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

Chapter 625: Chapter 437: The Next Arrangement and Return_2

This trip to the Viennas City ruins was quite fruitful.

Not only did they obtain the Titan Tribe’s sacred treasure, the Titan’s Eye, a broken Tier 6 Battle Axe, and ten broken Tier 5 Battle Axes.

Moreover, the relationship with the two Knight Order leaders had evidently taken a significant step forward.

“At present, Tina of the Blue Rose Knights and Layne of the Broken Blade Knights have basically reached the point where they can be recruited.

However, I’ve used up all my Tier 3 Recruitment Orders, and I have no opportunity to be alone with them while they’re dealing with the aftermath of the ruins.

So, I’ll focus on recruiting them after by visiting their respective Knight Orders’ bases, which will also allow me to take a look at the surrounding terrain.”

With this thought, Leo Ray took another sip of tea and continued to ponder: “As for Kelsey’s father Gael, judging from the situation during the exploration of the ruins, he’s essentially no different from our subordinates, and can be recruited as long as we have spare Tier 4 Recruitment Orders.”

Putting down the teacup in his hand, Leo Ray thought again: “In addition, there’s the Lord of Viennas City, Asher Porter. As I’ve thought before, if I can recruit him, it would be equivalent to controlling this important commercial city.”

“This will play a crucial role in achieving our primary objective of controlling the entire Coldflame Eastern Region, as the city of Viennas is the hub of nearly half of the food and daily necessities of the Eastern Region.”

Thinking of this, Leo Ray stood up from his seat, casually putting the Titan’s Eye on the ground into his Space Bracelet, and slowly paced through the luxurious reception room, falling into deep thought again.

After showing a glimpse of his strength in the ruins, Lord Asher probably had some fear of him now, but that wasn’t enough to recruit him smoothly.

What sets Viennas City apart from smaller cities like Mystara City and Firsdale City is its undeniable importance as one of the heavyweights in the Coldflame Eastern Region.

It’s imaginable that besides Leo Ray, those in power in Coldflame also understand this well. It goes without saying that this was the case when the old king personally presided over the city.

At present, during this intense power struggle in the Royal Capital, figuring out whether Asher has already sided with a particular prince is the most crucial matter.

“Only after clarifying this point and considering Asher’s common enemy, the mysterious organization, can I find an entry point to completely recruit him.”

With this thought, Leo Ray walked to Kelsey, who was standing respectfully, and asked, “How much do you know about Lord Asher?”

“My Lord, Lord Asher holds the title of Coldflame Marquis, and Viennas City is his family’s territory,” Kelsey explained respectfully, slightly bowing to Leo Ray.

Although she was usually fearless in Viennas City, she still felt somewhat restrained when being only a few inches away from Leo Ray.

Lowering her head slightly, she continued, “However, to the best of my knowledge, Asher inherited the family business and became the Lord of Viennas City ten years ago. Before that, he seemed to have been a court Mage in the Coldflame Royal Family.”

“I see.”

Leo Ray stroked his chin thoughtfully and asked again, “Are there any princes with whom he has closer relations?”

“My Lord, I don’t know about this,” Kelsey shook her head after a moment of contemplation. “But I grew up in Viennas City and know very well that it wasn’t as prosperous as it is now ten years ago. It was Asher’s consistent taxation policy over the past decade that has made Viennas City increasingly prosperous.

Moreover, under Asher’s administration, other policies in Viennas City are slightly better than those of the surrounding cities. He also doesn’t offend ordinary citizens and has quite a good reputation. Otherwise, hiring a few Tier 4 Powerhouses and other Tier 3 Powerhouses wouldn’t have drained Viennas City’s treasury.”

“I understand. It seems that Asher is indeed a standout among the Coldflame aristocracy.”

Nodding slightly, Leo Ray pondered for a moment and said, “In the recent period, keep a close watch on Lord Asher’s movements, and report anything to me in a timely manner, especially any visits to Viennas City by people from other princes.””Yes, my Lord! Please rest assured!”

Upon hearing this, Kelsey clenched her fists with a confident look and said, “My father has been on good terms with Lord Asher. It should not be a problem to accomplish this task!”

“Very well, this is extremely important for our future plans, so keep it in mind.”

After nodding slightly to Kelsey, Leo Ray continued, “Also, it would be best to find out indirectly what position Asher held in the Coldflame Royal Family.”

After acknowledging his words, Kelsey bowed.

Leo Ray then returned to his seat and began to ponder the next move, “By the way, I haven’t claimed today’s Recruitment Order yet, and I haven’t returned to my Territory for almost two days and a night. There are still some matters left unattended, so let’s go back to the Territory first and recuperate.”

After making the decision, Leo Ray summoned Serena and Stella, who were still in the Titan Clan Ruins, via Mind Talk.

He also instructed Kelsey to report any developments in the Ruins as soon as possible.

“Yes, my Lord!”

On the other side, Kelsey bowed slightly, and then said, “My Lord, lunch is ready. I will inform the kitchen staff to heat it up.”

So, after Serena and Stella had returned and everyone had finished eating at the Trading Conference’s restaurant, Leo Ray led his subordinates back to the luxurious reception room he had used before.

“Kelsey, practice well. I believe we will meet again soon.”

Nodding to the fiery lady of Viennas City in front of him, Leo Ray focused his thoughts and a Returning Crystal appeared in his palm.

Leo Ray had noticed earlier that Red Night, who had signed the Dragon Blood Contract, was registered in the Territory’s population interface like other subordinates, allowing her to use Mind Talk normally.

As a result, Red Night, like Leo Ray’s other subordinates and submissive races, could also use the Returning Crystal.

“Yes, my Lord! Don’t worry, I’ll take care of everything in Viennas City.”

Upon hearing this, Kelsey stepped back a few steps and bowed to Leo Ray once again.

Leo Ray then signaled Taylor, Red Night, Gideon Black, Serena, Stella, Scarlett, Bianca White, Abigail, and Amelia to gather around him. He crushed the Returning Crystal in his hand,

The next second, accompanied by a wave of energy fluctuations, a familiar blue light screen rose up and enveloped the group.

As time passed, under Kelsey’s watchful eye, the blue light screen around the group became increasingly dense.

Immediately after that, Leo Ray felt a strong flash of light in front of him, so dazzling that he could barely keep his eyes open, and his body suddenly became weightless.

In a short moment, when the solid feeling of his feet on the ground reappeared, Leo Ray found himself back in his familiar Territory.

At that time, it was already in the middle of the afternoon. The temperature beneath the two suns above was noticeably milder, giving a lovely warm feeling.

Looking at the familiar entrance of the Lord’s Mansion, Leo Ray took a deep breath of the refreshing air with a hint of cement smell.

Then he turned to Scarlett and Bianca with Red Night and said, “Scarlett, Bianca, show Red Night around our territory first. As for her accommodation, arrange for her to stay in the empty room next to yours.”

At this point, seeing Red Night curiously looking around for the first time in the territory, Leo Ray smiled and said, “I will introduce you to the others during the meeting.”

“Yes, my Lord!”

Upon hearing this, the three of them saluted in unison and then left together.

After nodding slightly and instructing his other subordinates to disperse, Leo Ray headed straight back to the Lord’s Mansion.

Now it was time to deal with the series of unfinished matters.
