Chapter 855: Chapter 548: The Broken Fountain_2
“I never thought there would be such an encounter, seeing a mirage of the royal descendants next to the ruins of the royal capital…”
After listening to Leo Ray’s description, old Shane was stunned for a while before exclaiming, “It seems that the lost royal treasure of thousands of years is inches away from Your Excellency!”
“I hope so, and I always feel like I’ve seen that girl who’s a descendant of the Loren Royal Family somewhere, but I just can’t remember. Maybe it’s just my illusion.”
With these words, Leo Ray couldn’t help but curl his lips slightly.
“What makes one sigh is that a royal family that once ruled a country has now fallen to the point of risking their lives to collect medicine from the mountains. This really makes one feel the impermanence of the world.”
Shaking his head helplessly, old Shane sighed deeply.
“There’s nothing unchanging in this world. In my hometown, there’s a saying, ‘Thirty years in the east of the river, thirty years in the west of the river,’ which speaks to this truth.”
With a faint smile at old Shane, Leo Ray rallied his spirits, “Well, if that’s the case, then we should leave too. I believe we will meet again soon.”
Pausing for a moment, Leo Ray seemed to have thought of something and said to the robust old man before him, “Mr. Shane, the energy in your pendant has already been exhausted, right? Do you need me to find someone to help you replenish some?”
As soon as Leo Ray said this, Scarlett, who was full of food and drink and sneaking away, couldn’t help but tremble her delicate body. She quickly retreated several steps with her big eyes wide open, hiding behind Bianca White.
“Thank you for your kindness, Your Excellency. The energy in the pendant is indeed low, but it is enough to maintain my slumber. I hope that when I wake up next time, I can see a more powerful you.”
Waving his hand slightly, old Shane’s face couldn’t help but reveal a touch of mourning.
Having prepared for the bloodline inheritance, he had already spent an extremely long period of time here alone. It seemed that he was reluctant to experience the loneliness of being shackled by the stone fetters again.
Shortly afterward, old Shane regained his composure and smiled, “Your Excellency, my remote grandson is very clever and grasped the essence of my life’s work within a short time. I believe he can certainly help you a lot.”
At this point, old Shane looked at Mason Banks, who seemed reluctant to leave, and said, “My grandson, remember that being a blacksmith is a lofty and far-reaching career. What we forge is not only weapons but also the backbone of a country or even a race.
Only with the continual sharpening of blades can a country or race achieve invincibility and stand tall in this vast continent where ten thousand clans coexist.”
“Your remote grandson will bear in mind the teachings of my ancestor!”
Hearing this, Mason Banks immediately bowed in salute, his aged face full of fervor, as if he was eager to display his skills before the magic furnace at once.
“Then, Mr. Shane, we shall leave first.”
On the other hand, after signaling Taylor to restore the blue stone platform and petrified statue to their original positions and asking Abigail and Amelia to clean up the secret chamber, Leo Ray nodded to the robust old man and led his subordinates up the long stairs to leave the underground chamber.
A moment later, just as Gideon Black, who was walking at the back of the team, set foot on the flat ground…
With another muffled “rumble…”
The indented entrance to the tunnel slowly closed and eventually returned to its previous state.
“Taylor, bring a magic furnace from the side to cover the entrance to this secret chamber.”
Seeing this, Leo Ray immediately nodded to the robust man before him.
In this way, after Taylor placed the magic furnace, the group followed the path they had taken before and returned to the bright forest ruins.
Next, Leo Ray directed his subordinates to seal the hole pierced by the Red Night above the ground.
Then, following the information provided by old Shane, they found the central square where the royal treasure was located.After observing for a while, Leo Ray noticed.
The giant steed fountain that old Shane had mentioned had long turned into various-sized broken stones covered with moss and weeds, making it impossible to discern its original appearance.
It was just like the already annihilated Loren Kingdom, which couldn’t help but evoke a sigh of lament.
As for the original City Center Square, it had also long been covered by the entangled roots of towering trees and thickets. Amidst the chirping of insects, it appeared full of vitality from nature.
“Lord, I have already deliberately investigated just now. Although the energy fluctuations emitted are very weak, there is indeed an extraordinary magical restriction below this.”
Just as Leo Ray was looking at the scene, he saw Scarlett, with her high ponytail, stepping forward and reporting with a gust of air.
“Is that so?”
Hearing this, Leo Ray rested a hand on his chin and nodded thoughtfully.
“Lord, by that logic, we could only unlock this magical restriction by finding a descendant of the Loren Royal Family?”
On the other side, Ariel Watson, dressed in military uniform, couldn’t help but frown slightly.
After what she had just witnessed, she was deeply moved as a member of the current ruling Coldflame Royal Family on this land.
Especially when she thought back to the skinny and stubborn Mirage Shadow girl she had first seen, she couldn’t help but be shocked.
One could imagine that without meeting Lord Ray, as the chaotic situation continues to escalate, it might not be long before something similar happened to the descendants of the Coldflame Royal Family.
And now, with the Lord’s help, her dream of allowing all the people of Coldflame Kingdom to live happily is slowly being realized!
Thinking of this, Ariel’s starry eyes sparkled, and she couldn’t help but cast an even more reverent look at Leo Ray.
“Exactly.”
Leo Ray slightly smiled and replied, “However, from another perspective, this is not necessarily a bad thing. At least we now know the secrets within the magical restriction. Otherwise, if we were to directly try to break it, I’m afraid it would be difficult to remedy the situation.”
“Lord Ray is right. Although such a destructive approach is very rare, it surely exists, especially in places like these treasure hiding spots.”
Scarlett then strained her eyebrows, hands on her waist.
Then, Scarlett bowed and said to Leo Ray, “However, my Lord, if there is another Tier 5 Magic Powerhouse on our team besides me, I could completely avoid this situation from happening.”
“So, in order to open this magical restriction without harming the treasures inside, we either need to find a descendant of the Loren Royal Family, or our team needs to have another powerful Tier 5 Magic Powerhouse?”
Hearing this, Leo Ray nodded thoughtfully.
At this time, the first person who came to Leo Ray’s mind was naturally Jasper Richardson, the Half-Elf ancestor.
“She has been out for some time now without any news. I can’t contact her through Mind Talk. She must have news soon, right? With her elusive space magic and the Blessed Invisibility Cloak, it’s probably difficult for her to run into trouble.”
“Moreover, since she woke up from her slumber, she has appeared on my list of subordinates in the Moonwhite Tribe. Currently, she is in a survival state.”
“It’s worth mentioning that when Jasper had not yet appeared, there was an item marked ‘???’. After she appeared, it was replaced with her attributes, while there was no such situation for the Snow Feather Tribe.”
Helplessly pursing his lips, Leo Ray continued to ponder, “However, since she has been out of communication for so long, there must be some reason to hold her up, right?”
