The God's Games

When these people saw Spicy Flavor Fairy and his group, they looked at them with wary eyes until they passed by, then hurriedly returned to their homes.

As they walked, the atmosphere in Lindblum City felt very oppressive.

Spicy Flavor Fairy and his group could sense it clearly.

This kind of atmosphere was something Spicy Flavor Fairy and the others had experienced when they first arrived at Ulon Town.

It was the silent despair that comes when you know death is approaching, but you don\'t know what to do.

However, this situation was much better than what Spicy Flavor Fairy had imagined before they arrived.

They had thought Lindblum City might be like Ulon Town, where everyone had fled, making their valuable weapons nothing more than useless scrap metal with no one to buy them.

Because of this, they had specifically asked the townspeople who came with them why they chose to flee to Lindblum City.

What would they do if Lindblum City also fell?

The townspeople answered bitterly, "Lindblum City is at least a big city nearby. We thought that since there\'s a Warlock here, he might be able to barely hold off the demon army. If Lindblum City falls, where else could we escape to?"

That made sense.

If Lindblum City also fell, they would be faced with endless fleeing, with no hope of ever stopping.

On the way, the soldiers led Spicy Flavor Fairy and his group to the gates of the lord\'s manor.

After saying "We\'re here," the soldiers turned around and walked away.

Spicy Flavor Fairy didn\'t even have time to stop them to ask what they should do next; the soldiers had already walked far away.

Fortunately, a servant came out of the lord\'s manor, and, knowing they had been invited by Viscount Hereford, he led them inside.

As they passed through the front gate and walked down the hallway, the players looked around.

The lord\'s manor was a very typical Western-style building, but its design didn\'t seem to match any modern Western architectural style.

It seemed to have elements of different styles mixed together.

As they looked at the luxurious and grand manor, they couldn\'t help but occasionally express their amazement.

It wasn\'t that they had never seen such beautiful scenery before, but the surprise of arriving on a new map and seeing how detailed the game developers had been with the building designs was impressive.

It was clear that the buildings didn\'t resemble anything from Earth, suggesting that the game developers might have designed them by themselves.

The developers had really put in a lot of effort.

Even though it was still in the beta testing phase, they had created so much, making them even more excited about the official release.

The servant led them to the lord\'s reception room and said, "The lord is changing clothes and will be with you shortly," then quickly left, just like the soldiers.

Master PungPong couldn\'t help but comment, "Do all the NPCs here act like this? They say something and then disappear."

Spicy Flavor Fairy wondered why they were facing this issue.

It seemed that the NPCs on the new map were not very welcoming.

Was it just because he had used Light-type Magic?

It shouldn\'t be the case.

If they were really concerned about him being a priest, they wouldn\'t have let them into the city in the first place.

There must be another reason.

The servant had said that Viscount Hereford would return soon, but after waiting for over half an hour, they still hadn\'t seen him, making them a little bit impatient.

Spicy Flavor Fairy glanced at Hanjun instinctively, since Hanjun was the one who had issued the quest.

He hoped to see if Hanjun had any hints.

Hanjun, meanwhile, had found a table to sit at and noticed Spicy Flavor Fairy looking over.

He even gave him a smile.

It seemed there were no hints, so they would have to figure things out on their own.

Master PungPong touched his head and asked, "What\'s wrong? Did we miss something important for the quest?"

Missing something important meant they might have missed a key piece of evidence and couldn\'t trigger the next part of the story.

Spicy Flavor Fairy shook his head, indicating that he didn\'t know what was going on.

Hanjun noticed they were getting anxious and thought they might have missed something or encountered a bug.

In reality, he could hear Viscount Hereford and Saradin discussing about what questions they needed to ask to them and how to deal with them from the next room.

They had been discussing this small matter for a long time.

Master PungPong wondered if they should step outside to see if they had missed anything.

Just then, Viscount Hereford and Saradin finally appeared at the door.

Viscount Hereford walked in slowly, expecting to hear greetings or flattery, or at least see them reacting in fear.

Instead, he waited for a long time and saw that Spicy Flavor Fairy and the others didn\'t react at all.

The town residents following Spicy Flavor Fairy also stood there, not moving.

Viscount Hereford, feeling frustrated and red-faced, finally said, "Are you the ones looking for me?"

Spicy Flavor Fairy found it a little bit funny.

Didn\'t the soldiers say that Viscount Hereford wanted to speak with them?

How had it become them, the ones who wanted to find Viscount Hereford?

Master PungPong quickly realized what was happening, stopped Spicy Flavor Fairy from speaking, and cheerfully addressed Viscount Hereford, "So you\'re the Viscount. Sorry for not recognizing you. It\'s our first time in Lindblum City."

Viscount Hereford\'s expression improved a bit when he realized it was their first time in Lindblum City and that not knowing him was understandable.

He then asked, "Where is Mayor Herman? Why isn\'t he here?"
