Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong

Chapter 1426: Chapter 835: Vid’s Memories (Part 1)_2 Chapter 1426: Chapter 835: Vid’s Memories (Part 1)_2 “Everyone, don’t be surprised. Even with the help of the Magic Computer, it took me and my subordinates more than ten years of repeated calculations to finally find a way to force our entry into the Gate of Wandering.”

As he spoke, the pride on Vid’s determined face was soon replaced by a bitter smile and a helpless shake of his head.

“But what I did not expect was that although it was easy to enter Gate of Wandering, trying to leave this Barrier Area through calculations was even more difficult than ascending to the sky and cannot be compared to the calculations required for entering.”

Hearing Vid’s words, Leo Ray rubbed his chin and asked, “So, Trainmaster, you haven’t found the [Divine Stone] here, have you?”

Leo Ray clearly understood that, as Sarah had said,

After entering the Gate of Truth, the only way to leave was to pass the trial and obtain the [Divine Stone] stored here. There is no other way.

Hence, the answer was self-evident.

“That’s right, just as Your Excellency said, even though I forced my way in the Gate of Wandering, I couldn’t locate the exact position of the [Divine Stone], which is why I’ve been trapped here unable to leave.”

Vid sighed and shook his head, mocking himself. “Perhaps this is the punishment I received for forcibly intruding into this land created by God.”

“Unable to find any clues about the [Divine Stone], I had no choice but to rely on the train and the stored food in the storage space. With my subordinates, we raced against time to calculate the spatial coordinates to leave this place, but it’s always been out of reach.”

“During this process, I almost explored the entire Barrier Area and found that besides water, there was no other life or any edible plants. Even the planted crops couldn’t take root and sprout.”

“Day by day, year by year, with food becoming increasingly scarce, I made the decision early on to have my subordinates take turns entering the Life Sustaining Box and perform precise calculations with the real world, so as to minimize food consumption.”

“But after nearly a century of effort, we still got nothing. The only change was that more and more subordinates entered the Life Sustaining Box, and the atmosphere of discontent and despair grew thicker.”

Vid’s resolute face was full of sorrow as he continued to describe.

“When we were completely out of food, I laid down warning devices on the ground with my last subordinates, and then entered the cold Life Sustaining Box.”

“Although I restored the Magic Computer’s performance within the realm of the train to the greatest extent, it could only exert one-tenth of the abilities of a real Magic Computer.”

“However, my subordinates and I never gave up hope, trying to calculate the spatial coordinates to leave this place within the realm of the train before our body suffered irreversible damage. But the final result is obvious.”

Vid’s sorrowful expression deepened as he bitterly smiled at Leo Ray, “In the end, my subordinates and I couldn’t even distinguish between reality and illusion until your arrival.”

“I understand completely.”

After hearing Vid’s description, Leo Ray nodded in sudden enlightenment.

Thus, the origin of this train and dwarf elves, as well as everything about the town on the surface, was understood.

“But I didn’t expect that the dwarf elves didn’t find any trace of the [Divine Stone] in the end, which is a bit problematic.”

At this thought, Leo Ray seemed to remember something and asked, “Trainmaster Vid, was your initial purpose of forcefully entering the Gate of Wandering also for the [Divine Stone] here? Do you already have a [Divine Stone] in your possession?”

“To be honest, Your Excellency, I don’t have any other [Divine Stone].”

Vid took a moment to adjust his emotions and then answered truthfully, “The reason I was able to learn about the [Divine Stone] was because of the information from the Era of Blankness.”

“The Era of Blankness?”Hearing this mysterious term that had been lingering in his heart, Leo Ray hesitated for a moment and tentatively asked, “Trainmaster, are you a survivor of the Era of Blankness?!”

“Yes, but rather than a survivor, it’s more accurate to say I’m a lost one.”

Vid shook his head helplessly and replied, “Because I have almost lost all my memories of the time before the era of blankness.”

“Just like Leah, have you really lost all memories of the blank era?”

Leo Ray frowned and nodded, but his heart was still filled with excitement. This was the first outsider from the Era of Blankness he had met, other than the divine servants like Leah in the Land of Divine Favor!

“Trainmaster, what do you remember about the Era of Blankness? Even the smallest details will help.”

Leo Ray didn’t hesitate and immediately asked.

Leo Ray understood clearly that even trivial details could serve as small fragments to bring him one step closer to the truth of the Era of Blankness!

“Your Excellency, the only thing I remember is the majestic dwarf elf royal capital that was shattered into ice, the unforgettable chill, and the endless fear spreading in my heart.”

Vid gripped the armrest of his chair, his voice trembling: “Other than that, I can’t remember anything. I don’t know who destroyed us or how the dwarf elves offended this terrifying enemy, leading to our annihilation.”

As he spoke, Vid’s lips began to turn purple, as if recalling the deep-rooted fear from that time: “When I woke up again, I found that the once-prosperous royal capital of the dwarf elves and many of its affiliated cities had vanished as if they had evaporated into thin air.”

“Completely vanished? That’s terrifying… But even if they were destroyed, there should be some traces left, right?”

Hearing Vid’s words, Ariel Watson beside Leo Ray was surprised, almost unable to believe her own ears.

Pausing for a moment, Ariel seemed to think of something and blurted out, “Could it be because of that?!”

“Yes, it is the ‘Dislocation Effect’.”

Leo Ray spoke the answer in Ariel’s heart with certainty, “Since the Ancient Ship and Titan Clan Ruins could appear out of nowhere in places they don’t belong, it’s only natural for the ruins of the dwarf elves to vanish completely. They must have been hidden in some unknown place.”

“So, Your Excellency, you call this situation the ‘Dislocation Effect’? Indeed, it’s very apt.”

Vid nodded thoughtfully and continued, “After that, as a member of the dwarf elf royal family, my elder brother and I gathered the surviving dwarf elves and built a new dwarf elf kingdom in a place far away from the old royal capital.”

“But compared to the dwarf elf kingdom at its peak during the Era of Blankness, the newly established kingdom is obviously incomparable.”

“In this dire state of weakness, we, who were already weak, suffered numerous plunder and enslavement from other surviving foreign races, until my research institute, which I led, developed a new energy source called Magic Energy as a substitute for magic on a certain level. Only then did things slowly begin to improve.”

Hearing Vid’s words, Leo Ray nodded thoughtfully.

The Magic Energy he mentioned was naturally the steam that Leo Ray was familiar with.

“However, while I was intensively researching magic steam technology, my brother, who was the king, kept hearing a strange, emotionless voice.”

Vid’s eyes, filled with crow’s feet, became unfocused as he fell into his memories: “It was that voice, which my brother called the ‘Whispers of the Devil,’ that ultimately led me to decide to find [Divine Stone].”

“Oh? How so?”

Leo Ray’s face revealed a hint of curiosity as he continued to listen intently.
