Kieran exited the guest hall through a secret door at the edge of the hall.
Kieran followed Phandle along the winding path and eventually arrived in front of a tall tower.
The tall tower was built with white marble and some green vines were crawling 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 illusions?"
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 had not seen many members of the Templar, but it was not a small number either. Whether it was the Holy Knight Smulder or the ordinary Knight in reserve, every one of them had a straightforward fighting style. It was the first time Kieran had seen such a hidden technique in the Templar.
Unconsciously, Kieran thought of the old Knight, Guntherson.
He was also a Knight, and he was good at frontal attacks, but he had the skills of an assassin.
However, the guard before him was different from the old Knight Guntherson.
The old Knight Guntherson was forced to change his class.
As for the other party?
Without a doubt, he had been deliberately nurtured.
"Darkness under the light?"
Kieran thought to himself before turning his attention back to Phandle.
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.
Phandle's face was still as warm as ever when he saw Kieran's gaze.
"Hugh, go upstairs, Ohara is waiting for you there!"
Phandle then walked towards the entrance of the tower after saying that.
Obviously, Phandle didn't want to continue his journey with Kieran.
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.
"As I thought!"
If the staircase was truly connected to the whole tower, Phandle 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 truly connected to the whole tower, Kieran's attention was placed on the wooden door.
Behind the wooden door was no doubt Ohara.
Kieran couldn't help but take a deep breath as the image of the beautiful lady who went berserk appeared in his mind.
It wasn't an easy task to persuade a girl who had gone crazy because of her love.
Kieran stood in front of the wooden door, going through the few plans that he had prepared before knocking 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 door open.
A room filled with books appeared before Kieran.
The only decorations in the room were the bookshelves and the study table.
The rest were books, one by one, one by one, one by one, some in an orderly manner, some casually stacked.
Ohara was sitting in the middle of a pile of books, her hand holding a book with a black cover. When she saw Kieran enter the room, the deacon of the Sanctuary said slowly, "Did Phandle convince you?"
Her voice was calm.
It could even be described as cold.
Her expression was even showing a casual indifference.
She didn't have the frenzy and rage from when they first met.
However, it was Ohara in such a state that made Kieran frown.
Although when Kieran heard Ohara's reply before, he had a feeling that things would go beyond his expectations but after seeing Ohara's current state, Kieran realized that he was being overly optimistic.
Admittedly, it wasn't an easy task to persuade a girl who had gone 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 went crazy because of their love would at least blur their recognition of certain things. As long as Kieran could hold on to 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.
"Phandle?
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 am the reincarnation of that Holy Knight Hugh but from the looks of the deal, the one he cared about the most was you! "
"Do you know?
The Sanctuary is in big trouble now! Your collaborator is really out of our expectations, he caused Simon and Maya's ambush plan to fall into a quagmire and even dragged Smulder who had just woken up from his injuries into the mess. A war between the Sanctuary and the West Coast government is 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 the kind that specialized in combat but since she was able to become one of the three Archdeacons, would she be an idiot?
The answer was no.
Therefore, some lies and verbal tricks became redundant.
Lying and playing with verbal tricks would only raise alarm and disgust in Ohara's heart.
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.
