Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong - Chapter 2583: 1424: Discussion and Deployment
Capítulo 2583: Chapter 1424: Discussion and Deployment
“Old Council Leader, feel free to speak your mind.”
In the bright hall radiating Coldflame, noticing the solemnity of the Grey Elder, Leo Ray nodded slightly.
“Your Majesty, the information provided by the Seekers has indeed been invaluable to us, offering further insights into the current situation, including the Great Catastrophe, but can we truly trust their words?”
The Grey Elder’s ancient eyes revealed a hint of concern, asking, “After all, they are influenced by ‘Corrosion’, and it’s impossible to engage in mental probing.”
At these words, the other powerful figures on our side also nodded in agreement.
In fact, during the conversation with the Seekers earlier, Leo Ray had already arranged for Gideon Black, Dazhuang, and Crisis, along with two other Wood Fairy elders, to try directly extracting useful information from the Seekers’ minds by engaging in mental inquiry.
Yet the result was that the mental composition of ‘Corrosion’ was completely different from the Ten Thousand Clans, like an immovable boulder, impossible to see even a fraction.
More precisely, we couldn’t even target them for casting spells, so they likely didn’t notice or simply didn’t care.
Just after the White Knight’s departure, Gideon Black, Dazhuang, Crisis, and others had already reported back.
“The Old Council Leader’s concerns are quite valid, but let’s not forget that much of the information just now was largely anticipated by us before speaking to the Seekers; it merely served as a confirmation.”
Leo Ray nodded to the Grey Elder, smiling as he said, “Moreover, the Seekers have no reason to do so.”
Hearing Leo Ray’s response, everyone nodded thoughtfully.
The Lord has a point; there really is no need for the other side to act in such a manner. Given the current situation, if ‘Corrosion’ were to engulf everything, sheer destruction would be our only path.
As this thought crossed everyone’s mind, the atmosphere in the hall became considerably more tense, and many even appeared somewhat at a loss.
“Do you all remember the great task left by the Hero King to the Mercenary Guild back then?”
Noticing the heavy atmosphere in the hall, Leo Ray shifted his tone and continued, “The mission’s content was to find the cataclysm rift, for which the Old Council and others have traversed virtually the entire Human Domain.”
“Your Majesty, this is precisely the topic I’d like to discuss next.”
The Grey Elder lightly stroked his white beard, pondering, “Based on the information we currently hold, could this cataclysm rift be the crevice in the Magic Barrier?”
“It’s the only possibility.”
Leo Ray affirmed the Grey Elder’s words, continuing, “Although the Seekers mentioned earlier that the Magic Barrier could collapse at any time, I believe that even if it does collapse, it won’t completely lose its function, merely appearing like a gap in the City Wall, because the Magic Barrier is a creation of the Deity.”
“A creation of the Deity?! Lord, how do you know about this?”
Shirley’s fair face was full of astonishment, blurting out.
“Actually, the answer is quite simple.”
Leo Ray nodded lightly, then described his recent speculations regarding the “Prompting Voice.”
Prior to this, Leo Ray had already informed the main strong members about the Divine Revelation he had listened to, and the three questions he had posed to the “Prompting Voice,” so everyone soon understood the meaning behind Leo Ray’s words.
“So that’s how it is…was it actually the ‘Prompting Voice’ that led the Great Catastrophe? But why would that Deity do such a thing?”
Upon hearing Leo Ray’s explanation, the astonishment on Shirley’s fair face increased, and others in our group shared the same expression.
“This is something I urgently wish to know as well, for it must be linked to the truth of the Era of Blankness, but we currently lack the necessary information to speculate further.”
Leo Ray’s gaze was profound as he continued, “However, as long as we know that the crevice in the Magic Barrier, created by the ‘Prompting Voice,’ won’t completely collapse but will only appear as gaps, we can see a glimmer of hope in our struggle against ‘Corrosion.’
“Old Minister understands Your Majesty’s intention now!”
The Grey Elder nodded understandingly, agreeing, “Actually, this is very similar to Your Majesty’s earlier instructions, as long as we can find the suspected locations where the crevices might appear in the Magic Barrier, that is, the great cataclysm rift mentioned in the Hero King’s mission, fortify them heavily, or even seal the rift, we can effectively be prepared and intercept the ‘Corrosion’ that attempts to sweep across the earth!”
With these words from the Grey Elder, the other powerful figures who had not yet responded were suddenly enlightened.
Initially, facing the nearly invincible ‘Corrosion’ coming from unknown directions, everyone felt somewhat helpless.
But if what Leo Ray and the Grey Elder said can be achieved—positioning a targeted defense and concentrating forces capable of resisting ‘Corrosion,’ we would indeed have a glimmer of hope, albeit faint!
“So this was the key to the great task issued by the Ancestral Hero King.”
Ariel Watson, both excited and contemplative, said, “But Lord, the Magic Barrier is a magic restriction cast by the Deity; it’s undoubtedly divine and beyond our comprehension. Though it covers the entire land, we cannot sense it, let alone find the cracks that may appear in the future?”
“The Human Domain is vast, and just searching aimlessly would indeed be like finding a needle in a haystack, but fortunately, there are traces to follow.”
Leo Ray smiled mysteriously and began to explain, “Don’t forget how the Seekers arrived on the surface.”
