Chapter 127: On a stretcher

'Ah...' Layn moaned in his mind as soon as his consciousness started to return. Even though the state of his body could be summed up with a word - pain - he didn't dare to voice this problem out.

'I'm being carried?' he asked in his thoughts, trying to figure out his situation without announcing to whoever was carrying him that he was awake.
