It wasn't the first time Kieran visited Harvest Inn.
From a certain aspect, Harvest Inn was the place that Kieran was most familiar with in the big city, other than his own room.
However, Kieran had never entered the bar counter of Harvest Inn before.
Let alone the room behind the bar counter that was purposely opened up.
Following Rachel, Kieran went through a small door. The noise from the outside was immediately isolated.
Kieran glanced over the patterns on the edge of the door frame and his heart suddenly came to a realization.
"Soundproof and ignore mystical runes?"
Pro level [Mystical Knowledge] made it easy for Kieran to decipher the mystical runes. Even if he wanted to set it up, as long as he had the necessary materials, it wouldn't be hard.
However, Kieran wouldn't go through so much trouble to decorate 13th Wallway Street.
First of all, his room was just a temporary resting place, there was no need for such decorations.
Second of all, anything that was related to the mystical realm was priceless. With such materials, Kieran would rather spend it on more valuable items.
Kieran always had the simple habit of spending money where it mattered most.
Of course, Kieran didn't have the bad habit of imposing his own habits on others.
So, while Kieran followed Rachel, he sized up the surroundings calmly.
Behind the door was a corridor that wasn't that long.
A dark red carpet accompanied the walls of the same color, and other than a wall lamp, there weren't any other decorations.
It was simple to the point of being concise.
"I'll bring you to meet the three guys later, not all of them but the most frequent ones.
Oh right.
If they embarrass you, don't worry about me, teach them a lesson.
Those guys are all proud and arrogant, if you don't show your strength, you won't be able to blend into their circle. "
When Kieran passed by the wall lamp, his friend, the female owner of the inn, reminded him.
"Em."
Kieran followed behind her and didn't say anything else, only nodding.
Kieran was not surprised by this.
In fact, it would be strange if every high-ranker was as easy to talk to as J. Perelman the Fisherman.
After all, which one of the players who stood out from the crowd of common and veteran players didn't have pride?
The short corridor soon came to an end.
The style of the small hall at the end was also simple.
One fireplace, two small round.
Beside the table, there were five sofa chairs.
One of the round tables was empty, while the other round table had three people sitting on the three sofas, each with a different appearance.
"Mark."
Rachel pointed at a man in camouflage who had his back straight even though he was sitting down. She then pointed at the man beside her, who was wearing a T-shirt and jeans and looked like he was slumped on the sofa. "This is Karles."
Then, Rachel pointed at the last person who was wrapped in a huge cloak. Even though the System had covered his face, he still wore a hood and said, "Wu, my friend in real life."
Finally, Rachel turned around and introduced Kieran.
“2567。”
"The Flame Emperor that you've always wanted to see! The Fire Tyrant! The Flaming Devil! "
"Of course.
Now, you can add the Blade of the Daybreaker. "
Rachel introduced Kieran in detail.
Mark's gaze was instantly fired at Kieran with heavy pressure, as if he was facing a mountain falling from the sky.
Karles also slightly twisted his neck, a sharp aura hovering in front of Kieran like an unsheathed longsword.
It was like a bow but not a shot.
There wasn't any hostility but it felt like he was testing Kieran.
Obviously, just like what Rachel said, in order to enter this small group, it wasn't just a recommendation, one would have to test one's own strength as well.
Kieran didn't dislike it though.
Kieran didn't want to join a gathering that was just for show.
Such a gathering would only leave him disappointed.
With that thought in mind, Kieran glanced over the two of them, his body slightly emitting a sulfuric aura.
Mark and Karles' aura was out of the ordinary, it was enough to cause a common player to fall into a state of confusion and even intimidate common veterans.
However, compared to Kieran, it was nothing.
Chosen Ones were born with powerful Spirit, plus the rampant and overbearing Devil Bloodline, even if they ran into another high-ranker, as long as it wasn't a player that was skilled in Spirit, they would have the upper hand.
Roar!
A heavy and powerful devil's roar echoed in Mark and Karles' ears.
