Chapter 666: Chapter 457: The Unfathomable Mysterious Organization_1
Gazing at the mottled broken walls around him, after pondering for a long time, Leo Ray thought to himself: “Forget it, the current clues are not enough to understand the whole picture. As we grow stronger, everything will be resolved.”
At this moment, Leo Ray’s eyebrows relaxed, and he continued to ponder: “However, I have to say, this otherworld full of surprises, astonishments, or frights is becoming more and more interesting.
It really makes one look forward to the fascinating things we’ll encounter in the future.”
Having thought this, Leo Ray gathered his thoughts back and turned slightly to the Dragon Clan girl beside him: “Scarlett, do you have any new insights on the mysterious organization that just fought with us?”
“My Lord, as you said before, this mysterious organization is indeed plotting something unspeakable, and their goal is very clear,” responded Scarlett.
With a nod to Leo Ray, a solemn expression appeared on Scarlett’s fair face.
She continued, “Moreover, judging from the situation with the Immortal Gate this time, they undoubtedly have a deep understanding of this Dwarf city, so much so that they found the location of the giant furnace in no time.”
“That’s right, they clearly possess an immense amount of knowledge about relics, even about Furnace Castle City which disappeared in the historical torrent during the Era of Blankness three thousand years ago,” agreed Leo Ray, nodding slightly.
He continued, “The only problem is that they are not quite sure about the exact location here.”
At this moment, he casually touched a collapsed wall in front of him that was half his height,
and continued to Scarlett, “When I was at the Titan Clan Temple, I discreetly asked Old Mage Carlvin, who was once an archaeology expert for the Coldflame Royal Family. Even he had never heard of the existence of the Immortal Gate.”
Upon finishing his words, Leo Ray made a mental move, and a delicate sheepskin parchment appeared in his palm.
This parchment was obtained the first time they encountered Michael Wood in front of the Immortal Gate. It depicted the pattern of the Immortal Gate,
and in the lower-left corner, there was a conspicuous black cracked emblem pattern printed.
Looking at the parchment in his hand, Leo Ray couldn’t help but wear a contemplative expression, saying, “From this, we can almost confirm that this mysterious organization obviously possesses a knowledge reserve surpassing that of the Coldflame Royal Family.
Also, through my previous conversation with King West at the Ancestral Sleeping Ground, we can learn that there was no existence of such a mysterious organization during the era of the Hero King, in which King West lived.
From this, it’s not difficult to infer that the birth of this mysterious organization must have been after King West’s death. In this way, a problem arises:
An organization founded after the Coldflame Royal Family yet possessing a greater number of powerhouses and knowledge reserves, this seems somewhat unreasonable.”
“My Lord is right,” agreed Scarlett.
Nodding slightly, she gazed at the parchment in Leo Ray’s hand, her long eyelashes flickering,
and said thoughtfully, “As we mentioned before, this mysterious organization has a widespread influence in various human countries, a large number of top powerhouses, and an unusually rich knowledge reserve.”
At this point, Scarlett furrowed her brows and said, “However, the time since its establishment is so short, which is indeed a self-contradictory matter.”
After a slight pause, Scarlett said again, “As I mentioned before, due to years of warfare, conflicts among the various human countries, including the Coldflame and Saint Night, have been continuous, and their grievances are deep.
Yet, amidst this chaotic and hate-filled backdrop, the mysterious organization can gather part of the elite powerhouses of the human countries to serve them wholeheartedly. It must be said that this mysterious organization is truly unfathomable.””Most importantly, among the powerful fighters working for this mysterious organization, not only are there bandits and mountain thieves with their hands stained in innocent blood, but also various strata of people, including oppressed commoners, power-hungry nobles, prodigal sons, and desperate mercenaries.”
Nodding towards Red Night, Leo Ray continued: “Even a prince from the Coldflame Royal Family has given up his dignity as a member of the royal family, willingly becoming one of their ranks.”
“That’s right. It must be said that uniting these people from all walks of life is no easy task.”
Hearing this, Red Night muttered in agreement.
“Most crucially, this organization is ruthless and cruel in its actions, resorting to any means necessary to achieve their goals, essentially a group of desperate individuals.”
At this point, Leo Ray stroked his chin, continuing to think: “Established for a short time, yet possessing such a strong influence, how has this mysterious organization managed to do so? This is simply inconceivable.”
“It is indeed baffling, but one thing is certain, the other party will undoubtedly continue to run rampant on this land to fulfill their unspeakable secret.”
Red Night slightly nodded, her delicate face showing a touch of coldness again.
She continued: “In summary, as long as I am by my Lord’s side, I will never let these vermin jump around in my Lord’s presence. Please rest assured, my Lord.”
“Understood.”
With a faint smile, Leo Ray immediately replied: “Today, your contributions were the most outstanding, successfully killing the enemy’s Tier 5 Powerhouse. Tonight, at the banquet, feel free to let me know what you want to eat, and I will have Rudy and the others prioritize cooking for you with the finest ingredients.”
“Thank you very much, my Lord!”
Upon hearing this, Red Night, who had recently joined the Foodie Trio, immediately showed a hint of joy on her face and responded with a bow.
Next, after a thorough battlefield cleanup by the various subordinates,
Leo Ray eventually obtained eight weapons, including a Tier 4 Longbow, a Tier 4 Wide-Blade Sword, two Tier 3 Magic Staffs, a Tier 3 Shortbow, a Tier 3 Battle Axe, and two Tier 3 Short Swords.
Moreover, he gained three storage rings, including one belonging to No. 9 Black Robed Person.
Furthermore, after some intentional searching,
On each of these mysterious organization fighters, a palm-sized, translucent crystal stone plaque engraved with a black cracked emblem was found, in which magical flow light faintly flickered.
“It seems these are the Stones of Life that the mysterious organization uses to determine life and death and to locate whereabouts.”
With thoughtful nod, Leo Ray gestured, and these crystal stone plaques were all directly burnt into black powder by Red Night, slowly scattering in mid-air.
“As for the matter of upgrading these spoils of war, we’ll wait until we return to the territory later.”
Seeing this, after storing away the numerous weapons, Leo Ray nodded slightly and secretly pondered in his heart: “This battle has consumed quite a few magical scrolls,
Even the only Tier 5 Attack Scroll. I hope the items that will be obtained from the ring can make up for all of these.”
Just as Leo Ray was thinking this, on the other side, Scarlett’s slightly surprised crisp voice sounded: “My Lord, come take a look!”
