Chapter 194: 193 Shane wants the effect
In theory, upon the throne, there should only be one person, the King.
Even if there were more than just the King, the others would merely accompany him at his side, but the only one who would truly be seated is still the King.
However, in this world, it is different.
Because in this world, divine authority reigns above royal authority.
Thus, in any country, it is possible for positions other than the King’s to appear above the throne.
Now, seated upon the throne here, there are three individuals.
Firstly, seated at the central position of royalty is the King — Ansefurg Mitra.
The King watched Shane as he slowly advanced, exuding an astounding aura, his gaze continually shifting.
Then, sitting to the left of the central royal position was an elder with white hair dressed in the garb of a Divine Practitioner.
He is the head of the Temple, the Divine Race’s representative in the Human Realm and also the manager of all the temples and divine practitioners of the entire Human Realm. His status was no less than that of a King — Yule.
Yule also watched Shane, feeling the aura emanating from him, his face showing a trace of surprise.
Finally,
seated to the right of the central royal position was a very young-looking member of the Demon Clan.
He was one of the direct subordinates under the Dragon Demon, a high-ranked member of the Upper-level Demon Clan, whose status was only below the Six Great Demons. The magical power fluctuations he emitted were immensely powerful, second only to Shane and Luoqi in the entire Royal Hall — Jiasinta.

This high-ranking member of the Demon Clan also watched Shane, displaying an intriguing emotion in his eyes.
Ansefurg, Yule, Jiasinta — these three individuals were those seated upon the throne, unoppressed by Shane’s aura, just like Luoqi and Aridia, which proved their strength.
Of course, there were others who felt oppressed yet did not lose composure like the rest.
For instance, among the Guard Knight Order, some individuals surged with magical power, resisting the oppressive aura.
For instance, among the Nobles, there were also some with notable strength, resisting the oppression affecting them.
And for instance, a noblewoman standing closest to the throne, next to Aridia, slightly resembling Luoqi, though not as stunningly beautiful, was equally captivating and curiously observing Shane.
Shane’s initial display of power caused chaos throughout the entire Royal Hall, resulting in varied expressions on everyone’s faces.
It was not until Shane arrived in front of the throne that the overwhelming aura covering the Royal Hall was suddenly withdrawn by him.
“Your Majesty.”
Shane thus, as if nothing had happened, offered a Knight’s salute to Ansefurg, just as he had been taught by Luoqi on the way here.
Originally, Luoqi had taught Shane a subject’s salute, which required kneeling on one knee, but Shane had refused without hesitation, finally opting to offer a Knight’s salute instead.
However, Shane was not a Knight, and only Guard Knights should offer a Knight’s salute in front of the throne. Other Knights would still need to perform a subject’s salute before the King.
Therefore, for an Adventurer like Shane to perform a Knight’s salute in front of the throne, it could likely be seen as disrespectful.
Had it not been for the recent display of intimidation.
Now, after that display of intimidation, the people around were still looking at Shane in utter fear, not even having reacted yet, their faces numb.
“Good!” Ansefurg said, looking at this scene, not displeased but rather comforted. “It seems our Human Race has produced yet another exceptional individual!”
Ansefurg thus expressed his appreciation for Shane.
Yule and Jiasinta said nothing, only watching Shane, silently observing him.
In this circumstance, Luoqi quietly left Shane’s side, going towards Aridia, standing with the noblewoman who resembled her, while the people around only then began to react, hastily standing up and straightening themselves, their faces pale and embarrassed, their gazes towards Shane now mixed with anger and annoyance, yet also with a newfound fear.
This was the effect Shane had desired.
Knowing that today’s audience would pose many problems, he had informed everyone in the most direct manner possible—if they wanted trouble with him, they should weigh their options first.
Luoqi had seen Shane’s intent and hence had not stopped him.
After all, this would make many nobles reconsider the wisdom of offending Shane, significantly reducing potential troubles.
Was it for this reason that Anxi had offered his praise?
Thus, Anxi looked around and began to speak.
“I assume everyone here is aware that today’s audience features this adventurer as our protagonist.”
Anxi’s voice resounded loudly.
“Alone, he subdued one of the masterminds behind the massive assassination attempt ten years ago, Killian.”
“He also encountered and successfully annihilated an incoming group from the Old Demon Clan Faction during the escort of Killian, which included another mastermind of the incident from ten years ago, Beddo.”
“He is a rising star of the Human Race and has contributed greatly to our Kingdom.”
“Now, let us hear in detail about how all this transpired.”
With these words, Anxi summoned several individuals.
“Leader of the Third Knight Order, Beren Mura.”
“Adventurer from Lamijion City in Marquis Mula’s Domain, Vivian.”
“Adventurer from the same city, Alis.”
“And, Leon.”
Anxi called out these four names.
“”””Your Majesty!””””
Vivian, Beren, Alis, and Leon immediately knelt on one knee, offering the gesture of a subject to the king.
“You are the ones directly involved,” Anxi looked at them and spoke gently, “I hope to learn the exact details of the entire matter from you. Would that be alright?”
None of the four dared to say no.
Thereupon, Beren took the initiative to reply.
“Then I, Beren Mura, shall explain to Your Majesty.”
With that, Beren began to narrate the details of the entire incident with a fervent voice.
The origin was Laischa’s arrival, which led the Old Demon Clan Faction to come to Lamijion and infiltrate the town.
Afterward, during Killian’s search for Laischa, he came into contact with Shane and was subdued by him, leading to this escort mission.
Then came the disturbances along the way, along with the attacks from the Old Demon Clan Faction, and Shane’s counterattacks.
Beren clearly recounted the entire course of events, including the matters concerning Shane’s “Magic Tools,” without any concealment.
This made Shane glance sidelong at Beren.
He had thought Beren might exaggerate his own role and diminish Shane’s presence in an attempt to claim more credit, but surprisingly, Beren narrated the exact occurrences without any personal bias, without exaggeration or deviation, exceedingly fair.
As Beren spoke, the nobles present exchanged glances, sinking into silence.
Clearly, they were pondering over something.
