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

F{h*F5#+LjChapter 554: The Enormous Creature in the Underground Wine Cellar_1@@novelbin@@

“Mr. Lane, I apologize for my earlier misjudgment, I hope you will forgive me.”

In shock, Rose Marquis tried to gather his spirits and then gave an embarrassed smile to Leo Ray as a sign of apology.

Following that, a resolute look emerged on his face, and he gritted his teeth, saying, “I didn’t expect those despicable people to have already been plotting a murderous plan. It’s absolutely hateful!”

“I’m afraid the ones who really want to kill you have a mastermind behind them.”

Raising an eyebrow, Leo Ray changed the subject: “Now the priority is to figure out what’s going on. Since Princess and I are here, let’s help you out.”

“That’s right. As the Fifth Princess of the Coldflame Royal Family, I cannot just stand by and do nothing.”

Gently nodding her head, Ariel Watson also stepped forward, her brows furrowed, agreeing with him.

“My gratitude to Your Highness and Mr. Lane!”

Upon hearing this, the Rose Marquis’s expression brightened, and he bowed his enormous body once more, earnestly thanking Leo Ray and Ariel Watson.

By now, the Rose Marquis understood the situation very clearly.

Although he didn’t know what those envoys did to the castle, beside Mr. Lane there was a Tier 5 national-level powerhouse to deal with the crisis!

At this moment, the Rose Marquis’s mind was filled with thoughts.

Compared to the other three waves of envoys from the Royal Capital, the Princess and Mr. Lane, who were also trying to win him over, showed much more sincerity and respect than the rude envoys before them.

Crucially, at this stage, it had already been confirmed.

Other envoys were targeting his life, while the Princess and Mr. Lane were helping him during this crisis. The huge difference between the two was self-evident.

With that in mind, the Rose Marquis first nodded to Leo Ray and the others before saying, “Let’s get to the bottom of the cause of the tremors.”

“That’s the plan. As for the information we’ve gathered so far …”

Leo Ray gave a brief nod, explaining the dangerous aura they had sensed while arriving at the city’s gate and the dangerous aura they had felt during the tremor.

“I see, that’s why you mentioned the Demon Beasts earlier.”

After pondering for a moment with a thoughtful expression, Rose Marquis slapped his thigh and said, “In that case, it’s highly likely that the mysterious Demon Beasts caused the tremors.”

“We can almost confirm this now. All we need to do is find the Demon Beasts’ tracks, and everything else will become clear.”

Nodding at the Rose Marquis, Leo Ray turned to the Snow Wolf Clan girl and said, “Bianca White, can you track the scent of the Demon Beasts now?”

“Master, the strange scent of the Demon Beast disappeared at the end of the tremor.”

Bianca White bowed to Leo Ray and responded, “Besides, the strong floral and alcohol aroma here has made it nearly impossible to track.”

Frowning deeply as she spoke, Bianca White pondered for a moment before adding, “However, according to my detection, the scent should come from the end of that corridor!”

“End of the corridor?!”

Hearing this, Rose Marquis was stunned and then suddenly enlightened: “That location is the entrance to the City Lord Mansion’s wine cellar. Previously, every group of envoys had visited that place. It seems that the mystery may have occurred there!”

“We shouldn’t waste time. Let’s go check it out.”

With a slight nod, Leo Ray immediately snapped his fingers and beckoned.

“Please follow me!”

On the other side, Rose Marquis put the rose back into his clothes and began his enchanting stride.

Under Rose Marquis’s guidance, the group rapidly left the luxurious reception hall.

As soon as they stepped out of the reception hall and onto the spacious castle corridor, several Blue Cold Fortress guards, some in armor and others in magic robes, gathered around the Marquis Rose.

After symbolically paying their respects to Ariel Watson, the Coldflame Princess, the mage commanders began delivering their reports.

Through the summaries of several Mage Commanders, Leo Ray learned that the sudden tremor seemed only to involve the central location of the Blue Cold Fortress, where the City Lord Mansion was located.

This fact undoubtedly confirmed from a side aspect that the oddity had indeed occurred in the wine cellar underneath the City Lord Mansion.

“City Lord, what should we do now?”

After the report was completed, a middle-aged Mage Commander in blue robes stepped forward, bowed, and inquired the Rose Marquis.

“According to the information, there seems to be traces of unknown Demon Beasts in the underground wine cellar. So, just in case, immediately evacuate everyone from the castle at the fastest speed.”

With a serious expression, Rose Marquis nodded to the middle-aged Mage Commander and gave his orders.

“Unknown Demon Beasts?! In the underground wine cellar?!”

Surprised, the Blue Cold Fortress Commanders looked at each other, and only then did they all bow and obey the order: “Yes! City Lord!”
