If you had to vote for your least favorite town, Padar would be the first town to come out on top.

The perennial fog, lifeless residents, litter, filthy puddles, and rats scurrying around are all there is to this place.

Even though it has the most quests and the cheapest prices on Katersos, you still can't find many players willing to visit it.

Walking into an alley that exuded a strange atmosphere, Ling Yu came to a dilapidated inn and pushed the door in.

The wooden door creaked unbearably, and the man couldn't help but wonder if the wooden door would collapse in the next instant.

Ling Yu looked around for a moment, and finally his gaze fell on an old man in a black robe.

It was a tall old man, dressed in a monk's robe that was so dirty that it was no longer visible. His face is withered, his beard is white, and his hands are like old branches, which makes people think that he is a zombie who has just crawled out of a coffin. The black and white eyes revealed a unique shrewdness and ability, without any sluggishness and cloudiness that should be expected at his age.

Ling Yu walked up to the old man and said politely: "Hello, respected Mr. Kars, I have a few things I want you to ask for, I don't know if it is convenient for you now?" ”

The old man glanced back at Ling Yu with some curiosity, and a hint of imperceptible surprise flashed in his eyes when he saw the Paladin Medal on his chest, but he quickly regained his composure: "You've found the wrong person, I'm just an old man on the verge of death, and I can't help you." ”

Ling Yu smiled: "I don't think so, at least an ordinary old man can't solve a wild giant wolf on his own. ”

Naturally, he did a lot of research before coming, and only chose to make head-on contact after determining that the other party's identity was unusual.

"Well, even if I'm not an ordinary old man, it seems that I am not obligated to answer your questions." The old man said very politely. This was also the first time that Ling Yu had encountered an NPC who was so unkind to him after gaining a hundred reputations.

"So what can I do to help me?"

"I can't do anything!" After saying this viciously, the old man continued to drink his wine mixed with a lot of water, ignoring Ling Yu no more.

Ling Yu was stunned, it was the first time he had encountered such an NPC that could not enter the oil and salt.

However, he was not discouraged, as the saying goes, the more difficult it is, the better the reward. The more difficult this task is, the higher the reward he will get in the future.

Since a frontal attack won't work, it's better to take a detour to the side.

Ling Yu didn't continue to talk to the old man, but instead found a few NPCs who were close to the other party, and then did tasks to improve his favorability.

With his own prestige and investment regardless of the cost, Ling Yu's friendship with those NPCs quickly increased to the point of approaching full value. Then he revealed intentionally or unconsciously that he wanted to ask Mr. Kars for some help but was refused.

"Kars, I heard that you refused to help that adventurer named Ling Yu, is it true?"

"Yes, what's wrong with that?"

"Why are you reluctant to help him? He was a very good, very kind young man. He healed my leg and helped my family's Sasha find a partner, which helped me a lot, and I believe he can be of great help to you as well. So I don't understand why you should refuse the request of such a well-meaning young man. ”

"There's a complicated reason for this, and I don't know how to explain it to you......"

"That's it! I don't want to hear that from you. I'm just trying to persuade you as a friend, hoping that you will stop dwelling on those meaningless things and sit down and have a serious conversation with the young man. ”

“…… Well, I'll think about it. That's all Kars can say.

Fick was the first to come to Kars, but not the last.

Soon, Kars found that everyone around him was trying to persuade him to agree to Ling Yu's request.

"Well, you won, what do you want to know, just ask." Kars had a look of resignation.

"I just want to know something about this medal." Ling Yu took out the Paladin's Medal and handed it to the other party.

Kars didn't even look at the medal, but asked, "What are you going to do after knowing this?" ”

"It's just pure curiosity...... As you know, curiosity is a trait that we all share as adventurers from other worlds. ”

"But curiosity kills cats, and knowing too much can bring you trouble." Karls gave him a meaningful look.

"We're not going to die."

"But it's not without losses, is it?"

"I can afford everything."

Looking at Ling Yu's incomparably determined eyes, Kars sighed.

"Well, since you have made up your mind, I will not persuade you anymore." After a pause, Kars began to tell the secret that had been hidden in the depths of history.

When the empire was first established, the relationship between the people of the Holy Knights was still very harmonious.

As the first emperor of the empire, Pararedin was also trusted by the other members of the group, and did not feel jealous because he was the only one in charge of the throne.

However, this harmony and harmony eventually collapsed because of the appearance of a woman.

No one knows where this woman came from or what her identity is, only that with her appearance, Emperor Palareddin began to have disagreements and conflicts with the chief magister of the regiment, Kanat.

At first, the members didn't take this matter to heart, thinking that it was just two people fighting for a woman, after all, it was indeed a very attractive and beautiful woman, and it was not so surprising that this result would occur.

However, not long after the two had a disagreement, Palaredin was suddenly assassinated.

The first to be suspected was Kanat, who had a huge conflict with Pararedin, but since there was no evidence, little was done about it. And most importantly, the members of the Holy Knights do not want to believe that their former compatriots who once lived and died together will attack each other, they prefer to believe that this is a conspiracy of some evil organization intent on subverting the Empire.

The investigation was at a bottleneck from the start, and they were unable to identify the assassin of Palaredin, but the few remaining members of the group became interested in the vacated supreme position.

Around the one and only high position, six members of the Holy Knights swung their butcher knives at their former comrades, and a bloody and brutal battle began.

The remaining three members of the Holy Knights tried to stop this, but they failed due to their lack of strength and had to choose to leave in disgrace.

System: The second stage of the quest is triggered, please go to find Parreddin's body and find out the cause of his death.

Ling Yu's expression was a little strange, as he found that Kars was actually telling these stories in the tone of a human being.

"I would like to ask, what is your identity?"

"Carls Rokist. Chief priest of the Holy Order. Kars introduced himself very calmly.
