KABOOM!
Following the King of Killers' shout, it was as if a bomb was thrown into the crowd, the whole reception went into an uproar. Those who were still in a daze a moment ago started to flee in panic, trying to find a place to hide.
However, some of them didn't panic.
Including Lilith, the young ladies.
At this moment, the ladies' eyes glowed.
Every single one of them turned to the window.
The bolder ones even ran out, trying to chase after that figure.
Lilith was one of them.
However, when they came out of the room, all they saw was a shadow formed by the intertwining moonlight and darkness, there wasn't a single person in sight.
They didn't see the person they wanted to see.
However, after a moment of disappointment, these ladies became even more expectant.
"The wind blows your temples, that's his hand caressing your neck."
"The shadow follows your feet, that's his footsteps following you closely."
"He is like the wind, like the shadow, the King of Killers."
One of the noble ladies couldn't help but moan softly.
"Like the wind, like the shadow?"
Lilith couldn't help but be in a daze when she heard the moan.
She then turned around to Pudd and Livezel, who were still stunned on the spot.
Both of them were drenched in Bocard's blood, their lips were still shivering.
The two young men who always claimed to be brave couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts after witnessing Bocard's death.
Bocard, an opponent who was on par with them, died without a sound in front of them. It undoubtedly dealt a huge blow to the two young men.
They were frightened.
They were scared.
In their panic, they didn't even conceal their expressions.
Lilith's eyes showed disappointment when she saw the pale faces of the two young men.
The priest of Love Temple didn't call the two of them anymore, instead, she walked away and boarded her wagon. Following a whip from the wagoner, the wagon swiftly vanished into the night.
Comparison was always scary at any time.
No matter how perfect an item, object, or person was, once a comparison was made, it would become unbearable.
Especially when the first impression was the strongest.
Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.
The ladies were excited because of that blurry figure.
As for those who had boasted shamelessly, they began to tremble. They were deeply afraid that they would become the second Bocard.
Bocard's death was like pouring a bucket of cold water into a pot of boiling oil.
Everyone knew the wrath of Sin Temple was bound to happen.
Countless people were waiting to see what the Sin Temple would do.
Of course, with such anticipation, there was no lack of malice.
One needed to know that as one of the four major temples under Thunder Temple, Sin Temple had always been the most unpopular one.
However, this had nothing to do with Kieran for the time being.
Kieran, who had already returned to the secret hideout, carried the head that had been processed and walked to the secret room on the side.
Inside the secret chamber, there were more than ten Emerald Rock assassins under his control standing quietly at the edge of the magic circle.
This magic array covered the entire floor. It was a basic magic array with a circle inside a square pattern. The inside was neatly divided into nine squares.
Different things were placed in each grid.
Heart, liver and kidneys in a jar.
His thumb and little finger, which had been cut off at the base, were laid bare.
There was also a complete pelvic bone without any flesh.
Only the space in the middle was empty.
Kieran raised his hand and placed Bocard's head inside. He then stepped back outside the magic circle and signaled the other Emerald Rock assassins, Mizelle, Pelker, Meiser and the others to the outer edge of the magic circle — the four corners of the circle inside the square.
Then, soft incantations started to sound.
The magic circle started to glow faintly.
Flames started to appear on the items inside the squares. Following the burning of the casting materials, the aura of the person standing inside the magic circle was slightly strengthened.
It was very weak but it was enough to satisfy Kieran.
It meant that his spell casting was successful.
Of course, the strengthening of his strength wasn't the main point.
The main point was to keep it a secret.
Among the secret spells given by Tiki, there were ways to confuse beliefs and prevent prying.
It was similar to [Thorn's Deceit]'s weakened version.
Now, there was one more soul 'protection'.
Anyone who tried to pry into his men's souls would face some interesting consequences. After running into the priest from Sin Temple, Kieran knew he had to do it, otherwise, his secret might be exposed at any moment.
It was definitely something he didn't want to see.
Of course, by killing these people, he could keep the secret to a certain extent.
Still, it wasn't 100% safe.
Although people often said that only the dead could keep secrets.
But that was under normal circumstances.
The current dungeon world wasn't suitable for it.
Because there were Gods in this dungeon world.
In this dungeon world, a soul would remain after death and if one believed in some Gods, they would directly enter the divine kingdom after death.
The Gods could even track the dead.
The one in Sin Temple was famous for that.
More importantly, he was now the leader of Emerald Rock, he must have a group of men to fit his identity.
Kieran stood outside the magic circle and saw the casting materials were fully burned before he waved his hand at his trusted men.
"Split into three groups, Mizelle, Pelker and Meiser, each of you will lead a group and take turns to keep watch."
Kieran ordered.
"Yes, my lord."
The three of them bowed and quickly moved out.
Although the secret hideout was well-hidden enough, the necessary vigilance was still necessary.
After everything was arranged properly, Kieran returned to his room.
It was originally Reppu's room.
The decorations were quite rough at first, mostly gold and gemstones piled up randomly but after Starbeck took over, things changed.
As for what exactly was different, Kieran couldn't tell.
He wasn't good at appreciating things but it didn't stop him from admiring Starbeck.
Especially when he saw the golden roast meat on the table.
"I promised you honey roast meat and some fruit juice that I made myself. I wanted to brew wine but I didn't have enough time."
Starbeck who was wearing a black and white apron and sleeves said.
"It's good enough!
Besides, I don't drink. "
Kieran tore a piece of roast meat as thick as two fingers and stuffed it into his mouth.
The crispy and sweet taste instantly made Kieran squint his eyes in satisfaction.
The honey roast meat before his eyes should be the hind leg of the pork. After deboning and marinating, it was hammered more than once to make the meat more springy and when it came in contact with charcoal, the springiness would turn into crispy. Together with the honey that was smeared on the meat, the sweetness didn't just seep into the meat, it also expelled the fishy stench.
However, what surprised Kieran the most was the refreshing feeling on the tip of his tongue.
"Mint?"
Kieran was stunned.
"Yup, before I roast the meat, I rubbed some mint leaves on the meat, it can remove the grease and sweetness. Too bad I don't have any wormwood leaves, otherwise, the taste would be even better."
Starbeck couldn't hold back his smile when he saw Kieran tasted the difference.
What else could make a chef happier than meeting a good customer?
The customer didn't just protect the chef wholeheartedly, he even tasted the chef's unique taste.
"I'm really looking forward to the taste of the wormwood leaves."
Kieran said as he buried his head in his food.
When all the roasted meat was gone, Kieran picked up the glass of juice beside him and finished it in one gulp.
Huu!
Kieran leaned back on his chair and sighed in satisfaction.
