Chapter 166

Just like that, a magnificent day passed.

After that, Shien and the rest did not have the mood to continue walking around. They went straight back to Lazahad's house and prepared to rest.

Tierre seemed to have returned earlier. Shien and the rest did not see her, but they were relieved to know that she was safe and sound.

It was worth mentioning that on the way back, Shien and the rest had heard the passers-by discussing what had happened.

Obviously, Shien and Rosie's [Magic Sword] duel, regardless of the consequences, still had some impact on the royal capital.

However, the royal capital quickly spread the news, claiming that there was an accident in the research of magic. There was a problem with a new type of magic that was being researched, which caused this anomaly.

As for the damage, other than the arena that was temporarily used as a venue for the experiment, there was no other serious damage.

After hearing this news, the people finally understood and were more or less relieved.

However, just like what the king had said, such fake news could be used to deceive the ordinary people, but it was not so easy to deceive the nobles in the royal capital.

Therefore, most of the nobles had already received the news and knew the origin of this anomaly.

Thus, unknowingly, such news began to spread in the circle of nobles.

"An adventurer from the town of Lamigion in the territory of Marquis Murao seems to be very powerful. He was valued by Her Royal Highness Princess Rosie, and he had a duel with the princess. However, he accidentally used too much force, which led to this accident."

Under such circumstances, the information about Shien was instantly investigated by the nobles.

In other words, as Anci said, Shien had already entered the sights of the nobles.

After knowing that Shien was valued by Rosie, many nobles began to pay attention to him.

However, these people did not seem to think that Shien was strong enough to be mentioned in the same breath as Her Royal Highness Princess.

In their opinion, although Shien was strong, it was impossible for him to be compared to Rosie, a modern hero who only appeared once in a thousand years.

Because of this, they believed that the person who "accidentally used too much force" did not include Shien, but only Rosie.

In view of this, they seemed to attach more importance to the relationship between Sean and Rosie than in terms of strength.

"An adventurer valued by Her Royal Highness Princess Rosie …?"

"Her Royal Highness probably wants to recruit him into the Royal Knights, right?"

"To be able to make Her Royal Highness show such strength, and he's only 20 years old, he's indeed worth recruiting."

"However, according to the information, he is only at level 10. Is this true?"

"It can't be at level 10."

"Indeed, it is impossible."

"According to the latest intelligence, while escorting Killian from the Old Demons Faction, this adventurer defeated the attackers of the Old Demons Faction and even defeated that hateful Beetho. Since that's the case, his level should be at least 80 or above."

"But is it possible for a 20 years old adventurer to be at level 80?"

"Impossible."

"That's right."

"I've confirmed with the people from Lamigion. This adventurer seems to have a unique skill that allows him to adjust his level and skills to a certain extent."

"So it's a unique skill?"

"And it's actually such a unique skill …"

"No wonder he could attract Her Royal Highness' attention."

"I hope he knows what's good for him. If he's promoted, he'll be promoted obediently. Don't think that he can take advantage of the opportunity to get close to Her Royal Highness."

"He's just an adventurer. With Her Royal Highness's taste, it's impossible for her to like him."

"That's true."

The nobles carried out similar private exchanges and dug out most of the information about Shien.

At least, the nobles had completely grasped the information on the surface.

However, they had also obtained some information that was not known to others.

For example, some people said that they had heard new information from the female knights around Her Royal Highness. They claimed that the female knights had seen Shien and Rosie being intimate and seemed to be getting along well.

Even the matter of Rosie dragging Shien and Shien slapping off Rosie's hand was heard by these idle nobles.

As a result, many people did not have a good impression of Shien.

Although many people were calmly analyzing and thinking about something, there were many nobles in the royal capital. Naturally, there was no shortage of good-for-nothings who would only blindly look at men who were close to their goddesses.

"Let's find a chance to teach him a lesson."

"Agreed."

"Let him know that even if he has the strength, without status, there are some people he should not touch."

"That's right."

Thus, private exchanges like this began to increase.

Shien would never have thought that in just half a day, so many things had sprouted in the dark.

He only returned to the Lazahad's house with Vivian and the others. After chatting for a while, they all returned to their rooms to have a good rest.

When it was time for dinner, everyone gathered together again and began to eat under the care of the butler and maids.

At this time, Shien and the others finally met the head of the Lazahad family.

"I'm Mijis Lazahad. It seems that my daughter has been taken care of by you. Thank you very much."

At the dinner table, Lily's father, the current head of the Lazahad family, appeared in front of everyone and greeted them.

The nobleman who called himself Mijis was only 34 years old. He looked somewhat similar to Lily, and his attitude toward everyone was very amiable. He did not have the arrogance that a great noble should have.

He was an honorary noble who had been conferred the title of Marquis. He did not have a territory, but he was the head of the Adventurers Guild, which was indispensable in this world. He had a high position and power, and even the royal family would treat him with respect.

It was said that Mijis had married his wife immediately after coming of age at the age of 15. When he was 16, his wife already had Lily. After his wife passed away due to illness, he no longer remarried and raised Lily alone. In this world where nobles could have groups of wives and concubines, he was a rare infatuated man. He was faithful to his wife, and he was well received outside.

He was also a very capable and amiable person, so Lily respected her father very much. The relationship between the father and daughter was so good that they exchanged letters almost every day. As a result, Mijis was very familiar with Lily's current situation.

Because of this, Mijis also knew Shien, and like Lily, he attached great importance to Shien.

"If you have any difficulties, you can tell me. I'll do my best to help as long as it's within my capabilities."

Mijis's amiable words made even Shien have a good impression of him.

Under such circumstances, the dinner was joyful and harmonious.

That night, some nobles had designs on Shien, while others had a good impression of Shien and chose to stand on his side.

Before this, no one would have imagined that an unknown adventurer would be able to stir up such an undercurrent on his first day in the capital, right?
