Chapter 697: A Lucky Hit?
Translator: Dess Editor: EbonyFrost
Looking at the [Sister Reid Statue], the gears in Kieran's brain spun fast .
Why was Damien so familiar with the late Chief Friar of Marulyn?
Or, what was the reason that a notorious member of the Twenty Hounds of the Elder Council had gotten such an extensive understanding of a church that vanished throughout the river of time?
Benefits!
The simplest and truest answer!
Then, what would the benefits be?
Some powerful items? Or some chord-striking legacies?
Such thoughts almost appeared out of instinct in Kieran's mind, it set his heart ablaze .
Because, other than those, Kieran couldn't think of a reason why would Damien risk inciting war between the Elder Council and the Saint Relic Association to touch the [Sister Reid Statue]?
Despite the fact that the Elder Council were notorious for being lunatics, Kieran believed the men who were addressed as such weren't idiots .
Idiots couldn't become an existence that people feared, let alone those who feared them were mystical individuals themselves .
The [Sister Reid Statue] must have some special secret within it .
A secret that could be known only by resonating with the statue!
"The fake Gannett wasn't captured for long and he was still able to resonate with the statue's power . The technique or spell shouldn't be that complicated and might even be very simple, but it was restricted to Damien and his kind…"
Kieran slightly frowned when he thought about it . Even though he theorized that the secret spell wasn't complicated, it was still difficult for him because he had absolutely no knowledge of the special spell .
Even the incantations, the gestures, it might even be some kind of ritual…
Hold on… Rituals?!
Kieran suddenly thought of the scene he saw in the illusory realm .
When the friars were praying at the statue, the statue changed .
Although the illusions were only partially real, similar to how Damien imitated Gannett, who could tell whether he hid the truth amongst the lies?
"Oh Saint Reid My Lord, We ask of your light to dispel the darkness!"
"Oh Saint Reid My Lord, We ask of your light to protect the weak!"
"Oh Saint Reid My Lord, We ask of you to bring peace upon us again!"
Kieran stood in front of the [Sister Reid Statue] and prayed softly .
The chants were fractions from that illusory realm that night, it wasn't the complete version .
That phrase "Our lives will be the cost for the harmony of us all! Oh, Saint Reid!" would never come out from Kieran's mouth no matter what .
Even though he was very excited about the possibility of an item or a legacy, the excitement didn't cause him to lose his sense .
The reason Damien chose a captive to complete the resonance couldn't only be because his powers conflicted the statue's but there was also a high possibility was that it might require him to pay a certain cost .
Under such circumstances, Kieran would never be careless .
The prayers came out of Kieran's mouth clearly but the [Sister Reid Statue] remained unchanged .
The statue was still staring at him with a merciful look .
"No reaction? Do I need to follow the friars and kneel down?"
Kieran frowned once again . He hated the salutation of kneeling before anything .
In fact, when he first learn about the saying "Kneeling before your parents is the reasonable act even in the heavens", such disgust rooted deep in his heart since then .
It was because he was an orphan . When he arrived on earth, he was abandoned . If that someone didn't notice him in time, he would have died in that box .
If he was fortunate enough, he would have been buried in the ground . Less fortunate, he would have ended up being snacks for the stray dogs to fight over .
