Interrogator was confused when she heard the sobs.
The voice did belong to that terrifying existence, but … why was she crying?
That night, that existence was tearing the body of the third floor's overlord apart and laughing maniacally at the same time. Whenever she thought about it, she would shiver.
But now?
Just by listening to the sobs, Interrogator's mind was filled with a weak image, the type that she loved to bully in the past.
Carefully, Interrogator started to look around the third floor.
Then, she saw a little girl in a pink dress squatting in front of Kieran, hugging her head and sobbing. Her two ponytails were shaking as she sobbed.
The little girl's image was exactly what Interrogator had imagined.
Cute, soft, the kind that looked easy to bully.
When Interrogator saw the little girl in the dress, the little girl saw Interrogator as well.
"Sob sob sob, she's here, I'll catch her, sob sob sob, she's delicious!"
Muffled words sounded and the little girl appeared in front of Interrogator with a speed that Interrogator couldn't see clearly. She raised her hand and tried to grab Interrogator.
Out of instinct, Interrogator wanted to dodge.
However, at the next moment, the little pink hand suddenly enlarged into a palm the size of a millstone. Not only did it seal off the interrogator's escape route, but it also grabbed the interrogator in its hand.
At this time, the little girl had turned into a small giant. Her muscles were bulging out of her dress, and sharp teeth protruded from her huge mouth. Her two ponytails, which were supposed to be cute, were now soaring into the sky like two horns.
"Roar roar roar, I got food!"
A series of growls later, the little giant turned around and walked towards Kieran.
With every step, her body shrunk a little.
When she reached Kieran, she turned back into a little ponytailed loli and her dress returned to normal. She blinked her watery eyes and looked at Kieran.
"Food! Food! "
"Don't eat me, sob sob sob!"
The little girl threw the Interrogator at Kieran's feet and hugged her head, sobbing again.
Lying beside Kieran's feet, the interrogator stared at the blinding light on the ceiling and listened to the sobbing in her ears, falling into a daze.
What happened?
It seemed like the new overlord of the third floor was afraid of the lord he had 'pledged loyalty' to?
Could it be …
Have I found a golden thigh?
The Interrogator quickly came back to her senses. Although she didn't know why the new overlord of the third floor was so afraid of Kieran, it didn't stop her from showing her obedience.
The Interrogator flipped over and prostrated in front of Kieran.
"Sir, do you need me to continue searching for books related to the Arnold Sect?"
The interrogator crawled closer to Kieran. When his face was almost touching Kieran's boots, he asked in a flattering tone.
"Yes."
Kieran nodded lightly.
"I'll find the related books for you as soon as possible!"
The Interrogator made a vow and turned around to the bookshelves on the third floor.
When she walked past the new overlord of the third floor, the Interrogator glanced at the trembling young man with a delighted gaze.
'So what if I'm the new overlord?
I'm still a newcomer!
I'm the earliest follower of my lord!
I'll become the first elder of my lord's forces! '
The Interrogator who had acquired knowledge from books somehow got into her role.
Fuuu!
A gust of wind blew and all the books on the third floor floated, as if they were touched by a pair of invisible hands.
Kieran glanced over the unusual phenomenon caused by the Interrogator without any doubts. The Old Book had similar abilities as well, so it wasn't that rare.
However, the little ponytailed loli before him was different.
Unlike the Interrogator who was bound to the third floor, the little ponytailed loli could move freely and seemed to be able to see through Kieran's hidden aura and strength.
"What did you sense?"
Kieran looked down at the little ponytailed loli who was hugging her head and sobbing.
"Nothing at all!
Sob, sob, sob … Don't eat me! "
The little ponytailed loli tried her best to answer Kieran's questions with a clear voice, but as she spoke, she started to sob again. She didn't even dare to look at Kieran, as if she was a helpless little girl who had lost her way.
If Kieran didn't see the little ponytailed loli transform into a little giant, he would have been fine.
"Stop, if you keep crying, I'll eat you."
Kieran said calmly.
