"Are you doubting my intelligence gathering ability?" The Hermit looked down and asked with a faint smile.
"Of course not."
Ludian quickly waved his hand.
The Hermit tapped the ground with his scepter and said meaningfully, "This war began hundreds of years ago, with filthy creatures hidden underground, brutal evil gods, and evil dragons from the North... They all want to claim this city as their own."
"After awakening, my responsibility is to protect this city left by Victoria, to guard its people and civilization."
The man's voice was ethereal, filled with a certain sigh of the ages, as if it had remained unchanged for hundreds of years.
"You... knew the Queen from three hundred years ago?"
Ludian was surprised and excited, his heart surging.
A mysterious guardian from hundreds of years ago, a Heart Snatching Demon lurking among the crowd, this seemed to him a tale of dusty history, a grand main storyline!
"Of course."
