Runemaster in the Last Days novel Chapter 605

Chapter 605: Survive

Survive.

It was just one word but there were countless struggles behind it.

Struggles that were left unsaid.

"Well, you can enter City I Base for the time being," Peter interrupted before this group of people fell into memory or anything like that. He didn’t have any plan to accompany them all the time.

His task was simply to send them here.

"I know. Thank you very much for your help, Peter," Arnold said with a smile on his face.

Peter looked at this man who was bigger than him and silently wonder whether Samuel ever thought that Arnold might be more suitable to be a pure warrior. But at the same time, he didn’t dare to ask.

Samuel should have his reasons why he let Arnold become a magic warrior.

"It’s a transaction, so you don’t have to feel so burdened about it." Peter waved his hand and then left.

The others looked at each other and entered City I Base.

Arnold and Ruben explained their purpose and also stated that they would help with the defense. The people in City I Base simply welcomed them and didn’t ask many questions.

But when they saw the situation in the base, they could understand the reason more or less.

City I Base was extremely poor.

So poor that the people lived in this base looked more like beggars than anything else. Even the soldiers’ clothing were not in a good condition.

This might be the effect of the magic beasts’ tide from before, but seeing such a scene...

It would be a lie to say that their conscience didn’t hurt.

"Does any of you have a lot of clothes?" Amelia whispered in a low voice.

"No... I don’t like to pack such a thing," Sophia replied helplessly. The only clothes that she brought with her was only the clothes that she has been wearing. There was no way she could give those clothes to others.

Looking at the others, they clearly didn’t expect to see such a scene and didn’t have much resources in their hand either.

"How about food?" Amelia asked again.

"If it’s food, I brought enough," Ruben interjected when he saw them. "I have already given a space storage scroll containing grains to the leader of City I Base. They will open a canteen and let the people eat."

A canteen...

Looking at the large number of lifeless people, they felt a bit helpless.

The gap between the rich and the poor in this world had become bigger after the coming of the magic beasts.

There were many places that was basically destroyed and so on.

It was already their greatest blessing to be able to stay alive until now in such a poor base.

"Let’s clean up the magic beasts first," Arnold finally said.

"Yes!"

In this way, their group was busy killing magic beasts for their training. Most of the meat would be eaten and if there were some leftover, they would bring it to City I Base to exchange with some things.

Though, Ruben was the one who negotiated.

Well, war between humans and magic beasts.

"Do you find someone familiar?" Amelia noticed that Arnold was looking at the group of people who came to the base.

"No... perhaps I’m seeing wrong," Arnold replied with a smile on his lips but he himself was not entirely sure about it.

"Hmm?"

Amelia frowned but didn’t pester Arnold about it.

...

Within the Crack

In just a few days, Riya and Samuel easily found the formation inside. Seeing the familiar formation, Samuel sighed deeply.

"It seems as if these formations are waiting for you to find," Samuel complained.

"How could it be?" Riya laughed. "There are many people who could easily find these formations and it’s impossible for me to travel half around the world just to find these formations. I can only find those that are nearby."

Samuel nodded in understanding.

Just to find this formation alone... well, they did spend some time.

But it was not that difficult.

"Do you know whose pillars this is?"

"I don’t know," Riya answered honestly. "But it might be related to Dina or Ruth who were nearby."
