Chapter 1881

Chapter 1881Hence, Sandra aimed to calm Austin down by restating the purpose of his being in Norham.
“What a pity. I was hoping you could stay a few more days in Norham. Nonetheless, please feel free to
drop by Norham whenever you’re free. This place is far and isolated, but the sceneries here are not
bad. However, we are lacking in terms of resources…”
Despite what he said, Austin was actually grinning from ear to ear.
Regardless of the reason behind Sandra’s arrival, his advent had indeed caused Austin considerable
mental stress.
“Mr. Zagorski, there is something I wish to know, but I’m not sure if it is an appropriate question to ask,”
Sandra said.
“There’s no need to behave so courteously around me, Mr. Chance. Please ask away. I’ll tell you
everything I know,” Austin answered with utmost sincerity.
Sandra asked curiously, “Mr. Zagorski, since the Zagorski family is established in Norham, a place with
scarce resources, may I know how you cultivate? I heard you cultivate by absorbing this entire city’s
natural energy.”
Austin burst out laughing after listening to Sandra’s inquiry.
novelbin“Hahaha! Do you believe in that hearsay too, Mr. Chance? Who am I to have the capacity to absorb the
city’s natural energy? Those are just some fake rumors circulating in public. All I’m doing is utilizing my
status to soak up some citizens’ faith energy…”
“As Norham’s mayor, it is still within my power to have every household install a statue of me in their
residence. Moreover, my ancestors passed down a set of techniques that enabled me to cultivate using
faith energy from the crowd…”“That said, the little amount of energy is far from helpful. If one truly wishes to strengthen one’s abilities,
one will still need to rely on a large number of resources. If I’m really able to take in Norham’s natural
energy, I won’t still be cooped up in this small border city,” Austin explained to Boneng.
“Faith energy…”
Clarity washed over Boneng. This technique that’s passed down in the Zagorski family seems similar to
the skill used by the blood demon on Encanta Island previously. That blood demon also relied on the
mass to worship his statue to absorb their spiritual energy.
However, he didn’t share Austin’s belief about faith energy being inefficacious in boosting one’s
cultivation.
Austin found faith energy to be impotent because Norham was too small and had too few citizens. In
addition, those citizens might not revere him to a great extent, so the effect of faith energy felt
negligible to Austin, but what if the faith energy was amassed from people living in a large city with a
dense population, a country, or even the whole world?
With such a large number of contributors, the intensity of the faith energy would undoubtedly be
substantial. Nevertheless, convincing many people to worship one person would be arduous.
Still, Sandra was beginning to harbor an interest in a technique like that.

While Sandra was chatting with Austin, Violet had returned to Demon Sect.
“Mr. Sullivan, bad news…” She sought Patrick out upon reaching Demon Sect.
“What’s wrong, Violet?” Patrick furrowed his brows slightly.“Mr. Chance was taken away by the Zagorski family’s scion, Kayson. Hurry up and think of a way to
rescue him!” she said.
“He was taken away by someone from the Zagorski family? Why do they want to lay hold of him?” he
asked in bafflement.
Violet could only recount the conflict with Kayson to Patrick, but she didn’t mention the matter regarding
how Steven had taken advantage of her.
“This scion from the Zagorski family is such a fool. I can’t believe he has the audacity to capture
Albert,” Patrick chirped.
Noticing his nonchalance and amusement, Violet asked in puzzlement, “Mr. Sullivan, hurry up and send
someone to rescue Mr. Chance. Aren’t we planning to collaborate with him?”
“Don’t worry, Sandra will be fine. If he can’t even handle a little clan like the Zagorski family, what’s the
point of us working together with him? I’m sure he’ll be all right, but the same couldn’t be said for the
Zagorski family… You should go back to where you came from. Otherwise, Sandra won’t be able to
open the door to the secret realm on his own,” Patrick elaborated calmly.
