"Then where did you come from?" the elderly knight asked Han Xing.
After speaking, he glanced overhead, seemingly noticing the vast territory above Han Xingâs land.
Han Xing shrugged, saying, "I donât know either, I just suddenly came over."
"Suddenly came over?" The elderly knight was baffled by Han Xingâs words.
He wanted to continue speaking but was interrupted by Han Xing.
"Alright, youâve asked so many questions, itâs my turn now, right?"
The elderly knight was stunned for a moment, showing slight displeasure, but he quickly suppressed it.
He nodded and said, "Go ahead."
Han Xing didnât hold back and directly asked, "Why is this place called the Land of the Abandoned Gods?"
This was the question Han Xing most wanted to know.
The elderly knight replied, "As the name suggests, this is a place abandoned by the gods, because here, the power of the gods cannot cover and the divine power cannot be exerted."
"Moreover, this place has a natural repulsion against all intelligent creatures; the stronger the existence, the greater the repulsion."
"Also, if you stay in the Land of the Abandoned Gods for too long, your power will rapidly drain, including that of the gods."
Han Xing nodded, continuing to ask, "Then why can the Human Race survive and develop here for a long time?"
The elderly knight shook his head, "I donât know, or rather, there are very few people in this world who understand the reason."
"But the powerful beings all know that the Land of the Abandoned Gods absolutely holds a big secret, so much so that it can weaken the power of the gods, which even a Holy Artifact cannot do!"
"There are also secrets hidden in the Human Race."
"Once, due to the pursuit of the secrets of the Land of the Abandoned Gods, many powerful beings from the outside once launched large-scale persecutions against the Human Race."
"But later, because the God of Light issued a divine decree, these persecution actions came to a halt."
After hearing his explanation, Han Xing had some initial understanding of this world.
The Land of the Abandoned Gods is a secluded area of this world.
Outside, there are more vast territories where powerful races like Elves, Dwarves, and Giants live.
Then, Han Xing continued to ask, "Speaking of which, why are you here?"
This question seemed to leave his counterpart silent for a long time.
A moment later, he sighed, "Back then, Lymesâ undead army swept across the entire Land of the Abandoned Gods, and this Lamina Town I stood in was inevitably engulfed in the flames of war."
"I led the Knight Guard under my command to bravely resist."
"But the undead army was too strong, and their combat methods were extremely strange, making it impossible for the Knight Guard to withstand."
"After they broke through the town, they began to massacre civilians, turning them into members of the undead army."
"I thought I would die in that war, but unexpectedly, through a stroke of luck, I managed to escape with my life."
"When I came to my senses, I found that this once-prosperous small town only had me left."
"Then I started repairing and mending this abandoned city alone, the death of my loved ones hit me hard, and it forever trapped me here..."
The elderly knightâs eyes revealed intense sadness.
At this moment, the elderly knight continued, "Iâve been here for hundreds of years, feeling very lonely... If possible, can you bring your friends over to chat with me?"
Han Xing stared at him, and a moment later, solemnly said,
"Youâre lying!"
The elderly knightâs expression changed as he looked at Han Xing, "Young man, what are you saying? What am I lying about?"
Han Xing said, "Old man, donât try to fool me anymore, youâre not the master of this place at all!"
Hearing this, the elderly knight was profoundly shocked.
But he still forced himself to suppress the panic in his eyes, saying, "Nonsense! Iâve lived here since I was a child, and when the Old City Lord passed away, His Majesty the Knight King personally handed me the City Lordâs Order, how could I not be the master here?"
Han Xing sneered at that, "Alright, stop pretending."
"I not only know youâre lying, I also know your real name isnât Lamino, but Longte, right?"
The elderly knight was instantly astounded.
He pointed at Han Xing, trembling, "You... you knew all along!?"
A smile appeared at the corner of Han Xingâs mouth.
Even when the other party was making his introduction, Han Xing already had his suspicions in his heart.
Because at that time, the elderly knight said his name was Lamino and that he was the City Lord.
But he certainly didnât expect that Han Xing and others were beings equipped with a system.
He could directly see the attributes of these monsters.
[Kingdom Knight Longte, (Two-Star Leader Creature)]
[Level]: lv20
[Attributes]: Power 403, agility 392, Spirit 354, Constitution 455.
[Skills]: Blade Chaos Dance, Divine Eagle Eye, Holy Light Barrier, Divine Punishment.
At this point, Longte also knew his disguise had been uncovered.
The panic in his eyes disappeared, and instead, he put on a calm face and said, "I was planning on letting you bring all your companions over, so I could take you down all in one go."
"Since you, young man, saw through it, Iâll catch you first and then deal with them slowly!"
After saying that, the unmasked Longte waved his hand!
The next moment, the main gate of the City Lordâs Mansion suddenly closed.
Including the doors to the reception hall, which also shut tight!
Boom!
At the same time, all lights in the hall dimmed, and the surroundings plunged into darkness.
In the darkness, Han Xing faintly heard Longteâs chilling laughter.
"Young man, let me introduce you to some new friends, and maybe soon, youâll become one of them too..."
