The importance of equipment to a player was self-explanatory.
Some extreme players might even consider equipment as half of their strength, or even more.
Kieran was not such a player.
His character had determined him to develop himself in a more balanced manner.
Given that he could develop himself in all aspects, Kieran wouldn't mind.
However, it didn't mean that Kieran would give up on his equipment.
You never knew what you would face in the future.
In times of crisis, help in times of need.
In times of prosperity, the icing on the cake.
That was Kieran's understanding of equipment and items. This time around, due to the haste of the dungeon world, Kieran had temporarily lost all his equipment. Even though he had tried his best in the previous dungeon world, all he got was a few pieces of equipment and items.
The [Box of Bluff] was just like what it said, it was really a toy.
[Hound Ring] was a decent Legendary item. Whether it was during normal times or during critical moments, it could be used to its full potential.
[Twine Sting] was an offensive and defensive item. It was considered an indispensable item for Kieran at the moment.
Similar to [Twine Sting], [Light of Sight] and [Ghost Skin], the two items from the Three Kings Treasure Vault, were also items that Kieran desperately needed at the moment.
[Inquiring Staff] and [Dark Potion Spear] were the items that matched his identity as a Snake School.
As for [Lord of Mist]?
It was the most important reward in this dungeon world.
Kieran believed it without a doubt.
Those were all Kieran's current equipment and items.
He was still far from being fully armed to the teeth, which was what he was used to.
Therefore, when four Legendary items and items appeared at the same time, Kieran was delighted.
He picked up the narrow short sword and the thin rapier at the first moment.
[Name: Winkerton's Short Fangs]
[Type: Weapon]
[Rarity: Legendary]
[Attack: Powerful]
[Attribute: 1. Silent Strike; 2. Night Protection; 3. Soul Enslavement]
[Effect: None]

…
[Silent Strike: When swinging Winkerdon's fangs, it will not make a sound]
[Night Protection: During the night and in the shadows, Undercover level + 1]
[Soul Enslavement: When the short fangs and long fangs are ready, you can activate this special effect. The soul of the prey you kill can continue to serve you. (Depending on the strength of the prey, the soul can take the form of a ghost, a ferocious spirit, or an evil spirit. The soul will dissipate upon contact with the first ray of sunlight.)]
…
[Name: Winkerton's Tusk]
[Type: Weapon]
[Quality: Legendary]

[Defense: Extreme]
[Attributes: 1. Block, 2. Tusk Protection, 3. Soul Protection]

[Tusk Protection: After a precise block, you will receive a Powerful rank force field barrier, lasts 5 seconds.]
[Soul Protection: Control the enslaved soul and recharge the force field barrier. (Duration depends on the quality of the soul)]
…
Kieran was shocked when he saw the long dagger and the thin rapier in his hands.
He did not expect the two items to come from the same set.
Their attributes were quite strong, and one of them was offensive and defensive, complementing each other.
As long as the two items were used properly, they would be able to unleash quite a powerful force.
Without any hesitation, Kieran hung the two items on his waist.
Then, he looked at the leather armor and the boots.
[Name: Gul Watson's Remnant]
[Type: Leather Armor]
[Rarity: Legendary]
[Defense: Extreme]
[Attributes: 1. Gul Watson's Cunning; 2. Gul Watson's Ruthlessness]
[Effect: None]
[Prerequisite: Consume the flesh and blood of an intact adult (including organs)]
[Able to bring out of the dungeon: Yes]
[Remark: Gul Watson was a pagan that roamed outside Aïtantin Castle before the Black Cataclysm. During that era, pagans were not common and would stay away from human settlements, but Gul Watson was different. It was cunning and ruthless, it hunted humans non-stop until it ignorantly slaughtered a Silent Night Secret Order convoy …]
…
[Gehl Watson's Cunning: Every time you dodge an enemy's attack, your Strength and Agility will receive + 1 buff. Maximum of 3 buffs.]
[Gul Watson's Ruthlessness: Every time you kill an enemy and smear its blood on the armor, your next attack will increase by 1 (maximum of 2)]
…
[Name: Great Thief's Boots]
[Type: Boots]
[Rarity: Legendary]
[Defense: Powerful]
[Attributes: 1. Mute; 2. Hide]
[Effect: None]
[Prerequisite: None]
[Able to bring out of the dungeon: Yes]
[Remark: It was once the favorite item of a great thief, but when that thief set his eyes on the storage of the Silent Night Secret Order, it changed owners.]
