Chapter 533 General Gestures
Having connections really saves trouble. Ivan has a good relationship with the military in Academic City.
This is mainly because Ivan's father, who has a hag in front of him, is the military consul of Academic City, and the entire army of Academic City is under his control.
The eldest lady has already spoken. Is it a big deal to send a carriage out?
So Aldai and the others drove the carriage all the way out of the academic city, and turned onto the field path without slowing down, quickly disappearing from the sight of the mercenaries.
Even though I escaped, I still couldn't relax. The longer it was delayed, the worse it would be.
The three of them did not stop, but immediately turned towards the mountains on the east side of the academic city, where the Demon King's Ring was.
At this time, Aldai had time to think about what had just happened.
There is a person or an organization behind the scenes that controls the change of kingship in the entire continent. In the past, Aldai was only vaguely aware of this, but there was no evidence.
But now it seems that this organization or individual not only exists, but its power is far greater than expected.
Not to mention anything else, there was no problem when Aldai first teleported to Academic City. After only a few minutes, when he wanted to teleport out again, he immediately found that the pass had been canceled and could no longer be used.
You know, because of her academic contributions, Aldee has a high status in the academic city although she has no real power. And there are only a few people in the entire academic city who have the ability to cancel her pass within a few minutes.
To put it more clearly, only the top management in Academic City have this ability.
It is unclear whether it was done by several people or one or two people. At least it is certain that the other party is so powerful that it can reach out into a completely neutral academic city. This is even more difficult than infiltrating the palaces of various countries.
As for the Wild Bear Mercenary Group, it is difficult to say whether they are directly controlled by that organization, or whether they are simply looking for white gloves because they do not want to be exposed. The power of this organization or individual has exceeded that of any political entity.
This means that Viola's situation is actually very dangerous.
The allied forces of the four countries suddenly attacked the Demon Kingdom of Avarus because Avarus was studying how to open the seal of the Demon King's Ring. The people behind it were afraid of bringing back the Demon King God, so they immediately united the four countries to launch an attack.
The most direct evidence is the blocking magic circle used by the Four Nations Allied Forces. Although it cannot completely block the interference of the Demon King, it is not something that can be created with just a slap on the head. They must have prepared these in advance and expected them. Used in worst case scenario.
But thinking on the bright side, since this group of people are so afraid of the Demon King and God, it is enough to do the opposite. The stronger the Demon King and God are, the more beneficial it is to Viola.
Aldai felt more and more that she was bound to get the Demon King's Ring.
As for being ambushed, this is not surprising at all.
After all, the information about the Demon King's Ring comes from Teresa, the White Hand Association, and the White Hand Association doesn't care who the customer is. They sell information on the front foot and the customer's information on the back foot. There is no psychological burden on them.
Aldai thought about it with her duodenum, and she knew that the White Hand Association must have sold the information that "Teresa sent information to Aldai". The other party must have weighed Aldai's possible location and prepared it in advance. Set up an ambush.
It's just that the white gloves they were looking for were not very capable, and Ivan suddenly came out to help before they were halfway there, otherwise it would be really difficult to escape from the academic city.
In that case, it's time for Li Chengqi to take action. How much loss will be caused to Academic City by then...
Anyway, Li Chengqi definitely doesn't care.
–‐‐——–‐‐——
Even after escaping from the academic city, the three of them did not slow down. The horse pulling the carriage was blessed by Aldai's magic throughout the journey. If the horse was not strong enough, they would directly feed the horse a physical elixir to forcefully overdraw its physical strength.
The result was that after running wildly for almost two hours, the horse was so exhausted that he fell to the ground frothing at the mouth and thrashed. If it could talk, it would definitely say, "I'm not a human, but you are real dogs."
There was no way to sit in the carriage, but fortunately, the mercenaries were completely thrown away by running all the way, and the distance was greatly shortened.
