Chapter 209: At Worst, I Can Find Me

There is an unidentified person or organization who can make countries with hatred towards each other temporarily give up their hatred, and unite the four countries to launch an attack, so that the other two demon kingdoms will watch quietly.

This person or organization is so awesome.

Viola not only has to face the invading army composed of the four-nation coalition, but also has to dig out this powerful person or organization.

"Any clues?"

"From common sense, a person or organization with such power and prestige does not exist, but the facts are before us, and we have to acknowledge his existence."

Alde said:
"So I think, since it's unlikely based on common sense, let's change our thinking and look for clues from the legend."

"legend?"

"And it's also the legend of the Demon God."

These two sentences confused Li Chengxi, so Aldee immediately explained;
"According to legend, the plane we live in was created by the Demon King, and we, the demons, are also creations of the Demon King. Other mortal races and creatures such as animals and monsters were all relocated from other planes."

It's roughly like how Orde traveled to Earth, except for the demons, all other races are travelers.

"At that time, the supreme Demon King God ruled over all demons, and there were seven special demons called apostles who were responsible for assisting the Demon King God in his rule. Later, something seemed to go wrong among the apostles, and they stole the Demon King Ring of the Demon King God. After that, the Demon King God fell into a deep sleep. The apostles also gradually disappeared in the following time, and the era of mortals taking control of their own destiny finally came."

"Does this have anything to do with what I just said?"

"Viola and I are both high-ranking demons. Brother Li, have you ever thought about why there are high-ranking and low-ranking demons?"

Li Chengxi had never really thought about these questions. He thought they were just simple game settings.

"According to our academic city's research, all the existing high-level demons were once descendants of apostles. Of course, high-level demons are not limited to the royal family. There are too many of them. However, the royal families of the seven demon kingdoms are all high-level demons. This is really a strange coincidence."

"Hasn't it been these royal families that have been ruling ever since the Demon King disappeared?"

"Of course not. Our Avarus Demon Kingdom was established only over 400 years ago, which is thousands of years away from the mythological era. During this period, the same land has experienced hundreds of changes in royal power."

In other words, no matter how they change, the rulers are always high-level demons, and they are even the same group of people in terms of kinship.

This is certainly not normal. It’s just like in China, starting from Qin Shihuang, no matter how the dynasties changed, they were all members of Ying Zheng’s family.

"What's more concerning is that there will always only be seven Demon Kingdoms on this continent."

"When there is no more or less?"

"It has existed in historical records, but its existence was very short. From a historical perspective, it can be almost ignored. Most of the time, there were only seven demon kingdoms."

"Seven Demon Kingdoms correspond to seven apostles... It doesn't sound like a coincidence."

"I carefully recalled and studied what happened in Avarus before the four countries launched the war. The only thing that I think might have been the fuse of the war was that my uncle, Viola's father, once ordered the court magician to study the treasures passed down from generation to generation in the Avarus royal family."

Ordai pointed at the Ring of Power on Li Chengxi's finger:

"It's this ring. It was sealed at the time, wrapped in a metal sphere." Considering the legend just mentioned...

"You mean, someone was watching all this from behind and discovered that the Avarus Demon Kingdom was researching the Demon King's Ring, so they united the four nations to destroy the Avarus Demon Kingdom?"

"To be precise, they were afraid that studying the Demon King's Ring would lead to the reappearance of the Demon King God. In fact, you did reappear at this time."

I remember that it was mentioned in the initial plot introduction that when Viola escaped from the capital, she took with her a treasure passed down from generation to generation in the royal family of Avarus. Legend has it that it can contact the Demon God.

And this treasure is the Ring of Power that Li Chengxi is now wearing on his finger.

"According to legend, the seven apostles disappeared after stealing the Demon King's Ring. There is no trace of them anymore, and the whereabouts of the ten Demon King's Rings are also unknown. But according to my guess, the seven apostles just hid their identities. Among their bloodlines, some people are ruling the country as royal families, while another group of more hidden people are controlling all the Demon Kingdoms behind the scenes and strictly monitoring to prevent the Demon King from reappearing."

Li Chengxi originally thought that the magic script was just a plot of "Princess Revenge", but he didn't expect that there were so many secrets hidden in it.

The main purpose of Alday's visit this time was actually to say these words to Li Chengxi, and helping the Ninth Department was just a side job.

This is an organization or individual that has been secretly controlling all countries on the entire continent for thousands of years since the disappearance of the Demon King. It is possible that Alday is not the only one who feels that something is wrong, but they were all discovered and killed in advance by this organization or individual.

This is undoubtedly a very dangerous secret.

"I haven't mentioned this to Viola yet. For now, only you and I know about it. No third person will be aware of it."

As if she could see Li Chengxi's worry, Aldea pointed to the red cross on the map and changed the subject:
"This is what I discovered. It may be the location of the Demon King's Ring, but due to the danger, I can't go alone. There may be a trap inside, and there may be someone nearby who is controlling everything behind the scenes."

"You'd better not go there. And don't look around for information on the location of the Demon King's Ring. It feels very dangerous."

Li Chengxi looked at the location of the Demon King's Ring. It seemed to be in a territory called the Tandron Demon Kingdom, which was quite far away from the Leon territory.

"At least don't get involved in this matter until Viola regains her kingdom, so as not to cause trouble."

Having one more Demon King's Ring actually doesn't mean much to Li Chengxi. After all, he is always in the mindset of playing a game.

Compared to a Demon King's Ring, the NPC you like is more important, especially now that the enemy is in the dark and you are in the light, you must not act rashly.

"Brother Li, as a god, please stop interfering so rudely."

Of course, Oldie was well aware of Li Chengxi's warnings, and she reminded Li Chengxi in return:

"Although the Demon King God is the creator of our plane, he can directly and significantly interfere with the mortal world. But this world is not just our plane, nor is there just one god. I heard that some churches in the Academic City have made some unusual movements, and the oracles seem to be issued more frequently recently. I don't know the specific situation, but I guess it may be related to your rude interference in the mortal world during this period."

"You're not going to come and cause trouble for me, are you?"

"I can't say for sure. I don't know much about theology, but it's always better to be careful."

That is indeed true, but Li Chengxi did not take it too seriously.

After all, even if you are not satisfied, can you still come to my convenience store and confront me?
