Chapter 28

Shien wasn't lying.

In fact, it wasn't a good idea to use the holy sword in front of others.

Shien didn't dare to imagine what would happen if others found out about the existence of the holy sword.

According to Nyen, the holy sword was a weapon exclusive to heroes. Once it was exposed, Shien's identity would be exposed.

Of course, Shien didn't want to expose it.

In view of this, it wasn't just the holy sword. There were also unique skills, special skills, and a total of 15 skills that were at max level. For the sake of his peaceful life in the future, Shien had to hide them well.

Since that was the case, it wasn't a problem to say that the holy sword was' not very useful ', right?

As for how others would interpret it, it wasn't Shien's business.

Vivian still felt a little strange, but she nodded.

"Then let's go and buy weapons for you first. What about defensive equipment?" Vivian asked.

"I don't need defensive equipment for now." Shien thought for a moment and shook his head. "I'll buy defensive equipment when I have enough money. Since everyone is here, I'll leave it at that for now."

Vivian wanted to say something, but she didn't in the end. She seemed to want to respect Shien's opinion.

Even if not preparing defensive equipment wasn't something worth advocating, it was just like what Shien said. With them around, they should be able to take care of him during these few commissions.

Moreover, if he really suffered because he didn't prepare defensive equipment, it would be a good lesson for him.

Vivian thought and chose not to interfere with Shien's decision.

Since Vivian was already like this, the others wouldn't have any objections.

Shien, Vivian, and the rest headed to the weapon shop.

There, Shien bought an extremely sharp broadsword.

The so-called extremely sharp was actually within the scope of ordinary weapons. It naturally couldn't be compared to magical weapons that were enchanted with magical effects.

Hence, this sword was bought by Shien for only one gold coin.

Shortly after, the group left the weapon shop and rented a carriage. They left Lamigion in the carriage and headed north.

Shien's first adventure as an adventurer began.

… …

Along a road to the north of Lamegion, a carriage galloped at a steady pace, heading north along the road.

The person driving the carriage was Vivian.

She sat in the driver's seat and spurred the horse, glancing at the carriage behind her from time to time.

In the carriage, an indescribable atmosphere was pervading.

Shien sat on one side of the carriage while the other three members of Vivian's team sat opposite him.

However, they didn't even form a conversation. They just sat facing each other, causing the atmosphere to be a little heavy.

They just sat facing each other, causing the atmosphere to be heavy.

Shien glanced at the three girls sitting opposite him. Lumia stuck to Tierre like a child. She didn't even dare to look at Shien. She lowered her head timidly and hugged Tierre's arm tightly in her arms. One could clearly feel her nervousness and uneasiness.

Tierre, on the other hand, sat there quietly, not even looking at Sean.

Only Melica would sneak a peek at Shien from time to time. Once she met Shien's gaze, she would hurriedly avert her gaze. Her wariness was undeniable.

This scene had been maintained ever since Vivian left.

Originally, the only one in the team who treated Shien with kindness and kindness was Vivian.

Apart from Vivian, the other three had not spoken a word since they entered the private room after their self-introductions.

If it weren't for Vivian who had been communicating with Sean, the heavy atmosphere would have appeared long ago.

Now that Vivian was driving the carriage, leaving Shien alone in the team, it naturally became like this.

Shien didn't show it on the surface, but he was inwardly cursing.

(Do I have to spend the next month in this kind of environment?)

It's really depressing.

Why don't I …

"Everyone."

Shien spoke.

Since the other party didn't want to break the stalemate, he would do it himself.

However, the reaction of the three girls opposite him was greater than Shien expected.

"Ah!"

"Ugh …!"

Lumia and Melica were startled by Shien's sudden voice. Lumia couldn't help but let out a small whimper, while the other shuddered and tightened her grip on her staff.

Even Tierre seemed to have focused her attention on Shien. She raised her head slightly, and the eyes under the hood seemed to release a sharp gaze that instantly nailed onto Shien.

In the carriage, the originally heavy atmosphere suddenly became even heavier.

"Uh …" Shien was startled and smiled bitterly. "You don't have to react so strongly, right?"

Lumia and Melica averted their gazes awkwardly. Only Tierre continued to stare at Shien.

Seeing this, Shien scratched his cheek.

(It seems that they are different from Vivian. They are very wary of me.)

Should I have a relaxed and pleasant conversation with such beautiful girls?

What should I do?

In the novels, the protagonists who could do this without batting an eyelid must have cheats, right?

(I really hope my cheat is also in this area.)

Shien didn't know how many times he sighed in his heart. After pondering for a while, he relaxed his shoulders.

"Forget it."

Shien muttered in a low voice.

That's right. Shien gave up without hesitation.

Since they had no intention of talking and were so wary of him, Shien didn't want to do anything unnecessary to increase the variables.

To put it bluntly, Sean could not do something like sticking a warm face to a cold buttocks.

Therefore, Shien only said one sentence.

"Everyone, you don't have to be overcautious because of my existence. Anyway, it's only a month. I will try my best to reduce my presence so that I won't affect you. I hope we can meet and part on good terms in the end."

After saying this, Shien didn't say anything else.

His words startled the three young ladies.

"This …"

Tierre, Lumia, and Melica looked at Shien in surprise, as if they didn't expect Shien to say such a thing.

Thus, the three of them looked at each other and fell silent again.

The atmosphere in the carriage seemed to have become a little heavier.

Vivian, who was in the driver's seat, had been paying attention to the situation in the carriage. As she listened to Shien's words and felt the heavy atmosphere, a trace of helplessness appeared on her face.

Sure enough, the things that happened in the past still affected Tierre and the others greatly, huh?

At the same time, Vivian was also quite surprised by Shien's words.

I didn't expect Shien to draw the line so straightforwardly.

Thinking of this, Vivian became a little interested in Shien.

Maybe he's different from the male adventurers in the past.

Vivian continued to ponder as she urged the horse forward.

The wheels of the carriage continued to rumble.

At the same time, on the side of the road, a huge rock suddenly moved.
