Chapter 420: How to Live as a Wandering Knight (1)
Above Ground. In a remote village in the southern continent, 'Wakewack'.
This village, which had always been warm and humid and had abundant fruit crops, had been suffering from unprecedented drought and famine in recent decades, even hundreds of years.
The drought is so extreme that the ground is parched and cracked, and the trees and grasses are not only dying, but burning to a crisp.
Wildfires of epic proportions have scorched the mountains and dried up the lakes, decimating the wild animals and aquatic species.
Open dungeons everywhere are causing monster damage to explode.
Whiiiiing-
A hot, dry wind carries ash.
It blows from the opposite mountain range, which has been reduced to a pile of charcoal by a forest fire.
These pungent ash blowing in with the wind sucked up every bit of moisture that was left, further impoverishing people's spirits.
...And.
Across the desolate wasteland, a wanderer made his way.
