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

Chapter 2098: Chapter 1174: Entering the Ancient Castle of Darkness

“What is this?!”

Staring at the ancient, upside-down black castle on the ceiling of the cave, even could not help but widen his eyes, his face full of surprise.

This castle was unbelievably massive, even in her dragon form, she could spread her wings and soar within it, a testament to its scale.

“I must admit, it’s indeed a bizarre and shocking sight.”

Catherine raised her fair face, her starry eyes fixated on the enormous structure on the cave ceiling, and said, “Your Royal Highness Prince, we have already checked, and there are no traces of illusion techniques; this black castle truly exists.”

After Catherine finished speaking, Little Illusion fluttered her transparent wings and landed again on Leo Ray’s shoulder, nodding in agreement, “That’s right, Lord, this big guy is genuine.”

“But how could such a majestic giant castle be constructed upside down on the cave ceiling?”

White, who had just arrived, was filled with shock, blurting out spontaneously.

“Could it be a strategic misdirection by our adversaries, or some kind of conspiracy?”

Louise’s small face was full of perplexity and confusion, her eyebrows slightly knitted.

“Judging from the architectural style, this upside-down Ancient Castle of Darkness is entirely consistent with the ancient structures in the ruins we’ve seen before. It should be part of the ancient human kingdom.”

Leo Ray rested his chin on one hand, his scrutinizing gaze wandering up and down the towering cave ceiling, pondering aloud: “And look, it’s not just a solitary ancient castle, but there are a series of supporting facilities.”

Due to the overwhelming presence of the giant castle, it was only after Leo Ray’s reminder that everyone noticed it.

Apart from the massive main structure of the castle, there were various stylized courtyards, fountains, sculptures, and even broad and flat roads as other supporting facilities around.

Although the flower beds and lawns in the courtyards were barren and the fountains had long dried up, it was evident to the discerning eye that the layout was extremely appropriate, and the artistic standard was very high, even able to compete with the Elf Tribe and the Winged Race.

Looking up, despite the ubiquitous dust, it still exuded an aura of unparalleled majesty.

“The Royal Castle of Grimm Kingdom compared to this is practically a crude toy.”

White’s mouth opened, the whiskers around it trembling as he blurted out, “Could this be the royal castle of the Ancient Kingdom?”

“It’s very possible. We’ve passed the street area, residential area, square area, and should indeed be reaching the royal residence.”

Leo Ray gently stroked his chin, replying, “Although many long years have passed, it’s not hard to see that this was once a thriving human realm.”

“Your Royal Highness Prince, how could such a magnificent giant castle and its surrounding facilities be built upside down on the cave ceiling?”

White hesitated for a moment and couldn’t help but pose the question again.

“General White, have you heard of ’Dislocated Objects’?”

Leo Ray slowly withdrew his gaze, turning towards the elderly general at his side.

“Your Royal Highness Prince, are you referring to those ancient ruins that inexplicably appear elsewhere?”

White was momentarily stunned, then immediately responded, “Could this also be a ’Dislocated Object’?”

“This is the only explanation.”

Leo Ray nodded slightly, replying, “Looking at the layout of the entire Underground City, the other parts are not ’Dislocated Objects’. It’s likely only this giant castle that has experienced ’dislocation’, and perhaps it has only ’dislocated’ from the ground to the cave ceiling.”

“Makes sense.”

Louise nodded thoughtfully, saying, “This is my first time seeing such a close-up ’dislocated object’ myself.”

After speaking, a hint of curiosity appeared on Louise’s small face, asking in confusion, “By the way, how are these ’Dislocated Objects’ formed?”

“That is another unresolved mystery of the Era of Blankness, and at least for now, we cannot glimpse the truth.”

Leo Ray refocused, speaking, “Alright, this place was once an area controlled by the adversary, likely holding little value in exploration. Our current urgent task is still to find the whereabouts of the 30 Summoning Corps and the exit from the Underground City. Let’s get started.”

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement and immediately dispersed to begin their respective actions.

However, as time ticked by, even though Leo Ray and the others meticulously searched the vast area, using Appearance Scrolls, they still failed to find any new passages or traces of an exit.

Without finding any results from their search, they could only gather back around Leo Ray, filled with helplessness.

“Lord, I’m afraid that, like the initial arena area, this too is the end of the Underground City.”

Without placing a hand over his chest in a gesture of respect, he reported to Leo Ray, “In other words, we’ve arrived at a dead end.”

Hearing his words, everyone shook their heads in resignation.

This clearly indicated that we were trapped in this deep underground city.

In that instant, an exceedingly heavy atmosphere quietly spread among the group.

It must be noted, the mysterious being has already officially commenced their so-called ’Divine Plan’.

This undoubtedly illustrates that the time left for us to stop the adversary has become exceedingly limited.

In such an incredibly urgent situation, if we are continually trapped here, the outcome would be beyond imagination.
