"Priest Martina, are you going back to the Sicily Temple? I happen to be heading west of the city as well. Let's go together; you can ride in my carriage."
Priest Kerkwon stood under a tree and, seeing Priest Martina approaching, took the initiative to speak.
Priest Martina nodded at his words and asked the two disciples who had come with her to return on their own before getting into Priest Kerkwon's spacious four-horse carriage.
Once the carriage door was closed, Priest Kerkwon shed his formerly feeble demeanor, and even his eyes seemed less cloudy as he said in a deep voice, "We must stop Hirodod."
Priest Martina said nothing, merely waiting quietly for Priest Kerkwon to continue.
"Both you and I know Reeves is not the type to take his own life out of guilt. I heard that as soon as he learned of the incident at Green Field, he sought out Hirodod right away, probably to discuss countermeasures. But shortly after meeting Hirodod, he suddenly died."
