Chapter 314: On The Way

Chapter 314: On The Way

It had been half an hour since the guy next to him had announced they were being followed but they still hadn't been attacked and he clearly wasn't the only person who thought this was weird. "I guess they are letting us get further away from the city." Hearing the Temple Head say this, Lake looked outside the cart using Mana Vision again just to make sure they were still being followed.

There was a chance whoever was out there wasn't after them and just happened to be traveling towards the Metal Domain like they were but Lake really didn't think that was the case when he saw them still right next to them. If they were just two random groups one of them would have fallen out of sync with the other already.

It was very clear that whoever was out there was waiting until the perfect time to come in and attack the carts, probably unaware that they had already been detected. Pausing his training so he could turn off Mute Lake said. "Maybe it would be good to stop. If they are following us, maybe we're being led into something." Lake knew the guy next to him gave him a dirty look as soon as he started talking but he had to say this so he didn't care.

"No it will be alright. I don't really care what kind of traps they are setting up for us." Lake guessed he really didn't have anything to worry about since the Temple Head seemed so confident he was sure they would be fine.

...

Tiff couldn't help but agree with what Lake said and wished he had tried to convince the Temple Head that they could be heading into a trap a bit more but she guessed it was good he knew better than to second guess the Temple Head. She really didn't want to watch the Temple Head explain how command structure worked to a new member when a fight could break out at any second.

It did make it important for her to speak up though since she wanted to ask something. "I can tell you made preparations but can I know what they are?" The Temple Head hadn't really mentioned what they were going to be using to keep them safe from any thing that attacked them while not even stopping to make some type of shield.

She did have a new question she wanted to ask though. "Do you think they knew we're in the carts?" If the Demon Worshipers were aware of their identities there was no chance a few low level Demon Worshipers would be the limit to who showed up. The last time they knew she was outside they had sent a Demigod to kill her and that would be the same this time.

There was actually a good chance it would be more than one like last time since the God of Light would probably send a few Demigods to protect them meaning the Demon Lord would need more than one to actually get to them. "No. It would make almost zero sense that they could guess we would risk coming out of the Temple now. They don't know what we're after so they will think we're just reinforcements coming to save the Metal Domain."

That was true for now but once they got there it wouldn't take long for the Demon Worshipers to realize who she and the Temple Head were and start to target them. There would also already be a few enemies on the level of the Temple Head around since of what was going to be happening while they were looking for the dagger.

...

Hearing what the Temple Head and Tiff were talking about, Lake realized he shouldn't have led them into this. He had already started to regret this decision a while ago and had even thought of a way to change it by telling the Temple Head that the arrow was saying the Dagger wasn't where it had been the last time he checked but he had never done this.

To be honest at this point he should have completely given up on the money he had been expecting to earn from helping the Metal Domain and could have already made enough money to complete the Insiders mission by doing other work for the Fighters guild for the last few days. It was really too bad he hadn't just stopped to think about this before this point.

In the future he needed to remember to give up way before he got this involved in something ever again. If he had just realized how much of a hassle this was going to be he wouldn't have had to waste so much of his time going back and forth between here and the Metal Domain.

"Something just landed on the cart." All of a sudden the guy next to him shared some startling news which caused him to look up. When he didn't see someone Detector saw as a Demon Worshiper he calmed down slightly but was still about to pull out a weapon. That was when he heard someone start to talk to the person driving the cart.

"Madam, there's someone here saying they are the scout that was supposed to deliver the news from the Metal Domain." Lake recognized the voice of the cart driver was the one who said this but he ignored what they were saying and used Detector to confirm whether this person on the cart was really a member of the Temple.

Once he saw them start to glow he said. "They're from the Temple like they said so we can listen to what they're saying." The Temple Head gave him a brief nod before she started to talk back to the driver. "You can send them in. I have some questions for them."Continue reading on No_veLbIn
