The afternoon sun was a lot warmer than it was during noon.
It shone brightly on the world, causing people to feel drowsy after lunch.
St. Reid Hospital was even quieter.
Everyone was enjoying their afternoon nap amidst the rare tranquil atmosphere.
Kieran carefully searched around the hospital and finally stood in front of the [Sister Reid Statue] once more. His face was heavy as still water.
Gannett and the others who lied to him before were nowhere to be found.
Even the name 'Gannett' that he knew was fake.
Gannett was indeed the chief friar of the Marulyn Church and a respectable friar. However, the chief friar was the last leader of the Marulyn Church.
Just like what Hoskin said, the church was wiped out during the Hundred Years War.
All that was left was the [Sister Reid Statue] that was protected by the Holy Relic Society.
"Amnesia … What a convenient thing to do!"
Kieran mocked himself with a smile.
It was obvious that the enemies were exploiting his amnesia, that was why they dared to carry out such a ridiculous lie.
Anyone who had an understanding of the mystical realm would not be fooled by this.
After all, such a thing wasn't a secret in the mystical realm.
At least, many of the books that Kieran read before had mentioned such a thing.
Of course, the main reason was because of the Holy Relic Society's protection of the [Sister Reid Statue]. Incidentally, the Marulyn Church was mentioned as well.
Kieran looked at the merciful statue in front of him.
Other than the statue's current protector, the Holy Relic Society, popped up in his mind.
If it wasn't for the protection of the Holy Relic Society, the statue would have disappeared to god knows where, why would it be left here?
The Holy Relic Society, as the name suggested, was an alliance of churches that had the prefix of "Holy" in it.
At its peak, there were more than two hundred branch churches. However, after the hundred-year war with the Elder Council, there were less than forty of them left.
Still, the Holy Relic Society had a position no lower than the Elder Council in the current dungeon world.
In fact, in some areas, it was even better than that.
This was because the leaders of the Holy Relic Society were not lunatics.
"Is the fake Gannett from the Holy Relic Society?"
Completely subconsciously, Kieran thought.
But he could not confirm this guess.
Because even now, Kieran couldn't be sure what the other party wanted from him.
Acting alongside one of the Twenty Hounds of the Elder Council?
Trying to fool an amnesia patient like him?
No one would be so bored.
There must be some benefits that he did not understand.
However, the other party came and went without a trace, not leaving behind any valuable clues.
"Something's wrong!"
"There are clues left behind!"
Kieran frowned.
He took out the piece of paper from his pocket again.
It read: Donna's Bar, Mecathy and Borjane's Bookstore, Simi Candy House.
Among them, he had already experienced Mecathy and Borjane's bookstore.
That bookstore owner was an idiot who was blinded by the bounty from the Elder Council.
What would the other two places be?
Kieran had no idea.
But he knew if he wanted to know why the other party wanted to contact him, he would have to go to the other two places.
That was because there might be clues to its existence.
But if that was the case, he would surely fall into the other party's trap.
When he took the piece of paper with the three locations written on it, the other party was already plotting something in the dark that he didn't know about.
They were waiting for him to jump into their trap.
"An open scheme eh?"
Kieran took in a deep breath.
He didn't like to do things under the other party's control.
So, he made up his mind.
…
Augen Manor was much more stunning during the day than it was at night.
Whether it was the architectural style or the scale of the buildings.
It was different from the infiltration last night.
This time, Kieran visited the manor openly.
When Kieran came down from the taxi, the bodyguards of Augen Manor who saw him through the surveillance cameras appeared at the entrance.
"Mr. 2567?"
Even though he had confirmed Kieran's identity, the leading bodyguard still asked out of caution.
Kieran didn't have anything to hide, so he nodded right away.
"Please follow me!"
The bodyguard turned around and bowed.
The bronze fence gate slowly opened up and Kieran stepped into Augen Manor once more.
A slightly heavy welcoming car was parked in front of Kieran.
The leading bodyguard acted as the driver and brought Kieran to the main building of Augen Manor.
"This way please!"
The leading bodyguard opened the car door and bowed again.
Kieran who had sized up Augen Manor didn't stay any longer and pushed the door open right away.
Anne Aldrich Augen, who was wearing a white dress, looked at Kieran with a smile.
"Although we just parted in the morning, I still feel happy to see you again."
Anne Aldrich Augen said.
Judging from her expression, it was hard to tell whether she was telling the truth or not.
Kieran didn't bother to differentiate carefully.
He knew what he was here for.
Likewise, Kieran had quite the confidence in Anne Aldrich Augen as well.
After all, their relationship wasn't at the level where they could simply visit each other.
"Is it the joy of reaping rewards?"
Kieran asked.
"That depends on what you brought me!"
Anne Aldrich Augen then headed up to the second floor.
The main hall wasn't the place to discuss business.
The study room was.
Following behind Anne Aldrich Augen, Kieran once again felt that sharp gaze. He followed the gaze and saw the fighter named Mayer.
Mayer was standing under one of the pillars in the main hall.
He didn't hide in the shadows but a lot of people neglected his presence.
If it wasn't for Kieran's S + Intuition, it would be hard for him to notice Mayer.
"Some other kind of undercover ability?"
Kieran guessed.
"Mayer seems to be quite interested in you, 2567. He hoped to have a friendly spar with you. Should be sparring right?"
"The conversation between you fighters is really troublesome. It's obviously a spar but you have to use other words to replace it."
Anne Aldrich Augen said in a seemingly unintentional manner.
"You know, this kind of test is useless. Didn't you investigate my current condition?"
Kieran replied without leaving any traces, causing Anne Aldrich Augen to laugh softly.
"Amnesia?
Stop joking, no matter how well you hide it, I won't believe you! "
Anne Aldrich Augen swore.
"Believe me, you will believe me soon!"
