Chapter 213: The Chaos In Lindblum City (Part 4)
Upon receiving the quest, the player knew it was indeed a mission.
After seeing the quest rewards, they thought that completing it and gaining enough favor might help them become Saradin's disciples.
Based on Saradin's description, the next step for the players to go was to find Father Barry and ask him for an explanation.
So, with this goal in mind, the player named King of Four Seasons started a live streaming.
After all, since it was a quest involving Father Barry, there was a chance this side quest could be quite interesting.
After starting the live streaming, King of Four Seasons didn't pay much attention to the chatroom and went straight to doing quests.
However, he failed the first step of the quest.
He went to ask Father Barry about it, but Father Barry still refused to tell him any details and even warned him to stay out of it.
King of Four Seasons guessed that maybe it was because his favorability with Father Barry wasn't high enough, so Father Barry wouldn't share any information with him.
Now, Saradin was waiting for him to bring some good news.
Did this mean he had to drag Saradin along to increase his favorability with Father Barry?
During this decision-making stage, King of Four Seasons thought for a bit.
Since it was a holographic game, there must be another way.
Not long after he stepped outside, he ran into Hanjun wandering around.
Hanjun was an important NPC in <<God's Games Online>> and King of Four Seasons didn't get many chances to meet him normally.
Now that Hanjun was nearby, could it be related to this quest?
King of Four Seasons's eyes were lit up, and he approached Hanjun.
Hanjun looked at him and knew right away that he was streaming.
Without waiting for King of Four Seasons to ask, he said, "You came from Father Barry, didn't you?"
Hearing this, King of Four Seasons knew that Hanjun was here because of the quest.
He quickly shared all the information he had gotten from Saradin.
After listening, Hanjun nodded his head and said, "I do know some of the inside story."
His gaze shifted to the empty air, and his tone suggested that he had a story to tell, "This started a long time ago."
Hanjun took on a standard storytelling pose, making it easier for the live streaming audience to watch.
He got to the main point and began telling the story about Father Joseph, a Priest in Lindblum City who was killed unjustly.
Father Joseph had been beaten to death by orders of Viscount Hereford.
This incident had an indirect connection to Saradin.
Father Joseph was also a Priest of the Church of Light and a close friend of Father Barry, so it was no wonder Father Barry treated Saradin this way.
The players felt quite conflicted after hearing the story.
After understanding the truth, the players had no complaints about Father Barry's actions; they even felt that Father Barry had been quite merciful to only go this far.
However, to complete the quest, the players still needed to go back and talk to Saradin about this matter.
When Saradin heard from the players that Viscount Hereford had killed a Priest from the Church of Light just to invite him to Lindblum City, he collapsed back into his chair, looking stunned.
"I... I never thought he would do something like that."
The people from Magic Tower had never liked the Church of Light, but he never expected that Viscount Hereford would use such an excuse to force someone to their death.
For a moment, he felt deep guilt.
After learning the whole truth, Saradin was so shocked that he couldn't react for a while.
It was King of Four Seasons who brought him back to reality.
Saradin blinked his eyes and said, "Brave one, thank you for your help. I will agree to your request, but I have something to take care of right now, so I can't host you for long. I'm sorry."
King of Four Seasons, who had heard the story directly from Hanjun, felt even more deeply affected.
Even though he had successfully taken Saradin as his mentor, he wasn't happy at all and was still caught up in the tragic story he had just learned.
After Saradin left, he found Father Barry at the entrance of the church.
After looking around, he called out to him and quietly said, "I'm sorry, but can we find a place to talk?"
Father Barry didn't really want to pay attention to him and was about to refuse, but then Hanjun suddenly appeared behind him and said, "Of course, there is."
Hearing Hanjun's voice, Father Barry immediately knew that Hanjun must be involved in this matter somehow.
He could understand that Hanjun probably wanted to help him in some way, but to Father Barry, Saradin had harmed his close friend.
What was the point of getting involved now?
He couldn't forgive Saradin on Father Joseph's behalf. Find more to read on M-V-L
But with Hanjun there, Father Barry had no choice but to listen.
He led them into the church and opened the door to the confessional room.
Saradin saw the word "Confessional" and felt even more ashamed.
As soon as he walked in, he apologized to Father Barry, "I know now what happened back then, and I am very sorry for the unwise things I said."
Like other warlocks, Saradin had many misunderstandings about the Church of Light in the past.
But since coming to Ulon Town, he had begun to see things differently.
At least when it came to resisting the demons and saving humanity, the Church of Light was much braver than the people from Magic Tower.
The things that the Church of Light had done were things Saradin himself could never accomplish.
Saradin expressed his apology sincerely and carefully.
Father Barry glanced at Hanjun and noticed that ever since Hanjun came in, he had been completely uninterested in them, focusing on the surroundings instead.
