Chapter 1688: Good News

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Trap?!

Hostage?!

Doubts flashed over Song Shi’s clear eyes.

The young lady from Song Shi Family did not understand what Kieran meant. She asked in an attempt to find out more, “You are talking about the battle just now?”

The battle was the only thing she could think of.

The Inhumans and monsters entered the abandoned city separately, similar to the Herders that entered first.

In fact, not just this Battle of Winter Night, the sequence was the same for every other year.

The Battle of Winter Night tended to be biased towards the Herders, which consisted of normal people.

In short, the main protagonist of the battle would never be the common Herders.

“That was just a smokescreen. Since our entry yesterday, the sky suddenly turned dark and then turned bright again and all the killings are to set up this smokescreen, in order to make the short-tempered Inhumans and monsters fight each other. They needed this messy fight to attract all the attention. You guys are just the tag along, those outside are the real targets,” Kieran shook his head.

“Smokescreen? Those outside are the targets? Royan, what did you find out?”

Song Shi wasn’t stupid, Kieran’s words raised an alarm in her heart.

“I’ve found out someone or something in this place that has the ability to change day to night and night to day. On top of that, under this city, there’s another city with a fully functional class system. More importantly, that thing that can change the day and night seems to be working together with the one who controlled the underground city,” Kieran said very calmly but his words shocked Song Shi.

As the eldest daughter in the family, she knew a lot more than the Herders, especially some mystical news and myths.

Changing day into night and night into day!

It might seem impossible in the eyes of the common, probably not logical to even think about it, but Song Shi knew someone who could perform such a grand trick.

However, that someone that she knew of would not have appeared in the Battle of Winter Night, neither would they have anything to do with the monsters in this place.

But if someone who had the ability to change the day was somehow connected to the monsters in this place...

Song Shi dare not ponder upon it anymore.

If before this, Song Shi considered herself as the protagonist of the battle, then after she heard about this someone that could change the day, all the participants wouldn’t even be considered as supporting characters, at most a passerby or canon fodder!

Song Shi knew the strength level of her peers that participated in the Battle of Winter Night very well. She wasn’t the strongest of them all, but definitely top 10, yet it wouldn’t change anything.

She made it into top 10 of the power ranking, so what?

Against that someone that changed day and night, she would be less than a child.

Could Kieran lie to her?

Song Shi might hate Kieran but she hated his cold character only, she never doubted him for a second, never even thinking he had reason to lie.

“Can you tell me everything that happened?” Song Shi asked.

Kieran didn’t say anything, looking at Paladia instead.

Paladia was taking many deep breaths to calm himself down after hearing the terrifying words from Kieran, finally regaining his calm after a while.

“I never related all of this in that way. I was curious why Lord Royan would go against the monsters directly and why he asked who was the strongest of the Inhumans, but now, I think I know why. Ms. Song Shi, it’s like this...”

Paladia smiled bitterly.

Other than Paladia, even Pangnard understood and reacted properly when Kieran mentioned that someone who changed the day. He lowered his voice and explained the situation to Lucan beside him.

Following Pangnard and Paladia’s explanation, Lucan looked more serious than ever.

“Someone set this whole battle up? We are being hunted as prey?” Lucan said.

“Prey? That would be the best case scenario. What I worry about is that we somehow became sacrifices!” Pangnard said in a pale look.

After hearing what Pangnard said, other than Kieran and the two ox and horse, everyone looked extremely ugly.

They knew what Pangnard said sounded very reasonable, and other than that, they knew what would become of themselves if they were treated as sacrifices.

If normal death was feared, death for sacrificial reasons would be worse than dying!

No peace will come to the dead! No one would want to die a restless death!

“But that lord organized this year’s Battle of Winter Night! How can he do such a thing?”

Song Shi frowned in disbelief.

It wasn’t just Song Shi who frowned, after hearing what that lord did and the stories revolving around him, Lucan, Pangnard and Paladia felt the same way.

From their view, that lord wouldn’t have done these kinds of things, there was no reason for him to do so.

The lord wasn’t just respected by the Herders and Inhumans, even the monsters respected him!

It was because that lord truly did things with utmost fairness and justice. He would never favour a side. Even if his own blood made a mistake, punishment will be delivered.

There were many times in the past that the lord came out to solve tricky situations and every decision he made satisfied everyone, including the Inhumans and monsters.

Therefore, when Kieran claimed the Battle of Winter Night, which was organized by that lord, was compromised, it was rather hard for people to accept the fact.

The place was chosen by that lord.

Wouldn’t the lord know what was inside?

It was rather impossible.

Besides, what was the reason for the lord to do this?

Did he really view every participant as a sacrifice?

Question after question popped up in everyone’s heart.

Naturally and subconsciously, all eyes were on Kieran.

The little group had fallen into a messy state, their minds bogged down by the facts they discovered, so eventually they treated Kieran as the leader, the core of the group, but Kieran ignored the gazes and took out another food container, putting it beside the fire.

The heat from the fire made the oil inside the container sizzle.

Kieran looked at the container in anticipation, wanting to know what was inside it.

There was the smell of beef, the sweetness of onions, and a little bit of tomato sourness.

‘Beef brisket stew?’ Kieran wondered.

As for comforting the others?

He wasn’t Starbeck, why would he do such a thing?

More so, from how Kieran viewed the current situation, since they agreed to participate in the Battle of Winter Night, they must be resolute enough to face the worse case scenario.

Even though things would only go worse from here onwards, they should face it boldly and not be scared for the rest of the battle.

Besides, things weren’t that bad yet, and for Kieran, it was the best situation!
