Chapter 895
Inside "Distributions of underground factions of Naveya City", Emerald Rock was a gang faction whose main operation was assassination, their main base of operations was in a mill in the common district .
Kieran and Starbeck left the temple district and returned to the wealthy district . They passed through the market and finally reached the common district .
Just like how Atrina commented, that city guard commander Delinkt was really not much of a formidable character .
Although there were outposts set up at the two ends of the market which connected the common and wealthy district, there were too many blind spots in between .
One didn't even need professional skills, even a commoners= with quick feet would easily slip through unnoticed, let alone Kieran with above Transcendence [Undercover] and Starbeck with Musou level .
However, when they entered the common district, Starbeck trembled in fear again .
Kieran didn't hold back his plans from Starbeck, so he knew what they were going to do next .
Trying to "negotiate" with a bunch of native killers .
Of course, with Kieran's style, such "negotiation" would be anything but a pleasant process .
When Starbeck thought of the potential danger ahead, he couldn't help but feel extremely anxious .
However, when they entered the mill, his heart was relieved because there was no one!
Though Starbeck immediately realized something and he quietly took a glance at Kieran .
When he noticed Kieran wasn't angry at all, he then truly heaved a long sigh .
Kieran, on the other hand, didn't care about Starbeck's petty movements, he went ahead and checked the entire mill .
"Things are messy and other than the necessities, most of the living supplies are still here . This means the killers of Emerald Rock evacuated the place without a second thought after getting the news . "
"Seems like that person didn't only have constant surveillance on Atrina but has quite the influence on Emerald Rock as well . If that's the case…" Kieran touched his chin and a new theory formed in his head .
Then, he went for a second check around the mill and made sure he didn't miss anything before signaling Starbeck .
Starbeck who was eager to leave didn't question further; he followed behind Kieran closely and returned to Charging Stable Inn .
After they entered their room, Starbeck uncharacteristically went straight to their "goods" .
He took out each and every one of the goods, checking them meticulously .
Kieran glanced over Starbeck's behavior but didn't say anything .
He knew Starbeck would assume they could find some useful information in the goods but when Kieran had decided to disguise as the itinerant merchant, he has already carefully checked the goods yet none of them were noteworthy .
In addition, when Kieran related the matters to the "specifically targeted" order that Mizelle received, the more he assumed the identity of this traveling merchant that he posed was the key to the problem .
"Who is this merchant exactly?" Kieran frowned as he pondered upon the question .
Although Pelker did mention the itinerant merchant was a common one and even his two followers were imposters, Kieran didn't think of it that way .
Why was someone so eager to kill a common merchant?
In addition, that someone wasn't any John Doe either but a person affiliated to the temple factions and has connections to a killer organization .
Starting from that point, the traveling merchant became unusual but it was an undeniable fact that the merchant was indeed weak .
Of course, there were possibilities that the merchant escaped like a cicada sloughing its skin and the one that Pelker killed was just an imposter .
"If that's the case… Things will get much more interesting!"
"The stolen Holy Thorn Grail, a temple deacon that has ties to a killer organization and a traveling merchant from the north…"
Kiera sat on the sofa, his fingers were knocking on the sofa's arm lightly .
