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

Chapter 1998: Chapter 1122: Ester’s Memories_2

“When selecting a gift, at first I intended to choose a National Level Divine Weapon, which is extremely rare among the Human various countries. However, even in the Shadow Market, although Tier 5 Equipment is plentiful and dazzling, they are still precious existences. After much hesitation, I couldn’t bring myself to ask my mentor for it.”

“After all, the value of a National Level Divine Weapon is excessively expensive. I haven’t had time to express my gratitude for my mentor’s careful guidance over the years, how could I let him spend that much?”

“After experiencing a wondrous journey, I settled in a rare corner of the market, near a booth of a Winged Race vendor with broken wings, and eventually selected this [Divine Stone] from the shabby stand.”

“Because this red stone was covered in dirt at the time, looking dull and unremarkable, and without any energy fluctuation, after my mentor confirmed my choice repeatedly, he succeeded in exchanging it with just two Tier 4 Illusion Scrolls.”

“The time spent together is always fleeting. After bidding farewell to my mentor with reluctance, knowing that I had delayed outside for too long, I immediately set off from the Outer Region, traversing mountains and rivers, and returned to Lion City of the Royal Capital.”

“The first thing upon returning to the court, I carefully cleaned the red gemstone. At the time, even though I considered it to be a common gemstone without anything magical, because it was a gift from my mentor, I still treated it with great rarity by placing it into a silk box as decoration on my bedside table.”

“Not until that night, when I received the ’Divine Revelation’ in a dream, did I realize that the seemingly ordinary red gemstone was actually a [Divine Stone] capable of peering into the world’s truth.”

Ester’s tone held traces of amazement as she continued recounting the past.

“I’ve already described subsequent events earlier.”

“Upon realizing the stone’s characteristics, I activated the [Divine Stone] based on Earl Jenkins’ pattern, named it Little Lion, and secretly nurtured it by my side until I was crowned king.”

“Though the Coldflame Kingdom was peaceful then, there were undercurrents all around. I clearly understood that instead of exploring the world’s truth, I should first protect Coldflame Kingdom, so I kept this secret hidden in my heart.”

“Eventually, Little Lion was raised to become an outstanding Earth Magic Instructor of National Level in Coldflame Kingdom, following my instructions, and silently guarded this kingdom.”

Upon hearing Ester’s account, Leo Ray couldn’t help but express amazement.

Indeed, the legendary Shadow Market is extremely mysterious, not only able to casually encounter various hidden races, but even exchange for a [Divine Stone]—such divine creation. It’s definitely worth visiting someday.

Moreover, Ester’s illusion mentor is indeed profound beyond measure, able to easily nurture a Tier 5 Illusionist; their own strength seems to be even more unfathomable.

“I have to say, this world indeed contains many unimaginable things.”

As Leo Ray sighed inwardly, Saul, equally astonished, inquired: “Young Royal Highness Prince, what exactly do you and Ester refer to regarding this world’s truth?”

“The answer is actually simple; this truth must be closely linked with the Blank Age three thousand years ago.”

Leo Ray first exchanged a glance with Ester, then revealed the information and series of conjectures he had collected all along.

“So that’s how it is; gathering [Divine Stone] indeed leads to uncovering the truth of that enigmatic Blank Age, doesn’t it?”

After hearing Leo Ray’s account, Saul was astonished for quite a while before exclaiming, “I never expected the young Royal Highness Prince to have experienced so many unbelievable things and to know so much about the Blank Age—it truly proves that heroes emerge young.”

“Your Majesty, the King of Valor, you flatter me. I suppose you all know I’m not an original inhabitant of this world; as one of countless Otherworldly Lords descended into this world, I’m naturally curious about everything, especially the reason of my crossing.”

Leo Ray gently waved his hand, smiling faintly, said: “I believe the reason for billions of Otherworldly Lords’ arrival must be intricately connected with the Blank Age three thousand years ago.”

“In that case, we are indeed closer, since my Father King, His Majesty the Heroic King, was also an Otherworlder.”

At this point, Saul was surprised to find out.

Most Coldflame Monarchs present were puzzled, clearly unaware that King West, the Heroic King, was also an Otherworlder.

“Sorry, Ancestor Saul, the information stating His Majesty the Heroic King was an Otherworlder has been hidden from my generation onward.”

Seeing Eleventh Monarch Sage King Ebner lower his head and hesitated for a moment, he then chuckled awkwardly: “Back then, all Human countries emphasized on lineage, and my Coldflame Kingdom couldn’t fall behind. Hence, I concocted a story of His Majesty the Heroic King being a descendant of an Ancient Empire’s royal family.”

“You rebellious grandson! You even went as far as changing our Ancestor’s origin.”

Saul’s brow furrowed, but ultimately sighed softly in reluctance.

“Since everyone has opened up, I must apologize too.”

Seeing Twelfth Coldflame Monarch Sharp-Eyed King Archer’s face full of remorse, he spoke: “Sorry, Clan Leader Qiana, due to my blurry mind at the time and believing false rumors, I cruelly expelled the esteemed Moon Chaser Clan from Coldflame Kingdom.”

“Your Majesty Sharp-Eyed King needn’t apologize; that’s all in the past. The time spent wandering made Moon Chaser Clan even more resilient and stronger.”

After a brief silence, Qiana’s clear voice soon echoed through the mind talk: “Now, with the Royal Highness Prince and Her Majesty the Queen’s great favors mirroring those of His Majesty the Heroic King back then, we have decided to fight for Coldflame Kingdom once again, until the end of time.”

“You rebellious children and grandchildren! I didn’t realize Moon Chaser Clan was expelled from Coldflame Kingdom for so long!”

Saul, unable to sit still anymore, stood up and roared like a lion: “If it weren’t for Moon Chaser Clan’s strong support and sacrifice, there’s no way our Ancestor Heroic King could have surged forward and founded Coldflame Kingdom; how infuriating!”

Upon Saul’s reproach, Ebner and Archer’s expressions resembled those of George and Karen earlier, longing to find a hole to hide in, concealing their embarrassment in turn.

Despite the anger, Saul calmed down, and gently spoke to Qiana: “Lady Qiana, you are Moon Chaser Clan’s new Clan Leader, right? May I inquire about former Clan Leader Iris Winters’ whereabouts?”

“In reply to Your Majesty, the King of Valor, the old Clan Leader has been missing for over four hundred years, and no one knows her whereabouts.”

Qiana’s voice revealed undeniable sadness and worry: “If she’s still alive, I hope she’s well.”

“I see, Lady Iris was like a big sister watching me grow up.”

Saul’s gaze turned dreamy, and finally shifted back to Leo Ray, saying: “Apologies, Royal Highness Prince, these disappointing rebellious children and grandchildren have surely entertained you.”

“Your Majesty, the King of Valor, you speak too strongly; to err is human. It’s precisely because of Your Majesty the King of Valor and other kings’ dedicated efforts that Coldflame Kingdom continues to thrive.”

Leo Ray waved and smiled: “Oh, right, I once had an accidental encounter in Dragon’s Lair’s Ancestor’s resting place where I saw your Ancestor Heroic King…”

Afterward, Leo Ray recounted the meeting with King West.

“So, Father King indeed silently shields this land?”

Upon hearing this, Saul’s face was filled with gratification, nodding heavily.

“Indeed, as long as we find rare Sacred Essence Stone, we can meet him once more.”

Leo Ray nodded slightly and added: “By the way, I have an extremely important matter.”
