Chapter 618

Old Lefferut House.

This place had been razed to the ground by the meteor shower, and it had been silenced just last night.

Hence, the Imperial Knights were still heavily surrounding the place, not allowing anyone to enter or leave.

The court mages and officials from the palace were walking back and forth, casting magic from time to time and recording something. Clearly, they were investigating the truth behind the destruction of the Lefferut Family.

Although a meteor shower had completely destroyed this place, and even the people of the Lefferut Family were almost wiped out, making it difficult to find anything, there was still magic in this world, and some special series of magic could more or less have some miraculous effects and find some clues.

For example, there was magic that could allow people to see what had happened here in the past.

For example, there was magic that could detect mana and aura accurately, and pick out the mana of the culprit from the many fluctuating mana residues, record it, and then use tracking magic to arrest it.

The people from the palace were doing such preparatory work, and it would not take long for them to be able to spy on the mysterious powerhouse's location even if they did not know the true identity of the mysterious powerhouse.

At least, that was what the people here thought.

Unfortunately, they did not know that Shien had the Destiny of Heaven, a skill that could avoid all types of magical detection.

Hence, even if they recorded Shien's mana, it would be impossible to use tracking magic to find Shien's location.

Moreover, although Shien had a large amount of mana left here last night and squandered a lot of it, Shien was not the only one here.

It was not an easy task to find Shien's mana from so many people's mana.

Even if there was a chance that the people of the empire found him, the empire would definitely not dare to come looking for trouble with a top Legendary powerhouse, just as Lockett had said before.

Of course, these considerations had nothing to do with the people here.

They only needed to carry out the tasks assigned by the higher-ups, and did not need to consider so many problems.

Under such circumstances, the people here were still doing their own things, making the place rather lively.

However, from time to time, some conversations could be heard from these people.

"Has His Majesty really gone crazy?"

"It's a magic that causes madness …"

"His Majesty is really unlucky to have such a powerful magic that can only be removed by the Pope of the Shrine of the Kingdom."

"But this also means that someone has sneaked into the palace again, and this time attacked the emperor, right?"

"Who the hell has such ability?"

"Is it that strange thief from before?"

"I think it's that mysterious powerhouse."

"The palace has been invaded one after another. The palace is no longer as impregnable as it used to be."

"I heard that the nobles and the higher-ups are going crazy, and the palace is in chaos."

"Not only do they have to deal with His Majesty, the palace is no longer safe, and we don't know if there will be another victim. These nobles must be worried, right?"

"Serves them right. They're always ordering us to do this and that, and they've always been sitting in the palace. They thought that no matter what they did, they wouldn't be threatened. Now those nobles must be dumbfounded."

"I heard that a viscount's family in the south was also silently annihilated."

"

"What?"

"Why are all sorts of things happening in the Imperial Capital?"

"I have a feeling that something big is going to happen."

"Where … Where should we go?"

This kind of conversation would appear from time to time in the mouths of the people here, causing many people to reveal somewhat uneasy and perplexed expressions.

The current imperial capital was indeed in troubled times, and there was already chaos, which made many people feel terrified and uneasy.

Most of the nobles had also fallen into a state of apprehension, and they were anxious all day long. For this reason, they were extremely concerned about the recent events and rumors in the imperial capital.

It could only be said that the people of the empire were a little scattered.

Under such circumstances, as the instigator of all this, Shien suddenly appeared here without a sound.

He was not discovered by anyone, nor did he do anything special. He just used the super concealment ability of [Inner Perception of Destiny] to enter Lefferut's house, and then came to a dug up ground.

There were many mages working here, using all kinds of magic and moving stones.

This was because, according to their investigation, they found that there was a very vast underground space under Lefferut's house.

That was where Shien buried the people of Lefferut's family alive.

At this moment, this place was dug up by the court mages from the imperial palace with magic, and they were ready to enter and investigate.

Shien looked at this scene and closed his eyes.

The perception power belonging to [Outer Perception of Destiny] spread out, and after being controlled by Shien, it directly penetrated into the ground.

That's right.

Shien was also investigating here.

After using the perception power of [Outer Perception of Destiny] to investigate, Shien immediately found something.

"It's really here."

Sean smiled bitterly as he took a step forward and disappeared on the spot.

When he reappeared, he was already in the basement of Lefferut's house.

However, Shien was not in the previous underground hall, but in an extremely hidden space.

