Chapter 221: Capturing Viscount Hereford (Part 4)
Currently, he had not found anyone among his followers with the same abilities as Father Barry.
Hanjun had no candidates in mind.
Hanjun also thought about another issue.
If the game opened for public testing, Ulon City alone wouldn't be able to accommodate all the players.
There needed to be a few more starting villages.
In Hanjun's view, Lindblum City was his backup starting village, so it definitely needed an NPC here.
During the time Hanjun was deciding, many players came running from Ulon City after hearing that a new respawn point had opened in Lindblum City.
For players, a new map meant a new respawn point, which they definitely wanted to activated first.
Plus, a new map meant new quests.
Ulon City was too crowded, which made the gaming experience less enjoyable.
Lindblum City shouldn't have too many people competing with them for quests.
The arrival of more and more heroes brought new energy to Lindblum City.
The city began to change a bit.
Hanjun didn't know that, not far from Lindblum City, a humble-robed missionary was checking his location, wiping away sweat, and continuing towards Lindblum City.
This person had sensed the divine energy shockwave Hanjun released in the Abyss Zone and believed in the news of the God of Light awakening.
He had come all the way from the distant west.
At this calm moment, Hanjun received a letter from the Royal City of Orinthia, asking him, the Holy Son of the Church of Light, to go for an audience with the king.
Hanjun looked at the royal decree brought by the Royal Knight and didn't speak for a long time.
The Royal Knight, not receiving a response from Hanjun, did not plan to leave and urged him, "Holy Son?"
Hanjun said, "Is it the king who wants me to go to the Royal City of Orinthia for an audience?"
Hanjun was relieved that Father Barry was not with him at the moment.
If Father Barry had known about this, he would surely be furious and protest to the king.
Was the king trying to provoke a god?
Did he want to shorten his own life?
However, Hanjun himself was not very concerned about these matters.
What worried him more was why the king had chosen this particular time for the audience.
A long time ago, he had people spread the news about the Church of Light, so if the king wanted to see him, he would have sent the order earlier.
But the decree only came now.
Was it because the king had seen what he did in the Abyss Zone, or was it because of what Viscount Hereford had said before, and the king had already prepared for this?
Hanjun said, "I understand, but I need to make some arrangements here before I set out."
The Royal Knight nodded his head in understanding, "Please make sure to prepare quickly."
Since he had to go to the Royal City of Orinthia, Hanjun had to tell Father Barry about it.
Just as he expected, Father Barry was not comfortable with Hanjun going to the Royal City of Orinthia.
Not only there's the Order of the Shattering Light that was still chasing after him, but Hanjun wouldn't know what he will face there alone; it seemed too dangerous no matter how you looked at it.
As the God of Light, Hanjun helplessly said, "Aren't there also the players?"
He couldn't possibly go to the Royal City of Orinthia without bringing the players along; it was a great chance for them to experience the storyline.
Besides, Hanjun had his reasons for going to the Royal City of Orinthia.
Ulon City, where they were located, was part of the Kingdom of Orinthia.
In order to avoid this country causing them trouble, it was better not to refuse the king's command.
Also, it seemed like the king wanted to maintain a good relationship with the Church of Light, so Hanjun had no reason to decline the invitation.
There was another point: Hanjun had heard that aside from Ulon City and Lindblum City, Viscount Hereford's territory also included a small, remote place called Canaan Town.
If that place also fell under the control of the Church of Light, Hanjun would have three places that could serve as beginner villages for the players.
The other reason was that, since the Royal City of Orinthia already knew about the Church of Light, this would be a good opportunity to promote it and gain more followers.
When Hanjun said this, Father Barry became even more worried.
After all, spreading the word about the God of Light should have been the job of his followers.
But since they hadn't thought of it and had let the God of Light do it himself, didn't that mean they weren't sincerely serving him?
Father Barry quickly apologized to Hanjun.
Of course, Hanjun knew that Father Barry had been doing his best to help him during this time, so there was nothing to apologize for.
Hanjun said this because he felt that the final battle would come soon, and he needed to gather more faith energy to restore his divine power.
If his guess was correct, the open beta of the game might be coming soon, so he needed to prepare for that.
After Hanjun explained, Father Barry could no longer refuse his plan and could only reluctantly watch as Hanjun packed his things and chose a few players to accompany him to the Royal City of Orinthia.
Father Barry couldn't go with him because Ulon City still needed his command.
As he watched Hanjun prepare to leave, Father Barry looked like a worried elder who couldn't bear to part with a beloved child.
Jenlyns who had been watching them nearby for a long time, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry. After all, he is the Holy Son of Church of Light. Going out alone won't be a problem for him. And since he's still young, he should travel more. Going to the Royal City of Orinthia will only benefit him."
