And he did know a bit about Hanjun.
Seeing that Hanjun seemed interested in Canaan Town, the Royal Knight replied, "This matter has nothing to do with Viscount Hereford. After all, he's just a viscount, and His Majesty barely remembers how many viscounts are in his lands. But you are the only Holy Son of the Church of Light in this world."
This statement made Hanjun realize that the reason King Varis wanted to see him probably had something to do with the Church of Light.
Hanjun thought for a moment and found it quite uninteresting.
No matter how he reasoned it out, it seemed to be related to politics.
The Royal Knight seemed to understand Hanjun's expression and added, "Of course, since you are the Holy Son of the Church of Light, just by your word, Viscount Hereford's lands could fall under your rule."
These words seemed to hit the mark for Hanjun, who smiled but didn't reply.
The convoy finally stopped.
The Royal Knight had them stop right in the center of Canaan Town, but no one came out of their houses.
The silence of the small town was a bit unsettling.
Captain Adelbert Steiner gave a glance to one of his men, signaling him to go and knock on the building's door.
He had already seen from a distance that there were people inside.
But for some reason, despite all the noise outside, there wasn't a single sound from within.
The soldier followed his order and walked up to one of the door nearby.
He knocked the door loudly while saying, "Is anyone there? We're from the Knight of the White Wolf. We just passing through and looking to stay for one night."
His voice was loud, and the knocking was forceful, but there was no response from inside.
This strange behavior made Captain Adelbert and the players feel uneasy.
They glanced cautiously toward the house.
Just as everyone began to tense up, they suddenly heard a commotion from inside.
A burst of shouting came from within, and a group of people, crowded together, rushed out of the building.
The locals looked at each other, realizing that they had misunderstood the situation and revealed themselves for nothing.
One person stepped out from the crowd and smiled at Captain Adelbert, "Sorry, sorry, it was our misunderstanding. Please forgive us, Captain."
With Hanjun around, it wasn't Captain Adelbert's place to get angry, especially since Hanjun had already noticed this.
He wasn't going to say anything more.
But Captain Adelbert who is still very curious asked, "So, what did you do to feel so guilty when you saw the knights?"
The local residents had awkward expressions on their faces.
"Well... uh..."
Hanjun learned the truth about today's incident from the players.
After Canaan Town was abandoned by Viscount Hereford, the people of Canaan Town struggled to survive.
Without food, they had nothing to eat.
Those who realized the dire situation in Canaan Town had left the town long ago.
The ones who remained were the people who still felt a connection to Canaan Town and wanted to protect their homeland.
Unfortunately, with so few people left, they couldn't survive using normal methods.
After much thought, they finally came up with one way to survive: to gather all the strength of the town and turn to robbery.
A group of ordinary people had turned into bandits.
If it wasn't because of hardship, how would they have ended up like this?
That night, they were all together, discussing how to divide their loot, when suddenly they heard someone outside saying they were from the Knights of the White Wolf.
This immediately scared them, thinking the knights had come to arrest them.
For the sake of their lives, of course, they decided to fight back.
But they never expected that this misunderstanding would happen.
