Chapter 148: Alchemist (Part 4)
From Hanjun's words, he learned that this man in black seemed to have come from the Royal City of Orinthia.
The items he carried were evidence, and it was clear that he was targeting Hanjun, aiming to eliminate the biggest threat to the God of Darkness: the God of Light.
It seemed that news about the God of Light and Ulon Town had spread, even reaching the Order of the Shattering Light who had come to silence them.
Father Barry regretfully said, "If I had known this, I wouldn't have let the players share this information with others."
Hanjun shook his head, "It's fine."
He knew Father Barry meant well.
If the deeds of the God of Light spread and more believers were gained, his divine power would recover faster.
Even if Father Barry hadn't spoken up, Hanjun would have.
In the end, Hanjun had already anticipated this situation.
Besides, why would he fear these small-time enemies?
Father Barry was worried about the bad influence this might have on him, but Hanjun didn't care at all.
Father Barry asked, "What should we do with this person?"
In front of the man in black, Father Barry didn't hide his feelings and was ready to follow Hanjun's advice.
The man in black was tightly bound by Hanjun and couldn't escape.
After Father Barry stopped hiding his feelings, the man glared at Hanjun with bloodshot eyes and said, "If I had known it was you earlier, I wouldn't have held back."
Father Barry frowned at this and looked at Hanjun, who didn't seem to care about the man in black at all and didn't even glance at him.
The man in black was annoyed by Hanjun's indifference and gritted his teeth, continuing, "Just kill me. But even if you kill me, my companions will find out how I died and will come after you someday."
Hanjun's expression remained calm, unaffected by the man's words.
The man in black couldn't tell if Hanjun was just pretending to be calm or if he was truly unbothered, hoping his sacrifice would have some impact.
Father Barry who is feeling impatient, wanted to gag the man's mouth.
Hanjun said, "What else can we do? It would waste our food if we kept him here. Just send him to the ironworks to work. With Butch there, he won't be able to escape."
Father Barry thought it was a good idea and quickly told the players to take him there.
The players grumbled, "Sending someone to the ironworks again? That place is practically becoming a reform factory; they send everyone there."
After complaining, they obediently completed the quest, throwing the man in black into the ironworks before leaving.
The man in black noticed that the ropes binding him had been loosened, and he quickly regained his freedom.
He looked around, feeling the heat from the nearby blast furnace, which soon caused sweat to form on his forehead.
"Where is this place?" he wondered while looking around and realizing it was just a regular factory.
The main gate was right in front of him, and he could easily leave.
Was the Church of Light being so kind and Just letting him go?
He didn't believe the Church of Light would do something so generous, so he decided to ignore the gate and walked further into the factory.
There weren't many people around, but the closer he got to the blast furnace, the hotter it became.
Could this be the Church of Light's secret weapon?
The man in black became increasingly convinced that his initial judgment was correct.
If he could figure out what the Church of Light was planning and get the information to his comrades, they could destroy the Church of Light once and for all.
With this in mind, he continued to approach the blast furnace, intending to investigate further.
He hadn't walked far when a heavy, stern voice stopped him, "Hey! What are you doing?"
The man in black looked up to see a brawny man, shirtless man, walking toward him.
The sight of the man's muscular chest and physique made him feel a bit ashamed, especially when he sensed the man's strength.
The man in black felt the other's power was unfathomable, and the strong aura made him feel small in comparison.
This meant that the man in front of him was definitely stronger than him.
The man in black was shocked.
Wasn't Ulon Town just a small town?
Why were there so many powerful people here?
Where had he ended up?
Butch wiped the sweat from his forehead, his upper body was drenched by sweets as if he'd been splashed with water, making his muscles look even more powerful.
"Are you the one that Father Barry said tried to assassinate Hanjun?" .net
Hanjun?n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
That seemed to be the name of that 14-year-old boy, the Holy Son of the Church of Light.
The man in black quickly nodded his head and proudly said, "That's right, it was me."
Butch smiled with a bright, toothy grin, he then walked over toward him and gave the man in black a hard slap on the shoulder, saying, "I didn't think you were so brave. Impressive!"
The man in black didn't understand, "Why do you say that? I just got careless, that's all."
He believed that Butch was even stronger than Hanjun.
While Hanjun was indeed a genius to have such strength at 14 or 15, the man in black felt that he had only been captured because he underestimated Hanjun, not because Hanjun was incredibly powerful.
Butch laughed heartily. "Well, no matter what, from now on, we're coworkers. We'll have to look out for each other!"
The man in black listened to Butch's words and suddenly thought of something.
He cautiously asked, "So, were you also captured and brought here?"
Butch nodded his head, looking very natural, "Yes, I was. I had captured most of the residents of Ulon Town before, and then the heroes brought me here to atone for my actions."
What do you think?
