"This is the last strike of the assassin!"
When the books were moved away one by one, Kieran instantly came up with such a conclusion when he saw the two mummified bodies.
Because it was too obvious.
One of the mummified bodies had a dagger stabbed into its back, and it was pointing at the other mummified body whose chest was caved in.
It seemed like after the victim was stabbed in the back by the assassin, the victim retaliated and killed the assassin before her death.
On top of that, the dying strike was very fast and powerful.
Not only did it not give the assassin any room to dodge, but it also affected the books, causing the two bodies to be buried under the books.
Of course, it was not because of the books that the two bodies were turned into mummified bodies instead of skeletons.
"It must be because of the magic circle!"
Kieran looked at the magic circle under the bookshelf.
The magic circle was formed by a pair of circles, and its function was to better preserve the books, protecting them from the damage of time and insects.
The person who set up the magic circle might not have thought that it could preserve the bodies as well.
However, it saved Kieran a lot of trouble.
At least, he could easily tell that the victim was a woman based on the clothes that were preserved on the mummified body. She must have been rich when she was alive, and the decorations on her clothes were enough to prove it.
As for the assassin?
As a man, his clothes were simple, but he had a big frame. Even after turning into a mummified body, he was still taller than a common man.
Kieran could totally imagine how big and buff the assassin would have been if he was alive.
Kieran sized up the two mummified bodies carefully and his eyes eventually landed on the dagger that was stabbed into the female mummified body's back.
Unfortunately, when Kieran touched the dagger with his finger, the system told him that the dagger was just a common weapon.
Slightly disappointed, Kieran looked at the study table.
It was a wide study table.
Because of the scattered books, the table was messy as well.
However, something else was still very eye-catching.
It was an opened book, and after a quill dipped in ink left a deep dent on the book, it fell to the side.
The ink in the overturned bottle splattered everywhere. Not only did it stain the entire table, but it also turned many parts of the book black.
"The victim was writing something before he was attacked."
"The sudden attack caused her to lose control of her strength. Her hand that was holding the quill slid across the page with the quill and fell to the ground. At the same time, it knocked over the ink bottle."
Kieran carefully picked up the book that was stained with ink after he came up with a guess.
"This is a diary?"
Kieran stared blankly at the date written in Mystical Knowledge.
Because that date was too long ago!
This was the latest date Kieran could see.
However, even this latest date was 370 years away from the current time in the dungeon world.
"Are you really reading history?"
With a slight sigh, Kieran flipped through the pages.
But as he flipped through it, Kieran's expression changed.
It was not only because the date recorded in the diary was older than he had imagined, but also because the content recorded in it was far beyond his expectations.
The contents of the diary were as follows:
"The search from the outside didn't make any progress. In order to get the secret, I have to marry that cowardly bastard. He has the title of a baron but can't do anything about it."
"Hah, that cowardly bastard is really an idiot. It was just a simple engagement ceremony and it told me everything I wanted to know."
"The wedding was held as scheduled. Looking at that cowardly bastard's smiling face, I felt nauseous. I really hoped that he could still smile after a while."
"Everything went according to plan. That cowardly bastard really has an extraordinary bloodline. Just look at his face, I'm shivering."
"Fortunately, I've prepared a special place for him."
"Not smooth! Not smooth! "
"I need more experimental materials to find the best way to acquire this bloodline!"
"Bloodline! Bloodline!
Even though it was a failed experiment, it was still so powerful!
"What a powerful bloodline! This is what I should have!"
"As expected, in order to acquire this kind of power, not only do I need a strong body, I also need a compatible and similar bloodline."
"Fortunately, he's still alive and kicking, and he can't forget me."
"He loves me?"
"How ironic!"
"But giving birth to one or two children with me is also very simple."
"I'm almost there!
I'm about to give birth! "
"I'm about to get this power!"
e.1.1
"Damn it! Why does a bloodline have memories?"
"That bastard ran away!"
"All my efforts were in vain!"
"Heart transplant!"
"I've finally found a solution."
