Chapter 1888 Nagarojin

The size of the region over which the ruins spanned was enormous. It exceeded the size of the Town of Hajin and the Capital Town of Vargard in the Kandrian Empire. It was clearly extremely. Buildings had been chopped right down to their very foundations, leaving only the sturdy bases that once supported them.

Piles of rubble from bricks and slabs of stone piled up across the entire region, painting the desolate picture of the erosion of civilization. Nnêw n0vel chapters are published at novelhall.com

Yet, not even time could hide how glorious this city would have been in during its prime. The network of roads indicated an incredibly brilliant vision of civil engineering for the entire metropolis. The foundations and bases of infrastructure revealed an extremely well-thought-out planning for infrastructure allocation.

Just these clues alone allowed one to infer that this was far from a primitive civilization that merely tried to survive.

No.

This was a civilization that thrived.

It was a painful reminder that nothing could last forever.

"How can this be...?" Kane gazed at the ruins with shock. "These aren't years old. Or even decades old. These are centuries old, if not longer! But how? Weren't we much more primitive back then or something? We barely survived outside of the Beast Domain that spanned much of the continent. How in the world did a human city flourish in the Beast Domain?!"

He grew excited. "We need to inform the Adventurer's Guild about this place!"

"They already know," Rui replied calmly. "They have taken to calling it the Lost City of Nagarojin."

Kane's eyes widened with surprise. "Lost City of Nagarojin?"

"Yeah," Rui nodded. "This is the name designated to this particular lost city."

Rui smiled wryly. "First, we find a good place to get some rest."

The two of them tread through the ruins of the Lost City of Nagarojin, observing the various remains of the ruins.

Not much could be inferred due to how much had been eroded by time.

Patched of what used to once have been a road appeared to be constructed by burying slabs of stone into the mud beside each other to form a level path. Considering even a bit of it had managed to survive centuries in the Beast Domain, its endurance could be praised.

"Woah..." Kane murmured as he came across an open space in the ground with straight walls. Something that, once, was clearly manmade. "You think this was like an open bath or a swimming pool of ancient times?"

Rui shrugged, eying a particular spot. "I found us a good spot."

He gestured towards a particular ruin in the distance whose walls were better preserved than any other. Creepers had formed a net atop it, allowing it to serve as a natural shelter. The two young men decided to partake in its shelter for the time being, having traveled more than a day continuously.

"Alright, spit it out," Kane glared at Rui, who enjoyed his impatience.

"I told you," Rui replied, drinking some water. "Nobody knows. There are only hypotheses. One popular hypothesis is the Beast Nativity Hypothesis, which states that human civilization long ago had been integrated into the Beast Domain along with the fantastical fauna and flora of the Beast Domain. This particular hypothesis suggests that the Beast Domain once covered every end of the Panama Continent, and humans lived within it as just one out of many species of the Beast Domain."

"Woah," Kane murmured as his gaze returned to the lost city around him. "That would explain why there was a human city or multiple human cities in the Beast Domain. But that feels off, to be honest."

Rui nodded. "Occam's Razor certainly aids this particular hypothesis due to how simply it follows the evidence. However, there are many gaping questions that present themselves at the behest of this particular hypothesis. What happened? The earliest human records preserved in the Human Domain indicate that humanity was outside the Beast Domain on the very outskirts of the Panama Continent. So how and why did humanity go from inside all the way outside, abandoning the robust and sophisticated civilization that they built in the Beast Domain?"