In the villa before, Aldai's secret eye that illegally connected to the academic city confirmed the terrain mentioned in the intelligence. However, because he was kicked in immediately, he only glanced at it and could not be teleported at all. Otherwise, he would also use Don't let Ma suffer such a heavy punishment.
After nearly two hours of running, they were not far from their destination. What they had to do now was to climb up the sloping hillside through the dense vegetation on the hillside.
From Aldai's current location, walking southeast, you can reach the ancient ruins where Ivan has been busy recently. Many of the things Aldai learned about the Demon King and the Mythical Age were dug from this ruins. came out.
But I really didn’t expect that there would be a Demon King’s Ring just a few kilometers away from the archaeological site.
You can't say this to Ivan, otherwise she will risk her life to follow him. The Demon King's Ring is of great importance, and it is really not appropriate to make extraneous matters, especially if Ivan, like Aldai, has a very fucked up research spirit. It can be expected that once Ivan sees the Demon King's Ring, it won't be long before Ivan announces the research results at a seminar in the academic city. That will make the matter even more complicated. Organizations will also bury themselves deeper.
Putting aside what happened next, Aldai and the three of them climbed up the hillside little by little, and they had to be careful not to be discovered along the way.
It's easy to focus on one thing and lose sight of the other when multitasking, but fortunately, Li Chengqi is watching over them.
Compared with the martial arts script where the perspective can only follow Yang Yiyi, here, Li Chengqi can look wherever he wants as long as the map is opened. He can even urinate against the computer screen to create mudslides and rush away any possible enemies. Come on, Aldai and the others are blessed by God in a literal sense.
- It's just kind of disgusting to do that.
The other party must have known about Aldai's escape from the academic city, so the closer they got to the destination, the more cautious the three of them were, thinking that the enemy would be waiting at the destination, waiting for a wave of attacks.
But when the three of them finally climbed up the hillside and arrived at a relatively flat clearing on the mountain range, which was also their destination, they saw no one.
This is one of the few places on the mountain range that is not covered by vegetation. There are only bare stones. If there are people nearby, it can be said that it is clear at a glance.
Before getting closer, Aldai also cast a detection spell such as detecting invisibility to confirm that no one was really squatting nearby.
This is not a good thing, because if you don't squat at the door, you might be waiting for her to deliver the goods inside the ruins.
And speaking of the ruins of the Demon King's Ring...
At least there are no traces of any ruins on the surface.
After all, it is very close to Academic City. If there were any ruins such as a group of buildings, they would have been dug up by the archaeologists of Academic City.
The three of them walked out of the woods and came to this clearing. Aldai took out the wiring diagram Theresa gave her and looked at it.
"Over here."
The three of them came to a large flat boulder lying on the ground. On the surface, there was nothing wrong with the stone. But as Aldai reached out and touched it, a huge golden magic circle appeared on the stone and released The fierce arc of electricity repels Aldai's touch.
"A very strong seal. This must have been set recently."
After all, Aldai has already taken away a Demon King's Ring. It would be strange if the organization hiding in the dark is not ready yet.
Zora and Nemea didn't understand magic, so they heard this and asked:
"Can you untie it?"
"It is possible, but it will take a lot of time. There is no cover here. It is estimated that the group of mercenaries will chase after the seal before it is released."
Having said this, Aldai raised her head and waved to the sky. This action was not like a spell-casting gesture.
Neemia said curiously:
"Professor, what are you waving at?"
"I'm asking the Demon King and God Lord for help."
Are you sure it's that simple?
To ask God for help, there must be a sacrificial ceremony or something, right?
Then Nemea saw a huge palm emerging from the air. It was much smaller than the huge palm that could easily knock away thousands of soldiers, but it was at least close to ten meters high.
It directly pierced the golden magic circle with its raised fingers. In the fierce electric light, the golden magic circle shattered into countless light spots with a click.
I just don’t know why, but the raised finger on this hand is the middle finger, not the index finger most commonly used by ordinary people...
