"What?
What did you say?
Leaf City and Many City also became your territory? "
Amid the cry of shock, Ren widened his eyes at Kieran, his face was filled with disbelief.
Ren knew about the battle that happened in Forest City.
That level of explosion and the fire in the night couldn't have escaped the eyes of an observant person but Ren never thought two Gods would fall in the battle.
The Gods of Leaf City and Many City weren't as famous as the God of Forest City and couldn't be mentioned in the same breath as Great Swamp but they were still Gods!
"H-How could they fall just like that?"
Ren's lips were twitching, his eyes couldn't help but stare blankly.
Kieran took a glance at Ren and quietly waited for him to digest the sudden news.
As for Ren's appearance?
In Kieran's point of view, it was very normal.
For the natives of the current dungeon world, the age of fiends' turmoil was long gone. They were enjoying the rare peace and even though the undercurrent was fierce, it had nothing to do with most of them. Therefore, the fall of a God was unbelievable, otherwise, Perforation Sting wouldn't have such a great reputation that people feared.
Even the members of the Funeral Society were just commoners who received training.
Maybe there were some differences.
But when facing a God, the differences were the same.
A few seconds later, Ren heaved a breath and regained his senses.
Ren's gaze at Kieran was filled with reverence and almost instinctively straightened his body, bowing again and saying, "Your Majesty."
The way he addressed Kieran didn't change.
The way he addressed Kieran had undergone a drastic change.
Being powerful could affect one's heart.
Just like how being weak was a mistake in a certain moment.
Three Gods in a row … No! Including the leader of Perforation Sting, Jin, a total of four Gods fell in Kieran's hands.
This kind of battle record was already shocking in this peaceful era.
It was also enough for Ren to know what kind of attitude he should face Kieran with.
"I will abide by the contract with Forest City."
"I've already sent Hayden Ao there. He's very capable and I believe he'll do a good job."
"Moreover, there will be people to assist him, so that he can complete his mission faster."
Kieran said faintly.
"Thank you for everything you've done for us."
Ren bowed again.
He did not object, even though he was curious who would be assisting Hayden Ow.
"I have a mission for you."
Kieran said.
"Please instruct me, Your Holiness."
Ren replied with a stern face but after hearing Kieran's order, his face started to twitch.
"You will be Tanya's personal guard for quite a long time from now on."
"Yes, yes?"
"Your Majesty Tanya?"
"I understand."
The thought of the divination made Ren uncomfortable, but in the end, he still gritted his teeth and agreed.
"Yes."
Kieran nodded, signaling Ren to leave.
Ren bowed once more before he stood up and left.
He didn't turn around right away, instead, he walked back slowly with his head lowered towards Kieran, only turning around when he reached the gate.
The whole process was very gentle, as though Kieran had fallen asleep and Ren was afraid of waking Kieran.
Kieran didn't comment on Ren's actions.
He wouldn't correct Ren's beliefs that were instilled in him since he was young.
Because it was simply too difficult.
Time itself was the scariest thing, what was scarier was the habit that was formed after days and months.
It would follow you for the rest of your life, even if something happened that would affect your life, it would rarely change.
Just like Kieran's vigilance and carefulness.
He knew what would happen in the coming days.
Even though the fall of the Gods of Leaf and Many City was enough to frighten most people, there would always be those who would take the risk.
They might fear his power.
But what about Tanya?
A girl who had just stepped into transcendence, had a hole in her brain and hadn't gone through any training, she was the perfect target.
So, Kieran had to find a reliable bodyguard for her.
Kana, the half-fiend, was naturally the first choice. However, considering her personality and strength, she was obviously inferior to the Fiend Exorcist 'Ren'.
Especially …
She had something she was concerned about!
Funeral Society was her concern. With such a concern, Kieran felt relieved to hand Tanya over to Ren, otherwise, he would be walking into a tiger's den.
Likewise, it was also the reason why Kieran didn't choose Rassho Temple.
Because in the entire Rassho Temple, Kieran was only familiar with the old monk.
If the old monk was willing to become Tanya's bodyguard, Kieran would raise both his hands in approval but other than the old monk?
Kieran maintained his doubtful attitude.
Hand her safety over to a stranger?
That would be suicidal.
In fact, even if it was someone he was familiar with, it would be extremely risky without restraining methods.
The human heart was ever-changing.
Even God couldn't read a person's heart.
Considering the help from before and the 3 Golden Attribute Points, Kieran wasn't willing to use Tanya as a test subject.
That's right!
It was the help from before and the 3 Golden Attribute Points.
Other than that, there was nothing else.
