Chapter 715
“Ben, are you sure this is a good idea,” Thera whispered to him as they walked down the streets, heading to the gate. “It might be better if he stayed inside.”
“He can’t be there forever,” Ben shrugged while Ogilt flinched away from any passing member of the public they walked by as they made their way through the city.
“I should be. I deserve worse,” The spirit said, not bothering to pretend as though he couldn’t hear them. “All of this, this entire planet is my fault, I can’t just-”
“Rot away doing nothing, correct,” Ben cut him off. “So what you’ll do instead is help me work. I only need you to handle things for a week or so to let me get a feel for results and then if you want you can hide away again, but it really would be more useful for everyone if you came out to help.”
“I’d only make things worse.”
“You really won’t but whatever, for now, come on and you can decide how you feel later.”