"Why didn't I think of such a simple solution in advance?"
"But that monster's vitality is too strong. Even without a heart, it could still survive!"
"No, that monster's heart is too strong. If I want to store the heart, I need a strong body!"
"No, no, some supplementary potions can solve this problem perfectly!"
"The potion is about to succeed. I'm about to become immortal, like a god …"
…
Because of the ink, most of the contents of the diary could not be seen clearly.
However, just the content that he was able to see sent chills down Kieran's spine.
When he saw the contents, Kieran instinctively thought of the legend of Alcatraz Island that Captain Raul had told him when he had first entered the [Prison on the Island] dungeon.
Through comparison, Kieran was eighty percent sure that the diary had been written by the baron's bride.
In the story, the baron and his bride had been miserable.
However, the diary before Kieran's eyes told him that the baron had been miserable, but the baron's bride had not been.
The bride was the culprit behind everything that had happened to the baron.
From the description, Kieran could feel the man's madness.
In order to obtain the power of the baron's bloodline, he had done anything. Not only had he experimented on humans, but he had also experimented on his own children.
It was because of his experiments that Alcatraz Island had been off-limits to humans for a hundred years.
If it wasn't for the sudden assassination attempt, this situation would have continued for a long time.
At the same time, it also confirmed Kieran's suspicions about what had happened in the cave.
The cave had been a prison.
The only thing that had exceeded Kieran's expectations was that the half-dead monster had been the baron.
Out of instinct, Kieran looked down at the man's dried body.
It was obvious that the man was the baron's descendant.
If the man had not grown up on the island and was familiar with the place, he would not have been able to sneak in and assassinate the baron.
In addition, the man's physique far exceeded that of an ordinary person, which indirectly proved his identity.
Kieran did not know why the man had come back to assassinate his evil woman, who did not deserve to be called his mother, after escaping for so many years.
However, Kieran was sure that the man was very powerful.
He had used a common dagger to ignore a special person's defense and kill the baron with a single blow.
It was not something anyone could do.
The baron's bride had been a special person.
She had been a special person with ulterior motives.
If Kieran had not been able to figure out the identity of the baron's bride after reading the diary, especially the experiment records and potion formulas, it would have been useless.
"The power of the bloodline?"
Kieran muttered to himself as he looked at the dried corpse on the floor.
It was the first time he had seen such a term.
However, he could feel the power of the bloodline from the diary's description.
Hundreds of years ago, a powerful special person had schemed to steal the bloodline, and now, hundreds of years later, he was still being hunted down.
Gilfren Hatch must have been the baron's descendant.
According to the diary, the baron had left Alcatraz for more than 20 years. It would not have been strange if he had gotten married and had children outside.
According to the diary, the baron's bloodline had been passed down to the baron's descendant.
Gilfren Hatch must have inherited his ancestor's memory, which was why he had returned to Alcatraz in search of more power.
However, the memory did not seem to be complete.
The baron had only known that the prison was extremely dangerous.
He had not known that beyond the prison was the library before him.
He had not known that the key to obtaining the bloodline was the potion!
Otherwise, the baron would have risked his life to come here to obtain the bloodline's power.
"The incomplete memory gave him the wrong information, so Frostrill, who was working with Gilfren Hatch, must have gotten the wrong information as well!
No, no, even if the information was wrong, Gilfren Hatch would not have told Frostrill everything!
"Nine truths and one falsehood is the best choice!"
He used the majority of the truth to attract Frostrill's attention and cooperation, but he kept the key information to himself. That was the best way for Gilfren Hatch!
Was it because of the heart and Gilfren Hatch's misleading words that Frostrill had the confidence to ignore everyone else? "
Kieran finally understood what had given Frostrill the confidence to betray Serdenk and ignore Nikorei.
He really wanted to know what would happen to Frostrill if he transplanted the heart without the potion's help.
If he could, though, he would not mind transplanting the heart himself.
After all, he had mastered the correct method of transplanting the heart.
Kieran turned around and walked towards the lab on the left.
