Chapter 286 Open the Light
On the other side of the screen, Li Chengxi pulled his hand out and just left the Red Bull can there, too lazy to pick it up.

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

That's why Li Chengxi asked Aidas at that time whether the priests could still use divine magic after the gods were shot down to the earth.

However, I didn't expect that the dwarf had sneaked in as well.

After all, the dwarves gave Li Chengxi a feeling of being honest and loyal, and he felt that the tieflings were more suspicious.

This is simply judging people by their appearance.

But then again, the guy who sent these two people obviously didn't want Olde 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 did not turn hostile, instead they behaved like ordinary adventurers. It was not until the last moment that they really fought.

This point is actually worth further exploration.

A room storing a large number of golems can prevent space teleportation. Orday noticed this, and Li Chengxi also saw it by right-clicking to check the properties, but Orday did not say it. How did the two adventurers who didn't even enter the door know that it was safest to take action here?
Naturally, there is only one possibility, that the people behind them told them in advance where they would be most confident of taking action.

It was no secret that Viola was in the Leon territory, and it was no secret that the navy of the Tandron Demon Kingdom was attacked by an unknown force. The people who were manipulating all this behind the scenes naturally knew it.

And Oldie was not only Viola's cousin, but she also did not hide the fact that she had run to the Leon territory from anyone.

It was not a spur-of-the-moment decision for Orday to come to the ruins to look for the Demon King's Ring. Although she did not tell Li Chengxi, she had posted the commission to recruit adventurer guards a week in advance.

It would be normal for a historian in an academic city to issue such a commission, but Aldee excels in materials and potions, and the research materials she needs can basically be found in the academic city. If the materials are really hard to find, she can just issue a commission to adventurers, and there is no need to hire a bodyguard to go there in person.

Combining all this information together, the person who controls everything behind the scenes would naturally suspect whether Orday was planning to look for the Demon King's Ring.

If there is a threat, it must be eliminated. But Alde 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 has no intention of coming to the front.

So they did not act immediately, but instead sent people to infiltrate the recruiting team and wait for the right opportunity to take action.

He died in the ruins, and the specific cause of death can be made up at will. It won’t be long before the Academic City forgets about Alde.

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

The other party did not expect this, so it should not be considered a mistake. Perhaps they have not yet received the news that the Demon God has returned, or they are still not sure.

After all, the Leon territory is now blockaded by land and sea. If outsiders come, they will be easily discovered, and they have very few means of obtaining intelligence.

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

The question now is how to take advantage of this...

Li Chengxi felt that more information was needed.

The 648th year of the Demon King Calendar.

September 6th, one o'clock in the morning.

Viola was having a sweet dream in her bed. If an outsider saw her, they would doubt that such a person with such a bad sleeping posture could be a princess.

"Your Highness! Your Highness the Princess!"

There was a knock on the door from Zora, the captain of the Royal Guards. Viola immediately woke up from her deep sleep and her first reaction was to get the sword beside the bed.

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

She yawned, picked up the shawl and covered herself with it, then went to open the door in her pajamas.

"Zora? What happened?"

"Miss Olday just came back!" "Olday?"

Viola got a headache when she mentioned her.

"What does she want to do so late at night?"

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

"My uncle is here too?"

When the capital of the Demon Kingdom of Avarus was breached, Orday happened to be at home. Due to the urgency of the situation, she could only use teleportation to return to the Academic City with her father, Grand Duke Weiss, and several servants. Grand Duke Weiss has stayed there ever since.

When Viola heard that it was her relatives who came, she immediately became much more sober.

"Come on, take me there."

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 brought Viola to the large living room on the second floor of the castle, where the most eye-catching thing was a buzzing portal that emitted a blue and white light.

An old man who looked to be in his sixties was standing next to the portal. He might have been sent here suddenly as well, and he was still wearing pajamas.

"uncle!"

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

"Viola, I'm glad to see you're safe."

When the Grand Duke was young, he had made great contributions to the kingdom. Not only was he excellent in domestic affairs, he was also a brave general who could wield a sword and mount a horse.

But it was precisely because of the Avarus royal family's habit of taking action when something happened that the Grand Duke was injured many times.

It wasn't obvious when he was young, and now that he's old, his health is really not that good, but he still keeps clamoring to come back with Viola to restore the country.

The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and just at that moment, Oldie came out of the portal. She was even pulling a cart filled with various books.

"Viola, are you awake? Good, help me move these books over here."

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

Viola pointed to the bewildered tiefling Nemia on the other side of the portal.

"And who is she?"

"This is a long story, and time is running out..."

"Don't fool me!"

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

"Who on earth have you messed with?"

"I told you, it's hard to explain in a few words, and time is tight now. Oh, yes, Nimya has received the blessing of the Demon King God, you can treat her as your own."

After saying that, Alde went back into the portal and went to pack up the books at home.

Viola looked to Nimia, hoping she could give an explanation.

But the tiefling, who had been living on the streets since he was a child, had never seen a princess before, and he was trembling like a sieve...

I'm scared.
