Chapter 267 (2): This Is Justice
After discussing with Vera and Valkyrie, Wayne turned to Knight and said, “You said you were a marginalized slave. What about the inner area? Are there more monsters like you?”
“The Golden City houses a large number of Thoggua’s people. We’re all waiting for our great master to awaken. They will lead us to the more abundant Chosen Land,” Knight said longingly.
I’m afraid that won’t happen. You guys are too creepy!
“How many of your kind are there?”
“Not sure. The Golden City is large, so there should be at least thirty to forty thousand.”
“How powerful are they?”
“There are many stronger than I am. The leading priest wields the power of sunlight. They’re effectively the god of the Golden City, and everyone follows their commands.”
The power of sunlight!
Seeing the blonde twin-tails swishing around, Wayne grasped them and spoke through their telepathic group chat, “Don’t be hasty. That person might not be Father-in-Law. Forgive my bluntness, but it’s best not to get your hope up, or the disappointment may be great.”
Vera had such hopeful expectations that Wayne had to temper them. Only the chosen knights themselves or those permitted by the knights could wield a knight’s power—cheaters like him being the exception that proved the rule. If the leading priest truly wielded the Sun Knight’s power, the possibility that they were Vera’s father was extremely high.
However, he would have lost himself under Thoggua’s influence.
Wayne took a deep breath. It was good news; at least Vera’s father was still alive.
