What exactly is Chapter 1713 trying to do?
"I understand," Aura replied, bowing to Lu Li in gratitude.
"Thank you for your generous gift, Your Highness."
"Since Your Highness is so interested, let's set off immediately."
"Lead the way," Lu Li said as he rose from the throne.
Evelyn, who had been leaning against the wall and had Scarlett O'Hara's resemblance, immediately followed.
Neither of them paid any attention to the corpses on the ground, as if they didn't exist at all.
The three of them left on their own.
Kil'jaeden stood there dumbfounded, staring blankly at the two corpses not far away, unsure of what to do.
Until a message pops up on the data panel—
"Turn the corpse into a puppet and take it to another ruin. I'll take Aura there later."
A big question mark appeared above Kil'jaeden's head.
What exactly is Li Yun trying to do?
The other end.
Led by Aura, Lu Li and Evelina soon arrived at the unexplored ruins on the border of the Great Wilderness.
The entrance is located below a raised mound, where a ring of dwarf demons has already settled.
Sensing someone approaching, the noisy temporary camp immediately fell silent.
After briefly introducing Prince Sargeras and the demon prince Scarlett to the dwarf demons in one sentence, Aura directly asked Lu Li:
"Your Highness, are you and Prince Scarlett planning to begin the exploration directly?"
"No, I just came to take a look first," Lu Li replied without changing his expression, his large, single eye filled with satisfaction.
"As long as we can confirm that the ruins are located in the Great Wilderness and not in the Endless Forest, that's enough."
Upon hearing this, Aura frowned again.
He thought he had vaguely guessed Prince Sargeras's intentions.
But now it seems that the reality is not at all what he imagined?
Is it worth sacrificing two incredibly precious golden scarabs just to catch a glimpse of the ruins on the border of the Great Wilderness ahead of time?
They weren't even in a hurry to begin exploring...
What's the point?
If we don't come to see it, will the ruins grow wings and fly away on their own?
This extremely abnormal behavior is like a suspicious mother opening a door for a suspicious person—it's suspicious to the extreme!
However, despite the doubts...
Aura still dared not overstep her bounds, and used her mental power to scan the Prince Sargeras beside her.
Fearing that he might guess wrong and anger a prince-level demon, thus suffering the fate of death and annihilation.
He simply remained silent, letting the important figure beside him do as he pleased.
"Alright, we've seen all the ruins here now. Since you're free anyway, Aura, come with me one more time."
Lu Lixin withdrew his gaze with satisfaction, then turned to Aura and said:
"I also need to go to the Endless Forest to see the ruins that Kil'jaeden is in charge of."
Are we also going to accompany them to the endless forest?
Aura narrowed her eyes, her brows furrowing even more.
What exactly is Sargeras up to?
He, Aura, is a servant of the Demon King, Hanornor, not a lackey of Prince Sargeras.
Moreover, the ruins in the Endless Forest were not under Aura's responsibility.
Why are they making arrangements for someone to accompany you?
Aura felt it necessary to express her doubts.
Asking directly might offend the other party, so I can only hint and use indirect language:
"Your Highness, you know the rules."
"The Demon King has completely entrusted you with the right to explore the ruins over the Endless Forest."
"Therefore, apart from you, your squires, and those low-level monsters used as consumables, no one else is allowed to approach the ruins."
"Even with my permission, it's still not allowed?" Lu Li glanced at the respectful Aura and raised his voice slightly.
“This…” Aura felt the chill gradually spreading in the air and didn’t know how to answer for a moment.
However, Lu Li didn't wait for her reply and continued speaking on his own:
"Kil'jaeden said that the ruins are just an empty shell."
"That's why I want you to come with me and be a witness."
"Afterwards, at least I can give an explanation to the Demon King."
"An empty shell of a ruin? There's nothing inside?" Aura was taken aback, muttering unconsciously.
"No way, I remember the power of the rules at the entrance to that ruin was very strong..."
"Is there something wrong?"
"That's why I need you to come with me to take a look." Lu Li, wearing Sargeras's face, smiled in a rather eerie way.
Seeing that things had gone this far, Aura had no choice but to agree.
The three of them then hurried off to the Endless Forest.
Because of the long distance, a short-distance teleportation array was used once.
On the way to the ruins, Lu Li would occasionally open the data panel to perform some operations and send out a few messages.
Although Aura was curious, she didn't dare to ask any more questions.
After about half of the active period, the three finally arrived at the edge of the Endless Forest.
After making a temporary stop at the Goberin tribe, they plunged into the forest and quickly headed towards the ruins, following the previous path.
Before long, the huge tree stump reappeared.
Kil'jaeden stood guard at the entrance as instructed by Lu Li. Upon seeing the three approaching, he immediately feigned panic and went to greet them.
"Your Highness, you've finally arrived!"
"Where are Li Yun and Evelynn?" Lu Li looked around, pretending to be looking for someone, and asked Kil'jaeden.
"They went in first." Kil'jaeden recited the words Lu Li had told him, as if reciting a line from a script, his acting slightly stiff.
"Because there seemed to be some unusual activity coming from inside the ruins just now, somewhat similar to the state when the Holy Lord bestowed blessings..."
After saying that, he glanced at Aura as if trying to cover something up, as if afraid that the other party would find out something.
"Didn't they say earlier that this ruin was empty?" Lu Li feigned doubt, his tone tinged with displeasure.
"Why are there unusual movements again now?"
“I don’t know…” Kil’jaeden immediately replied, looking even more puzzled than Lu Li:
"If I hadn't had to wait for you outside, I would have gone in to check on you too..."
"Okay." Lu Li waved his hand impatiently and casually said to Aura:
"I'll go in and take a look first."
After saying that, without waiting for Aura's response, he shot directly towards the entrance of the ruins.
Evelyn, playing Scarlett, called out sweetly, "Wait for me!" and immediately followed her inside.
In the blink of an eye, only Aura and Kil'jaeden remained outside the entrance.
Aura glanced at Kil'jaeden and found that he was still staring at the entrance to the ruins and had not made any further moves.
Just as he was about to ask why they weren't going in, Kil'jaeden's question came through first:
"Ora, what are you standing there for? Come along and take a look!"
"Prince Sargeras brought you here precisely to show you the problems with these ruins, didn't he?"
