Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong
Chapter 1764 - Chapter 1764 Chapter 106 The Unyielding King

Chapter 1764: Chapter 106: The Unyielding King Chapter 1764: Chapter 106: The Unyielding King With the delicately carved metal doors drawn open slowly, what came into Leo Ray’s view was a spacious yet slightly dim grand bedroom.

The large crystal chandelier on the ceiling was not lit; instead, the light came entirely from the Light Crystal Stones embedded in the walls.

The appropriately arranged light sources made the room’s light soft and warm, instantly evoking a sense of calm.

The decor of the room was extremely tasteful, with the pristine walls adorned with gold, openwork spirals, belladonna leaves, scallop patterns, and numerous other ornate textures, neatly interspersed with decorative items such as longswords and shields, adding a hint of solemnity and grandeur to the opulence.

At the center of the room lay a simple yet elegant large canopy bed, its gold and red curtains enveloping it completely, forming a formidable barrier as if symbolizing the last vestiges of strength of the patient upon it.

Surrounding the bed were lantern-shaped golden flowers and lush green plants, creating a mini meadow that left just a narrow path leading to the bed.

Inhaling the light floral fragrance that greeted him, Leo Ray nodded slightly, his heart filled with numerous emotions.

After many tremendous battles, from his advent beginning in a forest corner, he had now reached before the highest authority of this kingdom, even though the latter remained unconscious.

Moreover, considering his relationship with Ariel Watson, calling him a prospective father-in-law was by no means an exaggeration.

“These flowers are called Cold Flame Lilies; they were personally cultivated by His Majesty the Heroic King and are Father King’s favorite,” Ariel’s crisp voice dropped as she murmured to Leo Ray, “Father King once said that Cold Flame Lilies could thrive both on the peak of the mountains and in the frigid Northern Territory. Neither wild winds nor blizzards can bow them, representing the most resilient will of the Coldflame Royal Family.”

“Mr. Lane, the current Old King is also contending with this striking resilience against an unknown illness,” Ariel continued, “Master Se Wen and Master Clifford have said that if it weren’t for the Old King’s will as hard as iron, he might have already…”

She did not continue, instead letting out a deep sigh and nodding at Leo Ray, “Mr. Lane, please follow me; the Old King would certainly want to meet the hero who saved the Coldflame Kingdom.”

After speaking, Ariel dismissed several maids in the room with a wave of her hand and again led the way.

“Understood.”

Leo Ray took a deep breath and followed closely behind Ariel.

Passing through the mini sea of Cold Flame Lilies, they soon arrived before the sickbed.

To avoid overly disturbing the Old King, Leo Ray had only brought a few Tier 5 Powerhouses and some Tier 4 Peak Powerhouses.

“Your Highness, I am going to draw the curtains now.”

Stopping, Ariel nodded first to Ariel Watson, then slowly pulled back the curtains that covered the sickbed.

Although Leo Ray couldn’t see Ariel’s expression, he could still feel the gravity and solemnity from her tone.

As the curtains were gently unveiled by Ariel, an emaciated old man with white hair and beard came into Leo Ray’s sight.

The old man lay flat on the large bed, his face deeply wrinkled and pallid, almost waxen-like, resembling a shriveled, hardened sponge.

However, from the outline of the blanket, one could tell the old man’s frame was once robust, and despite the frail body, the contours of massive muscles were still remarkably apparent.

Most notably, even though the old man’s broad chest barely moved, breathing in thin wisps, his blueish lips were tightly sealed, and his white eyebrows furrowed, clearly still contending with the illness within, not displaying a defeated weakness.

Looking at his prospective father-in-law before him, unconscious yet resilient, Leo Ray was filled with deep emotions.

He now fully understood why Ariel Watson, despite her delicate stature, often exhibited strong determination and power.

Because her father was an unconquerable king.

“Father King looks even weaker than before.”

Ariel knelt by the bedside, clutching the old man’s lax hand tightly, her shoulders trembling uncontrollably.

“The immediate priority now is to understand the cause of the Old King’s critical illness.”

Leo Ray gently patted Ariel on the shoulder, then turned to Gideon Black, Gals, Joshua, and other subordinates skilled or experienced in healing, “The task is yours.”

“By your command, Lord.”

Following Leo Ray’s orders, the subordinates showcased their skills, attempting to diagnose the King’s condition.

Under the enhancement of the Devil Moon Aggregation Pill, Gideon Black and Joshua, initially at the Four-order Senior Level, had reached the Tier 4 Nine-Star Peak, significantly boosting their capabilities.

And as a Master Alchemist skilled in crafting Healing Magic Potions, Gals had a remarkable understanding of various diseases and curses, potentially spotting some clues.

Understanding the cause would naturally pave the way for hopes of a cure.

During this process, Leo Ray also attempted a method of his own, trying to access the Old King’s attribute column.

However, since the Old King wasn’t one of Leo Ray’s subordinates, no matter how he tried, he couldn’t manage to do so.
