Chapter 97

"Are … are you telling the truth?"

At this moment, ignoring Baylon and Leon, Margret couldn't hold it in any longer and spoke up.

"Of course!" Shien did not seem to notice the thoughts of Margray and the others. He said carelessly, "Although Killian was the mastermind of the large-scale assassination ten years ago, he was only one of them. I heard that there was another person called Dodo who was the mastermind of the incident. He was also the highest level, and he killed many more people than Killian. Even the plan itself seemed to have been planned by him. If he appeared to rescue Killian and brought along the rest of the Old Demons Faction, then killing them all in one fell swoop, this merit …"

Even if Shien did not say it, everyone understood what he meant.

If that was the case, then the merit would definitely be much greater than capturing Killian.

If even a single Killian could bring so many benefits, what would happen if there was an even greater contribution?

(Will I be conferred a noble?)

Leon's heart was burning with passion.

(Will I be valued by the royal family, and be promoted along with my family?)

Margray could not help but feel excited.

(Will my father's trading company gain more benefits, and even get the royal family to bestow marriage on my behalf, and become Lord Leon's wife?)

Eudillis's imagination also began to run wild.

As for Baylon, she could not help but feel the same way.

(Originally, the other knight commanders, vassals, and vassal noble families were quite dissatisfied with me becoming a knight commander in the territory before I even reached level 70. They used this reason to give me trouble more than once, causing me to be unable to gain the recognition of most of the public, except for Ramaegion. If I can successfully reap the credit this time, they will have nothing to say. I might even be able to replace my eldest brother as the heir of the Murau family in the future, becoming the next Marquis Murau.)

Thinking of this, Baylon could not help but feel tempted.

Only Arliss raised an objection at this time.

"Has President Lily agreed to this matter?" Arliss frowned and said bluntly to Shien, "Are you sure you can succeed? Don't harm Ramiro when the time comes! "

Arliss's words brought everyone back to reality.

It was not just Arliss, even Vivian could not help but interject.

"Bedo is stronger than Killian and the Demons that are still in Ramiro. Even if we can subdue Killian, we might not be able to subdue Bedo. If we fail, Ramiro will have to bear the consequences. The risk is too great."

Vivian did not know what Shien was planning, so she used this method to remind him, just in case Shien really decided to take action.

"Don't worry, don't worry." Sean did not care at all, and said, "There's nothing that a magical tool can't solve. If there's one, then two!"

This extremely arrogant statement left everyone speechless.

But that was the truth.

Unlike Killian, this time, there were not only two magic tools that could be used, but they had been mass-produced.

In that case, if one disregarded the losses and used a large number of such magic tools, not to mention the demons that were harder to deal with than the level-77 demons, even the level-90 super experts would be in trouble, wouldn't they?

In other words … it could work!

Everyone could not sit still anymore.

"You are Shien, right?" Baylon finally spoke. She looked at Shien and said, "Thank you for your hard work. In that case, this matter …"

Let me support you on this matter.

Baylon intended to say this.

From Baylon's point of view, since they could wait for the Old Demons to fall into their trap and catch them all in one fell swoop, there was no need for them to carry out any secret missions. They could just wait here and finish them off in one fell swoop. That way, they would be able to earn more and more merits.

But at this moment, Shien changed the topic and interrupted Baylon.

"Speaking of which, I haven't thanked everyone yet." Shien seemed to be extremely grateful to everyone. "In order to 'help me' escort Killian to the Royal City, you have mobilized so many people. I am really sorry."

As soon as this was said, everyone, including Baylon, was stunned.

"Help you?"

Baylon, Leon, Margray, Eudilis, and Arliss were all puzzled.

What did this mean?

Everyone was puzzled.

But in the next second, Shien's words made everyone's expression change.

And it was unprecedented.

Because …

"Although I successfully subdued Killian with the help of magic tools, I think the Kingdom will not be stingy to reward me for subduing such a heavyweight criminal and escorting him to the Royal City, right? Just thinking about it makes me look forward to it! "

Shien's excited words made everyone's heart skip a beat. They finally realized that things were bad.

That's right!

The one who subdued Killian was Shien, not them!

In other words, Shien was the real hero, and they were just a little bit involved!

It was not that everyone had forgotten about this, but usually, in a territory, if someone made a great contribution, then unless it was something that could shock the whole Kingdom and bring great contribution to the Kingdom, the reward system was usually implemented in the form of class.

For example, if a commoner accidentally discovered a relic that was so valuable that even the Kingdom could not ignore it, then he would not be directly rewarded by the Kingdom, but by the nobles in the territory who got the news.

Then, after the noble rewarded the commoner, he would report this matter to the lord of the territory. The lord would regard it as the noble's contribution and reward him instead of directly rewarding the commoner.

Then, the Lord would also report this to the Kingdom, and the Kingdom would also see it as the noble's contribution and reward the Lord.

This was the so-called class reward system.

After all, a commoner could not directly contact the Royal Family and report this matter, right?

That was why even in the previous world, the rewards would be given out one by one. When it came to the person directly involved, there was no telling how many levels of difference there were, and who knew if the original reward would retain the same value.

It was the same for Sean. As a new level-10 adventurer, the manager of Ramigion would reward him for his contribution. He did not have the right or the means to get in touch with the royal family and receive a reward directly from the royal family.

Because of this, Baylon thought that she only needed to reward Shien after the matter was over, and he could then receive the reward directly from the Kingdom.

But now, the situation had changed.

Shien looked at everyone's expression, and the smile on his face grew wider.

Didn't you want to fight for the credit?

Then you won't get to fight for it!

That was Shien's goal.
