章 368: Sacrifice

For as many centuries back as the people of the Land of Fragrance could remember, their country had never been invaded. The castle walls of the capital, which were full of vines and in a state of disrepair, were proof of this.

There weren't many citizens living in the city; Shili Molo seemed to not have lied. The entire population of the country amounted to only a few thousand people. What was strange was that Gu Shenwei noticed, while observing from the shadows, that the women walking on the streets of the city seemed to attach much importance to their waist sashes. The beauty of theirs was comparable to that of the 10 tribal chiefs who he had met with earlier - this was strikingly dissimilar from the simple waist sashes that the women at the riverside wore.