The heavy aura that was as heavy as a mountain was crushed by the devil's punch, Mark, who was sitting straight, slightly wobbled.
The sharp aura was crushed by the devil, Karles' body softened even more as if he was going to sink into the sofa.
The devil's aura flashed for a second.
Under Mark and Karles' astonished gaze, Kieran nodded slightly and sat down on one of the sofas.
Then, Kieran ignored the astonished and probing gazes from the two of them and turned his attention to Wu, who was wrapped in a mantle.
Friends in real life?
Heavenly Chosen One?
Kieran squinted his eyes.
He knew what Rachel did in real life.
Being able to be friends with Rachel, the player named Wu must have something outstanding about him.
Even more so, Wu didn't even flinch under his devil's aura.
Both of them together made Kieran take an extra glance at Wu.
But that was it. She wasn't an enemy and with Rachel as the introducer, Kieran's character and upbringing wouldn't allow him to spy on others.
Likewise, don't expect Kieran to liven up the atmosphere.
It was impossible.
Especially when facing strangers, vigilance and vigilance were Kieran's main point.
Even if it was someone Rachel introduced, it was the same.
Instantly, the atmosphere in the living room turned a little awkward.
As the owner of the venue, Rachel didn't have the slightest intention to step up. She crossed her arms and sat down, looking like she was watching a good show.
"Ahem, welcome."
The man named Mark, who looked like a professional soldier, cleared his throat and broke the silence.
"Welcome.
Can we start now? "
Karsi, who was lying limp on the sofa, answered lazily. His drawn-out tone was accompanied by a reverberating tremor, as if he was yawning.
However, Kieran's sharp senses told him that the seemingly lazy Mark was unusually anxious.
His eyes would also look at Wu from time to time.
"Okay."
This time, Wu wasn't unmoved anymore.
She said in a heavy, coarse voice.
The moment Wu's voice subsided, Karles, who was still lazy a moment ago, jumped up from the sofa and placed a screenshot of an item on the table.
[Name: Nightmare Lasso]
[Type: Accessory]
[Rarity: Legendary]
[Attack: Extreme]
[Attribute: 1. Nightmare Invasion; 2. Nightmare Imprisonment; 3. Nightmare Spirit]

…
"Wu, how is it?
Is it enough for your divination fee? "
Karles asked anxiously.
Divination?
Kieran looked at the tightly wrapped man beside him in astonishment. He didn't expect him to be an expert in divination.
His level was quite high as well.
A piece of Legendary equipment as payment was enough to explain everything.
Kieran wasn't a newbie anymore. With Pro level [Mystical Knowledge] and Basic level [Astrology], he knew how hard it was to level up a divination skill.
Even if he had a skill book, he would need a huge amount of Golden Skill Points to level it up.
"Not enough!"
Wu sized up the [Nightmare Lasso] carefully before answering.
"Plus this."
Karles obviously came prepared, he quickly posted another screenshot.
It was also a piece of Legendary equipment.
Wu also gave the same answer.
"Not enough!
And this! "
A third Legendary equipment screenshot popped up.
Kieran was speechless when he saw three pieces of Legendary equipment in a row.
Although he knew the high-rankers would trade in this kind of gathering, it was beyond the scope of common veterans, but when he saw the pieces of Legendary equipment popping up one after another, it still shocked Kieran.
One needed to know, this wasn't bartering.
It was the fee for a single divination.
"What kind of divination would have such a high fee?
Even if it has reached Transcendence, it shouldn't be this high! "
Divination and prophecy were all blurry.
Even for those who were the most skilled in divination, what they could "see" was blurry. Those who could "see" a few words or a certain scene were already a true grandmaster.
It was what Nikorei, the God of Earth, said.
Kieran deeply agreed with her.
Although it was the first time he met Karles and Mark, they weren't reckless people. Moreover, the familiar Rachel beside them acted like it was a matter of course, it undoubtedly proved that Wu's divination skills were extraordinary.
