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

Chapter 1839: Chapter 1042: The Secret Deep In The Mountains

“Oh? Please, elder Shane, enlighten us.”

In the healing center’s hall, bathed in sanctified brilliance, Leo Ray’s eyes lit up. He nodded to Mason Banks, signaling him to help his ancestor to the bench nearby, and hurriedly inquired.

“Your Excellency, according to your description, the specific location of Dragon’s Lair is at the narrow pass of the Hundred Ranges, to the north of the Loren Royal City Ruins. That place is an important passage from this region to the Outer Region.”

Shane settled himself on the bench and nodded at Leo Ray, saying: “A millennium ago, that place was also an important border stronghold of the Loren Kingdom, known as Forged Iron City.”

“That is indeed the case. The map of Loren Kingdom at that time is almost a duplicate of today’s Coldflame Eastern Region. Forged Iron City is in fact today’s Dragon’s Lair.”

The White Knight nodded thoughtfully and echoed in contemplation.

“However, Forged Iron City was occupied by enemy nations before the fall of Loren Royal City and was subsequently destroyed several times in the chaos of war.”

“Only after His Majesty the Heroic King founded Coldflame Kingdom and spent a substantial amount of manpower and resources to rebuild Forged Iron City did Dragon’s Lair come to be as we know it today.”

At this point, the White Knight seemed to realize something, and exclaimed with a sudden enlightenment: “Oh, right! Forged Iron City was once the fiefdom of the Smith Family. Could it be that there are still unknown secrets hidden there?”

“Indeed, although I am quite ashamed to admit it, I was once the Clan Leader of the Smith Family and knew Forged Iron City like the back of my hand.”

Old Shane sighed lightly and then spoke seriously: “At that time, in order to prevent the Alliance Army from finding an alternative route to attack the Royal Capital from Forged Iron City, I led the Smith Family to reinforce the city and set up a multitude of Magic Traps outside the city walls.”

“During this process, one of the clan members reported that they had accidentally discovered an ancient Warehouse of an unknown race at the deep underground of the Hundred Ranges next to Dragon’s Lair, which contained a large number of Alchemy Puppets.”

“However, when I led people to inspect the site, that Warehouse had mysteriously vanished, as if it had never existed at all.”

“Afterward, despite exerting all our efforts, including inviting the most knowledgeable Fifth-order Court Magician Rune of the kingdom to investigate, we could not find the Warehouse again.”

“Furthermore, at the time, the Alliance Army was already bearing down upon us, causing widespread panic throughout the kingdom. Even the Old King himself led the White Knights and others to the frontlines, where they were locked in fierce combat with the opponents.”

“Therefore, this matter was ultimately set aside, until Forged Iron City fell to the Alliance Army and the Alliance forces besieged the Royal Capital.”

At this point, old Shane shook his head helplessly.

“So there was such a matter.”

After listening to Shane’s narrative, the White Knight pondered for a moment, then voiced his doubts: “Rune is a Tier 5 Nine-Star Magic mentor. Even he, the wisest of the Loren Kingdom at the time, could not find any trace. Could it have been just a hallucination that member of the Smith Family had?”

“Lance, many people thought the same at the time, so much so that even I began to waver and thought it was all a hallucination,” Old Shane replied nodding at the White Knight, “After all, the underground of Forged Iron City was an Ancient Dwarven Remain, how could there suddenly be an ancient Warehouse with numerous alchemy Puppets of an unknown race next to it? It doesn’t make any sense.”

“However, during the thousand years I was petrified, I have recalled everything from that time over and over again, and finally came to another conclusion, that is, that ancient relic of unknown origin had indeed existed once, no, perhaps it had always been there.”

Shane said solemnly, with conviction: “Because every time we went there to look for it, everything was covered up too perfectly. Even that clan member could not find the entrance, and even had trouble distinguishing direction, as if they were intentionally hidden by some kind of power.”

“Ancestor, are you suggesting that there might be some kind of Illusion Technique at work there?”

After a moment of contemplation, Mason Banks’s expression brightened as he spoke.

“Highly likely, this is the only reasonable explanation, and our only hope.”

Old Shane nodded firmly in response: “According to that clansman, the Alchemy Puppets he saw were arranged as orderly as a well-trained army in the depths of the ruins, counting tens of thousands of them.”

“Keep in mind that Alchemy Puppets do not start at Tier 1; they are at least Tier 2 or even Tier 3 at the lowest level.”

“If we can successfully activate such a number of alchemy Puppets, in addition to the city’s garrison forces, repelling the invading Half-Orc Army is not an impossibility!”

Hearing Shane’s words, Leo Ray nodded thoughtfully.

It is well-known that, under equal strength and proper command, Golem Puppets with neither fear of pain nor fatigue, are much stronger than ordinary Soldiers in combat.

And on top of that, Alchemy Puppets which can regenerate themselves, are even more powerful than Golem Puppets.

In terms of combat power, ten thousand fully armed Tier 2 alchemy Puppets could eclipse any of the most elite Human Clan legions!

Thus, just as the other said, if Our Side could gain control of tens of thousands of Alchemy Puppets, even if they were only the lowest Tier 2 Puppets, they would play a most vital role!
