The player, busy with their task, was initially irritated at being interrupted.
However, upon looking up and realizing it was Hanjun, their expression instantly changed.
After all, Hanjun was an important NPC.
If a key NPC was seeking them out, it had to be for a very significant quest, right?
The player eagerly asked, "How can I assist you?"
Hanjun gave the player a quest to find someone.
When the players saw the details, they felt slightly disappointed—it was just a regular quest.
Still, every little bit counts, and it was an opportunity to gain some favorability points with the Holy Son.
Why not take it?
Your journey continues with empire
The player happily set off to find Master PungPong.
However, he wasn't foolish enough to search for Master PungPong aimlessly.
Instead, he asked in the world's chat if anyone had seen him.
This time, luck was on his side.
After asking twice, Master PungPong himself saw the message and responded immediately.
[ Maaster PungPong: What do you need? ]
The player relayed the quest details, and Master PungPong was a bit surprised.
After confirming he understood, the player received a task completion notification.
What the player hadn't expected was how advanced the game system was.
Tracing back to the source, they all knew that the God of Light vanished after the God of Darkness unleashed the demon army, but no one really knew the precise timeline.
Was it because the God of Light disappeared that the demons emerged, or did the God of Light vanish because of the demons?
This was the most crucial question so far.
If they could figure it out, they might uncover the true reason behind the God of Light's disappearance.
Spicy Flavor Fairy said, "I've seen some records related to this in the library. There might be a few clues."
Master PungPong's eyes lit up.
He knew that if anyone could find the first clue, it would definitely be Spicy Flavor Fairy.
Spicy Flavor Fairy added, "I don't remember exactly which book it was, but I'll need some time to go through the archives. I'll get back to you by the afternoon."
Master PungPong nodded his head vigorously, eager for any clue, no matter how small it was.
Spicy Flavor Fairy went to search through the books, while on the other side, Pork Rib Boss suddenly spoke up: "I also found something while I was at the church in the Royal City of Orinthia."
Master PungPong immediately turned his gaze toward him.
Of course!
They had forgotten that there was also a church in the Royal City of Orinthia, where Thordan was still diligently working.
Pork Rib Boss continued, "You know how Thordan is incredibly interested in everything related to the Church of Light. After he learned that I was a Paladin, he specifically asked me how to become one. I told him, and in return, he gave me a journal. At the time, I didn't know what use the journal had, so I just kept it. Now that I think about it, this is probably the right time to use it."
Master PungPong urged Pork Rib Boss to take out the journal and see what it contained.
The journal Pork Rib Boss pulled out was very old, but it was clear that the previous owner had taken great care to preserve it.
Spicy Flavor Fairy began studying the journal from the first page.
The journal belonged to someone from 500 years ago, during a time when the Church of Light was already under oppression.
However, despite the hardships, the Church still retained considerable power.
They were biding their time, all while continuously calling upon the God of Light.
