Bab 183: 183 Pine Forest Town (Lower) _1

Under the ruthless cold wind, the streets of Pine Forest Town were scarcely populated.

The unbearable price of grain was causing a continuous loss of residents in this small town of the North Territory, resulting in an even more desolate scene.

Reportedly, the hot-tempered Lord had taken more than a thousand soldiers to the Ice Rock City, vowing to bring back those fled subjects.

However, before any subjects were returned, a startling piece of news arrived —

The Lord of Pine Forest, Baron Lomba, had been killed in Ice Rock City!

No one knew where this news originated, but it quickly spread across the town. Within a day, almost everyone in Pine Forest knew about it.

But strangely, members of the Lomba family did not confirm the veracity of this piece of information.

Of course, they did not deny it either.

For a while, the streets and alleys, taverns and inns of Pine Forest were all buzzing with discussions about this shocking news.

More and more details started to surface.
