Chapter 1501 Cold
After Zurinus, the person in Ning's sight to kill was the Constellation by the name of Langoris. He resided on the verdant planet of Caira, and that was where Ning was going next.
Unlike Zurinus, he decided to not bother playing around while killing this Langoris. Not just him, he decided to kill the next few quickly before he took any time to roam the rest of the planets he visited.
He also needed to kill the close constellations quickly so that they did not realize that there was someone out there killing the constellation.
Ning arrived in a deep gorge, with spectral lighting all around him. A small stream of water flowed next to him, barely making any noise as it flowed through.
Ning looked around and saw the moss-ridded cliffs of the gorge that was over a kilometer tall from where he stood. Trees could be seen all the way at the top, but none were in the gorge around Ning.
Ning looked around, trying to see any sign of life around him. He knew he had asked the system to take him somewhere far away from humans, but he would at least think there would be some animals or insects. There just wasn't anything here that moved. Ning found that a little suspicious. Another thing he found suspicious was the temperature of the gorge. The gorge was cold and a little uncomfortable to be around without any bulky clothes.
Which was concerning for Ning as his body should have been unable to feel cold. Something else was going on in this place.
"System, where am I?" Ning asked.
<You are in the Death Gorge, located at the center of the Agio forest, which lies in the Southernmost continent of the planet of Caria>
<The Agio forest spans over 200 kilometers in all directions, taking up land in 4 different countries in various amounts.
"I see..." Ning said. "And what is up with this cold?"
<The cold you feel is a doing of Langoris>
<It is, in a way, a special aura that has been spread around the world by Lagoris in order to make everyone feel an unusual level of cold as long as they were not devoted to him>
<Langoris has instead set himself up as a god-like figure whose presence alone can provide relief to people from the cold>
He checked their facial and bodily features as well. These people were of completely different races. That was to say that these people had come from somewhere else and were now being used to guard the people of this place.
"Are these people under Langoris?" Ning asked.
<Langoris has a small army following him wherever he goes. These are some of the men in that army>
Ning nodded. He was about to leave when someone tugged on his pants.
Ning turned around and then looked down to find a woman in her late 50s huddled on the ground with only a large furred cloak over her.
She opened her cloak, revealing barely any clothes she was wearing underneath. "Come here, child. You'll get sick if you stay outside in those thin clothes," the old woman said.
Ning looked at the old woman and smiled. He crouched down and closed the woman's furred cloak so she didn't feel any cold.
"What are you doing?" the old woman protested. She tried to open her cloak, but Ning held it shut tightly. "You'll get sick. Get some of my heat."
Ning shook his head. "I'm alright. I don't feel any cold," he said. "Thank you though, for trying to share your heat with me."
"Young man, you'll—"
"Don't worry," Ning caught her off. "It won't be cold for much longer. I'll bring the heat back."
The woman couldn't understand what Ning was saying. Bring the heat back?
"Lagoris bless you, child. You're already sick!" she said.
"He won't be doing anything of that sort much longer," Ning said and stood back up. "I'll be right back."
Then he teleported away.
