Romuse, who was dressed in casual clothes and had white hair, stood at the entrance of Fire Furnace Alley. He looked at his ruined house and couldn't help but sigh.
It was a pity that the house that he had meticulously chosen was gone and his collection was destroyed.
Especially some of the books that he had spent a lot of effort to find.
'I've only read them a hundred times!'
Once he thought about how he would no longer be able to sleep with these books, Romuse's mood turned even worse.
Senile could tell that the dean was in a bad mood.
If he had a choice, he didn't want to appear at this time, but Professor Tyrese was heavily injured and his friend, Leonard, was with the troublemaker. Other than Senile, there was no one else.
"Dean, we've confirmed that it was Lude and Derton!
But … "
"Contrary to our previous speculation, the mastermind this time is not Derton, but Lu De!"
Senile forced himself to report the news that he had gotten.
"Lude was the mastermind?"
Romuse came back to his senses and his eyes flashed with astonishment.
"Em.
Based on 2567's description, when he was fighting Derton, the little house that you lived in suddenly exploded, but Derton wasn't surprised at all, it seems like he had expected it.
Then, Lude went to the place where they fought, and Derton was very respectful towards him. "
Senile nodded and said.
"This is just 2567's description.
"I need more direct evidence."
And … the information that 2567 knew about the Index of Eat was directed at Lude, so the two of them shouldn't be unrelated. "
Romuse reminded Senile.
"We have more direct evidence. Two groups of guards that came to the scene were attacked by Lude, and the guards fell into an illusion within an instant.
That kind of power is at least at the professor level.
And speed!
"Lu De has displayed an incredible speed. Not even a professor can match up to him."
Before Senile questioned the two groups of guards, he had doubts about what Kieran said, but after some questioning, he was very certain about what 2567 said. Derton was Lude's subordinate.
Because, why would the strong pledge their loyalty to the weak?
Just like how a sheep would never lead a lion.
"Is that so?
What about the relationship between 2567 and Lude? "
Romuse asked.
"I asked him about it. He said that when Lu De's men tried to snatch the rainbow cake from the freshmen banquet, he found something amiss."
"Speaking of which, it's really hard to believe."
"I'm afraid that no one would have thought that an accidental robbery would lead to such a huge incident."
Senile sighed with sorrow.
"No one believed it?"
"If no one believed him, how did 2567 do it?"
Romuse asked.
"Him?"
"He's a little different from ordinary freshmen. Not only is he extremely strong, but his way of thinking is also different from ordinary people."
"Perhaps this is one of those so-called geniuses."
Senile recalled for a while before he shook his head and smiled bitterly.
There were always some people who were different.
In the eyes of ordinary people, a problem that was incomparably difficult was not difficult at all.
In their eyes, some of the matters that seemed like a dense fog were extremely simple.
At least, before he came to Fire Furnace Alley, Senile never thought that Derton … no, Lude's target would be the dean.
Everything was to lure the headmaster out of the small building and leave Fire Stove Alley.
Naturally, there should be something extremely precious in that small building.
As for what it was?
Romuse didn't say, so Senile wouldn't ask for a snub.
However, Senile admired 2567 wholeheartedly.
"Maybe.
But I'm more concerned about … Lude!
A third-year student who tried his best to hide his strength is much more dangerous than a genius First Seat freshman!
"Senile, get me all the information about Lude!"
Romuse said.
"Yes, Dean."
Senile nodded and picked up his communicator.
…
After accepting Senile's interrogation, Kieran had returned to his dorm.
He knew what would happen next, but … it was none of his business anymore.
Everyone's attention would be focused on Lude.
Kieran believed Bloody Mary would do its best.
Just like now.
Through the contract, Kieran gained Bloody Mary's vision and was looking at the thing that Derton cared a lot about.
It was a map.
A map with clear markings on E Block.
Mystic State.
Activation time.
Danger level.
The words clearly told Kieran the value of the map.
"A brand new Mystic State?!"