…
[Mute: When you are standing or walking slowly, there is almost no sound. When you are walking at normal speed, the sound is reduced by 50%. When you are running, the sound is reduced by 20%. When you are sprinting at full speed, the sound cannot be reduced (It can only mute your own sound, not your backpack and items)]
[Hide: When you are standing or walking slowly in the shadows, Undercover level + 1]
…
Kieran glanced over the [Great Thief's Boots] and was completely captivated by [Gul Watson's Remnant].
After 'reading' part of Kurtzargert's memories, Kieran had a rather deep understanding of the 'remnants'.
Pagans would always leave behind some kind of item after they died.
Furthermore, the items that were left behind all possessed some sort of special power.
It was similar to a player's equipment.
However, the difference was that the requirements to use these items were much harsher. One or more conditions had to be fulfilled, and the more powerful the item, the more conditions had to be fulfilled.
For example, [Gul Watson's Remnant]!
From an objective point of view, it was a very powerful item.
However, the conditions to use it were unacceptable to Kieran.
He loved to eat, no doubt about it.
However, the menu did not include humans.
On the other hand, [Gul Watson's Remnant] seemed to be tasty.
Gluttony kept swallowing his saliva in his heart.
"B-Big Brother!"
Gluttony stuttered.
The stuttering wasn't because of any defect, nor was it because of fear. It was because when he swallowed his saliva, he opened his mouth to speak.
Kieran nodded since he knew what Gluttony was trying to do.
Right away, the power of cardinal sins appeared in Kieran's hand, which was holding the leather armor.
As though it had sensed the calamity, a faint figure appeared out of thin air from [Gul Watson's Remnant] and started to roar fiercely.
It was a monster with the body of a tiger and the head of an ape. Each time it roared, it would reveal its mouth full of sharp fangs.
It was ferocious and terrifying.
Any common man who saw such a scene would be paralyzed on the ground.
However, none of them were common men.
Kieran had gone through countless dungeon runs and coupled with his powerful Spirit, he was able to face anything with a calm heart.
Bloody Mary, the Superior Demon, relied on its undying, ever-changing characteristics and was a living being that was as good as an actor. Even if the sky fell and the earth cracked, it wouldn't be surprised.
As for Gluttony?
Ugh …
In his eyes, there was only what his big brother allowed him to eat and what his big brother forbade him to eat.
What he allowed to eat was tasty.
What he forbade him to eat was not tasty.
With such a simple belief in his heart, Gluttony opened his mouth wide and swallowed Gul Watson's mirage.
The vigorous energy was converted into five types of Origin Forces and entered Kieran's body, acting as fuel to expel the chaos in the deepest part of his soul.
A part of the Origin Forces was transferred into [Lord of Mist] according to the current dungeon world.
Soon, new changes happened to [Lord of Mist].
However, Kieran didn't check it right away.
He was savoring the chocolate taste on his taste buds.
The rich taste of cocoa was mixed with sugar and cream.
It was delicious.
After Gluttony swallowed Gul Watson's mirage, the taste started to spread on his taste buds. It lasted for half a minute before it slowly faded away.
"Not bad."
Kieran commented with a smile.
He then turned to Bloody Mary and said, "Use the three identities you have to help me collect food … leftovers."
"Yes, boss.
Do I need to pay attention to the upcoming plan? "
Bloody Mary nodded and asked.
"Nope.
You just have to believe in yourself.
Because you are the man of the show on stage. "
Kieran said in an affirmative tone.
Who else could change into a myriad of forms and imitate them to perfection?
Other than Bloody Mary, Kieran couldn't think of anyone else.
Kieran walked behind the desk and sat on the chair.
He glanced over the changes to [Lord of Mist]. The basics didn't change, only [Blessing] and [Deceive Contract] had some changes.
