Plague?!
Kieran was stunned and unconsciously looked at the people on the stretchers.
All of them were flushed without exception, some were mumbling to themselves in a delirious state and some even fainted.
Unconsciously, Kieran's face turned heavy.
Kieran wasn't worried about the plague.
With his SSS rank Constitution, no matter how scary the plague was, he would be fine.
It was the timing of the plague's appearance!
Kieran didn't think it was a coincidence that could explain the appearance of the plague when the undercurrent was brewing.
More so, Kieran never believed in coincidences.
"What caused the plague?"
How long will we find out? "
Kieran asked.
"It should be rats or blood-sucking bugs. Around three days ago, there were only one or two isolated cases at that time, so everyone didn't pay attention to it.
"Fortunately, it's only a small-scale explosion, and it's already well controlled."
Acker replied.
Then, the kind-hearted school security member comforted Kieran.
"Don't worry, Hon. 2567.
This isn't the first time the plague has broken out in the city.
Sister Mony and the doctors have enough medicine to deal with it and they have enough experience. Of course, just to be safe, bring this with you. "
As he spoke, Aike handed over a medicine bottle containing about 20 milliliters of medicinal liquid.
[Name: Resistance Potion]
[Type: Potion]
[Rarity: Excellent]
[Attribute: Able to effectively cure all kinds of febrile diseases and help the user resist the plague caused by the diseases]
[Prerequisite: None]
[Able to bring out of dungeon: No]
[Remark: This isn't the knowledge passed down by the Church of Dawn, it's what Sister Mony learned through her long life.]
…
Kieran took the potion over and the details popped up.
"Thank you!"
Although it wasn't necessary, it didn't stop Kieran from expressing his gratitude.
"You should thank Sister Mony, we didn't do anything. The potion was concocted by Sister Mony and the doctors were gathered because of Sister Mony. We are just here to maintain order."
The school security team member waved his hand right away and looked respectfully at the elderly sister who was busy in the crowd.
"To be able to stand here and do your best in the face of death is enough to prove your contributions."
"A word of thanks is something that you deserve."
Kieran said.
Acker looked at Kieran in surprise.
It was obvious that the security team did not expect the God's Child, who was supposed to be high and mighty, to have such an approachable side.
It was different from the previous life-saving grace.
His words made Acker feel a sense of respect.
"May everything be as you say …"
"Good day, Lord Divine Child!"
The school security team member muttered to himself before bowing respectfully to Kieran.
It was not an etiquette of gratitude for saving one's life, but an ancient etiquette of sincere admiration.
It was an ancient ritual with the [Seal of Dawn].
[Energy resonance, Musou Level Dawn Knight Body Tempering Art has gained a considerable amount of experience, points required decreased by 100 …]
…
Without Sister Moni's outstanding radiance when she bowed, Kieran's gains were a few times lesser.
However, Kieran widened his eyes.
He knew very well that the security team member before him didn't systematically learn the [Dawn Knight Body Tempering Art].
All he got was a few words of pointers from Guntherson during his training in the past.
"As long as he slightly learned the [Dawn Knight Body Tempering Art], he can use the [Seal of Dawn] to resonate?"
"No, that's not right!
If that's the case, the Church of Dawn would have a batch of extraordinary Knight in a short period of time and wouldn't have been wiped out. Then it's … "
"Respect?!"
Kieran recalled the scene just now.
Soon, he locked on to the key point.
At the same time, the thought of 'a thousand people bowing, transcendence in a day' appeared in Kieran's heart again.
Unlike the clueless at first, Kieran now had some ideas.
Of course, that was in the future.
Kieran had something more important to attend to now.
After bidding farewell to Acker, he didn't disturb Sister Moni who was busy with her work. Kieran went straight to the other lodging spot that Gateli mentioned and left XCV's message as promised. Kieran then waited in the shadows beside.
Pedestrians were shuttling on the street, the news of the plague obviously hadn't spread yet.
Although the pedestrians were in a hurry, they weren't as nervous as the ones at the school gate.
Of course, not everyone was like that.
At least, although the "eye" that Gateli set up behaved like the pedestrians on the street, it was locked down by Kieran the moment it appeared.
Gateli's eye had confirmed the spot where Kieran left his message too many times.
However, Kieran didn't make a move, instead, he waited patiently.
