The God's Games

He still remembered the time when he had been beaten by the young boy in front of him before.

He quickly said, "What I meant to say is, it's been a long time, and it's surprising how much Ulon City has developed."

Seeing that Saradin could still read his expression, Hanjun softened his look.

However, he didn't speak directly to Saradin at first.

Instead, he asked the nearby player, "What happened, and where is Father Barry?"

The player was an early beta tester, and Hanjun had a bit of an impression of him.

The player quickly replied, "This person was wandering outside the city. We found him very suspicious, so we brought him in. Father Barry took one look at him and asked me to call you over, saying that you should handle this matter."

The player's explanation was so simple that Hanjun felt there was definitely more to the story.

Could it be that the players recognized Saradin and thought he was here to cause trouble, so they brought him in and kept an eye on him?

As for Father Barry's attitude, Hanjun already understood and didn't say much more.

Hanjun waved his hand, allowing the player to leave after giving him a quest, then invited Saradin to sit down for a proper conversation.

Saradin's eyelid twitched slightly.

He had no choice but to accept Hanjun's invitation and nervously took a seat.

Luckily, Hanjun didn't beat around the bush or make things difficult because of their past.

He simply asked, "So, weren't you doing fine in Lindblum City? Why did you suddenly come to Ulon City?"

Saradin had already heard from other Wizards and Warlocks that Hanjun was the Holy Son from the Church of Light.

Now that he thought about it, it made sense that only the Holy Son could beat him so badly.

Those hits he took back then were worth it.

Hearing Hanjun praise him, Saradin quickly replied, "No, no, Holy Son, you're giving me too much credit. I'm not that capable."

Hanjun stayed silent, waiting for Saradin to continue.

Saradin understood and went on, "I came to Ulon City of my own free will. To be honest, I wanted to do my part in resisting the demons. Besides, I heard that the teachers from the Magic Tower have all come to Ulon City, so how could I not join them?"

Hanjun looked Saradin up and down, thinking he hadn't realized that Saradin had such dedication.

Seeing Hanjun's gaze, Saradin almost wanted to swear in front of him that he was telling the truth.

Hanjun wasn't interested in his explanations, he said, "So, what about Lindblum City? Didn't Viscount Hereford inviting you there to guard it? What happens now that you've left?"

Saradin scratched his head, a bit confused by Hanjun's question, "Viscount Hereford only invited me to help, but he didn't say I had to guard Lindblum City forever. Besides, Lindblum City is behind Ulon City. The demons wouldn't bypass Ulon City just to cause trouble for Lindblum City."

He spoke with such certainty that Hanjun felt Saradin was setting himself up to be proven wrong.

The demons aren't easy opponents.

If they see that Ulon City is as defensible as a fortress, they'll certainly look for other ways to attack.

Since Lindblum City is behind Ulon City, they might bypass Ulon City and attack Lindblum City directly.

That could isolate Ulon City, and it wouldn't be long before it falls.

Of course, Hanjun wasn't entirely sure of this; it was just that Saradin seemed to be tempting fate, and he hoped Saradin wouldn't hear about Lindblum City's fall too soon.

Thinking about it, Viscount Hereford's cowardly and selfish nature would definitely make him hide inside the city to save his own life.

Since Saradin had already come, Hanjun wouldn't ask him to leave right away.

But Hanjun remembered that there was some tension between Father Barry and Saradin, and because of Saradin, Hanjun had lost one of his Priest.

This meant Hanjun had to consider his Priest's feelings.

Hanjun casually assigned Saradin a room, then called Father Barry over.

As soon as Father Barry saw Hanjun, he said, "Holy Son, don't worry. I will let go of the old grudges..."

Hanjun interrupted him, "Father Barry, do you think I called you here just to hear you say that?"

Father Barry fell silent, his eyes misting with a bit of tears, understanding what Hanjun meant.

Hanjun stepped closer, and Father Barry instinctively crouched down.

Without being prompted, Hanjun patted him.

"I'm allowing you to give Saradin some punishment."

Father Barry was so moved that he almost burst into tears.

He quickly wiped his eyes and asked, "Aren't you afraid I might kill him?"

Hanjun nodded his head, looking like a young boy, "I trust you. You wouldn't risk yourself for someone like him."

These words filled Father Barry with satisfaction.

Saradin was nothing; Father Barry hadn't even considered him worth his attention.

After comforting Father Barry, Hanjun felt reassured, knowing that Father Barry would handle things appropriately.

Only Father Barry and Hanjun knew about Father Barry's grudge against Saradin.

Saradin had long forgotten about the past incident.

So, when Saradin felt Father Barry's strange and sarcastic behavior, he didn't know what was going on.

Whenever he went out, he would find Father Barry staring at him, and compared to other warlocks, he was always treated differently.

Why was this happening?

After two days of this, Saradin became frustrated.

Fortunately, Saradin had met two brave heroes in the past few days.

Seeing that he was a mid-level warlock, they wanted to become his disciples and had been trying to get close to him recently.

The heroes noticed Saradin's unusual mood and directly asked if something was bothering him.

Saradin didn't know who to talk to, but since the heroes had a good rapport with him, he shared his confusion with them.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Ragdoll Cat sensed the presence of a quest and immediately gave the player a task.
