"What do you think of the Gods?
"The Gods of Naveya."
Kieran didn't answer directly, instead, he replied with a question.
However, after the words escaped his mouth, he emphasized Naveya again.
"Holy, powerful.
And … "
"Open and secret strife!"
After Atrina said the answer that everyone knew, she added another sentence in a soft voice.
Even though she couldn't contact the Gods of Naveya anymore, the habits that were formed for a long time couldn't be changed.
In fact, if the person in front of her wasn't Kieran, Atrina wouldn't have said anything disrespectful to the Gods.
After the words were spoken, Thorn Temple's priestess seemed to realize something.
"You are saying?"
"Yes.
It's very possible, and everything that is happening now might very well be according to that person's plan. "
Kieran nodded.
"But it doesn't make sense!
There's no reason to destroy the whole of Naveya!
That's Naveya we're talking about, a city that houses 25 temples! "
Atrina shook her head in confusion.
"Maybe that person thinks 25 is too much?
They are like humans, they will fight openly and secretly.
Then … "
"What's wrong with giving birth to some greedy humans?"
Kieran looked at Atrina with a smile.
It seemed like such an answer was hard for Atrina, a native, to accept in a short period of time.
It was true that she was smart and ambitious.
But her intelligence and ambition were all within a certain framework and never exceeded it. Once it did, it would be hard for her to accept it.
But in her heart, Atrina believed what Kieran said was true.
With that thought as the foundation, Atrina quickly had a new guess.
"Do you think it's possible that everything that happened has exceeded that person's expectations?
He arranged everything, planned everything, yet something went wrong at the crucial moment?
So much so that he ended up like this? "
Atrina supported her chin with one of her hands and pondered.
"It's possible.
But the possibility isn't that high. "
Kieran rejected Atrina's idea.
Although Kieran really hoped that this was the truth, if that was the case, his next plan would be much easier to carry out. However, Kieran's rationality told him that this was almost impossible.
Kieran said seriously under Atrina's gaze.
As the Main God of Naveya, if something unexpected happened to him, he wouldn't be so calm at the last moment.
"Have you seen a dead body belonging to a member of the Temple of Thunder?"
"Or did you notice something strange in the Temple of Thunder during those days?"
"No!"
"Everything is proceeding as per normal."
"But at the last moment, it disappeared without a trace."
"If this isn't a plan, I can't imagine what could be. After all, even if the Devourer wanted to kill that person, it wouldn't be possible for him to do it quietly."
As he spoke, Kieran looked at the door.
Atrina wisely stopped her questions. She took the pillow from the bed and placed it behind Kieran and covered Kieran's legs with the blanket.
Kieran cooperated and showed a tired face.
After everything was done, someone knocked on the door.
Dok Dok Dok!
After a rhythmic knock on the door and getting Kieran's approval, the man pushed the door open and entered.
It was a middle-aged man in full armor. His beard was shaved off, revealing his thick hair. His brown eyes were bright and spirited, and his nose was tall. On his left cheek, there was a scar from a long time ago that ran across his entire face.
"Captain Knight!"
After the middle-aged man saw Kieran, he bowed without a second thought.
On his face and in his eyes, there was reverence that was as hot as the sun.
Nelson, who came from Thorn Temple, had heard of the man before him like a thunderclap. The man was once the King of Killers, then the Godslayer, and now the Hero. He couldn't imagine how a person could achieve what the man before him had achieved.
But it was precisely because of this that Nelson admired this man who looked much younger than him even more.
Of course, it was also because the man before him was also from Thorn Temple.
On top of that …
He used to be the archpriest.
Nelson believed that if it wasn't for the Devourer, he would only have the chance to meet the archpriest of Thorn Temple in Naveya City after his three-year rotation was up. Only then would he return to Thorn Temple, the archpriest who would surely lead Thorn Temple to its peak.
All the believers of Thorn Temple in Arya Outpost shared the same thought.
They were also looking forward to it.
If the Devourer didn't show up.
Whenever the thought of the Devourer appeared, Nelson, who had a firm belief, was filled with hatred. However, because of the hatred, he admired the man before him even more.
Nelson knew without the man before him, the situation would only get worse.
Look at the tired face of the man before him!
He must have been fighting the moment the Devourer appeared.
It was unimaginable for a mortal to join a God's battle.
Whether it was strength or courage.
Especially the latter, it made Nelson, the Knight of Thorn Temple, admire the man even more, to the point that the passion in his eyes was a few times hotter.
"Nelson?"
Kieran asked.
"It's me, Lord Knight."
The outpost chief looked at Kieran in surprise when his name was called out.
He never thought Kieran would know him.
He was once the archpriest of Thorn Temple. Although most of the time, Kieran didn't manage the affairs of Thorn Temple, it didn't mean Kieran didn't understand the structure of Thorn Temple, especially other than the archpriest, officiant, and the high ranking Knight. It was an isolated faction.
Arya Outpost was under the jurisdiction of 25 temples in Naveya.
However, they did not manage all of them at the same time. Instead, they rotated. Every three years, starting from the Lightning God Temple, every Divine Temple was no exception. There would be a major rotation every seventy-five years.
This time, it was Thorn Temple's turn.
It was natural that the Outpost Chief that was selected might not be the strongest but he was the most loyal to Thorn Temple.
Nelson was one of them.
Kieran went through Nelson's information and summed it up in one sentence: a zealot with the spirit of the Knight.
Justice, mercy, courage, and all sorts of other spirit of the Knight could only be found in Thorn Temple, which viewed fate as a form of training. It was unimaginable in other temples.
For example, Interrogator Temple.
Therefore, from a certain aspect, Lady Thorn was very magnanimous.
It made her believers love her even more.
It also made those who hated her hate her even more.
Without a doubt, the same kind of love also appeared on Kieran.
"I've prepared the food.
It might not be as tasty as you think, but it's enough.
Is there anything else you want me to do? "
Nelson asked.
"Nope.
As long as the food is fast enough. "
Kieran said with a smile.
Nelson and his soldiers sprinted forward with unprecedented speed after receiving Kieran's order.
Big chunks of roasted meat and bread were carried out.
Simple and plain.
It fit the military camp perfectly.
Kieran showed a smile when he smelled the roasted meat.
He ate the food in front of him at an astonishing speed. Everyone was astonished by his appetite because it was enough to feed five people.
"Everything about you is amazing!"
Nelson exclaimed.
"I can't help myself when it comes to the beauty of food.
Nelson, I want to rest for a while, don't disturb me if there's nothing important. "
Kieran smiled and gave his order.
"Understood, Chief Knight."
Carrying the empty plates with his men, Nelson left the room, together with Atrina. They didn't seem to be reluctant to leave the room.
She knew this man had a plan.
From the moment he appeared on the battlefield in broad daylight, she already had her guesses.
The door was closed softly.
Kieran took a step back and blended into the shadows.
Then …
Another 'Kieran' appeared.
