Chapter 962: 962
"Secret bazaar" .
Open only once a month .
No matter which it was, it allowed Kieran to think of Broker .
"A year ago, the secret bazaar appeared around Shatterstone Town . It regularly sells potions and equipment that's uncommon to the common market so it attracts a lot of merchants, mercenaries, bandits, and robbers around Supreme Road . Sometimes, it will have one or two precious treasures on sale as well!"
"No matter how I look that it, this secret bazaar is exactly like the one back in the game . Broker placed an obvious "landmark" near Shatterstone Town and sent this "Modi" to destroy the town… The level of coincidence…"
Kieran muttered in his heart while his eyes squinted .
He picked up the smell of a conspiracy since he never believed in coincidences .
Therefore, he needed more precise and detailed information regarding this "secret bazaar" .
He wanted to know what Broker was up to .
Of course, it might be also a trap specifically targeted at the latecomers . That was the reason why Kieran wanted Old Peeker with him on the trip .
. . .
With two baskets and a bundle of fresh grass, Old Peeker was having a hard time traveling on the badlands . The reddish, sturdy and irregular road caused endless pain to his feet .
However, the hotel owner dared not voice his dissatisfaction .
Not only because Kieran was behind him, but also because it was a custom the locals had to follow .
All the locals knew Supreme Road formed by the Celestial, Fenrir, by walking through the path of the iron bramble because Fenrir took pity of the people suffering from sickness, plague, and famine .
As the Celestial Fenrir walked, his blood was flowing along the iron bramble . The iron bramble that swords and knives couldn't cut, a fire that couldn't burn started to melt away and eventually melted into nothing .
What vanished along with the iron bramble was the sickness, plague, and famine that terrorized the mortal realm and of course, Celestial Fenrir himself .
Legend had it, Celestial Fenrir exhausted the last bit of his divine power and his body turned into the reddish badlands . The badlands were barren and had nothing but sturdy rocks .
Still, the people thanked Celestial Fenrir by naming the barren badlands Supreme Road and honored Celestial Fenrir as the Supreme God .
However, there were also those who showed disdain and mocked Fenrir . Whenever they would go through Supreme Road, they would be cursed .
Old Peeker who was born in a town near Supreme Road knew the power of the curse deeply, he dared not even show the least disrespect or insult to Fenrir .
Kieran too knew the legend from his simple memories but he was different from Old Peeker who showed fear and reverence .
He only maintained the simplest respect for the Celestial Fenrir because of his power .
Kieran saw a real God before and not all of them were fair .
The Gods even fell short compared to righteous human beings in a certain aspect, at least a righteous man wouldn't betray his friends .
Kieran didn't really know how righteous the legendary Fenrir was but he was quite reluctant to believe the acts of sacrificing himself to protect others .
Therefore, Kieran was showing respect purely for Fenrir's strength .
The strong should be respected .
Kieran was behind Old Peeker the whole journey . The two of them finally stopped in the afternoon .
"My lord, it's just ahead of us . "
Old Peeker pointed at a hill farther away .
From the looks of it, the mentioned hill was no different from those along the way but Kieran's senses picked up something deeper in the hills .
More precisely, there was something deep underground there, a very uncomfortable presence as if he was standing beside a cliff at night without any support and leaned down for a look .
