Chapter 86

In fact, it was not surprising that Lily could guess the relationship between Shien and Lésia.

Shien was the only one who had interacted with Lésia. Since Lésia did not reject him and only met him, there had to be a reason.

It could be that she was curious about Shien, the so-called new adventurer who could subdue Killian.

It could also be that Lésia knew Shien's secret and suspected Shien's identity.

But if that was the case, Lésia only had a reason to meet Shien, and not to stay in Lamigion.

It was unlikely that such a famous wanted criminal would ignore her own situation and the fact that she was a fugitive and stay here, waiting for others to find trouble with her, right?

Therefore, Lai Xia must have some ulterior motives.

Shien claimed that he was not targeting Lamigion, so it was very likely that he was targeting the Old Demons.

Considering this possibility, in addition to the fact that Shien had revealed himself to be extraordinary and that he had met Lésia alone, it was not impossible for Lily to guess that Lésia wanted to join forces with Shien to take down the Old Demons.

Shien was shocked not because he was making a fuss, but because he thought that a person of high status like Lily would not believe his one-sided story and think that Lésia really had no intentions towards Lamigion.

From Shien's point of view, even if he said that Lésia had no motive in Lamigion, Lily would not believe him immediately.

That way, Lily would definitely have doubts about Lésia's motives and sink into deep thought. She would not be able to guess what he and Lésia were secretly planning.

Who would have thought that Lily would completely believe Shien's words? She really did not think that Lésia was plotting against Lamigion, and she immediately knew the truth.

Shien did not expect Lily to believe his words so much.

But Shien did not know that Lily did not trust him, but Vivian.

Lily did not know Shien's identity. She only knew that it was a secret that could not be exposed. Moreover, with Vivian, a childhood friend whom she could absolutely trust, she chose to stand on Shien's side and take Shien's words at face value.

As for Vivian, she did not trust Shien that much either.

Even if Vivian was kind and gentle, it did not mean that she would completely trust someone in such a short period of time.

The reason why Vivian had chosen to vouch for Shien and trust him so quickly was because she had more or less guessed Shien's identity.

From Vivian's point of view, Shien's identity was destined to be trustworthy. He could not be an evil person.

That was why Vivian had chosen to vouch for Shien, and Lily trusted Vivian. Eventually, a chain of relationships was formed, which led to Lily not suspecting Shien's words.

This was the kind of relationship that would appear in reality.

Reality wasn't a novel. There wouldn't be a situation where everyone except the main character would lose their intelligence. There would be a lot of idiots, but there were also a lot of smart people. A situation where everyone revolved around the main character like in a novel was basically impossible to happen.

The reality was that everyone had their own way of thinking, their own standpoint, and their own standards and judgments. Every outcome seemed so ordinary at first glance, but in fact, it was only produced after many thoughts and actions were interwoven together.

Although Shien had been bombarded by so many cliché plots in his previous world and could spoil some cliché developments in one fell swoop with disgust, since it was cliché, there would naturally not be any complicated thoughts interweaving together. Thus, unless this world had mind-reading or foresight skills for him to learn, how could he completely guess all the developments?

Reality was full of surprises.

Now, an accident had happened. It was impossible for everything to revolve around the main character, allowing him to smoothly achieve his goals. The thoughts and judgments of others would also greatly affect the current situation.

Of course, it could also be summed up by Shien's current mood.

"I really am not the main character."

It was a sad thing to think about.

However, Shien did not know this either. Although Lily had guessed something, she did not intend to reveal it.

After all, she was still on Shien's side, or rather, on Vivian's side.

That was why Lily answered Shien's question.

"Although she's a wanted criminal, the kingdom has always been wary of taking action against her. As they are worried that the unknown dangerous item will be used, the kingdom has always been very cautious in dealing with her. Unless we have absolute confidence, we can only wait and see to avoid angering her. Even if we let her go, no one will have any objections."

Lily explained to Shien.

"As for the Old Demons, they might attack Lamageon out of anger, but they are not fools. Even Killian was subdued here. Even if they claim that you, the new adventurer, used a powerful magical item to succeed in a sneak attack, they wouldn't want to take such a huge risk, right?"

What if there were more of the magic tools that could subdue even Killian in the Lamegion?

The people of the Old Demon Clan would definitely have such misgivings.

So, if Killian was still here, they might take the risk. But if Killian was no longer in Lamageon, they would definitely not take the risk without any benefits, lest they suffer any more losses.

"Well, if I had that magical item, I wouldn't mind them attacking me directly. In fact, I really hope that they would attack me. That way, we can eradicate those pests." Lily flashed a beautiful smile at Sean. She said in a charming and tempting manner, "If Mr. Sean still has that kind of powerful magical tool, you must let me know. I can buy it at a high price."

Shien almost lost his composure when he heard that.

"That … That's not my own … Senior Tierre gave it to me to protect myself …"

Sean once again took up the cause of shifting the blame, but his tone sounded hesitant no matter how one listened to it.

The group of young ladies couldn't help but roll their eyes, especially Tierre. She felt that she had done something wrong when she had helped Sean with his lie.

If even Tierre was like that, Lily and Vivian would be even more so.

Tierre had only helped Shien with his lie within the team, but Lily and Vivian had helped Shien with his lie to the public, claiming that they were the ones who gave the magical item to Shien.

Now that they saw Shien shifting the blame, he had become even more arrogant in the guild. Both of them were starting to doubt whether they had done the right thing by helping him clean up the mess so many times.

"Anyway, that's how it is."

Lily sighed and said to everyone, "This is a secret mission.

"This commission is classified as a secret mission. Except for a small number of related people, no one can disclose it, lest this operation is exposed. Not only will it fail to achieve its goal, but it will also lead the people of the old demon race to your side, causing you to be attacked by the old demon race."

"The guild will not only assign you to this mission. Apart from you, there are two other high-level teams that have been entrusted with this mission.

The mission will take place in two days. Make your preparations. "
