The sun was ready to set on the horizon, the yellowy raw basked the Ropina Inn.

Tang Shaoyang and Chief Rick were staying on the second floor, sitting behind the dark-tinted window side by side. From the second floor, they could see the crowd of people walking on the street.

"What actually happened, Tang?

" The old man still did not know why his son-in-law rushed them to evacuate. However, he listened to him anyway since the man was serious with his words.

"I offended your Gods,

" He was still looking at the street,

"If I am right, The Church's force is on the way to catch me.

"

Chief Rick looked to the man with his eyes widened,

"You offended my Gods? What do you mean by offending my Gods? No, no, no, in the first place, how did you offend the Gods?

" The old man was trying to comprehend the actual situation.

However, time was not on his side for Tang Shaoyang to explain everything to him. Tang pointed his finger on the street as he stood up,

"Old Man, you better move your ass now, they are coming.

"

Chief Rick stood up and looked down on the street. The crowded and bustling street was now quiet and empty. He was still processing the absurd information he just received until Tang pulled him and dragged him to the first floor.

They went to the kitchen, and there was a secret passage below the kitchen stove. Tang Shaoyang pulled the stove, below the stove stairs led to the underground passage. He pushed the old man to the stairs,

"Go to the rest, I will catch up later.

"

Chief Rick however held his wrist, hard,

"Nope, you also follow me. If it's the Church's force, you have no hope to escape from them,

" Tang Shaoyang forcefully released the grip and assured the old man,

"Nope, I may not win against them, but they can't catch me. Go!

"

Chief Rick looked to the man's eyes,

"Then I will stay with–

" Tang Shaoyang cut his words half-way,

"Stupid! If you stay with me, you will be just a burden for me. Leave!

"

He forced the old man to leave. Rick reluctantly left Tang behind as he walked down to the underground passage. The underground passage was built by the old man for the emergency case the Beast Stampede broke into the city. However, now he used the passage to run away from the Church instead.

After sending the old man away, he closed the secret passage and walked out of the kitchen. The inn that just got cleaned and decorated was now empty. He walked toward the exit, on the way, he took a chair with him.

Tang Shaoyang opened the door, the street was void of lives. The shops around them suddenly closed and no people passed the street too. He placed the chair in front of the door, and he sat there with his hands crossed on the chest. He raised his right foot and placed his right foot on top of the left knee, he then started to wiggle his right foot.

—Do you want to fight them, now? That's so reckless of you. We don't know how strong they are, but from your slave's reaction, they are a fearful force that is feared by everyone.

Zaneos voiced his thoughts, he did not agree with Tang Shaoyang's action who tried to confront the Church's force alone.

"Of course not, because I don't know how strong they are, I have to stay to test them out. A few exchanges against the Templar Knight then I will run with Lighting Flash and Flash Step. They will hunt me down after this, so I need to measure how strong they are for the future battle,

" Tang Shaoyang explained his plans. Battle was never his option, not until he could measure the standard power of this world. Also, measure his power, how strong he was actually in this world.

Knowing he could not stop Tang Shaoyang, Zaneos stopped persuading him. He did not have time to persuade Tang Shaoyang either as a group of knights in silver armor came from the two sides of the street. The Silver Knights walked in order, slowly approaching and flanking him from the two sides.

"The guests have come, I should greet them,

" he stood and the knights stopped their marching as well. They stopped around fifteen meters away from the inn.

One knight stepped up from the group, he approached Tang and stopped two meters away in front,

"Heathen! Surrender and redeem your sin to the Gods, and your life shall be spared!

"

The knight pulled out the silver sword, glistening under the yellow sun's ray. The sword was not like a cheap sword for sure, and it has its tip aimed at his throat.

"I am expecting this, but never thought the self-proclaimed Gods would be this petty. I thought God was supposed to be forgiving,

" it was just a wild guess of him, but he never thought they would send their force to catch him.

—That's not the main issue for them. They want all the information in your head. I bet they have prepared a skill to read your mind so they can get the information they want from you.

Zowen spoke up, the Gods made their move not because they were offended by Tang Shaoyang. They wanted the information in his head regarding the game.

"Nah, if they were honest with me, I would be honest with them as well. The information in my head is not that important or secret at all, but they decided to toy with me instead,

" Tang Shaoyang shrugged his shoulders lightly.

The knight in front of him squinted his eyes as he watched the man talk by himself. His brown pupils move to the right and the left, trying to search whether there was someone around beside the man.

"Surrender–

" the knight tried to warn Tang Shaoyang one more time. However, a battle-ax suddenly appeared in the man's hand. The knight immediately raised his shield to block.

Dang!

The force behind the battle-ax pushed the knight five steps back. His hand which was holding the shield was trembling.

'I never tried this to my kind, but maybe this might work,'

Basic Detection

He cast the skill on people for the first time. The opponents were too many to fight them, if the skill worked he could finish the job soon.

It worked, he never thought of using the skill on the human before. Since the skill worked, he glanced to the right and cast the same skill.

The Guardian's level was 120s on average, it was quite high. But soon he realized something, these knights were Guardian Knights, not Templar Knight Arina and Chief Rick were talked about.

—Templar Knight should be around Level 150s or even above Level 200s, you better escape now! You can use Basic Detection on them, that should be enough.

Zaneos immediately reminded Tang Shaoyang to escape.

"Take him down, but don't kill him! The order is to catch him alive!

" The Knight who got pushed back raised his sword against Tang Shaoyang.
