Chapter 1855: Chapter 1050: Puzzle of the Truth_2

“Thank you, big brother!”

After being gently set down from the red night, Bella’s rosy cheeks were still full of excitement as she bowed to Leo Ray.

“Please come this way, big brother. The adults have been moved to the village’s conference hall! It’s the biggest house in the village center!”

After speaking, Bella ran to the front of the group to lead the way.

“So, is this the territory of the Ironhand Archipelago?”

Leo Ray lightly sniffed the salty, fishy scent unique to the seaside and asked his subordinates beside him, “What do you think? Do you feel anything unusual?”

“Reporting to my Lord, in the house Bella mentioned at the village center, there are indeed hundreds of extremely weak presences.”

Jasper Richardson saluted by placing hand over chest, then frowned and said, “Aside from that, there doesn’t seem to be anything special here, it’s just…”

“Just what?”

Hearing the uncertainty in Jasper Richardson’s words, Leo Ray immediately asked, “Speak freely.”

“My Lord, it’s just that compared to the outside world, the energy particles floating in the air here are slightly chaotic, as if an unknown large-scale magic had only ended a few days ago.”

Jasper Richardson maintained his saluting posture and responded.

“Indeed, I have the same feeling.”

Little Illusion’s two pairs of transparent wings fluttered as he floated in front of Leo Ray, agreeing, “My Lord, in any case, there’s something strange about this place.”

After the red night and Little Illusion spoke, the others also nodded one after another.

“An unknown large-scale formation, which only ended a few days ago, coincides perfectly with the time Bella mentioned the adults fainted.”

Leo Ray nodded thoughtfully, pondering, “It seems there’s likely a causal relationship between the two.”

“What my Lord says is very true. Perhaps that unknown Magic Barrier is part of the Blood Feast Ritual.”

Qiana’s heavy bow was already in hand, her starry eyes moving back and forth, observing the surroundings carefully while agreeing.

As everyone was talking, those two children ran back again, followed by several other teenagers of similar age to Bella.

“Bella, you’re back!”

A girl with a bow on her head approached quickly, her sallow face full of concern as she said, “I heard you crossed the sea alone, we were all worried to death, especially since only you from the previous village awakened the noble Blood Clan wings.”

“Don’t worry, I’ve brought big brother here to help. Big brother will definitely wake up our mother and everyone’s families!”

Bella smiled gently and then introduced Leo Ray.

“Really? That’s great!”

Upon hearing this, the girl with the bow and the other teenagers cheered and then all gathered in front of Leo Ray to bow and thank him, “Thank you, big brother!”

“No need to be polite. The urgent task now is to quickly find out the specific reason the adults fainted.”

Leo Ray gently waved his hand and spoke, “Quickly take us over there to have a look.”

“We’ll do exactly as big brother says!”

Another boy holding a fish spear nodded firmly and then walked at the front with Bella.

Guided by the teenagers, Leo Ray and his group quickly arrived at the wooden house in the center of the fishing village.

As soon as he stepped inside, the sight that greeted Leo Ray’s eyes was akin to a battlefield hospital.

In the slightly dim hall, villagers were neatly arranged on simple straw mats, all with their eyes closed, unconscious.

Even though Leo Ray had maximized his Energy Shield to block all unusual auras, he could still feel an extremely oppressive atmosphere.

“My Lord, these villagers’ faces are pale, their breathing indeed already extremely weak.”

The White Knight bent down to check on a few comatose villagers nearby, then stood up and reported, “Their bodies have no external injuries, nor any signs of curses, easily ruling out being caused by battle.”

“That’s right, everyone suddenly fell into a coma, just like mother.”

Bella squatted in front of a young village woman who looked about thirty and her eyes glistened with tears again, “Please, big brother, save mother and the others!”

After Bella spoke, the other teenagers were also full of helplessness and echoed her words.

“Rest assured, we will do our utmost.”

Looking at everyone’s eager and expectant expressions, Leo Ray nodded slightly, instructing his subordinates to conduct a thorough investigation in various directions.

As his subordinates paid respects and took their leave, Leo Ray also took a step forward to Bella’s side.

“Big brother, she seems close to dying!”

Bella clutched her mother’s bloodless hand tightly, with only the faint pulse giving Bella the last bit of reassurance.

“I will do my best; it’s also for myself.”

Leo Ray gently patted Bella’s head and then looked around at the others, “Given the current situation, does anyone have any other noteworthy information?”

“Big brother, I heard that the big figures among the Blood Clan haven’t fainted. Someone once saw a big figure from the Blood Clan inspecting the situation, but he kept shaking his head and sighing.”

The boy with the fish spear stood up and replied, “Yet all the adults who are part of us Blood Clan have fallen into a coma.”

“So, my hypothesis was correct, wasn’t it? Only those converted by the Blood Feast Ritual show such abnormalities.”

Leo Ray nodded in deep thought, musing to himself.

It seems that despite the impressive results of the Blood Feast Ritual, it indeed has significant limitations.

No, more accurately speaking, it poses great dangers.

“My Lord, my subordinate and others have carefully examined these villagers. The reason for their unconsciousness is only one, which is severe decline in bodily functions, unable even to ensure their own survival.”

A rough voice sounded as Taylor came to Leo Ray’s side and respectfully reported, “It’s like a flourishing sky-reaching tree whose trunk suddenly becomes extremely fragile, unable to continue supporting its weight and sure to topple over.”

“Exactly, there are still traces of Blood Clan characteristics on these villagers, but their bodies are even more frail than ordinary Human Clan members.”

Nolan placed his hand on his chest in salute, further explaining, “In other words, these villagers’ weak Human functions can’t sustain the demanding characteristics of the Blood Clan, which is the reason for their collapse.”

“I completely understand now. These villagers, although converted into part of the Blood Clan, are not fully converted but rely on a powerful external force to maintain their Blood Clan traits.”

Leo Ray took a deep breath and began piecing together the fragments he had gathered, “Now that the external force has suddenly failed, the villagers naturally can no longer maintain their Blood Clan traits.”

“My Lord is right, and the result of being unsustainable is to completely lose consciousness and fall into a coma!”

Little Illusion sat on Leo Ray’s shoulder, quietly added, “My Lord, the villagers’ bodies have already reached the brink of collapse; there really isn’t much time left.”

“Could that powerful external force be the recently failed unknown Magic Barrier? The villagers can only remain safe within the Barrier’s protection!”

Jasper Richardson’s eyes lit up, suddenly enlightened, “If so, everything makes sense! This is also why Ironhand Archipelago, though populated entirely by the Blood Clan, can’t challenge the Human various countries, because the Barrier’s coverage is limited!”

“That’s right, this is the final piece of the puzzle as to why the villagers are unconscious.”

Leo Ray nodded slightly, affirmed, “Thus, what we need to do is simple: just restore that unknown Barrier. If I’m not mistaken, this Barrier is part of the Blood Feast Ritual.”

“My Lord, what exactly should we do?”

Little Illusion tilted his head, hurriedly asking.

“The answer is simple. Since the true Blood Clan can still move freely, they must be gathered at the power center of the Ironhand Archipelago. We just need to go there.”

Leo Ray raised his eyebrows, calmly stating.
