Schmidt was stunned when he saw the smile on Kieran's face and kept quiet.
The tacit understanding between both of them was enough for Schmidt to believe that Kieran must have his reasons for doing what he did.
Nicil was different though.
Nicil frowned and sized up Kieran with a doubtful gaze.
"What are you trying to do?"
Nicil asked.
"Of course I agree with your suggestion!
I also think Schmidt should have a certain level of self-protection! "
Kieran said with his smile.
Nicil's brows furrowed even tighter.
Kieran's current attitude was the complete opposite of what he showed before.
Could it be that Kieran did not see through his intentions?
The moment the thought popped up, Nicil discarded it away.
Even if Kieran did not see through it, Kieran must have heard what Schmidt said before.
Given such a premise …
Suddenly, Nicil thought of a possibility.
"Do you really think that just because you are treated as the reincarnation of Hugh the Holy Knight, you can truly enter the higher ranks of the Sanctuary?"
Nicil asked loudly.
His face was filled with vigilance.
Kieran couldn't help but smirk again when he saw how vigilant Nicil was.
"What else can I do?"
Kieran replied with a question as if he was joking.
"Let me tell you, it's impossible!
The higher ranks of the Sanctuary will not be fooled by you! "
Nicil said loudly.
Nicil had quite a lot of feelings for the Sanctuary.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have joined the organization and even become a deacon.
Therefore, in his anxiety, he didn't notice the ridicule and ridicule in Kieran's eyes.
Quite the opposite, Kieran used his own actions to express his opposition.
Nicil took two steps forward and stood in front of Kieran. His eyes stared at Kieran without blinking, his aged face had a heavy expression that wasn't present in the past.
"I will not let you have your way!"
Nicil said in a loud and clear voice.
"Then why are you still trying to recruit Schmidt?"
Kieran replied with a question.
"Because, because …"
Nicil's aura stagnated. He opened his mouth and wanted to explain himself, but he realized that he couldn't find any reason to explain himself.
After all, he was also in favor of the decision to rope Schmidt to their side and use him as a bridge to ease their relationship with Kieran.
However, he did not expect that Kieran would use this opportunity to enter the upper echelons of the Templars.
But, but...
But now, he was powerless to stop all this.
He could already imagine how many people would cheer if Kieran returned to the Sanctuary as Hugh's reincarnation.
Having a Saint Knight and having two Saint Knights would be two completely different concepts.
Especially under the current crisis.
Four to five seconds passed.
Nicil could not say a word.
Then, he sat down dejectedly beside the fire pit and sighed. The expression on his face was indescribably dejected.
Kieran was looking at the man's expression with interest.
So did Schmidt.
When Kieran asked the question, Schmidt knew Kieran would never enter the upper echelons of the Sanctuary but he was curious why Kieran would agree to learn the Sanctuary's secret techniques.
Did something happen?
Schmidt asked Kieran with his eyes.
"I think you need to have a certain level of self-protection!"
Kieran said seriously.
Schmidt's job had determined that he would always be in danger himself. Most of the time, firearms and some mystical means would be enough.
But now, it was different.
[Triggered Special Event: All-Out War!]
[Based on the influence of the player's previous special event, the player will be automatically assigned to an extra faction!]
[The battle between the West Coast government and the Sanctuary isn't over yet. After this ambush, it will be an all-out war. You who are involved in it will be treated with hostility by the West Coast government and kindness by the Sanctuary because of your previous actions. In the upcoming war, your influence on both sides will be your final rating!]
[Note: Influence includes but is not limited to destruction. The greater the influence, the higher the rating!]
...
The notification popped up when Kieran heard the conversation between Schmidt and Nicil.
While he was surprised by the West Coast government's power, Kieran naturally started to adjust his plans.
The most important factor was the people around him.
Kieran didn't want his actions to bring trouble to the people around him.
Among the people around him, the weakest one was Schmidt.
Kieran could imagine that with Schmidt's current methods, once he was targeted by the West Coast government, he would be crushed into pieces.
Especially with Schmidt's identity, it was too easy for the West Coast government to make a move.
Even if Kieran followed Schmidt closely, all it would take was a few grand orders from the government and it would be enough to send him and Schmidt into a deadly trap.
Kieran knew Schmidt's personality very well.
So, Kieran would never allow such a thing to happen.
Coincidentally, the Sanctuary had extended an olive branch to him and Kieran would never give it up.
Allowing Schmidt to stay on the Sanctuary Island to learn the secret techniques and at the same time, he could go and solve the [Special Event: All-Out War]. From Kieran's point of view, it was the best of both worlds.
However, some things couldn't be said out loud.
Looking at Schmidt's surprised gaze, Kieran uttered the words that he had prepared a long time ago.
"You are the leader of the Special Operation Division. You come in contact with people and things that normal people can't. Under such circumstances, there is a chance to become stronger in front of you. What reason do you have not to accept it?
Don't forget that you are not the only one in the Special Operation Division. You have partners and subordinates. You have to think about them! "
Kieran knew how to persuade Schmidt.
"But, you …"
The effect was obvious. Schmidt looked like he was moved but he was a little hesitant.
"Are you worried that I will be used by the Sanctuary because of you?
Don't worry!
The things that you are worried about will never happen, as long as I … "
Kieran purposely paused and hid the rest of his words. He looked at Nicil who reacted to his words and said word by word, "After all, we are not enemies!
Am I right, Deacon Nicil? "
A threat!
Nicil understood the deeper meaning behind Kieran's words.
Kieran wasn't an enemy, so what he was worried about wouldn't happen.
What if he was an enemy?
Of course, he wouldn't show mercy to Kieran.
Nicil's face showed a bitter smile.
However, Kieran's reply wasn't slow at all.
"Yes."
The Holy Church deacon replied.
After hearing Nicil's reply, Kieran looked at Schmidt again. Kieran hesitated for a second or two before nodding.
"I'll arrange it right away!"
Nicil then walked out of the room.
Nicil felt like he was on a roller coaster ride, he didn't want to stay a second longer.
Although according to a normal person's age, he was already an old man, according to the mystical realm's calculation, he was still very young, just in his prime.
He didn't want to die young!
Besides, for the sake of his future safety, Nicil decided to minimize his contact with Kieran.
The threat in Kieran's words earlier had made Nicil shudder in fear.
He knew Kieran would do what he said.
Therefore, Nicil walked quickly.
He even started to look for a successor in his heart to replace his contact with Kieran.
However, no matter how fast Nicil walked, he couldn't outrun Kieran's words.
"Wait!"
Kieran said.
"What else do you need?"
