Chapter 411 - 336: Returning and the Hall Meeting【5K】_1
“Alright, we shouldn’t stay here too long; let’s leave first.”
Looking at the towering stone walls and the surrounding dark environment, Leo Ray, who had a good harvest, smiled faintly and spoke to the subordinates that surrounded him.
Under Leo Ray’s leadership,
The subordinates, Ariel, and the others did not say anything more. They flashed their bodies and began to fly towards the entrance of the underground square.
Next, following the same route they had come, they sped through the long and ancient corridors, stirring up the dust in the process.
Before long, Leo Ray and more than a dozen people arrived directly outside the bell tower.
Back under the cold moonlight, Leo Ray felt the cool evening breeze with a strong smell of blood while noticing.
At this time, the fighting and shouting in the north of the city began to fade, leaving only thick smoke and rising flames lingering in the sky.
It seemed that the Goblin Legion, sensing that something was wrong, had begun to retreat.
“Since the crisis of Dragon’s Lair has been resolved, we can safely return to Cyan Town.”
Withdrawing his gaze from the distance, Leo Ray nodded slightly to everyone.
Then, the group traveled through the plains and mountains at a swift pace.
In no time, the familiar city outline appeared before everyone’s eyes.
At this distance, you could already clearly see the bustling figures on the walls of Cyan Town.
During this time, under Leo Ray’s command,
Due to the reinforcement of the city walls and the excavation of the moat, and the fact that Cyan Town itself was a prosperous commercial town,
The whole city, both inside and outside, was brightly lit and appeared very welcoming.
Meanwhile, on the way back,
Leo Ray used mind talk to briefly describe the events that had unfolded to the others who were not present, such as Gunner Santons, Finn Stanley, Rhizoma Drynariae, Xenia Blackwood, and Nathan Howard, all of whom marveled at the tale.
Also, during their return journey, Leo Ray noticed,
Ariel, who had been circling nearby, had cast her eager gaze over several times, both intentionally and unintentionally.
She was obviously very curious about what exactly happened inside her ancestors’ resting place.
Afterward, after they successfully entered the city,
Leo Ray and his group went directly back to the City Lord Mansion and returned to the brightly lit castle hall.
At this moment, Leo Ray, who was sitting at the head of the table, picked up a steaming cup of tea and tilted his head slightly.
He noticed that, unsurprisingly, Ariel had followed him and sat down on a lower luxurious seat, still looking eager but trying to appear calm.
“My dear Her Highness the Fifth Princess, why don’t you go back and rest?”
Raising an eyebrow, Leo Ray sipped his fragrant tea and asked knowingly.
At this time, Leo Ray knew clearly,
To ultimately win over the proud Ariel, apart from starting with the people around her,
Another important step is to dampen her spirit considerably.
Thinking about this, Leo Ray furrowed his brows.
He then pondered to himself, “If only Ariel had been in the hall, things would have been much simpler. It seems we need to find the Sacred Essence Stone that can help King West regain some of his energy as soon as possible.”
Realizing this, Leo Ray couldn’t help but recall the conversation he had with Hero King Caesar, or Traveler King West, in the grand hall, and continued to think.
From the other party’s words, he could tell,
That this world is far more complicated than he had imagined.
As for the authenticity of their words, it should be beyond doubt.
Moreover, as he progressed further, he would receive confirmation one by one.
This was not something he needed to worry about.
In addition, the talent hinted by the other party is quite interesting.
However, just like what the other person said, his system interface was like a test version.
He couldn’t access the Trading Center, Chat Channel, or private messaging interfaces.
“Considering that, is it possible that the other party’s traversal is actually a test before the Ten Billion Lords’ Traversal? If that’s the case, then the matter becomes even more intriguing.”
As Leo Ray held the steaming cup of tea and thought about this,
On the other side, Ariel finally couldn’t help but respond with a frown, “Aren’t you going to tell me what happened when you were teleported into my ancestors’ resting place?”
At this time, from Ariel’s annoyed and fair face, it was obvious that she was still resentful that it wasn’t her who was teleported, but the annoying guy in front of her.
However, at the same time, a big question mark emerged in Ariel’s heart,
“Considering it from another angle, since my ancestor chose this annoying guy, is it possible…that he really isn’t a common person?”
Realizing this, Ariel couldn’t help but look at Taylor, Gideon Black, and Scarlett, who were standing respectfully below, seeming to be more certain of her thoughts.
But, she immediately dismissed the idea and shook her head lightly, “It’s impossible. It must be due to the long passage of time causing the magic array to malfunction; otherwise, my ancestor would definitely choose me, their descendant
