Chapter 380: The Deal Pt.16

"So you want to be a God but you've turned down every offer that you've received up until this point even though everyone knows the Demon Lord makes more Demigods than any other god." Donny felt like this guy would never understand this point no matter what he said but with nothing else to do he tried to explain his position for the hundredth time.

"Yeah I feel I can do it myself so selling myself to the demon Lord isn't something I wanted to do." He didn't think he could make this any more clear without just saying how much he hated the Demon Lord which he didn't think was a good move in this situation. "Oh you're trying to challenge yourself."

Once again the guy somehow missed the part where he heavily implied he wanted nothing to do with the Demon Lord but as long as it made the guy stop asking the same question in different ways he didn't care. "So what do you think you'll gain doing it all yourself?"

This was a nice change of conversation and it was actually something Donny liked to talk about so he started to explain what he had heard about the different ways of becoming a Demigod. "Well I think there's a problem with gaining divinity before you make it to the sixth circle of formations because that's the minimum level to really understand skill crafting and if you're unable to level your skills correctly you're going to be taken advantage of by strong mortals."

They were rare but there were mortals that were stronger than newer demigods and that wasn't a position he ever wanted to be in. He was also getting close to his goal of being in the six circle already so waiting a few more years wouldn't kill him. "That wont happen if you belong to a faction like ours. No one other than the God of Light and his cronies ever bother us."

Donny was sure that was true but he had always had his eyes on joining the God of Metal if he had to choose which he thought was obvious considering it was the only affinity he used. Sadly the God of Metal wasn't looking for any more subordinates at the moment so that left him with his only option being a loner.

It was really too bad about the Dark Goddess because she hadn't been evil like the Demon Lord and if she was still around he could have used two of his affinities instead of just one and his Intelligence would be a bit higher which would help in his studies. "That's true but joining a group that is constantly fighting doesn't really seem safe as a young inexperienced Demigod."

Turning around he saw Wallace who had probably just run all the way here waving at him. "Hello Wallace, how are you?" Lake was sure this was about to be a uniquely unhinged conversation from the look on Wallace's face but decided to greet the man as if he didn't look crazed because he remembered Wallace acting like this in the past.

"I was starting to think you weren't ever going to come back." Lake didn't really understand why Wallace cared what he was doing but he knew he had accidentally helped the man a lot in the past by giving him the idea to make golems that could farm. Wallace was probably hoping that something like that would happen again in the future if they were near each other.

"Well I'm back and plan to stay here most of the time for a while. So I saw the golems outside the city, were you able to find people skilled enough to help you build them faster?" Lake got a fast response as Wallace started to nod vigorously while saying. "Yes I have nine people helping me now, only five of them are members of this guild though so I'm still looking for more permanent help."

Lake could guess that the four that weren't members were probably received in some type of personnel swap with another group but he didn't really care about that enough to ask and confirm his suspicions because he just wanted to get back to what he was doing. "Alright well I'll see you later."

After he said this he tried to walk away but Wallace grabbed his arm before saying. "Actually I was hoping to show you our lab so you know where I am if you ever need anything." Lake didn't think he would ever need to know where Wallace was but he was slightly interested to see the lab so he just nodded even though it was probably going to be a waste of time for him.

"Ok just follow me, it's only a few floors up from here." Lake nodded again but quickly swiped a book off of the shelf when Wallace turned around so he could just head to his room after this and start reading.

...

"We're at the gate and are about to pass through." Tiff was a bit surprised by this news because they hadn't been attacked in any way yet but she guessed the Demon Worshipers that were after them realized they wouldn't win in a fight with them if they tried anything.

"That's weird, why didn't they attack us? This was the best opportunity they're ever going to get to kill us all at once." As Tiff listened to what Dawn was saying she started to get a weird feeling about the fact they had just been let escape. Maybe the Demon Worshipers had another reason to let them go with no fight.
