Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong - Chapter 2045 - 1146: Operations and Communications (Part 2)
Chapter 2045: Chapter 1146: Operations and Communications (Part 2)
Afterward, Antonio elaborated on how we should contact him and expressed some flattering words and statements of determination before the projection completely ended.
Once the Command Hall quieted down, Leo Ray first ordered Sean Parker to bring over the other ice-message arrows.
Through a thorough inspection by Elder Bing, Leo Ray learned.
These ice-message arrows, like the ones just opened, came from the same condensing spell, and the content was identical.
It is easy to see that Antonio, for the sake of precaution, sent multiple letters in case we missed them.
After clarifying everything, Caroline rested her chin on one hand, surprisingly saying, “I didn’t expect this old guy to lower his stance so much in the end, like an inexperienced magic apprentice.”
“You should know, Antonio is someone deeply respected in the Pars Empire, considered the wisest human mage, admired and revered by countless magicians. Receiving his guidance is akin to getting a ticket to success and power.”
At this point, Caroline slightly pursed her lips and said, “It seems this old guy really made up his mind after all,
“What the Third Princess said is absolutely true.”
Jasper Richardson nodded in agreement, “Not to mention anything else, just by controlling these duplicate ice-message arrows, once made public, it would be enough to ruin the reputation of the chief court magic teacher of the Pars Empire, even causing him to face lethal danger.”
“Old gentleman, what do you think?”
Leo Ray did not immediately comment but looked towards Elder Bing again.
“Your Excellency, as I’ve said before, as long as you are willing, I will fully cooperate.”
Elder Bing nodded at Leo Ray and said earnestly, “Everything will follow your command, Your Excellency.”
“Then it’s decided.”
Leo Ray nodded slightly and said to the half-elf magic instructor on the side, “Jasper Richardson, you will go directly to the Pars Empire to confront Antonio face-to-face, and I will personally speak with him.”
“As you command, Lord.”
Jasper Richardson bowed, accepting the order.
“Your Highness, aren’t you afraid there is some deception in this?”
Caroline furrowed her brows in thought for a moment and then spoke, “Perhaps Antonio has already become a puppet of the Temple of Light?”
“That possibility is almost nonexistent.”
Leo Ray smiled slightly and explained to Caroline, “At that time, besides the grand army of the Pars Empire, the crises from the Grimm Kingdom and Mountain Fortress had not yet been resolved. We could be annihilated at any moment. To be more precise, if not for the appearance of the heroic spirits, we would have been utterly defeated.”
“In such a situation, Gannon the Ninth, who believed he had victory in his grasp, had no reason to use such trivial tactics. After all, if we were already destroyed, all of this would be meaningless.”
“Moreover, I have more than one way to detect a person’s heart. Even Antonio would absolutely have no possibility of infiltrating our camp; doing so would be equally meaningless.”
At this point, in Leo Ray’s mind flashed the list of other Lord’s Talents submitted by Quinn Serena.
Among the elite Lords joining the Master Leo Fan Club, several possessed talents similar to lie detection, though their methods and techniques varied.
However, without exception, they could accurately determine whether a target harbored ill intentions towards us and completely disregard any class limitations. This point, Leo Ray has witnessed many times personally.
Moreover, once Antonio was subdued, combined with several special Magic Medicines that reduced spiritual power, even Gideon Black, who had not reached Tier 5 yet, could see through everything on a spiritual level.
If Antonio, like other Black Abyss Brotherhood experts, was under some curse that prevented him from speaking the truth, Gideon Black might not be able to break the curse and see the truth, but he could detect the existence of the curse.
Under Gideon Black’s leadership, those gifted Lords also participated in a recent inquiry of Priests, successfully screening out all innocent Priests.
In summary, Leo Ray has established a comprehensive detection system aimed at discerning and managing non-subordinate officials from various regions to prevent deceitful individuals from infiltrating his camp.
“Your Excellency is right; although my strength is less than one-tenth of what it once was, I also possess many means of detecting on the spiritual level.”
