I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means

Chapter 593: Chapter 406 Another Blood Clan Member?_2

Leaving aside whether others would believe Lis’s words, what good would it do even if they believed?

You must know that Demon Prince Demogorgon has been scheming for many years, and it is not something Lis can change.

Just as the flapping of a butterfly’s wings can eventually cause a storm, it ultimately cannot change the already formed terrifying hurricane.

Even if Lis were to make public everything Demogorgon had planned, at best it would just expedite Demogorgon’s scheme, without affecting the overall situation.

But in that case, Lis’s existence would undoubtedly enter the sight of Demogorgon and All Gods.

With his current strength, he would simply be courting death.

Not to mention Demogorgon, even among the camp of the gods there are deities with dark and evil intentions, so Lis must be careful.

Although up until now, he has been very confident about everything that happened, Cecil cannot.

Having spent days together, he also knew that Cecil was just an Elf girl who had never been baptized by battle, and it was unreasonable to expect too much from her.

“Thank you, Mr. Lis.”

“I really didn’t expect that what the Elf Elder of the Illiser Family said was true, that someone actually attacked us, and even a Gold Level assassin at that.”

Cecil remembered the brutally ruthless attack from just before, knowing she couldn’t possibly have withstood it if it weren’t for Lis.

Thinking this, Cecil felt even more grateful for her previous decision to entrust Lis.

What she didn’t know was that even if she didn’t entrust Lis, he might have still followed her quietly.

After all, Lis would certainly not give up on such an important clue easily.

“Let’s set out, we’re close to the Bolin Kingdom.”

Lis nodded his head and continued,

“Once we reach Acot City in the Bolin Kingdom and meet that Elf Elder, we’ll know what exactly has happened.”

Lis was also very interested in that elder from the Illiser Family.

He had a feeling that he should be able to obtain more useful information from that person.

“Mhm.”

Cecil nodded, gathered her emotions and followed behind Lis to continue on their journey.

…

After leaving Elf Forest, they officially entered the territory of the Bolin Kingdom.

Most of the Bolin Kingdom’s territory consisted of rolling hills with only a few plains near the Elf Forest.

However, because these lands are close to Elf Forest, wild beasts and Magic Beasts often wander out from the forest and roam around, so apart from towns with sufficient strength to defend themselves, few farmers operate here.

But since Bolin Kingdom’s lands are near Elf Forest, the climate is suitable and mild, with spring-like weather all year round. Even the scarce fields granted by the forest could produce enough food, and with a wealth of other resources, the people of Bolin Kingdom lived quite prosperously.

The areas of Bolin Kingdom near Elf Forest are mainly engaged in trade with the Elf Kingdom and industries like mercenary commissions. The checks on passing merchants and travelers are not strict; it’s more a laissez-faire approach.

As long as you honestly pay the expensive city entrance tax and don’t brazenly cause trouble within the city, the lords and managers of Bolin Kingdom would turn a blind eye to most other matters and rarely intervene.

Lis and Cecil didn’t delay at the border of Bolin Kingdom, made a brief stop to tidy up, and then headed straight for the Royal Capital.

The remaining journey was quite smooth; Lis didn’t encounter anyone else attacking Cecil and couldn’t help feeling a bit disappointed.

However, along the way, it wasn’t without events.

While passing through Wake Viscount Domain of the Bolin Kingdom, Lis noticed a battle happening not far ahead.

The dull sounds of combat came through, not resembling the clash of weapons but more like the vibrations of fierce, flesh-on-flesh collisions.

Lis felt a familiar aura and after settling Cecil, he slowly approached to investigate.

It was now sunset, with the dim yellow sunlight scattered across the hills, like broken yet brilliant speckles of gold.

Lis hid in the shadow of a rocky outcrop, watching the intense battle before him with interest.

In the valley beneath the hills, three figures tangled together, viciously attacking each other’s bodies as if they were irrational beasts tearing at each other with no hesitation.

Waves of bloody energy surged, and the surrounding rocks were pulverized by the aftermath of the battle, kicking up clouds of dust.

“Augustus, behave and come back with us, Lord Andrei will forgive your impulsiveness once.”

“If you keep causing trouble like this, even if the Lord favors you, he will not tolerate a traitor.”

One of the burly men shouted loudly; his bare upper body was covered in various scars, and a bloody mist continuously exuded from his pores, making him look even more ferocious under the red fog.

Although he was saying this, his attacks did not stop and he fiercely smashed into the chest of a slender young man, sending him flying.

“Right, Augustus!”

At the same time, the fiery woman, who had been entwined in the fight, leaped backward and stood atop a large blue rock, laughing and speaking.

She wore an extremely thin black gauze dress that didn’t cover her seductive and fiery body at all, vast expanses of snowy white skin exposed to the air, with only a few blood-red ribbons wrapped around her straight, fair, and slender legs, captivating the onlooker’s gaze.

Even as she stood on the rock and chuckled, her chest heaved tumultuously, proudly showcasing her devilish figure.

“Come on, Augustus, be good and come back with sister. Who knows, after satisfying Lord Andrei tonight, sister might have some time for you too!”
