Chapter 340: Supplies

Rigbis had gone first and broken down everything that had happened so far to the guards leaving very little as far as Donny knew. The Guards hadn't reacted to anything that was said no matter how crazy and this made Donny think they were in for a story now that the guards turn was here.

"We weren't in the city when the attack started and while we figured it was bad we didn't know just how bad until the God of Metal told us to escape as fast as we could and what was happening a few days ago." Donny would have loved to know what they had been out doing but he could guess it was the Oracle's normal duties which were related to metal detection so he didn't stop them to ask.

"Once we got our orders to run from where we had been laying low it didn't take long for the first attackers to show up. We were in the air so we had a good chance of getting away under normal circumstances but it seems the Demon Worshipers came prepared because we were shot down almost right away. I don't know if we were just unlucky but it felt like they were after the Oracle's life to us with how prepared they were for us."

Donny had already thought the Oracle would be one of the Demon Worshipers so this kind of confirmed his suspicions but the guards had already said the Oracle was safe so it took the edge off for him as he listened to this. This was how he wanted it because being on the edge of your seat was really only nice when there were no odds for you or the people you cared about.

"We were also hit with a few curses during the fall but after we landed we were able to fight them off and hide in the mountains until some trustworthy people found us and took the oracle out of the mountains." The source of this content is N0veII_bIn

Donny was able to sense this was the end of the story and had to say it felt kind of underwhelming but he was pretty sure they were getting a very incomplete version of everything they had gone through but he didn't blame them for wanting to keep their secrets because there were things Rigbis had left out as well.

It wasn't a nice thought but not planning for emergencies was stupid and could cause everyone here to starve when they failed to bring anything back. To keep that from happening he planned to get as many people who could move large quantities of food through the mountains to go with him as possible.

...

"Finally." Lake had been running for most of the day at this point and he had almost given up on going to another town before he left the Earth Domain. That was no longer necessary though because the town the arrow had been pointing him towards was finally on the horizon.

When he had told it to bring him to the closest town in the Earth Domain that he had never been to he really only thought it would take him an hour at most but it seemed the Earth domain was much more spread out when compared to the Holy Domain.

There it really only took a few minutes to find a new farming town if he ran as hard as he could but he guessed the lack of nice rockless dirt here kept them from farming everywhere. That or they were farming a different crop that couldn't be seen on the surface like they did in the Metal Domain.

Once he made it inside of the city he wasted no time in setting Detector to look for a Thieves Guild branch and started to walk around the city. He could use the Magic compass to make this faster but he felt like scoping this place out was something he could do at the same time as look for the Thieves Guild.

After a while he made it to the center of the city and stopped someone to ask. "Is that the Temple?" Getting a nod, Lake stopped thinking about robbing this city like he had the last one and put his full attention on finding a place to sell the items he had touched in the last town. After a bit more walking he found himself in the lass nice part of town and like he expected a building started to glow.

Heading towards it, Lake decided it was fine if he just wore his clothes in because no one was really looking at him. Getting to the door Lake knocked and when he was told to come in he walked inside to see a room very similar to the jewelry store he had pretended to rob. The only big difference was the type of person that was behind the counter.

Lake didn't think it would be possible for someone to even look vaguely more criminal than this man did. "What do you have for me?" Lake decided to start with the small things from Jillings and started to pretend to pull item after item out of his bag using Retrieval. Before long there was a small mountain of shiny objects on the counter so Lake stopped here and let the man get to work appraising everything.
