Odion stood up from his spot and put a letter earlier than Vik. He tapped on Vik’s shoulder and mentioned with a sigh. “Pay attention, I’m as heartbroken as you might be over Elder Manyu’s dying. He additionally took me in, such as you, an orphan roaming alone on this hellish world. So, I can perceive what it feels wish to lose the one one who you may name household.”

So, do not feel down seeing the trail you are strolling getting destroyed. Discover a new one, and for that purpose, I’m sending you there. Go to this place and watch over the city and its folks. I hope you perceive the trail you may be strolling and the educating Elder Manyu gave.”

Odino left the bar, forsaking these phrases, leaving Vik on their lonesome, wanting on the latter earlier than him as he contemplated in his thoughts what he ought to do.

However the city acquired invaded by a number of sturdy guys again to again, and he needed to cease himself from meddling in. Nonetheless, he could not as a result of he felt he owned this city’s folks and needed to repay them.

They had been attacking with all their may — their strongest of strongest assault — to destroy the encroaching tree roots and branches.

Behind them was a big inflow of individuals escaping alone or with their relations.

Naile, who was operating with Niloy and his mom, regarded again and requested with skepticism. “Can we even escape?”

Niloy regarded again and noticed the defenders attempting their hardest to not let a single tree root bypass them, however their energy was falling quick as they began to get exhausted, which led the tree roots to bypass them progressively.