Elder Bing lightly stroked his white beard and smiled slightly, “In front of me, any conspiracy has nowhere to hide.”
“With the old gentleman as insurance, we needn’t worry even more.”
Leo Ray also smiled slightly and concluded, “Alright, let’s proceed with our separate tasks.”
Upon hearing Leo Ray’s words, everyone nodded in agreement and went about their respective duties.
Before Jasper Richardson left, Leo Ray equipped him with six Tier 5 Alchemy Puppets to prevent detection by the Temple of Light or the Pars Empire’s Royal Family.
Soon, the vast Command Hall quieted down again, leaving only Leo Ray and Sean Parker, among other Combat Puppets, observing the situation inside and outside the Land of Divine Favor through magic projections.
“Lord, what are the next steps?”
Sean Parker politely saluted and respectfully inquired.
“Then let’s just wander around the Northern Territory; it won’t be long before Jasper Richardson sends word. Although the Pars Empire is vast, with Jasper Richardson’s speed and the enhancement of Magic Medicines, he could easily travel ten thousand miles in a day.”
Leo Ray pondered briefly and then instructed, “The first stop will be Silver Snow City. Since the battle at Unfallen Fortress, many Northern Territory Lords have been recuperating from injuries. It’s a good opportunity to represent the Royal Family and offer some condolences.”
Subsequently, Leo Ray visited the woman Earl Zelwini of Silver Snow City, the City Lord Chester of Iceflow City, and also inspected the living conditions of the residents in various places.
As abundant grain had long been delivered to the Northern Territory, famine was no longer present everywhere.
Amidst the snow-covered scenery, cooking smoke curled upwards, and lights flickered warmly in the sturdy homes, painting a picture of joy and harmony.
By evening, Leo Ray stood on the City Wall of Ice Armor City, surrounded by the local officials, looking at the brilliant glow of countless household lights within the city, and nodded in satisfaction.
It must be said, seeing a scene of peaceful prosperity under his control truly brought a great sense of accomplishment.
After attending a banquet held locally, Leo Ray returned to Crystal Blue City, where the Mind Talk prompting sounded as if on cue.
Upon connecting, Jasper Richardson’s clear voice came through: “Reporting to Lord, I have successfully made contact with Antonio in a quiet town on the outskirts of the Pars Imperial City!”
“Thank you for your hard work, let him speak to me.”
Leo Ray nodded slightly, sitting back in the command chair.
“Thank you immensely for your guidance, Your Excellency!”
The Mind Talk first transmitted Antonio’s voice expressing gratitude to Jasper Richardson.
Afterward, Antonio’s voice, aged and tinged with nervous respect, came through the Mind Talk: “Thank you for the call, His Royal Highness the Holy Lion. I offer my respects to the prince!”
“No need for such formality, Chief Magic Teacher.”
Leo Ray smiled slightly, maintaining a sufficient level of respect, “I have seen the content of your ice-message arrow; it’s indeed moving.”
“One must admire such resolve from the prince to easily speak of lost secret spells I researched from ancient magic books. I am deeply impressed!”
Antonio first flattered Leo Ray, then cautiously asked, “So, does the prince agree to my request and is willing to accept my change of heart?”
“For a top-tier expert like the Chief Magic Teacher, I naturally desire to have you.”
Leo Ray maintained a slight smile, responding.
“I am honored by the prince’s appreciation, overwhelmed with gratitude!”
Antonio, completely devoid of his usual arrogance, nodded and bowed, “So, does the prince agree for the elder of the Ice System to guide me?”
“Why not? If my camp can have another half-step Tier 6 expert or a true Tier 6 expert, it would be a wonderful thing, wouldn’t it?”
Leo Ray, appearing as if it were obvious, continued to respond.
“Thank you immensely for allowing this, Your Highness!”
Antonio’s voice, filled with rapture, came through immediately.
Although Leo Ray could not see the other’s appearance, judging from the voice, it’s highly likely this guy was so ecstatic that he could fly off the ground.
“However, having said that, this will naturally require some minor trials.”
Leo Ray lightly raised an eyebrow and spoke again.
