Chapter 35: [Choices and Consequences!]
[You see, these children do not belong anywhere. In the slums, they group together trying to survive as much as they can. If you save them now, there are only three outcomes that are going to happen for them. One is that they will be taken by dark mages for experiments. The other is the same as this, that is, they will be used for rituals.](Elios)
[And lastly, if they survive both, they are going to be forced to barely survive in the cutthroat world where they have nothing to survive on. Until death comes for them.](Elios)
Noah had many questions in his mind regarding that and Elios continued answering them before Noah even asked.
[The corrupt city orphanage doesn't take children from the slums. Being commoners, they have barely any magic so they can't survive as adventurers or war soldiers. The kingdom won't employ them as anything more than slaves, which is actually worse than anything else.](Elios)
[One last way for them to survive is to join the thieves or raiders, through which they would get killed one day or another. And even if they survive, they would only become cruel killer that would do more evil than the ones we stop here.](Elios)
Reading the last message of Elios, Noah sighed before speaking,
'But Elios. They are only children.'(Noah)
[...](Elios)
'Don't worry. We will figure it out, one way or another.'(Noah)
Noah had a kind smile on his face, as he looked at the children in front of him before looking at the dark mages. And then taking out the dagger, he was about to move before he saw the eyes of one of the guys.
'These leechers...'(Noah)
