Even because of [Special Event: War of the Sons], the meeting between Kieran and the Duke of Zilin had become inevitable.
However, the timing would depend on the Prairie King's actions.
Fire Raven spread its wings and flew up to the cliff of Herr Valley with a raise of its hand. Its eyes were sharper than a hawk's, watching every move of the Prairie main camp.
Even though Kieran's Intuition had reached SS +, compared to the gifted Fire Raven, it was still a far cry.
More so, Kieran didn't have the time to split his attention to another matter.
That was the benefit of having a team.
The division of labor was clear and everyone had their own responsibilities.
No matter how well-rounded and powerful a lone wolf was, unless one had a true clone skill, it would be hard to compete with a team.
Fortunately, Kieran realized the problem early on and acquired Fire Raven, forming a special team of a man and a raven.
In fact, if it wasn't for Fire Raven's cooperation in this dungeon world, Kieran wouldn't have been able to attend to Riverdale at the same time.
"Fire Raven sure is convenient!"
Maxim couldn't hold back his exclamation when he saw Fire Raven fly up the cliff.
As the recorder of the Raven Sect, he knew how powerful Fire Raven was in certain aspects and had always been in awe of it.
"Mary's mother, Lady Ellen, what position does she hold in the Raven Sect?"
Kieran asked.
Celty's words from before were enough to pique Kieran's interest in Mary's mother's identity.
"Ellen?
She used to be the First Seat of the Raven Sect! "
Maxim let out a sigh and continued to speak.
"First Seat?"
Kieran was stunned.
Obviously, the identity of Mary's mother had exceeded his expectations.
In "Words of Sects", there was an explanation for the First Seat. The First Seat was the title given to the disciple with the best talents within each sect and also the successor of each sect.
Such a person would be assassinated by assassins from other sects?
Even if it was a surprise attack …
Unconsciously, Kieran looked at Maxim, his eyes were filled with doubts.
He had hidden ambitions in the dark and wanted to take over the position of Raven Sect leader, so he was quite the suspect.
"Even if I want the Crown Raven's position, I will never make a move on Ellen. Back then when the Crown Raven went missing, we did something very wrong to her … Besides, Ellen who has lost her position as the First Seat won't be a threat to me."
"Moreover, if I wanted to make a move, I definitely wouldn't wait that long!"
The Raven Sect Recorder waved his hand.
However, Kieran's suspicion did not lessen at all.
Feeling guilty for doing something wrong to Ellen?
Perhaps it was true.
However, to kill someone because he felt guilty and erased that guilt, that was understandable.
As for waiting for a long time?
The right time was not easy to come by.
It was necessary to wait.
However, Kieran didn't pursue the matter.
What he was more interested in was what Maxim and the others had done to Ellen.
This was the root of the problem.
It was an important judgment to determine whether Maxim was involved in Ellen's murder.
"What did you do to Ellen?"
Kieran asked directly.
"Because of the Crown Raven's disappearance, Ellen who was already the First Seat naturally became the leader of the Raven Sect. However, although Ellen's strength was one of the best among the disciples, compared to a real master, she was still a little lacking. Plus her age, we forced her to abdicate!"
"At first, we only wanted Ellen to give up her position as the First Seat but she resisted fiercely and gained the support of many younger disciples, so it became hard to resolve the situation in a short period of time."
Maxim couldn't continue after that.
Kieran couldn't hold back his cold laugh when he saw Maxim's ashamed face.
Kieran's mind started to clear up the sequence of events that happened in the Raven Sect.
A bunch of people with hidden ambitions, after losing their restraints, forced the Crown Raven Sect to abdicate in order to gain more authority. However, it turned into a messy battle, resulting in a large number of disciples and masters dying, causing the entire sect to fall apart.
Then, they gathered together in the name of searching for the Crown Raven but they were still united on the surface but they were actually divided.
They were even forced to compromise with Kieran, the imposter.
As Kieran slowly understood the reason behind it, the doubts in his heart grew stronger.
Maybe it wasn't Maxim who did it.
But what about the others?
What about the others who failed in their fight for authority?
"Was Ellen severely injured in that messy battle?"
Kieran started to guide the topic.
"Yes, Ellen was indeed severely injured but as the First Seat of the Raven Sect, Ellen was proficient in potioneering, those injuries wouldn't affect her for a long period of time."
Maxim nodded.
When Celty was poisoned but he appeared a day later as if nothing had happened, Kieran had a general idea about the potioneering that the Raven Sect mastered.
Of course, it wasn't because of the potioneering itself.
It was because of the curse!
The [Dispel Potion] that Ellen left behind by Mary's mother was still fresh in Kieran's mind. It was also one of the goals that he set when he entered the current dungeon world: to find a curse dispeller to remove the curse.
"I know!
I've consumed the [Dispel Potion] that Ellen left behind before, so is there anything else in the Raven Sect that can remove curses? "
Kieran asked curiously.
"The [Dispel Potion] is the best cure for curses in the Raven Sect.
The Raven Sect is proficient in fire, not potions or curses. Ghastly Woods is very proficient in it but … "
Maxim smiled bitterly as he spoke.
"What's wrong?"
Kieran frowned.
"You killed Jeanne James, she was the First Seat of Ghastly Woods Sect. Even though she wasn't recognized by everyone, her identity was real. So, even if my lord wants to seek help from Ghastly Woods Sect, it's impossible. All you can do is seek help from the witches in the Hidden Lands. They are also experts in curses."
Maxim's answer made Kieran's brows furrow even tighter.
He had never thought that Jenny James had such an identity.
However, when he recalled the battle with Jeanne and the items like [Karma Doll] at the end, it all became reasonable.
"Warren doesn't just have the Raven Sect and Snake school, it even has the Ghastly Woods Sect?"
Kieran muttered to himself.
"Of course, just because of resources, all the other sects wouldn't be separated from the nobles and royals!"
Maxim explained.
Kieran nodded in a noncommittal manner and ordered Maxim to gather his men as soon as possible. After that, he ended the slightly long but unsatisfactory conversation.
"Ghastly Woods Sect?"
Kieran mumbled to himself, but he quickly calmed himself down.
He knew it wasn't the time to think about all these. He took out four skill books from [Crimson Ghost Stomach] and placed them in front of him.
Three of them were green but the scrolls were purple.
