217 The Troops Are Deployed To The Underground Ruins
Lord Bevin and Lord Gadar could not figure out why the Dark Enchanter was so submissive to Xu Yuan.
Even Su Wan thought about all possibilities but couldn’t come up with an explanation.
The Lords assumed that Xu Yuan was extremely powerful, so every hero followed him out of fear, even Eve.
Su Wan felt that Xu Yuan was lazy, and had some unique abilities. However, that wasn’t enough to make the Dark Enchanter so obedient.
In Su Wan’s eyes, Xu Yuan was just a support-type hero. ‘Does she want some ability from Xu Yuan to achieve some other goal?’
Su Wan’s imagination took over. She thought the Dark Enchanter, a dark princess, wanted Xu Yuan’s help to take revenge on someone.
The Fallen Angel interrupted her thoughts. “Alright, everyone! Don’t think too much about it.”
The Fallen Angel found it difficult to explain Xu Yuan’s identity. As heroes, they were all aware of the legend of the Dark Demon Dragon. The Dark Demon Dragon’s powers were beyond everything they could comprehend. However, the Fallen Angel couldn’t help but feel a little doubtful.
The Dark Enchanter’s obedience toward Xu Yuan didn’t seem like a matter of the weak being devoted to the strong.
As for the Dark Enchanter, she noticed that everybody was doubting her intentions. “Cut the cr*p!” She snorted. “All you need to know is that whoever disrespects His Majesty will be my enemy.”
The Dark Enchanter, Eve, had a secret she had never told anyone. The only other person who knew this was her father.
Her father, the Dark Magician Marshal, had reached his peak in magic. He had even dabbled into the Time Element to a certain extent.
From her father’s guess, the Dark Demon Dragon which had appeared once in the first war between the Light and the Dark might be a time traveler. He had guessed that the Dark Demon Dragon had achieved an unimaginable level in the Time Element and could travel through it as the creature wished.
It seemed like the truth. The Dark Demon Dragon had changed the past to a certain extent. The events had established history, which involved tampering with the Fate Element.
Eve hadn’t thought much about it in the past, but now she could see that it was somewhat true.
Her thoughts were interrupted by Xu Yuan. “Well… since everything has been settled, let’s go and explore the underground ruins.”
Xu Yuan was motivated now. He left the throne and flew up to look at the path that led to the underground ruins.
He had a reason to be so eager. He was curious to see if there were any ancient Lords in the ruins. There was a possibility of obtaining a high-quality Elemental heart.
Xu Yuan was in a hurry to perfect his Chaos Realm ability by finding twelve powerful Elemental hearts. He recalled the vision of the Dark Demon Dragon that had collected eleven Elemental hearts of Mythical Level. He wanted to put in more effort and achieve something like that.
“Yes!” The generals accepted the command.
They led their respective troops and set off for the underground ruins.
“Xu Yuan, do you really plan to use the ruin to expand our territory underground?” asked Su Wan when the four heroes had left.
Su Wan had learned about the past of the ancient empire. The empire had been destroyed overnight and had submerged under the sea. Now, it was just an abandoned ruin. It remained only as a ghost of the glorious empire it once had been.
It had been so prosperous and powerful that it had even threatened the Hero Plane. Unfortunately, the empire disappeared overnight.
The ancient empire, even as a dilapidated ruin, was still dangerous. The ancient dead souls, although not as strong as they once had been, were still difficult to deal with.
So, Su Wan asked Xu Yuan once again if it was wise to use it to expand the territory.
Xu Yuan didn’t look sleepy and lazy at this point. He turned to Su Wan with a serious face. “There is an ancient empire under our territory. Why don’t you want to try taking advantage of that fact and conquer it to make it your territory?”
His words were shocking. Xu Yuan not only wanted to expand the territory but also wanted to own the ancient ruins.
“Could it be that you want to build a second empire?”
Xu Yuan looked at her. “Can’t I?”
His gaze was unwavering. It was as though he could see through her.
Su Wan felt like Xu Yuan had suddenly changed. He was no longer the lazy creature who was the least bothered by everything around him. Before this, he was so indifferent to everything and only wanted to sleep all day long.
The present Xu Yuan was full of ambition. He wanted to conquer the ruins of the ancient empire.
‘But why?’ Su Wan thought. ‘When did he start becoming so motivated?’
Su Wan assumed that it was because of the other heroes. She thought it started when he met the White Dragon Saint, then he met other heroes like the Fallen Angel and the Dark Enchanter. When surrounded by these powerful heroes, Xu Yuan wanted to achieve great things.
Su Wan looked at Xu Yuan. He looked so serious that, for a moment, she felt as though she was too distant from him.
She had always thought that she knew Xu Yuan well. However, it now felt as though she never knew him at all.
‘Does he really want to unify the Dark-Types?’ wondered Su Wan.
She found him formidable and striking. However, right after the others left, Xu Yuan rested his head on the pillow and went to sleep. This was in sharp contrast to how he had appeared before. The mysterious and formidable impression he had made was gone.
“Xu Yuan, I really don’t know what to make of you!” said Su Wan. She wanted to shake him awake.
But at this moment, a butterfly flew over. Complex runes appeared on the wings of the black butterfly.
“Don’t disturb his sleep!” A gentle voice said to Su Wan. It was the butterfly speaking!
