Chapter 939: Hearthfire

Once the artificial gravity had stablised once again, Hao Ren and his group continued their trek towards Hearthfire. Now Willy knew that why there were no patrols around. They had already received communications from their holdings and had already departed for safety. Perhaps this was a good thing as he did not have to worry about being caught, and his head becoming a curio for some lord.

"You can predict when the gra... I mean the 'Rising' will happen?" Nangong Sanba asked.

"The scholars know how to predict them." Willy was animated as he tried to explain. "They will monitor the light inside the deep chasms, and listen to the sounds that comes from that, so that they could issue a warning before the 'Rising' happens. But it is not perfect, and the Earth Mother will suddenly lose her powers. So those who had failed to predict will suffer a lashing for their error."