This place was located in the deepest underground of Lefferut's house, and there were signs of barrier protection. At a glance, one could tell that it was a very important place.

But at this time, all the people of Lefferut's family had died, and it was useless no matter how important this place was. The protection of the barrier was also useless, and even if someone touched it, no one would notice.

Shien did not deliberately destroy it. Instead, he used Instant Transmission again, and routinely passed through the barrier and entered the inside of the barrier.

As soon as he entered, Shien was surprised to find that.

"So this is the treasure house?"

There were all kinds of gold and silver treasures here, and just like the warehouse that Shien found in the secret base of the high priest, there were all kinds of precious magic tools in it.

It was obvious that this was the treasure house of Lefferut's family.

"Good heavens."

Shien sighed.

If he had known earlier, he would not have run so fast. He would have searched this place first before leaving.

Fortunately, no one had arrived here yet. Otherwise, these gold and silver treasures would definitely be confiscated by the Empire.

"If I do something like this again in the future, I have to be careful not to run too fast. I have to walk around first and take everything that I should take."

Shien said that such a good thing like confiscating a family must not be missed in the future.

Otherwise, how many billions would I lose?

As a count, although Shien was not as poor as before, he also relied on You Lin to make a fortune.

In other words, his small treasury was not like these long-established nobles, which had long been filled to the brim.

In terms of personal wealth, Shien was undoubtedly the lowest among the counts, and even some viscounts and barons could not compare.

If there was a chance to fill up his small treasury, of course, the more the better.

Thinking of this, Shien could not help but walk in the direction of the gold and silver treasures.

At this moment …

"Swoosh!"

A black shadow suddenly scuttled behind Shien, and even leaped up, approaching from behind.

In his hand, dark red magical power flickered on a sharp blade, bringing with it a sharp sense of danger.

Without a doubt, that was the [Demonic Sword] skill.

The sudden attacker approached with the [Demonic Sword], mercilessly slashing at Shien's neck.

But just as the [Demonic Sword] was about to touch Shien's neck, Shien suddenly turned around, stretched out a hand, and grabbed the attacker's arm.

The attacker's [Demonic Sword] immediately stopped in front of Shien's neck, and his hand was tightly grabbed by Shien, unable to move.

"...!"

The attacker immediately raised his other hand.

Above it, another sharp blade appeared, and the surface of the blade was also flashing with dark red magic.

Seeing this, Shien was not surprised, but happy instead.

"That's enough, girl."

At that moment, Shien said angrily.

"You're not really planning to murder your husband, are you?"

When the words entered the attacker's ears, the sharp blade that was about to slash out stopped.

Even the hand that was grabbed by Shien loosened, and the dark red magic blade on the blade that was about to touch Shien's neck was dispelled in the shortest time possible.

Silence descended upon the area.

The attacker's full face was printed into Shien's eyes.

It was a petite young girl with a pair of sharp blades in her hand, wearing a hood and a mantle like Kieran.

"… Is that you?"

After a long silence, a familiar cold voice came from the young girl's mouth under the hood.

Shien looked at her steadily.

"Who else could it be if not me?"

Shien couldn't help but scold her.

Hearing that, the young girl finally relaxed her body.

Shien let go of her hand.

The young girl quickly put away the pair of sharp blades and took off her hood.

A second later, a face with the upper half of a mask was exposed before Shien's eyes.

A head of long purple hair was braided behind her back, looking unusually pleasing to the eye.

It was Tierre.

Tierre stared at Shien.

Shien understood and took off his hood as well.

Tierre's eyes rippled when she saw the familiar face before her eyes.

Soon, she lowered her head.

"… Why are you here?"

Tierre asked softly.

He looked like a child who had done something wrong.

"What?" Shien was even more annoyed. "If I didn't come, do you really want to stay here and let those despicable bastards hunt you down?"

Tierre was speechless.

She had indeed had a hard time this month.

Even though she had prepared herself mentally and it wasn't that she couldn't bear it, she still couldn't lift her head up in front of Shien.

Shien sighed and said helplessly.

"Come here."

Shien casually opened his hand to Tierre.

Tierre lifted her eyes and watched the scene unfold before her.

A moment later, Tierre walked up without a second thought. She took off the mask on her face, revealing her exquisite face and threw herself into Shien's arms.

Their lips kissed each other heavily, and there was no longer any distinction between them.
