Chapter 155 11:02 Thu, 17 Apr Chapter 155 Chapter 155 As the party entered Plutonville, everyone immediately felt the intense heat wave hitting them. While the rest of the regions had already transitioned into the coolness of autumn. Plutonville still sweltered under the peak of summer, its heat unbearable.
At this moment, the town had endured three months of drought, with not a single drop of rain falling As a result, the fields that should have been growing crops were dry and cracked, producing no harvest. The riverbeds were exposed, the land barren, and the surroundings chaotic.
Here and there, people could be seen, their bodies emaciated and frail from hunger. Swere kneeling by the roadside, begging for food, while others were clawing at the roots of trees, searching for something to eat.

Seeing such dire conditions, everyone instinctively quickened their pace. It wasn't just to avoid the refugees; it was in that moment that they all realized why the governor of Plutonville had been so desperate to organize this rain ritual.
If the people's grievances were not addressed soon, Plutonville might descend into chaos "Speed up, we must arrive before nightfall, Nolan ordered.
"Yes, Your Highness. Under the protection of Black Flag, the convoy swiftly moved on.
It was nearly sunset when they finally arrived at the governor's estate in Plutonville, Jenson Pearson, who had received the news ahead of time, led a group of officials to greet them. "Greetings, Your Highness, Holy Lady of Walden" The official salutation drew the attention of the surrounding townspeople. When the Holy Lady of Walden made her appearance, many citizens gathered around, eager to catch a glimpse of her.
Nolan cast a glance at Jenson, who wiped the sweat from his forehead, his nerves evident. "Your Highness, please forgive me. In the past few days, the governor's estate has been surrounded by the people several times. "The citizens are in unrest, and I am powerless to resolve it. This is the only solution I could cup with." Jenson believed that the arrival of the Prince Regent and the Holy Lady of Walden would surely calm the anxious crowds.
Nolan saw through Jenson's thoughts with just a glance but said nothing in response.
"Serenity, you may disembark now" After assessing the situation around them, Nolan knocked on the side of the carriage.

As soon as Eliza descended, Jenson, so moved that he forgot his earlier greeting, knelt before her once more. "Greetings, Holy Lady" So this is the Holy Lady? She is so beautiful, like an angel. How wonderful. Whether the rain ritual succeeds or not, her presence will certainly put the people as ease, Jenson thought to himself.
"Is that the Holy Lady?" "Looks like it." 1/2 11:02 Thu, 17 Apr Chapter 155
"I heard she was personally appointed by His Majesty, the first Holy Lady in Bortenland "She's truly stunning" "Why has the Holy Lady cto Plutonville?" Tm not sure. It looks like Mr. Pearson invited her." "Could she be here for tomorrow's rain ritual? "Could she be the one to host it?"
