Chapter 2519 1391: The Lord's Contemplation
“What Lord Leo Ray said was indeed true, it’s truly a breathtaking sight!”
As the gates of Ice Stone City reopened, Xiao Jing’s fair face was instantly filled with wonder.
What appeared before her was a vast city built by the sea.
The design style of this city is quite unique; aside from the side facing the sea, the other three sides are dug with massive trenches, which eventually connect completely with the sea, forming an extremely vast moat.
With the tides surging, the whole city appears like a giant fortress on the sea surface, quite awe-inspiring.
It was near dusk, and the two suns were slowly descending toward the end of the distant horizon, casting shimmering lights on the sea, bathing everything in a tinge of orange, adding a touch of delicacy to this giant city surrounded by the sea.
“Is this the ocean? It’s truly vast and boundless, awe-inspiring!”
Gazing at the intertwining scene of sunset and sea surface, Xiao Jing’s starry eyes were full of wonder, and she said excitedly: “Lord Leo Ray, they say this vast land is also surrounded by the sea, is that true?”
“That’s right, but we are not the only ones; at the distant end, there are countless landmasses similar to ours.”
Leo Ray patted Xiao Jing’s head and responded with a smile.
After speaking, a solemn expression emerged on Leo Ray’s face.
What he just said obviously defied common sense.
After all, no matter how large this planet is, it shouldn’t have so many landmasses, since the land we currently inhabit could probably match the land area of the previous world.
Moreover, he’s seen this dual-star system twice before.
Even though the entire planet is shrouded in a fog-like unknown layer, preventing him from seeing the scenes above, there should be boundaries nonetheless.
However, whether from the literature of the Human Clan, Dwarf Elf, Flower Fairy, Treants, Dragonborn, or even the Dragon Clan and Dark Elf, records about other landmasses are quite similar.
In these fragmented records, words like “countless”, “immeasurable”, and “innumerable”, or even “infinite” are invariably used, which is quite baffling.
“It’s not hard to see that this point itself is a huge unresolved mystery, whether it relates to the Era of Blankness is currently unknown.”
Pondering this in his heart, Leo Ray regathered his thoughts, refocusing on the scene before him.
As the gates of Ice Stone City opened, the Minotaurs’ grand welcoming team also came into view.
Soldiers from the Minotaur honor guard, dressed in silver armor and holding knight swords, extended all the way from the Ice Stone City Gate to the capital’s gate, lined with welcoming common Minotaurs behind them, densely packed, a sight fitting to be called a mountain of people.
It’s clear that the Minotaurs were better prepared, with towering semi-transparent magical protective barriers erected along the boundary of the soldiers on either side, intermittently flashing with rich magic flow light.
Moreover, on the majestic city wall behind them, Leo Ray’s exclusive Shadow Lord Flags hung, fluttering in the wind.
“Your Majesty of the Humans, this is the Minotaurs’ highest ceremony to welcome a king, more extravagant than the usual ceremony for kings.”
Fanny, the Flower Fairy Queen, said with a trace of wonder in her starry eyes to Leo Ray: “These magical protective barriers on both sides not only serve as a defense but also symbolize the supreme authority of royalty.”
No sooner had Fanny finished speaking than the noble welcoming delegation, led by the middle-aged Minotaur general, came forward.
“Greetings, Your Majesty of the Humans, may Your Majesty be at peace!”
The middle-aged Minotaur general fell to the ground, shielding the horns on his head with his hands, bowing to Leo Ray, and the tens of thousands of other Minotaurs present also performed the same action, all bowing their heads to Leo Ray.
It’s known that Minotaurs are tall and muscular, on par with Taylor, more robust than trolls, and even when kneeling, they’re taller than Fanny and even Broy, illustrating that the scene of tens of thousands of Minotaurs bowing in allegiance is quite spectacular.
Leo Ray looked down at this scene, nodding slightly: “You may all rise, the past is gone with the wind, from this moment, we shall walk side by side, welcoming a brand-new future together.”
Hearing this, the scene burst into a fervor, it’s needless to say how boiling it was, Leo Ray’s words, though brief, contained an extremely important message, which was that Leo Ray did not intend to punish them but instead regarded them as his own!
For those who had gotten used to the previous Minotaur King’s various fierce methods, this was undoubtedly unimaginable! The openness and benevolence of Your Majesty of the Humans left them overwhelmed with unexpected favor.
“But there’s one thing for everyone to remember, I will not allow any force to obstruct my path forward; your previous king did so, and now he is no more.”
Leo Ray’s gaze turned a bit sharper, then softened again, smiling at the just-standing middle-aged Minotaur general: “Let’s go.”
“As you command, Your Majesty of the Humans!”
Upon hearing the words, the middle-aged Minotaur immediately placed a hand over his chest in salute, beginning to lead the way forward.
Seeing the other with an expression of anxious respect, Leo Ray slightly raised an eyebrow.
