The God's Games

Even if Father Barry was like an overprotective mother hen, it was time to let the young eagle fly.

Father Barry expressionlessly brushed Jenlyns's hand off his shoulder and said quietly, "You just don't understand."

Jenlyns couldn't understand why Father Barry was so worried.

After all, Ulon City now had a group of wizards and warlocks who could cast forbidden spells.

The barriers around the city also very solid.

The battles on the front line were much easier, so Hanjun going out wasn't a big deal.

What Father Barry cared about was that the God of Light was doing the tasks that the followers should be doing.

As a faithful follower of the God of Light, this made him feel like they were useless, and that was what troubled him.

But no matter what the truth was, he couldn't change it, nor could he argue against Hanjun.

What Father Barry didn't realize was that, on this journey, no danger could really harm Hanjun.

Instead, it was those left behind without his help who would become his weakness.

Meanwhile, upon learning that Hanjun was heading to the Royal City of Orinthia, a noble from the Royal City of Orinthia came out and whispered the news to his attendant.

The attendant listened carefully and then hurried back to their base to deliver the message to a man in a black robe.

The man in the black robe returned to the round table and informed everyone present.

One of them lowered his head and said, "Then let's proceed with the plan."

"Yes, sir."

When people heard that players would be accompanying Hanjun to the Royal City of Orinthia, the forums exploded with excitement.

Other players were still happy about the new map in Lindblum City when they heard that Hanjun had unlocked a new map in the Royal City of Orinthia.

However, only the players who received a specific quest from Hanjun could follow him there?

They were all stunned.

The players who got those quests must be super lucky, right?

How else could they get such a special main storyline quest?

While the players were still feeling envious, someone posted on the forum.

[ Immortal Boss (OP): Even if we didn't get the quest, we can just tag along! Going to the Royal City of Orinthia would be awesome. I wonder what the Royal City of Orinthia looks like? ]

Visiting the royal city of a certain Kingdom in an another world was indeed an exciting experience, so some players secretly followed behind Hanjun and his group.

When the Royal Knights that was sent by the Royal City of Orinthia noticed this, they were confused.

However, when he reported the situation to Hanjun, he realizing they were brave heroes from the Church of Light.

Seeing the Royal Knight's bewildered expression, which clearly scared by these strange heroes, Hanjun reassured him, "Don't worry about them. They're just curious and want to come along. Just ignore them."

The Royal Knight's face looked troubled.

How could he pretend they didn't exist?

These brave heroes were already so bold that they kept asking him daily if he needed help with anything.

Whenever they encountered a wild monster, they were the first one to rush out and drive it away.

They even took care of all the meals three times a day.

Sometimes, they would even come into the camp to ask Hanjun for advice.

( Actually, they were trying to ask Hanjun for their daily quest so they can level up their skills. )

For the first time, the Royal Knight realized this was how the heroes operated, and he suddenly felt a massive headache coming on.

Luckily, after Hanjun warned them once, the heroes became much more well-behaved and tried to act within the Royal Knights' acceptable range.

As they traveled slowly, Hanjun and his group arrived at a desolate small town.

Their route took them straight through the town.

Hanjun lifted the curtain of the carriage window and looked outside.

He saw that the houses were in ruins, there wasn't a single person on the road, and the fields were empty; even the plants were starting to wither.

Most importantly, Hanjun noticed an abandoned church.

What kind of town was this?

With Ulon Town and Lindblum City nearby, how could it end up in such a state, with not even a shadow of a person around?

Could it be that all the people in this small town had fled?

Hanjun asked the Royal Knight night in front of the carriage, "What is this place? How did it end up like this?"

The Royal Knight replied, "This is also part of Viscount Hereford's territory—Canaan Town. However, it has been in decline for a long time. The land is barren, so they couldn't grow crops, and there was no commerce to develop. Viscount Hereford abandoned it long ago, and over time, all the people here left."

Hanjun hadn't expected that this remaining part of Viscount Hereford's land would be so poor, with not a single person left.

He asked the Royal Knight, "Are we staying here for the night?"

The sky was gradually getting darker, and if they passed Canaan Town, they would have to camp out in the wild.

Hanjun guessed that the Royal Knight wanted to stay here for the night.

The Royal Knight nodded, "Even though Canaan Town has few people, it's still relatively safe. Holy Son, let's rest here for tonight."

Hanjun didn't have any objections; in fact, he was quite pleased because Canaan Town was also a place he wanted to observe.

However, before anything else, Hanjun still wanted to ask, "I want to know, why does His Majesty want me to have an audience with him?"

Is it because the Church of Light has finally grown beyond their expectations, or is it because they imprisoned Viscount Hereford, making His Majesty very unhappy?

The Royal Knight wasn't really supposed to answer this question, but since the person in front of him was the well-known Holy Son of the Church of Light, the Royal Knight was willing to give Hanjun a bit of face.
