Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong
Chapter 1606 - Chapter 1606 Chapter 926 The Past of the White Knight _2

Chapter 1606: Chapter 926: The Past of the White Knight _2 Chapter 1606: Chapter 926: The Past of the White Knight _2 “However, as a result, my strength was completely restrained at Tier 5 Third Star and couldn’t improve by even the slightest bit, as if time had specifically stopped for me.”

“However, things were far from that simple.”

The White Knight’s voice was filled with solemnity as he continued, “Not long after, I further discovered that the deep blue crystal on my forehead began to spread quietly across my face.”

“At first, I only needed to cover my forehead with a headscarf, but as time went on, I switched from a headscarf to a hooded cap, until I had to disguise myself as a mercenary and wear a helmet to cover my face.”

“In just a century, the strange deep blue crystal had already covered my cheeks.”

The White Knight’s voice began to tremble again.

“At first, I tried countless methods to remove or even destroy the crystal, but all of them ended in failure, and I had to let it grow wildly day by day.”

“The feeling of being gradually eroded by an unknown substance, but being powerless against it, often caused me to wake up from nightmares. In those nightmares, that indescribable eyeball-shaped object always hovered above my sleeping head, making me recall the fear of falling into an endless abyss.”

“But when I woke up, the sight of my own clustered, increasingly strange, and stiff face, which was even emitting a faint blue light, in the mirror made me feel like it was another nightmare from which I could never wake up.”

The White Knight shook his head helplessly and gently sighed.

As the White Knight spoke up to this point, an image had already appeared in Leo Ray’s mind: a quiet bedroom in the middle of the night.

The White Knight suddenly woke up from a nightmare, sprung up from the bed like a spring, and then slowly picked up a mirror.

Reflected in the mirror was not only the horrifying strange face, but also the White Knight’s helpless and desperate eyes.

“However, even with these crystals growing wildly, other than the appearance and nightmares, they didn’t cause any other effects on me, and I eventually got used to it.”

The White Knight spoke lightly, but only he knew the agony and fear he faced each time confronting the unknown eyeball.

“Until three hundred years ago, the deep blue crystal clusters on my face had finally stopped growing, freezing in today’s appearance.”

As the White Knight spoke, a hint of regret could be heard in his voice.

“Even so, I never backed down. The only thing that made me feel regretful was one thing.”

“That is, as time went by, I changed one identity after another and traveled through most of the Coldflame Kingdom.”

“Whenever I went to a place, I would stay for a long time, learning about everything about the local area, but I never got any news about the descendants of the Loren Royal Family.”

Hearing this, Leo Ray and Sarah Shawn exchanged glances and shook their heads helplessly.

Through Sarah’s previous introduction, Leo Ray had already learned that after the destruction of the Loren Kingdom, Sarah’s ancestor who escaped from the palace had gone through hardships and wanderings until they settled in the Orchid Federation in the far east of the Human countries. They later moved to Darkshire in the Saint Night Kingdom.

Whether it was one place or the other, both were not within the territory of the Coldflame Kingdom, so it was no wonder that the White Knight couldn’t find any clues.

“After another extremely long two hundred years, I had visited all the cities, rivers, and mountains in the Coldflame Kingdom, explored every possible hidden location and ancient relics, but I still gained nothing.”

“It was when I was disheartened and didn’t know what to do that I happened to encounter His Majesty King Ironarm, who was out hunting.”

“During my time in the Coldflame Kingdom, I witnessed the rule of successive Coldflame Monarchs and the cycle of the Coldflame Kingdom’s strength, decline, and rise again.”

“After the Heroic King, there were wise rulers like Holy Queen Sofia, Sage King Ebner, Rose Queen Ester, Lion Roar King Alfred, and many others.”

“There were also less wise rulers like Lost Land King, Long Leg King, and Mad King, whose reigns varied from long to short, with some lasting only a few days before meeting their unfortunate demise.”

“King Steel-wrist Bardet, however, belonged to the former category. He not only successfully subdued the entire Northern Territory but also improved the already decayed Coldflame Kingdom, at least on the surface. This was a great achievement that none of the previous Coldflame Monarchs could accomplish.”Respect shone through the White Knight’s voice.

“It’s precisely because I happened to meet His Majesty King Ironarm and received his promise to aid me in finding the descendants of the Lorren Royal Family that I decided to take up my lance and fight for this land once again.”

“But even the once mighty His Majesty King Ironarm’s robust body could not withstand the erosion of time. He began to grow hunched and bent until he finally turned into the state he’s in today, plunging the Coldflame Kingdom back into war and chaos.”

The White Knight sighed quietly, then saluted Leo Ray by placing his hand on his chest: “My lord, this is my past.”

After listening to the White Knight’s words, the hall was silent.

Everyone seemed to touch upon the long river of history formed by the gathering of thousands of years, savoring the magnificent waves within.

At the same time, they could also feel the unknown and curious allure of the mysterious blue crystals still adorning the White Knight’s face.

After a while, Leo Ray slowly took a deep breath and said with determination, “White Knight, rest assured, one day I will help you uncover the secret of the deep blue crystal, and everything will be revealed.”

“Thank you so much, my lord!”

The White Knight’s voice was full of excitement, kneeling on one knee and performing a standard knight’s salute to Leo Ray: “I believe that with my lord’s help, we can definitely uncover its mysteries!”

“I will do my best.”

Leo Ray nodded slightly, bending down to help the White Knight up.

At this point, the current situation couldn’t be more evident.

It was because of this mysterious deep blue crystal that the White Knight not only gained an extraordinary lifespan but also a substantial increase in his recovery abilities.

It would not be surprising if the previous No. 7 Black-robed Person’s lethal attack had failed to kill the White Knight due to this reason.

“Judging from the White Knight’s words, these crystals are part of that unknown creature.”

“As for whether this is merely a sequela of healing the body or something else entirely, we cannot currently ascertain.”

“But what we can be sure of is that these crystals are a result of the agreement between the White Knight and the unknown creature, with the White Knight agreeing to pay a price.”

“Perhaps this can be used as an opportunity to more quickly uncover the secrets behind that unknown creature.”

With these thoughts in mind, Leo Ray nodded thoughtfully.

“No matter, it’s still too early for me to think about these matters. For now, I’ll continue to lead my subordinates through the upcoming tasks.”

Making up his mind, Leo Ray waved his hand and smiled to his subordinates, who were still immersed in the White Knight’s narrative: “Alright, the grand celebration banquet has started. Tonight, everyone can let loose and enjoy the food to their heart’s content.”

“As you wish, my lord!”

All the subordinates saluted in unison.

Among them, the reunited Foodie Trio – Scarlett, Bianca White, and Red Night, with their flushed, fair faces, looked extremely excited and showed no signs of having already been on a food tour with Leo Ray all over the place.

Afterward, in the grand celebration hall of Ferro Castle, Leo Ray and Ariel Watson delivered their routine speeches, further boosting the morale of the soldiers.

Leo Ray’s generous rewards and commendations lit up the soldiers’ eyes, each and every one of them itching to show their strength and couldn’t wait to embark on a new adventure.

Not until late into the night did Leo Ray and his main subordinates return to his territory, ending the time of toasting and feasting.

“Next, is it time to topple Harrison from his position as head of the family? That’s quite an exciting prospect.”

With these thoughts, Leo Ray walked into the Lord’s Suite with Ariel Watson.
