A figure slowly walked out from the darkness. [
The figure was wearing long pants and a jacket. His blonde hair was shaved off from his temples, leaving only the top of his head. His hair was not short, but it was very long. If it wasn't tied up with a metal band, it would have draped over his shoulders.
A pair of brown eyes, as small as needles, was sizing up Kieran with a curious gaze.
“2567？”
Bird of Death?
The king of the land? "
The three consecutive questions made Kieran feel uneasy.
Before Kieran could answer, the figure waved his hand.
"Alright, no need to explain to me. I am just a messenger. The Shepherds of Death will be waiting for your arrival on the first of December!"
The figure waved his hand, and a black invitation letter flew towards the windshield of the Picard.
However, before it could touch the windshield, the letter made a turn and flew into Kieran's driver's seat.
The figure waved his hand again and retreated into the darkness.
The engine of the Picard rumbled again.
The headlights and streetlights came on again.
The dark clouds dispersed from the moon.
The light that should have been there was finally there.
Kieran squinted his eyes and scanned his surroundings. The street lights in the distance appeared again.
Before the figure appeared, he had already noticed it. It might seem like the figure had blended into the darkness, but it was nothing to Kieran, who had Common Level [Undercover].
What piqued Kieran's interest was the fact that the figure seemed to be able to block electricity.
Or rather, it could block the power of technology!
Of course, the latter was just a guess.
"The Shepherds of Death?
What kind of organization is this? "
Kieran picked up the black invitation letter. What he saw was a skull with an open mouth and two bluish green soul fires in its eye sockets.
Inside the letter was written in mysterious words.
Bird of Death
We await your arrival.
The Shepherds of Death
Late at night
"You just wrote it and you gave it to me?
But you didn't write down the address...
Trouble is coming! "
Kieran pursed his lips as he looked at the end of the invitation letter.
Kieran could see the shadow of trouble from the way the other party appeared and the invitation.
However, he had no choice but to solve this problem.
Because a side mission had appeared!
[New Sub Mission: Invitation from the Ancient Society!]
[Invitation from the Ancient Society: The Shepherds of Death have sent you an invitation. There are many strange things about this invitation. You must be careful! However, the premise is that you have to find where they are! Beware, this will affect Nikorei's prophecy and your reputation in the dungeon world!]
(Note: If the Shepherds' invitation is perfectly resolved, the rating will be greatly increased.)
"A perfect solution?"
Kieran glanced at the label that appeared once again, his gaze going back and forth.
Obviously, the Shepherds of Death were much more troublesome than he had imagined.
As for the truth?
It was the same.
…
"What?"
"Shepherds of Death?!"
After returning to 1st Black Street, Kieran sat down at the dining table and enjoyed his late dinner: chicken risotto.
The slightly charred onions and the tender chicken meat in the chicken risotto were chewed together. The crunchiness and juiciness of the chicken meat filled his mouth, whetting his appetite.
The white pepper on top made Kieran eat faster.
Of course, during dinner, Kieran did not forget to tell Simones everything about life.
He did not hide his desire to learn from Simones.
However, Simones had never heard of the Blood Queen Tiara or the Fantos Manuscript, so he wanted to look them up.
However, when Kieran mentioned the Shepherds of Death, Simones was shocked. The spoon in his hand fell on the dining table.
The crisp sound of the metal spoon was ear-piercing in the spacious dining room where there were only two people.
Kieran swallowed another piece of chicken and looked at Simones, whose expression kept changing.
"Are they strong?"
Kieran asked.
"Very strong!
In the past, the Shepherds of Death were as famous as the Dark Star, the Night Demon, the Unicorn, the White Deer and the Polaris!
Are you curious as to why no one has heard of them despite their fame? "
Simones asked. Kieran nodded.
"That's because thirty years ago, Rei annihilated this society!"
I never thought they would rise from the ashes! "
Simones said slowly.
Kieran rubbed his temples, groaning like he was in pain. "The Shepherds of Death were as famous as the five major societies?"
"Yes.
"And then, thirty years ago, Rei destroyed this society?"
"Yes.
"So, they're here for revenge?"
"Yes."
Every time Simones asked a question, he would get an affirmative answer.
"The Shepherds of Death were very scary. They were good at communicating with the dead and using their power. Rumor has it that they even had secret spells that could bring people back from the dead. Plus, the members of the Shepherds of Death were secretive and extreme. They didn't have a fixed meeting place. So, whenever the Shepherds of Death were mentioned in the mystical realm, they would be terrified!"
Simones took a deep breath as he spoke, as if he was recalling how scary the Shepherds of Death were.
"Then how did Rei get rid of the Shepherds?"
Rei wasn't a warmongering person. "
Kieran asked curiously.
"Because they had their eyes on Ferad. They thought he was a good research material …"
Simones spread his hands open.
Kieran, on the other hand, went back to eating his stewed rice quietly.
The Shepherds of Death had their eyes on the spirit butler, so the outcome was obvious.
It was true that Nikorei wasn't a warmongering person, but she wasn't the kind of person who wouldn't fight back when she was bullied.
Especially when someone had tried to bully the person next to her. Kieran could imagine how angry the old lady must have been.
He also felt sorry for the Shepherds.
Yes, they were extreme, secretive, and they didn't have a fixed meeting place.
But would it work on Nikorei?
Under Nikorei's gaze, most of the things in the dungeon world could not hide from her. If he followed the clues, Kieran could imagine how an organization that was as powerful as the five major societies had been wiped out.
At the same time, Kieran's impression of Nikorei's strength had been raised once again.
"She single-handedly dealt with an organization that was as powerful as the five major societies …
"No wonder both Morenderk of the Night Demon Society and Serdenk of the Dark Star Society were so afraid of Rei!"
There must be a reason for all of this!
So, the Shepherds of Death now … "
Kieran was deep in thought as he finished his food.
Suddenly, he thought of something.
His expression, which should have been solemn, immediately became relaxed.
He even smiled.
