"— —!"
Shien raised his head forcefully and looked forward.
At the next moment, Shien saw it.
"Good evening, should I say that?"
It was a young girl who said those sweet words with a faint smile on her face.
A young lady with black hair and red eyes was sitting on a tree branch in front of him. She was wearing a gown that made her look like a princess's dress. She was swinging her little feet as she held a dessert in her hands and nibbled on it.
Shien had seen this young lady before.
And, it was yesterday.
"You're the pretentious prick from yesterday?"
This sentence came out of Shien's mouth.
"Pretentious prick?" The young lady was stunned. Then, she frowned and said, "You can call me Lésia. Although I don't know what 'pretentious prick' means, I can feel that it's not a good thing. Can you not call me that?"
Hearing this, Shien raised his eyebrows.
"Is that okay?" Sean said with a faint smile, "You seem to have said before that not everyone can make you tell me your name, right?" Just like Laxia did just now, Sean said with a faint smile.
"Indeed." Lésia looked at Shien. The displeasure between her eyebrows disappeared and was replaced by a smile. She said, "But I don't want you to run away like last time. So, you better tell me your name this time."
"Then, Madame Lésia, tell me your name. May I know what you're doing here?" Shien said in an aggressive tone, which was rare for him. "Don't tell me it's a coincidence, okay?"
Perhaps Sean's bad mood was expressed in his tone and attitude, perhaps because his monologue was overheard by the other party just now.
However, Lésia didn't seem to care at all.
"Just think of it as a coincidence." Lésia said to Shien in a light tone, "If it wasn't a 'coincidence', how could I have heard such interesting words?"
As expected, the other party had heard everything that he had said just now.
"I just happened to pass by Lamegion during my escape. I didn't expect to run into something like this." Lésia looked straight at Shien as if she wanted to see through all his secrets. "But, thanks to this, I seem to have an unexpected gain this time."
This sentence told Shien that the young lady was indeed here for him.
Perhaps, after yesterday's encounter, the young lady had been keeping an eye on Shien, to the extent that she was willing to follow him to this place.
In other words …
"Am I being followed?"
Shien murmured.
Lésia didn't respond to his question. She just smiled and looked at Shien with a meaningful gaze.
"Just like last time, you seem to be saying something interesting this time, right?" Lésia said with a smile, "This time, you are telling the truth. This world doesn't need heroes anymore. Are you sad?"
"Sad?" Shien squinted his eyes and pretended to be confused, but he said from the bottom of his heart, "Why should I be sad?"
In fact, Shien couldn't be happier.
The world didn't need heroes anymore, so he could throw away this responsibility and live a carefree life, right?
But …
"You should be worried that you will be involved in some conspiracy, right?" Lésia saw through Shien's thoughts. "I don't know why the Protoss summoned me, nor do I know the current situation of the three races in this world. Simply put, there is a serious lack of information, so you don't know which side to trust."
"I'm right, right?"
"A new hero."
As soon as Lai Xia's voice fell, the atmosphere suddenly became incomparably heavy.
Shien completely gave up on getting lucky.
Because the truth was clear.
His identity was exposed.
"Aren't you going to take out the holy sword from the bag on your shoulder?" Lésia said provocatively, "If you don't use the holy sword, you can't be my opponent with your current level."
"Opponent?" Shien looked into Lésia's eyes and said, "Are you here to fight me?"
"Why?" Lésia was still smiling. "Is it strange?"
"Of course it's strange." Shien ignored Lésia's provocation and said, "If you're really here to fight me, I would have discovered your existence long ago."
After all, Sean had a skill like [Enemy Sense], which allowed him to detect enemies that were hostile to him.
Under such circumstances, if someone approached him with hostility, Shien would have discovered them long ago.
However, Shien didn't discover Lésia's existence in time.
This proved that she actually didn't have any hostility towards Shien.
Of course …
"Aren't you too naive? My hero? "
Lésia seemed to be amused, and the smile in her eyes began to disappear.
"Indeed, I don't have any hostility towards you."
"But in this world, you don't have to fight only when you are hostile."
"Just like me, if I just wanted to test your true abilities and not become your enemy, don't you think that I have enough reasons to deal with you?"
As soon as she said that, a dark whirlwind of magic rose from Lésia's body.
The magic stirred up a hurricane that blew in all directions, causing the surrounding trees to sway and rustle, and the fallen leaves to fly everywhere.
Shien's heart tightened, and he unsheathed his weapon without hesitation.
The weapon that was unsheathed wasn't the holy sword, but the broadsword hanging on Shien's waist.
In the next second …
"Boom!"
The magic that rose from Lésia's body turned into gravity, and like a field, it shook the entire world and pressed down on Shien.
In an instant, all the fallen leaves in the air were pressed down on the ground, and the surrounding trees seemed to be pressed down by an invisible force. Not only did they creak, but they also cracked inch by inch.
Shien also felt his body being pressed down by an astonishing gravity, and he was pressed to the ground.
If there were no accidents, this gravity should be enough to press Shien to the ground.
However, it was unknown whether it was the [Magic Resistance] skill or the [Abnormal Status Resistance] skill, but the gravity acting on Shien's body suddenly weakened before it pressed him to the ground.
"Huh?"
Looking at this scene, Lésia was extremely surprised.
"He resisted my gravity magic without using the holy sword?"
This was something that Lésia didn't expect at all.
Unfortunately, it was too late for that.
"Evolve!"
The moment the gravity weakened, Shien decisively activated the [Ultimate Evolve] skill.
In an instant, magic flowed through his body, causing Shien's strength to increase by a large margin.
"Bang!"
Therefore, in the midst of the muffled sound, Shien crushed the ground, and rushed towards Lésia like a rocket against the gravity.
Since the other party had already made a move, there was no need for hesitation.
This was the decisiveness brought about by Shien's strong acceptance, and also the ruthlessness that he had honed in the forest for ten days.
Seeing this, Lésia wasn't surprised, but smiled instead.
"Things are starting to get interesting."
