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

Chapter 848: Chapter 545: The Past of Loren Royal Capital_Like Smoke_1

“That’s right, it’s me.”

A ethereal yet loud, aged voice sounded out, and the robust old man who appeared suddenly nodded slightly and responded faintly.

Then, the robust old man closed his eyes and concentrated for a moment before finally casting his sharp gaze upon Mason Banks standing in front of him and said, “I see, so you’re my descendant, right?”

“The distant grandson, Mason Banks-Forger, pays his respects to the ancestor!”

On the other side, after feeling the familiar energy wave emitted by the robust old man, which was almost identical to his own, Mason Banks knelt down and performed a salute to the old man under Leo Ray’s nod of approval.

“Distant grandson? Alright, get up first.”

Hearing Mason Banks’ self-introduction separated by at least nine generations, the robust old man’s expression turned to surprise.

After that, he moved his old eyes, first nodding slightly towards Leo Ray who was guarded by Taylor and Scarlett as a friendly gesture to show he had no malicious intent.

Then, he looked around at the surrounding mottled bookshelves and the cracked walls of the secret chamber, and slowly asked, “What year is it now?”

“In answer to the ancestor’s question, it is Hero Era 662… No, converting to the common calendar of the continent, it is exactly 3000 years of the Starry Era.”

Standing up again, Mason Banks’s face was filled with excitement as he responded, almost dancing with joy.

Hearing this, Leo Ray nodded thoughtfully.

He had long been familiar with the calendar of this world.

The Hero Era, of course, was the unique calendar system of the Coldflame Kingdom. The first year represented the founding of the Coldflame Kingdom by King West.

As for the Starry Era, which served as the common calendar of the continent, it was also known as the Third Era and began after the Era of Blankness.

Before that, the era of the Era of Blankness was called the Silver Moon Era, also known as the Second Era, and even further back in ancient times, it was the Sun Era, which was the First Era.

“Has it already been a thousand years? However, it feels like yesterday to me, as everything is still vivid in my mind…”

After a heavy sigh, the robust old man seemed to recall something and urgently asked, “So how is Loren Kingdom now? Does it still exist in this world?”

“Ancestor, here’s what happened…”

Then, Mason Banks briefly described the downfall of the Loren Kingdom, the turbulent chaos that persisted for over three hundred years, and the birth of the Coldflame Kingdom to the robust old man before him.

“I see, this was within reason. After all, back then, the royal capital was already engulfed in heavy flames and besieged on all sides.”

Another heavy sigh, and the wrinkles on the robust old man’s face deepened a few degrees, remaining silent for a good while.

After a long pause, he turned his gaze upon Leo Ray, who was being protected by Taylor and Scarlett behind him, and spoke again, “Sir, are you the leader here?”

“Yes, old sir, sorry for the inconvenience, please forgive us.”

Nodding slightly at the robust old man, Leo Ray responded promptly.

“Your Excellency is too polite. If it weren’t for your leading the others here, how could I, Shane Smith, have the opportunity to see my descendants after a thousand years?”

On the other side, the robust old man showed a friendly smile, then looked towards Scarlett, and continued, “Moreover, thanks to this little friend voluntarily providing me with plenty of magical power, allowing me to meet everyone.”

“What do you mean by voluntarily providing? Obviously, it was suddenly drained away, making me hungry again…”

Hearing this, Scarlett, who stood behind Leo Ray and only showed half her head, wrinkled her little nose, and muttered to herself.

“Mr. Smith, there is no need for formalities; it is our honor to meet the once unparalleled Master Forger.”

After speaking, Leo Ray’s gaze fell upon the nearby statue, revealing a puzzled expression, and asked, “Old sir, what exactly is going on here?”

“As Your Excellency has seen, my true body is this statue.”

Following Leo Ray’s vision to the statue, the robust old man smiled bitterly and shook his head, “And what you see now is just a unique energy form.”

“Ancestor, does that mean you were really petrified back then?”

Hearing this, Mason Banks’s face showed an anxious expression, asking once again.

“Indeed.”

Nodding slightly, the robust old man’s eyes were filled with a distant look as if he was buried in memory, replying, “Back then, the royal capital of Loren Kingdom was besieged by an enemy army of 500,000 for over half a year.

However, due to the Absolute Defense Barrier covering the entire city, which was connected to the molten lava deep underground through the unique magic conversion barrier of the Dwarf Clan, it gained a constant flow of lava energy.”

“Therefore, no matter how the enemy tried, they were still unable to break through.”@@novelbin@@

Seeing this, a sneer appeared on the robust old man’s face, and he scornfully said, “Even now, I still clearly remember the comical expressions of the enemy commanding officers and generals scratching their heads and cheeks under that city wall.”

“In that case, how did the enemy eventually break through the city?”
