Vile Evil Hides Under The Veil

Chapter 1702: Giving Free Rein



1702 Giving Free Rein

'Well… with great fuck-ups come great damage control.'

The butcher had a random thought as he chatted with his wife.

It was not the first time that things hadn't gone the way he had planned initially. So it was easy for him to accept the fact that Kirin would not be able to join him in Labh Salem.

It had almost become second nature for him to improvise them as we progressed forward. Plus, he didn't think that the inadvertent change in his plan was necessarily bad for him.

The more he listened to Kirin and what she had been doing for the last few years the more sure he was of what he wanted her to do from this point on. The butcher decided to make use of the fact that Kirin had landed in Echidna. He had his own plans for Echidna, which he couldn't execute because of the fact that he was in Labh Salem.

However, he came to realize that he didn't need to be physically present to work on his to-do list in a world ruled by monsters. Kirin already knew what he wanted to do in Echidna and had started preparing in that direction, taking initiative.

Kirin could help him achieve his goals in Echidna. As such, Eren told her to prioritize her current project of turning the Oni dungeon into an access point. He was sure that she would have a much easier time doing something like that since he had already taken care of the divine isolation barrier.

There was one more benefit to be had if Kirin managed to turn the dungeon into an access point for her and her allies' use. Eren's non-monster allies would also be able to use the dungeon as a way to get into Echidna.

interests.

Eren didn't want Kirin to face the consequences of his actions in Anfang just because the latter was connected to him. As such, he warned her about the possible consequences that might arise in Echidna if his association with her were to be known. Staying low and doing things in the shadows for the most part was her ideal choice.

Therefore, Eren told Kirin to act prudently and bide her time. He asked her to prioritize safety over efficiency while she executed her tasks in Echidna. After all, Kirin wasn't like him who could make use of the multi-profession choices through Menaka's Blessing.

Eren and Kirin talked with each other for quite some time so much so that the former lost track of time. He found out that Kirin was a lot more talkative if she was on a spectral communication line than she was in real-time, conversing face to face. He smiled to himself and considered it as one of her odd traits as well.

Or maybe she just decided to hit pause on her stoic demeanor for the time being after being able to talk to Eren after so many years had gone by in utter silence. Either way, Eren conversed with Kirin as much as she wanted, answering any question she had for him before their talk turned casual once again.

For the most part, Eren only cautioned Kirin to be careful and shared his thoughts on what he wanted to achieve in Echidna. Apart from that, she was free to execute the tasks however she wanted.

Kirin had been given the free reigns to act according to her best interests first and foremost. She could even abandon the project and go into hiding if she attracted too much heat in Echidna.

Eren knew how Kirin operated. After all, she had done things like these before. It was because of her that the Grim Pillar Town got famous. In a way, it was because of her that he was called Grimdawn in Anfang.

She was bound to go above and beyond his expectations if he didn't limit her actions. And that's what he did while hoping she did not cause too much turmoil in Echidna in future. Of course, he knew that predicting future was not exactly one of his strong suits.
