The God's Games

But most of the time, it's just Viscount Hereford scaring himself over nothing.

Yet, he doesn't care; as soon as he hears the slightest noise, he orders someone to fetch Saradin.

This has happened so often that Saradin has started to get annoyed.

Every time, he finds out that the thing that scared Viscount Hereford is something trivial, not worth mentioning.

But he still has to rush over, which is really frustrating.

This frustration has started to show in Saradin's attitude.

The servants also notice that every time he goes to call Saradin on Viscount Hereford's orders, Saradin's attitude gets worse.

Unfortunately, the servants are stuck in the middle, trying to please both Viscount Hereford and Saradin, which puts him in a tough spot.

Despite his growing impatience, Saradin still followed the servant into the lord's mansion to meet with Viscount Hereford.

When he saw the large, overweight Viscount, Saradin lowered his eyes to hide his displeasure and asked bluntly, "Viscount, what's the matter?"

Viscount Hereford stood up and cautiously glanced out the window, saying, "Saradin, did you notice what just happened? What was that? Could it be that the demon army is near Lindblum City?"

Saradin internally rolled his eyes but patiently explained, "From the magical energy, it's clear that this wasn't caused by demons. There's no need for you to worry, Viscount."

Viscount Hereford's eyes widened, "If it's not the demons, then is someone else trying to intimidate Lindblum City? Do they want to start a war?"

Saradin almost wanted to facepalm right in front of Viscount Hereford, but he held back and patiently explained, "It's just a light-type magic called Glimmering Glow spell. It's clear they don't have any hostile intentions."

Viscount Hereford's chubby face trembling and was about to say something else,

but Saradin turned his head away, not wanting to look at him.

At that moment, the voice of the head guard came from outside the door, "Viscount, there's a strange group of people at the north gate trying to enter the city. The soldiers refused to let them in, and then they cast some kind of strange spell that scared the soldiers, making them too afraid to move. What should we do?"

Viscount Hereford was stunned, "Strange people? Where did they come from?"

The head guard replied, "They said they came from Ulon Town."

Viscount Hereford frowned, "Ulon Town? Didn't the demon army destroy that place two days ago? Could they be refugees?"

The head guard thought for a moment, "They have a cart with them, so they might really be refugees."

Viscount Hereford was about to say that Lindblum City doesn't accept refugees, but then he remembered they used a spell that caught the attention of the whole city.

He fell silent.

Not long after that, Viscount Hereford asked, "Did they say what they want?"

The head guard shook his head, "They just want the soldiers to open the gate so they can enter the city."

Viscount Hereford trembled even more, "They didn't say anything else? Just that they want to enter the city?"

The head guard confirmed this, and Viscount Hereford turned his gaze to Saradin, "Sir Warlock, what do you think we should do?"

Saradin put aside his usual dislike for Viscount Hereford and started thinking carefully.

In his view, the group outside didn't seem threatening at all.

If his senses were correct, the commotion earlier was just caused by a Glimmering Glow spell.

It had been a long time since anyone had used such a powerful Glimmering Glow spell, which was why Viscount Hereford and the others were so scared by such harmless magic.

Saradin considered more than just that.

After so many years without seeing anyone using Glimmering Glow Magic and it suddenly appeared right after the demon army had defeated the defensive frontline.

Saradin wasn't sure what this meant.

Under Viscount Hereford's gaze, Saradin finally said, "We should go and see what's going on. At the very least, we should ask them what they want."

Saradin was also curious.

He wanted to know what kind of person could cast such a powerful Glimmering Glow spell.

Hearing Saradin's suggestion, Viscount Hereford felt more confident.

He straightened up his body and said, "Alright, let's go and see them."

The three of them headed to the north gate, with the head guard leading the way.

When they arrived, they saw Hanjun and his group, who had been waiting outside the gate for a long time.

When Spicy Flavor Fairy saw that there was finally a response from the people on the wall and that the newcomers looked like important figures, he realized they must be the big shots of Lindblum City.

Just as Spicy Flavor Fairy was about to say something, the guard captain on the wall called out, "Who are you down there?"

Spicy Flavor Fairy responded without hesitation, "Who are you up there?"

The guard captain noticed Viscount Hereford's displeased expression, but Viscount Hereford just looked at Saradin.

As long as Saradin wasn't bothered, Viscount Hereford didn't care what these people said.

In his eyes, these refugees were coming to Lindblum City seeking survival, and as the lord, he believed he could decide their fate.

So, he didn't even glance at them.

Saradin was curious about them but didn't speak up.

Instead, he told the guard captain, "You handle it."

The guard captain answered plainly, "This is Viscount Hereford, the lord of Lindblum City, and Sir Saradin, an Intermediate-level Warlock."

Spicy Flavor Fairy raised an eyebrow.

It seemed the commotion he caused had indeed attracted the big shots of Lindblum City.

Spicy Flavor Fairy replied politely, "We came from Ulon Town to Lindblum City to do some trading."

Viscount Hereford's eyebrows twitched slightly, "Trading? What good things could Ulon Town have to trade with us?"

The guard captain echoed his question, "What kind of trade do you want to do?"

Spicy Flavor Fairy pointed to their cart and said, "Some weapons. I can guarantee these weapons are unique to Ulon Town. Viscount, don't you want to take a look?"
