The villager with the scruffy beard tried to put up a fight, but after a few solid punches from Timothy left him with a bruised face and a bloody nose, he spilled the beans about everything.
He came from a country called the Red Moon Kingdom, home to a million people.
A million isn't exactly a huge number, but it's nothing to sneeze at either.
Like most countries, it was tough to find any practitioners in the Red Moon Kingdom.
But there was one unique thing about it: their king was a retired practitioner.
And not just any practitioner, but the once-famed Holy Emperor Lavinia.
It seemed that Holy Emperor Lavinia had a massive grudge against Goddess Sylvia, so much so that within the entire Red Moon Kingdom, the people had a pretty bad impression of Goddess Sylvia. They even went as far as to build temples just to slander her.
