Just as their mind talk was connected, Linda and Serena’s crisp and energetic voices entered Leo Ray’s ears simultaneously: “Good evening, Lord!” Upon hearing this, Leo Ray nodded in satisfaction.
It must be said that hearing the clear and efficient voices of his two valiant subordinates was quite reassuring.
“Linda, you go first.”
Leo Ray, slightly raising his eyebrows, sat on his throne. He picked up an exquisite silver teapot and poured himself a cup of spring water, then spoke.
“Yes, my Lord!”
Linda’s efficient report echoed again: “Just as you suspected, my Lord, not long after you left, Princess Ariel summoned me to her room and began to inquire about you.”
“Oh? So it is as I thought…”
Hearing this, Leo Ray took a sip of water from his wooden cup, then smiled faintly: “It seems that this Fifth Princess of Coldflame is indeed easy to see through.”
“Moreover, she’s most concerned about our specific strength and the location of our territory.”
Immediately, Linda’s voice rang out again: “Following Lord’s orders, as the Lord of Cyan Town’s advisor, I ambiguously conveyed a series of bizarre pieces of information to her.
For example, your Lordship’s territory is located deep in a Demon Beast’s lair in the Hundred Ranges, and some people have seen you riding a true Dragon Clan member, soaring through the sky, and so on…”
“Very good.”
Upon hearing this, Leo Ray couldn’t help but reveal a satisfied smile.
In this world, the Dragon Clan is an extremely proud and formidable creature.
Their weakest members possess power at least at the Tier 4 level, and a Tier 6 Purple-winged Demon Dragon, like the one he encountered in the Half-Elf Illusion Realm, is an extremely terrifying existence.
Of course, due to the vastness of the continent and the rarity of the Dragon Clan, who have a very strong territorial consciousness and rarely leave their territories, it’s difficult to encounter them.
However, throughout human history, there have indeed been many Dragon Knights.
These Dragon Knights, without exception, are legendary figures, revered and worshipped by many.
In short, only by gaining the genuine approval of the Dragon Clan can one persuade such a noble and formidable creature to bow down and willingly become a mount.
And this is something that over 99% of top-tier fighters cannot achieve, even if their power is greater.
Thinking of this, Leo Ray’s face showed a hint of anticipation, and he thought to himself: “Perhaps, in the future, I too can tame a dragon; it remains to be seen. ”
Regaining his composure, Leo Ray put down his wooden cup and continued:
“Seeing that she must be puzzled after hearing our tales, I suppose Princess Ariel is still in a daze, right?”
With a faint smile and pondering, Leo Ray looked at the remaining half of the clear water in the wooden cup and went on: “By the way, Linda, did she have any suspicions about your identity as the City Lord’s advisor?”
“My Lord, Princess Ariel did indeed probe me many times.”
From the other side, Linda’s respectful voice came through again: “However, following Lord’s instructions, I used my cover as a member of the Sanders Family infiltrating the Otherworldly Lord’s inner circle, and did not reveal any flaws.”
“Very good.”
Nodding in satisfaction, Leo Ray pondered for a moment and then asked: “Did they bring up any other matters?”
“My Lord, in addition to that, Princess Ariel also inquired in detail about the geographical environment around Cyan Town, particularly showing great interest in the other surrounding towns.”
Following that, Linda’s clear voice rang out once more.
“Oh?”
Hearing this, Leo Ray’s face couldn’t help but show a look of deep thought, and he said: “It seems that in addition to avoiding the power struggles in the royal capital, this Ariel has another purpose in her visit to Cyan Town.”
“My Lord, regarding this matter, both Serena and I have noticed some clues during our surveillance.”
On the other side, Serena’s crisp voice entered Leo Ray’s ears: “After Linda left, this Coldflame Princess invited the two Tier 4 powerhouses accompanying her, Giant Axe General Burt and Holy Light General Joshua, to talk.”
During that, besides complaining about the lordship as overly…domineering, she also mentioned ‘that matter’ several times.
But since the three of them didn’t discuss this matter in detail and only decided to stay low for a while and let us lower our guard before making other plans, “It seems the Fifth Princess hasn’t been speaking well of me behind my back.”
Leo Ray chuckled helplessly, took another sip of water, then continued: “Speaking of which, since they plan to lie low for a while, it’s all the better for us to undermine their loyalty.”
Looking at the ripples in the water inside the wooden cup, Leo Ray continued: “Linda, how is the investigation into the background and identity of their entourage going?”
“My Lord, I have divided their entourage into three parts: two Tier 4 Kingdom Generals, five Tier 3 personal maids, and two middle teams of Imperial Guards, as well as other miscellaneous personnel.”
From the other side, Linda’s more neutral voice rang out again: “We are secretly investigating them now, and I believe we will soon have some leads.” “Very good. You’ve both done an excellent job.”
With a slight nod, Leo Ray stood up from his throne at the head of the hall and began to stretch his limbs.
He continued: “In that case, our focus in the next stage should still be on monitoring Ariel and investigating the identities of her entourage.
Only by clarifying the identities of some of the entourage members can we tailor our approach to undermining the loyalty of Princess Cold Flame and obtaining more useful information on her.”
Of course, we must also carefully monitor ‘that matter’ and figure out her other purpose for coming here as soon as possible.”
“Yes, my Lord!”
At the other end of the mind talk, Linda and Serena’s efficient voices entered Leo Ray’s ears simultaneously.
With that, after giving further instructions to the two, Leo Ray closed the communication and headed upstairs to his mansion.
It was time to rest and prepare for the new day.
“It seems there are many intriguing details surrounding this Ariel.”
A moment later, lying on the spacious bed, Leo Ray couldn’t help but reveal a playful smile: “But since she has come to me, many matters will naturally not be up to this arrogant fifth princess of Coldflame..”
