Chapter 286: Open the Light

On the other side of the screen, Li Chengxi pulled his hand out, and as for the Red Bull can, he just left it there, too lazy to take it again.

When he noticed that Alde ran to get the Demon King's Ring, Li Chengxi clicked on everyone's character attributes. Perrin, who claimed to be a follower of the Lord of Dawn, was actually a follower of the Painful Girl, and was exposed from the beginning.

So at that time, Li Chengxi asked Aidas whether the priest could still use divine arts after the gods were shot down to the earth.

But the dwarf actually lurked in, which was totally unexpected.

After all, the dwarf gave Li Chengxi a feeling of loyalty and honesty, and he felt that Tieflin was more suspicious.

This is simply judging people by appearance.

But then again, the guy who sent these two people obviously didn't want Alde to get the Demon King's Ring, and this guy even knew about the seal.

Along the way, the two had opportunities to fight, but they didn't turn against each other, but behaved like ordinary adventurers. It wasn't until the last moment that they really took action.

This point is actually worth digging deeper.

A room storing a large number of golems can prevent space teleportation. Aoerdai saw this, and Li Chengxi also saw it by right-clicking to check the properties, but Aoerdai didn't say it. How did the two adventurers who didn't even enter the door know that it was the safest place to take action?

Naturally, there is only one possibility. The people behind them told them in advance where they would be most confident to take action.

Viola's presence in the Leon territory is no secret, and the fact that the Tandron Demon Kingdom Navy was attacked by an unknown force is no secret either. The people who manipulated all this behind the scenes naturally know it.

And Aoerdai is not only Viola's cousin, but she also did not hide her running to the Leon territory from anyone.

Aoerdai came to the ruins to find the Demon King's Ring. This was not a sudden idea. Although she didn't tell Li Chengxi, she posted the commission to recruit adventurers to guard a week in advance.

It would be normal for a historian in the Academic City to issue such a commission, but Orday is good at materials and potions, and the research materials needed can basically be found in the Academic City. If it is really hard to find materials, just issue a commission to adventurers, and there is no need to hire a bodyguard to go in person.

Putting all this information together, the person who controls everything behind the scenes will naturally suspect whether Orday is planning to find the Demon King's Ring.

There is a threat, and it must be eliminated. But Orday is not only a high-level wizard, but also very prestigious in the Academic City. Choosing to take action in the Academic City will have a huge impact.

This also shows that this guy or this organization hopes to continue to lurk and does not intend to come to the front.

So they did not act immediately, but sent people to lurk in the recruiting team and wait for the right time to act.

Died in the ruins, the specific cause of death can be made up at will, and it won't take long for the Academic City to forget about Orday.

Li Chengxi guessed that this was roughly the case, but the other party obviously did not expect that the golem of the old demon king god would directly rebel after Orday took out Li Chengxi's holy emblem.

The other party did not expect this, which should not be considered a mistake. Maybe they have not received the news that the Demon King has returned, or they are still unsure.

After all, the Leon territory is now blocked by land and water. If outsiders come, it is easy to be discovered. They have very few means to obtain intelligence.

This is an advantage. The enemy is not clear about the specific situation of the Leon territory for the time being, but this advantage cannot be maintained indefinitely.

The question now is how to use this advantage...

Li Chengxi feels that more intelligence is needed.

Demon King Calendar 648.

September 6, 1 a.m.

Viola is dreaming in her bed. If outsiders see it, they will doubt that such a bad sleeping guy is actually a princess.

"Your Highness! Princess!"

There was a knock on the door from the head of the Guard Knights, Zora, and Viola immediately woke up from her deep sleep. The first reaction was to take the sword placed beside the bed.

This was a completely instinctive reaction. Viola's mind was still confused, and it took two seconds to hear the voice clearly.

She yawned, took the shawl to cover herself, and went to open the door in her pajamas.

"Zora? What happened?"

"Miss Olde just came back!"

"Olde?"

Viola felt a headache when she mentioned her.

"What does she want to do in the middle of the night?"

"I don't know, but she brought back Grand Duke Weiss."

"My uncle is here too?"

When the capital of the Avarus Demon Kingdom was breached, Olde was at home. Because of the emergency, she could only take her father, Grand Duke Weiss, and several servants back to the Academic City by teleportation. Grand Duke Weiss has stayed there since then.

When she heard that her relatives were coming, Viola immediately sobered up a lot.

"Come on, take me."

Olde often used the portal between the Leon Territory and the Academic City, but this was the first time she brought Grand Duke Weiss with her. After all, the Leon Territory was not as safe as the Academic City.

Viola felt that something might have happened, so she had to go over and take a look.

Zora took Viola to the large living room on the second floor of the castle. The most conspicuous thing here was a teleportation portal that was buzzing and emitting blue and white light.

An old man who looked to be nearly 60 years old stood next to the teleportation portal. He might have been sent here suddenly, and he was still wearing pajamas.

"Uncle!"

Grand Duke Weiss was not in a good mood, but he showed undisguised joy when he saw Viola.

"Viola, I'm glad to see you are safe and sound."

When the Grand Duke was young, he had made great contributions to the kingdom. He was not only good at internal affairs, but also a brave general who could carry a sword and mount a horse.

But it was also because of the habit of the Avarus royal family that he would really go to the trouble, and the Grand Duke was injured a lot.

It was not obvious when he was young, but now he is old and his health is not very good, but he still shouts that he wants to come back with Viola to restore the country.

The two exchanged a few words, and at this time, Olde came out of the portal. She even pulled a cart full of various books.

"Viola, are you awakened? It's great, help me move these books over."

"I want to know more about what you are doing..."

Viola pointed to the helpless Tieflin Nimia on the other side of the portal.

"Also, who is she?"

"It's a long story, time is running out..."

"Don't fool me!"

"Well, in short, I might be targeted by someone, and the academic city is not safe, so I plan to stay with you for a while. The tiefling is called Nimya, an adventurer I met recently, and she might also be targeted, so I want to recommend her to join your reconnaissance team to stay out of the spotlight for a while."

"Who did you mess with?"

"I told you, it's hard to explain in a few words, time is running out. Oh, yes, Nimya has been blessed by the Demon King, you can treat her as your own."

After that, Oldie went back to the portal and went to pack up the books at home.

Viola looked at Nimya, hoping she could give an explanation.

But the tiefling who had been living on the streets since childhood had never seen a princess, and he was trembling at the time...

He was scared.
