned.
"Do I actually need to go?" Tiff thought it was unlikely that she would be picked so they might as well just send another member now and leave her out of this. "Why wouldn't you go?" Tiff understood why the Temple head would be confused about someone turning down a chance to get a Legendary job but Tiff would rather it go to someone who wouldn't waste it.
One of the strong members of the 23 would be able to keep the others safe better than she could even with some new Legendary skills. "I don't feel like I would be a good choice therefore the God of Light would never choose me. It would be a waste of time for me to go."
"Well it's fine if you feel that way but let me tell you something about the God of Light, or just Gods in general. Sometimes the people they pick to hold their power aren't the ones anyone would ever suspect. He's waiting to see you and you'll only understand why if you go."
Tiff had never really been the type of person to put her hopes in the gods because there was more than one of them and they all had their own agendas that sometimes clashed so she had never been able to think that the one she worshiped would ever be able to always be right.
These were unpopular opinions for someone who was a member of a temple to have thought so she just acted like the Temple head's words had gotten through to her so she said. "You're right I'll leave right away." Tiff could tell the Temple Head knew no one's mind was changed that easily but what did it matter to her when how tiff was acting got her what she wanted.
Alright the way to the Light Domain is still clear so feel free to go straight there using the road. If you go as fast as you can we'll expect you back in 12 or so hours." The temple head waved a farewell to her and Tiff walked out of the room headed for the door out of their base. She only briefly stopped to get some gear for the road.
She had wanted to go say bye to Dawn before she left but with a time limit of twelve hours being set she would be back soon enough that Dawn wouldn't mind if she didn't say bye to her first. Stepping outside Tiff took a sip of one of the stamina potions she had just picked up and started to run towards the Light Domain.
