Chapter 71

With Lésia's reminder, Shien remembered.

Previously, when Vivian said that she was looking for Lésia, this was what she had said.

"The existence targeted by the Old Demons is in Lamageion. This is a very unstable factor, so we have to find her and find out why she came to Lamageion. We have to figure out the cause of the whole thing. This is the mission that the president has personally issued to us."

That's right, Vivian said that they had to figure out Lésia's purpose and the cause of the whole thing, but not Lésia's identity and background.

Moreover, when the knight captain saw Lésia's portrait when he subdued Killian, he also had an ugly expression. This proved that Lésia's identity was not a secret to these people.

Perhaps Lésia's identity was more transparent than Shien had imagined.

However, this girl had been talking about stealing the Demon King's official residence and stealing dangerous things since the beginning. Could it be that her real identity was some heroic thief or righteous thief?

… Should I just capture her and be done with it?

The way Shien looked at Lésia gradually changed.

"…!"

Lésia's sharp senses sensed something. Her body trembled, and she looked at Shien warily.

Although she did not know what this hero was thinking, Lésia knew that it was definitely not something good.

At that moment, out of self-preservation instinct, Lésia quickly changed the topic.

"In short, even if I'm not on the same side as you, I'm not your enemy. There's no harm in cooperating with me. Think about it carefully!"

At this point, Lésia's attitude was already very humble.

This made Lai Xia feel tired, and the idea of doubting her life became stronger and stronger.

"Hmm …"

Shien folded his arms and began to seriously consider this matter.

Destroy the main force of the Old Demons?

This wasn't something that he absolutely couldn't do.

After meeting Killian, Shien's impression of the so-called Old Demons had dropped to the lowest. Even if he really destroyed them all, he would not feel any psychological burden.

Moreover, if the Old Demons really came to rescue Killian, what would happen to Lamageion? Shien did not know, but Shien knew that those guys would definitely find trouble with him.

After all, according to the general direction of the plot, at this time, the pretentious criminal whose name was very similar to that of a small fry in a certain peasant manga should be mad at him, feeling that he had been humiliated by him, and in a state where he could not wait to kill him. If he was rescued afterwards, he would take revenge like a standard villain. It could basically be said that it was a plot that could be thought of using one's knees to think.

Moreover, the other party would definitely come to take revenge in a very high-profile manner, such as taking the people of this town as hostages, forcing him into a desperate situation, or taking the whole town to be buried with him, letting him die in agony and so on. This could be said to be the typical villain style.

When that time came, he would be "forced" to take out the holy sword and kill all these villains in a second, but because of this, his identity would be exposed. From then on, he would enter the eyes of the major forces, be valued or worshipped, and establish the protagonist mode. This was another trick, right?

If Shien wanted to be the protagonist, this would be a textbook example. All he had to do was follow it.

Unfortunately, Shien was not that kind of person.

If that was the case …

(Why don't I take this opportunity to sneakily get rid of those so-called Old Demon Faction fellows without any risk, and then push all the blame onto this great Hero Bandit.)

Shien suddenly saw the light.

But before that, Shien still had something to confirm.

"With just the two of us, can we destroy the main force of the Old Demons?"

Shien's meaning was clear. He did not want to meet some big shot and be killed in the end.

"You're still worried about this?" Laxia laughed and said, "You're able to remain unscathed in front of me even though your level is so low. If you add the power of the holy sword to the mix, apart from the three goddesses and the six demons, who else can be a match for you?"

"That's not necessarily true." Shien did not get carried away at all. Instead, he was very cautious. "How do I know how high the level of the people coming will be? How strong will their abilities be? Not to mention, everyone knows that it's easy to dodge a spear but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark. If I can't do it in the open, how do I know if the other party will not do it in the dark? "

At least, Shien did not think that reality was like the novels, where as long as one was strong enough, they could destroy the universe and ignore everything.

One had to know that in the current era, even a warring race that could blow up a planet could be almost killed by a laser gun. The hanging man who hid in the life support system all day could also fall in front of the gun of a double-faced spy who spoke a strange Kansai accent. Sean felt that it was better for him to be cautious in case something went wrong.

"You're really a strange guy." Lésia laughed bitterly. "Indeed, the Old Demons have many inhumane means to use, and I can't guarantee that it's foolproof. But this time, we're going to attack them, not them hiding in the dark. As long as we're careful, with your and my abilities, we should be able to keep our lives and escape in one piece, right?"

Shien had extremely high-level resistance skills and the protection of the holy sword. Even if he could not win, he would not be in trouble. This had been proven in front of Lésia.

Furthermore, Lésia was a user of spatial magic. If she simply wanted to escape, almost no one could stop her.

With this ability as a guarantee, Lésia dared to invite Shien to destroy the main force of the Old Demons.

"Unless the other side has some strange unique skill user, but the probability is very low, so we can rest assured."

Lésia seemed to be very confident, but Shien still felt that this was a flag …

But …

"Unique skill?"

Shien pondered.

"That's right." Lésia nodded. "Unique skills are very special abilities. They may be completely useless, or they may show earth-shattering effects and overturn all unfavorable conditions. So, people who can awaken unique skills are generally valued. You're so extraordinary at such a low level because of your unique skill, right?"

Therefore, whether or not there was a unique skill, and what effect it had, directly determined a person's usefulness and strength.

"Generally speaking, it's fine if you don't have a unique skill, but if you do, you first have to consider the strength of the unique skill, and then calculate the level and skill. This is the standard to judge a person's strength."

That was Lésia's explanation.

"For example, the Six Great Demons of the Demon Realm. In terms of levels and skills, the cadres under them aren't much different from them. However, as the Demon King's dependents, the Six Great Demons all have rather terrifying unique skills. They can easily crush these cadres whose levels and skills aren't much different from theirs.

"It's also because of this that the heroes of the past have high hopes. They usually have powerful unique skills, and some even have holy swords that don't lose out to unique skills. With these two conditions added together, even the three Goddesses and the Six Great Demons dare not underestimate them."

"You haven't been summoned to this world for long, but as a hero, you should be able to grow quickly. In the future, when you encounter enemies, you must not ignore the effect of unique skills, okay?"

Listening to Lésia's words, Shien pondered.
