Chapter 68

Just like what Tierre said, since Lésia claimed that she had "escaped" to Lamegion when they first met, the reason for her escape was very intriguing.

If she needed to escape, it meant that someone was after her.

With that in mind, the Old Demons came to him with a portrait of Lésia and asked him if he had seen her and where she was. No matter what, it was obvious that the people chasing after Lésia were the Old Demons.

The question was, why would the Old Demons chase after Lésia?

"Don't tell me they're hunting you down because you stole the mansion left behind by the Demon King?"

Shien suspected.

"How could that be?" Lésia chuckled and said disdainfully, "Although those people claim that they want the Demons to return to their original form and follow the will of the Demon King, that they shouldn't betray their dignity and coexist with the Protoss and the human race just to survive, in the end, they're just a bunch of ambitious and evil people who want to do whatever they want and satisfy their selfish desires. They wouldn't go through so much trouble for a useless mansion."

"The prerequisite is that this mansion is really useless, right?" Sean simply poked at the heart of the problem and said, "What if this mansion actually has a function that the people of the old demon faction can't ignore?"

Then, the Old Demons would have a reason to take the mansion.

Of course, Lésia understood this.

But …

"Don't worry. As I said, this mansion is just something I stole along the way. Although it has some special effects, it's not enough to cause people with ulterior motives to fight over it." Lésia took a sip of black tea and said, "They're after something else, something that I really want to steal. It's not on the same level as this mansion."

"In other words, you have something that the Old Demons want, right?" Shien looked straight at Lésia and said, "What is it?"

"Why? Are you concerned about it? " "As expected, as a Hero, I can't just ignore something that's been targeted by the dangerous members of the old Demon Race, can I?" Raxia smiled with great interest.

Her words only got Shien's disapproving expression.

Lésia raised her eyebrows.

"Seems like that's not the case," Lésia muttered, "You're obviously less interested in these things than I thought."

That was indeed the case.

To be honest, Shien had no interest in the Old Demons or the conspiracies surrounding Lésia.

Originally, Shien knew that Lésia was "on the run", which was why he avoided her. Under such circumstances, he didn't care about what dangerous things Lésia had on her or the purpose of the Old Demons.

These things had nothing to do with him, so why would Shien care about them?

Therefore, as long as it didn't directly harm him, Shien really didn't want to get involved in these troublesome matters.

But …

"This is what it means to be in the human world." Shien said reluctantly, "Since Vivian and the others are so concerned about this matter, I probably can't stay out of it."

Vivian's team was obviously acting for the sake of this town and the kingdom.

Shien had received a lot of care from them, so it was necessary to return the favor.

To put it in simpler terms, it would be that …

"Whether it's you or the Old Demons, since you've dragged this town into this, unless I run far away, I'll probably be involved sooner or later, right?" Shien said with a fake smile, "Then don't you think I should do something?"

"Oh?" Laxia's interest was immediately piqued. She asked curiously, "Then what do you plan to do?"

"It's very simple." Shien said bluntly, "For example, I'll kill you here, then throw the things you stole and your ashes into the mountains, and let the Old Demons send people to loosen the soil for your grave or something like that."

"No, no, no! You and I should be working together to drive away the Old Demons, right?! "Lésia's face stiffened, and she couldn't help but complain loudly," That side is clearly the evil faction! What was the logic behind this solution? You're a hero, not the Demon King, right?! "

Obviously, even Lésia was almost frightened by Shien's strange style.

Only Shien didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his speech at all.

"Who said that the Brave Ones have to be righteous?" Shien replied with such words, "In the end, the hero is a means that the Protoss summons from the other world to deal with the Demon King. To put it nicely, it's a hero who saves the world. To put it bluntly, it's a weapon used for war. It's just a matter of different standpoints. If it's not the Protoss but the Demons who summon the hero, I guess the hero will only become a demon, right?"

"That … That's right …" Lésia was stunned, and said as if she had lost all her strength, "Is your brain always so strange? Why would the Protoss summon a guy like you into this world? "

"You don't know, but I want to ask." Shien said, "It's a good thing to be able to live again, but I'm starting to wonder if it's really a good thing."

"… Alright." Lai Xia could not find the words to refute. She could only hold it in for a long while before she said, "Let me remind you first. Regardless of strength, if I just want to escape, no one can kill me."

As a user of spatial magic, if Lésia just wanted to escape, no one would be able to catch her.

Otherwise, it would be a problem if Lai Xia could remain unscathed and do whatever she wanted in the face of the Old Devil Sect's pursuit.

But this was also the question that Shien wanted to ask.

"You can escape at any time if you want to, but you chose to stay in Lamegion, even after knowing that the Old Demons are looking for you. What's your purpose?"

Shien finally asked the question that bothered him the most.

Intuition told Shien that this matter might have something to do with him.

And Lésia's answer in the next second confirmed this thought.

"My purpose is to find you."

Lésia put on a poker face and stared at Shien.

"It's because I know you're the new hero that I stayed. Even when I received news that the Old Demons had already infiltrated Lamegion, I still didn't leave."

Hearing this, Shien only had one thought in his mind.

That was, trouble was coming.

As expected …

"Let's work together."

Lésia looked straight at Shien and said.
