Chapter 356: A Fellowship? Pt.2

Walking into the tea room Lake saw they had the part of the floor he had slipped through sectioned off so no one would fall through it on accident and started to giggle because this probably meant someone had soon after he left. A fall of ten feet or so wasn't going to hurt anyone in this world unless they were a child or the old man he was following now and it was a funny image to think about.

Most likely it had been someone like a guard so the sound their armor had made when they hit the floor below was probably pretty loud and maybe had caused a brief panic. There was no way for him to ask about it now though so he just kept these things to himself. "Go stand over there and don't say anything." The source of this content is N0veII_bIn

Hearing the old man's words, Lake moved into the corner of the room and waited for this meeting to start. He really had no interest in this discussion and wanted to go and see if his skill would work for what they wanted it for or not but he guessed there was a chance something he could use later could be said so he made up his mind to listen even if he didn't want to.

The meeting didn't start right away though so they all had to wait till the mayor and the man from the sky entered. "Alright I'll start by talking to you eleven from the Metal Domain. We'll pay you once the sun comes up and you can leave even if what we're doing isn't over."

...

Donny assumed the mayor said this to calm the obviously annoyed Oracle guard who had been sitting next to him fuming the entire time they were waiting here. The words seemed to have an effect on the man which showed just how much a promise of being able to leave in a few hours meant to them.

"Alright with that out of the way we have to wait for the others to arrive before we can plan the raid on the other side of the door but we can go ahead and go down there to see if how we plan to get inside will actually work. I'm sure most of you have heard about the door under the city that we've been trying to open for as long as the Demigod has been missing and how many times we've failed."

...

"Are you asking for names or what organization they're part of?" Donny didn't see why Hampton couldn't just tell them both things or why he clarified this but the guard didn't let this weird question stop him and said. "Just the organization is fine."

"Alright, a few people from the Earth Temple will be coming and then a couple of older mages like myself to help investigate anything that is found on the inside."

"How long will it take for them to get here after you've called for them?" After the guard said this Donny finally understood where this was going and started to get a bit disappointed because if he was right they wouldn't be here for much longer. "A few days for the furthest people."

"If that's the case, would it be alright if we leave right after we test your friends skill. If we aren't going to go in right away there isn't a reason for us to hang around till morning with nothing else going to happen. A couple hundred people are waiting for us to return with no idea if we are just late or dead."

Donny knew the guard was right but he wished there was a reason they had to stay because even if he knew there was no way he would be one of the people who would get to use the divine cores they were all hoping they would find. "That's fine but if there's a fight you must stay alright."

The guard nodded to this and finally stood up and everyone joined him in this being more than ready to start. "Alright Hampton you and your friend should lead the way." After the mayor said this Hampton waved for the younger man who had been standing off to the side this whole time and started to walk towards the stairs down.

...

Lake was happy to see Hampton didn't move at the slow pace he had been using earlier as they made their way out of the castle. Once they got to a set of stairs down he did slow down again though but there was good reason. The light that got rid of the phantoms didn't seem to be effective down here so while they were descending they had to deal with phantoms emerging from the walls.

"Don't worry about this happening once we get down there I'll set a formation to keep the phantoms away." Lake hadn't been thinking about this but he was happy to know Hampton had a plan for once they were down to wherever this door was going to be.

Five hundred or so steps later they entered an area that looked like a temple and Lake saw a door and thought they were there but then was led to another path that led even further down. "The door is at the end of this hallway." Lake nodded to this information before asking. "How deep does it go?"

"Not too much further from here." That didn't really give him an exact answer to his question but Lake guessed he would see if what the old man said was true. After around four more minutes and a few turns they finally arrived in front of a giant light stone door. Lake was about to ask if this was it but didn't have to when Hampton said. "Go ahead and get to it."