However, to the little ponytailed loli, his voice was like a death-hastening talisman. Her sobs got stuck in her throat, unable to go up or down. It was very uncomfortable, but the little ponytailed loli swallowed her sobs and quietly looked up at Kieran.
What did she see?
She saw Kieran standing in front of her.
She also saw the layers of black shadows behind Kieran.
The magma devil that roared at the sky.
The armored Knight that was blooming with holy light.
And the overlapping 'Kieran' that was like a phantom.
Their faces were the same.
But their expressions were different.
Arrogant, lazy, and … that terrible monster that kept swallowing its saliva.
It was too scary!
The moment she saw the monster, she felt like she had seen her natural enemy.
No!
Not a natural enemy!
It was …
A natural disaster!
The kind of natural disaster that devoured everything!
It was too scary!
The little ponytailed loli couldn't help but cry again.
At the moment when the tears came out, the little ponytailed loli remembered what Kieran said just now. She forcibly held back the tears that were about to come out. She looked at Kieran with her big, watery eyes, waiting for Kieran's question.
"Was it you in the gymnasium?"
Kieran asked.
"Yes."
The little ponytailed loli nodded repeatedly.
"The legend of crying and the secret treasure was also because of you?"
Kieran continued to ask.
"The legend of crying was, but the secret treasure was not.
Before I arrived there, the legend of the secret treasure had always been there, but I couldn't find it. "
The little ponytailed loli said seriously.
"Hmm, is that so?"
Kieran showed a trace of regret in his eyes.
Although he had guessed that there wouldn't be any secret treasure in the gymnasium, when the little ponytailed loli appeared, Kieran felt lucky again.
However, reality told him once again that he shouldn't have any delusions.
Of course, even if there was no secret treasure, he could still get some compensation.
Following the thought in his heart, the aura on Kieran's body changed slightly.
The change was very subtle.
But to the little ponytailed loli, it was too obvious. In her sight, the monster that kept swallowing its saliva slowly stood up and was about to pounce on her.
Between life and death, the little ponytailed loli had witnessed Kieran's way of doing things. Using her years of experience as a ghost, she quickly made the right decision.
"I know all the secret locations and legends in E Block of Theorate, and … existences similar to me!
They are tastier than me!
They even have the habit of collecting treasures! "
The little ponytailed loli uttered the words in the fastest speed she had ever uttered in her life.
Then, she saw the monster slowly stand up and shrink back again.
"You said treasures?"
Kieran asked again.
"Yes, my lord.
A lot, a lot of treasures!
I can even form an army for my lord, and they will be indispensable to you in the future! "
The little ponytailed loli showed her value once more.
An army?!
Kieran squinted his eyes.
If he were to ask what he lacked the most in this dungeon world, it would undoubtedly be manpower.
Although he had [Mesly Ring], because of his plan, he couldn't use it on a large scale.
Should he attract the attention of the dean and Smith, who was in hiding, his plan would fall short.
It was something Kieran would never allow.
However, an army formed by the little ponytailed loli would be different.
Kieran didn't believe the dean and Smith didn't know about the little ponytailed loli's existence.
Both of them must have known about it, but they didn't care about it because of certain matters.
With that in mind, Kieran had the leeway to turn things around.
If he used it properly, he might even get unexpected results.
"What's your name?"
Kieran asked.
"Alberto Lily!"
The little ponytailed loli heaved a breath of relief when she heard Kieran's question.
"Erm, Alberto Lily?"
"Sign it."
Kieran nodded and passed her a goatskin scroll.
Looking at the scroll, Alberto Lily's eyelids twitched. On the scroll, she saw the 'restriction' that she didn't want to see the most.
Alberto Lily hesitated for a while.
"You don't want to?"
Kieran asked.
In Alberto Lily's sight, the monster in the shadows was restless again.
Lose freedom.
Or choose death.
For most people, this was not an easy question to answer.
But for Alberto Lily, who had died once, death was too painful, to the point that she didn't want to try it again.
"I'll sign it!"
