[Note 2: Player's performance includes but is not limited to battles]
…
"Urgent auction?"
Kieran muttered to himself before shaking his head.
The time might be short but the preparation wasn't.
In fact, the moment he stepped into this dungeon world, he had been preparing for it. The "partnership" auction with Zackary was also because of the right timing.
In simple words, even without Zackary, Kieran had his own plan against Perforation Sting.
But now?
However, it made the plan more direct, and it also pulled in more 'participants'.
Kieran wasn't surprised about the "entrant", the God of Forest City.
Between the Gods of the same city, they would fight openly and covertly due to different standpoints, let alone between different cities.
Fights were inevitable.
Even though they appeared to be peaceful on the surface.
"The God of Forest City …"
Kieran tapped the handle of the chair softly while thinking about the "entrant".
Regarding the God of Forest City, Kieran didn't know much but it didn't stop Kieran from understanding the God of Forest City.
Besides …
Kieran had a very suitable candidate for the job.
…
Mountain Foot Street, inside a secluded public courtyard somewhere, Kieran who had reverted back to his original appearance was sitting on a black bench with Oaker, waiting patiently.
Unlike the other public areas of Flame City which were overcrowded with people, Mountain Foot Street was a place where the wealthy gathered. The people were more used to staying in their own courtyards and enjoying their privacy instead of coming to the public area and exposing themselves to others, despite the fact that other than the patrolling officers, there was almost no one around.
Two groups of patrolling officers passed by the public courtyard and glanced over Kieran with a strange gaze.
However, with Oaker around, none of them stepped forward to question him.
As the oldest inspector in Flame City, Oaker might not have too much power but he had an unimaginable reputation.
At least, most of the young officers knew about the inspector with such a special identity.
"It's been an hour!"
"Do you really want to continue waiting?"
The inspector asked with a frown.
"Did you deliver my letter?"
Kieran asked.
"Yes, but …"
"Believe me, Great Swamp is much more approachable than you think. He might be a little lax towards the whole city, but he won't ignore the visitors."
Oaker's explanation was interrupted by Kieran with a smile.
Looking at the smile on Kieran's face, Oaker really wanted to tell Kieran about how overbearing the gatekeeper of the manor was but in the end, Oaker frowned again and didn't say anything else.
Oaker knew how lacking his understanding of the other world was.
Given such circumstances, Oaker wouldn't make any rash comments about it.
Even if he had doubts in his heart.
Therefore, when the sudden voice sounded from behind him, Oaker was shocked.
"2567, you know me better than I thought."
"Huh?!"
Oaker wanted to draw his gun out of instinct but when he noticed Kieran was sitting there without moving, Oaker couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Do existences like you all like to scare people?"
It was 2567 who appeared in my office out of nowhere and asked me to deliver a letter.
Now, it's Little Ai and you … "
"Please, I'm not at the age where I can joke around."
Oaker said but he was looking at Great Swamp who walked out from a corner of the courtyard with astonishment.
It seemed like Oaker was astonished by Great Swamp's age.
More importantly, Oaker was astonished by Great Swamp and Kieran's similar temperament and the same eye color.
Black!
Mysterious and deep.
When it was placed on Kieran and Great Swamp, it gave off an unusual feeling.
It felt like …
It could attract one's soul.
Oaker spent quite a bit of effort to move his gaze away from Great Swamp.
"I'm sorry.
I didn't mean it. "
Following the polite words, Great Swamp instantly turned normal, like a passerby that walked past on the street.
The changes didn't surprise Oaker at all.
Recently, Oaker had witnessed too many shocking changes and he was used to it.
Therefore, he knew there were some things he could participate in and some things he couldn't.
"I'll wait for you guys over there."
Before Kieran even said anything, Oaker went straight to the corner of the courtyard and lit up a cigarette, not caring about what would happen next.
"Not a bad person."
Great Swamp praised the tactful Inspector Oaker.
"That's because you didn't touch his bottom line!
Otherwise, even if he was facing you, Great Swamp, the God of Flame City, he would have the courage to draw his gun. "
Kieran wasn't stingy with his compliments as well.
"He is protecting Flame City, isn't he?"
Great Swamp laughed.
"Yeah, he is protecting Flame City."
"What about you?"
Kieran asked.
"Flame City and I have become one, of course I will protect it."
Great Swamp replied.
"I know you have become one with Flame City.
But I didn't feel the protection that you mentioned.
You have the power to change everything yet you let it be. I'm sorry, I'm not a God, I don't understand how a God thinks but at least … "
"It's far from what I imagined."
Kieran continued.
"So you didn't visit me personally but sent Oaker to test me?"
"Did I say that before?"
"If I didn't know it was impossible, I would have thought I would have a brother."
"Cautious, suspicious, yet trusting others."
"Your personality and your bloodline are similar to mine but we are still different. My way of doing things might seem inconceivable to you but to me, it's the most appropriate."
"After all, I am not alone."
Great Swamp took in a deep breath and said slowly.
Kieran looked at Great Swamp.
After a few seconds, Kieran shook his head.
He didn't see anything.
But he knew Great Swamp was hiding something.
Though, Kieran wasn't angry.
Just like what Great Swamp said.
Both of them were vigilant and suspicious.
They would always hold back their true thoughts no matter what.
However, the holding back wouldn't affect other things.
"Working together?"
Kieran asked.
"Isn't it obvious enough that I am here?"
Great Swamp replied with a question.
Then, both of them smiled at each other and spoke at the same time.
