Chapter 562: Incoming Strike
Translator: Dess Editor: EbonyFrost
The book cover was yellowish but the pictures on it were very lively .
"What is this!?"
Kieran saw the picture of the dragon-snake like creature and quickly lifted up the book .
In fact, when Kieran started his investigation through the books, he was ready to start off with the obvious pillar creatures and also Saint Brilliant High School .
No doubt those lead him to a dead end .
Saint Brilliant High School was nothing but a normal high school, no valuable information was written in the books about it .
As for those sculpture creatures, it wasn't possible for Kieran to identify them if he didn't carefully read through the books but he didn't have that much time on his hands .
So, he was prepared to approach the matter in a more direct way .
Asking .
The population in Flame City was definitely not at the least number within the whole dungeon world, though before he even began to ask, he gained a surprising find .
"The Great Swamp?"
Kieran raised a brow when he saw the strange name . He continued flipping through the books but what made him speechless was, other than the mention of the name itself, there was only another term describing it as one of the Grand Fiend bloodlines in recent ancient times .
Nothing more than that was found, but Kieran didn't give up .
Knowing a name was better than nothing at all .
At least he could climb the vines, in search for more leads on the name .
He took up the books and trying to find more related records about the name .
Yet, disappointment struck him again, all the books in the room hadn't written down anything about the Great Swamp, let alone finding a detailed description .
"Are the details in some even more secretive books?" Kieran muttered softly .
The books before Kieran was all of Lee's collection, which he was quite certain of it but at the same time, it also determined that the books weren't too much of a value or high level .
Even though Lee was responsible for the whole branch office of the Funeral Society in the district, with his attitude and character, all he required in his books would be the needs to help him climb up higher in the ranks .
The books in the room were just tools for Lee to better grasp his current position in the society .
Using Lee's perspective as a starting point, it would be natural that his book collections were limited . Though judging from Kieran's limited experience in the current dungeon world, even if Lee wanted to acquire more high-level books, it wasn't really possible for him .
The more secretive the knowledge in the books, the higher the value .
The saying was applicable in almost every instance . With how Lee behaved and presented himself, he was far from able to approach such books .
The person-in-charge of the Funeral Society branch office .
The title might sound decent, but seeing how Lee treated even a common Fiend Hunter with utmost reverence and respect, it was safe to say that without the title, he was just a high-level receptionist .
Though, Lee did possess a certain level of capabilities .
Kieran commented on him a second time when he brought news that the millionaire who lost his portrait wanted to meet .
After a quick tidy up, Lee brought in a middle-aged man into Kieran's room .
"This is Sir Artitelgar . "
"This here is Master Bird of Death . "
Lee introduced both parties and quickly left the room, leaving the meeting to Kieran .
The moment the door was shut, the well dressed middle-aged man that seemed very energetic with a small mustache was eyeing Kieran with a judging glare .
His gaze wasn't sharp by any means but seemed to be hiding something .
Soon enough, the millionaire's eyes were placed on the icebox with [Merman's Meat] in it and before Kieran could utter a word, he quickly said, "Name your price, I can accept any price as long as it's not too absurd . I can even look past the fact that you stole Artitelgar's Portrait . "
