Chapter 276: Feast of the Great Hunt
“I’, “I’m a ritualist from the Natta County”
Natta County… Annan frowned slightly
He had indeed heard of this location, and it wasn’t a good place
Natta County was at a viscount land close to the western border of the Noah Kingdo, but the difference was that it was barren further west
Indeed, the westerndom
In the past few decades, the Natta County had its plains by the west of the city eroded by the Gray Mists, and a third of the urban area consumed in it However, the erosion rate was halved after five years
At this distance, the barrier couldn’t block off the penetration of the Gray Mists completely
The curse was like dust, visible to the naked eye, tainting the air in the city The entire toas painted grey during the day, and the sky turned blood red as night approached
Ordinary people who lived in such places were prone to developing chronic diseases within a few years After all, the water source was quite likely to be polluted by the curse Long-terreatly weaken the regular civilians
Those food exposed to the air would even grow mold within a couple of days The rate of decay for fresh etables, and fruits was tripled than that of the mainland If one were to eat food contaminated by the curse, the victim would most possibly die in a short time due to an acute infection
Natta County’s feudal lord had evacuated inland and abandoned the city because of the situation The city guards and the polices quickly evacuated in the absence of wages Without law and order, many vicious robberies andcaravans no longer went to Natta County, and the Silver Sire Church had also evacuated because of that
Soon, warning signs were installed, warning the passersby not to enter and persuading people in the city to leave as quickly as possible
But obviously, the warning sign couldn’t stop those Transcended criminals who craved power, ordinary people ere in a fanatical pursuit to become Transcended, and wanted crin itself was stolen in the first month after it was erected
In the end, Natta County became lawless
The indescribable o directly into the city to hunt Soer for poould enter Natta County and live near the Gray Mists while staying inside the protective barrier With that, their body would absorb the vicious curse in the Gray Mists This would cause their erosion rate to rise sharply, and their teradually becorowth in power, at least until the peak of Bronze Rank
These illegal Transcendeds weren’t h profile As a result, fights happened intensely, leading to hththt be born at any time
There were no “ordinary people” here at all
Even those who gave up their social status and becaees in an inland city had a far better life than living in Natta County
In fact, in some cities within Noah’s inland, “Natta County people” were directly referred to as “refugees”
This was a group of homeless people which the vast rew up in a vile environ members such as thieves, scammers, human traffickers, etc Those were their specialties
But on the contrary, “Transcended” abilities, which were generally kept secret elsewhere, were nearly public in Natta County They subconsciously absorbedthehtmare However, Transcended born in this50 at the start of their journey
The taboo knowledge in beco a ritualist would also be circulated in Natta County to fight against the Transcended
The dangers of this technology wouldn’t deter the Natta County’s people
Once you stay in a precarious city, the taboos and dangers of ritualist knowledge see poison was a nor condition
Indeed, explosion…
Annan thought of this and asked, “Are you from Natta County?”
“Yes, I’ve been in Natta County for 40 years”
“Then why did you leave the Natta County?”
“Naturally… to serve my master”
The old man whispered, “I won’t say his name He was the one who took o to school and have a normal job I oweme this htly, but he didn’t say much
Ken Carter should have realized it
