Kieran's left finger plunged into the scarlet eyeball, causing the semi-gelatinous blood to flow out but it was evaporated by the exploding lightning.
Aaaargh!
Amidst the uncontrollable agonizing cry, a figure fell to the ground, twitching.
Under the moonlight, the figure was charred black and soon lost all signs of life.
[Brutal Hand of Thunder, Lightning Strike]!
Although it was just a Strong level lightning strike, it pierced the eyeball and went straight to the brain, making it a fatal strike.
Kieran opened the window and stood in the room, looking out at the dead body on the floor.
Without the moonlight, Kieran's SSS + Intuition allowed him to see the body clearly.
The dark leather armor, soft soled boots, the dagger in the hand and the pouch on the waist were telling Kieran that the person was a thief.
But …
The calluses on the person's hand didn't look like it was from using a dagger all year round.
It should be a thicker hilt.
Also, the person's body looked a little too buff even with the leather armor covering it.
Of course, the most important point was that every qualified thief should know how to avoid light, especially moonlight.
Kieran jumped out from the window and squatted down in front of the body to check it carefully.
When he saw the two clean potions in the bag, the person's identity was confirmed without a doubt.
"A warrior disguised as a thief?
"An unqualified impersonator!"
Hiring such a person to make a move …
Did he choose his trusted men to keep it a secret?
Or was he so eager that he didn't want me to see the sun rise the next day?
Seems like my title as a sheriff is much more hated than I thought. "
Kieran muttered to himself and showed a ridiculing smile.
Further away, the startled civilian soldiers rushed over quickly.
The young militia captain ran at the front with a basket in his hand.
When the civilian soldiers saw the dead body in front of Kieran, their faces changed and they looked at Kieran nervously.
The young Militia Captain quickly checked the corpse. After a few moments, he stood up with an ugly expression.
"It's the mercenary guards from Eddie Merchant Group.
"These damn mercenaries!"
"They are too audacious!"
Although the militia captain was young, he had enough experience. After a simple investigation, he roughly understood what happened.
But it was also because of this that the young man became even more furious.
Shatterstone Town was the home of the youngsters.
There was no doubt that the young man liked this home very much. He welcomed any guest who brought prosperity to this home, but he would not show mercy to those who dared to destroy this home.
"Sir, I beg you to inspect the Eddie Caravan!"
The young man said to Kieran in a formal tone.
"Sure."
Kieran nodded.
Although he did not think that the young man would gain anything.
Even though the other party couldn't wait to get rid of him, since they dared to use someone with an obvious identity, as long as the other party wasn't an idiot, they would definitely be prepared.
As for this mercenary acting on his own accord?
Please.
The sheriff's curse had spread throughout Shatterstone Town.
Any normal person wouldn't come to the police station in the middle of the night.
The young man brought a few more militiamen away in a hurry, leaving the other two to guard the body. Kieran, on the other hand, grabbed the basket and brought the Frost Wolf pup back to the police station.
The newly lit candles shone brightly in the hall of the police station.
The food in the basket was taken out by Kieran one after another.
The cornbread and sausages mixed with wheat bran were reheated and placed on a plate. The bowl beside it was filled with mushroom soup and the only pot in the room was a faint alcoholic aroma. It was a low alcohol ale, obviously home-brewed.
Kak!
Kieran broke the cornbread. The reheated cornbread was crispy and the taste of the wheat bran was infused into it. Especially when it entered his mouth, the coarse texture and the delicate cornbread caused an intense clash, giving Kieran a refreshing feeling.
He never thought he would taste such food in the police station.
With slight anticipation, Kieran put a piece of sausage into his mouth.
As his teeth chewed, the rich oil filled his mouth and mixed with the cornbread. After a mouthful of mushroom soup, Kieran squinted his eyes in satisfaction.
Of course, Kieran didn't forget about the Frost Wolf pup.
He picked up a piece of cornbread and tossed it to the pup.
The pup caught the cornbread accurately but it still looked at Kieran with its sparkling eyes, wagging its tail non-stop.
It seemed like the pup's mother's bloodline was on display at this moment.
Kieran picked up another piece of sausage and tossed it to the pup.
After another steady catch, the pup swallowed the piece of sausage in mid-air and continued wagging its tail at Kieran.
"The cornbread tastes good too."
Kieran suggested to the pup.
However, it wasn't effective.
The pup sniffed the piece of cornbread that was caught and then turned its head around and wagged its tail at Kieran.
"Fine then.
We'll split it in half, half for each of us. "
Kieran smiled and gave half of the sausage on the plate to the pup.
Kieran was never stingy towards his comrades.
Just like how he would never touch that bottle of wine.
Even if the alcohol content was low.
Dinner soon ended.
The young man who left quickly walked up to Kieran.
Compared to the rage when he left, the young man's face was even uglier now.
"My lord, the Edi Merchant Group is gone!
"I've asked the owner of the inn. Before the sky turned dark, he had delivered food and drinks to the caravan. They must have left quietly after the sky turned dark," said the owner of the inn.
I'm sorry, it's my fault. "
Kieran didn't want to say it but the truth was right in front of him, he wasn't a person who would deny.
"Can you bring me to that hotel?"
Kieran asked.
He wouldn't scold the young captain at such a critical moment.
It wasn't Kieran's fault to begin with.
Quite the contrary, the fact that he was able to admit his shortcomings made Kieran's impression of him even better.
"Of course."
Kieran nodded.
With Kieran leading the way, Kieran soon arrived at the biggest hotel in Shatterstone Town, Dwarf Wine Cup and Rice Basin.
The security office and Dwarf Wine Cup and Rice Basin weren't far away, both were beside the town square.
The owner of the hotel was already standing in front of the entrance anxiously.
When he saw the young man and Kieran, he quickly went up to them.
"Captain Volgen."
"Lord security officer."
Although Kieran had just arrived in Shatterstone Town, the news couldn't be kept a secret, especially from someone like Old Peeker.
The young captain glared fiercely at the soldier who stayed behind and the soldier quickly lowered his head, not daring to meet Kieran's gaze.
The scene was self-explanatory in Kieran's eyes.
However, Kieran didn't care. It would be strange if Old Peeker didn't have the means to open the biggest hotel in Shatterstone Town.
As for the actions of the civilian soldiers?
The civilian soldiers weren't the official army, they weren't real warriors either. Even if they had some income, it was meager and it was normal for them to want more.
But there was one thing that wasn't normal.
Kieran looked at the other side of the town square, opposite the security office: the mayor's office.
Because of the incident just now, the whole of Shatterstone Town was woken up. Candles were lit up everywhere, the mayor's office in darkness was very eye-catching.
