Chapter 2401 The Ruins Are Real
If the ruins were recently fabricated, there would be more clues upon closer investigation once excavation began.
In fact, they might be able to find out who was the one responsible for creating the fake ruins.
By discovering the mastermind behind the scenes, they might have a chance to locate the enemy’s hideout.
Levi sent the Erudian Alliance to search the ruins at once.
By then, news of the ruin’s appearance had spread far and wide.
Thus, Garrison Industry and many other Erudian factions headed there at the same time.
Even Kirin and the others wanted to try their luck when they heard the news.
Many of them gathered at North Hampton and prepared to plunder the ruins.
Even Queenie’s interest was piqued. Hence, she decided to go over with Azure Dragon.
“Don’t waste your time. It is definitely a fake.”
Levi stopped them just when they were preparing to leave.
Based on Levi’s recent conclusion with the Sacred Organization, the ruins were highly likely to be a sham.
“Hmm? A Fake?”
Stunned, everyone looked at him in disbelief.
“That’s because many of the recent ruins are all fakes. Anyway, it’s just too complicated to explain in such a short time. No matter what, just trust me on it. If you go, you would have taken the bait!”
Levi looked at everyone earnestly.
By then, Zoey and the others no longer believed Levi. Instead, it was Queenie who suddenly remarked, “Fine. Let’s trust him this one time. My father insists that he is someone extraordinary. Hence, I want to see if what he says is true.”
Queenie wanted to find out what was so special about Levi, and this was a wonderful opportunity to do so.
“Edmund, what do you think?”
Queenie looked toward Edmund.
“Fine. It’s just a bunch of ruins. Let’s take Levi’s advice and not go there. We will then see if the ruins are really fake.”
Given how authoritative Edmund’s words were, everyone dropped the idea of plundering the ruins.
As all the major factions withdrew their soldiers, Kirin and the others changed their mind about going.
Instead, everyone was betting on whether Levi was telling the truth.
“Damn it, they finally believed me for once.”
Refusing to let any single person or detail slip, Levi ordered his men to investigate the ruins still.
Soon, it was the day the ruins were about to be excavated.
What surprised everyone was that neither the major factions of Erudia nor other powerful warriors participated in it.
The powerful fighters that came from overseas to plunder it laughed at them.
They had assumed that they didn’t stand a chance. Instead, they didn’t face any competition at all.
Soon, word spread that the Iron Golem Technique contained within the ruins was stolen by the Raysonians.
All the other treasures and techniques inside were also shared between the other plunderers.
A detailed analysis conducted later concluded that the ruins were indeed genuine, contradicting Levi’s presumption.
“Master, there are still some genuine ruins scattered around the world even though most of them are fakes,” Death Fiend remarked.
“However, among the plunderers, this time was a mysterious group. The energy they emitted was different from everyone else. However, by the time my men arrived, they had already gone,” Death Fiend explained.
Levi was puzzled. “Does this mean the mastermind was targeting the ruins too? Or at least knows what was inside it.”
“More or less. That’s why I need to continue my investigations. That aside, I heard the Iron Golem Technique is super strong. I expect whoever got their hands on it will soon start attacking,” Death Fiend lamented.
Levi too let out a long sigh.
Contrary to his expectations, the ruins turned out to be real.
However, he took comfort in finally getting a lead.
Bam!
Suddenly, his room door was kicked open.
Queenie and the others stormed in angrily.
