Chapter 217: The Chaos In Lindblum City (Part 8)
The players were very familiar with this name.
Especially Master PungPong, who had been welcomed by Mr. Turner the last time he came to Lindblum City.
Saradin explained, "Mr. Turner is probably the only person in Lindblum City, besides Viscount Hereford, who has the power to maintain a foothold here. If we haven't seen many people, they must be hiding in the black market."
Saradin's statement made it clear where they should head next.
When they arrived at the black market, they found that the situation was much better there.
There were no demons and things were relatively orderly.
Halfway through, they ran into Dylan, who had guided them before.
Dylan seemed to have known they would come.
He was standing in the middle of the road while waving his hands toward them, "Mr. Turner has been waiting for you. Come with me."
Master PungPong, who was more familiar with Dylan, asked, "How did Mr. Turner know we'd come?"
Dylan said proudly, "Who else would dare to challenge the demons in the city except you guys?"
Master PungPong wiped his sweat and asked, "What happened in Lindblum City? How did the demons invade so quickly? Where is Viscount Hereford?"
Hearing the name Viscount Hereford, Dylan scoffed.
Master PungPong thought Dylan would give them some explanations, but instead, Dylan said, "Let Mr. Turner tell you about it."
This piqued everyone's curiosity about what exactly had happened in Lindblum City.
When they meet Mr. Turner, things are still the same.
However, Mr. Turner treated Hanjun with a completely different attitude this time.
"So, this is the Holy Son of the Church of Light?" Mr. Turner said, "My apologies, please have a seat."
Hanjun accepted Mr. Turner's courtesy as a matter of course.
Mr. Turner then addressed the others, "People from Ulon City, I didn't expect you to arrive so quickly. You've been a big help."
Saradin didn't wait for more and quickly asked, "What happened in Lindblum City? Where is Viscount Hereford?"
Just as Hanjun had realized, he had always seen through Viscount Hereford's true nature but chose to ignore it, not taking it seriously.
Now, he had truly understood what Viscount Hereford was like.
He was a cowardly, selfish fool.
If he continued to be the Lord, Lindblum City, and Ulon City would eventually fall under his rule.
Saradin was still blaming himself, while Dylan, with red eyes, explained, "Mr. Turner only found out about this after the demons entered the city. But he couldn't save everyone. Luckily, everyone is willing to follow Mr. Turner's orders, and the survivors are in a safe place for now, so you don't have to worry about their safety."
Hanjun nodded his head in understanding, "Thank you very much for everything you've done. The Church of Light will also help."
In front of everyone, Mr. Turner wiped his tears and said grandly, "It's a good thing you noticed the abnormal situation in Lindblum City, or we don't know how long we could have held out."
The number of demons entering the city wasn't large, but they had taken control of Lindblum City and had it completely blocked off.
With so many people, it was inconvenient for them to move around, so dragging things out wasn't a solution.
But with Hanjun and his team arriving, Mr. Turner breathed a sigh of relief.
They were saved.
Next came sharing information.
Master PungPong wasn't interested in the NPC conversation and muttered softly, "I overestimated Viscount Hereford. This person would trade innocent lives for his own survival. He's worse than a beast."
The teammates behind him nodded their heads vigorously.
They had never seen such a useless NPC before.
Given Viscount Hereford's previous actions in Ulon Town, their opinion of him was already low.
Now, it was clear he was just as bad as they had thought.
While the teammates were complaining, Spicy Flavor Fairy suddenly spoke up, telling them to be quiet.
The players fell silent and listened to Hanjun's conversation with Mr. Turner.
"So, the demons are occupying the city lord's mansion and the city gates, and Viscount Hereford is there too?"
Mr. Turner nodded, "It's different from when you entered the city. Demons are everywhere; we're no match for them."
Hanjun received the information, looked at the noisy crowd below, and smiled.l, "Don't worry. The heroes are very used to dealing with situations like this."
Master PungPong thought to himself, that this was just a major instance, and they were familiar with this kind of thing.
He quickly nodded, "Yes, leave it to us."
Mr. Turner looked at the heroes, remembering how weak they were the first time he met them.
Now, they were dependable heroes.
He said gratefully, "Thank you."
As soon as Mr. Turner finished speaking, the players who came with Hanjun received a system notification.

...
The players didn't need to look at the rewards any further.
They were eager and ready to go.
Normally, Hanjun and his team wouldn't need to follow.
It would be enough for the players to bring back good news.
However, Saradin suddenly said he wanted to go with them, which made the players exchange looks.
Hanjun looked at him, understanding what he was thinking, and after a moment, nodded, "In that case, I appreciate your help."
He just hoped Saradin wouldn't be led astray by the players' unpredictable behavior.
With Saradin along, this dungeon might become easier.
Having an intermediate-level warlock with them would surely help them cut through the enemies.
Under Dylan's guidance, the players arrived at the heavily guarded area of the demons.
Seeing the dense patrols of demons, Saradin couldn't help but ask, "With so many demons, how do you plan to sneak in?"