When Derton was willing to give up the Index of Eat for this map, Kieran already had some guesses about the map, but he never thought it would be a map to a brand new Mystic State.
How much was a brand new Mystic State worth?
Kieran knew it very well since he was no longer a newbie in the dungeon world.
Not to mention the secret treasures that might be stored inside, just the 'ingredients' inside were enough to make people scramble for it.
For Kieran, the most important thing was the words that popped up in his vision.
[Acquired key item: New Mystic State Deduction Map]
[With New Mystic State Deduction Map, you have activated the special trial, acquired special dungeon world: The Name of Eat]
…
"I've acquired the qualification to enter the special dungeon?"
Kieran curled his lips into a grin.
Acquiring the chance to enter the new dungeon world in advance was self-explanatory for Kieran.
At least some parts of his plan that were restricting him could be solved in a better and easier way.
After some thought, Kieran ordered Bloody Mary to take out the Index of Eat.
Then, Kieran frowned.
It was filled with ancient texts.
There weren't any annotations.
The ancient texts didn't belong to [Mystical Knowledge] but the ancient texts of this world. For Kieran, who only knew the common language, the ancient texts were as hard to understand as the Heavenly Tomes.
Besides, what happened just now had determined that he couldn't study the ancient texts for the time being.
Even though he was quite secretive about it, a sudden large amount of ancient texts would attract unwanted attention.
In fact, if it wasn't for the troublesome guard in the library, Kieran would have told Canberlanor to finish reading all the books in the library in the shortest time possible.
Now?
"Do I have to use a more secretive method?"
Kieran muttered.
Unconsciously, Kieran thought of the vengeful spirit that lingered in the second floor.
Maybe …
There was one on the third floor as well?
After the thought bloomed in his heart, Kieran didn't make his move right away. Instead, he took out the items that he got from Derton and the two other attackers last night.
It was a Magic Level Plate.
A Rare rank wine flask.
A Legendary rank oil flask.
Under the light, the three items shone brightly in front of Kieran, making Kieran very happy.
[Name: Delicate Plate]
[Type: Wonder Item]
[Rarity: Magic]
[Attack: None]
[Defense: Strong]
[Attribute: Cold]
[Effect: None]
[Able to bring out of dungeon: Yes]
[Remark: A low-tier treasure that the pastry chef found in the Enigmatic Realm. Other than serving pastries, seafood sashimi is also a decent choice.]
…
[Cold: Emits faint cold air all the time (Won't harm a person even after a long time)]
…
[Name: Delicate Devouring Wine Flask]
[Type: Wonder Item]
[Rarity: Rare]
[Attack: None]
[Defense: Powerful]
[Attribute: Devour]
[Effect: None]
[Able to bring out of dungeon: Yes]
[Remark: A treasure that the Wine Beast found in the Enigmatic Realm. It's priceless to him.]
…
[Devour: Put special ingredients into the flask, it will produce different types of wine based on the ingredient's characteristics (Speed of production depends on the ingredient's level, unable to devour Legendary and above ingredients), 1 time per week]
…
[Name: Secret Blend Grease]
[Type: Wonder Item]
[Rarity: Legendary]
[Attack: None]
[Defense: None]
[Attribute: When cooking, pour the grease into the food, it has a certain chance to increase the food's rarity, 3/3 (When the amount exceeds 1 serving, it will be treated as 2 servings)]
[Effect: None]
[Able to bring out of dungeon: Yes]
[Remark: Only the Grease Giant's essence is worthy of being called Secret Blend]
…
After checking the three items carefully, Kieran carefully put them away, especially [Secret Blend Grease]. It had a certain chance to increase the food's rarity, he knew who was the most suitable to own it.
[Delicate Plate] and [Small Devour Wine Flask] were placed together with the other spoils of war.
Although Kieran didn't drink, it didn't stop Kieran from putting them in his backpack.
After that, Kieran pushed the door open and walked out.
After all, it was almost dinner time.
You mean the communicator that's always been on the table?
