After a short while, villagers began to emerge from the small houses, men and women, young and old.
They were all dressed in coarse linen clothes, with expressions of amazement on their faces.
At this time, an elderly man, supported by the villagers, came to Han Xing and the others.
"Distinguished Knights from afar, I am Barnaby, the village chief of Hundred Fruit Garden."
After saying this, the village chief was about to kneel before Han Xing and the others.
Han Xing quickly stopped him, "Chief Barnaby, there's no need for formalities."
However, the village chief insisted, "According to the kingdom's law, commoners must kneel before nobility."
"You knights protect the land of our Cloud Sea Kingdom from invasion, giving us a place to survive."
"You are more worthy of our respect than those noble lords."
After speaking, the village chief disregarded their protests and led the other villagers to kneel down simultaneously.
