But why would the Church of Light be unhappy with Saradin?
Thinking about this, Viscount Hereford also considered what the steward had said and wondered, "Where did Ulon Town get such sharp weapons?"
The steward nervously reminded him, "Lord, have you forgotten about the order you gave over ten years ago to mine mana stones in Ulon Town?"
Viscount Hereford finally rembered.
The quarry in Ulon Town had brought him unexpected wealth and rewards.
Mana stones were extrely rare, and Viscount Hereford made a fortune from them.
However, because the quarry operated day and night, the workers often died from exhaustion.
There was also a giant white wolf lurking nearby, so Viscount Hereford, not wanting to deal with the dead workers' families, used the wolf as an excuse and left quickly.
After all, he had already made plenty of money from the quarry.
And not to ntion, Saradin was invited to Lindblum City by Viscount Hereford because of a large batch of mana stones.
Since then, Lindblum City had gained an interdiate-level Warlock to protect them.
Viscount Hereford was thrilled.
With just a bit of labor cost, he had earned enough gold and jewels to live comfortably for the rest of his life.
Unfortunately, he was still not satisfied.
Hearing that Ulon Town had used the quarry to produce a large batch of sharp weapons made him uneasy.
He hadn't expected Ulon Town to deal with the white wolf and restart the quarry.
On top of that, they sohow managed to make so many sharp weapons.
If he could get his hands on these weapons, Lindblum City would be better protected.
With these weapons, the people of Lindblum City might survive the demon army.
He was thinking about the welfare of Lindblum City's citizens!
Viscount Hereford was excited but almost forgot about Saradin's situation.
Just as he was in high spirits, Viscount Hereford rembered Saradin's fate, and his expression turned grim.
The steward initially thought Viscount Hereford had been swayed, but seeing his suddenly cold face, he was confused, "Viscount?"
Viscount Hereford wiped his face and said, "Never mind. We can't afford to ss with Ulon Town for now."
The steward asked, "What's wrong with Ulon Town? Aren't they just from a small town? If Mr. Turner doesn't plan to give us the goods, maybe we can try to get Ulon Town's people to deliver them to the Lord's residence."
Viscount Hereford thought this would only make things worse.
Ulon Town might be a small town now, but who knows what might happen in the future?
The Church of Light had summoned the heroes in Ulon Town, and since even Saradin got beaten, he worried that if he really did sothing, he might end up being the next target.
While Viscount Hereford was hesitating, the steward tried to tempt him further, saying, "Viscount, Ulon Town is your territory, after all."
This earned the steward a hard slap from Viscount Hereford.
Viscount Hereford's face turned red with anger as he shouted, "Be quiet!"
He might be a greedy person, but he also values his own life.
Knowing the possible consequences of his actions, he wasn't foolish enough to push himself into danger.
He wasn't that stupid.
The steward, stunned by the slap, quickly realized what Viscount Hereford ant and said, "I'm sorry, it was my mistake."
Having worked with Viscount Hereford for many years, the steward was trying to act in his best interest.
Viscount Hereford sighed and said, "From now on, report anything about Ulon Town to in a tily manner. Don't take matters into your own hands."
If Ulon Town could really deal with the demon army, it would protect his own life as well.
For that reason, they couldn't make things difficult for Ulon Town.
The steward agreed.
anwhile, Mr. Turner had Little Dylan pass a ssage to Master PungPong and the others, informing them that the Lord's residence was interested in their batch of goods.
He would do his best to keep the goods safe, but if the Lord's residence sent people over, things might get complicated.
They should decide whether to continue with the deal or not.
Master PungPong and his team returned to the inn happily, only to hear the unpleasant news.
He then asked, "The Lord's residence? Haven't we already visited them? Why are they suddenly interested in our mission items?"
Flower Deer answered, "Based on the quality of the weapons, the craftsmanship in this world isn't as advanced as on Earth. It's not surprising that soone would be interested in our goods."
Master PungPong asked, "What should we do then?"
At that mont, Hanjun skipped downstairs and cheerfully said, "No need to worry. Just continue as planned. The Lord's residence won't target us."
Master PungPong blurted out, "Why?"
Then he rembered that Hanjun had ntioned going to beat soone up and fell silent.
Could Hanjun have beaten up Viscount Hereford?
Little Dylan who is still unsure whom to listen to, saw how certain Master PungPong and the others were and hurried back to tell Mr. Turner.
Mr. Turner laughed heartily and clapped his hands, saying, "The fat old man finally got what he deserved."
Master PungPong and his team finally completed their mission.
They had a peaceful night with no one bothering them.
The next day, Mr. Turner delivered their items to the Inn, which ant they were ready to head back.
They had only stayed in Lindblum City for two days, but it felt like they had experienced so much.
They were a bit dazed.
After Hanjun returned with good news yesterday, they shared what they had seen in Lindblum City.
It also gave Flower Deer so inspiration for designing Ulon Town's future.
The most important thing is that Lindblum City has a rchant Guild and an Adventurers Guild.
The rchant Guild is a major base for trading, while the Adventurers' Guild is where adventurers gather and are managed.
However, Ulon Town doesn't have these facilities.
They have to go to Lindblum City to trade for the things they need.
