Liz Dandon didn't reject or reply right away.
However, Kieran knew she had tacitly agreed to the suggestion.
Because she was still Sister Dandon after all.
It had nothing to do with Sister Dandon's kindness and compassion, it was all about faith.
And faith was greater than anything else!
After seeing Dandon off with the dead body of the Holy Relic Society deacon, Kieran quietly picked up his spoils of war and returned to the dining table.
The milk, fried eggs, ham and toast on the table were still at a decent temperature.
He picked up the soy sauce and dripped a drop on the fried eggs. Kieran stabbed the ham with a fork and skillfully crushed the egg yolk, allowing the ham to be fully soaked in the egg before sending it into his mouth.
The newly soaked egg gave the ham an extra softness after being roasted by the stove.
Together with the wheat and the rich milk, it was enough for Kieran to sweep away all the food on the table.
"Looking at your eating habits, I realized you are exactly the same as those annoying Knight!"
A cold voice sounded behind Kieran.
"It has nothing to do with the Knight, I just don't like wasting food!"
Kieran wasn't surprised at the sudden voice, he picked up the napkin and wiped his mouth while replying.
"It has nothing to do with the Knight?
Then … What does your alliance with the Church of Danton mean? "
Melanie, one of the Twenty Hounds, went around the table and stood in front of Kieran. She placed both of her hands on the table and looked down at Kieran.
"Just like what you heard!
I hope to ally with the Church of Danton and get what I deserve! "
Kieran raised his head and stared back at Melanie without backing down.
"That's wishful thinking of yours!
"Why would the other members of the Saint Relic Association disperse the power that they already have? Especially when those members have experienced the benefits of power."
Melanie said coldly.
"Not in the past, but it's different now!"
"The appearance of the fruit of the Yggdrasil has broken the balance — those people have never been united. Even when facing you, they would fight amongst themselves to get rid of the dissidents, let alone now … If it wasn't for the fact that they couldn't confirm the authenticity of the fruit, they would have fought amongst themselves already!"
Kieran did not hide his disdain for the Holy Relic Society at all.
The disdain on Melanie's face eased a little.
"So, you want to cooperate with us?"
She asked.
"We can work together, but how are we going to split the fruit?"
"Legend has it that eating the fruit of the World Tree can make you a deity, but it has never been said that eating half a fruit or less will give you any benefits."
Kieran nodded and looked at her in an unusually serious manner.
Kieran knew that there was no fruit of the World Tree.
However, he could not show that he was generous enough to give up the fruit of the World Tree.
Anyone would be suspicious if they were to give up the chance to become a god.
"Do you really believe that the fruit of the World Tree really exists?"
Melanie replied with a question.
"Come on, please don't put on an act."
I am not blind or deaf, what you did last night has spread all over Edland City. If it wasn't for the fruit of the World Tree, would you have done it?
Besides, I didn't understand why Damien of the Twenty Hounds would be so interested in the [Sister Reid Statue] but the appearance of the fruit of the World Tree last night made me understand!
No one would have thought that the Marulyn Church that was annihilated by your people would get their hands on such a precious item!
Or should I say … "
"Is it because the Marulyn Church got their hands on such a precious item that you made your move?"
Kieran looked at Melanie with a smile.
Of course, his words were obviously misleading and confusing.
However, no one could deny the truth behind his words.
At least it was true that Damien of the Twenty Hounds had a great interest in the [Sister Reid Statue].
Even if it was just for the legacy of the Marulyn Church.
Still, it didn't stop Kieran from saying what he wanted to say.
"That's war!
If the Marulyn Church really knew about the existence of the fruit of the World Tree, how could the war end so easily?
Besides, if the Marulyn Church got their hands on the fruit, why would they keep it and not choose someone to consume it? "
Melanie said as if she was questioning Kieran.
"Because there is only one fruit of the World Tree!
The Marulyn Church has quite a good reputation but who would give up the temptation of ascending to Godhood so easily?
Let's put it in another way, if it was you people, what would you do?
Keep it a secret from those in the know, put the fruit of the World Tree in a secret place and discuss further … Unfortunately, before the discussion could come to a conclusion, those in the know would die! "
"But maybe someone left some words behind and after a hundred years, it was discovered by some people and these people started a new plan."
Kieran said slowly.
"Some people?"
Melanie asked in an extra heavy tone.
"Yes, some people!
Don't you think it would be interesting to go to the Winchester House explosion case now?
"A group of people with different identities and ideologies were able to gather in a broken family hotel, especially that Symede Augen, he wouldn't be interested in the things inside Edland City Museum but he still went there and met his death."
"Other than that Professor Harodet, everyone else who was involved is dead!"
"Why do you think?"
Kieran purposely asked.
"Because there is only one fruit of Yggdrasil!"
Melanie said after a deep breath.
"Yeah, there is only one fruit of Yggdrasil and it's hard to divide it among more people!"
Kieran nodded again.
"Then … What about you?
What kind of role did you play after you lost your memory? "
"You said it yourself, the Winchester House explosion case isn't that simple, so why did you appear there?"
Melanie looked at Kieran with glimmering eyes and asked word by word.
"Of course I did it for the fruit of Yggdrasil!"
Kieran replied in an affirmative manner.
Then, he looked up at the Hound on the other side of the table, who had platinum hair and eyes of the same color, and continued, "I can foresee that I'm one of those people. I might even be an important part of that person's plan. If I didn't lose my memory to attract attention and confuse everything, how could he have gotten the fruit of Yggdrasil so easily? Of course, it can also be proven that my memory loss was the person's doing and not because of some collision! "
"Judging from the previous scene, the person's plan was quite decent and I completed it perfectly, messing up the whole of Edland City."
"Everything went according to the person's plan, except …"
"I, the chess piece that the person set up, met another chess piece that the person set up, Professor Harodet!"
"Our battle and some of the discoveries that I made forced the person to hasten his steps, to the point that he didn't hesitate to expose a part of his information."
"Because the person knew the Church of Danton would surely inform the Holy Relic Society about what happened that night and the Holy Relic Society wasn't something that the person could go against. So, the person needed more helpers, like you and many other mystical individuals."
Kieran's tone had a little annoyance.
He presented himself as a person who was being used in an excellent manner.
"Who is that person?"
Melanie asked out of instinct.
However, the moment the words escaped her mouth, Melanie realized her mistake.
If Kieran knew who the person was, why would he sit here and talk so much with her?
"If you know more, you can find me here."
Melanie left in a hurry after giving Kieran an address.
After making sure that Melanie had really left, Kieran stood up from the dining table.
He wasn't happy about successfully deceiving the Holy Relic Society and the Elder Council.
He wouldn't be delighted either.
Kieran knew he was just using the information asymmetry to temporarily deceive the Holy Relic Society and the Elder Council.
He wanted to make both sides believe him without a doubt.
