Hence, 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.
“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.
