Chapter 248: A Few Hours

Chapter 248: A Few Hours

Lake had read his way to what passed as a basic understanding of history in the last hour and found most of what this world put to books as important didn't have much to do with where he was at the moment. He wasn't surprised by this since the God of Metal was on the newer side when it came to the gods he had heard of.

That being said, if he was to sit down and read a book like this one in a few years he was sure what was happening right now would be in the book. It would probably be titled something like "The death of metal" or something like that. Being done with this book but with Wezz still sleeping Lake decided he could find something else to read to pass more time.

Going over to a new box of books he was happy to find there were other books and he just grabbed the one with the best cover. Sitting down and opening it, Lake found it was a book about items that had been used by important people in the same style as the book he had just read. He was about to go see what the other books were since he was good on history for the day when the Insider stopped him.

It seemed he was missing the fact this was a great opportunity to find something worth having and it was true if he learned about these items he might be able to go where they had been last seen to try and find them. After a few pages Lake realized whoever had written this book was coming after the topic from a blacksmith's angle and realized this book was probably to get kids from the Metal Domain interested in smithing.

Looking around at the room thinking two books for kids wasn't a coincidence Lake realized they were probably sitting in a school. He hadn't noticed till now because he hadn't seen any desks but he wasn't surprised they were using tables instead. There were always differences between here and where he had come from even if there were less than he would have expected.

Thinking back to the bedrooms he had seen he wondered if it was a place some of the students lived at as well as a school. He wouldn't be surprised if they had some kind of orphanage thing going on for kids that didn't have parents but it did make him wonder where the people that had lived here were.

"Burned to a crisp. Too bad."

...

Tiff had been unable to stop herself from looking up at the sky for most of her trip back to the Holy Domain and was sure it would only get worse as they crossed through the gate. There was no need to go right away though and since they were here and it gave them an opportunity to see the two men that had helped them earlier again.

The Temple Head seemed to think it was a good idea to stop even if it was just for a few minutes and Tiff agreed. As they walked in she saw the two men at the same exact table just sitting quietly like they had been before they had met them the first time. It was almost like nothing at all had happened today that would cause them to be worried.

Sitting down, the Temple Head went ahead and said. "Thank you for your help." to the man who had carried her and Dawn all the way to the Temple. "No problem, good job holding him off for so long." This was indeed an impressive feat considering she didn't think the Temple Head was an actual Demigod.

She had most likely had an elixir but that only let you get your stats to 200 so whatever she had used to hold back Mezull was most likely the result of hard work and skill. The Talisman had also helped but Tiff wasn't sure how much or when it had been used during the battle so she would rather give the credit to the Temple Head like the man seemed to be.

With that said there didn't seem to be much else for them to talk about and after a few seconds of silence the man who usually spoke asked. "Do you need us to help again?" He wasn't the only one who seemed to think this was where this meeting would end up and Dawn said. "Yeah I was hoping you could carry me home since you're faster than me."

The Temple Head gave her a look before turning around and saying. "That's not the worst idea but I was hoping you could scout for us again. Then you can help us by carrying them again if you think it's necessary." If they were being carried the Temple Head wouldn't have to move so slowly through the most dangerous parts of the Holy Domain since they were what was slowing her down.

"No problem, we'll be back in a few hours." This was a longer estimate but it was a larger area they had to cover this time so she wasn't surprised by this. Watching the two men leave she only turned around when Dawn asked. "What else do they have to eat here?"
