Chapter 554: Chapter 402: Setting Off! Destination: Seal Dragon City_2
At this point, Leo Ray finally put his mind at ease and focused entirely on the surrounding scenery.
Looking at the ever-changing landscape as it flew by, Leo Ray couldn’t help but fall into deep thought once more, whispering to himself, “That’s right, from what Joshua said at that time, we can infer that the Rivers family didn’t know the Coldflame Royal Family’s reason for sealing the Red Dragon.”
“So, why was this Red Dragon trapped in Dragon’s Lair in the first place? What was the Coldflame Royal Family’s purpose in sealing it? What kind of story lies behind all this?”
Curious, Leo Ray activated the Mind Talk again.
He contacted Joshua and Burt, who were with Ariel, and described the situation in Firsdale City, asking if any of them knew anything about it. But the answer was negative from both of them.
Hearing this, Leo Ray pursed his lips slightly and instructed them to see if they could get any information from Ariel before closing the Mind Talk.
In no time, both Joshua and Burt replied, saying that even Ariel, the Coldflame’s Fifth Princess, had no idea about Firsdale City.
Let alone knowing that there was an actual Red Giant Dragon sealed beneath it.
“Even Ariel, a member of the royal family, is kept in the dark?”
Hearing this, Leo Ray furrowed his brow and pondered quietly, “It seems the secrecy surrounding this matter is even greater than I imagined.
Although I can choose to kill this Red Dragon to eliminate future threats, the Coldflame Royal Family must have had a deep meaning behind sealing it for centuries, risking everything in the process.
It’s clear that understanding the ins and outs of the situation will only be advantageous to me. But where else can I get information about this Red Dragon in Firsdale City?”
At this moment, as he dashed with the wind, Leo Ray lowered his body and held tightly onto the long fur on the back of the white giant wolf’s neck, falling into contemplation again.
After a while, Leo Ray’s eyes lit up and he murmured to himself, “That’s right, if this dragon was sealed here during the era of the Hero King six hundred years ago.
Then, why not just ask the Hero King himself, who is resting in the Ancestral Resting Ground of Dragon’s Lair?”
Realizing this, Leo Ray couldn’t help but purse his lips again, continuing his thoughts, “It’s a pity that last time when I visited the Ancestral Resting Ground in Dragon’s Lair, I didn’t have enough time to discuss this topic with King West.
Moreover, to meet him again, I’d need to find the extremely rare Sacred Essence Stone. It seems that, for now, I won’t be able to get any useful information from him.”
Having considered this, Leo Ray sighed softly, relaxed his brow, and thought, “Well, if I really can’t find a way, I’ll just wait for the three Red Dragons to finish investigating and directly ask the sealed giant dragon itself. That might also be a good option.”
“After all, a Tier 5 Level adult giant dragon possesses wisdom on par with the Human, Elf, or Dwarf Clans.”
As Leo Ray made up his mind, the group of seven had already made it through the dense jungle and arrived in familiar territory.
Seeing Leo Ray land at the small entrance on the western side of the territory, Joshua, Serena, and Stella, who had been waiting there, immediately stepped forward and bowed in unison, “Greetings, my Lord!”
“No need for formalities; it’s urgent, let’s set off right away.”
Looking at the three of them ready for action, Leo Ray nodded at Taylor and the others, signaling them to gather in the open space within the territory.
At this time, standing to the left of Leo Ray, in order, were Taylor, Gideon Black, Scarlett, Serena, and Stella.
On the right side were Joshua, Bianca White, Abigail, and Amelia.
“A Tier 5 Powerhouse, four Tier 4 Powerhouses, plus myself and five Tier 3 Pinnacle Powerhouses?”
As Leo Ray’s gaze swept over the group, he nodded in satisfaction. Holding a Teleportation Crystal, he said, “Let’s go! Destination: Firsdale City.”
The next moment, with Leo Ray crushing the Teleportation Crystal in his hand-
A faint gray, mysterious energy immediately enveloped everyone.
Within a moment, accompanied by a strong gust of wind, the group of ten vanished from the territory.
…
“Sister Quinn, is Master Leo really going to teleport here in a bit?” asked the petite Myla, blinking her sparkling eyes, to the tall and slender Quinn Serena.Since bidding farewell on the Ancient Ship last time, the fact that she could meet Master Leo again so soon made this female lord with treasure hunting talent somewhat excited.
“Hmm, we should be arriving soon, right?”
Upon hearing that, Quinn Serena’s delicate face looked a little nervous and tense, as she tidied her long hair and responded.
Behind the two women, rows of neatly-arranged subordinates in standard light armor and waist-carrying longswords stood, their faces full of excitement as well.
It should be known that the scene where that young male lord defeated Levi Marshall with a single punch was still fresh in everyone’s memory.
This was not an otherworldly lord at all; he was simply a superhero!
In a short while, a grey light circle with a diameter of several meters suddenly appeared on the spacious ground before everyone.
At the same time, a faint ripple of strange energy quietly spread throughout the surroundings.
In just a moment, the light grey circle gradually turned into a large gray light curtain, and the energy ripples it emitted became increasingly stronger.
In the next second, as the strong wind caused by the energy ripples rose and dust filled the air, Quinn Serena’s and Myla’s hair fluttered, making it almost impossible to open their eyes.
The subordinates behind the two also couldn’t help but cover their faces and step back.
At the same time, ten figures appeared out of thin air, and then transformed into shooting stars in the blink of an eye, disappearing right there on the spot.
Only Quinn Serena and the others were still standing there, disheveled in the wind.
After a brief moment, when everything had become quiet once more, everyone present noticed that the open space before them had been left empty, as if nothing had happened at all.
For a while, Quinn Serena and Myla looked at each other, clearly both stuck in a state of stupor.
As for the common subordinates, they were looking at each other, bewildered.
“Sister Quinn, leader of our group, I think I just saw something flying past.”
After a while, Myla blinked her starry eyes, and then stretched out her slender hand, making a rocket up-to-the-sky gesture: “It was just like… whoosh!”
“…It really seemed like a whoosh.” On the other side, Quinn Serena numbly nodded and then sighed softly, her brows furrowed.
Just at that moment, her private message notification sounded.
Excitedly opening it, she saw that Leo Ray had left only two words: Thanks.
Immediately after, while Quinn was still feeling a little disappointed, she noticed that behind the private message was an attachment. Inside it, there was a round magic medicine.
Curiously opening the attribute interface, a look of surprise appeared on Quinn Serena’s face. It turned out to be a Qi Condensing Pill.
Without a doubt, this magic medicine was enough to make her, who was at the Tier 1 Peak Level, break her shackles and reach the long-awaited Tier Second Level!
Realizing this, overjoyed, Quinn Serena’s long eyelashes fluttered as she hastily prepared to send Leo Ray a grateful reply while jumping up with excitement.
Seeing this, Myla and the subordinates beside her couldn’t help but exchange puzzled glances once more.
Goodness, the usually serious and heroic leader Quinn Serena, which nerve of hers had suddenly gone wrong?
…
Time passed, and Leo Ray, who had already rushed out of the Pine Sound Range, narrowed his eyes as he observed the vast plains after closing Quinn Serena’s lengthy thank you messages.
Before long, the outline of a strange city gradually emerged in his sight.
