Chapter 198

"But I still have to refuse!"

When Shien said that without hesitation, everyone was dumbfounded.

"What did you say?"

Anxi was astonished.

"Refuse?"

Yule, Jacinta, and the others were also astonished.

"You …"

Even Barry didn't expect Shien to refuse in such a dignified manner under such circumstances. His ruthless and cold face revealed a rare look of astonishment.

Shien really wanted to say, 'That's right, I want to see that kind of expression on your face.'

Of course, on the surface, Shien wouldn't say it out loud.

Shien just said it out loud.

"It sounds like it's my duty, but Your Majesty, I think you guys are mistaken about two things."

Shien said solemnly.

"What is it?"

This time, even Anxi was curious about what Shien would say.

Shien said calmly.

"First, I don't need to prove myself because I didn't do it for the credit. It's just that I don't like the Old Demons Faction … No, I don't think I can let the Old Demons Faction do whatever they want. That's why I decided to do it. I didn't do it for the credit but for the stability of the kingdom and to stop the innocent from being persecuted by those bastards."

Shien's righteous words silenced a lot of people.

Barry didn't expect Shien to say that. His face turned gloomy.

Because it didn't fit his plan.

Originally, Barry thought that in order to prove himself and to be conferred a title and become a noble, Shien would accept the request.

But the starting point of his consideration was completely wrong.

Not everyone wanted to be profitable, and not everyone wanted to become a noble.

Thinking from the perspective of profit, one would passively look at the problem from the perspective of profit. That was why there were people who were too smart for their own good.

And again, not only did Shien not want to get any credit, but he was also eager to reject the conferment.

Therefore, Barry was thinking too much when he asked Shien to prove himself to get the credit he deserved.

As long as Sean did not care about the so-called credit and was still unafraid of boiling water, then all his inducements would be in vain.

So, Shien could refuse without hesitation.

Perhaps he finally realized this point, Barry said in a deep voice.

"Since it's for the stability of the kingdom and the innocent people, shouldn't you contribute to the kingdom and fight the scourge of the Old Demons Faction again?"

Barry actually started to use moral coercion.

But he was still one step behind.

In this aspect, Shien had already thought of an excuse.

Moreover, he had thought of it a long time ago.

Sean knew that once he displayed his strength, he would definitely be valued by many people because of his strength.

Among these concerns, there were good ones and bad ones.

And Shien didn't want to encounter the latter and be used and forced by others.

Because of this, Shien fabricated the ability of his unique skill.

"This is the second thing I want to say."

Sean had a helpless look on his face as he sighed and said.

"Everyone knows that my level is actually very low. The reason why I have the strength to fight the Old Demons Faction is because of my unique skill, which can adjust my level and skills under certain conditions."

"Listen carefully, this is a unique skill that can only be activated when the conditions are met."

"In other words, if I can't meet the conditions, then I'm a weak new adventurer who can't play any role."

"Well, it's hard for me to explain the details to everyone. This is also to prevent people from deliberately targeting me, I hope everyone can understand."

"I'll tell you the conclusion directly. In this situation, I probably can't use my unique skill and can't fight the Old Demons Faction."

At this point, Shien even said with a smile.

"Of course, if you think it doesn't matter to me to die, then pretend I didn't say anything. For the stability of the kingdom and the innocent people, sacrificing a small adventurer like me is nothing. Even if I make a great contribution, if the kingdom wants me to go west, I won't dare to go east. When it's time to die, I'll still die, right?"

As soon as such words came out, everyone was shocked.

Especially Barry, who almost cursed out loud.

After hearing what Shien said, if he still risked his life to fight the Old Demons Faction, wouldn't it be the same as sending him to his death?

A hero who made a great contribution not only didn't get the reward he deserved, but was also sent to his death by the kingdom?

This was definitely going to incite the people to rebel!

Even An Xi didn't know what to say. His brows were tightly furrowed, and he wore a distressed expression.

According to this, Shien really couldn't go?

If he couldn't prove himself, then he wouldn't get the reward?

He couldn't be given a noble title to rope him in?

How … how could he do that?

"Please don't say that, Noble Shien."

Anxi hurriedly expressed his stance.

"I've already said that the kingdom won't mistreat anyone who makes a great contribution. You're being wronged. Not just me, even the people can't accept it."

Good lord, they're also bringing up the people.

But when it came to bullsh * t, who could beat Shien?

Shien became righteous.

"Your Majesty, you're too kind. It's everyone's responsibility to fight for the kingdom and eradicate evil. I'm just fulfilling my duty as an ordinary citizen of the kingdom. How could I feel wronged?"

When it came to sanctimonious appearance, who could compare to the politicians and sociopaths in his previous life?

Wasn't it just a routine speech? Come, come, come, let's have a good discussion.

Sean's awe-inspiring righteousness moved everyone present.

It was impossible not to be moved.

At this point, even if they had to put up a show, they should at least pretend to be moved, shouldn't they?

The group of nobles put on a smile while cursing in their hearts.

In the end, the king and the others couldn't back down and could only continue to persuade him.

"This won't do. We can't let you be wronged."

This was Anxi's way of saying.

"Noble Shien, you're so devoted to the kingdom and the people. As clergymen, we can't just sit by and watch a great man like you get hurt."

Yule was also a little moved.

"Well said, for the kingdom and the people."

Jacinta smiled bitterly.

As for Rosie and Leah, the two princesses, one was speechless and the other couldn't help but laugh because of the change in the situation.

On the other hand, Barry's face was frighteningly dark.

Especially when Shien said such a thing.

"If you think that I've worked hard even if I don't have any merit, then just give me a little benefit."

Shien was very humble, but he revealed his true purpose.

"I'm quite interested in all kinds of magic systems. I wonder if Your Majesty can make it convenient for me and let me read the magic books of all kinds?"

Shien finally bared his fangs.

That's right, this was what Shien really wanted.

What nobles?

He didn't want it!

What he wanted the most was to improve his strength!

So, although he said he didn't want this reward, in fact, he just didn't want the so-called title of nobility that didn't have any use at all.

If it was a magic book, then he had to take it!
