Nan Tong's figure appeared again after a while, and his speed was much faster than Lin Ke expected.
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh, it's just as you expected!"
Nan Tong knelt on one knee, his voice echoing in the confined space of the dungeon.
"Joshua is indeed the nephew of the Supreme Ruler King and has the purest royal bloodline!"
Lin Ke listened to Nan Tong's words, nodded slightly, and motioned him to continue.
"Joshua is the eldest son of the Supreme Ruler King's brother. He is a natural blood relative. This has been confirmed beyond a doubt."
Nan Tong added, his eyes looking very tough.
He knew very well that the reason why His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh asked him to go and find out the news was definitely because His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh had discovered something.
The succubus's red eyes blinked a few times, and she just calmly shifted her gaze to Lin Ke.
Why did His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh ask Nan Tong to confirm this news?
She couldn't understand the deeper meaning of it for the time being, so she just waited quietly for His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh to solve the mystery for them.
After listening to Nan Tong's report, Lin Ke's mouth corners slightly raised.
"It is true."
Lin Ke's voice was very light, but it caused the air in the dungeon to tremble slightly.
It seemed that even the air was waiting for Lin Ke's next answer.
"Then, there is probably only one answer."
He stood up slowly, his dark eyes adding a hint of mystery to the words he was about to say.
At this time, the faint smile on Lin Ke's face had disappeared.
Instead, His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh showed his usual indifference.
Ramses, Nan Tong and the succubus just looked at Lin Ke quietly, and even their breathing slowed down a bit.
They were eager to know what all this had to do with Joshua’s royal bloodline.
"The barrier of the 'Seal of God' is probably related to the royal bloodline."
As soon as Lin Ke finished speaking, the dungeon fell into a brief silence.
The succubus's red lips opened slightly, and Nan Tong's brows were furrowed.
And Ramses' golden eyes only flickered slightly a few times.
Obviously, the three of them were thinking and reasoning about Lin Ke's words.
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh?"
The succubus finally couldn't help but speak, her voice full of confusion.
"I don't understand why this barrier is related to the royal bloodline?"
"Or do you think that Joshua used his royal blood to perform the ritual?"
"But his body is just an ordinary mortal body. It does not have any magical power."
"Besides, who would perform a ritual to put themselves to death?"
"Ah! Could it be that Joshua died accidentally? Or did he not expect that things would turn out in a direction beyond his control?"
Lin Ke did not answer immediately, but he raised his hand first to deny the succubus's words.
"That's not the case. Joshua didn't initiate any of this."
"Strictly speaking, he is the victim of this 'Seal of God', not the caster."
"Look here first."
He walked towards the cage and pointed his finger at several bloodstains on the ground that had long since dried.
The bloodstains were dark in color.
Apparently, it was left there when Joshua was first imprisoned, long before he was "killed".
And Lin Ke slowly spoke at this time.
"Just as you said."
"This dungeon is not an alien world, and there is no power that you can detect."
"That means this is not the starting point of the ceremony, but the ending point of the ceremony."
"That is the place where the 'Seal of God' ceremony finally leads to."
Having said that, Lin Ke turned around and looked at the three people.
"Let me ask you, if the ritual is to lead to the destination accurately without anyone to guide it, what other methods can it use?"
The succubus's red eyes suddenly widened, and Nan Tong also looked up suddenly.
Ramses nodded slowly, with a golden light flashing in his eyes.
That’s right, they immediately understood what Lin Ke meant.
It was the royal blood that brought Joshua his death.
The "Seal of God" ritual just appeared right next to the bloodstain.
"I see!"
"I understand, old minister!"
Nan Tong's voice trembled slightly with excitement. He did not expect that the "Seal of God" ceremony would appear in the dungeon in this way.
It all makes sense.
The succubus' fingertips unconsciously tightened the corner of her clothes, and her nails scratched on them.
Obviously, Lin Ke's inference made her feel a little uneasy.
"So, it had already sensed this place the moment Joshua's blood touched the ground..."
"That is to say, when Lord Nantong found Joshua in the wild, the person who performed the ritual already knew Joshua's location."
"I remember that when Lord Nantong found Joshua, his body was already covered in blood."
"So, the person who performed the ritual chose to perform it at this time..."
"This was all his plan?!"
After the succubus said this, her eyes widened.
After all, this means that everything that is happening now is part of the plan of the person who performed the ritual.
Moreover, he has successfully achieved his goal.
If His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh had not deduced all of this, they would not even be able to understand how this ceremony came about.
"That's right."
Lin Ke continued, but his voice remained calm.
"So, that person deliberately chose late at night, when we might all be resting, to start the ritual."
Ramses took over the conversation, and the golden light in his eyes intensified slightly.
"Yes, this way, it can kill Joshua quietly, kill all the guards, and achieve its goal."
Nan Tong quickly walked to the bloodstain and squatted down, with his finger hovering above the bloodstain: "If, based on the location where the blood appeared, we analyze it..."
The succubus continued to replenish at this time.
"Combined with the current time for auxiliary judgment, we can accurately determine the best time to perform the ritual!"
As soon as the succubus finished speaking, he and Nan Tong looked at each other.
Lin Ke watched them quietly from the side, no emotion visible in his eyes.
Under Lin Ke's guidance, this careful reasoning made the succubus and Nan Tong look shocked.
Such a carefully designed plan, every step of which was precisely calculated, is simply chilling.
Obviously, this person who can use the "Seal of God" is by no means simple.
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh is indeed very observant."
"Otherwise, this person is very scheming and might have already come up with a plan to deal with us."
"What should we do next, Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh?"
When Lin Ke heard what Ramses said, he just took a deep breath.
"only......"
He said softly again.
"Why did the other party insist on killing Joshua?"
