Chapter 225: Royal City of Orinthia (Part 2)
They had heard about how Ulon Town had become a powerful stronghold with endless food and fresh delicacies after the arrival of the Holy Son, who summoned heroes to defend it.
They no longer had to fear the attacks from the demons and had become the largest fortress that was resisting the demons.
But why would such a person suddenly appear in Canaan Town?
If they had known the Holy Son would come, they never would have done what they did yesterday.
Maybe, if they prayed to the Holy Son, they could also get help from the heroes.
Even so, the Holy Son was still kind and merciful, he was willing to help them solve their problems even after learning about their actions.
It was such a blessing for them!
Dott Barthos and his companions had joyful expressions on their faces, feeling very happy to hear this news.
Even the knights' next words didn't disappoint them.
"But the Holy Son believes that, despite everything, your actions cannot be forgiven. So, you must pay the price for what you have done."
Knowing that the problem of not growing crops could be solved, their main issue was also resolved, and they were no longer afraid of any punishment.
Dott asked happily, "What price?"
"All the crops you grow, except for what you need for yourselves, will belong to the Church of Light. And from now on, you will follow the heroes' orders and work on the construction of Canaan Town."
Hearing this, Dott was even more delighted, "The heroes will guide us in building Canaan Town? Does that mean that from today, Canaan Town is under the rule of the Church of Light? That's great!"
Dott didn't care about what Viscount Hereford might think.
Viscount Hereford had abandoned them long ago, and now it was the Holy Son of the Church of Light who had saved them.
From today, they were followers of the Church of Light.
When they had time, they would rebuild the church to serve the God of Light.
Hanjun had not expected that such a small act could bring him a lot of faith energy.
Maybe this is what they mean when they say, "Whoever provides the milk, she's the mother."
Hanjun and his group continued their journey to the Royal City of Orinthia.
It wasn't a peaceful trip.
Along the way, Hanjun faces several attempts of assassination by the Order of the Shattering Light.
Each attempt was more intense than the last.
When these assassins failed, they cruelly chose to end their own lives, leaving Hanjun with no information from them.
These actions were much more determined than any assassination Hanjun had faced before, and they showed the players just how ruthless the Order of the Shattering Light could be.
This made the players even more determined to protect Hanjun.
Besides the assassinations, the biggest thing everyone noticed was that the closer they got to the Royal City of Orinthia, the richer the cities became.
Compared to them, Ulon Town, which was fighting on the frontlines, was nothing alike.
What was hardest to understand was that the people here didn't even know what the people of Ulon Town were going through.
They spent every day enjoying life, not realizing the danger that was so close.
Some people might have known about these things, but for them, it wasn't their problem.
If the sky fell, the tall ones would hold it up.
They didn't worry at all about the demon invasion.
Even Captain Aldelbert couldn't stand what he was seeing, and the players were frowning as they watched.
"If it wasn't for Ulon Town, the demons would almost be at the Royal City of Orinthia gates by now. Do they not have any sense of danger?" Master PungPong complained, and the viewers in his live streaming were just as speechless as him.
[ What are these people even doing? ]
[ The demons are almost at their doorstep, and they're still clueless, just enjoying themselves. ]
[ Seriously, if it weren't for the Church of Light, these people would've been dead long ago facing the demons. ]
[ People like this really make those people who are fighting on the frontlines feel bitter. If it were me, I wouldn't want to save them either. ]
Hanjun didn't judge these behaviors, but the players couldn't stand it.
They wanted to knock some sense into these people's heads and make them try harder to survive.
However, not everyone had such awareness.
No matter how much Master PungPong and the others tried to persuade them, it didn't help.
Hanjun noticed all of this but didn't say a word.
As a God of Light, he knew that what he was doing wasn't for all of humanity, but for those people who still wanted to resist.
As long as they had a sliver of hope, Hanjun was willing to help them.
This didn't mean Hanjun aimed to save all of humanity.
After half a month of quick travel, Hanjun and his group finally reached the Royal City of Orinthia.
The tall city walls were bustling with people passing by, and on the streets, they occasionally saw nobles dressed in luxurious and splendid clothes, which made the players stare in awe.
As they walked by, a person glanced at their expressions with a disdainful look and muttered, "Where did these country bumpkins come from?"
The players' faces showed some restraint, refusing to get angry over a single comment.
For them, the sights of the Royal City of Orinthia were indeed fresh, but they had seen many places.
To be called country bumpkins like that was so absurd it made them smile rather than feel insulted.
Master PungPong scoffed.
He pulled out a bottle of Chupa Chups and, in front of everyone, began to drink it happily with big gulps.
After finishing, he let out a satisfied sound.
The person who had just mocked them was stunned.
If he wasn't mistaken, wasn't that was Chupa Chups? the very drink that had recently become a huge hit in the Royal City of Orinthia?