Unconsciously, Kieran looked at Wu.
This time, Wu didn't say it wasn't enough. Instead, she took out a stack of cards that were slightly bigger than poker cards, shuffled them and placed them on the small round table one by one.
There were a total of three rows, five cards in the first row, four in the second row and three in the third row, a total of 12 cards.
"Pick one."
Wu said.
Karles quickly picked the card in the middle of the first row.
Then, under Kieran's astonished gaze, Mark and Rachel each picked a card.
Mark picked the one on the right of Karles.
Rachel picked the one on the right of the second row.
"Everyone has to pick one?"
Kieran asked Rachel directly.
"Pick one."
Before Rachel could answer, Wu said again. However, Kieran didn't move, he was still looking at Rachel.
Wu was just a stranger and Kieran didn't trust strangers. After Rachel nodded, he picked the card closest to him — the one on the left of the third row.
"Flip your cards over and tell me what's on them?"
Wu continued.
"Garden."
Karles then eagerly looked at Kieran, Mark and Rachel.
"Mine."
Mark flipped the board and shrugged at Karles, the apologetic kind.
"Butcher's Knife."
Rachel shrugged her shoulders as well.
Then, all three of them looked at the cards that Kieran placed under his hand.
"Before I flip my cards, can you tell me some rules? At least let me know what role I am playing in this divination."
Kieran said in a calm and steady manner.
There were all sorts of methods for divination.
Some used images, some used Burn Bones and some used crystal balls.
Cards were considered one of the more traditional ones.
However, the cards before Kieran's eyes weren't any of the types that he was familiar with.
At least, he was sure that Pro level [Mystical Knowledge] didn't mention anything about Mine Cave or Butcher's Knife in card divination.
Although there were quite a number of 'gardens', they weren't what he knew either.
Plus the high fees from before, Kieran was even more curious about what method Wu was using.
"Wu gave me things and locations that are beneficial to me.
Just like this garden, it's what I need to pay attention to in the future. And 2567, you are playing the role of whether or not you can provide me with help.
At least something related to the garden, like some kind of plants, rain, nutrients, sunlight and so on.
When we face difficulties and need reliable help, we will choose this kind of method. Wu's divination isn't that kind of mysterious method, it's a direct result. My new dungeon is about to start but I'm not confident enough, so I hope to find a helper. "
Karles explained right away.
Rachel beside him nodded, proving that Karles wasn't lying.
A direct result?
Kieran frowned in his heart.
Such divination abilities were something even the God of Earth, Nikorei, couldn't achieve.
Although Wu wasn't a weakling, she was still quite a distance away from the God of Earth, Nikorei, who fought the real Gods.
Given the gap, Kieran couldn't help but doubt Wu's divination abilities.
However, with Karles around with his words, Kieran naturally turned his attention to the card on the table.
"Is this the card's effect?"
Kieran thought in his heart but on the outside, he didn't show any reaction, he raised his hand and opened the card.
Right away, the card appeared in everyone's sight.
Crows!
A flock of crows was flying around the graveyard.
Between the dark gaps, a blurry figure was faintly discernible.
Uneasy.
Strange.
Dead silence.
When Karles saw the never-before-seen card, he sat back down in disappointment.
With multiple experiences, even without Wu's explanation, Karles knew Kieran wasn't the one he was looking for.
"My luck is really bad!"
Karles muttered.
Mark beside him was comforting Karles.
Rachel, on the other hand, was looking at the dancing crows in a daze.
Wu was also in a daze.
A second later, Wu put away the card, shuffled it again and rearranged it.
"Draw again."
Wu said to Kieran.
"Huh?"
Kieran raised a brow.
"I don't mean any harm, I just want to confirm something.
And … "
"I can pay you."
Wu said in a heavy, hoarse voice.
"Pay?
Have you heard of the guardians of the Witch's Legacy? "
Kieran leaned his body inwards, making himself more comfortable on the sofa and asked.
