By the time Yexi started using Niluka’s flame magic to inlay crystals, Darmiala’s voice resounded from somewhere nearby .
“Guys, come over here . ”
Long Tu, Dizi and the others peeped and rushed towards the direction where Darmiala’s voice channeled from, leaving Yexi, Niluka, Gui Dong Ri and the others behind .
There were many huts there . They were tiny, yet very spacious when observed close-up . Nitans loved to reside in underground rooms smaller than themselves, which explained the underground chamber in each of the huts .
Darmiala was standing by the door of a hut when she noticed people speeding towards her direction . Immediately, she gestured silently at the hut she was leaning on . Long Tu who was first to arrive took a glance at Darmiala before she turned her head to look at the hut .
A baby Nitan was sleeping on a warm hay bed, the look on its face extremely peaceful . Since their infancy periods, Nitans had bloated bellies and this one was no exception .
Long Tu frowned a little, shifting her posture . Everyone’s expression changed abruptly as thoughts raced across their minds .
“Kill it . There’s a chance it would alert the other Nitans and allow them to track us . Long Tu’s suggested a clean-cut, rather than the painful and gruesome kill that everyone had in mind .

Lunaria noded unconsciously, which amazed Leah, Darmiala and the others . They didn’t expect Lunaria to agree with that plan . After all, Lunaria had always been a gentle princess in their eyes . Civilized and innocent .
And with that, everyone shifted uncomfortable in their shoes .
To Lunaria however, she only followed Long Tu’s suggestions just like Tyre did back when they were fighting together .
DiZi and kept a neutral stand; they did not mind killing the child nor did they mind letting it go . But as for Darmiala and Leah, they were unhappy with that decision .
“Although I agree that we should wipe out this variable before it becomes a problem, but if you think about it carefully, there’s no harm in letting it go for now since we’ve already destroyed the entire tribe anyway . ” Darmiala stated her point but to no avail .
As the culprit of the village’s genocide, DiZi’s didn’t even flinch . It’s not like they’re humans to begin with . And as long as it’s not a crime, it doesn’t really bother me .
“I agree with Darmiala . We shouldn’t kill the baby . ” Leah stood on the side of the pure Darmiala and went against Long Tu’s idea of killing the baby .
“Don’t kill the baby, then . There’s no need to fight over such a trivial matter . ” Long Tu ended the topic promptly . She had seen many teams quarrel over negligible matters previously and ended with their disbandment . To her, these sorts of arguments were a waste of time . Are they happy when they win a debate with their teammates?? How can they feel that way when the only outcome usually brings separation?

Darmiala had obviously noticed the problem and she let out a sigh while shaking her head . She never expected herself to bicker with someone over such a thing . Only Leah was firm with her stance . The baby is innocent .
Although Lunaria really wanted to say something, she kept it to herself since Long Tu had already agreed with Darmiala’s plan . Underlying threats as such should be eliminated . While I may seem cold-blooded for wanting to kill it, but what if we really let it go and a problem arises in the future? Plus, we’ve killed so many Nitans before . Killing one or two more wouldn’t make much of a difference .
In a nutshell, Lunaria found it hard to understand Leah and Darmiala’s standpoints .
With that matter coming to an end, everyone regrouped with Yexi and Niluka . Upon seeing their return, Gui Dong Ri could not help but ask,
“Did something happen?”
Yexi and Niluka looked over at them after hearing Gui Dong Ri’s question .
“There was a Nitan baby and we decided not to kill it .
Long Tu’s words made Yexi frown on the spot . Leah responded with a brief ‘Oh’ only while Gui Dong Ri smiled as she nodded . Luna observed their expressions attentively . There was one faction who supported Long Tu’s idea, another one who stood by Darmiala’s while the others didn’t care . It was these tiny details that she got to learn more about her teammates .
Yexi, Long Tu, and her felt that it was better to get rid of the roots of all problems . Meanwhile, DiZi, Niluka, and Angel kept their neutral stance by keeping quiet . As for Darmiala and Gui Dong Ri, they were the ones who were innocent and forgiving of others .

This scenario has clearly become a three-sided situation . Lunaria thought carefully and realized she could assess everyone’s values with such a small detail . Of course, she may be wrong with her evaluation on their characteristics .
“Yexi, how’s the progress with your work?”
“Done . ” Yexi stood up and nodded briefly at Niluka .
“Thank you . ”
“Ah, no big deal . Just make me an army-grade magic wand next time . ” Niluka reminded Yexi once more, indicating that she was, indicating that it was not a joke . Yexi just smiled and nodded in assurance .
Then, she looked at Long Tu .
“The purple crystal is embedded on the inside of the upper half of the sword . ”
“Okay . ” Long Tu reached out to retrieve the long sword . But her hand froze in midair halfway through; she turned and looked at Lunaria,
“Lunaria, have this sword . ”
“What?! Is… is this appropriate? This sword is a top tier army-grade weapon . Or maybe even better!” Lunaria panicked as she didn’t see this development .
“Why? You don’t want it? I’ll give it to Leah, then . ”
“I do! I do! I do!” Lunaria nodded continuously . You want me to give up such a precious sword? Who are you kidding? Since Long Tu gave it to her as a present, she took it with her mind at ease . She was never a demanding person and if someone were to gift her something, she would accept it without a doubt .
Lunaria giggled with excitement as she drew the sword out at the very moment she took it over from Yexi’s hands .
*Schwing!* Lunaria thought she heard the waves howling, a faint breeze brushing over her body, purifying the air that was ever so suffocating to breathe in .
This truly is an excellent sword . Her elation was evident and hilarious to look at, and Leah even burst out in laughter at her jeering sight . This girl really likes to take advantages of people!
Long Tu couldn’t refrain from laughing as well,
“This sword is named Stillwater, and it’s a beautiful sword befitting a beautiful lady like you . Haha . ”
