An eagle rack. ★ ★
An essential item to train an eagle.
However, after the eagle was successfully trained, it would also become a resting place for the eagle.
Some eagle trainers with special techniques would even train the eagle to have the habit of eating only on the rack.
It wasn't strange for a noble to have an eagle rack.
In fact, only a noble could afford the expenses required to train an eagle.
However, Sergourney, who obviously had a special mission outside, brought an eagle rack with him. It was thought-provoking.
Sergourney was obviously not a useless young master, he knew how to prioritize the situation.
Therefore, there was only one possibility for the eagle rack to appear.
"An eagle used for communication?"
Kieran muttered.
He then started to search around the room.
Using an eagle to communicate, there would be a special notebook.
Since Sergourney didn't have it on him or in the study room, it could only be here.
When Kieran picked up the pillow on the bed, a palm-sized notebook appeared in his sight.
Picking up the notebook made of kraft paper, Kieran took out a pencil from his backpack and quickly scribbled on it.
After a while, some words appeared before Kieran's eyes.
The convoy had no target in it and was heading towards Swusters Castle.
There was no beginning, end or signature, but it was enough for Kieran to guess more.
After all, it was too easy to guess the target related to Sergourney.
An imperial envoy!
Other than the imperial envoy, there was no one else.
However, it seemed like the imperial envoy wasn't an idiot. He left the convoy alone and headed towards Swusters Castle with the secret order, leaving the convoy behind to attract people's attention.
"Hold on!"
Kieran suddenly thought of something. He checked the room again and after making sure he didn't miss anything, he quickly left the room and returned to the temporary campsite.
Of course, Kieran didn't forget Mary's request for help.
The moment the guard on the outpost tower turned around, Kieran took the two bodies down from the pole and vanished into the shadows with his hand.
...
"So they are Harway and Pul?"
Mary frowned hard when she saw the two badly mutilated bodies.
After seeing the two corpses, the girl was not satisfied.
This was because the two disfigured corpses made it impossible for her to achieve her goal.
"Yes."
"I only found these two corpses outside the town!"
"Right, there's also this!"
As he spoke, Kieran passed the letter written by Mary's mother to the girl.
Kieran could clearly see that Mary's expression had become strange again.
However, compared to his previous doubts, this time, Kieran found some clues.
Or more accurately, it was because of something that Mary's mother, Ellen, had written to Harvey and Poole in her letters.
The word 'confused' appeared in both letters.
This was definitely not something an old friend should say when they met.
On the contrary, it should appear in the world of those who are entangled in emotions.
It was obvious that the previous owner of Swusters Castle had something with Harvey, Poole and Andy when they were young.
Once the hormones of youth collided.
Naturally, he would have a different feeling.
However, Harvey and Poole should be the losers.
Whether it was Andy or not, Kieran didn't know.
But what Mary wanted to do, Kieran knew in his heart.
She wanted to know who her father was!
There were no traces of a so-called father in Swusters Castle but it didn't mean Mary didn't need one.
However, according to Kieran's guesses, Mary's mother was very cautious about her lover and never mentioned it to Mary.
So Mary had to resort to the dumbest method.
She wanted to see if Kieran looked like her.
Along the way, Mary had made such a comparison more than once.
Even Kieran, Mary had quietly compared herself to him.
Although Mary thought she was very discreet, she couldn't escape Kieran's eyes.
"Father?"
Kieran shook his head and turned around when he saw Mary frowning.
For Kieran who lost his parents when he was born, he wasn't good at dealing with such a scene.
All he could do was wait quietly.
Mary finally spoke after more than 10 minutes.
"Thank you, 2567!"
The girl thanked him.
Her face had a regretful look.
Mary's intuition would be terrifying if she could identify the two corpses that were beyond recognition and whether they looked like her or not.
With her talent, she wouldn't be too far off from a real shaman.
Following the thank you.
Sub Mission completed notification popped up.
[Sub Mission: Help! (Completed)]
"Where did the imperial envoy and your mother agree to meet in Tita Town?"
Kieran turned around and asked.
"In front of that big tree outside Tita Town …"
"What's wrong?"
Mary looked at Kieran with a puzzled expression.
Her sharp Intuition allowed her to clearly see the thoughts in Kieran's expression.
"I just thought of a hypothesis.
If the imperial envoy didn't mean any harm and was kind from the start, then … Why would he make the unnecessary move to meet your mother in front of that big tree outside Tita Town? "
Kieran said as he passed the pencil marked paper to Mary.
Mary took the paper and fell into deep thought.
Kieran's words didn't stop there.
He continued.
"The imperial envoy knew to use the convoy to attract the attention of some spies, so he must know what they were after!"
"Secret order?"
Mary said.
"That's right, the secret order!
"The secret order is what these people are after!"
And out of instinct, everyone will subconsciously think that the secret order is with him, and thus ignore everything else! "
"So, this imperial envoy played a little trick again. He used himself as bait to attract the attention of the rest of the people, then sent someone to secretly place the secret order somewhere to inform your mother."
Kieran said as he looked at the girl who was in deep thought.
"You are saying?"
Mary wasn't stupid.
Quite the opposite, the extremely smart girl immediately thought of something.
"That secret order should have been placed near that big tree outside Tita Town beforehand!"
Kieran voiced out his guess.
"But my mother …"
Mary wanted to say something, but before she could finish her sentence, she stopped.
The girl thought of Swusters Castle that was set ablaze.
She also thought of her mother's usual habits.
As a daughter, Mary was undoubtedly one of the people who understood her mother the most.
And because of this understanding, she had guessed something.
"Can I go with you?"
Mary asked in order to verify her guess.
"Of course!"
Kieran nodded and walked towards the big tree in his sight.
But …
Someone else was faster!
