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

Chapter 900: Chapter 571 Leah_2

In the center of the room, there was a single bed, on which a pale, middle-aged man lay.

“Father!”

Seeing this scene, siblings Rita and Reece both had tears in their eyes as they rushed over.

Upon getting closer, Leo Ray noticed more details.

The middle-aged man was probably in his early fifties, with his eyes tightly closed and faint breathing. Although his complexion looked extremely pale, there was a strong hint of resilience in his brow, giving him the air of a rugged, middle-aged man.

“Is this Lord Hode?”

...

Looking at the worried expression on the faces of Rita and Reece standing by the bedside, Leo Ray mumbled to himself.

“I’m sorry, Your Excellency, there are no magic medicine reserves in this Land of Divine Favor,” said Leah, shaking her head in helplessness. “Initially, there used to be a statue of the Father God on the square where you first appeared. We could stand there and pray for the Father God’s mercy to heal all wounds, but for some reason, the place is now empty.”

With a slight sigh, Leah lowered her head like a child who had done something wrong and said, “Therefore, I can only use the common herbs I planted in my spare time to treat Marquis Hode’s injuries.”

“It’s fine. You’ve done a great job. Leave the rest to me,” replied Leo Ray, nodding slightly and then signaling to Gideon Black and Joshua who were standing nearby.

Understanding the signal, the two senior Tier 4 healing powerhouses, one black and one white, immediately began their work.

Wave after wave of life force energy rippled through the room, making the sun-filled space even warmer, evoking a feeling of springtime.

After an all-out treatment from Gideon Black and Joshua, combined with Leo Ray providing a Tier 3 magic medicine specifically for treating magical injuries, Marquis Hode’s pale face noticeably regained a healthy flush, and his previously weak breathing gradually became stronger.

After a while, under the tireless efforts of the two healing powerhouses, the Lord of Golin City, who had been unconscious for a week, finally opened his eyes slowly.

“…Rita, Reece, how did you end up here?”

In a weak and puzzled voice, Lord Hode, who had just opened his eyes, exclaimed in astonishment, “Am I dreaming?”

“Father, you’re finally awake!”

Rita, who had been faithfully keeping vigil by the bedside, immediately clasped Hode’s large hand, tears of joy streaming down her face. “I’m so relieved!”

Reece, standing beside her, was similarly overcome with joy and unable to speak.

Seeing this scene, Leo Ray couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.

At this point, the main goal of his trip was successfully accomplished.

“Princess?!”

After regaining some strength, Lord Hode’s shocked expression couldn’t be contained once he saw Ariel Watson, the princess, standing nearby. He blurted out, “How come you’re here?!”

Lord Hode then struggled to sit up, intending to bow down as a humble gesture. As a noble who adhered to the knightly spirit, he had always treated modesty as his first rule of conduct.

Moreover, right now he was facing the highest pinnacle of authority on this land – Princess Ariel Watson from the Coldflame Royal Family.

“Lord Hode, there’s no need for such formalities,” Ariel Watson hurriedly waved her hand to stop him. “We’re currently in a unique situation, so you should focus on your health first.”

“As you wish, Your Highness!”

Upon hearing this, Lord Hode lay back down with Rita and Reece’s assistance.”Father, it’s all thanks to Princess Ariel and Mr. Lane that they risked their lives and brought us here in search of you…”

Seeing the bewilderment in Lord Hode’s eyes, Rita briefly explained what had happened during the time he had been missing and the arrival of Leo Ray’s party.

Of course, since Leo Ray didn’t have a Tier 4 Recruitment Order yet, Ariel was the one leading all their efforts.

“So that’s what happened… What honor and merit do I have to deserve the help of the Princess and Mr. Lane, such powerful people, who dared to take such risks?”

After listening to Rita’s account, gratitude and excitement appeared on Lord Hode’s resolute face. He was at a loss for what to say.

As a City Lord, he understood clearly.

If they could really succeed in getting out, the actions of the Princess and Mr. Lane would not only save his life and his position as City Lord, but also save his children!

He couldn’t think of any other way to repay such kindness, other than swearing to follow Princess Ariel to the death.

Seeing Lord Hode’s excitement, Leo Ray nodded slightly.

At present, he had already subdued the siblings Rita and Reece. Through Mind Talk, he could command them and know the latest news of Golin City at any time and place.

Thus, if Lord Hode pledged loyalty to Ariel, it would be no different than pledging loyalty to Leo Ray himself.

After all, the Coldflame Kingdom was vast, with countless cities. With his future expansion efforts, he couldn’t possibly have the energy to engage with every City Lord.

This was also his original intention of supporting Ariel to ascend the Coldflame throne. As long as he controlled the Queen of Coldflame, he would naturally control the entire Coldflame Kingdom.

“Alright, Lord Hode, Princess Ariel and I need to continue searching for a way out. Please excuse us for now.”

After leaving the siblings Rita and Reece, Leo Ray’s party temporarily left the room with Leah.

Of course, to be on the safe side, he connected with Rita and Reece’s Mind Talk before leaving. In this way, if anything happened to them, he would be able to detect it in time.

Back in the bright hall from before, Leah looked at the fair-skinned Ariel Watson and couldn’t help but say, “You are all extraordinary people indeed. I haven’t seen a princess for 3,000 years.”

Thinking for a moment, with a flicker of her slender eyelashes, Leah continued, “Although my memory has almost been completely erased, I still vaguely remember that the last person to come here before the catastrophe was a princess from the Light Elf Race.”

As she said this, Leah’s gaze fell on Leo Ray, and she asked with curiosity, “You seem to be even more powerful than the Princess. Are you now the king of the outer world?”

“I used to be just an insignificant ordinary person.”

With a slight smile, Leo Ray dodged the question, “Let’s go. Please take us to the center of the Barrier you mentioned earlier.”

“Sir, as I said before, unless my father the God is here, no one else can charge the Array Eye Crystal.”

Leah helplessly shook her head and looked at Leo Ray with a puzzled expression, “Since that’s the case, why do you still insist on trying something in vain? You might as well consider how to make a living in this place. It’s impossible for you to leave.”

“Not necessarily.”

Leo Ray continued to smile faintly and said, “Perhaps I can do things ordinary people cannot.”

“You are really a strange person.”

Once again tilting her head, Leah stared at Leo Ray for a while and then spoke, “Fine, I’ll take you there to see it, so you can completely give up on the idea.”

Having said that, Leah shrugged and walked to the front of the group again.

Leaving the building, following Leah’s guidance, Leo Ray and the others crossed the huge square from before and headed directly to the other side of the city.

After walking for about ten more minutes on the desolate and empty streets, a two-story white building, indistinguishable from the surrounding buildings, appeared in front of Leo Ray.

“Is this where the center of the Barrier Area is?”

Looking at the ordinary house that occupied no more than a hundred square meters, a puzzled expression emerged on Leo Ray’s face.
