Chapter 1550: A big name?
If Evelina's identity is confirmed, she is an old monster who has lived from one hundred and twenty years ago to the present.
Then it wouldn't matter even if Kil'jaeden told him everything he knew.
After all, in the Holy Land, strength is respected.
As long as your strength can be improved, your status will follow.
Once your status is raised, your authority to know everything will also be increased accordingly.
Naturally, it is logical to understand Kil'jaeden's purpose in coming to the Horde.
But Evelina's identity cannot be fully confirmed yet.
I really have to say it in advance...
This undoubtedly put all possible risks on Kil'jaeden.
If only there was another high-level demon around now,
That way, he would at least have another partner to share the risk with, or simply let the other party take the blame!
"Why are not you talking?"
Evelina's urging voice came from inside the carriage, forcibly interrupting Kil'jaeden's thoughts.
The latter's "uh" sound became louder, and after a moment, he responded ambiguously:
"Uh, hehe... I didn't expect that after a hundred and twenty years of isolation, you two would still be so understanding of the current situation..."
"Usually, the appearance of mid-level or high-level monsters in marginal areas does mean that new discoveries have been made in the surrounding area..."
"By the way, do you two still remember the battle when Hanenor defeated the previous Demon King and ascended the throne?"
"Hey, that fight was so satisfying..."
"It's a pity that I wasn't born yet and didn't get to see it with my own eyes..."
"So what was discovered in this endless forest?" Evelina's voice came from the carriage again, interrupting Kil'jaeden's narration very decisively.
After finishing the job, he added threateningly:
"Just focus on the main points and don't waste time on it."
"Uh..." Kil'jaeden was forced to draw out the words again.
During this process, he could clearly feel the hairs on his back starting to stand on end.
The succubus was almost out of patience.
In order not to anger the other party, Kil'jaeden could only steel his resolve and reveal the truth:
"A relic was discovered."
"What ruins?" Evelina asked immediately without giving Kil'jaeden any time to think.
"I don't know." Kil'jaeden shook his head.
Not that he was lying.
But this relic was discovered not long ago.
As soon as his superior demon, Prince Sargeras, obtained development rights from the Demon Lord, he sent him here to investigate.
He himself didn't even know what the ruins were, so how could he tell the other party?
"We need to arrange for an in-depth investigation to find out what kind of ruins they are." Kil'jaeden added hastily, as if worried that Evelina might misunderstand him.
"These shouldn't be told to outsiders... After all, my High Demon Prince Sargeras has obtained the exclusive rights to develop this ruin."
"Haha, and there are exclusive development rights?" This time, the voice coming from the car was no longer that of a female succubus, but a deep male voice:
"Hasn't our Holy Land, since its inception, always pursued the supremacy of strength and the respect of the strong?"
"Why are you making up such troublesome rules after not seeing you for a hundred and twenty years?"
"Is it possible that the current Sanctuary and the current Demon Prince are no longer able to defend their power with their fists?"
"Uh, no..." Kil'jaeden explained anxiously:
"Because too many demons are defending their power with their fists, the number of mid- and high-level demons in the Sanctuary has always been small, so the Demon King Hamernor issued this order."
"The goal is to solve the problems we encounter in daily life with the least amount of bloodshed and death."
"But we are demons." The questioning voices continued to emanate from the carriage, with obvious mockery and disappointment.
"Demons are supposed to grow stronger through blood and slaughter!"
"Although Hanenor's actions did maintain the stability of the Sanctuary to a certain extent, I cannot agree with this approach of neglecting the main goal for the sake of the minor."
Sweat began to form on Kil'jaeden's forehead.
The more I listened to these words, the more they sounded like something that would be uttered by an old demon who was obsessed with improving his strength and was extremely fanatical about killing and fighting.
How dare you question the order given by the Demon King Hanenor...
The backgrounds of these two people are probably not insignificant.
Could it be that if the two of them were sealed off for one hundred and twenty years, the entire sanctuary would be peaceful for one hundred and twenty years?
Now that they've both come out, doesn't that mean the Sanctuary is about to...
Thinking of this, Kil'jaeden didn't dare to think about it any further.
I’m afraid that if I think too much, I will inspire the other person.
"Speaking of which rising stars in the Holy Land are favored by the Holy Lord?" Evelina spoke up and changed the subject.
Upon hearing this, Kil'jaeden thought to himself that the other party had finally asked something he could answer. He breathed a sigh of relief and began to recall seriously.
however,
Before he could say his name,
The man's deep voice was heard again in the carriage:
"Among those rising stars favored by the Holy Lord, is there one named Qin?"
Qin?
Kil'jaeden was stunned for a moment, and his brain began to recall rapidly.
After a long time, he still couldn't find the demon named among the pile of names.
A small person?
Nobody?
"Um... Is this Qin you're talking about the Demon Prince?" Kil'jaeden asked uncertainly.
"I thought about it, and it seems that this person is not among the rising stars favored by the Holy Lord..."
"Heh... I don't know if he is the Demon Prince either." Lu Li chuckled and said in a pretentious manner:
"I only know that he might cause quite a stir in the Sanctuary in the future."
"This..." Kil'jaeden combined this statement with the previous text, digested it briefly, and slowly came to a shocking conclusion.
First ask the Demon King about his situation.
I would like to ask if there are any rising stars that have been favored by the Holy Lord recently.
Finally, it ends with "Qin might cause quite a stir in the Holy Land in the future."
This Qin...
Could this be the upcoming challenger for the Demon King's throne?!
Or……
Is he simply the next Demon King?
More sweat broke out on Kil'jaeden's forehead.
He was immersed in tension, and suddenly remembered a small problem that had come up before -
How did Evelina and that El'Doron know his name was Kil'jaeden?
He remembered it very clearly, but he clearly did not introduce himself to the other party at all!
Could it be that these two people have the ability to read minds?
Or...
"Gentlemen, I'd like to ask you a question." Thinking of this, Kil'jaeden decided not to speculate any further.
"Can your talents or other means predict the future?"
There was silence in the car and no one responded.
The only sounds at the scene were the heavy breathing of the two-headed demon rhino and the clanging sound of the bumpy carriage.
