Chapter 1446
The cry of shock came from the riverside, instantly attracting the two groups of deacons .
“What happened?”
The deacon who led the group to gather fruits and vegetables in the forest drew his sword and rushed over to the riverside . However, when he saw the scene, he and the deacon tasked to fish were stunned on the spot .
On top of the flowing river, an elusive figure appeared .
The shallow brilliance offset the pure moonlight from the sky, like a thin veil over the figure, blocking its voluptuous body . Despite that, the big fish tail on the lower part of the figure’s body was very eye-catching, let alone the scales on the fish tail glimmering colorfully, like corals in the sea .
The face of the figure, however, was blurred out by the varieties of light .
“This…this…”
A dozen temple deacons were astonished by the colorful elusive figure, who was floating on top of the river . They were at a loss for words, as were the civilians behind them .
The priest, who later rushed over, looked heavy though .
“Are you the God of this river?” the priest who was in charge of cooking dinner asked carefully .
The mermaid figure slightly nodded .
Although the face was blocked by the reflecting light, the nodding was clear to the eyes .
Right away, the priest knelt down on the spot .
“Please forgive our ignorance . Please forgive us . ”
After the priest kneeled down, the deacons and civilians followed .
In a world where many Gods roamed the land, anyone would know how to react before a divine being .
However, after the River God glanced over the kneeling group, it looked further behind them .
Kieran was there . He strode over and stood in front of the group, looking at the River God with a calm gaze .
The priest who knelt down was worried sick at the situation, his heart almost leaping out of his chest . He was extremely nervous, afraid a battle that could have been avoided would break out .
And given the rumours about Sir Ryan’s temper… it might be inevitable .
As for worries? It was non-existent in Sir Ryan’s mind .
Sir Ryan wasn’t just commonly powerful . Although a mortal, he possessed the title of Godslayer . A powerful Naveyan God like Lady Wealth fell under the merciless blade of Sir Ryan, therefore, the nameless River God before him would not be a match at all .
But, once the priest thought how the battle was caused by dinner, he felt ridiculous and absurd .
However, the priest, together with the deacons and civilians behind him, was astonished by the jaw-dropping scene . They saw the River God slightly bow to Sir Ryan!
A bow?!
Everyone unconsciously gasped at the scene .
As they were dumbstruck, the River God vanished into the waters, leaving two beautifully knit baskets by the riverside .
Inside the baskets were fruits and fishes .
Each fruit in the basket was big and fresh; each fish in the basket was fat and lively .
What was the meaning of this? An offering?
Unconsciously, a thought appeared in the minds of the kneeling priest, deacons, and civilians .
A God offering to a ‘mortal’?
No! Impossible! How could a God make an offering to a mortal?!
It must be…
Suddenly, a bold guess appeared in their minds .
Then, instinctively, the crowd altered their kneeling direction by shifting their knees .
Kieran saw the small change but he didn’t stop them, because it was what he sought .
He bent down, grabbed a fruit, and took a bite .
A clear crunching noise later, his tongue was filled with sweetness, causing him to squint his eyes in delight, as expected of the fruit handpicked by Starbeck .
That’s right, the fruits and fishes were all from Starbeck .
Kieran always kept food in his bag . Not much, but before he entered a dungeon world, he would restock his bag every time .
No one knew what he would run into in the dungeon world .
After Starbeck found out about Kieran’s little habit, he would select some appropriate supplies for him to bring on his adventures .
This time was no exception . Other than the fruits and the fishes, there were also some bentos with cooked food and a few canned goods with special effects .
Of course, the latter wasn’t usable in the situation at hand . The fruits and fishes would suffice .
“Lucky!”
Kieran couldn’t hold back his praise after he saw how much work Starbeck had saved him from doing . He gripped the [Hair Washer Conch Shell] tightly in his palm, nodded at the priest kneeling behind him, and went back where he came from .
[Hair Washer Conch Shell], a Magic rank item that he got from his previous dungeon runs .
There wasn’t a useless item, only a useless player .
No one in the big city would have thought a Magic rank item would be so inconceivably useful during rank V .
As he savoured the feeling of the jumping fire in his mind, Kieran lifted his mouth into a grin .
He knew this was just the start and in time, rumours would brew and spread further .
When the rumour reached a certain level, it would cause some obvious, qualitative change .
“Thank you, the Gods of this world,” Kieran thought in his mind .
Could he sleep at night after deceiving people like this?
No .
Compared to the God of Harvest, who had abandoned his believers, Kieran tended to think of himself as a person who put in effort to get his righteous reward . He had protected these people, shielded them from harm, and delivered them to a safe place . He should be rewarded in a way .
The only difference was his reward this time was very ‘abstract’ .
Dinner was served faster than he expected .
When Kieran came down from the wagon, he clearly felt the change in the gazes of the people around him, including Archpriest Pelder .
It seemed like he had underestimated how fast natives spread rumours .
“What’s wrong, Pelder?”
Kieran asked the obvious while receiving his dinner—freshly baked bread and a bowl of fish soup was the main course, while fruits with vegetables garnished around the plate complemented the meal .
Dinner wasn’t exactly delicate, but fulfilling enough, considering it was served outdoors and at night .
Especially the extra golden-grilled fish in Kieran’s dinner, which was served only to him, yet no one voiced any objections .
It wasn’t just due to Kieran’s strength anymore . It was also because of what had just happened by the riverside: a respectful offering from the God!
Even though it was a nameless God, it was enough for the natives to feel revered .
Plus, it was witnessed by multiple people, including the deacons . Therefore, no one would doubt whether it was fake or an illusion .
Hesitating for a while, Archpriest Pelder finally made up his mind to ask .
He softened his voice, to the point that only the two of them could hear and asked Kieran carefully .
“Sir Ryan, have you… ascended to Godship?”
