Chapter 1669 The Prince's Suspicion!
"I'm not entirely sure, but during the time I was there, I certainly didn't see a scene like this again."
Lu Li responded with a cryptic statement.
Every word is guaranteed to be authentic, with absolutely no falsehoods mixed in.
Kil'jaeden could also sense this 'sincerity' through the contract, and his curiosity grew even stronger:
"No need for sacrificial rites... Could it be that in the future, the Holy Land will have a more efficient way to communicate with the Holy Lord?"
"Wait, could it be that a Chosen One has been born?!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Li's mind raced, and numerous guesses instantly surfaced in his head.
But on the surface, he remained calm and collected, shaking his head slightly, making him unfathomable.
"What does shaking your head mean? Does it mean no Chosen One has been born, or is it not what I guessed at all?" Kil'jaeden was full of doubt, his heart itching like a kitten scratching.
One reason he stayed by Lu Li and Evelyna's side was that the two had explored the divine ruins, which became intertwined with his mission and he could no longer separate himself from them;
Another reason was that Kil'jaeden was eager to know what would happen in the future and wanted to know the information the two of them possessed.
"I ask you, what is the purpose of holding this sacrificial ceremony?" Lu Li asked in return as he slowly lowered the flying carpet.
His seemingly unfathomable demeanor suggested he was deliberately testing Kil'jaeden.
But in fact,
He genuinely didn't know why these demons wanted to hold a ritual.
Just to chat with the demon god?
Pull it down!
Demons are creatures who highly value strength. If there's no benefit to be gained, who would bother chatting with a demon god?
Is this some kind of empty sentimentality?
The purpose of holding the sacrifice was probably to please the demon god.
Is it not enough to simply perform actions commensurate with the authority of a demon god?
Why would we need such a complicated process as sacrificial rituals?
It can't be the traditional culture of the game, can it?
"The purpose of holding sacrificial ceremonies is to communicate with the Holy Lord so as to know his further instructions on the development of the Holy Land."
Kil'jaeden tentatively said:
"Powerful adults can learn about the events in advance through the rituals, make adjustments accordingly, and seize more benefits."
"For example, Demon King Hanenor learned about several powerful ruins from a priest, and made corresponding preparations in advance. After completing the exploration, his strength increased rapidly in a very short period of time..."
Although the tone was not very certain, Lu Li could sense through the contract that the other party was not lying.
He nodded and said:
"good."
“In the future of the Sanctuary, this channel of obtaining information in advance will be replaced by another form, so I guess that’s why the sacrificial rituals were canceled.”
"Another form? Didn't it actually give birth to the Chosen Ones?" Kil'jaeden's expression of doubt deepened as he repeatedly pressed for an answer.
"As far as I know, no Chosen One has been born." Lu Li shook his head again.
"The new form of obtaining information has become..."
The flying carpet was now close to the ground, and many monsters noticed someone landing and cast curious glances at it.
As if to prevent the news from leaking, Lu Li deliberately kept quiet at the crucial moment and stopped speaking.
Such a violent abrupt ending, while not concerning to other monsters who were unaware of the preceding events, didn't seem to bother them too much.
But this made Kil'jaeden, who was eagerly anticipating what would happen next, very anxious.
It was clear that the surrounding Mordorians dared not press the matter, and could only continue to inquire through telepathic communication.
But why would Lu Li easily reveal information to Kil'jaeden that might be of great value and that he himself was not quite sure about?
After giving a perfunctory reply, he adopted the posture of "going to report the situation of the ruins to Prince Sargeras first," and headed towards the council hall.
Seeing this, Kil'jaeden could only hold back and quicken his pace to follow.
Although Lu Li and Evelina's faces were making their first appearance in the Demon Realm, the demons found them unfamiliar.
But with Kil'jaeden by their side, no one dared to come looking for trouble.
The three of them quickly entered the council hall, which was the center of the great altar covered with pillars.
In a side room filled with demonic energy, Lu Li finally met the combination of the cuckold and the traitor Cao Cao, the demon prince Sargeras.
He is a one-eyed thunder demon.
Unlike the kind of hot-tempered guy that Lu Li remembered, who wielded thunder, whose body was surrounded by arcs of electricity, and who was blessed by arrogance or rage.
Sargeras exudes an elegant air from head to toe, reminiscent of a medieval nobleman.
After listening to Kil'jaeden's report on the ruins, his slightly angry gaze quickly fell on Lu Li and Evelynn beside him, and he silently began to scrutinize them.
"An empty shell of a ruin? Kil'jaeden, do you think I've become a bloated idiot after being in such a high position for so long?"
"If it were just an empty shell of a ruin, you should have come to report to me ten cycles ago!"
"How could it have dragged on until now?"
“Your Highness, even if I, Kil’jaeden, wanted to deceive you, I would have to have the guts!” Kil’jaeden bowed his head, his whole being exuding an urgency that came from being wronged.
Her slightly trembling body and trembling voice made Lu Li, who was temporarily observing the situation, marvel.
Kil'jaeden's acting is really good!
They're almost as good as him, the movie star!
"At first, I also thought there was something mysterious about those ruins, so I spent a full ten cycles arranging for those lowly Gobelins to prepare for the exploration."
"But when we went inside, it was empty!"
"Aside from stones, there are only inexplicable reliefs, and not even a moving guardian of the ruins."
"I was afraid that if I came over to inform you immediately, there might be some oversights, so I checked it three times carefully."
"After discovering that it was indeed an empty shell of a ruin, I rushed over to report it..."
"So, not only can I not blame you, but I should also praise you for your meticulousness?" Sargeras slowly stood up, a dangerous glint in his single yellow-green eye.
"No, no, this is all I should do. It is Kil'jaeden's blessing to serve His Highness the Prince..." Kil'jaeden seemed to sense something, and bent his back at an even greater angle, making his already humble appearance even more humble.
"And what about the other two?" Sargeras suddenly steered the conversation towards Lu Li and Evelina:
"I remember you were the only one in charge of exploring the ruins, right?"
"Don't tell me that one of these two high-level demons is a demon prince who received the blessing of the Lustful Saint Lord and is a variant from the Goberin tribe."
At this point, Sargeras gave Evelyna a meaningful glance.
The succubus lady was currently wringing her hands in front of her, looking quite awkward.
It wasn't just that Lu Li instructed her to behave this way so that Sargeras would lower his guard;
Furthermore, because they were used to eating snacks, they didn't know where to put their hands when they suddenly stopped.
