Chapter 1146 City Lord



When the old man heard the bell above the door ring, he looked up from his book at them.š’©š“žš‘£š‘™xt.š‘š’š‘€

Seeing them at first, he didn’t really react. However, when he saw Satyr, he suddenly revealed a smile and said, “Friend, it’s been too long since you last visited. Why haven’t you come by recently?”

Satyr gave a shrug and said, “I’ve been busy with my farm, so I’ve had no reason to come to the city.”

The old man shook his head and said, “What’s the fun of playing with that farm? You should come and learn from me in the city.”

Satyr shook his head with a smile as he said, “You know what my laws are, so why would I live in a city? Anyway, that’s not important.”

Satyr turned to point at Lin Fan’s group before saying, “I found these kids on my farm recently and I was hoping that you can help them.”

With him saying this, the old man finally turned his attention to them.

As his gaze fell onto Lin Fan’s group, they felt an irresistible probing force entering them. This was most likely the spiritual senses of this old man.

Even if they wanted to resist, it was impossible for them to do so.

All they could do was wait and see what he wanted with them.

After a minute, the irresistible probing force went away and they all let out a sigh of relief.

The old man looked at Angela first as he said, “This one has a familiar feel to her, almost like those spirits from the south.” Then he turned to Yuki and said, “This one too, but it’s a bit weaker.”

When he turned to Momonga, he revealed a smile and said, “This one feels similar to an old friend.”

Momonga couldn’t help revealing a confused look as he looked at the old man. With the way that he was looking at his face, it was as if he was trying to figure out just who this old man was that he would say this.

Finally, the old man turned to Lin Fan and said, “This oneā€¦this one has a strange feeling that I haven’t felt in a long time. This one could beā€¦”

Before he could finish, Satyr suddenly came forward to say, “I know what you want to say, but let me say a few things to you first.”

The old man had a confused look on his face, but he still followed Satyr to the side. 

As the two of them spoke, the old man couldn’t help turning back from time to time to look at Lin Fan. With each time that he turned back to look at Lin Fan, there was more and more surprise that filled his face.

Finally, when the two of them came back, there was a wide smile on the old man’s face as he looked at Lin Fan.

Lin Fan couldn’t help feeling like he was in some kind of danger when he saw this face.

After all, the way that the old man was looking at him was like a predator looking at prey.

Still, he forced himself to stay calm as he waited to see what the old man had to say.

The old man gave a nod of approval seeing this calm look on my face.

Then the old man said, “We’ve been waiting for you for a long time. It’s great to see that you’re finally here.”

“Huh?” That was all that Lin Fan could say in response to what the old man said since he had no idea what was happening.

The old man said that they had been waiting for him for a long time, but Lin Fan didn’t even know who this old man was. So why would he say that he had been waiting for him?

At the same time, who was this ‘we’ that he was talking about?

It was clear that there was more than meets the eye with this situation.

Since he had finished escorting them here, there was no reason for Satyr to remain here any longer. He waved his hand at the old man and said, “Old Fong, is it alright if I just leave them to you? You’ll take care of them, right?”

The old man called Old Fong gave a nod and then waved his hand while saying, “Go and take care of your business, I’ll take care of these kids.”

With that, Satyr turned to look at Lin Fan’s group to say, “I’ll just leave you with Old Fong. He’ll be able to take care of you guys.”

Then he took a deep look at Lin Fan before saying, “I’m very glad I was able to meet you.”

Without waiting for a response from Lin Fan, he turned and walked out without another word.

After he walked out, there was a smile that appeared on Satyr’s face as he thought, “There is hope after all. I have to tell everyone about this.”

With that, he happily headed off into the city.

But back in the bookstore, the mood was anything but happy.

Lin Fan’s group was completely on guard against the old man because of what he said and did. Right now, they were even trying to think of a way to escape this placeā€¦

After all, it very much seemed like they had just been sold into human trafficking with the way that things went.

The old man named Old Fong just stood there with the same smile on his face, almost as if he was waiting for something.

But finally when it seemed like Lin Fan wouldn’t say anything, he said, “Do you not know why you’re here?”

When Lin Fan heard this, he couldn’t help revealing a very confused look as he stared at Old Fong.

The way that Old Fong said this, it was almost as if he knew why the system had sent him hereā€¦But why would Old Fong know something like this?

Lin Fan slowly asked, “Do you know something about a system?”

Angela and the others were confused when they heard this, but Old Fong’s eyes lit up when he heard this. He quickly said in an excited voice, “I knew it, I knew that it was you!”

Lin Fan was certain now that whoever this Old Fong was, he was related to the people that had given him the system.

Then did that mean that Old Fong knew why they gave it to him?

Also, how did he find out about him?

As far as he could remember, he didn’t do anything that would have revealed that he had a systemā€¦so how had he been able to tell that he was the one with the system?

Slowly, Lin Fan asked, “Do you know what the system is?”

Old Fong slightly knitted his brows when he heard this before asking, “Are you still only that far into your quest? This is much too slow with what’s been happening recentlyā€¦”

His voice drifted off as a thoughtful look appeared on his face.

Lin Fan deeply knitted his brows when he heard this.

With this, it was confirmed that Old Fong knew quite a bit about his system, as well as why he had been brought to this world.

So Lin Fan quickly asked, “If you know anything about the system, I would be grateful if you told me.”‘

Old Fong came back from his thoughts to look at Lin Fan before shaking his head with a smile, “Unfortunately, I can’t tell you anything. This is something that you will discover for yourself.”

Lin Fan knitted his brows even more when he heard this.

However, before he could say anything, Old Fong said, “For now, let me introduce myself. I am the City Lord of this Waterfall City, one of the pantheon of the northern continent.”

“Pantheon?” Lin Fan couldn’t help repeating.

Old Fong nodded before saying, “It’s the group of strongest gods on a continent. I’m one of the strongest God Realm Experts on the northern continent, which is why I’m in the pantheon of the northern continent.”

It seemed to make sense since with so many Gods Realm Experts, it was strange that there was this kind of order in the city. Only someone that was much more powerful than them could keep this order.

So it would make sense that there was a powerful God Realm Expert acting as the City Lord to suppress the God Realm Experts.

But that still didn’t answer Lin Fan’s questions.

Old Fong could see the anxiety on Lin Fan’s face, so he said, “For now, I’ll be sending you to Mist City, the largest city on the northern continent. That is where the head of our northern continent pantheon is. You will receive your next clue there.”

“Clue?” Lin Fan repeated in a confused voice.

“That’s right, you’ll be receiving a clue there that will slowly answer your questions.” Old Fong said with a smile.

Seeing the unhappy look on Lin Fan’s face, Old Fong added, “You have to know the history of this world before you can know the reason why you were brought here. So before that, we need you to visit all of the continents and slowly learn about this world.”

Lin Fan didn’t know how to react to this, but he could see from Old Fong’s expression that he didn’t have a choice in this matter.

It seemed that the path had already been prepared for him and the only thing that he could do was follow it.

So with a sigh, Lin Fan said, “Alright, send us there.”
