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

Chapter 520: Chapter 384: The Hidden Mystery_2

“So, they only use Gold Dragons for settlements with the outside world, preferring to take a small loss rather than accepting Silver Dragons and Copper Dragons as change, right?”

“Exactly.”

Bianca White, sitting nearby and putting down the fragrant cookie in her hand, chimed in: “The currency system in the Coldflame Kingdom has long been well-established.

Such a situation, where only a part of the system is in use, is indeed puzzling.”

“What is most crucial is that the rookie mercenary just now, when he took out a few Silver Dragons, was even surrounded by the local residents.”

Scarlett reached out her slender hand, picking up another cookie from the square plate, and continued while slightly parting her red lips: “That shows.

Local residents seem to have a strong aversion to Silver Dragons and Copper Dragons.

This is simply baffling.”

“The third point is undoubtedly the geographical location of the kingdom itself.”

Nodding slightly, Leo Ray finished the hot tea in the white porcelain cup in his hand, and continued: “Although there is no strategic value in these mountains.

They don’t need to worry about being swallowed up by Coldflame and Saint Night.

However, this also means that most of the income is used to buy food to sustain their lives, which fundamentally limits the further development of the city.

What’s even more puzzling is that the young people here seem to have no desire for the vast world outside and are very content with their present situation.

Moreover, unlike Magnet Town and Redarrow City, there seem to be no restrictions on the local residents here.”

“Lord’s words are absolutely right.”

On the other side, Abigail, with neat short hair and dressed in a black-and-white maid outfit, leaned over and refilled Leo Ray’s cup with hot tea.

Then she pondered: “For a city without any pillar industries, this situation is indeed unusual.”

“You make a good point.”

Amelia, also wearing a maid outfit and with braided hair, rested her cheek on her hand and mused: “It seems that this city in the mountains has a reason to be built here.

Or perhaps, the local residents have some unspeakable secrets that prevent them from going out into the world.”

“This is indeed a city full of mysteries.”

Hearing this, Linda, who was sitting next to Leo Ray, stood up, bowed to him, and said: “As for the fourth point.

It was the screeching sound of something hard scraping against the wall and the sudden shaking of the room when I stayed here years ago.

However, according to the short, fat merchant who stays here every month, he has never experienced anything like this.

Maybe that incident back then was just a coincidence…”

After speaking, Linda’s tone became somewhat uncertain.

“It’s too early to make a definitive conclusion.”

Leo Ray raised his hand slightly, signaling the respectful and standing Linda to sit back down, picked up the freshly filled teacup, and took a small sip.

Then he continued: “If it was just a coincidence.

It would not explain the deliberate concealment by the innkeeper and staff afterwards.”

“Lord’s analysis is very accurate.”

Sitting back beside Leo Ray, Linda, who felt that her body was somewhat stiff, couldn’t help but show a puzzled look and said: “But if it wasn’t a coincidence.

How could the short, fat merchant who often stays here never feel anything?”

“We don’t know that yet.” Shaking his head slightly, Leo Ray put down the steaming teacup and continued: “In summary.

Up to now, these doubts all indicate that this mountainous area is not as peaceful as we see on the surface.

Moreover, if nothing goes wrong.

These doubts are likely to point to the same hidden mystery.

However, we currently lack crucial clues.”

Hearing this, Leo Ray’s subordinates next to him nodded thoughtfully and all fell into deep thought.

After a moment, Taylor, who had been standing close to Leo Ray, stepped forward and said with a fist: “Lord, I have completely confirmed the number of Tier 3 and above powerhouses in this small kingdom.

There are twelve in total, the strongest being at the Tier 3 Peak Level. Most of them are located in the ancient castle at the end of the city.

No Tier 4 or above powerhouses have been discovered so far.” “Twelve Tier 3 Powerhouses, huh? For a country with almost no population movement and insufficient resources for cultivation, it’s quite impressive strength.”

After all, the scale here is at most equivalent to an ordinary city within the Coldflame Kingdom.”

Hearing this, Leo Ray contemplated and nodded.

On the other side, Taylor continued, still bowing, “Lord, there is one more thing that puzzles me.”

That is the vast majority of the buildings here, including a large number of Ordinary residential houses, are using.”

Special materials that have the function of concealing their aura, which made my perception a little slower.”

For a rarely visited Mountain Domain, such a situation is undoubtedly extremely rare.”

“I noticed it too.”

With a slight nod, Leo Ray stroked his chin thoughtfully and said, “It seems that this city is deliberately hiding its strength.”

However, this includes a large number of ordinary houses, which seems a bit baffling.”

After all, it’s understandable to hide the aura of an army camp and the City Lord Mansion.”

But most ordinary people don’t even have an Energy Vortex and are below Tier 1 Two-star, so there’s no need for them to hide at all…”

Thinking about it, Leo Ray slightly furrowed his brows and continued pondering, “Could it be that what they’re hiding isn’t just about their superficial strength?”

So, what exactly are they hiding?”

After contemplating for a long time with no clues, Leo Ray pursed his lips and then spoke to his subordinates, “It seems.”

The fifth doubt about this place has also been found.”

That is the concealed aura function of these buildings, obviously not just for hiding their superficial strength.”

“That’s true.”

On the other side, Linda also furrowed her brows slightly and mused for a moment, then murmured, “What else could they hide, it’s simply beyond comprehension.”

Add in the previous points of doubt.”

Just what kind of mystery is hidden in this bizarre Mountain Domain?”

“We don’t know yet.”

Once again picking up the tea cup, Leo Ray drained the remaining tea and then said, “However, what can be certain is.”

So far, we’re getting closer and closer to this hidden mystery.”

Placing down the empty porcelain cup, Leo Ray thought for a moment and added, “Moreover, this hidden mystery.”

It must be inextricably linked with Burt.”

Therefore, regarding these two unknown answers.”

No matter if we first uncover the reason for Burt’s name being taboo here.”

Or first unveil the mystery hidden in the Mountain Domain, the answer to the other will be close.”

“Lord is right.”

At this moment, Scarlett, like a little hamster, along with Bianca White, had emptied the square plate of cookies, rubbing her satisfied little belly.”

And then she asked doubtfully, “My Lord, what should we do next?”

From the current situation, it seems that we have reached a deadlock.”

“I’ve already asked the short and fat merchant just now. Merchant Ayla we had met before, who we encountered before, although she has a shabby little shop on the surface.”

She’s one of the few from the Crystal Kingdom who ventures out into the external world.”

Moreover, she once said that she had the exclusive selling rights to a newly discovered White Jade Ore vein.”

To know that even an ordinary ore vein is worth its weight in gold.”

Obviously, it’s not a resource that an ordinary shop owner can easily acquire.”

From this, it becomes clear that Ayla’s identity is not as simple as it seems.”

Therefore, the next breakthrough should still lie with her.”

As Leo Ray analyzed up till this point, something unexpected happened on this mysterious land.
