Sister Mony and Guntherson had completely different attitudes towards Kieran's request.
"Thank you, Detective Kieran!
But this is our problem. If you get involved, there will be a lot of trouble! "
Sister Mony rejected Kieran's offer with a smile.
"Mm, if you're sorry, you should apologize. You can't just say it!"
Guntherson nodded with a smile when he heard Kieran's words.
Then, he tried to persuade Sister Mony.
"Mo Ni, I have high hopes for him. Not only does he have good skills, he also has good character!"
Besides, didn't you say he was the best detective in the city?
Finding those bastards is exactly what he's good at! "
Guntherson's tone was getting serious.
He said, "Although we've organized our men, those bastards are hiding in the dark. We're all out in the open. Once those bastards lose their patience and a fight breaks out … I can't leave here because of my oath. Reed and the others will suffer heavy losses! What's more, no one can guarantee when those fellows will barge in — if it's during class … that kind of result is definitely not what we want! "
After Guntherson's persuasion, Sister Mony started to hesitate.
Not only because Guntherson held a high position in Sister Mony's heart, but also because what Guntherson said was the truth.
If something like that happened …
Sister Moni quickly shook her head.
She would never allow those greedy thugs to hurt her students.
"Detective Kieran, I'm counting on you!"
Sister Mony turned around and looked at Kieran seriously.
"Although I don't have enough money to hire you …"
"Sister Mony, I've said it before. This is my compensation. Since it's compensation, of course I won't charge you!"
Kieran interrupted Sister Mony's words and said, "But please tell me the ins and outs of the matter! The more detailed the better! "
"This is a long story. I'll go get some stools!"
Guntherson said as he took out three stools from the wooden hut.
After everyone sat down, Sister Money began to narrate the story.
"St. Paolo's School. Fifty years ago, it was called St. Paolo's Church. It was the church where the Goddess of Dawn first performed her miracle. About a thousand years ago, people treated it as a legend! In fact, even Guntherson and I don't know if it's true or not, but my teacher, the last Pope of the Church of Dawn, believes that it's all true, and he's looking forward to the Goddess' next miracle! "
"It's a pity that nothing happened until my teacher passed away! On the contrary, the power of the churches was constantly weakening. Not only the small Church of Dawn, even the largest Church of Light was not spared! People began to believe in the power of gunpowder, steam engines, and electricity. Knowledge was not only controlled by the Church, but also by more and more people! "
"However, in my opinion, this is a good thing. Because everyone has broken free from the shackles of darkness, becoming richer and more peaceful! This was the doctrine of the Church of Dawn! So, from the very beginning, I opened up the books of the Church of Dawn to some reputable scholars, and together with them, we turned St. Paolo's Church into St. Paolo's School! "
"From the original Saintess of Dawn, I became Sister Money, the Headmaster, and Guntherson, my Guardian Knight, became the last Knight of the Church of Dawn!"
Sister Money's tone was calm, and her voice was calm as she talked about the changes in St. Paolo's Church and her and Guntherson's change in identity.
That calm tone and her voice sounded like she was talking about a stranger who had nothing to do with her.
However, Kieran, who was sitting beside her, could feel a faint sadness from the two of them.
It wasn't just the change in their emotions.
It was also the change in history.
The wheel of history could not be stopped, it could only go with the flow.
The heart was weak, and all that was left was sadness.
Because those who obstructed him would definitely be crushed under the wheels of history.
Guntherson being the last Knight of the Church of Dawn was enough to explain everything.
Where did the rest of the Knight go?
Even if they died of old age, illness, or accidents, there shouldn't be only one Knight left.
Judging from Guntherson's vigor, which was comparable to others in their prime, Kieran knew that the Knight of the Church of Dawn had lived a lot longer than normal people.
The change of the era was accompanied by bloodshed.
The conservative camp was broken by the revolutionary camp.
It wasn't something that could be achieved with just a few words.
In Kieran's mind, he was already imagining those conservative Knight who were unwilling to accept the changes of the new era and launched a charge.
They faced rows and rows of muskets and cannons, riding their horses and launching the most dazzling charge of their lives.
