Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong
Chapter 1749 - Chapter 1749 Chapter 998 Solemnity in the Reception Room_2

Chapter 1749: Chapter 998: Solemnity in the Reception Room_2 Chapter 1749: Chapter 998: Solemnity in the Reception Room_2 So if possible, Leo Ray naturally wished to save the elderly king; after all, Ariel Watson’s father was advanced in years and was most fond of her, posing no threat to the Territory.

Speaking of which, the Master Clifford mentioned by Bryan Nelsen just now was the same talented Master Alchemist Leo Ray had seen at the beginning in Golin City.

Because most Alchemists skilled in crafting Healing Magic Potions are well-versed in pharmacology, and since such potions are not omnipotent, it’s not surprising.

As for Lord Sewen, the Chief Light Bishop, he came from the Temple of Light’s branch in Coldflame Kingdom.

As one of the famous neutral organizations among Human various countries that had saved them numerous times, the influence of the Temple of Light hardly needs mentioning.

Even the Coldflame Kingdom, with its limited number of followers, had tens of churches and prayer halls in various places; and the branch in the Royal Capital was the power center managing these churches, small and large.

These churches contributed a significant number of Light Priests to the Royal Family and the nobility annually, making their status extremely important.

And the Chief Light Bishop Sewen, the head of the Coldflame branch, was undoubtedly the foremost among the Coldflame Kingdom’s priests, with unquestionable healing abilities.

“It is said that the devout Archbishop Siven’s strength is at Tier 5 Seven-star, truly qualifying as the strongest cleric-class powerhouse of the Coldflame King.”

Leo Ray pondered this and nodded his head thoughtfully.

At this stage, although his understanding of substantial neutral organizations standing above various royal families, like the Temple of Light, the Alchemist Guild, and the Mercenary Guild, was limited,

He could be sure that their combined strength was not inferior to the highest echelons of power in any kingdom, even stronger; this could be inferred from the power of Archbishop Siven.

“Even this skilled Tier 5 Archbishop is at a loss?”

Seeing that Ariel Watson’s emotions had gradually stabilized, Leo Ray pondered for a moment and then turned to Bryan Nelsen to ask, “Have they discovered what exactly is wrong with the Old King?”

“I hate to inform you, Mr. Lane, but that is precisely the most problematic issue at the moment.”

Bryan Nelsen sighed deeply, shaking his head helplessly, “Even Lord Sewen has not uncovered the root cause of His Majesty’s unrousable coma, and various powerful Healing Techniques and Healing Magic Potions are completely ineffective, so we are at a loss where to start.”

“So, that’s how it is, unable to devise a targeted treatment?”

Leo Ray gently stroked his chin, his brows furrowing tighter.

The difficulty of a matter that neither the royal family nor the branch Archbishop could resolve was obvious, and yet it was exceedingly peculiar.

With these thoughts in his heart, Leo Ray then voiced the question that had long puzzled him, “Mr. Nelsen, how likely do you think it is that this was done deliberately?”

“Almost certainly.”

Bryan Nelsen nodded decisively and seriously said, “In recent years, although the Old King’s health has declined day by day, weakening his strength, he has remained in robust health. With the daily adjustments and checks by the court pharmacists, there have never been any issues.”

“Until that day, the Old King suddenly fell into a coma, as if subjected to some unknown spell or curse.”

Bryan Nelsen’s voice became more somber as he continued, “So I believe, none of this is coincidental; it’s premeditated.”

“Premeditated?!”

Ariel Watson’s starry eyes filled with surprise, finding it unbelievable, “But the royal palace’s security is extremely tight, not even a fly could get in, and at the time, Father was surrounded by strong protectors including Uncle Wilson and the White Knight. How did the perpetrator manage to get to Father?”

“Princess, what you say is very true. Ordinary criminals naturally wouldn’t be capable of such acts.”

Bryan Nelsen also stood up from his seat, his ancient flame robe seeming to turn a deeper shade of red.

