Kieran wouldn't tell Mou the reason for his visit.
Unlike Ren, who he had a slight relationship with, Kieran and Mou were destined to be superior and subordinate.
Likewise, Kieran knew Mou must have something important for him to appear here, otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to meet him.
So, Kieran asked directly.
"What is it?"
Kieran's voice had obvious impatience, it made Mou, who was already trembling in fear, more anxious. He quickly took out a small box from his pocket.
The box was made of wood and was only half the size of a palm.
"His Majesty Ai Little sent an item through the Funeral Society's secret channel, he said he must hand it to you personally."
Mou took the box and raised it high above his head.
"Great Swamp?"
Kieran was stunned but he didn't stand up, he was still sitting at the dining table and waved his hand.
[Great Remnant Eye, Repel] was activated.
The small box flew into Kieran's hand right away.
The box was fine.
It wasn't locked either.
However, Kieran was sure no one would want to open the item of a God.
No one would know what was inside the box.
More precisely, no one knew if there were any other security measures in the box.
But in fact?
It was just a normal box, there was no magical presence, no mystical runes, and no mechanisms.
There was nothing valuable inside the box either.
There was only a piece of paper.
Kieran picked up the piece of paper. On it was written —
Tel: 338822271
"…"
Kieran went silent.
Then, he threw the piece of paper on the table heavily.
'Is this a phone number?
Why the f * ck is this a phone number? '
…
The bedroom of the God of Forest City in the temple had been cleaned up. After dinner, Kieran picked up the phone that the servant brought him with a calmer mood.
In this bedroom, or even in the entire temple, technological items were extremely rare.
The God of Forest City belonged to the stubborn faction, he disdained technology but technology was unknowingly changing his city.
At the very least, there was electricity in the temple.
According to the number on the note, Kieran dialed the number.
After a short wait, Great Swamp's voice came from the receiver.
"Hi, 2567, good evening."
"Hey, Great Swamp."
"I didn't expect gods to know how to use phones."
"Can you video chat?"
"I think we can start a video call next time."
Kieran said faintly, but there was an indescribable complexity in his words.
"Video?"
"The people in the Scientific Research Department are experimenting, but the signal is not very stable. It's not as clear as the communication technique. However, I think it will be put to use soon. When the time comes, I'll send you a video communicator."
"Oh right!"
"The people in the Scientific Research Department are still working on it …"
Great Swamp did not notice the complicated feelings in Kieran's heart at the moment. Instead, he spoke excitedly and only stopped when he noticed Kieran's silence.
“2567？”
“2567？”
"Hello? Hello? "
Great Swamp asked repeatedly. Then, a tapping sound came.
"Your phone isn't broken."
Kieran said.
"That's great!
I thought my phone was broken again. Every time I call someone, there's always an error in the middle … "
Another long description. If it wasn't for the different voices, Kieran would have thought he was talking to his friend, Lawless.
Besides, Kieran noticed Great Swamp was in a completely different state when he picked up the phone. He wasn't as mature and steady as usual.
The only fortunate thing was, Kieran was very good at dealing with chatterboxes.
"What's the matter?"
"If not, I'm hanging up."
Kieran said directly.
Besides that, he was kind enough to not explain to Great Swamp how most people would react when they received a call from a stranger, especially the correct way to deal with a 'psycho' or 'liar' who claimed to be a God.
"Yes!
You killed the two bastards from Leaf City and Many City, right? "
Great Swamp brought the topic back to the main topic as though he had not had enough of it.
"Mm."
Kieran nodded.
After Hayden Ow went to Leaf City and Many City, he needed Great Swamp's help, so Kieran wouldn't lie through his teeth.
"Well done.
"But have you thought about what will happen next?"
Great Swamp's tone showed a sense of smile.
"A guy who slaughtered a god and obtained the power of a god occupying a city is enough to attract a lot of attention. Not to mention, he occupied three cities, and each city represents a so-called power."
It will surely be a test, followed by a group attack, right? "
Kieran replied with a rhetorical question.
"Mm, something like that.
But things can still turn around, like … "
Great Swamp unconsciously prolonged his tone, but with a friend like Lawless, Kieran wouldn't fall for it, so he quickly kept quiet.
The prolonged intonation lasted for a few seconds before Great Swamp subconsciously stopped when he didn't get a reply. Then, he fell into an unknown silence.
Throughout the silence, Kieran still didn't say anything.
Therefore, the unknown silence added an extra layer of awkwardness to the atmosphere.
Of course, the awkwardness was only for Great Swamp.
As for Kieran?
He was used to it.
"For example, you and I forming an alliance!
It's no longer a contract, but an alliance — you and I look at each other from head to tail, a brotherhood pact that relies on each other! "
Two seconds later, Great Swamp opened his mouth.
The God acted like he didn't experience the awkwardness from before, continuing the topic.
Since Great Swamp didn't mention it, Kieran wouldn't either.
However, Kieran had doubts about the brotherhood pact that Great Swamp mentioned.
It wasn't that he doubted Great Swamp's intentions.
With that special contract in place, in the current dungeon world, Great Swamp was the existence that made Kieran the most at ease.
However, forming an alliance with Great Swamp would go against Kieran's future plans.
He didn't need any intimidation to make the envious and restless fellows around him give up their banners and cease their drums.
What he wanted was for these bastards to come at him boldly.
No one would complain about having too much good nourishment, right?
"An alliance is fine.
But it can't be announced. "
After some thought, Kieran said.
"You little bastard, you better be careful.
Those bastards from Leaf City and Many City are just small shrimps and they have left their cities, but some bastards are different. "
Great Swamp immediately guessed what Kieran was trying to do, so he quickly reminded him.
"Different?
"Compared to you?"
"Not the current you, but the you after you complete the contract with me."
Kieran asked.
"Me at that time?
How could they compare to me at that time?
It's completely different. "
Great Swamp laughed lightly.
His laughter was filled with disdain towards those bastards.
Even though those bastards were Gods in the eyes of commoners.
"Then what are we waiting for?
When are you going to complete your contract? "
Kieran asked with a smile on his face.
"Of course, the sooner the better."
