446 445: Interesting

As Corey pondered the pros and cons of a permanent ancient seal, Selene's voice flowed into his ears.

"I understand why the citizens of Gravenstone would call their city a cursed and forsaken city. There's an entity beneath us that is so powerful that even seven beings comparable to tier 6s could not defeat..."

"...I mean, I don't know why we're still so calm despite knowing this. What if the entity wakes up in the next second, but anyway, that's not the point..." Selene mumbled a silent curse under her breath before she continued speaking.

Corey and Pamela's lips twitched at the same time because they had heard what she said. The curse was aimed at them.

"As I was saying, I get why the citizens of Gravenstone are anxious and worried. There's a powerful entity beneath them, they're in between two extremely dangerous zones, and they have not been able to produce an Ascendant despite so many years having gone by."

"I get all of this, but what I don't get is why they don't leave. I mean, do they love this place so much that they'd choose to remain here despite all of these? Or is it that they can't leave?"

Selene alternated her gaze from Pamela to Corey, then to Pamela back with a truly baffled expression.

After hearing about the history and situation of Gravenstone, Selene also had the same fear that Corey had.

She had been worried that they'd have to face a being like the Capra King to leave the Starfallen region, but after hearing that they could teleport to another city by using the ancient stone, she was relieved and also baffled at the same time.

'If people could leave, then what was stopping them from leaving such a truly cursed and forsaken region? Was it a sense of duty?'

'If it was, then I don't understand. I was born in the Underworld, and I don't have any sense of attachment towards the Underworld... Well, it's a prison, so...'

Selene mentally shrugged, and then she heard Pamela speak.

"The citizens of Gravenstone can leave, and they can even choose to relocate to another city, however, they and their descendants would never be able to become Ascendants or Dreadkeepers."

"Also, the descendants of the seven Chainbearers are still alive, and they're the seven great families of Gravenstone, but they and their children can never leave the city. They have a responsibility to defend this city and watch out for the awakening of the Starfallen."

"I think it's a curse that was placed on them."

Pamela shrugged indifferently, and Selene's eyes widened slightly in realization.

"That makes more sense," Selene mumbled indifferently, and Pamela turned toward Corey.

"So, what do you plan on doing now?"

Corey leaned back, and then exhaled deeply. He glanced at the blue torch in the parlor, and then he shifted his gaze back to Pamela.

Corey shrugged, "I'm not familiar with the regions of the shattered dimension, so I don't know yet. When I get more information, I'll know where to go."

Pamela nodded with a light smile, "I can help you get into the library for free, and if you need more information, you can meet me."

Corey nodded, and then Pamela stood.

"I need a different type of tea, I'm getting tired of this tea. I'll be back."

Corey nodded absentmindedly, and Selene just gave a 'hmm'.

As Pamela approached the kitchen, blood poured down her lips, and she covered her mouth with her hand.

Blood also dripped down from her eyes, but despite this, a smile could be seen on her face as she stared at a set of runes that only she could see.
