Chapter 74

After that, Shien told Vivian and the rest about the conversation he had with Lésia in Floral Hall.

Of course, Shien only revealed part of it. He did not mention that he would be working with Lésia to destroy the main force of the Old Demons Faction.

If he told them about it, Vivian and the rest would definitely not agree to it, right?

"No matter what, I'm working with a wanted felon. If they find out about this …"

Shien had a bad feeling about it.

Shien even wondered if this was part of Lésia's plan.

Otherwise, if Lésia had revealed her identity from the start, Shien would have reconsidered and not agreed to it so easily.

However, Shien was very clear about Lésia's intentions.

"That person seems to be hiding from the Old Demons Faction because she doesn't want that thing to be abused. So, there shouldn't be a purpose for her to appear in Lamegion."

Shien decided to let Vivian and the rest know about this.

But, if it was possible, Shien wanted to complain.

"If you don't want that thing to be abused, why did you steal it from King's City?"

You really have nothing better to do.

Of course. That was what Shien thought, but he knew very well that there must be a deeper story behind this. Otherwise, it wouldn't have ended up like this.

And Shien might be involved in this. If he continued to actively contact Vivian, he might be able to dig out something.

Unfortunately, Shien had no such thoughts.

"As the saying goes, the more you know, the more dangerous it is. It's better to just let that kind of secret that will mess with my life for the rest of my life go to hell."

Based on the above reasons, Shien did not want to know about the inside story at all.

At least, not now.

After all, Shien had only been in this world for about half a month. Even with a cheat, he had not fully developed yet. Not only was he only level 18, but he could also learn more powerful skills with unique skills, making him far stronger than he was now.

Think about it, if he did not have this condition, he could imagine how miserable it would be if he was only level 18 and got involved in this matter.

Therefore, Shien felt that it was better for him to avoid this kind of thing while he could still grow rapidly. When he really couldn't avoid it anymore, he would only feel at ease if he had absolute strength to deal with it.

To put it simply, Sean was more inclined to grow wretchedly and then push through in one wave instead of working hard to break through the Shuraba. This could be seen from his previous behavior of wanting to defeat the Demon King without any risk.

"In any case, I won't be interested in those otherworldly quests that torment myself half to death."

Therefore, Shien was not too hung up on what Lésia had taken from the city, and what the Old Demons were after. As long as the former didn't have it easy, and the latter didn't have it their way, the result was enough. Why should he worry too much about other things?

Under such circumstances, Shien said what he needed to say, and left the rest to Vivian and the rest to make their own judgment.

And so …

"I'll have a good talk with Lily about this," Vivian said to everyone after a moment of contemplation. After pondering for a while, Vivian said to the rest, "Let's cancel our expedition for now. We don't know what's going to happen next. We'll just stay in Lamigion and wait for further orders."

This was a stop-gap measure.

"I have no objections," Tierre said plainly. "I'll be staying in town for the time being. It'll be convenient for us to assemble and move around at any time."

"I … I have no objections either," Lucia said with some concern. Lumia said worriedly, "With the current situation, I don't feel comfortable leaving my family alone in town …"

"Of course I have no objections," Merica quickly said. Merica hurriedly said, "If anything happens, remember to tell us immediately, Sister Vivian."

"Yes, I will." Vivian smiled and nodded. She then looked at Shien, thought for a moment, and said, "Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be accepting any missions for the time being. But the assessment will continue. An adventurer's job isn't just about combat power. You don't seem to have a good understanding of many aspects, so I suggest you look for opportunities to supplement your knowledge in various aspects."

Shien naturally accepted this suggestion.

Originally, Shien didn't know much about this world.

If there was a chance to supplement his knowledge in this area and let him have a better understanding of this world, Shien would definitely welcome it.

If Shien was like everyone else and knew that Lésia was wanted by the Kingdom, perhaps so many things wouldn't have happened.

That way, Shien would definitely report her to the Adventurers Guild or the Knighthood the first time he saw her. Let's see if she still dared to wander around freely.

With this thought in mind, Shien received a very useful piece of information from Vivian.

"There's a huge library on the third floor of the guild. There are many useful books for adventurers to use. You can go there to take a look when you're free."

This news made Shien's eyes light up.

Why did Shien choose to become an adventurer in the first place?

Apart from solving the problem of his identity, didn't he also need to use the Adventurers Guild to gather information?

Now, it was time to use it.

"I knew it. Reality is different from novels. Adventurers need to solve all kinds of missions and need to have knowledge in many aspects. For example, how to dissect magical materials, how to identify various magical items, and so on. There's bound to be a channel for adventurers to understand and learn."

Originally, Shien thought that the guild relied on the old to guide the new and let the old to teach the new. Now, it seemed that the guild provided assistance in this aspect in a more convenient way.

Perhaps this was specially prepared by Lily, a person who liked to prepare for a rainy day.

No matter what, this was very useful to Shien.

"Time is of the essence. I'll use it without hesitation."

After making up his mind, Shien immediately headed to the third floor of the guild after Vivian's party was dismissed.

…

Third floor, library.

It was an extremely vast space.

Bookshelves were arranged neatly like a long dragon, extending into the depths of one's vision.

Books, old and new, were quietly lying on the many bookshelves, emitting a unique scent of books.

"It's really big."

When Shien arrived, he looked at the vast place that looked more like a bookstore than a library. He sighed.

Inside, many adventurers seemed to be using this place as well. They were confirming something in front of the crystal-like magical items. Then, they dispersed and headed towards the bookshelves.

Shien walked forward curiously and arrived in front of a magical item. In the end, he discovered that it was a table of contents that displayed the various types of books and their positions on the shelves.

"That's pretty good."

Shien smiled and confirmed the table of contents.
