Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong
Chapter 1102 - Chapter 1102 Chapter 673 Lord and Illusionist_2

Chapter 1102: Chapter 673: Lord and Illusionist_2 Chapter 1102: Chapter 673: Lord and Illusionist_2 As she thought about it more and more shockingly, Brocade Winthrop, who had furrowed her brows, took another deep breath of the still bloody-scented evening breeze and then said, “Since Your Excellency is that popular Princess’s guest official, what business do you have with me?”

“Very simple, I have an unreasonable request.”

Leo Ray, who still maintained a faint smile after keenly noticing the subtle emotional fluctuations on Brocade Winthrop’s face, replied, “That is, I hope that you won’t help out when the White Knight attacks Ariel Watson and me, that’s all.”

“What? Your Excellency, are you insulting me with this?”

Hearing this unexpected reply, a touch of anger surged onto Brocade Winthrop’s fair cheeks.

She then coldly said, “Although you helped General White repel the Saint Night Army, preventing a catastrophe and earning my admiration, this request is a bit too fanciful, isn’t it?”

With the end of her words, the anger on Brocade Winthrop’s face became more obvious.

Despite having developed some goodwill and even anticipation towards Princess Ariel, whom she originally didn’t care much about, and this guest official after the news of the Mountain Fortress Defense Battle, her feelings were nothing compared to those of the other three princes who werefighting at all costs, making Princess Ariel appear like an angel in comparison.

However, she was still standing on the opposite side, so such a blunt proposal was undoubtedly a great offense to her.

Moreover, since they had this suggestion, they must be wary of her illusions; maybe, they were not as strong as they seemed and it was still unknown.

“Indeed, it is a very excessive request. Perhaps from your perspective, I made such a move because I am wary of your abilities, right?”

Leo Ray slowly withdrew the smile from his face and turned serious, “On the contrary, since I could appear in front of you in person, it means that I have the ability to easily send you to your death.”

“So, the reason why I had Olivia call you out wasn’t out of fear but admiration.”

“Of course, there is another reason – someone else also admires you very much.”

With these words, Leo Ray clapped his hands lightly.

Accompanied by the “creaking” sound of the wooden door opening, the gate of the transfer station not far away was opened.

Wearing a petite crown, Princess Ariel, accompanied by Burt, Joshua, Gideon Black, Scarlett, Lina, and Red Night, walked out slowly.

“Your servant pays her respects to Your Highness the Princess!”

Upon seeing Ariel’s figure, Brocade Winthrop, though on the side of the Great Prince, still knelt on one knee and bowed her head deeply.

After all, Ariel represented the Coldflame Royal Family itself, and as the inheritance of the throne was not yet determined, this little princess of Coldflame also had the right to inherit the throne.

“Lady Brocade Winthrop, there’s no need to be so formal. Your illusion disguises are still as exquisite as ever.”

Ariel nodded, elegantly smiled and said, “I hope that calling you out this time has not made you feel uncomfortable.”

“Your Highness is too kind.”

Brocade Winthrop got up, her face showing another trace of surprise.

Before Ariel was forced to leave the royal capital, she was still at the Tier 3 Peak. She didn’t expect that it hadn’t been long before she had successfully broken through to the Tier 4 Level.

The reason for this terrifying breakthrough speed was naturally self-evident.

Brocade Winthrop first glanced at Leo Ray with apparent reverence and then focused her gaze on the other main subordinates.

“Aside from this young guest official, Princess Ariel, Giant Axe General Burt, and Holy Light General Joshua, there are also three Tier 4 Powerhouses, right?”

As her eyes wandered, Brocade Winthrop’s gaze finally fell on the tall and emotionless figure of Red Night.

An inexplicable bone-chilling cold rose from the bottom of Brocade Winthrop’s heart.

“Judging from the aura she emits, she far surpasses Tier 4 Peak Powerhouses… Could it be that she is the rumored Tier 5 Powerhouse?”

At this thought, Brocade Winthrop’s fair throat unconsciously rolled a bit.

