Chapter 58: 057 The Appearance of an Uninvited Guest

Chapter 58: 057 The Appearance of an Uninvited Guest Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Approximately an hour later, Shane returned to Lamijion, reentering the town. As he walked down the street, his expression seemed somewhat guilty. People were passing by in groups of two or three, engaging in conversations like, “Haven’t the Knight Order and the adventurer’s guild figured out what caused that phenomenon yet?”@@@@ “They’ve been back for so long.” ... “The way they looked all panicked when they returned, it must have been something serious, right?” “Could it be that the Demon Clan is up to something?” “Don’t say that, even the Demon Clan maintains a peaceful relationship with our Human Race and the Divine Race now. Although some problematic individuals have caused issues, many of the Demon Clan’s leaders are working tirelessly for peace among the Three Clans, so it’s better not to reject the Demon Clan without reason.” “That’s true, but who else besides the Demon Clan could make such a commotion?” “Maybe those troublesome children in the Demon Clan caused another headache.” “Or perhaps it was just a simple natural phenomenon?” “But then the Knight Order and adventurer’s guild wouldn’t be so panicked, would they?” “This is really concerning.” Similar conversations continuously reached Shane’s ears, forcing him to lower his head, hunching his shoulders like a suspicious character not wanting to be seen. If the patrolling soldiers in the town saw him, they might question him. In fact, Shane had already been questioned by the gatekeeper upon entering the town. “You’re the adventurer returning from that direction, right?” “Yes.” “Did you see any strange phenomena?” “Wh... what do you mean by strange phenomena?” “Strange earthquakes and loud noises, if you saw anything, please tell us. This is what the higher-ups are requesting. We hope adventurers like you can help us figure out the cause of the phenomenon.” “Is... is that so?” “Yes, so did you see anything unusual?” “.... No.” “Spare me.” Shane could barely imagine it. “Hmm?” At this moment, Shane suddenly returned to his senses, turning toward a direction in surprise. Because with the Magic Perception skill, which Shane had already mastered and leveled to 10, an utterly astounding reaction suddenly emerged. “What a strong magic power.” This level of magic power wasn’t something humans could possess. “Is there such a powerful person in Lamijion?” Shane focused on that direction. He could sense a being with immense magic power was approaching here. Then, before long, the individual appeared. It was a tall, thin man with long limbs, draped in a cape, and with a very effeminate face. The man walked slowly, expressionless, his eyes not resting on anyone, nor on anything, as if nothing around him was worth his notice. The attitude was not one of arrogance or disdain but of loathing. Yes. The man behaved as if he loathed everything here, or rather, he loathed everything about this world to the extent he refused even a glance at the surroundings. Such a man passed by Shane. Eventually, he stopped. “Is it you?” The man looked at Shane, his pupils so dark they didn’t even reflect Shane’s figure, as if he were talking not to a person, but to a bipedal animal. Shane squinted his eyes without uttering a word. The man didn’t seem to mind, coldly regarded Shane, and then took out a parchment from his clothing. On the parchment, a human figure was drawn. Taking one glance at the person in the picture, Shane’s pupils contracted. “You’ve seen this person, haven’t you?” The man asked coldly. That picture indeed depicted someone Shane was familiar with.
