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

Chapter 1997: Chapter 1122 Ester’s Memories

“As long as Her Majesty the Queen is pleased.”

Watching Ariel’s delighted expression, Leo Ray smiled faintly.

Though devoid of transformation, the strength remained unchanged, not bound by the identities of Lava Magus and Stone Spirit, but instead became even more formidable.

“Mother, I recall, once when I was little, I accidentally saw Mother take out this red [Divine Stone]. No wonder I felt a familiar aura.”

As Leo Ray and Ariel exchanged a knowing smile, Alfred, with white hair, pouted, furrowing his brows at the graceful Ester, “I didn’t expect Mother to hide it even from me.”

“I’ve watched you grow since you were a child. Could I not know that though you were valiant and upright, you lacked some of the deep cunning and strategic foresight of a king?”

Ester casually tugged Alfred’s ear, furrowing her brows, “If I told you, your big mouth would have long spread the news, making it hard for you to handle, and bringing catastrophe to Coldflame Kingdom.”

“Speaking of which, you secretly snuck out on a private visit, hiding from the little lion, and in the end, perished alongside two giant dragons. I haven’t had time to punish you, you rash renegade.”

“Had the little lion been beside you, you wouldn’t have left the whole of Coldflame Kingdom to the side, temporarily plunging it into the plight of being ruler-less. You were just scolding little George, but I think you deserve the scolding most!”

Saying so, Ester increased the force, causing Alfred to grit his teeth in pain and plead for mercy.

Noticing this rather amusing scene, Leo Ray couldn’t help but laugh softly, nodding to indicate Ariel to temporarily conceal the identity again and open the attribute column.

[Name: Divine Stone π](Activated)

[Quality: Superior]

[God’s Power: 100%]

[Belongs to: Ariel Ward]

[Secret Spell Structure: Transform into Human (Fully becomes a Human, possesses all attributes of the Human Clan, and cannot be detected as true identity by any other race “including other Divine Stones”)]

“Indeed, it’s exactly as the Rose King described? In this way, along with Yoyo and Little Illusion, I now have the third [Divine Stone].”

Leo Ray closed the attribute column, nodded with satisfaction.

While Leo Ray was inwardly pleased, Ester released the pleading Alfred and smiled again at Leo Ray and Ariel, “This way, it’s also a weight off my heart.”

“Thanks for the ancestral gift of Este!”

Ariel knelt, bowing deeply to the former Queen of Coldflame before her.

“Girl, you are talented and clever, and with the assistance of the young Holy Lion Prince, you will surely be known in history as a Coldflame Monarch. Your accomplishments are likely to surpass those of us old folks; we should be thanking you instead.”

Ester stooped to help Ariel up, smiling, “I believe Coldflame Kingdom, under your guidance, will surely reach unprecedented peak brilliance.”

Having said this, the other Coldflame Monarchs nodded along.

“Rose King’s praise is too much; we will certainly give our best effort, and, of course, count on the teaching and help from each of Your Majesties and Excellencies.”

Leo Ray, having spoken, became solemn anew, formally asked, “Rose King, might you tell us where you obtained this [Divine Stone]?”

“To be honest, Prince’s Palace, it dates back to when I was young.”

Ester’s starry eyes grew distant, again immersed in memories.

Through Ester’s narration, Leo Ray learned.

In the past, when she was just a Princess Cold Flame, Ester loved adventure and once secretly ventured many times alone to the Outer Region’s more expansive domain.

During this process, the young and reckless Ester inadvertently befriended a powerful Foreign Race Illusionist from the Outer Region, which is how she discovered her Illusion Skill Talent and subsequently apprenticed under him, embarking on her journey of Magic and Martial Dual Cultivation.

“So, Rose King’s illusions weren’t taught by the Human Clan?”

Leo Ray, hearing this, nodded thoughtfully.

“Right, I intermittently studied with the teacher for five years; the rapid progress in illusions was due to the teacher’s thorough guidance and some precious Magic Medicine given.”

Ester nodded slightly, then, however, helplessly shook her head, “Sadly, by graduation day, I didn’t even know the teacher’s race or appearance, let alone what the teacher’s name was.”

“How it seems somewhat familiar.”

Leo Ray recalling Olivia’s description of Elusa, laughed wryly.

It seems secrecy and obscured identity are staples of every Illusion Master’s skill set.

“On graduation day, the teacher, with a mysterious smile on his face transformed by illusions, led me to the legendary Shadow Market and told me to choose any item as a graduation gift, no matter what, the teacher would help me obtain it.”

Ester’s spirited voice carried a blend of gratitude and nostalgia.

“The moment I stepped into the market, I was astounded. I had never imagined such an awe-inspiring mystical market.”

“In the Shadow Market, I could easily see rare secluded races like Elf Tribe, Dwarf Clan, and Winged Race, just as one would see ordinary pedestrians. Everything was so natural.”
