The God's Games

Viscount Hereford was shocked by the news.

He quickly dropped the crushed grape without even wiping his hands and rushed to Saradin, saying, "Are you serious? You're planning to head to Ulon City?"

He hadn't expected that just after mocking those people who were going to Ulon City, his own protector would want to do the same.

Did that mean his words might have offended Saradin?

Viscount Hereford wondered what was going on with Saradin.

Was he out of his mind to want to go to Ulon City?

Weren't the Magic Tower and the Church of Light on bad terms?

Why would Saradin want to go to a city that was controlled by the Church of Light?

Of course, he didn't know that while Saradin indeed had a bad opinion about the Church of Light, he also understood the current situation.

Seeing so many people heading to Ulon City, Saradin felt this was the best chance to resist the demon army.

He was stirred and wanted to set aside his prejudices to see what Ulon City had accomplished.

Could they really save the world?

If they succeeded, wouldn't they who are shining in Ulon City, become famous worldwide?

Saradin had once had such dreams.

He didn't want to remain just an ordinary intermediate-level Warlock; he had ambitions too.

But unfortunately, Saradin had already made an agreement with Viscount Hereford to protect the safety of Lindblum City.

Saradin sighed and said, "Don't worry, Viscount. I still intend to keep my promise."

Viscount Hereford forced a smile, not daring to ask more questions, afraid that Saradin might get impatient and just leave.

However, after Saradin left, Viscount Hereford's face darkened, "Ulon City! What have they done? It's clearly part of my territory, and now they've built a city without my permission. Not only that, but they've also welcomed the Royal Knights and adventurers. They don't even respect me as their lord!"

If it weren't for Saradin suddenly having this idea, Viscount Hereford wouldn't have cared about Ulon City at all.

He even thought it was a good thing to use Ulon City as a shield against the demon army's attack.

But Saradin's words gave Viscount Hereford a different perspective.

He realized that Ulon City used to be part of his territory.

Now, with all the power it has gathered, recruiting so many adventurers and being protected by the Royal Knights, along with the weapons they have—why shouldn't all this power be under his control?

Even if they managed to stop the demon army's attack, the people would no longer remember that Ulon City was part of his territory; instead, they would only praise the Church of Light.

After thinking it through, Viscount Hereford started to resent Ulon City for acting so recklessly.

When he considered the benefits he could gain from Ulon City, Viscount Hereford finally felt that Ulon City wasn't so unrelated to him after all.

However, the people in Ulon City had no idea what was happening in Lindblum City.

Hanjun had already prepared the game update, ready for the ten thousand brave heroes to enter Ulon City the next morning.

To avoid overwhelming Ulon City with the sudden influx of people, Hanjun came up with an excuse to make the players log off early and then put on a special performance in Ulon City.

—The descent of the God of Light.

Once the players were gone, the town lost some of its quirky and lively atmosphere.

But when a glow suddenly appeared from the church in the darkness of the night, it caught everyone's attention.

Seeing the light coming from the church, people instinctively thought the Church of Light was up to something again.

And they were right.

The light shining in the sky gradually turned into snowflakes that drifted down among the people, landing in their hands.

"What is this? A miracle?" the crowd shouted.

It had been a thousand years since anyone had heard of the God of Light, but now, seeing this scene, people realized that the God of Light hadn't disappeared from their hearts.

The sight before them was enough to shock them.

Taking advantage of this moment, Hanjun introduced a story to the people of the World of Eorera, explaining that the demon army had arrived, and the God of Light planned to summon more heroes to help.

He explained that these heroes weren't from their world and that their behavior might be different from what people in the World of Eorera were used to.

He emphasized that if the heroes did anything strange, people should just ignore it.

Of course, the heroes loved helping others, and as long as they were given some rewards, they would gladly assist you.

If there was a problem that seemed difficult to solve, they could always leave it to the heroes to handle.

Hanjun's actions were mainly to prepare the current residents of Ulon City so that they wouldn't be shocked or confused when they saw the 10,000 new players arriving the next day.

Hanjun also told them that if they encountered any harassment from players or problems that couldn't be resolved, they could go to the church and ask Ragdoll Cat for help.

Jenlyns was the first one to figure out what Hanjun's message was about.

As he noticed the unusually quiet environment that night, he began to think.

Could it be that the heroes weren't around tonight because more of them were coming tomorrow?

He had heard that these heroes seemed to have some kind of immortality.

Could this be a special ability that was granted to them by the God of Light?

Of course, Jenlyns wouldn't spread this information carelessly.

He knew that if people found out the God of Light could make them immortal, they would only beg the God for the same power and lose the courage to keep fighting.

As the people of Ulon City discussed these things, the third closed beta test finally went online.

The much-anticipated server launch had finally arrived.
