"But really, what brings Elder Clinton here?"
Leonard Churchill saw Elder Clinton in the slave camp and felt no urgency about this old acquaintance's situation.
While other war slaves might face death at any moment, he would not.
The fate lines on the elder were extraordinary.
His presence here surely meant he came of his own volition, not due to other factors.
Being captured as a slave was merely a means to an end, not the cause.
Leonard Churchill wondered, "Could there also be a 'Forbidden Ruins Stele' in the wastelands?"
Elder Clinton had forgotten what he was searching for, but Leonard Churchill remembered—those steles that recorded historical truths.
Summer Shepherd City, Upper State Prison, the sealing of the Mithril Vein...
Leonard Churchill knew about the steles in these three places.
Elder Clinton had visited them all.
