Early in the morning, 1st Black Street.
Kieran was having breakfast in his study room.
The aroma of buttered bacon toast and warm milk filled the room, along with the slight aroma of fruits and vegetables. Anyone who smelled it would be tempted.
Kieran was no exception.
Kieran, who was sitting at the side of the table, was chewing slowly. He was using his tongue to taste the difference in the food.
The smoked bacon and the soft bread were perfectly blended with the delicate butter. In an instant, an incredible taste bloomed on the taste buds.
Paired with some cucumber slices and cherries, it did not stand out. Quite the contrary, it allowed one to clearly feel the essence of the meat and wheat.
Kieran was intoxicated by the taste.
Kieran was not stingy with his praise for Ferad, who had made such a delicious breakfast.
"What superb cooking skills!"
Kieran said.
"Thank you for the compliment!
This is today's newspaper! "
The spirit butler couldn't speak, so he was still using pen and paper to communicate with Kieran.
Ferad, on the other hand, was far superior to the other butlers.
At the very least, when Ferad reappeared, he was holding two newspapers in his hands.
One of them was the daily newspaper of the city.
The other one was for special people to read.
"Special people have a newspaper?"
Kieran was stunned when he saw the newspaper that was meant for special people.
He hadn't expected this to happen.
He had thought that these special people should be very secretive.
Maybe there would be people like Nikorei who worked with common people, or maybe there would be people like the Drifter Society who acted recklessly, but most of them had to hide their identities.
However, the appearance of this newspaper forced Kieran to rethink his assumptions.
"We need to keep up with the times!
Nikorei is one of the editors who founded this newspaper!
That's why this newspaper sends free newspapers to our house every day! "
The spirit butler explained the origin of the newspaper.
"Nikorei, huh?
It suits her style! "
Kieran smiled and picked up the newspaper.
Kieran did not doubt this.
Not only were shamans friendly to ordinary people, but they also didn't mind using some modern items to start a newspaper. It wasn't strange for it to appear on him.
Thinking about the other party's ability to "see," Kieran felt that it was indeed suitable for him to become the chief editor of a newspaper.
"Gas pipeline explosion at the police station. Fortunately, there were no casualties! "
Picking up the newspaper, Kieran saw such a headline.
For Kieran, who knew the truth, this title instantly made him lose interest in reading.
Throwing the city's daily newspaper aside, Kieran picked up the newspaper for special people to read. The noteworthy things that happened the day before were recorded in various characters.
There was no photo on it. Coupled with the garbled characters, even if an ordinary person saw it, they wouldn't notice it.
"Not a bad security measure!"
Kieran said in his heart.
[Mystical Knowledge] was enough to build an invisible, impassable wall between special individuals and common people.
Unless it was a coincidence, a common person would never have anything to do with a special individual for the rest of their lives.
Kieran lowered his head and read the special newspaper.
It was a detailed description of the incident that happened in front of the police station.
The Drifter Society and Kieran's nickname, 2567, were the most common terms in the newspaper.
However, these two terms that appeared frequently were definitely not the ones that appeared the most.
"Holy Knight!"
It was the term that appeared the most.
The middle part of the newspaper was filled with the introduction of the Holy Knight and guesses about whether 2567 was the last Holy Knight.
"The glory of the Holy Knight will shine again! This is what we are looking forward to!"
"The Paladins had all perished in that war before the Er Era!"
"2567 might be a liar!"
"But I think we can pay this Hon. 2567 a visit!"
"Seeing is believing!"
Kieran couldn't help but rub his swollen temples when he read the guesses.
He had never thought that using the [Holy Water 8] would cause him so much trouble.
Kieran knew that it was not a good thing to be known as the last Holy Knight.
Whether it was the "visitors" that would come to visit him. Whether it was the problem of his reputation being exposed, it made Kieran frown.
However, there was one thing that Kieran was happy to see.
His name had appeared in the public's eye.
As long as the Hatch Heresy paid attention to the news, they would come knocking on his door.
Other than this piece of good news, Nikorei's impression of him had improved after the battle last night.
The Sub Mission was the best proof of that.
[Sub Mission Unlocked: The Shaman's Package!]
[Sub Mission: Your performance has made Nikorei, the shaman, look at you in a different light. She thinks that you are a trustworthy assistant. She has decided to leave more things for you to do. Go to the Celestial Garden and look for Simones. He will give you the package. You have to keep it safe until Nikorei returns!]
...
Kieran had spoken to Nikorei after the battle. When she had mentioned it, Kieran had agreed without hesitation.
No matter which dungeon he entered, Kieran would try his best to complete the Sub Mission.
Of course, other than the two seemingly vague pieces of good news, Kieran had also gotten something substantial.
Two cracked [Soul Shard] s!
Plus the two he had left in the game lobby. Kieran had once again gathered a set of four [Soul Shard] s worth 27500 Points and 6 Skill Points.
If he had a choice, Kieran would not have minded making a few more enemies like the Drifter Society.
Unfortunately, even though he had purposely left one of them alive the night before, he had not been able to get any more information about the Drifter Society.
The sinister-looking man had fallen into a similar state to Louver.
After a doctor's examination, it had been confirmed that he was not faking it.
There was something wrong with his mind!
Similar situations had confirmed Kieran's suspicions about the members of the Drifter Society.
However, it did not help.
He still could not get any more information about the Drifter Society.
Even though the two of them were currently at 1st Black Street, it was still the same.
Louver and the sinister-looking man were temporarily locked up at 1st Black Street. It did not take much effort. All he had to do was make a report and everything was settled.
"Those useless bastards are scared out of their wits!"
Those were his exact words.
Kieran did not comment further.
Whoosh!
Kieran continued to read the second half of the newspaper. Suddenly, a white invitation letter appeared in front of him as he flipped through the pages.
The black pentagram on the invitation letter shone brightly under the morning sun.
