Chapter 459

Kieran exited the guest hall through a secret door at the edge of the hall.

Kieran followed Phandle along the winding path and arrived in front of a tall tower.

The tall tower was built with white marble and some green vines were climbing along the cracks on the wall, mixed with patches of moss.

Everything was exactly the same as what Kieran knew of a tall tower.

Except …

The height!

Kieran raised his head, trying to locate the top of the tall tower.

However, even with his eyesight, he couldn't pinpoint it.

All he could see was the white tower piercing through the clouds and disappearing into the sky.

Kieran didn't conceal his astonishment as he sized up the tall tower that seemed to connect the sky and the earth.

He was sure that he didn't see this tall tower when he first arrived at the Sanctuary Island.

In fact, with the height of the tall tower, he didn't even need to land on the island, he could see it clearly from the sea.

"Is it covered up by an illusion?"

Kieran speculated in his heart, trying to guess the origin and purpose of the tall tower.

After all, even for the mystical realm, it wasn't an easy task to build a tower that could conceal itself. After building such a tall tower, it must have its own purpose.

As for imprisoning people?

Stop joking.

A dungeon was much easier to build than such a tall tower.

"What could it be?"

Kieran wondered.

Kieran didn't stop his steps though, following behind Phandle. He pushed open the old wooden door and entered the tall tower.

The moment he stepped over the threshold, Kieran clearly felt a gaze sweeping over him.

Although it was just a flash, the vigilance of the gaze was obvious.

"Guards!"

Kieran looked at the shadowy spot inside the tall tower with interest.

The identity of the shadowy spot was unquestionable.

However, what piqued Kieran's interest was the shadowy spot's undercover techniques.

Kieran hadn't seen a lot of Sanctuary members but it wasn't few either. Whether it was the Holy Knight Smulder or the common Knight in reserve, everyone's battle techniques leaned towards being straightforward. It was the first time Kieran saw a shadowy spot like this in the Sanctuary.

Unconsciously, Kieran thought of the old Knight Guntherson.

Guntherson was also a Knight who was good at frontal attacks and had quite the assassin's techniques.

However, the shadowy spot was different from the old Knight Guntherson.

The old Knight Guntherson was forced to change his profession.

As for the shadowy spot?

No doubt it was purposely trained.

"The darkness under the light?"

Kieran thought in his heart. Then he turned his attention back to Fandle.

If Kieran had to choose where the Sanctuary's dark side would grow, it would be the first choice.

His shamelessness and lack of a bottom line were in line with this point.

Fandle's face was still warm when he saw Kieran's gaze.

"Hugh, go upstairs, Ohara is waiting for you there!"

After saying that, he walked towards the entrance of the tower.

It seemed like Fandle didn't want to travel with Kieran anymore.

Kieran squinted his eyes and went up the only staircase that led to the upper floors of the tower. When he turned a corner, the staircase stopped abruptly and there was only a wooden door beside it. Kieran wasn't surprised at all.

"I knew it!"

If the staircase was really connected to the whole tower, Fandle wouldn't have let Kieran come up alone.

However, whether the staircase before him was concealed by some means or there was another staircase that was connected to the whole tower, Kieran's attention was placed on the wooden door.

Behind the wooden door was no doubt Ohara.

His mind was picturing the crazy expression of the beautiful lady with an unknown age. Kieran couldn't help but take a deep breath.

It wasn't an easy task to persuade a lady who was crazy because of her love.

Kieran stood in front of the wooden door, going through the few plans that he had prepared before he knocked on the door.

Dok, Dok Dok.

The wooden door gave out a clear sound when Kieran's fingers knocked on it.

"Come in!"

Out of Kieran's expectation, the person inside the room replied.

Kieran knocking on the door was just a habit of etiquette, he didn't expect a self-isolating person to respond.

Surprised, Kieran pushed the wooden door open.

A room filled with books appeared before Kieran.

The only decorations were the bookshelves and the study table.

The rest were books, stacks after stacks, either in an orderly fashion or casually stacked.

Ohara was sitting in the middle of a pile of books, holding a black book in her hand. When she saw Kieran enter the room, the deacon of the Sanctuary said slowly, "Did Fandle convince you?"

Her voice was calm.

It could even be described as cold.

His expression was one of indifference and casualness.

She didn't have the frenzy and rage that she had when they first met.

However, it was Ohara's state that made Kieran frown.

Although when Kieran heard Ohara's reply before, he had a feeling that things would go beyond his expectations, after seeing Ohara's current state, Kieran realized that he was being overly optimistic.

Admittedly, it wasn't an easy task to persuade a lady who was crazy because of her love.

But would it be easy to persuade a person who was in a calm state?

It might be even harder!

A person who was crazy because of her love would at least blur her recognition of certain things. As long as one could grasp onto her feelings and communicate with her, although it would be difficult, it wasn't impossible.

However, once the crazy person calmed down, the situation would change drastically.

His clear judgment was enough for him to build up layers of mental defense system, preventing him from communicating with words again and again.

More importantly, judging from Ohara's questions, none of the plans that Kieran had prepared beforehand could be used anymore.

Kieran's mind was spinning rapidly while Ohara was speaking bluntly.

At the same time, his mouth didn't say anything.

"Fandle?

That shameless bastard might have refreshed my definition of shameless but from a certain aspect, his bottomless line left a deep impression on me. I agreed to talk to him and he gave me all the records about the Halo of Thorns in the Hall of Legacy.

Even though he claimed that I was the reincarnation of that Holy Knight Hugh but judging from the deal, the one he cared about the most was you!

Do you know?

The Sanctuary is in big trouble now! That collaborator of yours is really unexpected. He caused Simon and Mayer's ambush plan to fall into a quagmire. He even dragged Smulder, who has just woken up from his injuries, into the mess. A war between the Sanctuary and the West Coast government is now unavoidable! "

Kieran's perfunctory words slowly turned into a narration.

Soon enough, Kieran realized that the woman before him wasn't any common person.

Ohara, one of the three Archdeacons of the Sanctuary.

Maybe she wasn't a professional fighter but since she was able to become one of the three Archdeacons, how could she be an idiot?

The answer was no.

Therefore, some lies and verbal tricks became redundant.

Lying and playing with verbal tricks would only make Ohara vigilant and disgusted.

Rather than creating negative effects, might as well speak the truth.

Maybe there would still be a glimmer of hope.

However, Kieran had underestimated Ohara's resistance.

"What does it have to do with me?

"If you're done, please leave this place!"

"It's not a good thing for a reincarnated Holy Knight to be together with a prisoner who committed a huge crime!"

Ohara said.

Kieran furrowed his brows.
