"There's a way to slow it down?" Uriel asked with hope, it wasn't what he hoped for, but it was better than what he expected.
He was just glad that the elder didn't seem to want to chop off his leg right that moment.
As long as he would have enough time to save his people from the soldiers, that was all that truly mattered to him.
"The adventurers I've met have all mentioned that the only way to delay the process is by increasing their physical fortitude," Elder Tonan simply informed.
Uriel's eyes widened and his attention turned back to the mandate.
"I have 4 available stat points, should I just place it all into physical fortitude?" he asked.
Elder Tonan paused and forced his face to not display his surprise.
Tonan discovered that if anything his judgment was spot on, the boy was indeed honest, a little too honest.
