Chapter 247: What's Wrong With That One
Putting his book down, Lake thought over what he had just read. He hadn't expected to find something relevant to him in a book of legends but he hadn't ever thought about how long Akal could have been around the God of Light before he betrayed him. Lake had known Laka had been on the God of Lights team but it ended up being for a lot longer than he had expected.
Lake had always expected for Laka to have been a new recruit or something but it ended up being that he had joined the God of Light around the time the Dark Domain fell to the Demon Lord. He guessed most people had picked a side around then so it was nothing special but the fact it made it into a book of important legends told you how important people saw it as.
Really what made it important didn't happen for a few more years after the story he had just read. With this story over, Lake flipped through the book for anything else he would want to know and stopped at a picture of the Mages guild/ Alchemist guild. It was the Mages guild when this story took place though so he was going to be calling it that while he read.
Stopping only a few lines down from the beginning, Lake repeated what he had just read out loud. "The Holy Domain." This was a question he had wanted the answer to for a long time but had never remembered to actually ask because the conversion had nothing to do with it. Thinking about it it made perfect sense to him that the place he had been was the Holy Domain.
Where else would the war between the Demon Lord and the Temple of Light be taking place if not for where the God of Lights wife ruled over before she was killed by Akal. It seemed these days the Light Temple had taken it over to protect it from the Demon Lord but it was still technically the Holy Domain in name most likely.
At least he finally knew why no one was ever saying where they were or what it was called in a sentence. It was like using an ancient name that didn't really matter at the moment. That being said people hadn't been saying the name of the Metal Domain very often either but he was sure he had heard it a few times.
"Does it just go in my pocket or do I need to wear it?" There was a strap that looked similar to a bracelet making her think she needed to wear it like one would with any type of gear. "I keep mine on my ankle actually but yes you should wear it so you don't have to worry about it getting separated from you if someone hits your bag."
Tiff was sure the Temple Head had a reason to keep it on her ankle so she went ahead and took off her boot so she could put hers on like that as well. Once she slipped her boot back on she knew it wasn't going anywhere so she stopped paying attention to the new feeling on her leg. "How do I recharge it?"
"It works off of Light mana so all you'll need to do is wear it until it recharges but if you need it recharged faster you can always come see me or the Temple Head." Turning back to the Oracle Tiff gave her a smile and said. "Tell him I said thank you for the talisman." She had been told to get to work right away by the God of Light so they needed to go before much longer but it would be rude if she didn't say anything at all to the oracle directly.
She decided to go ahead and thank the oracle as well since she had also had a part in what happened. "Thank you for your time." The oracle was a person so just treating her as a way to the God of Light would eventually have a bad effect between them. "I look forward to seeing you again."
Turning and giving the Temple Head a look they started heading towards the door. "Wait, what about me?" Looking at Dawn she understood what she meant. Dawn hadn't been given a talisman so she was going to be vulnerable and since she was a Holy magic user she was still a prime target even if slightly less than them.
Demon Worshipers were heavily incentivized to kill them by the Demon Lord so even if all they got was Dawn they would consider it a huge success. Looking at the Oracle Tiff could tell she didn't have any good news for them so she asked. "Is there really no way to get her something to protect her?"
"The talisman I just gave you was actually mine and we don't have any more at the moment. She has something already right?" Looking back at Dawn she watched as Dawn pulled out her talisman out of a pocket on her armor. "What's wrong with that one?"
"If there was nothing wrong with it you wouldn't have given a better one to Tiff." Dawn made a good point but the way she said it came off a little disrespectful but the oracle didn't seem to mind too much and said. "I was just doing what I was told." Seeing the oracles smiling face Dawn seemed ready to drop it and said. "I'll just have to be more careful I guess."
If there was really nothing they could do there was no reason to start a fight. It wasn't like the Temple made a habit of throwing people to the wolves if it wasn't necessary. She was sure if they needed help there would be someone to the rescue like there was the last time. Walking out of the Temple and looking up into the sky Tiff wondered where the Gods and Demigods were actually located.The source of this content is N0veII_bIn
