The God's Games

Chapter 144: New NPC (Part 4)

Hanjun raised an eyebrow and said, "Oh? Then the countries in the east must be in a terrible situation, right? There's no food and the demon army on its way."

The merchant nodded his head in agreement, "Exactly, as you said, the east is in chaos right now. Starving refugees are fleeing everywhere. But don't worry, because of Ulon Town's special location, refugees won't make it here."

Hanjun understood what the merchant meant—that with the demon army about to arrive at Ulon Town, no one would dare to come here.

However, Hanjun wasn't concerned about that.

He gave Father Barry a meaningful look, reminding him about the surplus food that was stored in their warehouses.

Thanks to Hanjun's hint, Father Barry finally remembered the huge amount of food piled up in their storage.

Maybe they could sell it to the merchant.

After all, with Accelerated Growth Potions in hand, Ulon Town wouldn't need to worry about food anymore.

They could use the extra food to trade for things they needed.

When the merchant heard that Ulon Town actually had extra food to sell, his eyes widened in disbelief, "Really? We'll take all of it."

Father Barry nodded and made the decision on the spot.

Since he was the acting mayor of the town, he had the authority to do so.

The merchant realized that with all this food, if he could bring it to the countries in the east, this trip wouldn't be a loss at all.

Of course, they still needed to discuss the details of the trade.

Father Barry invited the merchant to the church to talk, while the others followed Pork Rib Boss to the resting place prepared for the caravan.

As the new arrivals settled in, the players gradually learned why they were there and realized that Ulon Town finally had a trading post.

Normally, in Ulon Town, they could only be self-sufficient or trade things they needed with other players.

They had never seen a shop before.

Thinking about it, it makes sense why recent quests rewarded them with money—maybe the game developers wanted them to use it to trade with the merchants.

The players eagerly headed to where the caravan had set up there stall, wanting to see if there were any good items for sale.

The area around the caravan quickly became lively.

It wasn't just the players; even the NPCs, who hadn't seen a merchant caravan in a long time, joined the crowd to trade.

Only Hanjun whose didn't join the players and the townspeople excitement or join the negotiations between Father Barry and the head merchant.

Instead, he just stood outside while watching the bustling scene between the caravan and the players from a distance.

Hanjun didn't have anything he particularly wanted, so he just stood there, watching this scene with interest.

At that moment, a man who is wearing a black hood slowly approached him from behind.

When he was about a step away, he suddenly spoke in a raspy voice, "Hello, can I ask you a question?"

Hanjun turned his head.

The man was much taller than him, but the hood hid his face, making it impossible to see what he looked like.

This mysterious behavior made Hanjun recall that the man had come to Ulon Town with the caravan, but instead of setting up a stall with them, he was here to ask Hanjun a question.

This behavior seemed quite strange.

Hanjun raised an eyebrow and asked, "What is it?"

The man, still speaking in the same raspy tone, said something odd, "Don't be afraid. I'm not a bad person. I even have some candy that was made in the Royal City of Orinthia. You can try it if you like."

From what the man said, it was clear he thought Hanjun was an easy-to-fool young boy and was trying to trick him into revealing information.

Hanjun wasn't bothered by this; in fact, he found it very interesting.

He accepted the candy from the man and examined it.

It was just an ordinary sweet candy, something the God of Light, who had enjoyed much finer things on Earth, didn't care for at all.

Still, Hanjun pretended to be interested and said, "What do you want to ask?"

The man, thinking he had successfully tricked Hanjun, quickly asked, "Have you noticed anything strange in Ulon Town recently?"

Hanjun thought for a moment and replied, "Of course, I have."

The man who are feeling excited, asked him eagerly, "What is it?"

Hanjun pointed to a group of players and said, "It's them. These people are really strange. I don't know where they came from. Father Barry says they're heroes who come here to help us, but I just think they're a bunch of weirdos."

The man in black fell silent: "..."

He already knew that the heroes had been summoned here, but to him, they were just ordinary people.

What he really wanted to know was who had summoned these heroes and who in the Church of Light was orchestrating these events.

As a follower of the Order of the Shattering ligh, the man in black believed his mission was to carry out the will of the God of Darkness and to prevent the Church of Light from interfering with the God of Darkness's plans. Discover hidden stories at m,v l'e-NovelFire

So, what they aimed to do was to make people accept the arrival of the demon army and suppress any actions of the Church of Light.

For hundreds of years, the Church of Light hadn't had a new Pope, thanks to their efforts.

Afterward, the Church of Light didn't dare elect another Pope because they feared the Order of the Shattering Lights' assassinations.

As a result, the Church of Light's activities went underground, with only a few priests staying in the churches to keep them running.

These priests knew just a spell or two of Light-type Magic, which wasn't much of a threat to the demons, so the Order of the Shattering Light didn't bother to targeting them.
