Fenkes!
Fenkes, the prison doctor that Kieran had always wanted to meet, was standing outside the cordon.
After taking off his white coat, he was wearing a pair of knee-length brown shorts, a grayish-white half-sleeved shirt, and a sunhat. He looked no different from an ordinary old man who had just retired.
However, Kieran noticed something different.
Fenkes's eyes were much more spirited than Kieran remembered.
It was far from the cloudy eyes of an old man. Instead, it was translucent and glowing. Especially his body, it was extremely obvious. Not only was he strong and tall, but his exposed forearms and legs were also filled with bulging muscles. He was not the least bit inferior to some bodybuilders.
This was very inconceivable for a man who was nearly sixty years old.
Fenkes's intuition had also changed a lot.
When Kieran's eyes landed on him, the doctor noticed Kieran's gaze.
"Hey, 567, long time no see!
It's great to see you safe and sound! "
When Fenkes saw Kieran, his face lit up with a joyful smile. He waved and greeted Kieran loudly.
"Nice to see you too!
"It's just that the way you greet me is a little 'unique'!"
Although Kieran had doubts in his heart, it did not stop him from replying and testing Fenkes.
"I can explain!
Can we …? "
Fenkes glanced at Simones.
"You guys talk, I'll go clean up!"
Simones said to Kieran before he walked into the Celestial Garden, which was cordoned off. With Schmidt's ID, Simones was able to enter unimpeded.
...
In a cafe at the corner of the street.
Kieran and Fenkes were sitting opposite each other. Fenkes was stirring the coffee in his cup with a spoon.
The rich aroma of the coffee beans and the softness of the meat floss cake mixed together. It was a different kind of taste.
This combination couldn't be considered delicious, but at a certain moment in the afternoon, with this combination, he felt satisfied from the bottom of his heart.
However, Kieran did not have such satisfaction.
He was completely absorbed in Fenkes' story.
"After we left, you, the Warden, and the others also entered the cave where the bronze coffin was stored. Then, after the Warden and the others touched the bronze coffin, they all died. Not only did you survive, but you also obtained some incredible knowledge and abilities? This is too unbelievable! "
Kieran asked after Fenkes finished.
His words were filled with surprise.
Because to him, this was truly inconceivable.
Just how much luck did one have to have in order to be able to reach the point where others would die from touching it, and one would gain benefits from touching it?
Kieran expressed his doubts.
Fenkes could only smile bitterly at Kieran's doubtful expression.
"If it was someone else like me, I would have the same doubts as you!"
"But when it happened to me …"
"I removed the acceptance. There is no other way! "
Finks sighed.
"Then why did you become the leader of the Hatch and Hatch Heresy?"
Kieran continued to ask with a hint of doubt in his heart.
This was what he was most concerned about.
"Curiosity!"
"I'm curious about the changes that happened to my body, but I can't find you guys. The only thing that could be related to this special event is the fact that you're the only one who can be related to this special event. Gilfren Hatch is the only one left! "
"So, I started to look for something related to Gilfren Hatch, hoping to find something that could explain what happened to me."
"But …"
Hearing this, Fenkes could not help but smile wryly.
Kieran, on the other hand, had a rough idea.
"However. What you didn't realize was that the Hatch Heresy was a bunch of lies. Other than Gilfren Hatch, everyone else is a liar! "
Kieran continued.
"En!"
"But apart from these swindlers. I did make some discoveries … "
"Because of these discoveries, I had no choice but to become the new leader of the organization. I couldn't just sit back and watch the innocent suffer the pain that Gilfren Hatch inflicted on them!
After all, they shouldn't have to endure this pain!
"Especially when I can help them solve their pain!"
But some of them refused to accept my help. They thought that I had deviated from Gilfren Hatch's teachings, that I had gone down the wrong path! "
Fenkes nodded, his face filled with helplessness.
A moment later, Fenkes lowered his voice and asked Kieran.
"Do you know about spell backlash?"
"Spell backlash?"
"You can cure spell backlash?"
Kieran squinted his eyes.
He was no stranger to the term.
Because recently, he had often heard this word.
"If you don't want to end up like a member of the Drifter Society, don't try magic that you don't know!"
Kieran remembered the serious look on Nikorei's face when she had said that.
The consequences of such a serious look were worth it.
If one didn't have the necessary talent, or if one didn't have the necessary talent, but tried to cast a spell, the consequences would be dire.
If one was lucky, they would become like the members of the Drifter Society, muttering to themselves.
If they were unlucky, they would die right away.
Moreover, Nikorei had clearly stated that the 'nagging' state would accompany her for the rest of her life.
In short, there was no cure for it.
However, according to what Fenkes had said, he seemed to have the ability to cure it.
Even Nikorei couldn't cure it, but Fenkes had said that he could.
Suddenly, Kieran had an idea.
"You got the knowledge from the bronze coffin?"
Kieran asked.
"Yes!
"I've obtained some incredible knowledge, and one of them is a way to cure spellcasting backlash. So, I want to save those innocent people!"
And I need your help, 567! "
Fenkes looked at Kieran with a serious expression.
"What help?"
Kieran asked.
"Help me get back to Alcatraz!
I'm familiar with the treatment process, but I'm missing something. I need some fresh blood from the bronze coffin!
Before the blood is completely absorbed by the coffin, I need to extract it and make it into a healing potion!
I know it's a dangerous task, but I hope you can help me, Kieran!
I don't need too much. Just bring me back to Alcatraz! "
Fenkes said in a serious tone.
Go back to Alcatraz?
Kieran's breath caught in his throat.
