231 Chapter 230 (1/2)
Leon had already expected that Darya would have little stamina, but the situation was even worse than he predicted. Since he had two work for fourteen hours straight and could sleep for six hours, she was forced to stop several times to rest in the sewers. However, resting in such places didn't help her that much since the air around was enough to make her face turn blue.
Unfortunately, since the 'soil of the city was only thirty meters deep, Leon couldn't use his mana. Otherwise, someone would notice his presence. Only after six hours of walking through the sewers, they left that place, and Leon created some earth platforms to rest. The smell of the sewers was left behind, but the stagnated air took its place, and Darya didn't feel all that much better.
”You were right... it is worse than I imagined.” Darya said while looking toward all directions and seeing nothing but destruction and poison mist.
Despite Darya's words, not a single warrior complained, but Leon heard some grunts... it looked like Darya needed to use her head a little more before talking and saying those insensible things.
After going down, Leon transported the four warriors until near the place where their village was hidden. He was sure that they didn't want to show Darya where they were currently living.
”Thanks for the help,” Leon said. ”I will keep training near the golems dungeon for a while, if you guys or Eadmund wants to obtain more magic items, I will trade them for coins, but don't take your time.”
The four warriors nodded, and then they left, after that, Leon headed toward the elemental golems' dungeon.
”Didn't you become their allies?” Darya asked. ”Is because of me you cut your ties with them?”
”No, we were working together, but only for a while,” Leon explained. ”I gave them weapons and they gave me intel... more important than that. What do you intend to do now? As you can see, the world down here isn't a good place to spend a vacation.”
”... I have no idea what to do now...” Darya raised her head and looked at the thick layer of earth that sustained the city above.
”Don't you have any relatives or friends who would be willing to take you in?” Leon asked. ”Maybe they could help you to start a new life with a new name...”
”I have relatives, but none of them would risk themselves to help me.” Darya showed a self-deprecating smile. ”I think they would even sell me to give my grandfather the chance to punish me for my crimes. As for friends... I have none. Over the last ten years, I have been working organizing and sending important information to the frontlines, but since my memory was erased every day... ”
”Ten years... by the way, how old are you?” Leon asked.
”I'm twenty years old,” Darya answered.
Leon frowned when he heard that since he couldn't imagine anyone sane putting a ten years old kid doing such important work. It was crazy and inhuman to erase the memories of a kid.
