Everything before his eyes was too strange!
The sudden closure of the entrance, the burning fire, the unusual aroma from the fire and the door at the end of the passageway were all too natural. There wasn't even time for one to think, it was as if the person who entered the passageway would instinctively rush towards the only exit, the door at the end of the passageway!
Especially the unusual aroma from the fire.
It was very dense!
Even a common man could clearly smell it, let alone Kieran who had S + Intuition.
It had completely violated the rule that poison should be soundless, colorless and odorless.
On top of that, the poison itself wasn't instantly lethal.
"Damn it, hallucinating …"
After the -1 debuff, Kieran's Grand Master [Medical and Medicinal Knowledge] allowed him to easily identify the components of the poison.
Although smelling it for a long period of time would cause negative reactions, it was only for those with average Constitution. For Kieran who had higher than A Constitution, the poison couldn't really cause any damage.
It was hard to cause real damage yet the smell was obvious …
"Is it to lure the person who entered the passageway to open the stone door?"
As if he felt the killing intent behind the door, Kieran carefully took two steps back, distancing himself from the door.
It seemed like the door was the key to the trap.
Whether it was the sudden closure of the entrance or the unusual aroma of the poison, they were all part of the trap. Their existence was to lure the person who entered the passageway to open the door.
Or more precisely, the last chief friar of Marulyn Church wanted to provide a form of insurance for the heir who didn't appear.
Thinking back to the era of war, what kind of situation wouldn't happen?
Even if the heir was kidnapped, it wasn't impossible!
If such a situation happened, the passageway would be the heir's escape route.
"If the heir was kidnapped, he would need to use the moment the door was opened to escape. The range of movement isn't that big, it should be near the stone door!
"Also, if he was really kidnapped, the kidnapper might have asked the 'heir' to open the stone door for safety reasons!"
"In other words, the real 'door' is near the trap door!"
Kieran looked at the gap on both sides of the trap door.
The gap wasn't big but it was enough for a person to go through sideways.
Then …
Left or right?
Kieran frowned.
He didn't think anyone could enter the secret chamber where Marulyn's legacy was stored.
Even though the Marulyn Church had a good reputation, the last Head Friar would never be merciful when it came to matters that would affect the revival of his church.
The appearance of the Trapdoor was the best example.
Although Kieran didn't know what was behind the trap door, he was sure that it wasn't something worth looking forward to.
Now that one Trap Door had appeared, would another one appear?
It was very likely to appear!
Kieran's mind was picturing the scene that would have happened.
The 'heir' who was held hostage took advantage of the moment the other party opened the 'trap door' or was forced to open the 'trap door' to enter the real entrance.
Then, the real entrance was sealed!
So, what would the hostage-takers do?
Naturally, it was to find a way to enter.
They had arrived at the door where the Marulyn Church's legacy was stored. No one would give up in times like this.
The 'trap door' and the gap on the other side would become the hostage-takers' main focus. Once they searched the gap, they would fall into another deadly trap.
If the hostage-takers were more vicious, they could even design the trap so that when the real entrance was sealed from the inside, the hostage-takers would launch an attack that could annihilate any life within the passageway!
Kieran's brows furrowed even tighter as he guessed the possible scenarios.
It might seem like a 50% chance but it was almost a 100% chance of death. Kieran wouldn't simply take the risk.
Especially when he had other ways to deal with the situation.
Specks of white light gathered on Kieran's hands.
The faint Dawn Force was emanating its own aura.
A kind of indomitable aura.
Kieran didn't forget that he accidentally triggered the transformation of Sister Reid's statue.
Although the transformation was just a one-time thing and nothing else happened after that, the situation before his eyes didn't stop Kieran from trying again.
Wung!
The moment the Dawn Force appeared, Kieran clearly felt the tremble behind the left gap of the trap door.
Without a second thought, Kieran walked towards the gap on the left.
Without much effort, the moment Kieran's hand touched the wall of the gap, the whole wall vanished. A powerful suction force appeared and sucked Kieran into it.
Then, the wall appeared again.
What followed was a thicker and more unusual aroma.
If the unusual aroma that Kieran picked up before was 1, when the wall appeared again, the unusual aroma increased to 100!
Moreover, the concentration was still increasing.
Everything was just as Kieran expected.
However, Kieran didn't have the time to care about all that at the moment.
After he was sucked into the wall, his body started to spin rapidly as if he was stuffed into a washing machine with the highest output.
The familiar feeling reminded Kieran of the first time he went to Broker's secret bazaar but it was much more intense than that time.
Kieran clenched his teeth hard, not allowing himself to vomit.
However, the feeling of dizziness was getting stronger and stronger.
Kieran didn't know how much longer he could hold on.
Seconds turned into minutes and just when Kieran couldn't hold on any longer, the spinning stopped.
It stopped all of a sudden!
Kieran's feet also landed on the ground.
However, the lingering spinning sensation made Kieran stagger.
After more than 10 seconds, Kieran finally steadied himself.
Shaking his head to rid the last bit of dizziness from his mind, Kieran sized up the place he was at.
It wasn't a big room.
Less than 20 square meters.
The room was empty, only the statue of Sister Reid that Kieran carried over was placed in the middle of the room and in front of the statue was a table that looked like an offering table and a study desk at the same time.
However, it wasn't what Kieran was concerned about.
This was because his gaze was immediately attracted by the golden and orange glow on the table.
One gold and two orange items, a total of three items.
Even though he expected it, Kieran's breath couldn't help but hurry up.
Huuuuuuu!
After a few deep breaths, Kieran forced himself to calm down.
He sized up his surroundings once more and after making sure there was no danger, he slowly walked towards the statue.
As he got closer, Kieran suddenly realized there weren't only three items on the table.
It was …
Four!
