Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong - Chapter 2825: 1548: Listening and Doubts (Part 2)

Capítulo 2825: Chapter 1548: Listening and Doubts (Part 2)

Moli cleared her throat and spoke with hands on her hips: “In the end, what we want is for Your Majesty to help remove the ‘corrosion’, right? This is precisely what we excel at!”

Having gone through the arduous battle in Observation City and armed with the Divine Stone weapon given by Leo Ray, she now felt like an expert in combating the ‘corrosion’.

“The Pink Hooded Cap’s words indeed bring reassurance, but things aren’t that simple.”

Lila’s fair face showed a more helpless smile, shaking her head: “What troubles us isn’t only the ‘corrosion’, but also a mysterious city that appeared alongside the ‘corrosion’.”

“A mysterious city appearing with the ‘corrosion’?”

Upon hearing this, Leo Ray’s face immediately showed curiosity, nodding for the other to continue.

Although he had learned quite a bit about the magical ley lines eruption and ‘corrosion’, the mysterious city appearing with the ‘corrosion’ was undoubtedly unheard of.

“To be honest with Your Majesty of the Humans, after evacuating people from around, we immediately went to the sudden Rift Valley’s interior to assess the situation. Although we lack the capacity to fend off the ‘corrosion’, we possess some means to contain it, enough to restrain its actions briefly.”

Lila opened a reception hall in the castle hallway and invited Leo Ray’s group inside while continuing, “When we reached the deepest part of the Rift Valley, we found a large city we had never seen before standing there.”

“Even more astonishing was that the city was actually fighting against the ‘corrosion’!”

Lila’s beautiful eyes appeared slightly dazed, clearly recalling the scene at that time: “Being struck by surprise, we wanted to go further to investigate but were blocked by an unknown barrier, which after long attempts to bypass, in vain, we could only return helplessly.”

“Is there really such a thing?”

Moli’s delicate face, hidden under the pink hood, was full of surprise, and she mused: “It’s absolutely impossible for a city to appear through magical ley lines. This means the city was originally standing there?”

“That’s what we think as well. It seems the Rift Valley’s appearance allowed us to discover that city, originally hidden underground.”

Lila nodded heavily, confirming Moli’s guess.

“What kind of city is it?”

Moli’s curiosity grew stronger, she pursued further.

“We can only be sure that it is not a Stone Giant’s city because the scale is inconsistent, it is of regular size.”

Lila first gave the highest seat in the room to Leo Ray, and then responded: “The city’s light is extremely limited, and we blocked outside the barrier cannot cast lighting magic; even night vision magic lost its effectiveness, so we could not identify its identity.”

“What’s more, they even told us to get out, saying that place is their territory!”

Kira added in a slightly headless and angry manner.

“Your Majesty of the Humans, here’s the situation.”

Lila resumed the narrative and supplemented, “Upon discovering the sudden, unknown city, we returned the next day, still blocked by the barrier. This time the city was no longer battling the ‘corrosion’, but an old, deep voice said we had invaded their territory, and urged us to leave.”

Upon hearing this, Leo Ray couldn’t help but exchange glances with Fei’er and other strong partners, seeing a touch of doubt in each other’s eyes.

Though Lila stated it somewhat diplomatically, from the overall description it wasn’t hard to deduce, the location was not far from this Royal Court, evidently belonging to Stone Giant territory, certainly not possibly holding another force.

Therefore, regardless of the unknown city’s origin or being able to battle the ‘corrosion’, it was undeniably strikingly curious.

“Then what happened?”

Leo Ray settled in the highest seat, watched Lila who was serving refreshments.

“Returning to Your Majesty of the Humans, the proximity of that location to the Royal Court is undeniable; naturally, we could not possibly sit by watching such uncertain factors arise.”

Lila neatly arranged several exquisite cakes before Leo Ray and responded: “However, no matter what means we employed, even gathering the strongest Tier 5 armies for a joint attack, we could not budge the barrier even a bit. Fortunately, the other side did not confront us further; otherwise, a fierce battle would likely ensue.”

Lila’s white forehead was beginning to slicken with sweat as she spoke this point.

The most crucial aspect being they didn’t even know the true identity of the counterpart nor their specific strength. Acting so hastily under such circumstances, it became apparent it was extremely inappropriate.

But again, that place is so close to here, how could they not feel distressingly uneasy?

“Helplessly, we have only stationed a few legions there, establishing several temporary fortresses, monitoring their every move constantly.”

Lila gathered her thoughts, lowering her brows towards Leo Ray: “Until now, we still have no way to deal with them, thus brought everything to Your Majesty.”

“Please, Your Majesty, act on behalf of us Stone Giants!”

Finishing off, Lila and her companions respectfully held their chests, saluting in unison towards Leo Ray.

“Do not worry, now that I know of this, I certainly won’t sit idly by.”

Leo Ray nodded slightly, nodding at the three.

However, despite saying this on the surface, deep down Leo Ray felt completely uncertain.

Bear in mind, that unknown city that even to second-tier powers’ Stone Giant couldn’t do a thing against, while he just recently stepped into the second-tier powers’ threshold, he fundamentally lacks sufficient confidence.

But it’s certain that, if he could aid Lila and others in resolving this issue, it would be an excellent opportunity for him to gain higher reputation among the Stone Giants.

“Speaking of which, if I went but still couldn’t breach their barrier, that would be more than awkward.”

Leo Ray laughed helplessly in his heart, suddenly remembered something, and asked Lila: “Since the tracks of ‘corrosion’ have been discovered, has the Erosion Eraser shown up? Have they broken the barrier or contacted the mysterious city?”

“Returning to Your Majesty of the Humans, we all thought of that, yet did not find any trace of Erosion Eraser.”

Lila shook her head, responded: “I only know that after the initial magical ley lines gush, that territory has experienced several follow-up small-scale eruptions, all blocked by the mysterious city, never has there been a sign of Erosion Eraser intervening.”

“Strange that, that audacious group of Erosion Erasers even dared to trespass into my… into first-class forces’ territory yet ignored that place?”

Moli’s voice was full of puzzlement, confused: “Such is indeed unheard of.”

“Agreed, we also find it very peculiar, yet it’s certain the Erosion Eraser must have discovered the place; after all, not long ago they left traces at our junction with the Stone Giants.”

Lila nodded, her beautiful eyes also showed puzzlement.

Judging from previous similar situations, Erosion Eraser always arrived first to solve all ‘corrosion’.

And this time the only difference was that sudden, unknown city.

“Is it possible the Erosion Eraser also cannot break that barrier?”

Moli pondered for a moment, musing.

“Unless that barrier is sturdier than those of first-class forces standing among the Ten Thousand Clans at the peak.”

Leo Ray lightly raised a brow, then stood from his seat, stating: “Talking more here is but speculation, let’s go on site for an actual investigation, perhaps we might soon uncover the secret of that unknown city.”
