Gazing in the direction where the blue light disappeared, Linda's mind raced: If Evelyn had already sided with the demons, why would the Crescent Knight need to come to Azure City in person?
A legendary warrior's combat prowess is extraordinary; why not use it to conquer the capital?
The Azure Tree is indeed important, but it is not worth having one, or even two, legends including Evelyn, personally burn it.
"The plan has changed; we don't need to break the barrier."
Linda said with certainty.
Leah's expression changed: "We can't just sit here and wait to die."
"Waaaaah, boss, I still want to live!" The useless tiger was about to pee his pants.
"Faced with two legends, even if I break through the barrier and escape, it will only buy me time, and they will catch up with me soon."
Linda said resolutely, "We must help Evelyn and take down the Crescent Knight!"
"ah?"
This suggestion startled everyone.
Crescent Knights are legendary adventurers at the very top of the pyramid. What help could these Saint-level beings possibly offer?
Moreover...
Ai Ke frowned and said, "According to your guess, isn't Lord Leng Yue a traitor?"
"Yes, but no. If I'm not mistaken, Evelyn is in a state of obeying the Demon King's orders, but not entirely under his control."
Ai Ke instantly understood Linda's implied meaning and asked in surprise, "Lord Lengyue, is she a witch?"
"right."
Linda nodded.
Before my eyes, it seemed as if fragments were piecing together to reveal the truth.
His speech quickened and became more fluent: "Legendary adventurers aren't so easily fooled; after all, even the Demon King is only level 99."
Evelyn's level is at least 96.
Therefore, they retained a greater degree of self-awareness.
I think the Crescent Knights came here to ensure the smooth takeover of Evelyn.
Azure City is Evelyn's hometown. If the people of Dragon's Tomb carry out a massacre and burn Azure Trees here, it is very likely to arouse Evelyn's resistance.
A legendary-level demon must be present to suppress her.
This speculation has prompted everyone to ponder.
At first glance, Linda's words made sense.
But even if all these speculations are true...
Aiko looked troubled: "In her witch form, Lord Lengyue still leans towards the demon race, doesn't she?"
"I have a way of dealing with this."
If one can reach Evelyn and use the magic of the Dark Shadow to perform purification, there is hope of helping her regain her senses.
Linda subconsciously felt that Evelyn would side with the adventurers.
Through the storyline "Drinking Under the Moon" at 80 affection level, we learn that Evelyn is a person who hates evil and wishes to exterminate all the demons who killed her parents.
However, there is still one last point of doubt.
"Kafni, why didn't you realize that Evelyn was the witch?"
"I don't know," Kaphni said, completely bewildered. "I think she's pretty normal, not like a witch."
Linda frowned.
Could it be that Evelyn's level is far superior to Kafni's, causing Kafni's perception ability to fail?
As they pondered, a male voice rang out over the city: "All citizens, proceed to the underground shelters immediately. I repeat."
"Mr. Angel?"
Linda's eyes lit up, and she flew towards the pale green figure in front of her.
"Linda, Leah, what are you doing here?"
"It's a long story, Mr. Angel, what is it?"
"I am under orders from Lord Lengyue to evacuate the people. You are too, hurry to the shelter!"
Angel cried out urgently, "Whatever you do, don't go near the Ice Abyss! A legendary battle might break out there!"
After saying that, Angel flew away.
Bai Luo pondered, "It seems that Lord Leng Yue is not a traitor?"
Linda was also confused.
Disband the Ice Abyss students and send Angel to help the city's residents take refuge.
This is perfectly normal behavior from the four dukes.
Could it be that Evelyn never betrayed us in the first place?
Linda's mind raced.
The truth of the matter seems to be something that can only be witnessed firsthand.
He gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
"Lia, Bai Luo, you two go to the shelter first. I need to go with Lin Xi."
"No," Leah grabbed his hand. "You're coming with us to take refuge too!"
Bai Luo's eyes were full of worry: "Even you, teacher, can't help in a legendary battle."
"A teacher may not be able to help, but that doesn't mean the eye of true knowledge can't."
Linda gave a relaxed smile: "I have [Complete Healing] and [Vulnerability Aura], which might play a key role. Just wait for my good news."
"Awoo! Brother, leave him to my protection!"
The little black dragon climbed onto Linda's shoulder, puffing out its chest proudly.
"Bai Luo, you should understand my good intentions, right?"
Seeing that Leah and the others still looked resistant, Linda turned to Bai Luo, smiled and patted the girl's head: "You are the most mature and steady team member under the teacher, so we're entrusting everyone to you."
The little cat girl immediately perked up, her tail wagging.
It turns out that in Linda's heart, she had always been a mature adult.
She couldn't let Linda down.
Bai Luo stroked the silver oath ring on her hand and whispered, "I'll trust my teacher one last time."
"Don't worry, I will definitely come back." Linda gently hugged Bai Luo.
Having said that, the black and silver wings unfurled, and it flew towards the city center.
We're counting on you.
Linda thought to herself.
Central Street, Adventurers' Guild.
The building was deserted, and the ground was covered in ruins.
There were many corpses lying underneath, many of them young waiters, the youngest only sixteen or seventeen years old, just teenagers.
