Chapter 1115: Section 694: Hope and Despair (Part 2)_2
"Those are the outsiders who have been living in Thainan since the Great Cataclysm. They intermarry to maintain their bloodlines and sometimes follow us to the Western Human World to buy female captives. However, after the Lord of Justice presided over the Civilization Pact of Westland, there has been much less war between human kingdoms, so these guys can only buy those merchant ladies who have fallen into debt."

"I’m also eager to see New Hangzhou," Malin said. He wondered if West Lake was still there if the Broken Bridge still stood, and if that pool of water could still reflect the moon.
Malin was looking forward to it.
