Chapter 973

The discussion about the Demon King ended without anyone knowing how to proceed.

After that, Naduna put away all the stone slabs left behind by the Demon King and asked Sophie to keep them for her. She also instructed her not to let anyone see the contents on them.

She was not only worried that people who were not strong enough would have abnormalities because of the power on the stone slabs, but she was also worried that the records on them would cause confusion among the people.

The true side of the Demon King was completely different from what the world knew. This side was also full of all kinds of mysteries, and it was very likely to subvert the history of the Omnippertansen, so it could not be easily known by others.

If the contents on the stone slabs were to spread and people knew that those records were left behind by the Demon King, it might set off a new storm in the world.

The current situation was chaotic enough, and Naduna definitely did not want to continue adding any more risks and uncertainties in such a situation.

Naturally, everyone had no objections and agreed with Naduna's way of handling it.

Of course, Shien himself did not think much of it, but he did not say anything, let alone object.

He really wanted to know about the Demon King's past and figure out the unknown truth.

But whether or not the truth should be spread was another matter.

Shien was not in the mood to care about other aspects at the moment. He was only thinking about what he had to do.

Therefore, after the interpretation of the stone slabs was completed and Sophie put them away, Shien left the hall of the Queen's Palace with La Xia, You Lin, and Lilith.

Naduna and the others still wanted to discuss something with Shien, but Shien ignored them for the time being.

He was now wholeheartedly focused on the Demon King, so he was not as concerned about the direction of the war as Naduna and the others were. Therefore, he did not really want to discuss the war with Naduna and the others.

Therefore, Shien directly left with the people around him.

However, Shien and the others did not leave the Queen's Palace.

"Although I would like to arrange suitable accommodation for you, as you can see, the Elven Homeland is still being rebuilt, and the problem of the people's accommodation has only just been resolved. There is no spare capacity to solve the problem of the visitors' accommodation, so you can stay here for the time being."

Sophie said this to Shien and the others before they left, and arranged for someone to bring Shien and the others to their rooms in the Queen's Palace.

Sophie said that Merica would also live here in the future, but she did not know if she needed it.

Although Merica's residence in the Elven Homeland had not been restored, Genom's residence had been restored. Thus, as a childhood friend, it was very normal for Merica to live with Genom.

Shien did not specifically ask Merica to live with them. As long as she was happy, she could live wherever she wanted in her homeland. Merica was not Demon Country.

That being said, there was still a small portion of the elves who were fortunate enough to escape the fate of destruction in the last war and stayed.

Among them, there was a nostalgic place.

"Phew …"

Late at night, Shien soaked in the steaming hot spring, and exhaled contentedly as he sighed with emotion.

"Fortunately, at least the hot spring has been preserved."

That's right, Shien had used it in the Elven Homeland, where he once met Lide and Milu, and where he and the elven girl Merica had their first deep and simple conversation, using the sky as a blanket and the ground as a bed. Fortunately, the hot spring had been preserved.

This was the only thing that Shien was satisfied with after returning to the Elven Homeland.

"Coming here, if I didn't have this hot spring, I would feel like I'm missing something."

Shien leaned on the edge of the hot spring, his hands on both sides of the shore, enjoying it while closing his eyes, feeling very comfortable.

It was only at this time that Sean's slightly heavy and thoughtful heart could relax.

This made Shien realize that he might have been bearing too many things recently.

Danas' ultimate goal.

The true face of the Demon King.

The truth of the past.

And … the precious jade in his body.

Recently, he seemed to have been constantly thinking and running around because of these things.

Under such circumstances, he seemed to have unknowingly accumulated a lot of fatigue.

Realizing this, Shien couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Well, I've indeed been a little too stubborn these days."

I'm a little indifferent to other things, and I just want to pursue the truth of the Demon King. Am I a little obsessed?

But there's no other way.

Recalling the scene of the demon girl crying in his dream, Sean wanted to know what that girl had experienced to embark on the path of absolute evil that was regarded by the world as absolutely evil.

Shien had a feeling that this matter was very important to him.

Very important.

This was by no means a trivial matter that had nothing to do with him, but something related to his future, his past, and everything about him.

Of course, Shien trusted his feelings very much.

With the blessings of the Supreme God, Shien had long sensed countless omens due to inexplicable revelations and intuition, and every time it was so accurate, without a single miss.

It would definitely be the same this time.

This time, it would definitely not be an inexplicable feeling.

'I must find the truth' — this was the action of his whole body and every cell.

Therefore …

"No matter what, I can't just sit back and watch the Demon King's matter."

Thinking of this, Shien was no longer in the mood to continue taking a bath.

He now had an inexplicable impulse.

"I want to go to that place and have a look …"

With this thought in mind, Shien directly stood up from the water.

