Chapter 1881 Faith Energy
Hence, Jared aimed to calm Austin down by restating the purpose of his being in Norham.
“What a pity. I was hoping you could stay a few more days in Norham. Nonetheless, please feel free todrop by Norham whenever you're free. This place is far and isolated, but the sceneries here are notbad. However, we are lacking in terms of resources.”
Despite what he said, Austin was actually grinning from ear to ear.
Regardless of the reason behind Jared's arrival, his advent had indeed caused Austin considerablemental stress.
“Mr. Zagorski, there is something I wish to know, but I'm not sure if it is an appropriate question to ask,”Jared said. novelbin
“There's no need to behave so courteously around me, Mr. Chance. Please ask away. I'll tell youeverything I know,” Austin answered with utmost sincerity.
Jared asked curiously, “Mr. Zagorski, since the Zagorski family is established in Norham, a place withscarce resources, may I know how you cultivate? I heard you cultivate by absorbing this entire city'snatural energy.”
Austin burst out laughing after listening to Jared's inquiry.
“Hahaha! Do you believe in that hearsay too, Mr. Chance? Who am I to have the capacity to absorb thecity's natural energy? Those are just some fake rumors circulating in public. All I'm doing is utilizing mystatus to soak up some citizens' faith energy. As Norham's mayor, it is still within my power to haveevery household install a statue of me in their residence. Moreover, my ancestors passed down a set oftechniques that enabled me to cultivate using faith energy from the crowd. That said, the little amountof energy is far from helpful. If one truly wishes to strengthen one's abilities, one will still need to rely ona large number of resources. If I'm really able to take in Norham's natural energy, I won't still be coopedup in this small border city,” Austin explained to Jared.
“Faith energy...”
Clarity washed over Jared. This technique that's passed down in the Zagorski family seems similar tothe skill used by the blood demon on Encanta Island previously. That blood demon also relied on themass to worship his statue to absorb their spiritual energy.
However, he didn't share Austin's belief about faith energy being inefficacious in boosting one'scultivation.
Austin found faith energy to be impotent because Norham was too small and had too few citizens. Inaddition, those citizens might not revere him to a great extent, so the effect of faith energy feltnegligible to Austin, but what if the faith energy was amassed from people living in a large city with adense population, a country, or even the whole world?
With such a large number of contributors, the intensity of the faith energy would undoubtedly besubstantial.
Nevertheless, convincing many people to worship one person would be arduous.
Still, Jared was beginning to harbor an interest in a technique like that.
While Jared was chatting with Austin, Jessica had returned to Demon Sect.
“Mr. Sullivan, bad news.”
She sought Patrick out upon reaching Demon Sect.
“What's wrong, Jessica?” Patrick furrowed his brows slightly.
“Mr. Chance was taken away by the Zagorski family's scion, Kayson. Hurry up and think of a way torescue him!” she said.
“He was taken away by someone from the Zagorski family? Why do they want to lay hold of him?” heasked in bafflement.
Jessica could only recount the conflict with Kayson to Patrick, but she didn't mention the matterregarding how Flaxseed had taken advantage of her.
“This scion from the Zagorski family is such a fool. I can't believe he has the audacity to capture Jared,”Patrick chirped.
Noticing his nonchalance and amusement, Jessica asked in puzzlement, “Mr. Sullivan, hurry up andsend someone to rescue Mr. Chance. Aren't we planning to collaborate with him?”
“Don't worry, Jared will be fine. If he can't even handle a little clan like the Zagorski family, what's the
point of us working together with him? I'm sure he'll be all right, but the same couldn't be said for theZagorski family. You should go back to where you came from. Otherwise, Jared won't be able to openthe door to the secret realm on his own,” Patrick elaborated calmly.
