Chapter 651

From Shien's point of view, he couldn't feel the slightest breath or signs of life from Harvey at all.

Apart from the condensed mana and the faint aura of death that was emanating from Harvey's body, there was almost nothing that indicated that he was alive.

Looking at Harvey in such a state, Capelin turned to an old man in a robe beside her with a pained expression.

"Temple Elder, has Lord Brother's condition not improved?"

Capelin asked the other party.

The other party was the Temple Elder of the Imperial Temple, the leader of all the clergymen in the entire Empire, and a Temple Mage with a level of 89.

It was only then that Shien realized that not all the leaders of the Temples could be called Popes.

Only the most trusted and most respected clergymen of the Protoss would be crowned with the title of Pope. There would only be one Pope in a generation.

The current Pope was a Legendary-level powerhouse of the Imperial Temple. He was the leader of the clergymen of the entire Kingdom, and his status was equal to that of the King.

As for the leader of the clergymen of the Empire, it was only the Temple Elder of the Imperial Temple.

The Temple Elder had been secretly observing Shien ever since he saw him. It was only then that he looked at Capelin and smiled bitterly.

"I'm very sorry, Your Highness Capelin. As you can see, Prince Harvey is not injured, nor is he cursed. Instead, he has been eroded by a large amount of aura of death, and has been turned into a half-human, half-zombie zombie by Necromancy. Trying to save Prince Harvey in such a state is no different from resurrecting the dead. Not to mention me, even Pope Ule of the Imperial Temple might not be able to save him."

The Temple Elder sighed and told the others how bad Harvey's condition was.

"Is there no way?"

Capelin looked a little anxious.

"It's not that there is no way." The Temple Elder sighed and said, "If the Goddess of Life Anima was here, she would definitely be able to use her power to expel the aura of death for Prince Harvey, purify his body, restore his body to vitality, and give him a new life force so that Prince Harvey could come back to life."

In other words, apart from the Goddess of Life Anima, no one could save Harvey.

Capelin looked at Harvey, who was lying on the bed, motionless like a dead man. After a while, she turned to Shien.

"Do you have any way?"

Capelin was almost begging Shien.

Clearly, Capelin of Harvey's condition made Capelin despair.

"As long as we expel of the aura of death and purify his body, will we be able to save him?"

"As long as we expel the death aura from his body and purify his body, will we be able to save him?"

" The Temple Elder was a little startled by Shien's question, and then said nervously, "As long as we expel the aura of death and restore the vitality of the body that has turned into a half-corpse, it is not impossible to use the highest level of recovery magic to replenish the lost vitality of His Highness Harvey."

However, the aura of death was very difficult to deal with, even more so than a curse. The Temple Elder had already used various means to get rid of the negative state, but in the end, he had not been able to expel the aura of death and purify Harvey's body. This showed how difficult it was.

But Shien smiled.

"In that case, let me give it a try."

With that, Shien pulled out the Holy Sword at his waist.

"Unseal (Heresu)."

With a short incantation, Shien unlocked the first seal of the Holy Sword.

Thus, the Holy Sword bloomed with light, causing the steel blade covering the blade to fall off, turning into a sword ring, and covering the hilt.

"Oh oh …!"

The Temple Elder immediately let out a sound of gratitude, and almost without thinking, he knelt down toward the holy light emitted from the Holy Sword.

Around him, the clergymen who had been accompanying him also knelt down in shock and excitement.

"The light of the Holy Sword!"

"God …"

"I never thought that in this life, I would actually be able to see the true Holy Sword of the Hero!"

"Oh Goddess! Oh Hero! "

The group of clergymen let out exclamations of gratitude.

Capeline also looked at this scene, and her eyes fluctuated violently.

"He really is the Hero …"

Looking at Shien holding the Holy Sword, even though it was not the first time Capeline had seen such a scene, she still felt a little incredulous.

She pressed on the imitation Holy Sword at her waist.

After everything had settled, this imitation Holy Sword that had fallen on the battlefield was successfully found by Capeline.

Now, the imitation Holy Sword was shaking slightly, as if it was feeling excited and happy.

The real Holy Sword appeared in front of it. As an imitation, the reaction of the imitation Holy Sword was naturally not small.

Shien did not care about all this. Instead, he held the Holy Sword and came in front of Harvey.

"Pfft!"

In the next second, Shien suddenly waved the Holy Sword in his hand and slashed at Harvey, cutting open Harvey's body.