Without drying his body, Shien put on his clothes, and then with a few teleportations, he returned to the Queen's Palace.

He did not return to his own room, but went directly to the Elf Queen Sophie's room. Without saying a word, he suddenly teleported in.

As soon as he teleported in, Shien immediately spoke.

"Sophie, I want to ask you …"

Before he could finish his sentence, Shien fell silent.

"… Huh?"

In the room, Sophie was holding a piece of clothing in her hand and was about to put it on. Seeing the sudden appearance of Shien, she was stunned.

The most beautiful Elf Queen of the elves, at this moment, appeared in front of Shien in an extremely inappropriate posture.

In other words, he was completely naked.

"…"

Shien was silent.

"…"

Sophie's face was stiff, her whole body was frozen there, unable to move.

A subtle atmosphere began to permeate between the two, and there was also an awkward silence.

"Cough cough …"

After a long time, Shien coughed dryly and asked Sophie.

"I want to ask you, the relic from which you got the stone slab, roughly where it is?"

Shien stated his purpose of coming.

Sophie did not speak. She just stiffened her body, moved her fingers, and pointed in a trembling direction.

"Over there, is it?" Shien nodded calmly, and said as if nothing had happened, "Got it, I'll go and have a look. If anyone asks, tell them not to worry about me."

After that, Shien glanced at Sophie's body without anyone noticing, and then raised his hand.

"Then, I'll go, you continue with your work."

Leaving such words, Shien turned around and disappeared.

"…"

Sophie was still silent, looking at the direction where Shien left. After a long time, her face turned red.

"… I can't get married."

The mosquito-like murmur expressed the complicated feelings of the most beautiful Elf Queen of the Elf Clan in a single sentence.

But, you will not get married in the first place, Your Majesty.

Poor Her Majesty who has been single for thousands of years, a woman who kept her chastity like jade, and even the former Hero Mithra could not get, was seen naked by Shien just like that. She could not recover from this blow for a long time.

…

On the other side, Shien appeared in the corner of the Queen's Palace.

"Damn, I was too careless …"

Shien touched his nose, feeling as if he had received a great shock.

He had to declare that he definitely did not do it on purpose.

But he would not say that he was innocent.

Because, no matter how he looked at it, it was his fault for barging in without knocking, right?

"As expected, I'm still a male protagonist. Only the male protagonists in novels would encounter this standard plot of meeting a beautiful woman changing clothes without knocking on the door."

Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that he had seen a lot of nude bodies today?

The Elf Queen Sophie's …

The young girls of the Elf Division …

Also, the night before he set off here, apart from the familiar Tierre's mistress and Merica, his disobedient mount was naked, and he was lucky enough to see it …

Thinking about it this way, Shien suddenly realized that he had been really full of all kinds of benefits these two days.

On top of that, when he was called to the Divine Realm by that goddess, he also saw the 2D girl transformation show of his dreams. Shien always felt as if he had used up all the luck of his life in these few days.

"I hope that I won't be overjoyed and end up with a chopper …"

Shien continued to touch his nose.

It couldn't be helped. The weather was hot, and his nose was itchy. He always felt a little hot.

"Come to think of it, this Queen is also very secretive …"

Shien silently updated the ranking in his heart.

The original ranking was: Chafine > Ai Yi > Rosie = Nion = Yulin > Merica > Tierre.

The current ranking was: Chafine > Sophie > Ai Yi > Rosie = Nion = Yulin > Merica > Tierre.

Yes, Sophie was in second place, only behind the unrivaled beauty of the world, the succubus.

Even Ai Yi was slightly inferior. This, as the LSP, Shien could absolutely guarantee.

Although it was only a visual result, the information stored in the LSP's brain was definitely more reliable than anything else.

Of course, not only had Shien seen the inappropriate side of these people, he had also seen many other beautiful girls. However, the ones that left the deepest impression were undoubtedly these few. Thus, he would not enter the ranking for now.

When he had the chance in the future, he would seriously rank the ranking.

After making such a grand ambition, Shien turned his head and looked in a direction.

"It's over there, right?"

He had unearthed the ruins of the stone slab that recorded the Demon King's records.

That ruin was very likely the former residence of the Demon King.

It was there that the Demon King had been meeting with the important "her". For this reason, he had left his power there, making it impossible for a goddess like Nadura to enter.

Shien wanted to go there and take a look.

"Perhaps I can find some other clues."

Since he had nothing to do, Shien decided to go there and take a look.

However …

"Can you take me with you?"

When Shien was about to leave, he suddenly heard a voice.

Shien was slightly startled. He turned his head and looked at the source of the voice.

"La Xia?"

Shien said in surprise.

The one who came was La Xia.
