But the things that happened in Ulon Town gave them a sense of sothing unusual.
They believed that whoever could awaken the God of Light couldn't be just an ordinary Priest.
The fact that Ulon Town could resist the demon army's attacks wasn't sothing that could be handled by these useless heroes alone.
There had to be a high-ranking mber of the Church of Light orchestrating everything from behind the scenes.
Knowing this, the Order of the Shattering Light understood what they needed to do.
The man in black was the first one to arrive in Ulon Town.
He believed that the Church of Light must have placed soone of at least a cardinal's rank here.
If he could silently eliminate this person, Ulon Town wouldn't be a threat anymore.
After arriving in Ulon Town, he saw Father Barry and sensed that Father Barry was just an ordinary Priest—so ordinary that he might not even know any Light-type Magic.
The high-ranking mber of the Church of Light definitely wasn't him.
The man in black shifted his focus to other people and finally set his sights on Hanjun.
A fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy, who seed a bit lonely without many people around him, would be an easy target to get information from.
The man in black thought that as long as he offered a small benefit, the boy would obediently tell him everything.
Hanjun, just as the man in black had hoped, spoke freely, but none of it was the information he wanted.
The man in black said, "No, no, not these things. I want to know if anything strange happened before the heroes were summoned."
Hanjun shook his head, "I wouldn't know about that. Back then, everyone was just focused on running away; no one was paying attention to anything else."
The man in black wasn't discouraged and continued asking, "Then what strange things do you think are happening in the town?"
Hanjun started counting on his fingers and said, "Oh, there are lots of strange things. For example, a weird building was constructed in the quarry in the eastern plains. I heard they can make weapons there. And recently, the heroes made a potion that can make crops grow faster, so now I have more strawberries than I can eat every day…"
Hanjun was about to continue talking when the man in black who began to getting frustrated, interrupted him, "That's not what I want to know."
Hanjun widened his eyes and tilted his head, asking, "Then what do you want to know? Are you talking about a mysterious and powerful person from the Church of Light?"
The anger that had just risen in the man in black was imdiately extinguished by Hanjun's words, "Yes, yes! Do you know who that is?"
Hanjun smiled slightly and said, "Of course, I know."
The man in black waited for Hanjun to continue, but when he didn't, the man grew anxious, "Why aren't you saying more?"
Hanjun smiled and asked, "Why do you want to know, Uncle?"
The man in black understood what Hanjun ant.
He quickly pulled out a bag of gold coins and showed it to Hanjun, saying, "Tell Uncle and all of this will be yours."
Hanjun looked at the money bag, when he weighs it on his hand, he smiled with satisfaction and said aid, "Well, that person is ."
The man in black who is still feeling the pain of losing a bag of money, didn't imdiately grasp what Hanjun had said.
He was stunned and ask, "Huh?"
Then, Hanjun stretched out his hand, and a bright white rope suddenly appeared, binding the man in black tightly, making him unable to move.

The man in black found himself being restrained, unable to even cast magic.
Realizing what had happened, he shouted, "So it was you! It's you!"
But what could he say?
Should he admit that he had been tricked by a kid, or that his guess had been correct—Ulon Town did indeed have an important figure from the Church of Light?
However, he had underestimated the boy's strength.
The man in black couldn't understand, "You're only fourteen or fifteen years old!"
How could soone so young use such powerful magic?
Could this be what they call a genius?
"Darn it! If I had figured this out sooner, I could have eliminated the genius from the Church of Light. That way, it would have taken them another forty or fifty years to recover."
The man in black who are feeling humiliated and angry, accepted that he had failed the assassination and would face the consequences.
He decided that no matter how Hanjun tried to interrogate him, he wouldn't answer any questions.
But Hanjun didn't even try to interrogate him; he didn't do anything at all.
Then, the man in black noticed that the heroes from the caravan seed to have noticed sothing.
They turned around and ran towards Hanjun.
When they arrived, they saw the man in black tied up and looked at him with cautious eyes, "Hanjun, are you okay?"
Hanjun replied, "I'm fine. I'll leave this guy to you."
The players quickly understood and dragged the man in black away.
Even as he was being taken away, the man in black couldn't understand how the heroes knew so quickly what had happened and why they took him away without a second thought.
After they left, Hanjun stood still.
After a while, Hanjun asked in a slightly annoyed tone, "Have you seen enough? Do I have to invite you to co out?"
In a quiet corner of the town, where he thought no one was around, another person stepped out from behind a wall.
This person was wearing a brown-green leather robe, black gloves, and a chestnut-colored brooch shaped like a wheat ear.
He was older man, with so gray hair, but looked very energetic—clearly not an ordinary old man.
The man spoke slowly, "I never expected that the Church of Light would produce a Holy Son. It seems the rumors were true."
