Capítulo 2886: Chapter 1580: The Depths of the Corridor
In the opulent and grand banquet hall, Leo Ray looked towards the sound and saw a middle-aged deerman dressed in luxurious clothes come into view.
The counterpart also had a radiant complexion, dressed meticulously, with a smile on his grease-stained face, and a pair of grand antlers on top of his head that were exceptionally eye-catching.
Judging from the aura, this middle-aged deerman was also at the half-step Tier 7, his strength clearly surpassing the other deermen around.
“Your Majesty, this is Terry, the current Clan Leader of the Moon Shadow Deer People.”
Lila leaned close to Leo Ray’s ear and introduced, “Back then, after the former Clan Leader of the Deer People died in a fierce battle with the Broken Wing King, it was this person who took up the mantle and became the new Clan Leader.”
Upon hearing this, Leo Ray nodded slightly.
Regarding this current Clan Leader of the Deer People, through the information provided by Lila and Hollis, Leo Ray had already learned that after he donned the supreme crown of the Deer People, the situation of the Deer People had been declining.
This was not only because of the plundering and oppression by the Broken Wing King, but also due to his weak and submissive nature, which made the Broken Wing King become even more rampant.
Compared to the strong-willed former Clan Leader, under his weak leadership, the leading position of the Deer People among the surrounding second-tier powers has also been gradually weakening, but after all, a camel in its skin-and-bones still outweighs a horse, it still holds certain influence.
“That being said, judging from the currently flourishing state of the Deer People’s Royal Capital, this guy doesn’t seem to be as incompetent as rumored.”
After quietly observing the counterpart for a while, Leo Ray’s attention involuntarily fell back onto the scene of the banquet.
The sound of the deermen around chewing and sipping wildly echoed one after another, like a chaotic dance that resonated back and forth, even at a small tavern in the streets, among those rough mercenaries, Leo Ray had never seen such a scene.
“Of course, if it weren’t for these abnormal conditions, this guy indeed doesn’t appear as incompetent as the rumors say, but the reality here reeks of discord everywhere else.”
As he contemplated this, Leo Ray and Lila, among others, had already walked up to the counterpart.
Although the bewilderment in their hearts grew stronger, the group naturally wouldn’t easily show it on their faces.
“Lord Clan Leader of the Deer People, I hope you’ve been well.”
Lila smiled politely toward the counterpart, saying courteously, “The prosperity along the way really is unforgettable, under Lord Clan Leader’s guidance, the Deer People have indeed become better than before.”
“Hehe, Lord Clan Leader of the Stone Giant is too kind. My Moon Shadow Deer People have always stood among the peak of the second-tier powers, this is merely a common scene. What is there to boast about?”
Terry waved his hand, although appearing quite humble, the corners of his mouth involuntarily lifted slightly, showing an extremely pleased expression.
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Lila quickly got to the point, slightly stepping back to introduce Leo Ray to Terry, “Lord Clan Leader of the Deer People, this is His Majesty of the Humans, and indeed it is His Majesty who led us here to your esteemed place.”
“His Majesty of the Humans? The very one who drove away the dragon group of Mist Dream Peak?”
Terry examined Leo Ray with surprise and remarked, “I didn’t expect His Majesty of the Humans to come to the domain of the Moon Shadow Deer People, it truly is unexpected.”
As he spoke, Terry promptly regained his former hospitality, nodding to Leo Ray and saying, “In any case, His Majesty of the Humans arrives at just the right moment, please indulge in the delicacies of the Moon Shadow Deer People, bask in the splendor and prosperity of the Moon Shadow Deer People!”
With that, this clan leader of the deermen first took a mighty swig, then burped contentedly and burst out laughing.
“To be frank, Lord Clan Leader, we have pressing matters to discuss, might we find a quieter place?”
At Leo Ray’s signal, Lila quickly steered the conversation back to the main point.
Everyone on our side understood clearly that the situation here was overly chaotic, even somewhat eerie, only in a quiet setting would there be an opportunity to unravel the puzzle and gradually understand our doubts through them.
“Hehe, the banquet has just started, why rush things?”
Terry’s response mirrored that of the Grand Elder earlier, he accepted the crystal glass newly filled by the servant beside him and said with a smile, “Please ensure to taste the delicacies of the Moon Shadow Deer People!”
“We appreciate Lord Clan Leader of the Deer People’s kindness, though we’ve already had lunch.”
Mindful of time constraints, Lila maintained a polite smile and declined courteously.
“What’s this? Lord Clan Leader of the Stone Giant isn’t giving my Moon Shadow Deer People face? Are you unsatisfied with our hospitality?”
Terry’s face instantly fell somewhat, and there was a vague hint of displeasure in his voice.
After Terry spoke, even the other deermen enthusiastically feasting around cast puzzled looks toward us, evidently wondering why we showed no interest in such delicacies.
For a moment, our group became the focal point of the hall, appearing extremely out of place.
“We appreciate Lord Clan Leader of the Deer People’s kind offer, we’ve long been salivating.”
Just as Lila seemed unsure of what to do, Leo Ray picked up the dialogue and nodded slightly toward Terry.
“Hehe, then please help yourselves, I have other guests to attend to.”
With that, Terry wobbled away with the crystal glass and soon began laughing and chatting with several other deermen nobles.
