When Kieran had confirmed that [Prison on the Island] and [The Shaman's Partner] were in the same world, he had known that what had happened in Alcatraz would cause an uproar.
Hundreds of prisoners had died, and almost a hundred prison guards had died.
Even though the former had deserved to die, the latter was enough to attract everyone's attention.
However, during his investigation that afternoon, Kieran had not found any news about Alcatraz Prison.
It seemed like the news about Alcatraz Prison had been suppressed by someone or something.
It was both good and bad news for Kieran.
The good news was that he did not have to worry about more people or forces getting involved.
The bad news was that he would have to compete with the professionals stationed on Alcatraz Island for the right to explore the bronze coffin.
Who were the professionals?
Kieran raised his head and looked at the old woman behind the desk.
Her question was straightforward. Maybe it was her personality, but in Kieran's eyes, it was full of questions.
"It's not what you think!
I have nothing to do with the people already stationed on Alcatraz Island or those who want to be stationed there.
I'm just asking out of curiosity! "
Nikorei explained when she saw Kieran's gaze.
Kieran could not believe what she was saying though.
There were too many things that did not make sense.
The simplest explanation was that if there was nothing to do with Kieran, why would she know so much about what had happened in Alcatraz Prison?
Those who had already been stationed on Alcatraz Island and discovered the bronze coffin would not have revealed the information, even if it was just to reduce the number of competitors.
"You paranoid little fella!
I'm the most powerful shaman on the West Coast!
If I want to investigate something, only a few people can hide from me. Very few people can block my eyes … Of course, you and your companions who disappeared don't count! "
You guys are really good at hiding. If you hadn't left your mark in the city library, I wouldn't have been able to find anyone! " The old woman sighed.
She looked at Kieran curiously. She looked at Kieran with an extra sense of curiosity.
Kieran remained silent.
He knew too little about this dungeon world.
Apart from the Alcatraz Prison, he only knew a little about the city in front of him.
As for his title as the most powerful shaman on the West Coast?
I'm sorry he didn't get any information.
Of course, the 'coincidentally appearing in the city's independent library' was the system's arrangement.
"Alright! Alright! "
"Paranoid and stubborn little fellow, it seems that it will be very difficult for me to get detailed information from your mouth. Satisfy my curiosity!"
"However, since you've been my assistant before, I'm sure you'll understand. Even if it's only for a few minutes, I will guarantee your safety! "
"Catch!"
"If you leave this place, it can save your life at a crucial moment!"
After saying that, the old woman threw a round silver plate no more than five centimeters in diameter to Kieran.
[Name: Mark of Nikorei]
[Type: ETC]
[Rarity: Excellent]
[Attributes: None]
Prerequisites: None
[Able to bring out of the dungeon: No]
[Remarks: The owner of this represents Nikorei the shaman. When you run into some trouble in this dungeon world, it will be of great use!]
...
The system description appeared in Kieran's vision.
Kieran rubbed the runes on the plate with his thumb. In common language, the runes were the old woman's name, Nikorei.
He looked at the silver plate in his hand. Kieran carefully recalled the way she had treated him when they first met and the setup of the test.
She had not shown any malicious intent.
However, Kieran could not rule out the possibility that it was a disguise.
It did not matter if she was just curious or if she had some ulterior motive.
Kieran would not leave.
After thinking about it for a while. Kieran understood what the key point of this dungeon was.
Nikorei the shaman's protection!
As long as he had her protection, he would be able to clear this second dungeon without any danger.
Although such protection conflicted with his goal of completing his Sub Missions and Title Missions as much as possible, it fit his Main Mission [Be the shaman's assistant for three months].
The situation before him was clear. If he left now, he would fail.
It was something Kieran did not want to accept.
Even if he had to leave, he had to be Nikorei's assistant.
After some thought, Kieran said, "I won't leave.
Even if I have your mark, it's not as safe as staying by your side! Even with your imprint, it's far safer than staying by your side! "
Even if I have your mark, it's not as safe as staying by your side! In exchange for your protection, I'll tell you everything that happened to me in Alcatraz! "
Kieran looked at the old woman. He was waiting for her answer.
"Smart little fella!"
Nikorei smiled and changed her position with Tiki in her arms. Obviously, she was ready to listen to Kieran's story in detail.
"Gilfren Hatch is the culprit!"
Kieran started his story.
He tried his best to give up his subjective judgment and explain what had happened in Alcatraz in an objective way.
Kieran told Kieran everything from the poisoning incident to Gilfren Hatch's body falling to the ground and melting into a ball of dark red liquid that flew into the bronze coffin in the air. Kieran told Kieran everything.
Of course, Kieran had left out some important details.
For example, the "ancestral gift" that Gilfren Hatch had mentioned.
"Come back from the dead?"
Nikorei did not express her opinion immediately after Kieran had finished. Instead, she muttered to herself.
Kieran could clearly see that Nikorei's kind face had turned serious as she muttered to herself.
About ten seconds later, Nikorei sighed.
"It's worse than what I saw!
2567, you've told me something important. It's more than enough to satisfy my curiosity, and you're willing to be my assistant!
"So, in exchange, that's right, in exchange, I will try my best to teach you about mysticism in the coming period of time!"
Now, you can go up to the second floor and choose your room! "
Nikorei was not used to Kieran's way of saying things. She had to try a few times before she managed to express what she wanted to say.
Following Nikorei's words, Kieran's Main Mission had changed.
[Main Mission: Be the shaman's assistant for three months, 0/90 days]
A time notification had popped up after the mission.
Kieran took a quick glance at the time notification. He did not leave like Nikorei had told him to.
Instead, he asked Nikorei a question that had been bothering him for a long time.
"Who are the people and forces that are stationed on Alcatraz Island and those that want to enter?
More precisely, who are the people and forces that are hostile to me? "
Kieran asked.
Even though the bronze coffin was much more complicated than he had imagined, Kieran did not want to give up so easily.
He needed to know more.
The old lady in front of him was obviously a very good target for him to investigate.
"The force stationed on Alcatraz Island is the Dark Star Society. It's not a good or bad organization, but it has its own rules and acts according to them.
The forces that want to enter Alcatraz Island are different. The Night Demon Society is an organization that will do anything to achieve their goals.
As for your enemies?
There are some small fries, but the main one is the Hatch Heresy! "
Nikorei replied.
"Hatch Heresy Cult?"
"Isn't Gilfren Hatch dead?"
Kieran was stunned and asked instinctively.
"But the Hatch Heresy is still around, and there's another ambitious bastard who's trying to take revenge for Gilfren Hatch. He's trying to unite the entire Hatch Heresy!
Don't doubt it. You're his target! "
Nikorei said in an affirmative tone.
"Who is he?"
Kieran frowned.
"Fenkes!"
Nikorei uttered a name.
"What?"
Kieran was shocked. "Is it the Fenkes I know?" he asked.
"That's right, it's the Fenkes you know!"
Nikorei gave an affirmative answer when she saw Kieran's surprise.
Kieran furrowed his brows.
