After Being Sold Out By The Empire, I Decide To Assist The Demon King

"We've arrived. The location of the Evil God Relics is within the theocratic country. It was found by His Holiness the Pope, who then informed the Blood Clan of the Demon King Territory."

A priest said this, looking very serious, to Yila who had arrived in the theocratic country through Void Travel, saying, "This is the 'revelation' received by His Holiness the Pope..."

*A revelation... Is it a prophecy? No, this shouldn't be within Mille Milyan's abilities. Did they learn about it from ancient texts? Or did the Starlight Body help out?* No matter what, Yila felt grateful.

"Is it right here? Hmm... Send my regards to Mille."

Yila said this, then walked into the underground ruins… He spread out his wings and cast a night vision spell, and what appeared before his eyes were stone slabs covered with corridors.

They were densely written with secrets of the past... Probably.

The reason it was "probably" was that Yila couldn't understand a word written on them...

"..."

In the brief silence, Yila's body gradually virtualized and disappeared from the spot... The ruins, which had not been touched by anyone for centuries, returned to calm.

After a long time, Yila returned to the entrance of the ruins, now with Cassiopeia in tow.

"Oh, oh, oh, awesome!!!"

It was Cassiopeia's first time going on an adventure with Yila… or rather, her first adventure ever since she was born. She looked very excited.

However, along the way, Yila had already explained the purpose to her, and she quickly got into the mood, looking at the murals on the walls and the stone slabs embedded in the walls. Her gaze focused on the Divine Era Texts on them.

"Each slab seems to be written with the same words... repeating certain phrases."

Cassiopeia said this, wearing a set of clothes different from her usual attire… Usually, her clothing style was a classic High Elf style, resembling the inner sheath wings of an insect, a mix of translucent light gauze and plant-like green colors.

But now, it was more like "Where did this pampered young lady enjoying an adventure come from?"... It didn't look like a normal human adventurer's style at all.

Because the style of those adventurers was solely for practical purposes... They would never wear headpieces.

Helmets would be more appropriate.

"Let me see: 'Before the World Tree grew, the world was a white severe cold, the gods came and sealed the calamity. Haha! Good!'... Hmm, that's about what it says."

Cassiopeia's interpretation made Yila pause for a moment. He looked at those stone slabs in the dim light, covered with various murals, and evaluated the interpretation: "Very... concise and clear, an easy-to-understand translation."

This wasn't just a "literal translation" issue; wasn't this basically a "machine translation"?

Yila looked along the slabs… What was depicted, scenes of the gods sealing the calamity, was also very concise and clear, mostly just a mix of lines and color blocks, only barely recognizable as humanoid figures doing something with some colors.

Currently, he could only determine that the pure white color block probably referred to the Zero-Degree Deep Cold calamity... and it should be the first to be sealed, as its position was at the first slab at the entrance.

*...Hmm, it could also be the last one sealed,* he thought.

"Such intelligence shouldn't have been widespread at that time... The technology back then shouldn't have been able to cut such perfect and smooth slabs. This 'ruins' seems different from other 'ruins.'

Yila judged this, guiding Cassiopeia along the corridor at the entrance, saying, "This place wasn't built by followers to commemorate the gods... but was personally built by one of the gods, very likely the Evil God himself."

Typical ruins were previously built by believers in the gods, funded and constructed to commemorate and worship the gods in a church, gradually abandoned and turned into ruins over time.

"Oh? Really? I don't even know what an ordinary ruin looks like."

Cassiopeia said this with a smile on her face, closely following behind Yila... Because of the interesting height difference between her and Yila, she didn't look like an adventuring companion, but more like a mischievous neighboring sister following the serious Yila.

Which was indeed quite accurate...

"Kings of the elves through the ages should all have ruins built to commemorate them."

At the moment Yila finished speaking, Cassiopeia couldn't help but burst out laughing, jokingly saying, "I can't possibly adventure on my ancestors' graves, right?"

*That's true,* Yila thought. Leading Cassiopeia through the corridor, they arrived at a new room... How should he put it? This was the calmest ruin Yila had ever seen.

Normally, there should have been some mechanical bodies or similar guardians... But here, there was nothing.

In the room, what first caught Yila's and Cassiopeia's eyes was an upside-down quadrilateral pyramid's top platform embedded in the ground, with half underground and half protruding above the ground, looking very suitable for placing things on it.

A thick layer of dust covered it... Yila cautiously touched it, made a judgment, and said, "Cotton and linen eroded by time... In my knowledge, this should be wadding."

In other words, it was a bed.

"The Evil God... wouldn't have slept here, right?"

Yila said this, recalling the Evil God Realm's environment, hesitated, and said, "Well, if it were me, I would make the same choice about which place to work and which place to live."

While Yila was saying this, Cassiopeia, looking at the Divine Era Texts engraved on the walls, made a surprising discovery: "Yila! Dark Fisher was actually a girl!"

"..."

*Huh?* Yila had always thought it was a man... The name "Dark Fisher" recorded in ancient texts didn't have any feminine intonation to it; was it really that contradictory to common sense?

Though internally astonished, Yila still nodded, waiting for her to translate gradually, saying, "Hmm, for the gods, gender might not matter much, right?"

As Yila spoke, Cassiopeia looked at the casually sketched words on the wall, slightly bursting into her translation skills, saying, "It says here: 'It's time. Everyone is coming to find me... Seriously.'

"'Even if firmly believing that I'm corrupted by the calamity of the Fallen God, they still believe that I'll definitely participate in sealing that chaotic monster... What idiots, still laughing there.'"

"'But it is indeed time, three calamities... together with the one on me... four, enough.'"

"'The work of the gods is over. As long as the children act according to my prophecy, then the most troublesome calamities can be resolved, my efforts all these years weren't in vain either.'

"'Unfortunately, just like the others, I won't see what the children look like when they grow up.'"
