Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong-Chapter 857 - 549: Heading to Blue Cold Fortress_2
Chapter 857: Chapter 549: Heading to Blue Cold Fortress_2
Under the towering trees, looking at the ancient ruins covered in green in front of him, Leo Ray slowly paced and snapped his fingers, saying: “In any case, without knowing Jasper Richardson’s return date, if we want to unlock this thousand-year-old secret treasure, we have to find the descendants of the Loren Royal Family, right?”
At this moment, the image of the thin girl with the basket, Mirage Shadow, once again appeared in Leo Ray’s mind.
“These projections, sometimes they are scenes happening in real-time, and sometimes they’re scenes that have already taken place in the past. But according to Scarlett, even if it was a scene from the past, it wouldn’t be too far apart from the present time.”
“Upon further thought, the reason I feel a sense of familiarity might be because the Mirage Shadow is an image from the past, and I might have seen the real person when the girl was older. As the saying goes, girls change a lot when they grow up, so it wouldn’t be strange if this were the case.”
Thinking of this, Leo Ray’s eyes brightened, and everything became clear.
However, following this line of thought, when Leo Ray went through all the native inhabitants he had seen since his arrival in the new world who resembled the girl, he still was left clueless.

...
“Where have I seen her before? Who exactly is she? Nevermind, perhaps I can remember once I see her again.”
Helplessly shaking his head, Leo Ray pondered for a moment.
Then he said to the still-excited old blacksmith next to him: “Mr. Mason Banks, once we return to Cyan Town, have the best painter in town draw a portrait of that girl based on the Mirage Shadow we saw earlier and make magic print copies of it.
Then, swiftly send trusted people to distribute it, gather various leaders and Shadow Squad members to secretly search for her. If she’s found, be sure to report to me at the first opportunity.”
“As you wish! Please rest assured, Lord!”
On the other side, Mason Banks immediately followed Leo Ray’s orders with a bow.
“Alright, since things have come to an end for now, let’s leave this forest first.”
Amid the chirping bugs and rustling trees, Leo Ray nodded to everyone after faintly hearing the sound of the waterfall from the direction of Pine Sound Range, not far away.
“Lord, why don’t we take a detour to Blue Cold Fortress?”
Burt hesitated for a moment, then suggested: “Last time, Princess mentioned that we’re not far away from Blue Cold Fortress.”
Pausing for a moment, Burt continued: “Moreover, as the number one wine-producing town in the Coldflame Eastern Region, Blue Cold Fortress’s wealth reserves cannot be underestimated. If we can control it, it will inevitably benefit us.”
“Lord, I fully agree with Burt’s proposal. We must not let the other princes get hold of this treasure!”
On the other side, a murderous intent appeared on Joshua’s face as he bowed to Leo Ray.
“I have the same intention.”
Nodding slightly, Leo Ray climbed onto a white giant wolf and continued saying to the Princess Cold Flame next to him: “Ariel, lead the way in front. Our destination is the wine-producing town of Blue Cold Fortress!”
“As you wish, Lord!”
Ariel saluted Leo Ray and placed her hand on her chest to accept the order.
Next, under Ariel’s guidance.
After a swift journey, the group wearing Invisibility Cloaks once again crossed the vast dense forest and sped towards the plains in the southeast direction.
As soon as Leo Ray emerged from the forest into the bright sunlight, riding a white giant wolf, while feeling the howling wind rushing past his ears, he thought about Ariel’s previous description of the Blue Cold Fortress’s City Lord.
“This City Lord, titled Rose Marquis, is named Olivia. It seems like an unusual name for a person.”
With a slight lift of his eyebrow, Leo Ray continued pondering: “Moreover, this person, when he was young, used to be the royal winemaker of the Coldflame Royal Family and had contact with Ariel before.”
“However, from Ariel’s strange facial expression when she mentioned this person, it’s evident that he is not an ordinary character. It’s the first time I’ve ever seen someone who could make the notoriously willful Coldflame Fifth Princess have such a reaction.”
At this moment, Leo Ray’s face couldn’t help but show a more curious expression, and he began to look forward to what was to come.
At present, the Blue Cold Fortress has not yet been infiltrated by Shadow Squad members.
According to the information obtained from Asher, there are about 5,000 members of the Defense Army here, but the population size is slightly inferior to that of Cyan Town.As for the pillar industry of the whole town, there is naturally only one, which is brewing fine wine.
“Not many people, but with such a number of defense army, it seems that the financial resources of Blue Cold Fortress are indeed not to be underestimated.”
Just as Leo Ray thought of this.
Above the endless plain in front, the silhouette of a city slowly emerged.
At this time, what first came into Leo Ray’s eyes was a connected green orchard, followed by a piece of lush wheat field.
Under the bright sunlight, the scene looked vibrant, giving people a sense of exhilaration.
“It seems that these well-managed orchards and wheat fields are the raw materials for brewing wine.”
Noticing this, Leo Ray nodded thoughtfully.
Next, accompanied by another round of swift movement.
Further ahead, the green wheat fields on both sides of the road and the narrow country road, the towering walls in the distance finally came into the view of the group.
“Lord, the suburbs of Blue Cold Fortress are just ahead, we’ll be arriving at our destination soon.”
Immediately after, Ariel Watson’s clear voice entered Leo Ray’s ears through mind talk.
“Very good, let’s find a hidden place nearby, put on the Illusion Cloaks, and start walking.”
With a slight nod, Leo Ray immediately ordered his subordinates.
In this way, after some illusion disguise and the addition of travel backpacks and other items from the storage rings, Leo Ray and the others were indistinguishable from ordinary travelers.
Following the narrow cobblestone path for about ten minutes, the party, which appeared downcast and weary, stepped onto the neatly paved and wide avenue.
At this time, Leo Ray noticed.
This avenue was quite bustling, with carriages filled with barrels of wine passing by from time to time, slowly driving under the encouragement of the carter’s whip.
The guards of these convoys not only had mercenaries with different outfits, but also many uniformed defense soldiers, who came from other cities judging by the emblems engraved on their armor chest plates.
“Lord, this place is indeed a wine-making town. My subordinates can already smell the strong scent of fruit fermentation, sour and sweet.”
Bianca White, with her sensitive sense of smell, wrinkled her nose and whispered to Leo Ray while sniffing.
“You girl, talking about it made my teeth feel sour as well.”
With a helpless smile, Leo Ray unconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
However, before he could say anything else,
Bianca’s expression suddenly became tense, and she quickly approached Leo Ray, whispering to him, “Lord, besides that, my subordinates also smell a strange beast odor. In the city ahead, there seems to be some dangerous demon beast lurking!”
“Oh?”
Hearing this, a puzzled expression appeared on Leo Ray’s face.
At this moment, with a brisk pace, the group’s location approached the city gate.
Whether from the orderly commercial caravan, the passing travelers and wine guests, or the neat and aligned defense soldiers on and off the city wall, there was no sign of confusion or tension.
“How could there be traces of demon beasts in such a well-ordered city?”
Realizing this, the puzzled expression on Leo Ray’s face became even more obvious.