He clenched his fists and said word for word, “But there is a despicable force that might easily accomplish this.”

“That would be what we call the Mysterious Organization, the Black Abyss Brotherhood.”

Leo Ray articulated what was on Bryan Nelsen’s mind, taking over the conversation, “As for their motives, it is all too clear–to plunge Coldflame Kingdom into a vortex of power struggle, then seize the opportunity to elevate the Second Prince to power, ultimately achieving control over Coldflame Kingdom.”

“Putting it like that, everything seems to connect.”

Ariel Watson also stood up and walked over to Leo Ray, furrowing her brows, “Looking at the results, although Fourth Brother assimilated both the eldest and the second, emerging as our final opponent, that was after the first and second were consecutively defeated by us, leaving them with depleted forces.”

“If we consider just the power levels, undoubtedly it was the initially concealed Second Brother who had the absolute advantage in strength. With the cruel methods of the Black Abyss Brotherhood, the eventual defeat of the eldest and Fourth Brother would hardly involve any suspense.”

Ariel’s eyebrows twisted into knots as she gritted her teeth, “These damn people, so they’re the real culprits!”

“The Princess’s analysis is very thorough, only they didn’t expect to encounter Mr. Lane, this unforeseen variable.”

Bryan Nelsen nodded, continuing, “Due to Mr. Lane’s arrival, their plan was completely disrupted, leading to their loss of forces, and ultimately they had to abandon their plot to seize the throne.”

“But I still don’t understand one thing: given the Black Abyss Brotherhood’s vindictive nature, why did they disappear without a trace after the battle in Galaxy City, never to appear again?”

Ariel furrowed her brows deep in thought, pacing slowly in the room, her boots clicking with a “tap tap” sound, puzzled, “This does not fit their usual modus operandi.”

“Your Highness, the answer is quite simple.”

Bryan Nelsen’s usually calm voice contained a few more notes of solemnity, stating firmly, “That means they must have something more important that requires their attention, and they simply can’t afford to focus on us for the time being.”

“My view is the same as Mr. Nelsen’s, which constitutes the most worrying aspect: apart from some minor leads, no one knows what terrible plans they are concocting behind the scenes.”

Leo Ray felt as if the temperature around him had dropped considerably as he frowned, “But one thing is certain, once they reappear, it will precipitate a deadly storm.”

“Moreover, there’s another point that deserves our attention.”

Leo Ray turned towards the robust Bryan Nelsen, nodding slightly, “As Mr. Nelsen also may have noticed, both the neighboring Saint Night Kingdom and Prairie Kingdom have just gone through a change of power, and whether other states have experienced any disturbances, we currently have no knowledge of, this can’t be a coincidence.”

“Your analysis does you credit, Mr. Lane, as this is precisely the issue I was about to address.”

Bryan Nelsen nodded back at Leo Ray, the already deep voice now held an even greater depth, “Just as Mr. Lane described, including Coldflame Kingdom, three countries have experienced problems at the core of their power, and these are only the incidents we can see publicly.”

“Combine that with the immeasurable power of the Brotherhood, and the conclusion becomes quite evident–they are undoubtedly playing an intricate and unfathomable game.”

Hearing the discussion between Leo Ray and Bryan Nelsen, Ariel quickly caught on and blurted out, “Are you saying all this was done by the Black Abyss Brotherhood? Able to stir such vast upheaval across three countries in such a short period, just what are the origins of this Abyss Brotherhood?”

“That remains to be seen for now, but one thing is for certain–the time left for us to prepare for war is indeed running short.”

Leo Ray’s gaze was grave as he slightly nodded, “Setting aside their hidden conspiracies for a moment, it’s possible that our neighboring countries have already been covertly controlled by them, and they will not miss this perfect opportunity to wage a grand assault.”

After Leo Ray finished speaking, the atmosphere in the reception hall once again became heavy with gravity.