After all, in Kieran's eyes, Tanya was just a little better than someone he was familiar with.
As for friends?
Kieran shook his head.
Other than Lawless and Starbeck, Kieran couldn't acknowledge anyone else as his friend at the moment.
When he thought of his two best friends, Kieran unconsciously took out a cigar and headed to the dining hall of the temple.
As the owner of the temple, the dining hall that Kieran headed to wasn't the place where the banquet was held but the hall beside the courtyard of the temple.
The hall was filled with the God of Forest City's own style.
Luxurious gemstones and gold were scattered all over the place, the only difference was the starry sky above the courtyard was replaced by the rising sun. The rising sun formed by topaz and gold was very realistic under the contrast of the red gemstones, as though it was a precious realistic oil painting.
However, Kieran only took a glance at the decorations. After making sure the decorations were just common gold and gemstones, he lost interest right away.
To Kieran, such luxurious decorations weren't as attractive as the food before his eyes.
A long golden table was covered with a green and white tablecloth.
On top of the tablecloth were three pure silver plates.
On top of the plates were three dishes, one cold and two hot.
It was something that Kieran specifically ordered for the temple cook after he knew the God of Forest City had the habit of ordering hundreds of dishes during each meal.
There were more than a hundred dishes, and even Kieran could barely finish them with his current strength.
Kieran wouldn't waste food nor would he go against his body. Therefore, the frugal menu became the best choice for Kieran.
Of course, after the frugal menu, it would be the best of the best.
Especially after the temple cook cooked the dishes, the best of the best was left behind, no one would throw their signature dishes out of the menu.
So, when the plates were served, Kieran's attention was captured by the aroma of the food.
"Olives, roast goose, and … cheese?"
Kieran took a deep breath, his eyes looking forward to the food.
When the lid was lifted, the anticipation in his eyes felt like it had materialized.
The olives were crystal clear like grapes, standing up on the plate one after another.
The roast goose was glistening with oil, steam rising up from the plate.
The golden cheese was laid flat on the plate, it was the least eye-catching among the three dishes.
Kieran waved his hand, interrupting the temple chef's introduction, and picked up his chopsticks.
How could listening to others talk about it compare to tasting it himself?
The olives were put into his mouth, crunching noises followed as he chewed.
There wasn't any other taste, only the fragrance of the olives and a rich oily feeling.
"The olive kernels were crushed directly?"
Kieran looked at the seemingly undamaged olives in shock. Then, he picked up another olive and put it into his mouth. While enjoying the rich oily feeling, he reached for the roast goose with his chopsticks.
When the chopsticks touched the roast goose, Kieran was stunned.
It wasn't the feeling of meat.
It should be …
Tofu skin?
The taste proved Kieran's guess. The roast goose's skin was made of tofu skin and the meat was made of mushrooms.
"The olive oil was tempered by vegetarian cooking?"
At first, Kieran was worried that the combination of the oil from the roast goose and the olive oil would make him feel greasy, but he didn't feel that at all.
All he felt was the fragrance of beans and mushrooms.
But, it was still lacking!
Kieran looked at the cheese laid flat on the plate and moved his chopsticks.
Just as Kieran expected, there was something hidden under the cheese. He slightly lifted the layer and a stream of hot air with the aroma of meat assaulted his face.
"This is …"
"A mixture of beef and pork stuffing?"
The astonishment in Kieran's heart made him move his chopsticks even faster.
When the meat stuffing with cheese entered his mouth, Kieran squinted his eyes in satisfaction.
With the appearance of the meat, the little bit that was lacking previously was made up for at this moment.
No!
No, it should be filled up!
To put it more accurately, the original taste of the food had reached a certain level of sublimation, making people involuntarily want to eat more.
When it came to food, Kieran followed his instinct.
Even without Gluttony's unusual encouragement, Kieran's chopsticks moved so fast that they left afterimages behind, the chewing noises were endless.
In less than two minutes, all three dishes were finished.
The Divine Temple chefs and waiters at the side watched all this with their mouths agape.
"Not bad.
Give me three more servings according to this portion. "
Kieran nodded in satisfaction.
Following the order, the cooks and waiters moved out right away.
Kieran was waiting for the answer with anticipation.
However, a series of footsteps interrupted Kieran's anticipation.
Following the waiters' lead, Mou, who was also wearing a black trench coat, walked in from the door.
"Your Majesty."
The tall and boorish Fiend Exorcist bowed respectfully.
Then, when the Fiend Exorcist looked up, he saw Kieran's slightly infuriated expression.
Exorcist was stunned.
What happened?
What did I do?
