Great Swamp's face was the same as what Kieran remembered, his voice was the same, even his mannerisms were the same, but Kieran instinctively felt something wasn't right.
Kieran quietly sensed Great Swamp's presence.
The same!
It was the same as what he remembered!
"Am I being paranoid?"
Kieran asked in his heart.
However, the news that came from Footer made Kieran squint his eyes.
"Such a thing actually happened …"
"This is abnormal!
This is too abnormal! "
Kieran looked at the leisurely Great Swamp in front of him.
If he was doubtful before, after getting the news, Kieran's doubts had turned into some sort of deduction.
He believed in Footer's loyalty.
So, he believed in the news from Footer.
Based on the news from Footer, Great Swamp shouldn't be this leisurely.
Unless …
The doubts made Kieran re-evaluate Great Swamp before him, but there weren't any more doubts.
It was inevitable!
Kieran had only met Great Swamp a few times.
Although they had a close working relationship, they didn't have any close contact.
Given the circumstances, Kieran decided to act according to the situation.
He maintained his original appearance, and after finishing the breakfast that was served, he asked, "When are we leaving?"
"Right away.
Do you know the second reason why I chose this place?
It's very close to our destination. "
Great Swamp finished the last bit of milk in his glass, took out a note from his pocket and placed it under the glass. He waved at the waiter cum cook further away and walked out the door.
Kieran stood up and followed.
Just like what Great Swamp said, the place was very close to their destination. Both of them walked like they were taking a stroll and it took them less than 10 minutes to reach their destination.
The whole journey was from one side of the street to the other side of the alleyway.
Kieran glanced over the alleyway before him and soon, his attention was captivated by the rusty, abandoned short door at the end.
Although it was blocked by trash cans and the rusted door, Kieran's SSS + Intuition allowed him to clearly pick up the breathing sounds behind the door.
It was light and intermittent. To an ordinary person, it was almost inaudible.
Without seeing it with his own eyes, Kieran could picture a person taking a deep breath, exhaling several times, and then taking another deep breath in his mind.
This kind of technique was not difficult. Many people who were good at stealth and hiding their tracks could do it, but there were not many who could reach the level of the person behind the door.
According to the skill level, it was at least close to the Master level.
Kieran looked at Great Swamp.
The man smiled as he walked forward.
When Kieran was a few meters away from the short door, it was opened from the inside. A man with tied hair walked out and the way he was dressed reminded Kieran of the first time he met Great Swamp. The man was the one who led the way for Kieran when he first met Great Swamp.
"Your Holiness."
After greeting Great Swamp, the man bowed at Kieran.
The whole process was meticulous and looked very rigid.
"What happened before made me realize how careless I was. So, Woo is now the person in charge of this place.
His seriousness and strength are enough to ensure the safety of this place. "
Great Swamp praised his men as he walked through the door.
Kieran was a step behind, glancing at the expressionless Woo before he walked further in — in a very careful and vigilant manner.
The information he just received was enough for Kieran to understand that the whole situation had gone through unexpected changes.
If he didn't want to lose his life, he would have to keep his eyes open at all times.
Kieran would never underestimate any danger.
Especially when an unknown enemy appeared.
Under Kieran's vigilance, the group went through the narrow corridor and went down thousands of stairs. When they reached the end, a stone door with carvings that looked like a dragon and a snake appeared before Kieran's eyes.
Under the light from the lantern, the carvings that looked like a dragon and a snake came alive in Kieran's eyes, swimming around and hissing loudly.
Waves of aura that was connected to the earth gushed towards Kieran like a rising tide following the hissing and hissing loudly, but it didn't really hurt Kieran, all it did was graze him.
However, the power contained within it was still incomparably shocking.
"This is a ley line node?"
Kieran had never seen a ley line node before but he had heard some descriptions from Great Swamp before and it was enough for him to have some guesses.
"Mm.
"Our destination is within it!"
Great Swamp nodded.
"Inside?
It's a building with space? "
Kieran said in shock.
His shock wasn't faked, it was real shock.
Based on Kieran's initial impression, a ley line node was just a point, similar to a solid object, like a crystal ball or something.
"Follow me!"
Great Swamp smiled mysteriously and walked towards the stone door. He raised his hand and pushed the door open.
There weren't any changes, it was like pushing open the door of a normal house. The carvings that looked like a dragon and a snake were still moving around as if they weren't affected at all.
"Illusions?!
No, no, it's not an illusion!
This kind of power really exists! "
When the thought popped up in his mind, Kieran shook his head. It wasn't that illusions that could fool his senses and spirit didn't exist, but if it could really fool his senses and spirit, Great Swamp wouldn't even need to set up so many traps to lure him into the trap, a single illusion would be enough to trap him in.
Or was there some other goal?
Guesses kept popping up in Kieran's heart.
Then, he looked at Great Swamp.
"The reason why I can open this door so easily is because of my bloodline.
"It recognizes my bloodline."
After all, from a certain aspect, this place is considered the inheritance that my father left for me.
Next … "
"Open your eyes wide, we are going to witness a miracle!"
Great Swamp paused for a while when he mentioned his father, then diverted the topic.
"Bloodline?
Miracle? "
When he heard the term, Kieran nodded quietly.
However, he raised his vigilance to the highest level.
Kieran didn't believe a single word that Great Swamp said.
However, the scene that followed still shocked Kieran who was prepared for it.
A city!
It was a huge city.
After going through the door, Kieran stood on a floating platform and looked down at the city beneath his feet.
Rows of old houses lined up neatly and the streets were orderly.
The most shocking thing was the size of the city!
It could fit a hundred thousand people!
Kieran could totally imagine how lively the city must have been in the past.
"Surprised, right?
The first time I saw this city, I was very surprised as well.
Although my father is a bastard, his capabilities are undeniable. Back in the era of fiends, he was able to build a city like this.
Do you see that wall over there?
Even with the current technology and manpower, to build a wall of this height and width would be extremely difficult. "
Great Swamp's exclamation sounded in Kieran's ears.
Great Swamp's face showed admiration but there were more complicated emotions on his face.
Kieran didn't ask further, all he did was listen to Great Swamp continue, "Our target is the castellan mansion in this city, there …"
However, before Great Swamp could finish, the seemingly sturdy platform beneath his feet crumbled just like that.
Without any signs, it disintegrated in an instant.
