Chapter 650

"Hmm?"

On this side, as soon as Shien came out of Bigusler's house, he found that there seemed to be something wrong with his surroundings.

No, it was not that there was something wrong with his surroundings, but that there was something wrong with the entire imperial capital.

Looking around, Shien found that other than the mansions of Bigusler's house and a few of the great aristocratic families, the rest of the buildings were somewhat damaged.

Some of them had collapsed, some were missing a corner, and some were even directly reduced to ruins, making the entire aristocratic district look like some construction site.

At this time, all kinds of people were wandering around these buildings, and some were even using magic to carry out repair and repair work. It actually looked like reconstruction after a disaster was in full swing.

There was nothing strange about this.

What was really strange was that there would be waves of magic sweeping through the air from time to time.

That was …

"Detection magic?"

Shien began to ponder.

The magic that swept across the air from time to time was the phenomenon of detection magic being activated.

In other words, someone was probing and investigating the current imperial capital.

Moreover, looking at the magic fluctuations, the existence that activated the magic was undoubtedly an expert, and there was more than one.

Sean had a vague feeling that something was amiss.

"Are they looking for me?"

This was the only reason that Shien could think of.

Currently, in the Imperial Capital, apart from himself, only the 11 missing demon whelps were worth someone using magic to investigate with great fanfare.

But if they were looking for the demon babies, then the magic detection should be a little bolder.

These magic fluctuations were a little obscure, telling Shien that the person who activated the magic actually did not want others to discover their existence.

Being so secretive proved that the other party was not the imperial knights who wanted to openly look for the demon babies, but someone with ulterior motives who wanted to secretly find his existence.

"Is it the reconnaissance team of another country? Or the Demons? "

Shien thought so.

He was more inclined to the latter.

Compared to the other countries in the human world, the Demons were naturally more eager to find him.

"They're quite fast."

Shien sighed.

He knew that the appearance of the Hero must have stimulated the nerves of some of the Demons.

After a thousand years, the former natural enemy had returned again, and the Demon King had been suppressed, so what reason did the other party have to appear in this world again?

Could it be a conspiracy of the Protoss?

Or someone wanted to target the Demons?

There must be a lot of people who thought like this.

Since that was the case, for some of the demons who were more sensitive and were wary of the Hero, there was no way that they could just sit back and do nothing.

"I just don't know if there is any demon behind the scenes giving instructions."

"I just don't know which Demon is behind this."

With the automatic evasion effect of [Inner Perception of Destiny] against detection magic, it was undoubtedly a fool's dream for the other party to find him with the detection magic.

Previously, Shien was discovered by the high priest's [Death Cloister] because this magic targeted people's vitality, and Shien's [Inner Perception of Destiny] was relatively weak when he was not in the hidden state, which led to him being discovered. Secondly, at that time, Shien's intrusion was very sudden, and it was understandable that he would unconsciously trigger the detection magic's "radar".

This time, Shien would not expose himself.

Because he knew that it was not suitable for him to walk on the streets and appear in the open.

Therefore, he entered the hidden state from the beginning, allowing the concealment effect of [Inner Perception of Destiny] to play to the limit.

Under such circumstances, unless the other party used some unique or special skill with an extremely powerful detection effect, it was impossible to use magic to discover the existence of Shien.

However, these phenomena could be considered as a warning to Shien.

Right now, he was indeed being targeted by a lot of people.

Moreover, if this was not handled properly, the peace that had been maintained for a thousand years could really collapse.

If it weren't for the fact that the imperial capital had just suffered heavy losses and was currently undergoing emergency reconstruction, and that the empire's knights were also trying their best to find the traces of the young demons to help stabilize the order in the imperial capital, the empire would definitely fight with the demons if they dared to use detection magic to investigate the entire imperial capital in such an arrogant manner.

From this, it could be seen how sensitive the existence of the Brave was to the Demons.

"This time, I might have to take the initiative to talk to Sela and Lidas."

Sean muttered to himself as he teleported and left the place.

For now, it was better to deal with the various follow-up matters of the Empire.

Only by dealing with the mess here could he do other things.

…

Imperial Capital, Imperial Palace.

At this moment, a large number of Imperial Knights and Court Mages were going in and out of the palace, carrying out repair work in every corner.

Naturally, it was impossible for the palace to be completely repaired in three days.

Even with the help of magic and the power of various magic tools, it would be impossible to completely restore the palace without a few months' time.

