Was expecting something bad and I got that right. Question is what he needs to do this but that will be for later. Can't save anyone but the least is to get info when we catch him.
"Sig, we're leaving. Can't do anything yet but I got something in mind for later."
"Uhh, umm yea, OK. Let's go back."
***
The way they got in, same way they got out and ran all the way to the church. Adam stayed a distance away at the top of a roof leading to the alley, staying quietly and watching the path. He was waiting, patiently and not moving knowing that sig is in his room.
***
[Later, he sees the father. He watches, and perfectly time the father in the neck knocking him out. He slowly drags his body toward the forest and forces him down the hole that sig found.]
Damn, this father is fat, that's one guess to were most of the money is going to. [Dusts himself of.] Well, I got an hour of interaction so let this be something useful. [He ties a rope to the tree and slides down.] Let me do that first before he wakes up.
As father slowly wakes up, "Uh, uh, what... we're am I, [looks ahead.] Adam, why am I, what you doing?"
"Simple, saw you selling the orphans of the church, and can't say it's morals or emphatic but sig was there. Got to act to get the friend meter up."
" And I'm more intrigued with what you can give. Information, a crying reason or begging from you, father."
"And what you going to do. [As he trys to move his right arm, then his left then his legs.] Uhuh...uh... my arms, my legs, what did you. WHAT DID YOU DO ADAMMMM."
Covering his ear. "And your loud. Nothing special really, [demonstrating,] injected my mana to your spine, more accurately were the motor functions all happen. You can say I turned of your arms and legs. Don't worry, the fun hasn't started just yet."
Controlling his mana to create some medical tools. "Hope you aren't squarish, I hate for you to permanently lose something."
***
For the next hour, the father went through torture that broke him, slowly and brutally, giving all the information that Adam wanted just to make it stop. It lasted exactly hour before the father died from shock. Adam got wanted anyway so it didn't matter to the father.
***
Now that was some good info given by him, didn't expect an early is planning a war in the LEURA kingdom. Nobility against themselves, to bad he didn't know the reason but good thing its happening seven years from now. Gives me alot of time to get what I want. Now, [looking at the corpse,] Maybe sig can help bury the body if I ask him to. Friendly bond if you both share your secrets.
[Early in the morning. ]
"Hey sig, wake up. We got work to do."
"Ugh, hmm. What is it?
"Bury a body."
Sig looks at him thinking he must not be feeling well. "Hmm, yea right."
He later sees the father's dead body in that hole and looks at it, as he thinks of a response.
"Don't be that shocked, if we left him alive we could have been next on that wagon to be sold."
He slowly nods," yea, your right. [As he hold the shovel.] Then let's finish this quick before the morning gatherers arrive."
Sig seems to be taking it well, though can't say I did lie for the reason of doing it but still it's a win situation. Thank you father, for tightening our brotherly bond, I couldn't do it without you. May you rest in hell.

News we're heard, the father disappeared. The city searched for him for a while before rumors started to spread, maybe he was dealing or was a fugitive running from the law but soon enough it died down and everything went back to quiet murmur. Something else intrigued Adam, something really special.
***
"Did you here there is a labyrinth not far from the forest."
Looking at sig, "Did you eat something bad cause it's too early for your humor."
"I'm not joking, are you willing to follow me."
[They go to the place just to see guards protecting the entrance as they get closer, there stopped.]
"Halt, children aren't allowed to get close to this place. We don't know what type of monsters are in this place."
An actual labyrinth. Thought I'll meet them later but this is extremely early.
***
Labyrinths. No-one really knows how there formed on appear but people believes differ. Some say it's a trial made by the gods, others believing that the king of all demons makes the to appear in the mortal plain but people still follow and dive down the labyrinths filled with monsters, unimaginable horror and an absolute possibility of death. Wealth, god like items some even give the person who cleared it something beyond magic and aura, a knox. This gives someone a blessing or curse. A power that overturn a whole war, but those are highly rare. Only ten are known to be held by influential people. They do have a time limit. Past that point, monsters start to flood the real world.

"Adam, we better go, remember sister said we got to help in the congregation today."
"Ooh, yea let's go, [looking at the labyrinth entrance. ] we got some work to do."
[Later in the day in his room.]
Now this was some news today. An actual labyrinth, hoping to get a chance inside but I can't just walts in, can't put my life on the line just for some small thrill. I got to plan this out, don't know how long before they clear it or a monster wave comes out, but I will get what I want.
****
Nothing really changes through two years and mercenaries dive into the labyrinth, the city still as calm as ever and Adam and Sigurd training and increasing there effort. Soon though, something happens that shakes the city and the kingdom. It seems that some forces are pushing it for there own goal.
