Global Game: Developing a Knight Clan

「Dawn City.」

After a new round of expansion, Dawn City now had over a million residents.

The area around the Mist Forest had long since been completely cleared and turned into sprawling farmland.

The Demon Beasts had already migrated to the Western Realm of the Karte Continent.

Thus, aside from the High-Tier Saint Tier Demon Beasts capable of changing their Body Type, few Demon Beasts entered or left Dawn City anymore.

Of course, there were still Low-Tier and Tierless Demon Beasts kept as contract pets.

However, just like the soldiers of Dawn City, the Demon Beasts were under unified management and had designated living quarters.

In the rear courtyard of the City Lord’s Mansion.

"Eight years have passed in the blink of an eye. I can still vividly recall the scenes of us breaking new ground back then."

"Who would have thought that in just eight years, I would have come by such great fortune."

In the rear courtyard, York and his wife stood on a terrace.

His eyes filled with wistful emotion as he watched his eldest son, over seven, and his younger son and daughter learning Swordsmanship from a Knight in the courtyard below.

"I don’t know what kind of luck you stumbled into to be so valued by His Majesty."

"Now, not only have you successfully reached Tier Six, but you’ve even gained the status of a Dragon Descendant with Dragon Blood."

"To have gained such strength in eight years... Do you have any idea how many beings could never even dream of an opportunity like yours?"

Lucia’s eyes were full of tenderness. Despite her words, her face was graced with a happy smile.

Hearing this, York looked at his wife and spread his hands.

"To be honest, I’m just as confused. To this day, I still don’t understand why His Majesty values me so much."

"But I don’t think there’s any point in dwelling on the past. At least now, in this world, I might finally be of some use to His Majesty."

"I just don’t know what His Majesty intends for me to do in this world."

Lucia looked slightly puzzled at his words.

"Has there been no news from His Majesty recently?"

"Oh, there has been some. According to the Dragon Eagles, His Majesty seems to be busy helping the Human Race of another world deal with an insect-like Alien Civilization."

"A civilization of insects? Honestly, I can’t even imagine what that would look like. It’s truly mind-boggling."

York said with no small amount of wonder.

Lucia mulled it over for a moment, then smiled and said,

"It’s not that hard to imagine. Probably like the insectoid Demon Beasts."

"But speaking of which, His Majesty’s actions are truly unfathomable. The conflict in the Karte World had just ended, and He immediately went to another world. Such methods are truly beyond our imagination."

"I always feel like His Majesty travels between different worlds as easily as we would take a trip to another region."

York just smiled at this.

"Is that really so hard to understand?"

"Don’t forget, His Majesty once called Himself the God of Space and Exploration."

"And His Majesty’s identity is now completely out in the open. As the great Space Dragon, it’s not surprising that He could have explored a large number of different worlds over the past ten thousand years."

"I just wonder what kind of plans His Majesty is laying in all these worlds."

"In any case, it must be important. I just hope I can somewhat keep up with His Majesty’s pace."

Lucia immediately nodded at his words.

But just then, a streak of light suddenly shot across the sky and landed abruptly in the courtyard.

"Hm?"

York looked toward where the light had landed, his expression turning to one of astonishment.

"Lady Crimson? What are you...?"

The visitor was none other than the Red Dragon, Crimson.

Crimson’s expression was grave. The moment she walked toward York, she spoke abruptly.

"You human boy, you still have the nerve to be lazing around here."

"Do you know that His Majesty has already returned to the Oakland Continent?"

Having transformed into a woman in a crimson dress, Crimson walked up to York and spoke in a tone that was anything but polite.

"Huh? His Majesty is back?"

"It’s not as simple as His Majesty just being back. The Oakland Continent is in a total uproar now."

Crimson casually walked to the side of the terrace, grabbed a piece of fruit, and tossed it into her mouth.

She spoke with a self-satisfied smile as she ate.

"An uproar? Did His Majesty do something big again?"

"Of course it’s a huge deal. I reckon that even if I hadn’t come to tell you, the humans you have stationed on the Oakland Continent would have sent news back soon anyway."

"The God of Truth has been resurrected!"

Crimson didn’t beat around the bush and stated it plainly.

"Truth? The God of Truth has been resurrected?!"

Lucia, at York’s side, was dumbfounded and couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.

York, after a moment of astonishment, became lost in thought.

"Do those Bishops know?"

"Of course they knew immediately. After all, they’re devout believers. They felt it the moment their god was resurrected."

"Even though this world is separated by an unknown distance, they still felt the call."

"So, when I came back, I saw those Bishops already rushing back through the Gate of Truth with a group of Missionaries."

Although the Gate of Truth was under York’s jurisdiction, certain groups were not restricted from using it: first, the Saint Tier Magical Beasts; second, the Dragon Species and Dragon Descendants; and third, the Bishops of Truth.

As York’s three main pillars of support in this world, it was only natural that they had special privileges.

Hearing what Crimson said, York was truly caught off guard.

’One of the Deities just reappeared on the Oakland Continent like that?’

However, when he recalled that this deity was the God of Truth, York felt it was only to be expected.

’After all, the Divine Artifact Lince had held from the very beginning belonged to this very god.’
