The expression on Lan He's face visibly stiffened. Not daring to hide anything further, he quickly bowed and explained, "I cannot hide anything from Your Excellency."
"Actually, the questions you've asked can all be explained by a single answer. Before the Gray Race was annihilated, they left behind a curse. Any race that participated in that war, along with their descendants, will encounter something terrible if they so much as set foot in the city's ruins."
"What kind of terrible thing?"
"I don't know. But basically, none who have entered have ever returned. One of our Fishman Race ancestors was lucky enough to escape the ruins, but he was insane when he came back. Not long after, he drowned."
Qin Ziwen was a little surprised. "A Fishman drowned?"
Fishmen were a race that could live underwater. This was as absurd as a fish drowning in water.
