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

Chapter 873: Chapter 558: The Shocking Rose Marquis_1

“Very well, from this moment on, Blue Cold Fortress will thrive under my protection.”

With a slight nod, Leo Ray’s thoughts moved, and the recently upgraded Tier 4 Recruitment Order appeared in his palm, and he proceeded to sign the contract.

After a while, the familiar prompt sounded in Leo Ray’s ears.

[Congratulations, Tier 4 Two-Star Forest Archmage Olivia Oakwood has signed a Master-Servant Contract with you and become your new subordinate!]

Hearing this, Leo Ray nodded in satisfaction, and as usual, he opened the attribute column of the other party while helping them up.

[Name: Olivia]

...

[Occupation: Forest Archmage]

[Tier: Tier 4 Two Stars]

[Loyalty: 100]

[Skill One: Giant Wood Spike ‘Active’ (Plant attribute spell group attack, with piercing effect.)]

[Skill Two: Thorns Lockdown ‘Active’ (Plant attribute spell group attack, with imprisonment effect.)]

[Skill Three: Giant Wood Barrier ‘Active’ (Plant attribute defense spell, excels when cast on forest terrain)]

[Skill Four: Plant Magic Mastery ‘Passive’ (Significantly increases damage when using plant attribute magic)]

“With this, Blue Cold Fortress is officially incorporated into my territory, becoming the ninth town I possess!”

Closing the attribute column, a hint of joy appeared on Leo Ray’s face, and he thought to himself, “As I said at the banquet before,

If I wanted, the wine in this town could immediately go from being a noble exclusive to my personal exclusive.”

As Leo Ray’s thoughts reached this point,

Red Night, who had been waiting at the side, stepped forward and reported, “Lord, the Devouring Slime, which is like a pest, has been completely eliminated by the subordinates!”

“Well done, let’s go back and take a look.”

Upon hearing this, Leo Ray nodded in satisfaction.

After returning to Fine Wine District 2, Leo Ray noticed

That the huge creature that had been devouring everything earlier had completely disappeared, leaving only a mess and wisps of green smoke on the ground, proving that this place had once been devoured by the giant creature.

“Thank goodness, not only this underground wine cellar and the City Lord Mansion above it have been saved, but even more so, you have saved the lives of my family, my five Royal Guard Squads, and many winemakers and servants!”

Seeing the joy on the face of the Rose Marquis, he repeatedly bowed to Leo Ray and said, “Thank you very much, Lord!”

“Lord, before the Era of Blankness, the Devouring Slime was also something that everyone would shout and beat when they encountered it. To my knowledge, many villages and cities, including the Human Clan, have been destroyed by this creature.”

On the other side, Red Night continued, “Some were destroyed indirectly due to the explosion, while others were directly devoured by the Slime, which was extremely tragic.”

“Well, I guess we did our part in eliminating a menace to the people.”

With a slight raise of his eyebrows, Leo Ray turned around and said, “Let’s leave here and let the Rose Marquis take care of the rest.”

“By your command, Lord!”

Upon hearing this, all the subordinates bowed and spoke in unison.

In this way, Leo Ray, who had left the wine cellar and returned to the luxurious reception room, first ordered the Rose Marquis to send someone to bring in Scarlett and the other seven subordinates who were hiding nearby.

Afterward, he began to inquire about the specific situation of Blue Cold Fortress.

Through a long conversation with Rose Marquis, Leo Ray learned while sipping tea,

As shown in the previous intelligence, Blue Cold Fortress has a total of five Defense Army Corps, and five Tier 2 Royal Guard Squads, a force of 5,500 people.

The five Defense Army Corps are two Infantry Corps, one Cavalry Corps, one Archer Brigade, and one Mixed Step-Cavalry Corps.

The five Royal Guard Squads are one Heavy Infantry Squad, one Swordsman Squad, two Mage Squads, and one Ranger-Scout Squad.

In addition to the Rose Marquis himself at the Tier 4 level,

There are ten Tier 3 powerhouses, including the commanders of the five Defense Army Corps and the commanders of the five Royal Guard Squads.

“Not bad, not bad at all. This strength can definitely be considered exceptional.”

Hearing this, Leo Ray put down the teacup in his hand and nodded with satisfaction.

“Lord, there’s more to it than that. In fact, there’s a special hidden area in the underground wine cellar. That’s the treasury of Blue Cold Fortress!”

Seeing the Rose Marquis standing by, he first refilled Leo Ray’s teacup with steaming hot tea, then grinned and said, “There are 12 million gold dragons stored there for your Lordship to use at any time!”

“Then I shall gladly accept.”

Upon hearing this, Leo Ray nodded appreciatively at the Rose Marquis.

Currently, Leo Ray had only 1.1 million gold dragons left after paying 1.8 million gold dragons in commission and giving Asher Porter 5 million gold dragons, which was undoubtedly very tight.

However, the two trading conferences in Cyan Town and Viennas City were constantly converting some of the high-tier equipment provided by Leo Ray, as well as those common artworks that were of no use to Leo Ray into cash.
