The God's Games

Mayor Herman, being the mayor of Ulon Town, would have been much better at flattery than these young people.

If Mayor Herman had come, it wouldn't have been as awkward as it was now.

Spicy Flavor Fairy was about to explain that Mayor Herman was stuck working at the ironworks and couldn't come today.

However, Master PungPong gave Spicy Flavor Fairy a look, signaling that it wasn't the time to talk about Mayor Herman.

He then explained to Viscount Hereford, "Mayor Herman wanted to come, but he's busy with the construction of the new ironworks in town and couldn't leave. So, he sent us instead."

Viscount Hereford's curiosity was piqued when he heard about the ironworks. "Ironworks? At a time like this, you're still focusing on building things like that?"

Master PungPong chatted casually, "Isn't this the exact time we need to develop our strength? To be honest, Viscount, we've defeated the Demon advance team. Now we plan to turn Ulon Town into a frontline fortress against the demons. But Ulon Town is short on supplies, so we brought the weapons we made and came to Lindblum City to trade for some resources."

Viscount Hereford was shocked by the news, "You actually defeated the demons? How is that possible?"

He was very certain that a small place like Ulon Town couldn't possibly defeat the demons, so he didn't believe what Master PungPong was saying.

Master PungPong wanted to explain more, but Saradin spoke up, "Viscount, you might not have noticed, but there's a priest among them. Although he's just a low-level Priest, it seems the story about defeating the demons could be true."

After Saradin said this, Viscount Hereford finally took the time to look at the group more carefully.

He instinctively ignored Hanjun and focused on the four players, but just as Saradin had mentioned, he couldn't tell which one was the Priest.

Saradin stared sharply at Spicy Flavor Fairy, making Spicy Flavor Fairy feel uncomfortable and frown.

Spicy Flavor Fairy could sense Saradin's hostility toward him, though he had no idea where it came from.

Pretending not to notice the hostility, he asked, "Viscount, may I ask who this person is?"

Viscount Hereford then remembered he hadn't introduced Saradin yet.

When he mentioned Saradin, his tone became much more proud, "This is the renowned intermediate-level Warlock, Sir Saradin. Unlike you a low-level Priest, he has certification from the Magic Tower."

It sounded impressive, but to the players, it just added a new term to their vocabulary, which they quickly forgot about.

Spicy Flavor Fairy guessed that ever since the God of Light fell asleep a few years ago, the Church of Light had lost its importance, and maybe this Warlock didn't like priests very much.

His current attitude seemed to show his feelings.

Saradin watched Spicy Flavor Fairy with interest and said, "Tell me, it's impossible for just one Priest to drive away the demons. How did you manage to do it?"

Under Saradin's hawk-like gaze, Spicy Flavor Fairy frowned and patiently explained, "It was Father Barry of the Church of Light who awakened the God of Light. The God then summoned the heroes to help Ulon Town defeat the demons."

"Heroes?!" Viscount Hereford's eyes widened.

He rubbed his hands nervously and said, "Are you saying that the God of Light really awakened? But why didn't he just defeat the demons himself? Why summon the heroes?"

He quickly realized something and looked at Spicy Flavor Fairy and his group, "Are you saying that you are the heroes summoned by the God of Light?"

Spicy Flavor Fairy and the others nodded their head, unsure why the Viscount was so excited.

Viscount Hereford was not only excited but also had mixed feelings.

Like everyone else, he had felt that the God of Light had abandoned humanity and had once despised the God.

But now that the demons were almost at his gates, threatening his life, hearing that the God of Light had awakened, he felt a sense of relief, thinking that there was hope after all.

As for why the God of Light didn't respond to humanity before, he didn't dwell on that.

As long as he could survive, he was willing to accept anything.

At that moment, Saradin cleared his throat, reminding Viscount Hereford that there was still a Warlock present.

Trying to cover his earlier lapse, the Viscount said, "I understand the specifics now. You mentioned before that you came to Lindblum City for a reason. What is it that you need?"

Spicy Flavor Fairy patiently said, "We made some weapons and want to exchange them for supplies."

Viscount Hereford's smile grew even wider, "Yes, I remember you wanted to trade for supplies. Does this mean you're not planning to give up on Ulon Town?"

Spicy Flavor Fairy nodded.

Viscount Hereford was even happier now.

Of course, he was happy.

If someone wanted to build a defensive fortress in Ulon Town, it meant they were blocking the demons from reaching Lindblum City.

If the demons started their attack, Ulon Town would be the first target, reducing the danger for Lindblum City and allowing its residents to live more peacefully.

Moreover, considering that Spicy Flavor Fairy and his group didn't ask for anything from Lindblum City and were only looking to exchange supplies, it seemed like they were getting benefits without needing to do anything in return.

Viscount Hereford thought about all this with delight.

Seeing his reaction, Spicy Flavor Fairy's irritation faded a bit.

Before coming here, Father Barry had shared stories about his colleagues' experiences in Lindblum City, and the things Viscount Hereford had done in Ulon Town had already made a bad impression on Spicy Flavor Fairy and his group.

However, Master PungPong's attitude reminded Spicy Flavor Fairy that Viscount Hereford was the lord of Lindblum City and had many soldiers.

They couldn't do much to him right now and had to set aside their dissatisfaction.

But Viscount Hereford's attitude, treating them as a human wall against the demons, made Spicy Flavor Fairy feel uneasy.
