Morinton Trail, No.17.
It was a three-storey building with a slanted wooden roof. The first floor under the eaves had a round window, and the next two floors were in the shape of the word 'tian'.
The walls of the building were made from a mixture of wood and brick.
The wood had a unique smell in the rain. Kieran raised his head and looked at the blurry door sign. He walked up and knocked on the door softly.
After getting permission to enter, Kieran pushed the door open.
A fireplace appeared in front of the door. The fire inside was filled with firewood, burning fiercely. It swiftly expelled the cold air from Kieran's feathered mantle.
Ickart was standing beside the fireplace.
The man looked at Kieran without saying a word, not inviting Kieran into the house.
Beside the man was a tall lady in a black leather coat. The tight coat made her chest look bigger and her legs slender, especially when she crossed her arms in front of her chest and leaned against the wall. The beauty of her body was on full display.
"Welcome, Hon. 2567.
I'm Bella, it's an honor to meet you. "
The lady straightened her body and extended her hand.
Kieran looked down at the outstretched hand, but he didn't extend it.
Some manners weren't common in the big city.
It wasn't because of arrogance.
It was because of caution.
One had no idea what kind of abilities the player in front of them possessed.
Bella didn't get angry at Kieran's reaction. Instead, she subtly pointed her hand to the side and said, "Please come this way."
"I'm sorry, this is just a temporary base of ours. Due to some reasons, we can't bring you to our main camp.
Please forgive us. "
The lady said politely and walked in front of Kieran, leading the way.
Right away, the part that was wrapped in the leather coat was revealed to Kieran. It was shaking up and down as the figure walked.
However, compared to the thing before him, Kieran was more concerned about the temporary base that the lady mentioned.
After entering the corridor along the fire pit, there was a door on each side.
The door on the left was closed, so Kieran couldn't see it.
The door on the right opened, revealing unwashed pots, bowls, and other kitchen utensils. There was no complete food.
After passing through the doors on both sides, the hall on the first floor of the house appeared in front of them.
There were three tables in each row, and there were six tables in total. Each table was surrounded by long chairs, and there were two braziers in the middle of the two rows of tables. The charcoal in the braziers was more vigorous than the ones in the firepit, making the temperature in the room warmer than when he entered the room.
"Please have a seat."
Bella turned around and pulled out a long bench for Kieran.
Without being courteous, Kieran sat down, while Bella sat on the opposite side of the table. Ickart walked to the other side without a word and sat down.
If it wasn't for the fact that it was breathing, it would be like a robot.
"I wanted to contact you a long time ago, but some rumors about you made me suspicious."
However, when Ickart told me about it, my doubts were dispelled.
"You are different from what the rumors say."
"So, I really hope that you can join the Resistance. After all, we have a common enemy, the Guardians!
Those maggots that survive by feeding on others! "
Bella extended an invitation to Kieran the moment she spoke.
Moreover, when she mentioned the 'Guardian', her tone was filled with resentment.
However, Bella stopped her words at the right time and didn't continue. She didn't even mention what the so-called feeding on others was, giving Kieran enough space to speculate.
In fact, after Kieran entered the room, Bella kept asking Kieran to guess.
From the subtle guidance in front of the fire pit to the kitchen door in the corridor and even the arrangement of the tables and chairs in the hall, Kieran was sure Bella had a mind of her own.
As for why she did it?
She might be testing Kieran's limits.
She might also be sending the wrong message, distracting Kieran with useless information.
She might even use herself to achieve her goal.
Kieran didn't believe Bella's outfit was her regular outfit.
The way she walked wasn't how she moved either.
Back in the Character Model Template Breaking dungeon world, Anne Aldrich Augen walked exactly like that. She was displaying her charm all the time.
Because that was the enemy's weapon.
Likewise, Bella before Kieran.
However, compared to Anne Aldrich Augen, she was a little lacking.
It wasn't natural enough and felt like she did it on purpose.
However, regardless of which, it wouldn't cause any trouble to Kieran.
He was good at dealing with such situations.
A faint pressure appeared in the room as Kieran's aura changed.
Bella, who had been moving with ease, couldn't help but lean back, her eyes showing unconcealable fear.
Because …
In her eyes, Kieran had already disappeared a long time ago.
All that was left was a gigantic pitch-black monster that filled her entire field of vision. Furthermore, that pitch-black monster was opening its mouth, preparing to devour her.
Bella held back her scream and quickly stood up, distancing herself from Kieran.
Then, there was the sound of heavy breathing.
Huuhaa, Huuhaa.
Every breath she took was exhausting all her strength, to the point that after a few breaths, Bella had to lean on the wall to stand on her feet.
"So this is your 'welcoming ceremony'?"
Kieran spoke for the first time.
He looked at Ickart and asked calmly. The pressure from his body grew heavier as he spoke.
An indistinct roar seemed to ring out from within the house.
"She made the decision on her own.
It has nothing to do with me.
She thought she could pull you into our side completely, "Ickart said honestly.
Ickart was being honest. A small bottle appeared in his hand and he placed it in front of Kieran.
[Name: Barrier Water]
[Type: Potion]
[Rarity: Legendary]
[Attribute: When applied evenly on the Witch's Mark, it can block the effect of the mark for a short period of time.]
[Prerequisite: None]
[Remark: It wasn't just born out of Potionology and Alchemy, there are also some things that you can't understand mixed in.]
…
When Kieran picked up the bottle, the notification popped up in his eyes.
"Not enough."
Kieran said without hesitation.
"This is the limit for now.
We're working hard to develop something more effective. "
Ickart answered meticulously.
"I'll need more."
Kieran made a request.
"According to the contract, I'll give you my share."
Ickart replied.
"Mm."
Kieran nodded and stood up to leave.
Throughout the process, Kieran didn't even care about Bella.
It seemed like she was frightened and didn't want to provoke Kieran anymore.
After Kieran left, Bella heaved a breath of relief.
"His Spirit attribute is too powerful.
I couldn't even move him. "
Bella seemed to be explaining the reason for her failure, but Ickart didn't care and walked out without saying a word.
They were of the same rank, to begin with.
He didn't need an explanation.
He wouldn't bear the consequences of Bella's mistakes.
He would leave everything to the leader.
As for the final result?
Ickart was thinking, but at the next moment …
Kakroom!
A sudden clap of thunder woke Ickart up. He shook his head.
He shouldn't be thinking about these useless things.
All he had to do was do what he should and that would be enough.
Huaa, Huaa Huaa.
The rain was getting heavier, and the huge city was completely submerged in the rain.
A figure with a broken arm shuttled through the rain.
He walked boldly in the big city in the heavy rain, looking for his target.
He wasn't worried about being exposed.
He wasn't worried about being discovered either.
Everything would be covered and washed away by the rain.
Whether it was traces or traces.
Or …
