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

Capítulo 2316: Chapter 1286: A Surprising Sight

The entrance to this underground tunnel is quite peculiar. It seems to be only about 2.5 meters high, but it’s over 50 meters wide, and overall, it’s shaped like a flattened rectangle, much like an enlarged mailbox slot.

Regarding this strange design, Leo Ray immediately saw the purpose behind it. It was clearly arranged this way to prevent dragons from forcibly entering.

At the entrance of the tunnel, rows of alchemical golem guards stand in formation, each one tall and imposing, exuding a mighty aura.

These alchemical golems are clad in black heavy armor and appear to have a stone-like structure, with a form that resembles the Earth Guardians and the alchemy puppet legion soldiers that Leo Ray had acquired.

It’s no wonder, after all, whether it’s the Guardian Defense Mechanism or the alchemy puppet legion soldiers, both were crafted by the ancient dwarf elves, so it’s not surprising that they share a lineage.

Apart from this, the entrance to the passage also glimmers with rich magic flow light, evidently protected by an absolute defense barrier.

“Is the guard at the door itself a middle team-sized Tier 5 alchemy puppet? This easily surpasses all the high-tier alchemical golems made by human alchemists over the past three thousand years!”

Yonir’s old eyes showed a trace of surprise as he pondered, “And judging by the craftsmanship, it clearly surpasses even the strongest alchemical golems of humans. The forces of the Outer Region are indeed extraordinary!”

“Old friend, it’s not just that.”

The Grey Elder squinted slightly, looking deeper into the entrance of the passage.

Heavy footsteps were faintly heard approaching, as a squad of soldiers were striding toward the entrance, accompanied by an awe-inspiring, overwhelming aura.

As the footsteps grew clearer, Leo Ray noticed.

Leading the group in the front was a small figure clad in magic robes, whose silhouette matched precisely with Konet, who had just guided us here.

“Unlike the shadow illusion from earlier, it seems this is the true form of that dwarf elf patrol officer.”

With this thought, Leo Ray looked towards the guiding small shadow illusion at the front of the group.

Sure enough, the shadow illusion had disappeared, leaving only three shadow dragons standing firm around our group.

As the other side drew closer, Leo Ray noticed further.

The leading dwarf elf was a middle-aged man, with a resolute face carrying a faint smile, bearing some resemblance to Vid between his brows.

It’s no wonder, as for Leo Ray, the Emperor of the Humans, the dwarf elves indeed appeared quite similar.

“Your Majesty of the humans, we meet again.”

Unlike the hoarse voice of the earlier illusion, Konet’s real voice was much crisper, though the tone and intonation remained unchanged.

“Thank you, Officer, for guiding us.”

Leo Ray maintained a smile and nodded slightly.

“Your Majesty of the humans, I have already communicated with my king. Although those humans from the previous visit were extremely rude, the Dwarf Elf Kingdom still welcomes the arrival of Your Majesty’s party.”

After Konet’s words, the two teams of figures standing behind him quickly formed into a welcoming formation on either side.

Focusing, Leo Ray discovered that these figures were quite unique, all paired as one tall and one short.

Needless to say, the shorter ones were naturally dwarf elf soldiers, while their towering counterparts were alchemical golems, resembling soldiers leading giant war dogs.

As for their strength, Konet himself was Tier 5 level, those dwarf elf soldiers were Tier 4, while their equipment was all Tier 5.

The accompanying alchemical golems, with their formidable aura, resembled towering mountains, evidently all reaching Tier 6, amounting to a small team size, the source of the overwhelming aura from before.

“Indeed, as the forces of the Outer Region, even just this is enough to send tremors through the human world.”

Witnessing this incongruent scene, Leo Ray marveled inwardly, yet his expression remained unperturbed.

As is well known, dwarf elves possess relatively limited cultivation talents, lacking both the elves’ magical affinity and the dwarves’ robust physique. Due to their unique physique, even refining magic medicine often fails to achieve the desired effect, falling short of the potential of the human race.

Yet, the dwarf elves’ long lifespan and agile minds, comparable to half-elves, allowed them to carve a niche for themselves in the Outer Region.

To make up for their shortcomings and better ensure the continuity of their civilization, dwarf elves developed a completely different path from most races, focusing less on self-cultivation and more on enhancing their strength through powerful technology, like their unique tech combining steam engines with magic, and their profound research into alchemical golems.

“Precisely because of their limited inherent strength, dwarf elves developed this unique tech tree. The appearance of such a peculiar guard combination is not surprising, after all, each person controlling just one alchemical golem maximizes the power they can wield.”

After sorting everything out in his mind, Leo Ray continued to observe discreetly.

However, compared to John and the other command-centric alchemical golems with their added command modules allowing a degree of intelligence, these alchemical golems were stronger but not as smart.

Thus, it’s not difficult to see that following the Era of Blankness, the dwarf elves’ technological level also saw a decline, making current dwarf elves far inferior to their ancient ancestors.

“Nevertheless, if, through the efforts of folks under the Lord, the current dwarf elves’ technology can be fully integrated into the human world, combined with such outstanding alchemy puppet techniques, the human world’s strength will surely advance by leaps and bounds.”
