Chapter 199

It had to be said that at this point, the audience had changed.

No, it should be said that it had changed again.

Originally, this was a reward ceremony for meritorious subjects.

Later on, due to the selfishness of the nobles, this reward ceremony became a battlefield for political power and interests.

But now, because of Shien, this battlefield had become a reward ceremony, and it was a ceremony where everyone came to persuade Shien to accept the reward.

Yes.

In the end, all the nobles and Anxi had started to persuade Shien to accept the reward.

They had no choice. If they didn't let Shien accept the reward, they would collapse.

From the beginning to the end, Sean looked like he would not accept a reward if he did not deserve it. What came out of his mouth were all kinds of righteous and righteous remarks, making him almost a saint. He was just short of ascending to heaven and becoming the savior of the world.

Under the baptism of Shien's righteous words, the nobles felt as if they were being brainwashed. They actually had the ambition to sacrifice their lives for the country.

This shocked many of the nobles. They desperately shook their heads, unwilling to accept these super brainwashing words of justice. But Shien's words came out of his mouth one after another, without any repetition at all. It was enough to shake the determination in everyone's hearts.

Under such circumstances, some nobles even felt ashamed. They felt that they didn't contribute to the country, that they were parasites that were useless, and that their lives were a complete waste of resources. This made the nobles even more terrified.

Therefore, they no longer cared about benefits. What was more important now was to protect their minds from being brainwashed into a thousand holes.

Thus, everyone started to persuade Shien, but Shien rejected them relentlessly. Every time he spoke of a selfless sacrifice, even Pope Yule's faith was almost shaken.

In the end, Anxi even wanted to force the title of nobility onto Shien's head.

But at this time, Shien still had something to say.

"No, no, there are too many doubtful points in this incident. We can't rule out that I'm a problematic person. This is what the Duke said. Everyone just agreed with him. How can we change our minds now?

"What if I'm actually a spy of the Old Demons? What if I'm the one who directed and acted that scene? What if the Old Demons want to plant their eyes and ears in the kingdom and cause destruction? "

"What? You said that a spy can't kill a person of the Old Demons? You're overthinking it. Beetho is just a branch of the Old Demons, and it's already declining. If sacrificing a fellow Demons can achieve the goal of intervening in the kingdom's political power, then the other Old Demons will definitely be happy to do it.

"So, don't let a suspicious person like me become a noble. Just give me some random magic books as a reward and send me away."

Everyone was dumbfounded by Sean's words, and Barry's face was as dark as water. His expression was rather ugly.

That was because Shien's words directed everyone's dissatisfaction to Barry.

"It's all Duke Stringham's fault. Why did he have to find trouble?"

"That's right."

"So what if that demon gets the reward? What's the big deal?"

"Even if he's conferred a title, he's just a low-ranking baron. What threat can he pose to us?"

"To Her Royal Highness Rosie, a baron-level noble is basically no different from an ordinary adventurer. It's impossible for him to become a noble just because he obtained the title of a baron, right?"

"If I knew this would happen, I would've just let him take the reward."

"He's asking for it."

Some of these nobles started to blame Barry, while others started to regret their actions. Compared to their initial attitudes, it was like heaven and earth.

In the end, under the situation where Barry was constantly ridiculed, Anxi was completely speechless by Shien. There was no way he could confer the title of baron to Shien.

Since Barry had already been criticized to this extent, he couldn't really force the title of baron to him, could he?

What kind of losers would the nobles of the kingdom become?

Hence, in the end, Anxi was almost brainwashed by Shien. He had a terrible headache and hurriedly ended the meeting.

That's right.

In the end, the meeting ended in such a hurried manner under such a farce.

The result of the meeting was also very simple.

Baylon and the others were rewarded according to their contributions. Some were rewarded with precious magic weapons, magic tools, or magic potions, and some were rewarded with wealth, which was money. It could be said that this trip was complete.

It was the same for Sean. With the approval of the king, he had obtained the qualification to enter the underground magic library of the palace. He could browse through the books collected from the kingdom and even from all over the world. Among them, there were some rare magic books of the magic system. Except for the forbidden library that was sealed with forbidden books, Sean could study as he pleased. However, he was not allowed to plagiarize or take the books out of the library. The time limit was one month.

In addition, the Temple of Light and the Demons also gave Shien a reward in the form of gratitude.

The Temple of Light promised Shien that he could enter the Inner Temple once.

The Demons gave him a rare magic wand, which was said to be expensive.

"On behalf of the Temple of Light, I welcome Shien at any time."

Yule said to Shien in a kind and amiable manner.

"Shien, right? Hmm, I'll remember this name. "

On the other hand, Jacinta smiled at Sean and left after leaving those words.

Other than that, the first princess, Liadella, also found Shien after the meeting.

"You're really an interesting man. If you're free, come to my bedroom for a visit."

The princess smiled sweetly at Sean, and then left with a cold and elegant female knight.

The rest of the nobles could not wait to leave Shien and go back to read books on the manners of the nobles. They wanted to turn back their brain circuits that were almost brainwashed into saints, so they ran away as if they were escaping.

Barry had also disappeared at some point.

Sean, on the other hand, was naturally elated. He left the hall with Vivian and the others, who did not know whether to laugh or cry.

However, before leaving, Shien felt a strong hostile gaze on him.

Shien stopped in his tracks and looked up, but he could only see the knights of the Knights Regiment still in formation.

The gaze and hostility from before had all disappeared.

Shien squinted his eyes and suddenly smiled.

"Well, don't come looking for trouble with me again."

Today's occasion was too formal, so I couldn't fight. That's why I accompanied you guys for so long.

If it was on another occasion …

"Don't blame me?"

Shien muttered such words, and then turned to leave.

Until then, among the Knights Regiment, a young knight who was in the front position turned his eyes again, looked in the direction where Shien left, and then looked at Rosie who was chatting with Liadella, and one of his hands was trembling.

Looking closely, that hand was clenched so tightly that it was bleeding.

Dark red blood dripped down, shining on the handsome knight's face.

That face, was extremely cold.
