Chapter 447: The Princess is Still Here
Everyone at the Funeral was momentarily stunned. Igor hesitated and said, “You mean that anonymous ranking list that only the unfortunate can join?”
“Seems like you all don’t know.” Helephes responded with a nod, “That’s right, Purple Moth only ran a small firm before, so it’s normal not to be aware of this secret.”
Annan frowned: “Besides the lack of rewards, what other secrets does this ranking list hold?”
“Wrong, wrong.” Helephes waggled her finger, “The lack of rewards is just a facade… Don’t just stand there, keep moving.”
Once the land-dwellers resumed their huffing and puffing, the Sea Witch continued, “You might think that the individuals on the ‘Ranking of the Unrelated’ are probably some lonely, forsaken children, right? In reality, over the past century, the ranked individuals on this list are often direct descendants from consortium families like the Kaesrei, Mercury, and Roland families.”
She paused, her voice becoming a bit somber, “My niece is also one of the ranked individuals. It’s one of the few rankings that us Sirens can still join.”
This time, Annan was genuinely surprised: “So the Gospel Ranking deliberately hides the rewards, and that’s why you all still strive to get on it? Is there actually a significant benefit to being ranked?”
“Rather than hiding the rewards, it’s more like they are indescribable.” Helephes said calmly, “Moreover, there is indeed no benefit to being ranked. As the rumors go, once the ranked individual reaches adulthood, they suddenly vanish without a trace.”
“Nevertheless, while it’s not beneficial for the ranked individuals, it does benefit others.”