“Alright, let’s get back to the topic.”Leo Ray gave a faint smile and continued, “Master Brocade Winthrop, as you can see, Princess Ariel and I indeed have some abilities, but I must also tell you that this is not all we possess. I still have some unexpected powers at my disposal.”

What Leo Ray referred to were Taylor and his other subordinates who were still hidden in the shadows.

In order to be prepared for all possibilities, Leo Ray did not expose the full strength of his territory, as there was no need to do so.

Before deciding to meet with Brocade Winthrop, Leo Ray was clear about his intentions.

Although Brocade Winthrop’s character and rare power were perfectly in line with Leo Ray’s recruitment requirements,

it wasn’t entirely necessary. If Brocade Winthrop insisted on opposing Leo Ray, then they would have no choice but to kill him on the spot.

As for the possibility of Brocade Winthrop pretending to comply, Leo Ray had also considered this.

It was almost an open secret that the territory had a Tier 5 powerhouse, so even if Brocade Winthrop turned around and told the White Knight about the situation, Leo Ray would not suffer any losses.

On the contrary, it would give Leo Ray an opportunity to resolve to eliminate Brocade Winthrop.

“I guess this is what they mean by being eager to recruit talent in the TV dramas I’ve seen,” Leo Ray thought to himself with a wry smile.

“According to Ariel and Olivia, Brocade Winthrop’s greatest hobby in life is exploring ancient ruins. That’s the breakthrough I’m going to use to woo him,” Leo Ray thought to himself before changing the subject. “Master Brocade Winthrop, I know the Great Prince has promised you many benefits, but perhaps Ariel and I can match them.”

After saying this, Leo Ray went on to give a detailed description of the situation when they explored the petrified barrier region of the Winged People in Mystara City.

Of course, he omitted crucial information such as the time, location, and characters involved.

“The Sky Island in the ancient barrier region? The petrified Winged Race from the Era of Blankness? The hive-like white tower of the Winged Race? The Winged Race council at the top of the tower? The barrier core of the Winged Race beneath the tower?”

Listening to Leo Ray’s vivid descriptions, Brocade Winthrop’s pale face was suddenly filled with uncontrollable curiosity, completely captivated.

Even after Leo Ray finished speaking, Brocade Winthrop was still fascinated, looking like a child listening to a bedtime story, his face full of eager expectation for more.

“Master Brocade Winthrop, if you agree not to participate in the attack on Ariel and me this time, I will personally escort you to the ruins for free exploration once this matter is settled,” Leo Ray said as he raised his eyebrows and added another sentence at the appropriate moment.

“Your Excellency, are you… are you telling the truth?” Brocade Winthrop, who had already switched to using respectful language, quickly asked with delight.

In fact, there were two main reasons why Brocade Winthrop agreed to join the Great Prince’s alliance.

The first was the establishment of a relief fund by the Royal Family to help helpless civilians, which was just a worldly benefit, as previously mentioned to the White Knight.

The second and most critical reason was that they were granted priority to explore any newly discovered ruins within the Coldflame Kingdom’s borders in the future!

Just now, the young man’s detailed description of the Winged People’s barrier region piqued Brocade Winthrop’s interest.

In many minor details, only a senior scholar like Brocade Winthrop could understand the nuances.

From this, it was impossible for Leo Ray to describe the situation so comprehensively without witnessing it in person!

n addition, Brocade Winthrop didn’t actually appreciate the Great Prince’s demeanor, but in these chaotic times, it was better to take shelter under a big tree.

“Absolutely true,” Leo Ray assured Brocade Winthrop with a smile as he saw the man’s expression visibly soften.

“Respected Mr. Lane, but then again, this war will determine the life and death of you and Princess Ariel. Even if I don’t take action, are you so confident in your victory?” Brocade Winthrop’s eyebrows furrowed as she continued, “I don’t mean to sound rude, but if you and Princess Ariel are defeated, not only would I gain nothing, but I would also offend the Crown Prince.”
