Chapter 61

The next morning.

Shien went straight to the Adventurers Guild after coming out of the hotel.

Vivian's party had a day off after returning from a mission yesterday, so they had to gather today.

"I wonder what kind of mission I'll get this time?"

Shien thought about it as he arrived at the Adventurers Guild and entered the hall on the first floor.

However, the atmosphere in the Adventurers Guild today was a little different than usual.

More specifically, there were more people in the guild than usual, and they were all discussing the same topic.

The topic was the abnormal phenomenon that happened yesterday.

Obviously, the adventurers seemed to be paying attention to this matter.

Shien even heard the conversation.

"You said that the wilderness southeast of the town was almost split in half?"

"Yes, even the mountains seemed to have been split in half."

"It can't be?"

"That's too scary."

"How could something like this happen so suddenly?"

"Who knows? All we know is that it's definitely not a natural phenomenon because the investigation team of the guild and the knights of the town noticed a large amount of magic residue. "

"Which means it's man-made?"

"Based on the most convincing theory, it's generally believed that the phenomenon was caused by the attack of the [Demonic Sword]."

"[Demonic Sword]?"

"Are you kidding me?"

"What kind of [Demonic Sword] could turn that place into such a state?"

"I don't believe it either, but this is indeed the most convincing theory. Only the [Demonic Sword] could split the wilderness and mountains like this and cause such destruction."

"I really can't believe it."

"Let's hope this theory is wrong."

"Yeah."

Such a conversation made Sean involuntarily feel that …

"As expected, no matter which world it is, there's no lack of smart people."

These people had almost figured out the truth behind the abnormal phenomenon, but they still couldn't believe it. They couldn't imagine who could use such a powerful [Demonic Sword].

"Let's hope they don't find out about me."

Otherwise, there would be a lot of trouble.

With this thought in mind, Shien went to the room where Vivian's team gathered on the second floor.

However, as soon as Shien entered the room, he was caught by the team members.

"Then, Mr. Shien, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

Vivian stood in front of Shien and greeted him with a smile.

Seeing Vivian like this, Shien was dumbfounded, and he looked behind Vivian in a daze.

There, Tierre was sipping on a drink. Lumia was cowering in a corner seat, looking at him timidly. Even Merica was holding her staff, looking at Shien with a hesitant expression.

"What … what's wrong?"

Shien asked the crowd nervously.

No one paid attention to Shien.

No, it should be said that he did not dare to pay attention to it.

Lumia quickly lowered her head, and Merica quickly looked away, pretending not to see anything. It was as if they were afraid that Vivian would scold them.

Tierre was the only one who glanced at Sean and said indifferently.

"The good deed you did yesterday has been found out."

As soon as these words came out, Shien's heart skipped a beat.

Did they really know about the [Demonic Sword]?

Just as Shien was thinking about this, Tierre seemed to have seen through his thoughts and added.

"This morning, a group of knights came to the guild to look for Vivian, and they confirmed that you subdued a suspicious person on the street yesterday."

Tierre's words made Shien heave a sigh of relief.

"So you're referring to that?"

He thought that the [Demonic Sword] was really exposed.

However, Vivian was not very satisfied with Shien's reaction.

"Otherwise, what do you think I'm referring to?"

Vivian stared at Shien, as if trying to see through his mind.

"N-nothing!" Shien quickly shook his head and then changed the topic. "I did do what you said, but is there a problem with that?"

"Of course there is a problem." Vivian still looked at Shien and said, "According to the people from the knights, you claimed that you used a defensive magic tool that I gave you to cause excessive damage and subdued a suspicious person, but I don't remember doing that at all."

Vivian was here to denounce him for this.

Unfortunately, Vivian was wrong.

"I didn't say that you gave me a defensive magic tool, did I?" "At that time, what I said was, 'I used the magic tool given to me by the seniors in my current team for self-defense.'" Sean corrected him with a righteous tone.

"Used a defensive magic tool that was given to you by a senior in your current team?" Vivian was slightly stunned, but she immediately reacted and said, "Are you trying to say that it was not me who gave you the defensive magic tool, but someone else in the team?"

With that said, Vivian turned around and looked at the rest of the team.

"I … I didn't!"

Lumia immediately shook her head in panic.

"It wasn't me either! I didn't prepare that kind of magic tool! "

Merica also dissociated herself from this matter.

Vivian immediately turned to look at Tierre.

Tierre was about to answer, but she did not succeed.

Because someone was one step ahead of her.

"It was Senior Tierre who gave it to me!"

Shien suddenly pointed at Tierre, as if he was pointing at a criminal.

"Huh?"

This time, even Tierre could not help but be stunned.

"You gave it to me? Tierre? "

Vivian was a little surprised.

Not to mention Vivian, even Lumia and Melica were surprised.

"I …"

Tierre wanted to deny it.

But before that, Tierre subconsciously shut her mouth when she saw Sean gesturing to her from behind.

After a while, Tierre glared at Sean fiercely before turning her head away and replying in a low voice.

"It was indeed from me."

And so, Tierre became Shien's accomplice.

"Phew …"

Shien heaved a sigh of relief again.

Yesterday, after using that excuse, Shien had already thought of asking Tierre to help him cover up the lie.

After all, Tierre was the only one in the team who knew more or less about Shien's true strength and secrets. Based on her attitude before, she should be willing to help Shien hide the truth.

As it turned out, Shien's idea was right. Tierre had indeed connived with him.

However, everyone in the team was unsurprisingly surprised by this.

"I didn't expect Tierre to …"

"I've never seen Tierre use a magic tool before."

Lumia and Melica looked at each other.

Vivian also frowned. She glanced at Shien and then at Tierre, her eyes revealing a smile and helplessness that others couldn't detect.

"Forget it. Since you all have said so, I won't pursue the matter." Vivian said, "Anyway, we have basically confirmed the identity of the person who was subdued by Shien. Shien has done something good in disguise and not done something bad."

Hearing this, Shien was a little concerned.

"Have you found out the identity of that person?"

Shien asked Vivian.

"That's right."

Vivian nodded.

Shortly after, Shien heard this sentence.

"That person should be from the Old Demons Faction."
