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

Chapter 1850: Chapter 1047: The Yet Unrevealed Past_2

“All matters concerning the Royal Capital shall be entrusted to you.”

Leo Ray nodded to Ariel Watson, Asher Porter, and the others who had come to see him off, then turned to Jasper Richardson and said, “Let’s set off. Our destination is the Grim West Coastline, before heading to the Ironhand Archipelago from there.”

“As you command, My Lord.”

Jasper Richardson bowed with a hand to his chest and promptly chanted a spell. A pale grey formation rose from the ground and enveloped Leo Ray and the six others within it.

In the blink of an eye, and as the grey light screen dissipated, Leo Ray and his group had vanished from the resplendent King’s Hall.

When Leo Ray opened his eyes again, bright sunshine shone overhead, and a rich, salty scent immediately assailed his nostrils.

Before Leo Ray and his companions lay the boundless expanse of the azure blue ocean.

One could see white waves flecked with foam gently lapping at the vast stretch of beach, the crisp and pleasant sound of flowing water softly echoing in Leo Ray’s ears.

“Is this the great sea of this otherworld? Indeed, it’s a long-missed sight.”

Standing atop a mountain peak, Leo Ray squinted his eyes as he felt the sea breeze caress his face, unable to help feeling refreshed and cheerful.

“My Lord, this is the coastline of the Grimm Kingdom, the closest to the Ironhand Archipelago.”

Jasper Richardson nodded at Leo Ray and introduced, “The port city at the foot of the mountain is Azure Blue City, which also houses the second-largest port of the Grimm Kingdom, Azure Blue Port.”

Following Jasper Richardson’s gaze, Leo Ray indeed discovered a rather impressive port city nestled at the foot of the mountain.

One could see more than a dozen large three-masted ships berthed at the edge of the port, with crowds of dock workers bustling about like ants, loading and unloading cargo—a scene of prosperity.

“My Lord, although the Ironhand Archipelago closed its shipping routes and cut off all contact with other Human Clan kingdoms a century ago, maritime trade remains tremendously prosperous between countries with long coastlines, such as the Grimm Kingdom, Pars Empire, and even the Prairie Kingdom to the south.”

The White Knight stepped forward and respectfully explained to Leo Ray, “Hence, such a scene is not surprising.”

“My Coldflame Kingdom is entirely landlocked; indeed, this is a sight unseen in the kingdom.”

Leo Ray looked at the various ships coming and going on the sea and nodded slightly, saying, “How far is the Ironhand Archipelago from here?”

“My Lord, if we take a fast ship, it will take about three days. At our speed of travel, it should take around one hour.”

The White Knight bowed with a hand to his chest and respectfully asked, “My Lord, shall we set off now?”

“Not so fast. Since our destination is within reach, I propose we first visit Azure Blue City to gather the latest intelligence on the Ironhand Archipelago,” Leo Ray said, waving his hand lightly, “Thus prepared, we may proceed.”

“What My Lord says is very true. A century ago, the Ironhand Archipelago suddenly withdrew all diplomats and dispatched all institutions and personnel, including the Three Major Neutral Organizations, from the country. Since then, the Ironhand Archipelago has closed all its ports and airship routes, completely isolating the nation from the Human various countries,”

The White Knight, seemingly thoughtful, nodded and said, “At that time, whether it was the Human various countries or the major neutral organizations, all were completely baffled.”

“After all, at that time, the Ironhand Archipelago had not been at war with any country, nor had any anomalies occurred. Such sudden actions were obviously too mysterious and abnormal.”

“For a while, a host of speculations began to spread among the oblivious Human various countries, such as internal power disputes in the Ironhand Archipelago or some secretive conspiracy underway.”

“Thus, under the influence of caution and curiosity, various countries and major neutral organizations sent envoys across the sea, attempting to figure out the truth of the matter. However, the outcome was utterly astonishing.”

