Chapter 35

Night fell quietly.

At the foot of the Mangal Mountains, Vivian's party had already set up their tents and lit up a bonfire to illuminate the surroundings.

At this moment, with Vivian in the lead, the group of young ladies surrounded the bonfire, but they looked to the side.

There, Sean's back was facing them, and he was walking away.

Seeing Shien like this, Vivian looked worried.

Tierre, Lumia, and Merica looked at each other in dismay.

"Um, Sister Vivian," Lumia asked timidly, "What's wrong with him?"

Lumia asked the question that was on everyone's mind.

Obviously, everyone had noticed that something was wrong with Shien and Vivian.

"Weren't you guys chatting happily just now? Why did you suddenly … "

Merica also spoke, but she didn't know how to describe it.

Under such circumstances, even Tierre cast an inquiring glance at Vivian.

Vivian let out a sigh.

"I don't know what's going on." Vivian said helplessly, "I don't know why Sean suddenly became like that."

Recalling the conversation just now, Vivian realized that after she said "the hero must not appear again", Shien became completely silent and didn't say anything else.

No, later on, Shien said to Vivian.

"I'll take a walk nearby for a while."

After saying that, Shien left just like that.

"Did I say something wrong?"

Vivian reflected.

"I don't think it's your problem," Tierre said calmly. "It should be that man's problem, right?"

Tierre's words could be considered to have hit the nail on the head.

But this was Tierre. Just as Shien had always felt, she had a decisive and calm personality. Coupled with her reticence, many male adventurers were afraid of her, even in Ramage.

On the other hand, Lumia and Merica had become much more cheerful in the absence of Shien.

Lumia still looked like she was afraid of strangers, but at least her speech was no longer stuttering, and it was flowing more smoothly.

Needless to say, Merica seemed to be free of shackles, and even her expression became much more relaxed.

This was the true appearance of everyone in Vivian's party.

Vivian was gentle and considerate.

Tierre was cold and silent.

Lumia was timid and afraid of strangers.

Merica, on the other hand, was quite lively, but because of Shien's arrival, she restrained this side of her personality.

Now that Shien was not here, Merica was not too restrained.

Now that Vivian was not here, Merica was not too restrained. Merica excitedly asked Vivian, "Although Big Sister Vivian has always been so gentle, it seems a little different this time."

"Is that so?" Vivian seemed to have not expected to be said this, and was momentarily taken aback.

"I think so too." Lumia stole a glance at Vivian, and then said hesitantly, "I have a feeling that Sister Vivian is paying more attention to that … Mr. Shien than to the other newcomers."

Now that Lucia had put it that way, Vivian was no longer oblivious.

Although Vivian was gentle and considerate to everyone, and took good care of the newcomers, this time, it seemed that she was paying more attention to Shien than to the other newcomers.

It could not be helped.

"Ever since Shien defeated Gorrem, I felt that he must be hiding some secret that we don't know about." Vivian had no intention of hiding it, and said honestly, "Although I don't know what kind of secret it is, I have to say that he has indeed attracted my attention."

If not for that, Vivian would not have been so quick to confess the situation of the team to Shien, nor would she have been so protective of Shien in front of her teammates.

Even if it were someone else, Vivian would have done the same, but she would definitely choose the right time to confess to the other party about the situation of the team members, and would not be as protective as she was with Sean.

After all, they had only known each other for a day, and no matter how gentle and considerate Vivian was, she would not be so protective of the opposite sex that she could not trust.

In the end, Vivian did the same for Shien, because she had sensed something different about Shien.

Moreover …

"You all know that I am different from the average human, right?"

Vivian's words silenced all the young girls.

Vivian smiled and said, "Because of my own uniqueness, I have special feelings for some relatively unusual individuals."

Tierre and the others understood what Vivian was trying to say.

"In other words, that person gave you such a special feeling?"

Tierre looked at Vivian.

"That's right." Vivian nodded and said, "That's why I couldn't help but pay more attention to him. Not only is he hiding a secret, but it's not a small secret."

Vivian had some guesses.

"I'm afraid that Shien has been blessed by a very high god," Vivian said with certainty. "That blessing gave me a feeling that it was of a higher level than that of Her Royal Highness, so I couldn't help but pay more attention to it."

Her words surprised everyone.