No, what Shien cut open was not Harvey's body, but the aura of death that lingered around Harvey's body.

With the help of the Holy Sword's divine power, Shien almost effortlessly cut off the aura of death that even the Temple Elder could not do anything about. He then let the light of the Holy Sword sprinkle on Harvey's body, purifying his body.

Under such circumstances, Harvey's body finally showed some changes.

His face gradually regained color, and his chest rose and fell again, giving him signs of life.

"Elder Brother!"

Seeing this, Capeline could not help but cry out in surprise.

"God … Miracle …!"

The Temple Elder also began to yell and shout.

However, what Shien wanted to do was not over yet.

"[Celestial Breath]."

Shien cast magic, letting starlight and holy light sprinkle on Harvey's body.

"This … This is celestial magic …!?"

The Temple Elder was shocked again.

Shien still ignored him and focused on casting magic to restore Harvey's lost life force.

If the aura of death still lingered on Harvey's body, then this life force would be plundered and transformed into the aura of death.

If Harvey's body was not purified and was still half-human and half-corpse, equivalent to a living dead, then the life force would not germinate in his body.

Shien used the power of the Holy Sword to cut off the aura of death and purify his body, restoring Harvey's foundation as a living person.

With the treatment of [Celestial Breath], which was equivalent to the most advanced recovery magic, Harvey's life force was restored at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Ugh …"

Not long after, Harvey let out a soft moan, and his eyelids trembled slightly. Under everyone's expectant gaze, he slowly opened his eyes.

"I … I am …?"

Harvey looked around with a blank look on his face as he murmured.

"Elder Brother!"

Finally, Capeline let out a cry of joy.

In the Temple, a burst of surprised shouts sounded one after another.

…

Just like that, Harvey recovered.

He seemed to have no memory of the time when he was turned into a dead soul, so he had been very confused and did not know what had happened.

It was not until Capeline explained everything to him that Harvey gradually understood the situation and was silent for a long time.

Afterward, Harvey sighed.

"I didn't expect that when I woke up, everything was already over." Harvey said to Shien and Capeline apologetically, "I'm sorry to have caused you trouble."

"It's nothing." Capeline shook her head, indicating that Harvey did not care.

"You just fell into the trap of that poison concubine. It's not the first time." Shien's words were a little discouraging, making Harvey smile bitterly.

"I only remember that I was waiting for your news in the palace. Then, that poison concubine suddenly came to me and did something to me." Harvey said helplessly, "Then, I lost consciousness. I didn't know what happened until now when I woke up."

"So happy." Shien said from the bottom of his heart, "I also want to wake up, and everything is over. All the flood has nothing to do with me."

"Are you mocking me?" Harvey rolled his eyes and said, "When I was listening to your narration, I was still thinking about how we wouldn't have been able to defeat the Poison Concubine if it wasn't for you. The empire would've been consigned to eternal damnation because of the Poison Concubine's actions."

"Yes." Shien said disapprovingly, "Then everything is over. What are you going to do next?"

"What else can I do?" Javis shrugged and said, "Since Mo Luo has been successfully eradicated, and the emperor has died suddenly, everything else is logical."

That's right. Everything that happened next would be logical.

Harvey would naturally ascend to the throne and become the emperor of the empire.

The people of the empire would naturally support him because he was the only prince of the empire.

The empire would naturally be reborn.

The nobles who supported Harvey would naturally be put in important positions, and those who were involved with the concubine's faction would naturally be removed.

And Shien would naturally complete the deal with Harvey.

"According to the previous agreement, I will unconditionally support all your actions during the period of my succession, and even until you die." Harvey looked straight at Shien and said, "In other words, from now on, the empire will become a force at your disposal."

This was the bargaining chip Harvey was willing to pay.

But …

"This relationship can only be done in the dark, not in the open, right?"

Shien stated Harvey's condition.

There was no other way.

After all, Shien was a noble of the kingdom.

If Harvey openly expressed his allegiance to Shien as the emperor, then everyone in the empire would probably rebel.

Therefore, the relationship between Shien and Harvey could only be kept in the dark and could not be exposed.

But under the condition that it was not exposed, Harvey would do his best to meet all of Shien's future requests.

"I'm afraid we will have to deal with each other a lot in the future."

Harvey smiled.

"I hope you don't regret it."

Shien, on the other hand, thought of the trouble he was in and curled his lips.

At this point, the empire could truly be considered to be on the path of rebirth.

And the storm surrounding the hero Shien was also about to arrive.