Dazzling but short.
And it was just a small group of the purest of them.
The changes of the new era must have affected countless people.
In the end, the outcome was clear.
Kieran kept quiet. The weight of history prevented him from simply speaking.
Even though it wasn't the history he was familiar with.
Sister Mony and Guntherson were also quiet, as if they were reminiscing about the past.
After a while, Sister Mony came back to her senses.
"I'm sorry, I've been thinking about the past. I've been thinking about the past.
And the things that have caused us trouble are also the things that happened back then. "
Sighing, Sister Moni continued her story.
"Although the Church of Dawn was just a small church, not even a tenth of the Church of Light, they still had a thousand years of accumulation, whether it was knowledge or wealth.
"My teacher, the last Pope of the Church of Dawn, hoped that the Church of Dawn could rise again, so he hid the wealth!"
"But Master hid this fortune too well … Even Guntherson and I didn't know about it!"
"Maybe Guntherson and I let him down, so he didn't tell us, but told someone else!"
"But in the end, that batch of wealth completely disappeared!"
Just when Guntherson and I were about to forget about it, a group of people suddenly came to me, hoping that I could tell them the whereabouts of the wealth. They promised to bring the Church of Dawn back to the world.
"I refused them, but they persevered, and their methods became more and more outrageous!"
That's why Reed was so nervous when he saw you. "
Sister Moni expressed her apologies once again.
"So that's how it is!"
Kieran was enlightened.
"What rebuilding the Church of Dawn? It's just a bunch of greedy bastards who somehow got their hands on the secrets of the Church of Dawn!
"Don't say that we don't know. Even if we knew, we wouldn't tell them!"
If it wasn't for the oath that kept me from leaving this place, I would have taught those greedy bastards what it means to die! "
Guntherson clenched his fist angrily.
He looked extremely angry.
Kieran would never doubt Guntherson's words.
The previous fight had given Kieran a deep understanding of Guntherson's strength. If it was just hand-to-hand combat, he would not be a match for Guntherson.
Guntherson's strong physique and special techniques were definitely better than Kieran's.
Not only did Guntherson have a strong physique and hand-to-hand combat techniques, but he was also no stranger to weapons.
From the weapons that Altilly Hunter had seen, Kieran knew that the last Knight of the Church of Dawn was no stranger to firearms.
He should even be quite familiar with them.
Guntherson had a strong physique, knew martial arts, and knew how to use firearms. If Guntherson wanted to kill someone, the latter would have to pray that Guntherson did not find him.
"What are the characteristics of these people?"
Kieran asked.
"They snuck in here and covered their faces. Only two of them appeared in front of me. I don't know if there are more!"
Sister Mony shook her head. She could not provide any more clues.
"Fine, leave the rest to me. I promise I'll find them in the shortest time possible! "
Kieran did not expect to get any more information from Sister Mony. If those people wanted to find the treasure of the Church of Dawn, they would be prepared.
Still, that did not stop Kieran from accepting the Sub Mission.
[Sub Mission Unlocked: The Watcher]
[Sub Mission: A group of unknown people have discovered the secret treasure of the Church of Dawn. They want to get their hands on it through Sister Mony! You promised Sister Mony that you would find these people and save the school from any accidents!]
Kieran looked at the Sub Mission notification.
Compared to the first Sub Mission, the difficulty of the current Sub Mission was more than double.
Not only could he not confirm the number of people, but he also could not locate their whereabouts.
Other than waiting for them to show up, Kieran had no better idea.
However, Kieran did not show any signs of being in a difficult position.
He smiled and bid farewell to Sister Mony and Guntherson.
Of course, in order to avoid the trouble of bumping into the security captain, Kieran entered [Undercover] mode again.
This time, it was different from when he first entered.
He had gotten Sister Mony's permission.
After leaving St. Paolo School and the street where the school was located, Kieran tidied up his clothes and walked out of the shadows with the [Viper-M1] box on his back.
Kieran did not call for a carriage.
The street was not far from where he lived.
Looking at the darkening sky, Kieran decided to walk back and buy some food.
He had not eaten for the whole day.
