Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong - Chapter 2972 1624: Doubts and Questions_2

Leo Ray was thinking this as he exchanged glances with the powerful individuals around him who also harbored doubts.

Especially Glen, the Grand Elder of the Moon Shadow Deer People, who were extremely sensitive to illusions. Coupled with the fact that Glen’s strength had reached half-step Tier 7, he could detect even the slightest anomaly, even in a demigod-level illusion realm.

However, Glen shook his head at Leo Ray helplessly, evidently finding nothing.

The Stone Spirit, Little Illusion, also gave Leo Ray a negative answer through telepathy. Though she was still at the peak of Tier 5, she was already halfway into Tier 6.

In addition, Sheila and the other Stone Spirits still couldn’t detect the presence of any unfamiliar Stone Spirits; even though the energy flow here was extremely chaotic, if any unfamiliar Stone Spirits made a move, Sheila and the others would definitely notice a hint.

“So, this isn’t a trial by the Stone Spirits, nor an illusion? Then what on earth is going on?”

After fruitlessly pondering this in his heart repeatedly, Leo Ray took a deep breath and walked up to the Elf Village Chief and Anna.

At present, the only way might be to obtain further information from them to unravel this series of mysteries.

“Your Majesty of the Humans, this juice is really delicious! It’s one of the most prized specialties of our Qiongguang Village!”

Seeing Leo Ray approaching with a wooden cup, Anna cheerfully hopped up to him and exclaimed excitedly, “Quick, taste it, how does it taste?”

“I tried it just now, it’s indeed very good.”

Leo Ray smiled slightly and replied.

As things were still unclear, Leo Ray naturally wouldn’t casually consume the things here, nor would the other powerful individuals. After the previous experience with the Starfall Sect, even Moli kept her mouth shut this time.

“That’s good! This vegetable pie is also very nice, Your Majesty of the Humans should try it as well!”

Anna then brought over a plate of fragrant elf food, offering it to Leo Ray.

“Thank you, I’m not hungry at the moment.”

Leo Ray maintained a faint smile, slightly waving his hand.

“But it won’t taste good once it gets cold!”

Anna’s starry eyes seemed full of sincerity and urgency, still holding the plate.

“Anna, while hospitality is our principle, we can’t force it on others.”

Just as Leo Ray was about to continue declining, the Elf Village Chief came over and shook his head at Anna.

Hearing this, Anna had to give up with some dejection, standing obediently to the side.

“Apologies, Your Majesty of the Humans, this girl has just never seen outsiders before, so she’s a bit excited.”

The Elf Village Chief, whose old face was covered with wrinkles, apologized sincerely to Leo Ray.

“Your Excellency the Village Chief is too kind, it’s just that we just finished eating before coming here, thus regrettably missing out on your hospitality.”

Leo Ray nodded to the Elf Village Chief, finding an excuse to prevent embarrassment on both sides.

“It’s nothing, Your Majesty of the Humans, we’re already very happy that you could visit Qiongguang Village.”

The Elf Village Chief waved a hand quickly, smiling as he said, “As for the food, if it’s not to your taste, I can have our people make it again.”

“Your Excellency the Village Chief misunderstood, we are indeed not hungry right now.”

Leo Ray kept his faint smile, then turned the topic, “May I ask Your Excellency the Village Chief, are you the only Light Elves here?”

“Your Majesty of the Humans is correct, only we have lived here for generations.”

The Elf Village Chief’s old face was extremely sincere as he responded, “But on the other side of the village, a lot of giant statues have inexplicably appeared, and we don’t know what’s going on.”

“A lot of giant statues appeared inexplicably?”

Moli, who had been beside Leo Ray, leaned in with curiosity, “Your Excellency the Village Chief, are these statues the ones that are ten meters tall and holding giant axes like knights?”

“Indeed, exactly those.”

The Elf Village Chief seemed to have no reservations towards Moli, a Forest Spirit, and responded without hesitation.

After speaking, his old face showed worry again as he said, “We don’t know when those giant statues appeared there, and sometimes they even move places inexplicably, exuding an overwhelming and terrifying aura, always making us anxious and fearful.”

Hearing this, Leo Ray nodded thoughtfully.

With Moli’s confirmation, it was clear that the statues in question were the ones they encountered in the hall not long ago, likely part of the Stone Spirit trial.

However, compared to the Stone Spirit trial, I feel that this ancient Light Elf village, filled with contradictions, is much more mysterious and enigmatic.

“More information must be gathered quickly.”

Thinking this in his heart, Leo Ray spoke again to the Elf Village Chief, “Your Excellency the Village Chief, we also saw those statues when we arrived, in the hall next to the garden. Haven’t you been there?”

After Leo Ray mentioned this, the previously bustling Reception Hall suddenly fell silent, with every Light Elf present looking at Leo Ray with a cryptic expression, no different from Anna’s earlier.

“Everyone, don’t be alarmed, how could Your Majesty of the Humans know our taboo just after arriving?”

After a moment of silence, the Elf Village Chief spoke to the other Light Elves, then turned to Leo Ray, awkwardly smiling, “Apologies, Your Majesty of the Humans, what you saw at the village center and the hall you mentioned are forbidden grounds for us, places absolutely off-limits.”

“I see, it seems I was a bit presumptuous, please forgive me.”

Upon hearing this, a thoughtful gleam passed through Leo Ray’s eyes.

The hall was mentioned on purpose because it’s the exit to the outside world.

If the hall is also a forbidden zone, it seems to imply that someone intentionally doesn’t want these Light Elves to know about the outside world or even return to it.

Then the question arises, who exactly forbids the Light Elves from returning to the outside world? Or more importantly, what is the reason for their stay here?

“It seems the problem definitely lies in the taboo grounds at the center of the village, I must find out what is inside.”

Thinking this internally, Leo Ray asked with some concern, “Your Excellency the Village Chief, you mentioned that the statues have moved positions before. Could they be coveting the center’s forbidden ground?”

The reason Leo Ray asked this was to gain more clues about the forbidden ground.

Since it is the taboo area of these Light Elves, directly inquiring wouldn’t glean straightforward answers.

“Rest assured, Your Majesty of the Humans, those statues may covet our forbidden ground, but they pose no threat, even if they seem immovably strong, far surpassing our capabilities.”

The Elf Village Chief’s old face exuded confidence as he calmly said to Leo Ray.

“It seems something remarkable is indeed sealed there, as if it’s protecting the entire village. But then, what is the purpose of its presence here? Could it really be for sacrifice?”

Leo Ray nodded slightly, seemingly casually asking, “Your Excellency the Village Chief, do you know what happened in the outside world?”

“The outside is, of course, also the domain of us Light Elves. Now, it’s the Silver Moon Era— the pinnacle of the Ten Thousand Clans, so what could have occurred?”

The Elf Village Chief’s old eyes showed a hint of confusion as he said, “Your Majesty of the Humans’ question is quite perplexing.”

Upon hearing his words, Leo Ray’s brows faintly furrowed almost imperceptibly.

The real enigma lies with these ancient Light Elves, not being aware of the Era of Blankness? Not knowing what has transpired in the outside world?

Even if they haven’t left here since the Blank Era, wouldn’t they find it odd that no external tribe members have come here?

As Leo Ray was pondering, something even more unbelievable happened.
