Chapter 665: Chapter 456: The Lost Relic_2
Including 2 Tier 5 Powerhouses, 3 Tier 4 Powerhouses, as well as 7 Tier 3 Pinnacle Powerhouses, and 1 Tier 3 Senior Powerhouses.
And almost without any loss on our part, we have killed 1 Tier 5 Powerhouses, 2 Tier 4 Powerhouses, and 6 Tier 3 Pinnacle Powerhouses, which is already a very remarkable record.”
At this point, Leo Ray gently patted Gideon Black’s broad shoulder as he continued, “The most critical thing is that our goal this time has been perfectly achieved.
That is to snatch the Magic Furnace from the other party’s hands, causing the important plan of the mysterious organization to fail once again.”
At this moment, Leo Ray’s gaze swept over his subordinates as he continued, “Besides, there are 4 people who escaped, and the 3 seemingly insignificant strong members of the mysterious organization are not worth mentioning.
And allowing No. 7 Black-robed Person to escape once again is not necessarily a bad thing for us.”
“Ah? Why is it a good thing?” Scarlett, feeling puzzled, blinked her bright eyes and asked.
“Lord, I understand what you mean.”
On the other side, Gideon Black pushed his gold-rimmed glasses up the bridge of his nose and thoughtfully said, “Since the No. 7 Black-robed Person has been defeated by us twice, he must be somewhat wary of us in his heart.
And we claim to be from the Coldflame Royal Family, so when they can’t track our whereabouts, the other party will naturally focus on the Coldflame Royal Family and start investigating.
As a result, it’s undoubtedly equivalent to completely diverting the other party’s attention, giving us some time to develop once again.”
At this point, a cold light flashed in Gideon Black’s glasses as he continued, “If he were killed, the mysterious organization would definitely send another Tier 5 Powerhouse to take charge of the Coldflame Branch.
At that time, how the new Tier 5 Powerhouse would act would be beyond our expectations.
Moreover, once their strength becomes stronger, it would be unfavorable for our subsequent actions.
Therefore, we might as well take advantage of the time when the other party investigates the Coldflame Royal Family, to continue discreetly growing and enhancing our strength.
By that time, even if there is a strong Tier 5 Powerhouse coming to support them, we will be more than capable.”
“Exactly.”
Leo Ray nodded slightly and continued, “Additionally, we have two things to do during this time.
Firstly, we must quickly find a way to win over Ariel Watson, the Coldflame Fifth Princess.
Secondly, just as Gideon Black said, we must continue to strengthen the strength of the territory and its subordinate territories, as the defense enhancements, training, and recruitment work in various places are going on in an orderly manner.”
“I see.”
Upon hearing this, Scarlett thoughtfully tapped her head and asked in confusion, “Lord, there’s one thing I don’t understand.
At present, we can almost confirm that among the three princes vying for the throne in the royal capital, one has secretly joined the mysterious organization’s camp.
If the mysterious organization supports them in one fell swoop, then wouldn’t we be facing both the mysterious organization and the Coldflame Royal Family, these two powerful forces?”
“I didn’t expect you, little girl, to think of that.”
With a slight smile, Leo Ray placed his hands behind his back and began to explain while pacing slowly, “Yes, this is indeed the worst-case scenario.
However, before that, through chats with Burt and Joshua, two kingdom generals, as well as Adams and Tran, two city lords, I have learned the general situation of the royal capital’s struggle.
That is, among the forces in the royal capital, only the Great Prince has a Tier 5 Powerhouse nicknamed the ‘White Knight’ loyal to him.
On the other hand, another Tier 5 Powerhouse serving as a kingdom general is still loyal to the Old King, and these two have already belonged to two completely different forces.
Therefore, although we cannot determine at this stage which prince has embraced the mysterious organization,
Even if the Great Prince, who has a Tier 5 Powerhouse loyal to him, belongs to the mysterious organization,
In order to fully control the Coldflame Royal Family, they will inevitably clash with the other Tier 5 Powerhouses.
As a result, the struggle between the two sides is still inevitable, and one side is bound to be severely injured.””I see, no wonder the mysterious organization still watches the three princes fight each other non-stop, it turns out they also have their concerns!”
Upon hearing this, Scarlett’s delicate face was suddenly filled with an expression of sudden realization as her long eyelashes flickered.
“Alright, let’s continue cleaning up the battlefield and see if we can find any other items here.”
Immediately afterward, Leo Ray nodded at his subordinates nearby.
Under Leo Ray’s command,
His subordinates immediately divided into several small teams and began to clean up the battlefield and explore the ruins.
Among them, Serena and Stella went to a hidden location outside the cave entrance to guard against any disturbances.
Soon after, accompanied by the sound of shattering glass from the giant metal furnace nearby,
Red Night’s crisp voice came over: “Lord, the anti-space magic on the magic furnace has been lifted.”
“Very good.”
Hearing this, Leo Ray approached the giant metal furnace, waved his hand, and immediately stored the Immortal Furnace into his space bracelet.
“Red Night, walk with me.”
After that, Leo Ray began to stroll through the castle ruins with their dragon girl following behind him.
At this time, standing on the somewhat uncomfortable ground and looking around at the damaged walls and ruins, an expression of contemplation emerged on Leo Ray’s face.
He frowned at the Dragon girl beside him and said, “Red Night, have you noticed anything strange?”
“Strange?” Hearing this, Red Night’s fair and bright face immediately revealed a look of confusion as she asked, “Lord, what do you mean?”
“In this vast Dwarf ruins, there doesn’t seem to be a single dwarf’s corpse.”
Taking a deep breath, Leo Ray continued solemnly, “From the scenes we saw earlier in the Illusion Realm, we can clearly deduce that this place was once a thriving city three thousand years ago. But after the destruction, not even a corpse was left behind, which is obviously unreasonable.”
“So that’s what you’re referring to.” On the other side, Red Night smiled and seemed to know something.
Then, she bowed slightly to Leo Ray and began to explain, “My Lord may not know this, but according to my understanding, there is no ancient corpse in any of the ancient relics from the Era of Blankness, regardless of the race. Just like the Dislocated Objects I mentioned before.
This is also one of the mysterious effects caused by the Era of Blankness or, to be more precise, an unsolved mystery.”
As a result, these relics from the Era of Blankness are also called Lost Relics.”
The meaning of the word ‘Lost’ naturally refers to these ancient corpses that have inexplicably disappeared as a whole.”
“Lost Relics? In this world, there are still such incredible things.”
Hearing this, Leo Ray nodded thoughtfully after his astonishment, pondering in his heart, “Come to think of it, before this, whether it be the Light Elf Ruins near Penelope Welbourn’s territory, the Titan Clan Temple, or the ruins of an unknown race where the Eternal Night Magic Box was found,
Even the Ancient Ship of Dislocated Objects and the Ancient Battlefield Ruins where nothing was found, indeed, not a single ancient corpse of any race has ever been discovered.”
Realizing this, the puzzled expression on Leo Ray’s face became thicker, and he mumbled to himself, “Originally I thought that the phenomenon of Dislocated Objects was already incredible enough,
But compared to Dislocated Objects, these collectively disappeared corpses are undoubtedly even more mysterious.
What exactly happened in that mysterious and unpredictable Era of Blankness that led to such baffling situations?”
