Chapter 60

"Hey! The adventurers over there! "

"What are you doing?!"

"What's going on?"

At this moment, a series of messy footsteps and shouts were heard. Shien, who was patting the dust off his body, turned around and looked at the source of the sound.

On the other side of the street, a group of fully armed knights were walking over quickly.

Around them, the frightened citizens were still hiding in the distance, pointing at them and discussing among themselves.

Under such a situation, Shien wasn't surprised when he saw the knights walking over quickly.

After all, the commotion here was so big that the knights who were guarding the town would definitely come over to check on the situation.

Especially after the unusual phenomenon that happened not too long ago, it was impossible for them not to be sensitive.

Hence, Sean watched as the Knights of the Knights Guild surrounded the scene.

Then, a middle-aged man with an aura that was obviously different from the common knights walked out.

"I am the captain of the seventh squad of the Third Knight Regiment under Marquis Murao!"

The middle-aged man glanced at the big pit in the middle of the street and his heart skipped a beat. Then, he looked at Shien with a serious expression.

"What happened here?"

Shien asked without a second thought.

"A suspicious man suddenly pestered me, it seemed like he wanted to harm me, so I subdued him."

Shien said it with a straight face.

"A suspicious man?"

The captain was instantly confused.

"Yes." Shien said with a serious face, "I was just passing by and he suddenly took a portrait and asked me some strange questions to force me."

It was all the truth, not a single bit of falsehood was mixed in.

At least, from what he said, Shien was a complete victim.

"Is that so?" The captain glanced over the big pit and said with a heavy expression, "So you are the one who destroyed this place, right? Why haven't I heard of a high level adventurer like you? "

It seemed like in the captain's heart, Shien was a little more suspicious.

Unfortunately, Shien had already prepared an excuse.

"You've misunderstood. Although the person who destroyed this place was indeed me, it was because I used a defensive magic tool given to me by the seniors in my current team. My level is not high enough for you to recognize me."

Shien then began to spout nonsense with a serious face.

It couldn't be helped. If he claimed that all of this was his doing, it would be impossible for him to beat up that pretentious criminal who was obviously not an ordinary person with his current level and strength.

Not to mention beating someone up like that, even if he said that he caused such a huge damage to the surroundings, it would definitely raise suspicions.

When that time came, if someone investigated him, Shien felt that he would not be able to hide some of his details, and there would be trouble.

If it weren't for the fact that Sean couldn't help but act as if he could crush him to death at any time, and that he didn't want to do anything to him because of the current situation, lest he ruin the real big thing, Sean would never want to make a move in such a high-profile manner.

But in the end, Sean still took action.

Still, Sean was just afraid of trouble, not afraid of trouble. He wanted to avoid trouble as much as possible, so he didn't want to be too conspicuous, but he didn't want to shrink his head and keep a low profile.

Again, Shien was just afraid of trouble, not afraid of it. He wanted to avoid trouble as much as possible, so he did not want to be too conspicuous, but he did not want to shrink his head and keep a low profile.

At the end of the day, the protagonist's attitude of not fighting back after being hit, not retorting after being scolded, and not acting like it was nothing when being despised by others, as if the ridicule of others was due to ignorance, and he did not want to bother with those people, was a pain in the ass in Shien's eyes.

Because that was just an attitude of putting himself in a higher position than others to look down on others. In many cases, it was really no different from believing that he was infallible.

But what about Shien?

He was really an ordinary person.

It was true that he wanted to live a peaceful life, but there were many people in this world who wanted to live a peaceful life. Could it be that they were not allowed to get angry when others picked on them?

That was impossible.

So, since the other party had already pressed the tire in his face, Shien did not want to be like some traditional classic development. Because the other party did not make a move, he let the other party leave with a sense of superiority, leaving behind a pretentious aura, and then slowly slapping the other party in the face later.

If he felt aggrieved, then just go ahead. Could it be that only others had the right to make a move, and he had to fight passively to be considered superior?

That was also impossible.

In view of this, seeing that the other party was speaking fiercely with a murderous aura a second ago, and then seemed to want to let him go, the next second, he actually dared to turn his back to him without any defense. Shien really felt that if he did not give him a good kick, he would be letting down his intelligence.

Of course, although he felt good, Shien did not want to expose his extraordinariness.

Since that was the case, he could only talk nonsense.

After reading so many novels in his previous life, he had seen all kinds of plot developments. He believed that as a reader, they would have their own way of dealing with such a situation, right?

Therefore, Shien did not panic at all.

"If you don't believe me, you can go to the Adventurers Guild to investigate. I am a new adventurer who recently joined the guild. Currently, I am in the adventurer team led by Captain Vivian. You should know Vivian, right?"

Sean's words made the Paladin come to a sudden realization.

"So you are an acquaintance of Miss Vivian?" The Knight Captain changed his serious expression and said with some respect, "My apologies for my rudeness."

As expected, if it was Vivian, it was impossible for the other party not to know her.

After all, Vivian was a high-level adventurer who had reached level 50. She was very famous, and her childhood friend was the descendant of a great noble that even the nobles in this territory did not dare to slight. She was the leader of the Adventurers Guild, so it was impossible for the knights in this town not to know of her existence.

Not only was Vivian famous, but her way of doing things was also very trustworthy.

The Knight Captain did not suspect Shien.

Naturally, Shien would not hit a smiling person, so he said very modestly, "No, I am the one who was rude. No matter what, I am quite sorry for causing such damage, so I will compensate you."

"Understood." The Lord Paladin finally relaxed his expression.

At this moment, there was some commotion among the knights who went to the big pit to investigate.

A knight rushed over in a panic and whispered something into the Knight Captain's ear.

"What!?"

The Knight Captain's expression changed drastically, and he immediately went to check on the man who had been dug out of the big pit.

From his clothes, the knights found the portrait that Shien had mentioned.

(Now they won't suspect me anymore, right?)

The evidence was conclusive, and Shien was more or less relieved.

However, the knights' panic made Shien realize that this matter might not be so simple.

Especially the knight captain, his expression was quite ugly as he looked at the portrait.

Then, the Knight Captain returned to Shien.

"We have confirmed that this is indeed a problematic person. If I am not mistaken, I am afraid that he is a wanted criminal by the kingdom." The Knight Captain bowed to Shien, and said, "Thank you for your help this time. After we have confirmed this person's identity, the Lord may very well reward you. Please do not leave Lamigion for the time being."

After saying that, the head knight gave an order and led all the knights to detain the unconscious man. They left at a faster pace than when they came.

The murmurs around them grew louder.

Shien watched as the Knights left. He thought of the person in the portrait, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
