Chapter 480

W-Well, first, please accept a small token of our gratitude Please, please, accept it

A thin and small old man approached me, and began to bow repeatedly at me. I was a head taller than him, so I had a clear view of his extremely desolate bald head.

In addition to the frightened state of this man, who seemed to be about to start crying and begging for life at any moment, his old-man appearance and his conspicuous black-rimmed glasses made me think that he looked like some kind of dull office worker who was about to be suddenly laid off.

This person called himself Randolph and offered to talk to me as a representative of the village. He was wondering what I was going to do now that I had completely annihilated the Crusader soldiers that were ravaging this village.

Rather than being courageous, it seemed that the reason why he had been the one to stand before me was that he had no other choice. The gazes of several villagers were piercing deeply into the back of his head.

For the time being, I couldnt do anything but accept his offer.

I knew I could escape as soon as I wanted to. Because of that, I thought Id get as much information here as I could while I was here. Sariel had only roughly explained the situation in and around the colonies, and that was all I knew. A glimpse was better than a thousand words.

With an overwhelming tone, I said Okay and followed him to a room where we sat at a table in order to discuss things.

Its white-painted walls still felt new, but this room, which already had hints of daily life, was part of the church. I never thought Id ever set foot into a church of the Cross Church
