Looking at the [Sister Reid Statue], Kieran's mind was spinning rapidly.
How did Damien know the late Chief Friar of Marulyn Church so well?
Or in other words, what kind of reason would allow one of the infamous Twenty Hounds of the Elder Council to know so much about a church that vanished in the long river of history?
Benefits!
It was the simplest and most truthful answer.
Then …
What kind of benefits would it be?
Some kind of powerful item?
Or some kind of inheritance that could move one's heart?
Such speculations popped up in Kieran's mind almost instinctively and it made Kieran's heart burn.
Because other than those, Kieran couldn't think of anything else that would make Damien willing to risk the war between the Elder Council and the Holy Relic Society just to touch the [Sister Reid Statue].
Even though the Elder Council was infamous for being crazy, Kieran believed those who were deemed as crazy weren't idiots.
An idiot wouldn't become an existence that everyone feared.
Let alone the ones who feared the statue originated from the mystical realm.
So, the [Sister Reid Statue] must have some kind of secret.
A secret that could be known by resonating with the [Sister Reid Statue]!
"The fake Gannett hasn't been captured for a long time, yet he was able to resonate with the statue's power. So, this secret technique shouldn't be complicated. It might even be very simple, but it would still restrict people like Damien …"
Kieran was thinking and slightly frowning.
Even though he speculated that the secret technique wasn't complicated, it was still hard for him to do it.
That was because he had no idea what a secret skill was.
Was it a combination of incantations and hand gestures or some kind of ritual … Wait, ritual?!
Suddenly, Kieran thought of the scene in the illusory realm.
When the friars prayed to the statue, the statue changed.
Although it was a half-real, half-fake illusory realm, similar to how Damien imitated Gannett, who could guarantee that it wasn't the truth hidden within the falsehood?
"Oh, Saint Reid! We pray for your light to dispel the darkness! "
"Oh, Saint Reid! We pray for your light to shine upon the weak! "
"Oh, Saint Reid! We pray for your light to bring peace again! "
…
Kieran stood in front of the [Sister Reid Statue] and prayed softly.
The prayer came from the illusion that night, so it was not comprehensive.
No matter what, Kieran would never say the words' We are willing to sacrifice our lives to beg you! '.
Although Kieran was very excited about the possibility of items and legacies, it didn't make Kieran forget himself.
Damien would always choose a captive to complete this resonance. Perhaps it was because Damien had a conflict with the statue's power, but it was more likely that he had paid a price for it.
Under such circumstances, Kieran would not be careless.
The prayer came out of Kieran's mouth very clearly.
However, [Sister Reid Statue] didn't change at all.
The statue was still looking forward with pity.
No response?
Could it be that they had to learn from those 'cultivators' and kneel down?
Kieran frowned again.
Kieran hated the ritual of kneeling down.
In fact, the first time he knew 'kneeling down to one's parents is the law of heaven', the disgust was implanted in his heart.
He was an orphan.
The moment he came to this world, he was abandoned.
If it wasn't for someone discovering him in time, he would have died in that box.
If he was lucky, he could be buried in peace.
If he was unlucky, he would become food for the wild dogs.
No doubt, the latter had a higher chance.
He didn't know why his parents abandoned him.
He didn't want to know either.
All he knew was …
He would never kneel down in his life.
Dong, Dong, Dong.
His brand new heart was beating strongly.
The warm Dawn Force seemed to be infected by Kieran's stubborn emotions, it suddenly sped up its circulation and completed a full cycle in Kieran's body at twice the normal speed.
Immediately, spots of faint light appeared on Kieran's hands.
Wung!
Just when Dawn Force appeared on Kieran's hands, the statue before him suddenly trembled.
A layer of light visible to the naked eye appeared on the surface of the statue.
Then …
The light was dazzling and a mirage appeared on top of the statue.
Sister Reid who was glowing was looking at Kieran with a smile.
The love and compassion didn't change.
It was getting more and more real.
It wasn't the coldness of the statue anymore, it was real.
Kieran was stunned.
It wasn't because of the mirage's expression but because a map appeared in his mind!
After a slight pause, the mirage swiftly vanished.
The statue returned to its original state.
There weren't any changes in the system either.
Kieran didn't feel anything resonating with the statue either.
However, in Kieran's mind, a map did appear.
An ancient map that was different from the one he had before, it was marked with a statue.
The statue was very clear, it was Sister Reid's statue.
However, Kieran was sure the marked location wasn't the St. Reid Hospital where he was.
The map had the hospital's mark on it.
"Dawn Force can resonate with the statue?"
Kieran was astonished as he looked at the map in his mind.
Doubts rose up in his heart.
However, Kieran knew this wasn't the place to think.
As the sky brightened, someone would soon appear in the main hall.
So, when Kieran tried multiple times but failed to trigger any changes in the statue, even Dawn Force didn't work, he chose to leave right away.
"Chelsea, I need to walk around, you go back first."
Kieran said to the female secretary who was waiting outside the hospital.
"Okay.
Please don't forget the promise you made with the boss. "
The secretary reminded Kieran.
"Dinner, right?
I won't forget! "
Kieran said with a smile and headed straight to the direction of Winchester House.
It wasn't trying to cover up.
It was the marked location of the statue, it was here.
Although it was an ancient map, with St. Reid Hospital as a point of reference, Kieran was still able to make out the general direction.
Under the morning light, Kieran was strolling along the streets of Edland City.
He would stop from time to time and look around.
After a while, he continued his steps.
It was a little strange in the eyes of those who were jogging in the morning.
Because Kieran didn't look like he was looking for something.
He should lower his head if he was looking for something.
Kieran, on the other hand, looked like he was looking into the distance.
However, those people would only throw strange gazes at Kieran when they brushed past him.
Plus, each time Kieran brushed past them, he would return the smile and those people would reply with the same smile before continuing their training.
Soon enough, they forgot about Kieran's strange behavior.
Of course, there were some who wouldn't.
Like Teresa, the chief officer.
After a sharp screech of brakes, Teresa's car stopped beside Kieran. She got off the car and stood in front of Kieran.
"Still searching for your memory?
Why don't I help you recall … the new boss of Winchester House, Mr. 2567? "
