Chapter 64: November in the Northern Regions (2)
November heralded the beginning of the harshest period for the Northerners. A month of intense cold, where the land became covered by snow and the rivers would freeze.
During this month, many wild animals and monsters would be compelled to accumulate large reserves of fat to hibernate during the whole winter.
It was a harsh period where many struggled for their survival.
As the severe cold settled in, thick snowflakes scattered across the land and the nascents froze.
November also marked the end of the hunting season, as the entire ecosystem engaged in a fierce battle for survival.
Predators fiercely hunted their prey, and humans were no different, as they scouted the regions in search of game, for their sustenance and for their dependents.
During this month, a rumor also started to circulate.
A rumor that most would dismiss as nonsense, while those who had witnessed it, passionately proclaimed it to be the truth.
“Can you believe this? A noble actually hunting monsters by himself?”
“Nono, he’s not just hunting monsters, but eating them too!”
This was the rumor circulating through the North.
