Kieran grabbed Lander's wrist and tightened his grip a little.
The pain made Lander's face twitch, but he held it in and didn't cry out in pain. All he did was look at Kieran with a confused and angry gaze.
"I'm sorry!
Please forgive my rashness. Some things have happened that forced me to be vigilant. "
Kieran apologized.
"Vigilance?"
Lander raised his hand and showed his bruised wrist to Kieran. He then said, "If this can lower your vigilance, I don't mind. But, of course, you know where Harold is!"
At the end of his words, Lander's tone was fierce.
Even though he had lowered his voice, it was still intimidating.
Of course, that was only for a commoner.
For Kieran, it was nothing compared to the movement of the wind caressing his face.
As for the threat in his words?
Kieran didn't even take it to heart.
He had a lot of ways to keep himself safe and sound.
However, Kieran was very apologetic about his sudden probing.
Despite all sorts of reasons behind it.
So, after a slight sigh, Kieran summarized his words and said, "In fact …"
He was ready to tell Lander everything he knew about Harold.
However, just as the words left his mouth, Kieran clearly heard a heartbeat getting closer.
The person was moving closer to the wagon.
He was very careful and vigilant.
The bodyguards around him didn't notice anything wrong.
Or rather …
Since Lander was one of the bodyguards, he wouldn't have attracted the attention of his colleagues.
"Night race?
Or? "
In an instant, Kieran was certain that the man was up to no good.
After all, Harold's former wagoner and bodyguard, the man named Bill, was also a Night race.
So, the words at the tip of Kieran's tongue turned into...
"In fact, I know where Harold is. He is with Herbert and is safe! The reason why I'm here is to look for some food and medicine … After all, as you know, Herbert has run into some trouble. Even if Pierre is trying his best to deal with it, accidents will still happen! "
Although it was a lie, Kieran made it up based on the facts.
Herbert was a wanted fugitive, so the situation was naturally not good. There was a high chance that he would be ambushed, and in the event of an ambush, the only person who would be able to step forward bravely was Pierre.
Of course, it could also be Keyes, Joanna's driver and bodyguard.
Kieran couldn't be sure which one it was, or rather, both.
Therefore, he purposely hid the specific process and only spoke vaguely.
Such a description immediately made Lander nervous.
"Is Harold alright?"
Lat asked anxiously.
"I told you, it's safe!"
"Otherwise, I wouldn't be here!"
Kieran continued his lie.
"I will arrange it immediately!"
"Return to my mansion now?"
Lander asked Kieran.
"The guest follows the host's wishes."
Kieran smiled and nodded.
After that, there was no more conversation in the carriage. Lander was worried about Harold and Kieran was perfecting his plan.
A plan that appeared in Kieran's mind because of the eavesdropper.
Where was Herbert hiding?
No one would know.
However, based on Lander's current behavior, Herbert was just as Kieran guessed, very well hidden. Even Lander, who had quite the influence in Herl City, couldn't find him.
Lander was worried about his son, so one could imagine the number of men he had mobilized to search for Herbert.
Lander had mobilized a lot of men but to no avail. Kieran didn't think he could surpass the number limit and locate Herbert.
Maybe all the men he had gathered together wouldn't even be enough for him to fight with one hand.
However, when it came to searching for someone, the more the better.
Besides, after Kieran saw Lander, he had a guess: Herbert might not even be in Herl City!
The reason why the current dungeon world had the suffix of a world was because of its vastness and the completeness of its history and culture. Every time Kieran went through the main mission, he would only get in touch with a small part of it. He couldn't and didn't have the time to get in touch with other places.
In simple words, if Herbert really wasn't in Herl City, searching for him would be like searching for a needle in a haystack.
Kieran believed that if his hypothesis was correct, he wouldn't be able to locate Herbert at all.
So, could he ask Herbert to come to him?
When the eavesdropper appeared, the first thing Kieran thought of was how to lure out the person behind the eavesdropper.
Then, the thought spread out.
Based on Kieran's understanding of Herbert, he wasn't an old-fashioned old man, he wouldn't stick to the rules and guard a piece of land.
If there was a better and safer way, Herbert wouldn't reject it.
More so, Herbert trusted Kieran a lot.
Traveling together in [Ancient City Unusual Object] dungeon, going through thick and thin together, even going through life and death situations, had forged a deep friendship between both of them.
If Herbert got the news that Kieran was safe and sound, he would definitely ask about it.
"Do I have to announce my return?"
Kieran leaned back in his seat and muttered in his heart.
Groom, Groom Groom Groom.
The wagon wheels rolled over the pebbles on the ground and drove into a courtyard in Herl City. The black iron gate was pushed open swiftly by two servants.
The wagon went around a wide square and stopped in front of the main building's gate.
Lander hurriedly jumped off the carriage and called for the butler before he quickly entered the carriage.
Kieran came down from the wagon and glanced over the wagon full of bodyguards behind him. He then looked at the many servants in the courtyard.
"God knows how many bastards with ulterior motives are there!"
Kieran exclaimed in his heart.
Most of the Night monsters weren't that powerful to Kieran, but their ability to hide themselves and transform into humans was something he couldn't do anything about.
Other than knowing that pain couldn't keep the Night monsters in their original forms, Kieran couldn't tell the difference between humans and the Night monsters.
"A higher level of Intuition or some distinguishing skills might work!"
Kieran guessed.
Regardless of which, it wasn't something he could achieve with his current strength.
"Maybe I can make use of what I know …"
Kieran thought.
As for finding other ways to differentiate the Night monsters?
Maybe Herbert, who was well-versed in the history of the Neegor Dynasty and knew all kinds of legends, might be able to find some clues from some of the fragments but Kieran couldn't.
He wasn't belittling himself.
It was just a fact that was formed after a long period of accumulation.
"Good day, Hon. 2567, the master ordered me to bring you to the study room, please follow me!"
A servant came out and bowed at Kieran. He then raised his hand to lead the way and walked inside.
Kieran followed behind.
However, the moment he stepped on the stairs, Kieran's body paused for a moment.