[Bless: Within the Land of Sicar and Edatine Castle, when your believers pray to you, you can consume stamina to bless them with a Blessing of Mist (Blessing of Mist: Allows the believers to see clearly in the mist, able to resist poison, cold, and acid), or a Blessing of Help (Able to communicate with plants or animals for a short period of time), or a Blessing of Bloodthirsty Iron Wall (Depends on how devoted the believer is for a short period of time, the blessed one's Strength will increase by 105%, damage received will be reduced by 60%, able to absorb enemy's blood to replenish own HP), or a Blessing of Concealment (Depends on how devoted the believer is, Undercover level will increase by 1 to 2 levels)]
[Deceive Contract: You have been treated as the God of Mist, you can use the Lord of Mist to accept a large amount of offerings from the believers and give them some rewards (The rewards are not limited to physical items. When you choose a physical item, you can set a permanent + 1 defense attribute, will consume a large amount of stamina)]
…
[Blessing] changed from Bloodthirsty Blessing to Bloodthirsty Iron Wall blessing. The blessed one's Strength increased from 100% to 105%, damage received increased from 50% to 60%.
Maybe it was only 5 to 10% increment.
However, Kieran would never underestimate the percentage increment.
He knew very well that if he had a good enough foundation, this kind of improvement would be terrifying.
If he was a powerful believer, his stamina consumption would be terrifying as well.
"I have to choose carefully."
Kieran told himself.
When he looked at [Deceive Contract], he felt much more relaxed.
With the premise of consuming a large amount of stamina, it was enough for Kieran to understand the message clearly.
As for the physical reward of + 1 defense attribute?
It was just to exchange for more rewards.
Without the sweetness, where would the reward come from?
Kieran knew all too well how to use a small trick to win a big trick.
"Maybe I can give it a try."
Kieran thought about it carefully and came up with some ideas.
Then, the first ray of light appeared on the horizon.
The sun rose as usual.
Breakfast was a must.
Although the tea was a little cold, the dishes on the table were delicious. Similar to the morning sun, it wasn't the warmest but it was the most pleasant.
It represented the start of the day.
Think about it, after a long night of sleep, when you woke up, you would be bathed in the morning sun, drinking a bowl of sweet soy milk, two fried dough sticks, and some pickled vegetables.
It was comfortable.
Of course, mutton soup or pastry would work too.
Tofu pudding or wonton would work too.
The most important thing was the feeling.
Kieran quietly savored the feeling.
Bloody Mary, on the other hand, had left quietly.
It knew its boss didn't like to be disturbed during his meal.
More so, it had more important things to attend to.
After it went down the stairs as Ludus, it ordered, "There's a VIP upstairs, don't disturb him."
The attendants nodded in agreement.
They were well aware of who their esteemed guest was.
It was Councilman Kurtzargert, just like their lord.
Bloody Mary walked out of the building, and when it went through the Central Third Ring, it had transformed into Kurtzargert.
With Kurtzargert's face, Bloody Mary easily entered the Lower Fourth Ring and entered Kurtzargert's shop.
The workers of the two shops were members of the Silent Night Secret Order.
When they saw Kurtzargert, they bowed.
Based on Kurtzargert's habit, Bloody Mary returned to its bedroom after a reply.
Inside the bedroom, Kurtzargert started to write the letter agreeing to the Council Meeting.
When a member of the Silent Night Secret Order took the letter and headed to Silent Night Town, Bloody Mary started to summon its allies.
A while later, Clairehore, the Undying, came in.
The Undying looked at Kurtzargert with a doubtful gaze.
He had just received a message from his teacher.
The message told him to come to Kurtzargert's shop.
Despite the doubts in his heart, Horlaika came because of his trust in his teacher.
However, when he didn't see his teacher but Kurtzargert, Horlaika's vigilance was raised to the max.
Was his teacher killed?
When the thought popped up in his mind, killing intent appeared in Horlaika's eyes.
To Horlaika, Bloody Mary was his teacher in life, the light in the dark, the source of his faith.
Someone had hurt Bloody Mary.
It would be a fight to the death.
Looking at Horlaika's reaction, Bloody Mary smiled and waved its hand.
"Relax.
It's me, Horlaika. "
Bloody Mary removed its disguise and spoke in Simon's face.
"Teacher!"
Horlaika looked at Bloody Mary in surprise. A moment later, Bloody Mary turned back into Kurtzargert and said, "I've agreed to the Council Meeting. When midnight comes, I need someone to ring the bell. Clairehore, are you willing to take up the responsibility?"
"My pleasure."
Horlaika quickly reacted to the situation and bowed.
Deep in his heart, he was extremely excited and excited.
'Our Snake school is finally going to counterattack!'
