Looking at Lee's silly smile, Daniel guessed what was on his mind. He said, "That's what happens when you get crippled. The elemental energies in your body are disrupted and you age as a regular human."
"So Duvant was a bigger retard than I though." Lee said, "To cripple the hand that has been feeding him …"
"He had no choice." Daniel said, "They would've found a reason to cut off your leg in a few years as well. Artificers are too dangerous."
"Right!" Lee remembered, "Your weapon was perfect. I was hit by a bit of backlash, but it's fine. You should've seen his head blow up!"
"Daniel's weapon?" Simone asked, looking at Lee, then his aged son.
"Mhm." Lee nodded, "I've no clue about crafting."
This was heard by everyone in the hall, and the only one who didn't stare at Lee in shock was Donk. The guy stood at the door, hoping for guards to barge in so he could have some action.
"Alright!" Simone recovered first, "Who are you and what are you doing in Droskar Dominion?"
