Katerina's malicious teasing didn't last long.
The distant church was suddenly illuminated by flames blown over by the wind from the plain.
The glow of a gigantic torch spread out, even brightening the edge of the town.
"Damn it, why now!" Katerina cursed under her breath at the scene.
"What is it?" Lu Li observed the torch, almost feeling the heat of the flames.
"Disaster..." Katerina looked south. "Light Thief."
A shadow, as grand as a mountain peak, was rising from the depths of the wilderness.
"It will snuff out the sky in the final moments of dusk, continuing the eternal night for several days." Katerina's tone carried a tinge of pessimism.
The wilderness during eternal night would become extremely dangerous, with safe zones shrinking over time. Even the most experienced hunters wouldn't recklessly leave town during the eternal night.
Waiting for the eternal night to pass is the only option, but a huge problem lay before Katerina: she couldn't afford to support Lu Li.
