A group of men in black uniforms walked into the hall under the gaze of the Mutants.
Three of them stood out like a crane among a flock of chickens, attracting Kieran's attention.
It wasn't just because of their different outfits, it was also because Kieran was familiar with all three of them.
Contly, Becker and … Herbert!
Herbert?!
The moment Kieran saw the elderly scholar, he raised a brow.
He very much wanted to see the old scholar again, but not in this way.
Looking at Herbert who appeared before him, thoughts spun rapidly in Kieran's mind.
Was the Herbert before him a fake?
Kieran knew from Eander that Carlhart handed the Record Crystal to Herbert and he believed as long as that bastard wasn't an idiot, he wouldn't send a fake to test his patience.
Then …
Was the Herbert before him real?
The person that Eander described wasn't some simple figure. Not only did he hold a high position, he also held real power in his hands: half of the Langdon military had close ties with him.
Such a figure would surely not give in so easily, especially when Herbert's actions in Carlhart Military Camp hadn't been spread out and he had already sent his men to send Herbert back …
Not to Carlhart, but to him!
But to him!
Kieran looked down at the letter written by Herbert in his hand.
Dear Hon. 2567,
I think there's a misunderstanding between us.
So, I'm trying my best to clear up the misunderstanding.
It's just my men's misunderstanding, it's not my intention at all.
As you can see, Sir Herbert wasn't mistreated at all in my place, he's in good spirits.
I'm really sorry about his memory loss.
It's my mistake, I'll send someone to compensate you and Sir Herbert in a satisfactory manner.
If you don't mind, I'd like to invite you to my castle as a guest.
My castle has a nice view in summer.
I'm really looking forward to your visit.
Carderweld who hopes to be friends with you!
Unusual!
It's too unusual!
Kieran couldn't help but look at Herbert.
The elderly scholar was smiling and nodding at Kieran as a greeting, there wasn't the slightest bit of unusualness.
However, it made Kieran more uneasy.
Could it be …
A thought suddenly appeared in Kieran's mind.
He thought of the only possibility: there must be some kind of limitation on Herbert.
The fatal kind!
With that in mind, Kieran turned his attention to the group of men in black uniforms. His rainbow-colored eyes were overflowing with unconcealable killer intents.
"Sir!"
"This is the compensation from Lord Carderweld!"
The leader trembled, and sweat began to drip from his forehead.
However, he did not forget to place the box in front of Kieran.
Looking at the box in front of him, Kieran slightly restrained his killing intent.
The box wasn't big and looked like a lady's jewelry box.
Nothing could be seen from the outside.
Kieran wanted to know what kind of tricks Kieran was up to, so he signaled to Eander.
Eander walked over immediately. After checking the box, he opened it.
Immediately, a fragrant aroma assailed the nostrils.
In this small box, there was a blooming white flower. It was the size of a palm, and its stamen was pale yellow.
[Name: Aimida Flower]
Type: Plant
Rarity: Rare
[Attribute:???]
[Able to bring out of dungeon: No]
[Remark: You will need to find a professional to appraise it!]
…
When Kieran's finger touched the flower, the attributes of the flower started to show up.
"Amida's flower?"
Do you know what it does? "
Kieran muttered to himself before looking at Eander, who looked excited.
"Your Highness, Aimida Flower can effectively suppress the arrival of the decay phase!"
Eander bowed and replied right away.
"Suppress the decay phase?"
Kieran knew about the decay phase of the Mutants.
Just like how humans aged, the Mutants went through a similar process. However, the Mutants called it the Period of Exhaustion.
Once the Mutants entered the decay phase, they would age rapidly and their strength would plummet rapidly. Then, they would die!
The more terrifying thing was, the decay phase didn't have a regular pattern.
Some Mutants could live up to a hundred years without experiencing the decay phase.
Some?
They would face death in their prime years.
Kieran glanced over the excited Mutant and looked at the [Aimida Flower] in his hand before looking at Herbert and the others.
Kieran laughed coldly in his heart.
Until then, he finally knew what Carderweld was trying to do.
[Aimida Flower]!
It was considered a life-saving item for the Mutants and it was in Carderweld's hand. Of course, it wasn't just the flower that Carderweld gave him.
Carderweld must have more!
That was the first meaning that Carderweld was trying to express.
As for the second meaning?
Cooperation!
As long as Kieran, the Royal, didn't want to face the pain of the decay phase, he would have to work with Carderweld.
As for the content of the cooperation?
It would be the Emperor's Legacy that Herbert knew about.
Carderweld never gave up on this goal.
It was only after he realized Kieran was a Royal that he made some adjustments to certain aspects.
In a flash, the wicked aura on Kieran grew denser as he thought of all that.
The leader in front of Kieran wobbled and fell to the ground.
"Not enough!
Tell Carderweld that this compensation isn't enough!
I need more sincerity from him! "
Kieran looked down at the man, then raised his right hand and pointed his index finger at him.
Retsu who was standing behind Kieran immediately stepped up and waved at Carderweld.
Wung!
A violent wind blew.
Carderweld's men, including the leader, were caught in the wind and thrown out of the hall.
When Retsu walked back behind Kieran, Kieran passed the box with the [Aimida Flower] to Retsu for safekeeping. He didn't say anything else and signaled for the dinner to continue.
Eander and the other Mutants undoubtedly wanted to express something but before Kieran's prestige, they didn't dare to utter a word.
After that, the dinner was like the beginning, heavy and suffocating.
After a full two hours, the dinner finally came to an end.
Looking at the empty plates, the Mutants were astonished at Kieran's appetite.
A hundred dishes were finished!
It was unimaginable!
Right away, Kieran's appetite and the [Aimida Flower] became the topic of discussion among the Mutants who left the hall.
Kieran, on the other hand, was led by the maidservant to a freshly decorated room.
The room was a suite, not only did it have its own study room and parlor, there was even a hot spring in the bathroom.
Kieran rubbed his slightly uncomfortable stomach and headed to the parlor.
Although his Constitution had reached SS- rank and had surpassed a common man's limit, for Kieran who ate a hundred dishes in one go, it was still a little forceful.
"Get me some hawthorn!"
Kieran ordered the maidservant beside him and pushed open the parlor door.
Herbert and the other two had been waiting for a while.
"It's been a while!"
