Chapter 95

Lameegion, the streets of the East City Gate.

Amidst the messy and hurried footsteps, with Baylon in the lead, the knights and adventurers who were carrying out the secret escort mission hastened their journey as fast as they could.

Vivian, Tierre, Lumia, and Merica were among them, but their brows were tightly furrowed, and they wore expressions of bewilderment and surprise.

Not only Vivian and the others, but Baylon, Leon, Arliss, Eudilis, and Margray also had the same expression, causing them to rush towards the city gate.

When they arrived at the city gate, it was already packed with people and was surrounded by a large number of citizens.

The citizens seemed to want to leave the city, sticking their heads out and looking around, as if they were attracted by something. It was very lively.

The guards at the gate stopped them, not allowing them to leave the city.

"Lord Baylon!"

"Lord Baylon!"

Seeing that Baylon had brought a large group of people over, the guards at the gate finally let out a sigh of relief.

But Baylon didn't even care. She led everyone through the city gate and out of Lamethion.

However, just as they left the city and reached the outskirts, something strange happened.

"Boom!"

Accompanied by an earth-shattering roar, a violent explosion occurred in front of them, causing the explosive wind to spread out like a shockwave, striking in all directions.

Baylon and the others who had rushed out of the city did not even have time to react, and were directly affected by the shockwave.

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

"Lord Leon!"

Caught off guard, Lumia, Merica, and Eudilis were blown away by the shockwave, causing them to cry out in alarm.

The others were the same. They seemed as if they'd encountered a sudden typhoon, and they cried out repeatedly in alarm. Some of them were even blown to the point they swayed from side to side and almost fell to the ground.

No, Leon and Margray had already fallen to the ground, one covered in dust, the other screaming in pain. Those who did not know better would have thought that they had been treated inhumanely.

"…!"

Only Baylon, a level-68 knight, reflexively unsheathed the longsword at his waist and held it in front of him. Vivian immediately unsheathed her shield and placed it in front of Lumia and Merica, blocking the incoming shockwave for them. Tierre was even more decisive. With a flash of her sharp blade, the shockwave was sliced apart, turning into a gentle breeze that dissipated.

"Be careful!"

Apart from the three of them, the only one who could react to the sudden shockwave was Arliss. He pressed down on the shoulders of his teammates, bracing against the wind and stabilizing everyone.

Under such circumstances, an unknown amount of time passed before the shockwave gradually dissipated.

Only then did everyone see the scene in front of them clearly, and one after another, they were all dumbfounded.

On the plains in front of them, a shocking scene was imprinted in everyone's eyes.

Over there, what should have been an ordinary plain had turned into a scorched land. Not only was everything scorched black, but there were also huge pits in the ground. It was extremely terrifying.

And in front of this shocking scene, there was a young man with a long bundle on his shoulder, holding something in his hand.

"Hmm? Why are you guys here? "

As if surprised, the young man turned his head as if he had heard the commotion behind him. While speaking in a surprised tone, for some reason, there was a hint of a smile in his eyes.

"Shien …"

Vivian could not help but murmur his name.

It was Shien who had suddenly disappeared.

Looking at Shien standing in front of the shocking scene, the group of knights and adventurers finally reacted, and a commotion broke out.

"What … What's going on?"

"Oh god …"

"How did it become like this?"

"So scary …"

The knights and adventurers all began to talk in panic.

Not to mention the ordinary knights and adventurers, even Leon, Arlis, Margray, and Eudilis felt their hearts racing because of the scene in front of them.

Tierre couldn't help but mutter under her breath.

"What is this man planning to do now?"

Obviously, Tierre was starting to have a headache.

Even Tierre was in such a state, not to mention Lucia and Merica. They looked at each other, trembling with fear.

Baylon was also trembling with fear.

It was not that he was timid, but the scene in front of him was indeed a little frightening, and he almost thought that the Old Demons had sent people to attack ahead of time.

However, Shien looked refreshed and even a little happy, and Baylon could not help but speak.

"What are you doing here?"

Baylon's tone was a little interrogative.

It had to be said that it was indeed very dignified, and it also brought a great sense of oppression to others.

However, not only did Shien not feel afraid, but he even scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Sorry, sorry for scaring you. I'm just experimenting with a new magic tool. I'm really sorry if I scared you all."

Shien said.

"Experimenting with a new magic tool?"

Everyone's attention was immediately attracted by Shien's words, especially Vivian and Tierre.

It was especially so for Vivian and Tierre, who were staring at Sean in astonishment.

Shien ignored them as if he really felt embarrassed. He scratched his head and laughed.

"You all should know, right? Last time, it was all thanks to the powerful magical tools that I was able to take down the person from the Old Demons Faction in a sneak attack. So, since then, I've been a little interested in powerful magical tools. "

Shien's words attracted many people's attention, especially Baylon, who seemed to have only just realized Shien's existence.

"So you're the newbie adventurer who subdued Killian and was valued by President Lily?" Baylon said in a daze, as if she had just realized Shien's existence.

"That's right, that's right." Shien said with a smile, "I'm really sorry to have disturbed you all."

Although that was what he said, Shien's face did not show the slightest bit of embarrassment.

However, the crowd could no longer care about that.

Because everyone's attention had been completely attracted by Shien's words just now.

"You said you were experimenting with a new magic tool here, right?" Baylon glanced at the horrifying scene of scorched earth in front of her. Her eyes moved, and she looked at Shien. She said in a deep voice, "Could it be that everything here was caused by your experiments with magic tools?"

"Well, that's what happened." Shien admitted it openly and said, "The magic tool that I used on Killian was really too powerful. It left a deep impression on me. I really couldn't help but want to recreate that tool, so I asked someone to help me make it. Although the result was a little unsatisfactory, it was barely acceptable."

Hearing that, there was only one sentence in everyone's mind.

That was, if this was barely satisfactory, what kind of Magical Equipment could be considered satisfactory?

But gradually, they realized what Shien meant, and their eyes lit up.

For example, Lyon.

For example, Margray.

And Baylon.

Among them, Margray was the most impatient, and directly asked loudly.

"Hey, do you mean that you have that kind of powerful magic tool again?"

This question was met with an unhesitant answer from Shien.

"Of course." Shien raised his head and said proudly, "And there's a lot of them."

Suddenly, everyone's eyes lit up.

That kind of look was called greed.