Alberto Lili snatched the contract scroll from him.
Further away, Interrogator was also looking at Kieran.
After some thought, Kieran took out another scroll.
Although Interrogator and Canberlanor overlapped in some aspects, compared to Canberlanor's support abilities, Interrogator's combat abilities were more worth looking forward to.
Exchanging a follower contract that wasn't expensive for Kieran at the moment for a decent follower, Kieran thought it was a good deal.
Agnesa.
Alberto Lily.
Kieran looked at the two new contracts and nodded in satisfaction.
He might be fighting alone.
But it didn't mean he couldn't get help.
Compared to the newbie players who couldn't be completely trusted, the natives who were bound by the contract were more trustworthy.
Of course, if the other players were Starbeck, Lawless, and the others, it would be a different story.
However, Starbeck, Lawless, and the others had their own persistence as well.
Starbeck wouldn't enter the dungeon world until the last minute.
As for the others?
They wouldn't trouble Kieran unless it was absolutely necessary.
"Continue."
Kieran ordered.
Interrogator continued to search for more information about Arnold Sect. Alberto Lily looked at Kieran in confusion.
"Go and do as you promised!"
I need the army you mentioned! "
Kieran said in detail.
"Oh, oh, I understand!"
After the twintailed little loli nodded in realization, she instantly disappeared on the spot.
Interrogator looked at the spot where Alberto Lily vanished, the alarms that rose in his heart instantly dissipated.
"Although he is strong, he is too stupid."
Not even a threat to me. "
Interrogator calmed down and continued his search.
The little ponytailed loli who appeared outside the library sneered coldly.
"Gullible bastard."
"Interrogator?
Hmph, like an idiot. "
The twintailed little lolita took a deep breath and began to think with a face full of disdain.
"Which one should I start with?
The one from the 2nd year study room?
The one from the plantation?
Or the one from the 3rd year toilet? "
As she muttered to herself, the little loli with double ponytails skipped forward.
Under the sunlight, her cute look and fitting dress made her look even cuter.
Some of the guys who had been paying attention to Kieran were unconsciously attracted by Alberto Lily. A few of them even flashed their eyes and showed malicious smiles. They thought they were stealthily chasing after Alberto Lily.
Then …
No one saw them after that.
…
Seconds turned into minutes.
The sun set and the moon rose.
Books about the Arnold Sect appeared on the study table one after another.
After finishing the book that was delivered to him, Kieran, who was sitting behind the study table, took a cup of tea and a pancake from the triple-layered silver dessert rack, putting it in his mouth.
Kacha!
Amid the crunch, the sweet aroma of sesame mixed with milk swiftly spread on Kieran's taste buds, jolting Kieran's sleepiness from reading for a long time.
"My lord, do you need any more desserts?"
Interrogator asked Kieran with two baskets of desserts.
The two baskets came from the second and third floor of the library.
The second floor was the interrogator's turf, so he was familiar with the place.
Although he wasn't familiar with the third floor, it wasn't a problem for him to find some desserts and tea.
The food and drinks were meant to fill the stomachs of the people who read for a long time.
New ones would be provided every day.
Of course, the higher the floor, the better the desserts.
Even the rarely visited third floor was no exception.
As for the people on the second floor?
In order to let Kieran have a better time reading, Interrogator 'warmly greeted' those people, and all of them made the right choice.
"All of you, stay!"
Kieran glanced over the two baskets and said.
"Very well."
With a sweet smile, Agernessa placed the desserts in the basket on the counter. After she placed the desserts on the counter, Agernessa brought hot water and filled Kieran's empty cup with hot water.
The aroma of tea wafted in the air again.
It was mixed with the aroma of sweets.
It was mixed with the aroma of books and ink.
Everything made Kieran feel satisfied.
Right at that moment, a series of footsteps came from the lower floor.
Dak, Dak, Dak.
The footsteps were heavy.
It didn't feel like he was walking, instead, it felt like he purposely stepped on the floor, as if he was telling everyone that he was here.
