Chapter 286 Turn on the light
On the other side of the screen, Li Chengqi took out his hand. As for the can of Red Bull, he just threw it there, too lazy to take it again.
When he noticed Aldai running to get the Demon King's Ring, Li Chengqi clicked on everyone's character attributes. Palin, who claimed to be a follower of the Lord of the Dawn, was actually a follower of the Maid of Pain, which was exposed from the beginning. .
That's why Li Chengqi asked Idas if the priest could still use magic after the gods were shot down to the earth.
But the dwarf actually lurked in, which was completely unexpected.
After all, dwarves gave Li Chengqi a sense of loyalty and honesty, but he felt that tieflings were even more suspicious.
This is simply judging people by their appearance.
But having said that, the guy who sent these two people obviously didn't want Aldai to get the Demon King's Ring, and he even knew about the seal.
The two of them also had opportunities to take action along the way, but they did not fall out. Instead, they behaved like ordinary adventurers. They didn't really take action until the last minute.
This is actually worth digging into.
The room where a large number of golems are stored can prevent space teleportation. Aldai saw this, and Li Chengqi also saw it by right-clicking to check the properties, but Aldai did not say it. The two adventurers who did not even enter the door, How did you know that it was the safest place to start?
Of course there is only one possibility. The people behind them told them in advance where they would be most confident to take action.
Viola's affairs in the Leon Territory are no longer a secret, nor is the fact that the navy of the Demonic Kingdom of Tandelon was attacked by unknown forces. The people behind all this are naturally aware of it.
And Aldai is not only Viola's cousin, her running into Leon's territory is also not hidden from anyone.
Aldai came to the ruins to look for the Demon King's Ring. This was not an impromptu move. Although she did not tell Li Chengqi, she had already submitted the request to recruit adventurer guards a week in advance.
It would be normal for a historian in an academic city to issue such a request, but Aldai is good at materials and potions. The research materials needed can basically be found in the academic city. For materials that are really hard to find, adventurers can just send a request. Just go, there is no need to hire a bodyguard to go there in person.
Putting all this information together, the person behind everything would naturally doubt whether Aldai was planning to find the Demon King's Ring.
If there is a threat, it must be eliminated. But Aldai is not only a high-level mage, but also very prestigious in the academic city. Choosing to start in an 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 stage.
Therefore, they did not take action immediately, but sent people to lurk among the recruiting teams, waiting for the right time to take action.
If you die in the ruins, you can make up the specific cause of death at will. It won't be long before the academic city forgets Aldai.
Li Chengqi guessed that the process was roughly like this, but the other party obviously did not expect that the golem of the old devil king would rebel directly after Aldai took out Li Chengqi's holy symbol.
The other party did not expect this, so it should not be considered a mistake. Maybe they have not received the news that the Demon King God has returned, or they are not sure yet.
After all, Leon's territory is now blocked by water and land. If outsiders come, they will be easily discovered. Their means of obtaining intelligence are very rare.
This is an advantage. The enemy does not know 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 Chengqi felt that more information was needed.

Year 648 of the Demon King's Calendar.
September 6th, one o'clock in the morning.
Viola was having a sweet dream in her bed. If outsiders saw her, they would doubt that the guy who was sleeping so badly was actually a princess.
"Your Highness! Your Highness the Princess!"
There was a knock on the door by Zora, the captain of the Guards Knights. Viola immediately woke up from her sleep and her first reaction was to get the sword placed 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 to cover herself, and went to open the door in her pajamas.
"Zola? What happened?"
"Miss Aldai came back just now!" "Aldai?"
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 Archduke Weiss."
"My uncle is here too?"
When the capital of the Demonic Kingdom of Avarus was breached, Aldai happened to be at home. Due to the emergency, she could only bring her father, Grand Duke Weiss, and several servants back to the academic city using teleportation. After that, Grand Duke Weiss Has stayed there.
As soon as she heard that her relatives were coming, Viola immediately sobered up a lot.
"Come on, take me there."
Aldai often uses the portal between the Leon Territory and the Academic City, but this is the first time she brought Grand Duke Weiss with her. After all, the Leon Territory is still not as safe as the Academic City.
Viola felt that something might have happened, so she had to go over and take a look.
Zola took Viola to the large living room on the second floor of the castle. The most conspicuous thing here was a buzzing portal that emitted blue-white aura.
An old man who looked to be in his sixties was standing next to the portal. He might have been sent here suddenly, and he was still wearing pajamas.
"uncle!"
Grand Duke Weiss was not in good spirits, but he still showed undisguised joy when he saw Viola.
"Viola, it's great to see you are safe and sound."
The Grand Duke once made great contributions to the kingdom when he was young. Not only was he excellent in domestic affairs, he was also a fierce general who could carry a sword and mount a horse.
But precisely because of the Avarus royal family's habit of getting into trouble, the Grand Duke was often injured.
It wasn't obvious when he was young. Now that he's older and his health is really not that good, he still clamors all day long to come back to the country with Viola.
The two exchanged some pleasantries, and just then Aldai came out of the portal. She even pulled a cart filled with various books.
"Viola, have you been woken up? Just in time, help me move these books over."
"I want to know more what on earth you are doing..."
Viola pointed to the helpless Tieflinymia on the other side of the portal.
"Also, who is she?"
"This is a bit long to say, and time is running out now..."
"Don't fool me!"
"Okay, in short, I may have been targeted by someone. Academic City is not very safe, so I plan to stay with you for a while. That tiefling is called Nemea, who I met recently. Adventurer, she may also be targeted, so I would like to recommend her to join your reconnaissance team to avoid the limelight for the time being."
"Who did you mess with?"
"I said it, but I can't explain it clearly. Time is tight now. Oh yes, Nemea is protected by the Demon King God. You can treat her as one of your own."
After that, Aldai went back to the portal and went to pack the books at home.
Viola looked at Neemia, hoping she could give an explanation.
But Tiefling, who has been living on the street since he was a child, has never seen the princess. At that time, he was shaking like chaff...
I'm scared.