A few minutes later, Gateli appeared.
Kieran walked out from the shadows.
"Hon. 2567, please follow me."
Gateli's face showed a sense of panic, he then turned into an alleyway in a hurry.
Acting?
Or real?
Kieran looked at Gateli's back with a ruminating gaze.
Kieran wouldn't underestimate this enemy who was good at grasping the weaknesses of others.
Following Gateli with quick steps, Kieran arrived at a short room. The door was below the ground level, in order to enter, one would have to go down 5 steps.
At the top of the entrance was a wooden ladder without handrails, leading to the other entrance of the building.
'Fresh Tongue'.
At the top of the entrance, there was a sign with a big wine glass on it.
"What a weird name."
Kieran commented before he bent down and walked into the entrance below.
The racks and barrels told Kieran where he was.
The storeroom of the inn.
In the corner of the warehouse, there was a blanket and a half-burned candle.
"I'm sorry, in order to not be discovered by those people, I have to hide here.
"The information I've given you before has completely exposed me — those lunatics from the Revival Society are really scary."
Gateli's face showed a sincere apologetic look again.
But between his words, he was secretly revealing that the reason why Gateli was in such a terrible situation was because of Kieran.
As for why Gateli did that, Kieran knew very well.
Continue to confuse and deceive him.
In order to get more information, Kieran didn't mind playing along before he turned on Gateli.
"Do you need my help to deal with them?"
Kieran said after a frown.
"Thank you for your suggestion but I think it's better if we don't confront them face to face.
No, no, I'm not doubting your strength, as a God's Child, your strength is undeniable but I just don't want to get too deeply involved with those related people.
"At least until you destroy the Ancilanco Codex."
Gateli said with a bitter smile.
"Seems like you know quite a lot about Ancilanco Codex?"
Kieran asked.
"If it's possible, I'd rather not know any of this!
You know what the miracle in St. Paolo Church is right?
That's right, it's exactly what you know!
"But it's not 'unknown' like that person said!"
Around a thousand years ago, Ancilanco was a God that was worshipped by the people, even though its reputation wasn't that great … "
"It was in charge of the plague!"
Gateli said after he saw Kieran nod.
Plague?
Kieran squinted his eyes.
Almost instinctively, Kieran thought of the scene at the school gate.
"You are saying?"
Kieran asked in a testing manner.
"Just like what you guessed, the plague that broke out in the city these few days was affected by Ancilanco Codex. Likewise, that person was also affected by Ancilanco Codex. Maybe that person was kind in nature but that was in the past!"
"Now?
That person has become the puppet of Ancilanco Codex and is in cahoots with the leader of the Revival Society. "
"While we have become the prey of that codex."
The bitter smile on Gateli's face deepened.
"Prey?"
Kieran looked at Gateli.
"That's right, prey!
Don't tell me you think the plague this time can be controlled like before?
I'm confident that in less than a week, this city will turn into a dead city and using the vengeful souls of those who died in vain, Ancilanco will be resurrected and become the new God that the Revival Society spoke of, and … "
"We can't escape!
We are all marked by the codex!
The closer you are to that person, the deeper the mark! "
Gateli was almost sobbing at the end of his words.
Looking at Gateli's expression, even though he knew Gateli was acting, Kieran had to admit that Gateli acted really well.
If Kieran stepped into Gateli's trap because of his overly suspicious thoughts …
Then, Gateli would surely believe it without a shred of doubt right?
"What should we do?"
Kieran asked after playing along and showing a little nervousness on his face.
"Destroy St. Paolo Church!
Kill that person! "
Gateli said without a second thought.
Then, before Kieran could answer, Gateli continued, "I know this is not an easy task for you but please think about the people in the city!
"They need your help!"
"Including me!"
Gateli then knelt down on the floor again.
"I will do my best to save those I can."
Kieran said in a tone that suited his character.
It was all to fish out more information from Gateli.
However, to Kieran's surprise, at the next moment, Gateli took out a tightly wrapped box from under the blanket.
"That person's power is undeniable. In order for you to save more people, I'm willing to do my best to help you. This is a fragment of a treasure related to the Church of Dawn that my ancestor obtained when he was cleaning up the battlefield. It should be able to help you, the 'Son of God'."
Gateli opened the box as he spoke.
