While Shien was sighing with emotion, Capeline was also looking at him with a complicated expression.
Back then, she was indeed against Jarvis asking for help from the kingdom and letting the kingdom come to save his country.
Although the kingdom was powerful, it was still the enemy of the empire. If they exposed the inside information of their own country to the enemy and then asked for help, who knew if they would invite a wolf into the house and cause the empire to be invaded by other kingdoms?
Moreover, as a citizen of the empire, they had more or less a sense of hostility towards the kingdom.
Therefore, this matter was called asking for help in a nice way, but in a bad way, it was treason. If they did not handle it well, they would probably be boycotted by the whole empire.
The reason why Jarvis ended up in this situation was also closely related to him going to the kingdom.
From this, it could be seen how ridiculous it was for a citizen of the empire to ask for help from the kingdom.
However, Jarvis seemed to think that this matter was too ridiculous.
"After all, this way, the Poison Concubine would never think that we would actually make such a move."
This was exactly what Harvey valued. He wanted to catch Mara off guard and catch him off guard.
But Capeline still did not agree.
There was no other reason.
It was because she really did not want to ask for help from the country where that woman was from.
She was obviously a lifelong rival, yet she went to the other party to ask for help. With Capeline's stubbornness and pride, how could she agree to such a thing?
Therefore, on this matter, Capeline had never been able to reach a consensus with her brother, Jarvis.
As a result, during the period when she was imprisoned, her brother had already found a partner and successfully asked that partner to come to the empire's aid. He even came here and appeared in front of her. How could Capeline's feelings not be complicated?
At that moment, Capeline almost subconsciously asked a question in a hurried tone.
"Rosie, Rusti Mithra is here too?"
This was what Capeline cared about the most.
If that woman had also come, then this time, her ugly state would have been seen by the person she didn't want to see the most.
If that happened, Capeline might not even want to leave this place. She would rather stay here and continue to be tortured by Mara.
Shien seemed to have seen through Capeline's thoughts under her uncertain face.
So …
"You think too much. Rosie will not come to the empire." Shien said bluntly, "Who knows if she will come here and fall into a trap?"
What he meant was that even if the kingdom would take some action when the empire asked for help, it would not completely believe it.
Who knew if this was a plot to lure Rosie to the empire to kill her?
Therefore, not to mention that Rosie did not know about this, even if she did, she would not come here easily.
In fact, Sean had also invited Rosie to come to the Empire with him, but she had rejected him.
Her Royal Highness knew that her identity was extremely sensitive in the Empire. Once she appeared, it would definitely cause an uproar.
By then, it would be real chaos.
Based on this, Rosie would not come.
"Rosie"
Capeline could not help but heave a sigh of relief, but for some reason, she felt a little regretful.
"Do you want her to come or not?"
Sean was speechless.
Sure enough, a woman's heart was like a needle at the bottom of the sea. You might think it was not easy to fish it out, but in fact, she never intended to come out.
What if that needle was the Golden Cudgel and could calm the sea?
Then, you could only go into the sea to understand women.
Otherwise, why would so many men want to be the Sea King?
"Let's get back to the topic." Shien said, "You just mentioned the treasure of the empire. Are you trying to say that the purpose of the people here is to find it?"
Shien thought of the slaves who were digging something here.
That was what Capeline thought too.
"You said it yourself. They seemed to be digging something, right?" Capeline said, "Then this is the only legend I can think of."
This was obviously a guess without any basis.
But Shien felt that this unfounded guess might not be completely useless.
After all, why would Mara appear in the empire and stir up a storm in the empire?
Was it because she hated the Bravehearts and everything related to the Bravehearts that she wanted to wreak havoc in the country built by the Bravehearts?
Then why did she come to the empire instead of going to the kingdom?
The kingdom was also built by the brave, and the royal family was also the legitimate descendants of the brave. There was even Rosie, the heir of Mithra. Logically speaking, if Mara only hated the brave, she would want to mess up the kingdom more than the empire.
But she chose to come to the empire and take control of the empire in her hands. She only secretly caused trouble for the kingdom. For example, the large-scale assassination in the capital ten years ago was planned by this Poison Concubine.
What did this mean?
It meant that there was something in the empire that attracted her.
