The God's Games

Even after being captured by Master PungPong and the others, Viscount Hereford was still blaming them, without a single thought of self-reflection.

Who would have thought that as Master PungPong and his group dragged Viscount Hereford out of the manor, the people of Lindblum City, who had come out because of the noise, saw that the demons had disappeared, the manor was destroyed, and someone was carrying Viscount Hereford out.

Were they safe now?

Hope flickered in the people's eyes, but when they looked at Viscount Hereford, a look of hatred crossed their faces.

They had all seen Viscount Hereford with the demons—it was he who brought them into Lindblum City, and it was he who had caused the deaths of their families.

With a "thud," a rotten leaf flew over the players and landed squarely on Viscount Hereford's head.

Viscount Hereford's eyes widened, trying to see who would dare show such disrespect to their lord.

But what he saw was countless people stepping out of their houses and glaring at him with such hostility that it seemed they might tear him apart in the next second.

Viscount Hereford was stunned, just about to speak when someone shouted at him.

"Devil! Get out! You're not welcome here!"

"You're the one who killed my family! Coward!"

"Why aren't you dead yet?"

With the angry shouts came a rain of stones and rotten eggs, all aimed at Viscount Hereford in fury.

Master PungPong and the others watched with delight, though carrying Viscount Hereford out did make it easier to get caught in the chaos.

Otherwise, they would have been happy to see this scene unfold.

After being scolded and hit, Viscount Hereford fell silent.

It seemed the whole experience had shocked him, and he didn't know what to say anymore.

Under the watchful eyes of the onlookers, Master PungPong led Viscount Hereford back to the Black Market, successfully completing the side quest of capturing the Viscount.

He happily received his reward.

Viscount Hereford who is still tied up, stood in front of Mr. Turner and Hanjun.

His chubby face wrinkled up as he looked at them and said, "Standing before you is a Viscount that was granted the title by H.R.S King Varis zos Orinthia. Do you intend to harm a Viscount?"

Mr. Turner laughed, "Nobles, always so arrogant."

Hanjun didn't say anything, just quietly watched him, curious about what he might say next.

Seeing their expressions, Viscount Hereford couldn't help but threaten, "If you harm me, you'll regret it!"

Mr. Turner waved his hand to Dylan, who immediately ordered some people to drag Viscount Hereford away.

Master PungPong asked hesitantly, "What do you plan to do with him?"

Mr. Turner smiled and replied, "We aren't cruel people; we won't take his life."

Master PungPong muttered, "Why do I feel like none of you look like good people?"

But since they had already handed him over, letting him suffer a bit seemed fine.

Master PungPong and his group didn't bother with what happened next.

Five days later, news came from the Royal City of Orinthia.

King Varis Zos Orinthia has been summoning Hanjun, the Holy Son of the Church of Light, for an audience.

Because of Viscount Hereford's negligence, Lindblum City was breached by the demons.

After the demons were cleared out and Viscount Hereford was imprisoned, everyone in Lindblum City learned about this incident.

While condemning their lord, they also wondered who would take charge of Lindblum City now that the Viscount was locked up.

The heroes couldn't do it, and Saradin, being a warlock who loved research, wasn't suited to managing the city.

Mr. Turner, of course, didn't want to get involved in these matters either.

In the end, everyone's eyes turned to Hanjun.

Hanjun raised his eyebrows and said, "Me? No problem."

Having seen and learned so much, he had at least watched how things were done, so he could definitely handle it.

So, Hanjun temporarily became the acting lord of Lindblum City.

The first thing Hanjun did as the lord was to hold a meeting.

After the situation with Viscount Hereford, the people of Lindblum City felt a severe loss of security.

To reassure them and prevent people from leaving, Hanjun had to hold a meeting to calm them down.

He told them that Lindblum City was now under the management of people from the Church of Light, and the Church of Light would not neglect their safety.

Plus, Ulon City had set an example by defending against the demons, so Lindblum City could guarantee their safety too.

Moreover, since Ulon City was focused on resisting the demons, they would need support from other cities for their logistics.

This made Hanjun even more hopeful that Lindblum City could rally and become a strong backup for Ulon City, so they could all resist the demons together.

The meeting had some effect.

At least, the people of Lindblum City stopped feeling so hopeless and began to think about continuing their lives.

After asking the players to pass a message to Father Barry, Hanjun settled in Lindblum City for the time being.

He quickly had the Lindblum City church tidied up.

Looking at the church, which was different from the one in Ulon City, Hanjun sighed and walked over to the statue of the God of Light inside the church.

To the players, it looked like as Hanjun approached the statue, the eyes of the statue lit up after Hanjun interacted with it.

Then, the players saw the system prompt:

[ New respawn point was added. Please click to view .]

Master PungPong was stunned.

Did this mean that the area map was now lit up?

In other words, if something happened to them in Lindblum City, could they now respawn directly in Ulon City?

This was amazing!

The players were excited because they could finally respawn in Lindblum City.

Hanjun, on the other hand, was concerned about who he should appoint as the new Priest that was in charge for the Church in Lindblum City.