Kieran didn't feel safe from the bottom of his heart since it was something made by someone else.
He didn't know whether it was mixed with something that shouldn't be there.
Even though Tyrese had always been kind and generous, he still wasn't a friend that Kieran could acknowledge.
…
E Block cafeteria.
Kieran saw Eiderburgh standing at the entrance of the underground kitchen with a single glance. Eiderburgh had been missing for two days, and although he looked a little tired, his tall and buff body was still like a chimpanzee. Especially the smoking pipe in his mouth, it was flickering with sparks, expressing his bad mood.
"Good evening, Head Chef."
Kieran greeted Eiderburgh and walked up to the cafeteria like it was his destination.
"Wait.
Where are you going? "
Eiderburgh called out to Kieran.
"Cafeteria. Dinner."
Kieran said in a concise manner.
"Haven't you been eating in the kitchen for the past two days?"
Eiderburgh asked with a cold smile.
"Kitchen?
What nonsense are you talking about? In the past two days, other than necessary, this is the first time I'm eating in the cafeteria. "
Kieran frowned, showing displeasure on his face.
"You weren't the one behind the mess in the kitchen?"
Eiderburgh was stunned when he saw Kieran's genuine and natural dissatisfaction.
After breaking free from his restraints and returning to the cafeteria, Eiderburgh, who was already frustrated, heard about what happened in the cafeteria in the past two days. He unconsciously thought of Kieran.
According to the timing of Kieran's appearance, Eiderburgh was waiting for him.
Then, he saw Kieran, as he expected.
But …
Kieran's reaction made him doubt his initial judgment.
'Is it really not him?'
When the doubt appeared in his heart, Eiderburgh's aura weakened by 30%.
"Slandering someone without any proof, is this how you do things?"
Kieran asked. Eiderburgh's aura weakened further.
"The one being slandered is your savior!"
Kieran grunted coldly, and Eiderburgh's aura weakened further.
"Fine! Alright! "
I admit I lost my cool because of that bastard Derton, but I'll make it up to you! "
Eiderburgh put down his smoking pipe and scratched his head before saying.
"What compensation?"
"Serving room …"
"Don't even think about it!
Don't even think about stepping foot into the serving room for the rest of your life! "
Eiderburgh interrupted Kieran the moment his words escaped his mouth.
"Then what compensation do you have?
"Is it a Proper Meal?"
Kieran raised a puzzled brow.
He didn't believe Eiderburgh could provide Proper Meal class food.
Of course, if Eiderburgh could, Kieran wouldn't mind.
"Why don't you go rob someone?
I'll tell you a legend about the cafeteria — there's a powerful technique hidden in the cafeteria. Rumor has it that it's in the kitchen, but I don't know where exactly.
But one thing I'm sure of: the legend is real! "
Eiderburgh grunted angrily before he said slowly.
"What kind of compensation is this?
"I've heard this legend from other people as well."
Kieran expressed his dissatisfaction.
"I'll give you access to the cafeteria at night, you can search carefully.
"And I promise that as long as you find it, it will be yours."
"Theorate and I will not get involved in this," Kieran said.
Eiderburgh said seriously.
"Fine."
Kieran pretended to think for a while before he nodded.
Then, with a little regret that he couldn't eat to his heart's content, he headed to the cafeteria upstairs — the First Seat had his own private dining room.
As for searching for the legendary technique?
Kieran didn't have high hopes.
So many people had failed to find it after so many years, to the point that it became a legend. Kieran didn't think he would be lucky enough to receive a fortuitous encounter from the heavens.
"Give me three sets of A set and three sets of B set.
Give me three more sets of C set. "
Kieran glanced over the menu and told the waitress at the window.
It wasn't that he didn't want more, but …
He didn't have any more cash.
After he entered this dungeon world, he only got some cash from Lude's secret storeroom, and after the storeroom was blown up, he lost his source of cash.
"I need to find a place to exchange gold for some cash … Huh?!"
Kieran suddenly felt a weak presence flash over while he was deep in thought.