“Everything in the Ironhand Archipelago was as usual: the inhabitants lived peacefully, self-sustaining; the strong ones continued their cultivation and meditation undisturbed; aside from actively isolating themselves from the Human various countries, it seemed as though nothing had changed at all.”

“In such a situation, it was as if among a group of people walking together in laughter, suddenly one of them, who was laughing heartily just a second ago, turned away without any coherent reason, leaving the formation, leaving all Human various countries and major neutral organizations even more baffled.”

“Therefore, the Human various countries, concerned, dispatched even more emissaries and mercenaries to try to clarify the reasons behind all this, of course, including my Coldflame Kingdom.”

“However, according to the emissaries and mercenaries who returned to their kingdoms, the investigators from various countries and major neutral organizations searched the entire Iron Hand Archipelago without discovering any anomalies.”

“The officials and soldiers of the Iron Hand Archipelago only politely requested the investigators to leave as soon as possible, yet did not impede any of the investigators’ actions.”

“After several fruitless repetitions, the Human various countries along with the major neutral organizations, including my Coldflame Kingdom, finally reached a conclusion.”

“That is, the Iron Hand Archipelago poses no threat, and all of this may simply be that the Royal Family of the Iron Hand Archipelago no longer wishes to communicate with the Human various countries.”

“After all, in the beginning, it was merely a desolate land of exile for criminals, composed of countless large and small islands, naturally having limited goodwill towards Human various countries.”

“Since then, the Human various countries gradually ceased to care about everything related to the Iron Hand Archipelago, until now.”

With the White Knight’s report concluded, Leo Ray nodded thoughtfully.

All of this was consistent with the information he had.

“White Knight, there have always been rumors of vampire activities on the Iron Hand Archipelago, didn’t the Human various countries associate the vampires with these events at the time?”

Leo Ray gazed at the sea which was at times surging with waves and at times calm as a mirror, furrowing his brows as he inquired.

“My Lord, although Vampire strongmen are difficult to deal with, possessing vaporization and powerful regenerative abilities,”

“Their inherent limitations are also very clear, especially during the daytime, they are not the most troublesome issues for high-level strong ones who come up with endless methods.”

The White Knight gestured a salute to Leo Ray and explained, “Moreover, the number of vampires is relatively scarce, and their developed retainers are also limited in number, plus they are absolutely restrained by the Holy-Light Priests of the Temple of Light.”

“In the wars between the Human Clan and vampires, vampires often lost more than they won, which is why they, like the criminals, were ultimately sent to the Iron Hand Archipelago.”

“Therefore, for the power centers of the Human various countries and neutral organizations, vampires, albeit necessitating caution, clearly weren’t considered an apocalyptic threat, so they didn’t put too much emphasis on them.”

Listening to the White Knight’s words, Leo Ray gently stroked his chin, “Understood, underestimating an opponent once defeated is indeed very much in line with the arrogance of certain elites.”

“Your Highness Prince, there must be hidden truths here, otherwise, the Iron Hand Archipelago would not have suddenly cut off contact with the Human various countries.”

Qiana blinked her long eyelashes and said respectfully to Leo Ray, “Moreover, I believe that vampires are definitely involved in this matter.”

“I agree, but with the information we currently possess, it is clearly insufficient to deduce the full picture of the matter.”

Leo Ray nodded, and then with a wave of his hand proclaimed, “Then we’ll proceed with the planned operation and first explore the Azure Blue City at the foot of the mountain.”

“At your command, my Lord.”

Everyone saluted with a touch to their chest, saying unanimously.

Afterward, accompanied by a flash of pale grey light, Leo Ray and his group instantly disappeared from the spot, as if they had never appeared.

When Leo Ray and his party reappeared, they were already in the most bustling streets of the Azure Blue City.

Of course, to avoid attracting attention, everyone in Leo Ray’s party was disguised under Little Illusion’s illusion techniques, looking no different from ordinary travelers.

As for their destination, it was naturally the tavern in the city, reputed to be the center of intelligence.
