During his life back onEarth, Kiernan used to traverse across the world, and during his life, he visited every country in the world.
However, during his travels, he spent more time back in Germany, where he trained against their greatest masters.
With his time there, he also learned their language, and to this day, he has the basics of German down pat.
While the people of this world wouldn’t have any idea what was written in the ancient text on the wall, he very much understood it perfectly.
"I’ve heard about these ancient texts of the Old World. I think that language is dead, as no one has been able to decipher it."
Aoi said and looked worryingly at Kiernan, and she wanted to touch him, but she was afraid that she would cause him to hurt.
’It’s not a dead language. It’s just a language that is not of this world. I guess this pretty much confirms that there have been other reincarnators.
’Does that mean that the creator of this dungeon is a reincarnator? Or could it be that some reincarnator just happened to write these things on the wall?
’Maybe there are other German books in this world that the reincarnator has written. I’d be quite curious if they wrote anything about their experiences.’
Kiernan thought, then looked at the text and quickly translated it inside his mind.
’This child shall be named as Red Shield Menace! I think that’s a cutesy name, and I shall make him care about his shield very much!
Kiernan immediately got a feeling that the reincarnator was a woman. A young woman. And she was clearly the creator of this dungeon.
Kiernan thought it must be the person’s initials and wondered if he had heard of a person with those initials anywhere.
It didn’t take long for him to know one person.
’Mercedes Rosburg...’
It would fit since the dungeon had been standing in Rodero since ancient times, and Mercedes was a being of ancient times.
She was also a woman, but from what he heard, she was a very evil one, and he didn’t quite get the feeling of malice from the written text.
Those texts made Mercedes seem like an innocent young woman, but on the other hand, this dungeon was also created to kill people.
He was conflicted about what to feel.
’I must bring this information over to the Martial Order’s notice during the next meeting. I don’t have to go and talk in the chat, as I can just do that during the meeting.’
"Kiernan, shouldn’t we go? I think we need to take you to the medic master as soon as possible to get a good look at your back."
While she was saying that, the double granite doors creaked wide open, and they now had an opening to leave the boss room.
"It’ll be alright. Why don’t you go and sell that red gem while I go get my back treated?"
"Are you sure you don’t want me to come with you?"
"I will be just fine alone. It’s risky to keep carrying that red gem around, and it’s just better to sell it quickly. Take a visit to the bank as well to deposit the money, and that should be enough to last for a couple of months."
"Okay... I’ll do as you say!"
Instead of heading to the medic master, Kiernan returned to the inn room, and when he stepped inside, Fen jumped from behind the sofa.
Kiernan kneeled before Fen, and it was as if he felt his master’s pain; he started licking his hand.
[Fenrir Used Pawradise Kiss!]
The healing power of the kiss helped some of the pain to leave Kiernan’s body, but the back didn’t really get healed.
Kiernan checked the wound from the mirror, wryly smiled, and put the shirt back on.
"I expected it to not really work, which is why I had another plan..."
He walked into the vacant room.
He quickly prepared everything for the Trade Ceremony, and then he pulled out his phone and messaged Cold Shade in the Martial Order app.
[Revenant: I need a healing potion for my back. I got hit with acid blood, and some of my flesh melted off. I can give you information in exchange]
While the Martial Order had grown closer, he couldn’t just go and ask for something as valuable as powerful healing potions without paying in return.
It wouldn’t be hard to get healing potions that heal bones and such, but something as powerful as restoring his back to its former condition was much more rare and expensive.
He believed that Cold Shade had some, as she was the master potion maker of the Lurian Kingdom.
[Cold Shade: To completely restore the flesh from something like acid blood is not expensive. I don’t mind giving potions that can heal you somewhat but will leave behind some scars]
[Revenant: I don’t mind scars, but it’s better for my sanity to get it fully healed. Do you have something more potent, as I believe the knowledge I have is pretty valuable]
Kiernan didn’t want the scars to remain, as Aoi would keep blaming herself for that, and he didn’t want that.
[Cold Shade: I do... not much, but I do. What kind of knowledge, though?]
[Revenant: I know what Soul Fragment is for]
’It’s dangerous information to share, as it might give Cold Shade an idea that I have Magical Beast in my possession, but I don’t have another choice.
’I think it is very important knowledge, as it’s not widely common, and she can use that knowledge later to trade with other members of the Martial Order.’
[Cold Shade: Really... First of all, am I able to use that knowledge right away?]
[Revenant: I don’t think so, but I don’t know]
[Cold Shade: So, most likely not, so I wouldn’t know if that knowledge is correct, is that right?]
[Revenant: That’s right]
[Cold Shade: It looks like you’ve known about it for a while, and even though I told you to tell me about it as soon as you found out, you didn’t]
[Cold Shade: I don’t blame you for it. I suppose it only means that knowledge is more valuable than what I gave you]
’Heh, she is indeed correct. The knowledge she gave me wasn’t worth the knowledge about Soul Fragment’s usage.’
[Revenant: You interested?
[Cold Shade: I am indeed. I’ll send you the potion over]
They quickly did the Trade Ceremony, and the flesh-healing potion appeared in the room after the candles got blown out.
[Cold Shade: Remember, don’t drink that, and instead splash it over the wound. It should work immediately!]
