The baptism slot?
Kieran was stunned.
Kieran wasn't a stranger to baptism.
Nikorei's book collection had quite a few introductions to the ritual but what surprised Kieran was that the one who stole the Holy Thorn Grail did it for the baptism.
More importantly, the person who could perform the baptism ritual …
The thought spun in Kieran's mind and he looked at Mizelle with a colder gaze.
"Baptism?
What kind of joke is this?
Is the baptism ritual something a bunch of thieves can master?
Do you think you can lie to me with such childish lies? Or did my kindness make you feel wronged? "
Kieran said as he exerted more force on his feet.
"My lord! My lord!
I didn't mean to lie to you, that bastard can really perform the baptism!
I saw it with my own eyes!
That's why I chose to join him! "
Mizelle said quickly.
"He already performed the baptism?"
Kieran squinted his eyes.
"Yes, he did!
Two of the core members performed the baptism the day after they stole the Holy Thorn Grail. A few of us were there and saw it with our own eyes!
Besides, he promised us that if we completed the mission he ordered, he would also perform the baptism for us! "
Mizelle nodded repeatedly.
"How many of you are there?"
Kieran asked.
"A total of six of us. Including me, there are four outer members and other than me, the other three went on another mission."
Mizelle answered honestly.
"What mission?"
Kieran asked.
Mizelle was a little hesitant.
However, when the pain on his wrist intensified, Mizelle quickly chose to compromise.
"Their mission is to intercept and kill a traveling merchant and disguise themselves as the merchant to enter Naveya City!
Then, we will leave Naveya City with the identity of that traveling merchant! "
Mizelle spilled everything he knew.
Then, Kieran asked Mizelle a few more questions and interspersed them with the questions he asked before. After making sure there were no mistakes, Kieran knocked Mizelle out.
"Come out."
Kieran said.
With a sense of caution, Starbeck walked out from the shadows.
Although he desperately lacked Golden Skill Points, Starbeck relied on his Points and Skill Points to push his [Undercover] to Musou level.
Together with some other items, Starbeck's [Undercover] ability wasn't any weaker than common Transcendents.
Unfortunately, no matter how good the technique was, when it was used by a coward like Starbeck, it felt very incongruous.
Similar to [Undercover], Starbeck didn't have the presence of a great thief that could blend into the shadows, instead, he was like a quail that was about to freeze to death in the cold wind.
Trembling, trembling.
Looking at Starbeck's reaction, Kieran shook his head and said, "This place will be our lodgings for the next two days.
This guy has stored food and water there, you can use the bed as well. "
"T-Thank you!"
Starbeck stuttered before he quickly climbed up the bed.
However, he didn't lie down to rest, instead, he curled up at the corner of the bed like a little chick that just left its nest, looking at Kieran carefully.
"Don't worry, we are on the same boat now, we'll rise or fall together.
Unless something absolutely dangerous happens to me, I won't give up on you.
So, you have to listen to my arrangements, don't make any decisions on your own, understand? "
Kieran gave his promise.
"Understood."
Starbeck finally stopped stuttering when his life was on the line.
"Can you tell me more about Broker?"
Of course, you can skip the parts that are limited by the contract. "
Kieran moved a chair over and sat opposite Starbeck, asking slowly.
Kieran would always be vigilant against any enemy.
Needless to say, Broker was a cunning bastard who could hide his identity.
So, Kieran would never let go of any chance to get more information about Broker.
"I don't know much about Broker," Kieran said.
Most of it is my own guesses during the trade.
Only during the first few trades, in order to get closer to me and quickly gain my trust, he showed me some of his abilities — he can pay a certain price to get help from the system within a certain range, including buying equipment and items that we can't buy, delaying the appearance of the mechanical enforcers in the big city, etc. "
Starbeck answered.
Kieran already had some guesses about what Starbeck said.
So, Kieran wasn't surprised at the moment.
But there were some things that Kieran was very concerned about.
"This is the ability from his Unique Title?
Then, when did he know that you got the [Blade of the Daybreaker (Main Scroll)]? "
Kieran asked.
"I don't know.
I got the [Blade of the Daybreaker (Main Scroll)] in the trial dungeon and before I met you, who has the sub scroll, I never told anyone about it.
But … "
"I think Broker must have known about this a long time ago."
Starbeck said with a bitter smile.
"Is it also because of his Unique Title?"
Kieran frowned.
"I don't know.
Because this is just my guess. When I finished the trial dungeon and was feeling anxious, Broker took the initiative to approach me and started the first trade with me! "
"It's not just me. Back then, Broker would always take the initiative to find some people and those people have become slightly famous, some even famous far and wide."
"Broker should be able to see the player's dungeon clearing rating or rewards after paying a certain price."
Starbeck shook his head again, his narration sounded a little uncertain.
Kieran didn't comment on Starbeck's guesses.
He would never deny that Broker had a unique foresight.
Whether it was relying on his own abilities or the title's ability, Kieran wouldn't be surprised if he found these people who were worth investing in.
But Kieran didn't care about all that.
While Starbeck was narrating, Kieran already thought of other aspects.
"Did any of those who were targeted by Broker die accidentally?"
Kieran asked.
"Yes!
I've paid attention to those people before, a lot of them disappeared in the underground game, some of them were related to Broker but most of them died in single player dungeons! "
Starbeck answered without a second thought.
Kieran slightly heaved a breath of relief when he heard the affirmative answer.
"Fortunately, that's the case.
Otherwise, I would have to consider surrendering — it's hard to win against an opponent who has set up his plans beforehand.
But it's better than facing an opponent who can see the future! "
Kieran said with a smile.
"What should we do now?"
Starbeck got bolder when he saw the smile on Kieran's face.
"Rest up and wait."
Kieran then looked at the unconscious Mizelle.
In order to move around in Naveya, a new and reliable identity was a must.
