Divpo City
In the Sarawo Mine, deep in the night, Bamuta quietly entered the mine, reaching the depths of the new mineshaft. A black oil lamp hung on the rock wall, and he saw Batty sitting cross-legged in front of the god-like statue. In the dim light of the oil lamp, his eyes shone like flames.
Batty turned to look at Bamuta, smiled slightly, and stood up. "Elder, thank you for your hard work."
Bamuta sighed slightly, using the dim light to observe Batty. He was thinner and darker, with hollow cheeks and a forehead so lean it seemed only a layer of skin needed to be scraped off to reveal the skull. During this time, Batty had been studying this god-like statue here, visually wasting away. Bamuta had tried his best to provide him with precious nutritional food, yet Batty continued to lose weight day by day.
Bamuta was full of worry. He felt a faint trace of Divinity in Batty but not to a significant extent.
