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

Chapter 556: Chapter 403: The Abnormal Illusionary Realm_2

As Taylor finished speaking, Gideon Black, Scarlett, and the sisters Serena and Stella, all at the Tier 4 Level, also nodded solemnly.

The reason for this was the high number of people in the city, resulting in a chaotic mix of various auras.

Even for these Tier 4 Powerhouses, they could only vaguely sense that something was indeed abnormal.

“What’s going on? What has happened at the City Lord Mansion? How are my father and the others?”

Upon hearing this, Joshua Bingaman, who was leading the way at the front of the group, had a worried and anxious expression on his delicate white face.

“Don’t worry, everything will be resolved.”

After comforting Joshua through Mind Talk, Leo Ray looked at the bustling streets below and the smiling faces of the ordinary residents while instructing solemnly, “Move forward at full speed. Regardless of what has happened in the castle, we must resolve it before the three giant dragons arrive, otherwise, the city will undoubtedly be in danger.”

“Yes, my Lord!”

In response, the resolute voices of the subordinates rang out.

In this way, after a short time, Leo Ray’s group, still wearing their Invisibility Cloaks, appeared outside the courtyard gate of Firsdale City’s Lord Manor.

Of course, Joshua Bingaman, the heir to the Rivers Family, and Abigail, the head maid of the Rivers Family, had already removed their invisibility cloaks.

At the moment, under the bright sunlight, the gate to the ancient castle garden was tightly closed.

A squad of Royal Guard soldiers in shiny armor stood neatly and faithfully fulfilling their duties.

“Miss Bingaman, you’re back!”

Seeing Joshua’s slender figure, the middle-aged squad leader guarding the perimeter of the castle immediately ran over and respectfully bowed with a fist, “I will inform the City Lord immediately!”

At the same time, the other guards also showed a mix of excitement and awe, apparently not noticing the abnormal situation inside the castle.

“There’s no need.”

After receiving Leo Ray’s instructions, Joshua said firmly, “Abigail and I will go in by ourselves. All of you should stay here. No one is allowed to enter without my orders today.”

“Yes, ma’am!”

Hearing this, despite his puzzled expression, the Royal Guard squad leader still respectfully ordered his subordinates to open the gate to the castle.

Next, as Leo Ray’s group of ten quickly passed through a beautifully landscaped courtyard,

The ancient castle, which served as the City Lord’s Mansion, was fully displayed before Leo Ray.

Without time to admire the majestic and spectacular towering castle, the group could clearly observe that the soldiers guarding the entrance of the castle had fallen to the ground in a messy fashion.

At the same time, through the metallic sluice gate that had not completely fallen at the entrance of the castle,

An unusual energy fluctuation was slowly emanating from within.

“Reporting to my Lord, there are no external injuries on these soldiers, and their breathing is steady. They appear to have fallen into an unexplained state of unconsciousness,” Serena reported after examining the soldiers and appearing before Leo Ray with a salute.

Following her, Stella descended from the sky like a ghost and shyly bowed before Leo Ray, “Reporting… Reporting to my Lord, there are no suspicious signs around the castle.”

At this moment, the delicate twin sisters both looked excited, as they had not worked with Leo Ray for some time.

“I must say, after advancing to Tier 4 Powerhouses, the speed of these elusive girls has become more and more terrifying.”

Giving a nod and gesturing for the sisters to stand by, Leo Ray pondered and murmured, “As Taylor said, there seems to be some sort of sudden situation here.

And judging from the current situation, it’s likely that this sudden event has spread from inside the castle.”

Realizing this, Leo Ray focused his attention on the strange energy that continued to emanate from the gate.

“Reporting to my Lord, this unusual energy fluctuation seems to have a connection with the Illusion realm, but it is not the same as man-made illusions, naturally formed mirages, or Illusion Crystals, and there is a lot of violent energy within it.”On the other side, Gideon Black, who stood at the entrance of the castle, pushed his gold-rimmed glasses up the bridge of his nose and spoke in a puzzled tone after sensing something for a while, “This is the first time I have encountered such an unusual situation.”

“Similar to an Illusion Realm, but not quite the same?”

Hearing this, a contemplative expression appeared on Leo Ray’s face once again.

As his understanding of this world deepened over time, Leo Ray knew clearly.

As Gideon had just mentioned, although there are countless variations of illusion realms, their common origins generally fall into three categories.

The first type is created by Illusionists, either on the spot or arranged in advance.

The second type is a naturally formed Mirage.

The third type is the recorded Illusion Realm projected by Illusion Crystals.

“I have encountered all three types multiple times, be it in the Half-Elf Barrier, the Ancient Battlefield Ruins, the ancient warships, or even the recent Crystal Kingdom.”

However, the current seemingly ambiguous situation was indeed something he had never encountered before. So, what exactly happened inside the castle? Why did this unusual kind of illusion appear?”

As he pondered, curiosity and confusion filled Leo Ray’s mind, causing cold sweat to form on his forehead.

One could imagine how dangerous the situation would be if they couldn’t resolve the current issue before the arrival of the three giant dragons.

In order to suppress the Red Dragon in the Underground Firsdale Territory, they had to deal with the problem at hand – which meant identifying the source of the unusual illusion.

At this moment, the other subordinates present, who also realized the gravity of the situation, couldn’t help but reveal a somber expression on their faces as well.

Joshua Bingaman and Abigail, in particular, both bit their lips tightly, their faces clearly showing anxiety.

If the worst happened, this peaceful city would undoubtedly be engulfed in the flames of vengeance from several Dragon Clans within an instant.

“My Lord, I have detected a faint Dragon Clan aura in this unusual illusion,” Taylor reported in a puzzled voice.

“The aura of the Dragon Clan? Has the dragon already broken free from the seal?” asked Leo Ray with a serious expression.

“My Lord, that is the strangest part. I did not feel any energy fluctuations from the Dragon Clan within the castle. There is only a faint Dragon Clan aura wafting through it,” Taylor replied with an uncertain expression.

“An unusual illusion that contains the aura of the Dragon Clan…”

At this moment, Scarlett blinked her signature big eyes thoughtfully for a while before exclaiming in sudden realization, “My Lord, I know what is going on. It’s a Dragon Mirage!”

“Dragon Mirage?”

Upon hearing this unfamiliar term, Leo Ray slightly nodded his head, signaling for Scarlett to continue.

“My Lord, I also happened to come across information about the Dragon Mirage by accident in the Grand Attic Library of the Magic Tower, which records all things. It was mentioned in a dusty, ancient book,” explained Scarlett solemnly. She then sped up her speech, “In simple terms, the so-called Dragon Mirage is an even rarer and more special illusion than the naturally formed Mirage.

“As for the reason it forms, apart from extremely rare and special conditions, another critical factor is the dreams of the Dragon Clan itself. In other words, Dragon Mirage essentially means the materialization of a dragon’s dream!”

“An illusion triggered by dreams, huh? Interesting.”

Leo Ray pondered for a moment, then said thoughtfully, “So, does this mean that the sealed giant dragon is still dormant?”

“My Lord, that is correct.”

Scarlett nodded slightly and continued, “So, according to our previous plan, if we can delve deep underground and suppress that giant dragon, everything will naturally be resolved.”

“I understand now.”

Upon hearing this, Leo Ray smiled faintly and said, “Then let me see for myself what’s so special about this Dragon Mirage that only forms under very rare conditions.”
