C37 In the Midst of Hunger(1)

The Elders Guild kept their promise. I had to flee all the way to the Lut Gholein before I saw the joint pursuit notice of the Mount Arreat.

The Arreat used political tactics, and all the tribes and kingdoms sent out invitations to join in the hunt. Only those who offended the undying king's inexorable law would receive this kind of treatment. Fortunately, after arriving at Lut Gholein, my journey of escaping on land has basically come to an end. From Lut Gholein to the west is Rogge. Father has already arranged the time and route for me.

The years of arduous cultivation has made my body exceptionally sturdy and robust. With such a physique, it is very easy for others to recognize my Warrior Arreat identity. In order to not attract the attention of the Lut Gholein guards, I spent a large sum of money to hire a luxurious carriage. Those who possess wealth have some special privileges. When they see my super luxurious carriage, the guards probably don't want to offend the nobles, so they didn't search my carriage. Thus, I easily entered the city gate of Lut Gholein, and smoothly boarded the merchant ship heading towards Rogge.

While sailing on the sea, the ship I was on encountered pirates. In order to not attract the attention of others and expose my whereabouts, I could only swallow my anger and hand over all my money. I also clearly remember that when the pirates took my money bag, they muttered: "He looks quite strong, but why is he so pustules?" These words made me uncomfortable for many days. If it wasn't for my father telling me to cherish my life, how would I have suffered from such pettiness? The war pike pirates that I have on me don't know what it is, so they didn't snatch it away. When I came to Rogge, I had no money, so I was poor. Only that war pike was my only property.

Rogge was a vast grassland, and there was no official government organization. The biggest religion here was nunnery. Because the Rogge was under the influence of the Lady of Pain, there was no political relationship between the various countries. This place became a haven for refugees. No matter which country you are a criminal, or how serious your crimes are, as long as you successfully escape to Rogge, you will be able to escape the punishment of the law. It was said that the Lady of Pain was extremely ferocious, and she was an anarchist. No political power dared to provoke her.

That mysterious Lady of Pain, I have never interacted with her in the years I spent in the Rogge.

Due to the reputation of the Sanctuary, Rogge is a multi-ethnic mixed region. The number of people who escaped from other countries to this region is much greater than the population of the indigenous people here. It was precisely because of the mixed ethnicities that the Rogge had become a truly colorful world. The culture of all the countries in the world had settled down here. You could meet mages, warriors, archers, witch doctors on the streets at the same time, monks, holy warrior, beast tamers as long as you wanted a job. You could meet them in the Rogge.

In Rogge, there has never been a lack of masters and extraordinary people. Of course, there will also be no lack of ferocious and vicious people. Due to the state of anarchism, there is no official organization to maintain the law and order here. Therefore, the law of the jungle and cheating were common here.

But I like it here, there are no political dark clouds here, it is a free country. Although the law of the jungle is strong, it is not the law of the jungle. More importantly, everyone here has their own unique and distinct personality. All living beings were equal, and no one had to bow to anyone. As long as there are two organisations here that are more disciplined, one is the Sister's Association, and the other is the Sister's Association. The other is a mercenary organization. However, the Sister's Association would never interfere with the lives of ordinary people. They only wanted their mental cultivation to be complete. The mercenary organization did things that involved money and people. They could do anything with money. If they did not have money, they would not do anything. Therefore, they would not rely on the organization to bully others. Moreover, the name of the Lady of Pain hung above their heads like a sharp sword. No one dared to deliberately strengthen the organization's influence. Thus, they could achieve relative equality and balance.

Rogge, in a sense, is my second hometown. I have truly embarked on the path of the strong there.

When I first arrived in Rogge, the most troublesome thing I encountered was the problem of eating. There were no beggars in Rogge, and no one here sympathized with those who earned without working. Everyone relies on their own hard work to live, so I didn't even have the chance to beg along the street. I can't just wander around the grassland all day long and occasionally kill a rabbit to pass my days, right?

I've already been hungry for two days and spent two nights under the bridge outside the town, plagued by mosquitoes and insects. The first time I left Arreat, my lonely life all year round made me suffer from a bit of autism. I have a deeper fear of interacting with strangers. I wander the streets. I don't know how to make a living.
