A few minutes later, a big group of people came out from the manor.
Most of them were terrified and uneasy, and only a few of them had what could be called hostility in their eyes.
However, even those few people lowered their heads in panic when they caught Kieran's gaze, not daring to look up again.
The scene before Kieran's eyes told Kieran that the Wayne family's decline was inevitable.
As a matter of fact, it was.
When John said he wanted to search Wayne Manor, none of the people dared to object, allowing Kieran and John to walk into the manor openly.
The moment they entered the spare hall, the middle-aged man pushed a cart over.
The cart looked like a dining cart but it wasn't carrying food.
It was …
Gold and coins.
After the cloth was removed, pieces of gold bricks and a stack of thick coins entered Kieran and John's eyes.
The chief officer was stunned.
Kieran maintained his calmness.
When they were brought into the manor and the others were dismissed, leaving only the three of them, Kieran already knew what they wanted to do.
The Church of Dawn did the same thing before.
While facing the Wayne family's massive allied army, a cart filled with gold and gemstones was pushed into the camp by the elderly sister.
Then, it was exchanged for peace.
Now, it was a reenactment.
However, the roles of both sides had swapped.
It should be an interesting scene.
Kieran couldn't raise the slightest bit of interest in his heart.
Even more so when he was faced with gold and paper that were useless to him.
So, he shook his head.
However, the middle-aged man seemed to have misunderstood Kieran's meaning.
"Your … Your Highness, please give us a few more days, we will surely come up with a price that will satisfy you!"
The man said after clenching his teeth.
"I don't need these!
Not gold and coins but the books, scrolls and records that were taken away by the Wayne family. Those things should belong to the Church of Dawn.
I am just taking back what belongs to us. "
Kieran emphasized.
The middle-aged man was stunned.
Obviously, he didn't think Kieran would want those things.
"Please wait a moment!"
As the middle-aged man spoke, he quickly pushed the cart away. His speed was more than twice as fast as when he came.
"Hu!"
"It's too tempting!"
John heaved a long sigh of relief after Kieran was gone. He then looked at Kieran with an admiring gaze.
He could swear that Kieran's expression didn't change at all when he was faced with the gold and paper money. He didn't even quicken his breath.
"Are all God's Children as desireless as you?"
John asked curiously.
"That's because I didn't see what I wanted."
Kieran said.
Then, he looked at the end of the corridor.
Kieran could already hear the footsteps.
Not just one person, but many people.
In the next moment, a group of more than 30 people appeared. There were men and women, all of whom he had met before. Each of them was holding a thick stack of books.
After placing the books in front of Kieran, these people retreated.
They were still panicking, but the hostility in their eyes was gone.
No doubt, compared to gold and paper money, these books were worthless in their eyes.
However, in Kieran's eyes, they were worth more than a thousand gold.
Kieran bent down to check the books carefully. After a while, he stopped bending down in satisfaction.
The age of the papers was very old.
As he flipped through them, there were prayers praising the Goddess of Dawn and some secret records.
Common people might seem absurd and unruly but it was what Kieran wanted.
Of course, Kieran wanted more than that.
"These are all the books about the Church of Dawn in our collection."
The middle-aged man said.
"Very well!
Please get someone to load these books into the wagon … Can I borrow a wagon? "
Kieran nodded.
"I'll arrange it for you right away!"
The middle-aged man wouldn't and dared not reject Kieran's request, agreeing to it right away.
One needed to know the situation before their eyes was countless times better than what they had imagined.
All they had to do was pay some books in exchange for peace. It was something they dared not even think about before Kieran arrived.
"And!
Please get someone to bring me to Gateli's grave. "
Kieran stopped the middle-aged man who was about to leave.
The middle-aged man's heart skipped a beat when Kieran stopped him but when he heard Kieran's request, he heaved a breath of relief.
Gateli was the heir but he was dead.
A dead heir was completely unimportant to the current Wayne Family.
After arranging a wagon, the middle-aged man personally brought Kieran to Gateli's grave.
Or more precisely, the Wayne family's graveyard.
It was not far away from the manor, at the bottom of a hill.
The graveyard was guarded by two elders. When they saw the middle-aged man, they opened the gate to the graveyard as ordered. Kieran followed behind the elder and entered.
"Your Highness, this is the place."
The middle-aged man pointed at a tombstone and said.
It was different from the other common family members' tombstones and the one deep underground.
Gateli's grave chamber was behind the tombstone. It was a grave chamber above ground. In the entire graveyard, there were around three such grave chambers.
Gateli's grave chamber was the smallest among them.
It was 5 meters in length, 3 meters in width and 2 meters in height. Each side of the wall was carved with the Wayne family's emblem and patterns.
"Those two belonged to the previous two family leaders."
The middle-aged man explained when he saw Kieran sizing up the grave.
Kieran didn't care.
After entering the graveyard, Kieran activated [Tracking]'s vision and was searching for the traces left behind by Gateli.
Gateli was a dead man, he wouldn't have stayed in the manor.
Even if there were secret rooms in the manor, it would be very eye-catching for the people from the Revival Society to come and go.
Throughout the entire Wayne Manor, where else would be less eye-catching than this place?
Especially in the dead of the night, even if something happened here, no one would be willing to come and investigate.
Count on the tomb keeper?
No one would have high hopes when they saw the age of the two men.
Soon, Kieran found the traces.
However, it wasn't near Gateli's grave chamber but the first Duke Wayne's.
"He didn't choose his own grave chamber nor did he choose Duke Wayne but chose the first Duke Wayne?"
Kieran's face was filled with astonishment.
Two guesses popped up in his heart.
Because Kieran believed Gateli must have his own reasons for his choice.
As for what?
He would know once he opened it up.
But before that, he still had to solve some problems.