"A blessing that is of a higher level than the blessing of Her Royal Highness?" Lucia was quite surprised and said, "How is that possible?"

"… That's indeed impossible." Tierre was silent for a moment, and then said quietly, "Her Royal Highness has been blessed by one of the three great goddesses, and there is only one blessing that is of a higher level than that among all the Protoss."

"That's right, there is only one." Vivian couldn't help but say in a low voice, "But that one has been deep in the Holy Realm at the end of the Divine Realm since the end of the war a thousand years ago, and has never appeared again. How could anyone have the blessing of that one?"

It should be said that even in the distant past, no one had ever received the blessing of that one.

At the very least, Vivian had never heard of that supreme being blessing anyone.

"But if that's not the case, then what's going on?"

It was because of this question that Vivian couldn't help but pay more attention to Shien.

Only then did Tierre and the others understand what was going on.

"In other words, Mr. Shien is not an ordinary person?" Lucia said doubtfully, "But isn't he a novice adventurer who hasn't learned any skills and only reached level 10 at the age of 20?"

It was precisely because of this that it was more likely that this person was hiding a secret.

At this moment …

"I can roughly understand how Sister Vivian feels," Melica suddenly said. Melica suddenly spoke. She hesitated for a moment before saying, "Actually, I can also feel some abnormalities from that person."

"You?" Vivian, Tierre, and Lucia looked at Melica in surprise.

"Yes." Melica seemed a little embarrassed, and said evasively, "I don't know why, but from the moment we met, I could feel a … How should I put it, an unusual sense of closeness from that person?"

This was a very shocking thing.

Because the Elves were a race famous for being pure and holy, and generally speaking, it was impossible for them to feel close to a male stranger.

Furthermore, she had almost been offended by a male adventurer in the past, so how could Melica feel close to a male adventurer?

But Shien gave Melica such a feeling.

If this feeling was placed in the novels of Shien's previous life, it would probably be the signal for the Strategy Guide (Free), right?

But in fact, not only did Melica not feel happy about having such an inexplicable feeling, she was even a little afraid.

Because of this, Melica was overly nervous in front of Shien.

Perhaps, this was the truest reaction of a truly pure and untainted woman.

Vivian and the others were very surprised.

"Even Melica feels this way?"

Lucia was surprised.

"…"

Tierre seemed to be frowning.

"The Elves are beings born from nature, and they are the closest to nature and the world. They are even known as the race closest to the Protoss." Vivian was a little surprised, and she murmured, "Logically speaking, it should only be the Protoss who can make the elves feel a sense of closeness from the very beginning."

Could it be that Shien was a Protoss?

Impossible.

"Protoss are only female, right?"

Tierre said straightforwardly.

"That's right." "Because the first god to be born, the Supreme God Omnys, was a goddess, and the other gods were born after receiving power from the Supreme God Omnys. It can be said that the Supreme God Omnys was the prototype of life, so all the gods are goddesses, and only goddesses." Vivian also said with certainty, "Because the Supreme God Omnys was the first god to be born, and the other gods are all goddesses, and only goddesses."

In this case, it was naturally impossible for Shien to be a Protoss.

So, who exactly was Shien?

Thinking of his behavior just now, and his overreaction to the "Demon King" and "Hero", Vivian's eyes flickered.

(Could it be …)

Before Vivian could finish her thoughts, Tierre raised her head.

"Since that man is so special, what do you plan to do?"

Tierre asked for the time being.

"What to do?" Vivian came back to her senses, and after pondering for a moment, she said, "We don't need to do anything special. Just train him as an ordinary rookie."

No matter what secrets Tierre had, Vivian did not intend to delve too deeply into it before she could confirm that it was something bad.

After all, who didn't have some secrets?

Not to mention others, Vivian herself had secrets that others definitely did not know.

Not only Vivian, but even Tierre …

Vivian looked at Tierre, thought for a moment, and said, "Right now, Shien's emotions seem to be a little off, and it's too dangerous for him to act alone. Can I trouble you to follow him secretly and protect him for a while?"

Hearing this, Tierre did not answer, but after a while, she stood up and walked in the direction where Shien had left.

Rumia and Merica continued to talk as they looked at Tierre's current state.

As for Vivian, she could not help but think in her heart.

(I hope it's not what I think it is.)

Otherwise, this world would probably not be peaceful again.
