Kieran's serious expression turned into a delighted smile.
His sudden change of expression shocked Simones.
"2567? Are you okay?" he asked anxiously as he took out the [Calming Balm] he had with him all the time.
"It's nothing, I just find it funny that I'm frightened by the Shepherds."
Kieran waved the balm away with a smile.
"The Shepherd of Death may have shared the same name and rank as the five major societies, but that was during their prime! It's been almost 30 years since they were eliminated by Rei. Even if they did rise back from the ashes and gathered their remaining forces, they would only recover a little of their former glory. Otherwise, they wouldn't have appeared now that Rei is missing!"
"Rei and the major five societies went missing at the same time. This was a great opportunity for them to rise again, devour the other small factions and reclaim their power. They only sent an invitation to me though. What does that mean?" Kieran stared at Simones.
"Maybe they are afraid of being discovered?" Simones guessed.
"Yes, they are afraid! The Shepherds do not possess the confidence and abilities to take down the other factions, even without Rei and the other major societies, so they need to spread their name to show their strength! I am the unlucky guy Rei made a prophecy about, so I am the best possible target!" Kieran nodded.
"A lean camel is bigger than a horse, 2567! You need to be careful when you face the Shepherds! Especially considering their ability to control the dead!" Simones reminded Kieran.
"Don't worry, I value my life quite a bit! By the way, how did Rei go missing? What really happened?" Kieran asked in a serious tone, holding back his smile.
It was a question he'd wanted to ask ever since he had seen the description of [The Shaman's Partner II].
"It was that 'thing'! Don't ask me what it is, I really have no idea! Rei never told me much. She knew it would be bad for a half-ass like me to know too much. Other than the fact that Rei and the major five societies went missing because of that 'thing', I really don't know much more than you and Elli! If I could just…"
Before Simones could finish his words, he sighed and gave Kieran a bitter smile.
He looked more disconsolate than he had ever before.
Simones seemed to think that he was unable to do anything to help. His helplessness had increased even more and it felt more like remorse.
It seemed like Simones knew more than it met the eye, but he was not willing to reveal any more.
Kieran was not about to underestimate anyone within Nikorei's acquaintance circle, nor would he force them to talk about something they felt unpleasant about.
He quickly changed the topic.
"So can you help me investigate the Blood Queen Tiara and the Fantos' manuscript?"
Kieran switched the topic back to the list he had found in the Cursed Society's secret room.
"No problem, leave it to me!" Simones promised, accepting the task.
The two of them continued their casual conversation. Most of the time, Kieran was listening and Simones was talking.
They ended the session at about 1 a.m. at night. Kieran went back up to his room after telling Simones goodnight.
The rewards Kieran had gathered from all the other societies had been moved to his room.
He turned on the table lamp and got ready to go through the books he had gathered about [Mystical Knowledge].
Kieran was also planning on resting after an hour or two, as he still had to investigate Sunshine Mary in the morning. Otherwise, he would not have minded reading all night.
He first went through the books he had gotten from the Fiery Hounds' place. He shook his head in disappointment. He had read those books before.
He had also read half of the books he had gotten from the Cursed Society.
Fortunately, there was also the other half. It was enough for him to read for the time being.
When Kieran picked up a book named "Stars and Destiny
