A moment before daybreak, before the bustling day had even begun, a horse carriage sped through the empty streets in a stable and fast manner.
Carl's experienced whips entered his ears and Chief John was twisting his body in a slightly awkward manner.
For the tall and buff John, being squeezed in the narrow carriage was already an uncomfortable thing to begin with, let alone there were four other people inside the carriage.
He turned around and saw Kieran who was sitting beside him and Sister Moni and Lisa who were sitting opposite him. The chief officer regretted not sitting with Carl more than ever.
John felt like he was suffocating after being squeezed in the carriage.
But even so, he didn't have the intention to open the window.
As a police officer, he had enough experience in sudden danger and it allowed him to understand what he should do in times like this.
Even though what he was facing couldn't be explained with common sense.
Kieran turned around to the anxious chief officer and couldn't hold back his smile.
"It's fine if it's just opening the window."
Kieran said.
He knew the reason why the chief officer reacted like that other than the cramped carriage, it was also because of the nervousness of the upcoming battle.
"It's better to be careful!"
John shook his head and said in a heavy tone.
His vigilance made Kieran's smile thicker.
No one wished for their teammate to be careless, even if the teammate wasn't the main attacker and was only in charge of logistics.
As for who the main attacker would be?
It was obvious with a glance at the people inside the carriage.
The frail elderly sister definitely wasn't the main attacker.
Lisa who was still in a muddled state after her memories were erased would also not be the main attacker.
Despite John being tall and buff, he was nothing but an amateur when it came to the mystical realm.
So, only Kieran was left.
In his mind, Kieran was carefully recalling the target details that Gateli gave him.
There were three names that Gateli gave him.
All three of the uninvited guests were more or less related to the mystical realm and one of them was definitely a sorcerer.
Likewise, the sorcerer became Kieran's first target this time.
Not only because he had set up a trap in the police station, but also because he should have the biggest reward on him.
Yes, by entering the dungeon through a special method, players were unable to obtain spoils of war through traditional methods. However, their opponents and their personal items were also spoils of war.
There was no doubt that the personal belongings of a Magus were very valuable.
Kieran didn't mind getting a little more benefits while he was tricking Gateli.
And Gatley had given false information?
Kieran was not worried about this at all.
As long as Gateli wanted to gain Kieran's trust, he would surely give him something real.
And it wasn't just this time.
It was the same the next time.
In fact, at this moment, Kieran was very much looking forward to what kind of surprise he would give him the next time they met.
Therefore, he had to take action to convince the other party that his so-called plan was effective.
At this time, getting rid of the person on the other side's information was the best way to cooperate.
After the thought flashed across his mind, Kieran maintained his smile and said to John, "Keep this vigilance."
Sheriff John nodded.
Then, after a slight pause, he looked at Kieran again.
"2567, are you sure you don't need me to call more men?"
Sheriff John asked again.
It wasn't the first time John asked. When they first met, he did but was rejected by Kieran. This time was no exception either.
"We don't need a lot of men.
Sometimes, having more men isn't a good thing. Quite the opposite, it will cause unnecessary panic. "
Kieran replied.
"I know, but … I really don't have any confidence against such an enemy!"
John smiled bitterly as he took out the flintlock that he carried with him and started to check it again.
Everyone would have some habits when they were faced with something that made them nervous.
Some would shake their legs, some would pace back and forth, some would eat and drink too much.
As for John?
He was checking his weapon.
The flintlock in John's hand was no different from a common flintlock, relying on gunpowder to ignite the bullets.
However, the bullets that came with the flintlock were different.
It wasn't a common lead bullet or iron bullet, but a silver bullet!
A silver bullet that had been soaked in the holy water of the Church of Dawn!
"Believe me, as long as your bullets hit those bastards, they won't be able to escape unscathed!"
Kieran used his words to give John confidence.
It wasn't a lie or an illusion, it was the truth.
Silver bullets had miraculous effects on some special beings, and with the holy water of the Church of Dawn, it was like adding wings to a tiger. Even a High Demon could be killed with a single shot.
Of course, the shot had to hit its target.
One needed to know that Bloody Mary's ambush and confusion were hard to defend against.
Kieran didn't tell John about Bloody Mary.
First, it wasn't necessary.
Second, given how nervous John was, knowing too much might not be a good thing.
The wagon continued to move forward.
A few minutes later, Carl's voice was heard.
"Chief, Hon. 2567, we're here!"
Kieran gave Hardedef a glance before jumping off the wagon and heading towards the other side of the street.
Facing a mystical individual, even one that was on the verge of decline, it was necessary to be careful. Kieran wouldn't allow the wagon to appear on the street where the mystical individual was, it would be too eye-catching. Even commoners with high vigilance would pay attention to it, let alone a mystical individual.
As a matter of fact, it was necessary to do so.
When Kieran entered the street where the mystical individual was, he saw a wandering spirit standing outside the house.
Commoners couldn't see it, but with [Tracking], Kieran could even see the dull expression on the spirit's face.
Using the protection of the shadows, Kieran easily avoided the wandering spirit's surveillance.
Transcendence [Undercover] might not be able to fool the Intuition of a more powerful spirit being, but it was too easy to fool a wandering spirit.
Using an iron wire to open the locked door, Kieran dashed in.
There was no light, but the corridor, living room, and kitchen were clearly reflected in Kieran's eyes.
Then, he heard voices coming from the study room.
"I've said it before!
"I want more materials!"
I don't care if you're being targeted! "
…
"Yes, my lord.
Things with the Church of Dawn are progressing smoothly. I've confirmed that Guntherson isn't here, it's just the Church of Dawn's little tricks!
I'll solve all these problems in the shortest time possible and get that thing! "
…
Both conversations were from the same person.
The first one was arrogant and haughty.
However, the latter part of his speech was filled with servility and even flattery.
Kieran's curiosity was piqued.
"As a sorcerer, he addressed someone as my lord?
"Then, who is this lord?"
And what is the thing that he wants? "
Kieran had a few guesses in his heart.
At the same time, the door of the study room opened from the inside.
A scrawny man walked out.