"Lustrous Branch …?" Shien looked at Capeline and asked, "Do you know what treasure it is?"
"I don't know." Capelin frowned and thought for a while. In the end, she shook her head and said, "I only know that it seems to be a treasure that even the three Goddesses and the six Great Demons have only heard of. It is very likely to be related to either the Supreme God or the Demon King."
Hearing this, Shien could basically confirm it.
Even if the Lustrous Branch was not Mara's goal, it was still a very important and precious thing.
How could a treasure that was related to either the Supreme God or the Demon King not be important? How could it not be precious?
It was no wonder that even the founding heroes of the Ragnar Empire wanted to find this treasure. It was definitely something extraordinary.
"How does that poem go again?"
Shien asked Capeline.
Capeline turned her gaze to Shien, and then she opened her red lips.
"—" The sky is covered by darkness, the earth is turned into a crimson hell, the Lustrous Branch will be awakened from its slumber and descend upon this universe. "
Capelin sang the words of the ballad.
Shien silently noted it down.
"What are you going to do next?"
Shien asked.
If it was before, Capeline would have said without hesitation that she was going to leave this place.
But now, when she thought that she had to rely on Shien's power to leave this place, Capeline felt a wave of unwillingness.
However, no matter how unwilling she was, in the current situation, it was nothing more than unnecessary hypocrisy.
"Take me out." Capeline took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "I'll say it again. Get me out, and I can give you whatever you want."
Previously, Capeline had said these words with great vigor and confidence.
She thought that, with her status, if the other party was a normal person, he or she would be tempted.
However, the appearance of Shien broke Capeline's confidence.
No matter how slow Capeline was, she realized that Shien was dismissive of the conditions she offered.
Even if the price was himself, Shien showed a look of disdain.
This infuriated Capeline, but at the same time, she lost her temper.
On the other hand, Shien was straightforward this time.
"Okay." Shien snapped his fingers and said, "For your brother's sake, I will take you out for the time being."
As he said this, Shien stretched out his hand and pressed Capeline's shoulder before she could react.
"Swish!"
In the next second, the two disappeared from the cell at the same time and appeared outside.
"Ha …"
"Ha …"
The ghouls around seemed to have noticed a little movement, and there was a slight commotion.
Capeline only felt that her vision was blurred, and when she reappeared, she was already outside the cell.
"This is …?"
Capeline's expression suddenly changed slightly.
"Teleportation …"
He … When did he have this ability?
No, when he was in Kosmos, he did show an ability similar to teleportation.
But at that time, wasn't he only able to activate this ability when he was under attack?
Could it be that he was still hiding it at that time?
Such a thought immediately flashed in Capeline's mind.
At this time, Shien spoke.
"Don't leave my side." Shien warned Capeline, "My skill can make me and the object I touch enter a hidden state, or even invisible state, so that we will not be discovered by the army of the dead here. Once you leave the place I touch, you will immediately cause the dead here to kill you."
"I know …" Capeline lowered her eyes, as if she had no choice.
"Then let's go." Shien planned to leave with Capeline.
At the critical moment, Capeline suddenly spoke.
"Wait!" While Capeline stopped Shien, she looked around at the naked female knights in the cell. After hesitating for a while, she finally could not help but say to Shien, "Save them too."
Shien raised his eyebrows.
"They are my subordinates and personal guards, and they are the most loyal to me. I can't leave them alone."
Capeline hurriedly explained.
Shien stared at Capeline for a while, until Capeline felt unnatural, and then he curled his lips.
"You owe me a big favor."
After leaving these words, Sean brought Capeline, who had a look of joy on her face, and teleported to the cages one by one to rescue the female knights.
At first, when the female knights saw Shien appear, they almost cried out in panic. They covered their bodies in panic and fear. It was not until they saw Capeline, who was wearing a cloak, that they were surprised and happy, and even cried tears of joy.
Shien teleported all the female knights out of the cages, and asked them to touch him one by one, and not to run around, lest the effect of [Inner Sense of Destiny] could not cover them, causing them to be discovered by the dead.
The female knights were still bashful at first, but in the end, they had no choice but to blush and come to Shien's side one by one.
This time, Shien was happy.
"Well, I've made a profit."
