Kapitel 206: Side Story Chapter 12

We should have two to three hours before the rain starts.

After gauging the direction of the wind and the thickness of the clouds, Riftan leaped onto a boulder. When Ruth finally caught up, he stopped to catch his breath before crawling up after him. They continued walking for another forty minutes before coming across a small spring.

"We'll rest here for a while."

Ruth simply bobbed his head, too tired to even speak.

After gulping down the remnants of his flask, Riftan refilled it with spring water and passed it to the mage.

Ruth slumped on the ground to drink it along with a pinch of salt. When he had managed to settle his breathing again, he asked weakly, "Do you think it'll rain?"

"Yes, and soon," Riftan said brusquely.

He took out a piece of jerky and started chewing it. They only rested for about five minutes before resuming their pace.
