The Devil’s Cage - Chapter 1337

Chapter 1337: 1337






The appraisal process couldn't happen in the inn .

Kieran and Blacksmith greeted Rachel before boarding the train to Emma Street 99th .

They sat side by side . Blacksmith was quiet, and Kieran wasn't a person who would heat up the atmosphere either . He leaned back against the soft seat and looked straight ahead, his mind thinking about the information regarding Saikory, or more precisely, why it was Saikory and not others .

But just like what he told the others before, he didn't know .

Without any useful information, he couldn't deduce anything .

"I hope Hanses and Coll are getting more on their side," Kieran thought with a certain level of confidence .

Coll might not be praiseworthy in terms of combat, but her ability to gather information were very useful .

Although the big city had monitors all over the place, they, of course, belonged to the cyber law enforcers, and players couldn't access them .

But Coll, she was different . In a certain aspect, she was the bane of the cyber law enforcers .

Of course, there was Garwen and Blair too .

Both were new to the group, but Kieran would never underestimate anyone, as he and a lot of veterans were once newbies themselves .

What reason did he have to look down on the two of them?

Moreover, both of them showed extraordinary potential .

Lawless had praised Garwen's vigilance and Blair's courage more than once, also their flawless teamwork .

The more the number, the bigger the power . Garwen and Blair were the exact embodiment of teamwork .

It was similar to the tasks everyone took up this time . No matter how powerful he was, had Kieran done everything alone, he wouldn't be able to be at two places at once . It was a cold hard fact, and Kieran couldn't deny it, just like how he couldn't deny his habit of entering a dungeon world alone .





Was it conflicting?

Not really .

Dungeon worlds had natives living there, who were special themselves . Following the increase in difficulty, the specialty of the natives would only surge .

Any slight misstep could cause Kieran to fall short of a successful run; a slightly severe consequence could doom him forever, and he would die a graveless death .

Kieran wasn't fond of accidents like this, so usually he chose to go alone .

However, the big city was different .

One only had to face players in the big city .

Kieran dealt with other players, and other players were around him as well .

Of course, accidents were inevitable, but the accidents came from players themselves, not something out of their control .

So Kieran didn't mind joining a small group . The main reason, however, was credited to Lawless .

Without Lawless to tie everything together, Kieran might still be alone in the game .

"We have arrived at Emma Street . "

The conductor announced the arrival of their destination . Kieran and Blacksmith alighted from the train one after the other . Kieran then purposely paused for a while, allowing Blacksmith to take the lead .


Although he already knew where Blacksmith's room was, he still maintained his manners .

Blacksmith also stopped for a moment, though, when Kieran paused .





Then?

She strode towards her room . Her steps weren't just big, but also fast as well .

A person had very different reactions when he or she was angry or not .

Sometimes, the expression on a person's face wasn't needed to determine the person's feelings; one could easily notice it from their tone and actions .

Kieran felt Blacksmith's rage, but he couldn't understand why .

Looking at her back, Kieran frowned and quickly followed .

He didn't say anything .

Kieran wasn't good at asking questions first .

He always thought that if a friend wanted to tell him, they would, and if they didn't want to talk about it, it'd be best not to ask about it; otherwise, the friendship might suffer a crack .

Kieran looked heavily upon friendship .

Both of them reached 99th smoothly .

"Wait here," Blacksmith said coldly .

"Okay . " Kieran nodded .

The door was opened and then shut . Once Blacksmith was in her room and sure that Kieran wasn't listening, she took a deep breath .

"DAMN IT!"

She shouted loudly . She dashed towards a practise dummy in a corner of her room .





It was the kind of dummy made out of wood, normally used when practising martial arts .

Blacksmith dished out a punch at the wooden dummy, splitting it in half with a single punch . Then, a kick was launched like an iron whip, and the entire dummy was kicked up from the ground, but it still wasn't the end .

The wooden dummy in the air was pulled back down by Blacksmith and dunked hard on the ground .

Left punch, right punch, left punch, right punch…

By the time Blacksmith stopped, the wooden dummy was beaten into wood chips .

Huu!

A long breath later, Blacksmith clapped her hands and returned to her cold countenance .

She turned around and walked to the working station .

. . .

Outside on Emma Street 99th, Kieran was leaning in the shadows, looking at the sunlight a meter away and waiting patiently .

Whenever shadows enveloped him entirely, Kieran always felt safe from the bottom of his heart .

It wasn't an illusion, but the conclusion of experience after a long time spent in battle .

Striking first to suppress the enemy was better than allowing the enemy to strike and suppress you .

Kieran was in deep thought as he watched the surroundings .

His vigilant character plus the many times in battle branded the habit of inspecting the surroundings in the deepest part of his soul, almost making it his second instinct .

It had its pros and cons .

The cons were that no one would be able to surprise Kieran anymore, but compared to the pros, the cons was not of Kieran's concern .

His eyes stared at a black spot in the sky .

It wasn't the hawk that he remembered from the last time but…

A pigeon, a gray-white pigeon with a letter tied to its legs .

The pigeon fluttered its wings and landed in the spot where the sunlight shone in front of Kieran . It hooted and looked around by turning its head, as if it were searching for something .

Despite being only a meter plus away from Kieran, it didn't notice his presence .

When Kieran extended his hand out of the shadows and grabbed it, only then did the pigeon flutter its wings in panic . It quickly quieted down though .

It wasn't that Kieran had calmed the pigeon down, but rather, it was the pigeon's trained instinct .

He took the waxed, sealed paper from the pigeon's leg . The cowhide paper was nicely sealed with wax; after being dried up, it was not only resistant to water, but was also granted with a tenacity that other paper lacked .

Once he got the letter, he opened his hand and let the pigeon go .

The pigeon flapped its wings and flew up quickly . Soon, it turned into a black dot in the sky, but another faster, more hidden black dot followed the pigeon .

Kieran turned his gaze away from the pigeon . He checked the letter, removed the wax and took the paper out .

The contents were simple; there were only two lines of words .

'Want to know why Saikory?'

'Come to Border Street . '

Kieran couldn't help but smile at the simple message that was purposely altered to conceal the handwriting . He smiled coldly with interest .
