บท 262: Jade Basin

"You all know nothing about the Abandoned Region, do you?" 

Xasha side-eyed his master. "Have you ever been there?"

"No," Ana replied flatly.

"Do you know anyone that's been there?" Xasha asked again.

"Ink went there a few hundred years back, but he said that place was too stink and polluted to stomach. He said staying there for more than a few minutes was inhumane self-torture."

Xasha frowned. He understood pollution, but stink? What's so stink about Sutherland? For him, other than the low concentration of Imperium, Sutherland is the best place to be. He decided not to argue with Ana about this and that because it wouldn't go anywhere.

Xasha sighed. "What you've said is the most important characteristic of the region."

"That it's stink?" Ana looked at him fiercely. Was he trying to be funny at a time like this?
