Fortunately, he had killed her.
But where was the Branch of Rejuvenation now?
As Shien pondered this, he returned to the original question.
“So, you couldn’t find your horn?”
Shien asked regretfully.
If Diere’s horn was truly lost, it would be a great loss for her, right?
After all, it was very likely the only way for her to control her Unique Skill.
If it couldn’t be found, it would be a great loss.
However, as Shien felt regretful, Diere shook her head.
“The original horn is indeed gone, but I did gain something.”
“Gained something?” Shien was stunned.
“Don’t worry about it,” Diere said after a moment of thought, “I’m still confirming it. I’ll tell you after I’m sure.”
Diere seemed uncertain about something.
“Alright,” Shien nodded, “If there’s any problem, tell me immediately. This time, I won’t allow you to act recklessly on your own.”
Hearing this, Diere looked up at Shien’s serious expression, then nodded firmly after a while, showing her understanding.
At this time, Leisha spoke again.
“Compared to this, there’s a more troublesome matter to deal with, right?” Leisha said, resting her chin on her hand, looking at Shien with a smirk, “Don’t forget, your identity has been completely exposed.”
Her gloating look made Shien want to punch her.
But before he could, Lasha also spoke.
“The Demon Race’s recent movements are concerning,” Lasha said calmly, “If Master Shien plans to go out, please be careful.”
“I know,” Shien curled his lip, seemingly unconcerned.
However, Shien took these words to heart.
Now that his identity was exposed, he had to pay attention to the Demon Race’s movements.
“I wonder how that dragon girl who returned to the Demon Realm is doing now.”
Shien sighed.
With his identity exposed, if the Demon Race took any action, that little girl would probably also do something, right?
He wondered what she would do.
Shien couldn’t help but recall the passionate kiss they shared on the roof of the treehouse on his last night in the Elven Homeland.
Thinking of this, Shien missed that dragon girl.
“It hasn’t even been a few days since we parted…”
Shien smiled wryly.
It hadn’t even been a few days, and that girl probably wouldn’t have thought that his identity would be exposed so soon after she left.
Life was truly unpredictable.
“I’ll deal with the Demon Race later,” Shien said, “Now, I want to go to the Imperial Palace.”
According to Lasha, the situation at the Imperial Palace didn’t seem very good.
Especially Harvis, whose current condition was terrible, making Capeline very worried.
Shien wanted to go there and see.
As the “hosts,” perhaps they might have discovered something after cleaning up the battlefield.
Diere didn’t object, remaining silent.
Leisha also didn’t seem very concerned, glancing at Shien, then at Lasha, seemingly lost in thought.
Lilith clung to Shien, unwilling to leave. After some coaxing, she was finally taken by Lasha.
So, Shien left the Bigusler residence and headed towards the Imperial Palace.
“Hmm?”
As Shien Buztout left the Bigusler residence, he noticed something was amiss.
No, not just the surroundings, but the entire Imperial Capital.
Looking around, he saw that except for the Bigusler residence and a few other major noble houses, most buildings were damaged.
Some had collapsed halfway, some had corners missing, and some were completely reduced to rubble, making the entire noble district look like a construction site.
People were working around these buildings, using magic to repair and renovate them, creating a bustling atmosphere of post-disaster reconstruction.
This wasn’t strange.
What was strange was the occasional sweeps of magic power in the air.
