The God's Games

Dott Barthos who is the leader from Canaan Town, sheepishly put down his weapon.

Even though the Knights of the White Wolf weren't looking for them, they had already exposed themselves.

What should they do next?

With Hanjun nearby, Captain Adelbert wasn't going to make decisions on his own.

Especially since he knew Hanjun already had some ideas about Canaan Town, it was better to let Hanjun decide what to do.

So, Adelbert had his soldiers convey his intentions.

Hanjun understood that Adelbert was giving him some face, but even though he was interested in Canaan Town, he didn't want to personally forgive them for their bandit-like actions.

So, he told the soldier, "Just do what you have to do."

When Captain Adelbert heard this, he wasn't surprised.

He ordered, "Round up everyone involved in these actions. We'll deal with them later."

He hadn't forgotten their purpose — to find a place to rest for the night so they could set out for the Royal City of Orinthia in good shape the next day.

After Hanjun heard that the people of Canaan Town had been locked up, he called for Flower Deer.

Flower Deer waited for Hanjun to speak and heard him say, "Go investigate why the land in Canaan Town can't grow crops."

This was just an investigation task, but Flower Deer understood very well that Canaan Town ended up like this because they didn't have enough food.

If they could solve this problem, the people of Canaan Town would be saved.

Even though Hanjun wasn't trying to save the people of Canaan Town, he was still thinking about the town's future.

Flower Deer accepted the task and understood Hanjun's intention.

She began the investigation as night fell.

Hanjun settled down in the room that the knights had found for him.

He just eating the dry rations brought by the knights, when Master PungPong suddenly asked, "Hanjun, how are you planning to deal with the people of Canaan Town?"

From his tone, it seemed that he thought the people of Canaan Town were somewhat innocent — they were just forced into desperate situations by Viscount Hereford.

He hoped they wouldn't face severe punishment.

Hanjun petted the head of Snowball that was curled up next to him and, under Master PungPong's gaze, he lowered his eyes and thought, "How else should I deal with them?"

Master PungPong, sensing the seriousness, asked nervously, "They don't deserve to die, right?"

Hanjun laughed, "Do you think we're going to execute them? If we kill them, who will do the work?"

Master PungPong patted his chest in relief, "Oh, that's good to hear."

Hanjun replied casually, "Of course, we'll send them to do labor. Once Flower Deer figures out why the land can't produce the corps, we can solve the problem, and then we'll have them do farm."

Master PungPong thought for a moment.

This seemed to match with Hanjun's style.

He understood.

Soon, Flower Deer returned with clues from her investigation.

Flower Deer hurried over and said, "I talked to some of the locals and found out that the land here can grow things, but the crop yield is very low, and the plants look withered. I think it's because the soil is poor and lacks nutrients."

Hanjun was pleased to hear this, "If that's the case, the Acceleration Growth Potion can solve this problem."

Flower Deer replied, "The Acceleration Growth Potion can indeed have the same effect."

Hanjun gave a final pat on the head of Snowball and waved his hand, saying, "I know how to handle this now."

The meaning behind his words was clear: they were no longer needed, and they could go back to doing whatever they were doing.

Master PungPong and his teammates found themselves being ushered out.

They glanced at each other and then at the other players outside.

The other players who were still unaware of what had happened, asked them, "So, what did Hanjun say?"

Master PungPong thought for a moment and replied, "It looks like we're going to be busy tomorrow."

Flower Deer squinted her eyes and stepped forward, she then said seriously, "Hanjun wants to fix the root cause of Canaan Town's lack of food. The main problem is that the land here is poor and can't grow much. But once we use the Acceleration Growth Potion, that won't be a problem anymore."

The players understood, "Acceleration Growth Potion? We have plenty of that!"

It was something they usually kept in their bags as a healing potion and often needed for daily quests, so they all had some stored up.

Now it seemed like they would come in handy.

Flower Deer added, "The NPCs will probably give out quests tomorrow. So, we'll have to wait until then."

Waiting until tomorrow seemed fine, but none of the players expected Hanjun to show up so early the next day.

After thinking for a moment, they realized that since they needed to travel quickly, they would definitely have to wake up early to make the most of their time.

Plus, Hanjun needed to arrange tasks, so he would certainly be up early as well.

Many players hadn't received the task ahead of time and were unsure what was going on. Thankfully, they didn't need to be with Hanjun to get the task.

That's because the task could be shared among them.

But more shocked than the players were the citizens of Canaan Town.

The night they were captured by the Knights of the White Wolf, they spent the whole night in fear and anxiety, wondering what kind of fate awaited them.

However, to their surprise, the next morning they were released, and the knights didn't seem angry at all.

They were simply instructed, "The Holy Son of the Church of Light has found out why your land can't grow crops. From today on, you must turn over a new leaf and stop doing bad things."

Dott Barthos's eyes widened, "What did you say? The Holy Son?"

The Holy Son of the Church of Light had actually appeared in Canaan Town?
