The growth sure was extraordinary, I wonder why it was continuously going up and up as my mind is also working just fine.
We were already a mile away from school, but the quest window of mine said,
[Quest: Escape C]
Did the quest rank get increased? Damn, now what was I missing. Suddenly Rehbar asked if I had any idea of what to do next and I with a frozen expression said," We can try to walk a few more miles till we reach Delhi which was approx 368 km from here."
