Hanjun didn't care much about what the man said.
Instead, he asked curiously, "If I hadn't called you out, would you have just watched that guy make a move?"
Hanjun was referring to the man in black from earlier and realized that the person in front of him had been there all along.
The man smiled and said, "Of course not. I would have stopped him if he tried to do anything."
Hanjun didn't beat around the bush and directly asked, "Who are you?"
The man answered straightforwardly, "My na is Hallyne Wisdom. I'm an alchemist."

Hanjun nodded his head, looking sowhat satisfied.l, "An alchemist, huh? What brings you to Ulon Town?"
Hallyne stroked his white goatee and replied, "I just heard so things about Ulon Town from others and wanted to see if what they said was true. Don't worry, I an no harm. I'm not like that guy earlier."
When Hallyne first heard the rumors about Ulon Town, he was skeptical.
As an elder in the Alchemist Guild, he usually just made alchemical items and didn't get involved in battles.
Plus, alchemy wasn't effective against the demons, so he stayed behind the front lines and just providing supplies for them.
But when he heard that the front lines had collapsed,
Hallyne was shocked.
He couldn't believe that the defenses, which had held for so long, had finally fallen.
Was humanity really going to be destroyed like this?
With these doubts in mind, Hallyne heard a rumor that Ulon Town had actually defeated the demons and was planning to build a new frontline to continue defending humanity's hope.
After hearing about it, Hallyne discussed it with his colleagues and decided to help Ulon Town, just like they had helped the human front lines before.
However, his colleagues were disappointed.
They packed their things and prepared to flee, thinking that Hallyne's actions were pointless.
Even if Ulon Town had managed to push back the demons once, what would it matter in the end?
They believed it was inevitable that they would fail eventually.
Besides, they had provided so many alchemical items before, but in the end, it didn't make a difference—they still lost.
They didn't earn a single coin, and all their efforts and losses were for nothing.
Hallyne was silent.
He understood why his colleagues had lost their forr attitude and beco so disheartened.
When people realize their efforts are destined to fail, they're bound to lose the will to keep trying.
But Hallyne didn't want to give up.
He still wanted to keep fighting.
So he said, "I'll go to Ulon Town first to gather information. If everything is as the rumors say, I'll send word to you all."
His colleagues didn't really respond; they had already started packing up, ready to go ho and spend their remaining ti with their families, preparing for the end of the world.
And that's how Hallyne ended up here.
Hanjun, of course, knew that Hallyne was different from the man in black.
He didn't sense any malice from Hallyne, and what he said was true.
What caught Hanjun's attention even more was the title Hallyne ntioned—an Alchemist?
Hanjun had been thinking about which NPCs he could recruit to teach the players new skills, and here soone had shown up on his doorstep.
How convenient!
Hanjun asked, "So, have you found what you were looking for here?"
Hallyne had just arrived but had already seen things in Ulon Town that made him happy.
The people here were thriving, and even though this would be the first place the demon army would reach, there was no sense of despair among them.
They knew they would succeed.
As long as they continued on this path, they were confident they could resist the demons' attack.
Because of this, Hallyne had decided to stay.
Soon after, he noticed another suspicious person from the caravan approaching a young boy.
Like the man in black, Hallyne also focused on this boy.
It wasn't that he saw how powerful Hanjun was, but he noticed that Hanjun's deanor was very different from that of an ordinary 14-year-old boy.
The way Hanjun interacted with the man in black, and the expressions he showed, were far beyond what one would expect from soone his age.
This boy was definitely not ordinary, and Hallyne agreed with what the man in black had said in the end.
If the God of Light had truly awakened, then Hallyne had even more reason to stay.
If they could defeat the demon army, what did it matter if the God had once abandoned humanity?
Hallyne smiled and said, "I think it's quite good here."
Hanjun knew then that this Alchemist was planning to stay.
He nodded and called for Snowball, instructing it to go fetch Father Barry, who was negotiating with the head rchant.
Watching this, Hallyne seed thoughtful, "I've heard that Ulon Town has developed a special thod to make crops grow quickly?"
Hanjun replied, "Just a little trick, nothing to worry about."
Hallyne was intrigued, "You're joking; this is no small trick. If this could be spread, it would solve the food crisis in this world. Then, the people of World of Eorera wouldn't have to suffer from hunger."
Hanjun still didn't seem to care, "If the world is about to be destroyed and humanity is on the brink of extinction, having enough to eat won't be a big problem."
Hearing this, Hallyne fell silent, a bit embarrassed.
However, Hanjun agreed to Hallyne's request and took him to the fields to see the results for himself.
When Hallyne saw the crops, he was amazed, "Is this the result? Such a rich life force... Did you use so kind of potions to enhance the food's nutrition and speed up its growth?"
He quickly began to study it, showing the expertise of soone from the Alchemist Guild.
The more he studied, the more surprised he beca.
By the end, Hallyne exclaid, "Who made this potion? It's incredible! Even I can't create such a powerful potion. The person who made this must be a genius Alchemist."
