Gu Qingshan looked at the man.
He had a round face and a bushy beard, with a scar outside his left eye that looked as if some weapon had nicked him. He seemed to be in his twenties.
A crest was emblazoned on the man's shoulder armor.
A lion and an eagle were engraved on the shield-shaped crest, with yellow patterns on a black background.
After searching his memories for a moment, Gu Qingshan recalled the crest's origins.
It was the family crest of Count Heath, the principality's Minister of Military Affairs.
In this world, families gathered around the gods they worshipped, drawing in those who shared their faith and making them part of their faction, where they served.
In other words, the man before him was a knight of the count's household.
Gu Qingshan cautiously asked, "May I ask what I can do for you?"
"Haha, it's nothing much. My lord has a troublesome matter, and I thought that if you could grow a few more years and learn the art in the Sin Judgment Codex, you'd be able to help us," the man said frankly.
So that was what this was about.
They had apparently already found out that only a Sin Hunter could resolve their problem.
Gu Qingshan smiled. "As long as it isn't anything evil, I can agree to help right now."
The man was overjoyed. "Young Master Rod, I know who you are, but I didn't know you'd become a Sin Hunter. I'm Mull, the knight captain of the Heath family."
He pointed behind him—
Rows of neatly armored warriors were appearing one by one from the void.
"These brothers are all my men. We belong to Count Heath's Second Knight Order. This year, we were assigned to this area to guard the border."