The palace was originally magnificent and vast, and there were countless buildings. Now that all of them were destroyed, it would undoubtedly be very time-consuming and labor-intensive to rebuild, not to mention the need to set up various barriers, magic systems, and ritual venues. Adding all of these together, it would be a matter of gratitude if they could repair it in a few months' time.

However, after three days of rushing work, at least the palace was no longer just a pile of ruins, and some key facilities were first rebuilt with a lot of resources.

Among these important facilities, there was a bedchamber.

Capeline was dealing with various matters here.

As the only legitimate member of the royal family who was still at peace with each other, in the past few days, all kinds of trivial matters of the entire Empire fell on Capeline's shoulders.

The reconstruction work of the Imperial Capital, the search for the young Demons, the settlement of the people and the treatment of the injured, the pursuit of the defectors led by Saliro, and so on and so forth, all the work required Capeline's personal instructions.

In addition, the chaotic situation outside the Imperial Capital also required Capeline to deal with.

After all, Mara's large-scale magic rituals were spread all over the Empire.

Not to mention the panic and impact that the abnormal phenomenon that appeared that day had on various parts of the Empire, the impact of the ritual that Mara had been planning for ten years after it was activated was already very shocking.

For example, there were many underground facilities like the secret base that Shien had destroyed before in the Empire.

They were facilities dug out by Mara secretly captured people from all over the world, and the purpose was to engrave ritual magic arrays. Therefore, they were dug up to almost every corner of the Empire. After the ritual was activated, these places collapsed one after another, causing a great impact on the local ecological environment.

There were also the monsters within the Empire. After the ritual was activated, all of them were alarmed, causing many monsters to rush out of their habitats and impact the local cities.

In addition, the activation of the ritual also affected the flow of magic and the source of magic within the Empire. All kinds of troubles came at once, causing Capeline to be overwhelmed.

What was more troublesome was that in this situation, Capeline had to guard against threats from outside the Empire.

Who knew if some countries wanted to take advantage of the chaos to do something to the Empire?

Who knew if some evil organizations would take the opportunity to enter the Empire and do whatever they wanted?

All kinds of situations and considerations came one after another, making Capeline really feel like she was about to collapse.

"If Lord Brother was here …"

Capeline bit her lips tightly.

If it was Harvey, he should be able to calmly consider the overall situation, grasp the situation perfectly, and handle everything in an orderly manner, right?

Compared to the smart Harvey, Capeline was actually better at marching troops and fighting wars.

However, her father had already gone mad. After the previous battle, he was found by the knight to have died suddenly in his bedroom. He was probably killed by Mara. Her brother's situation was extremely bad, and it was unknown if he could even survive.

The rest of her brothers and sisters were all persecuted by Mara. They were either dead or injured. There was no way they could help.

As a result, Capeline naturally felt mentally and physically exhausted when dealing with these government affairs that she was not good at.

"The current situation is still so unstable. What will the Empire's future be like …?"

Capeline was a little lost.

Until a figure appeared in front of her.

"This distressed look doesn't look like you at all, Your Highness."

When the teasing voice entered Capelin's ears, Capelin had already seen the appearance of the person who had arrived.

"You …!"

Immediately, Capeline couldn't help but stand up, surprised and happy.

"It seems that you are in big trouble."

Shien looked at Capeline and suddenly smiled.

"Let's not talk anymore. Take me to see Harvey first."

Hearing this, Capeline took in a deep breath and nodded heavily.

…

Imperial City, Godly Temple.

This was one of the few buildings in the Imperial City that could remain intact after the aftermath of the terrible impact a few days ago.

As the representative of the Protoss in the human world, the Godly Temple did not intervene in the civil strife of the Empire a few days ago. However, with the protection of a high-level enchantment, it survived the disaster calmly.

Harvey was sent to the Godly Temple.

Because only the clergy in the Godly Temple had the opportunity to learn the holy and healing magic created by the Protoss, when people encountered all kinds of difficult and complicated diseases, at least they could get the best care here.

Harvey was sent to the Godly Temple to receive treatment from the clergy.

Unfortunately, three days of treatment did not improve Harvey's condition.

He was lying on the bed in one of the more luxurious rooms, unconscious. His face was deathly pale, as if he was already dead. There was not the slightest bit of movement.

Shien came here under Capeline's lead and saw Harvey in such a state.

"This is really …"

Seeing Harvey's condition, Shien finally understood why everyone said he was not in a good state.

His condition was indeed very bad.
