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

Chapter 819: Chapter 530: Nine Dragon-slaying Heroes_2

With agile movements and an elegant posture.”

“The third hero is the Holy-Warrior Sivily, the guardian of his companions.

With unwavering faith and self-sacrificing spirit.”

“The fourth hero is the assassination master Anronks, who dances with double blades.

With secretive trace and ultimate explosion.”

“The fifth hero is the Berserker Hugo, who carries the bloodline of the Titan Clan.

With unmatched strength and endless courage.”

“The sixth hero is the saint Idyar under the holy light.

With miraculous healing powers and the ability to exorcise demons.”

“The seventh hero is the Dark Healer Victor, lurking in the darkness while his heart aspires to the light.

With forbidden dark powers and the ability to strategize in the shadows.”

“The eighth hero is the summoner Fleming, who commands an army of one.

With puppet legions and transcendent control abilities.”

“The ninth hero is the alchemy master Yonir, with miraculous hands.

With powerful magic medicine and the ability to create miracles.”

“Nine brave and fearless heroes.

Finally, they beheaded the huge Tier 6 Purple-winged Demon Dragon.”

Listening to this ode, Leo Ray slightly raised an eyebrow.

It is said that more than five hundred years ago, a Tier 6 Purple-winged Demon Dragon that had been expelled from its group, attacked various human countries for no reason, causing great casualties.

Eventually, nine Tier 5 powerhouses were selected from organizations such as human countries, Temple of Light, Mercenary Guild, Alchemist Guild, etc. Armed with the strongest weapons, armors, and various high-level magic scrolls, they overcame countless hardships and successfully killed the enemy.

Among them, the national powerhouse sent by the Coldflame Kingdom was the Half-elf Archer Qiana.

It is said that she was the descendant of the second-ranked Half-elf Archer Corps under the command of the Hero King back then.

At that time, this unit of Half-elves was also the only non-human aristocratic family in Coldflame that was second to none.

However, due to the later Coldflame monarchs’ fear of the flourishing Half-elf tribe threatening their ruling position, they deliberately suppressed them, eventually driving them out of the Coldflame territory to an unknown fate.

Of course, since there are many branches of the Half-elf tribe, the expelled Half-elves had no affiliation with the Moonwhite Tribe subordinated to Leo Ray.

“For humans, five hundred years is already a great change to the world. There are very few detailed records about these heroes, so it’s just like a legend to listen to.”

Gazing at the middle-aged wandering poet on the stage, playing the lute and singing emotionally, Leo Ray nodded slightly.

Then he thought to himself, “However, if I were fortunate enough to find a place where these heroes used to rest back in the day or some related treasures, it would be a considerable gain for me.”

With that thought, Leo Ray sipped his wine and focused his attention back to reality.

At this time, due to the middle-aged Wandering Poets’ eloquence and the strong melody of the Heroic Ode, the mood of the people around was stirred, and they all showed excited expressions… of course, except for Red Night with a slightly frowning eyebrow.

Seeing this, Leo Ray smiled slightly and turned his gaze back to the elder mercenaries in front of him.

After further discussions with them, Leo Ray confirmed that after the banquet, his party would go to the Mercenary Guild in Viennas City to sign employment contracts with the Dragon Tooth Mercenary Corps’ experts.

Of course, all Leo Ray needed to do was deposit the corresponding gold dragons and magic scrolls in the heavily guarded vault of the guild, nothing more.

As for the specific contract drafting, according to the plan, it’s left to Kelsey’s father, and Leo Ray’s newly added Tier 4 Expert Gail, to handle.

According to Kelsey, her father had spent a few years as a freelance mercenary in various Coldflame cities when he was young, so naturally, there was no problem.

After the contract was signed, Burt and Joshua, accompanied by ten experts including three Great Mages, headed directly to the Mountain Fortress first.

Meanwhile, the remaining two Tier 2 elite mercenary squads also traveled at the fastest speed towards the fortress throughout the night.

Thus, wrapping up the private banquet perfectly.

Leo Ray and his crew, after reapplying their illusion disguises, arrived at the entrance of Viennas City’s Mercenary Guild under the dual moon and shimmering magic neon lights of the street, accompanied by the Dragon Tooth Mercenary Corps and other experts.

It was a large, ancient-looking building not far away from Sanders’ Trading Conference and located at the other end of the bustling street.

Looking up, a sigil depicting a shield with a longsword crossed over a magical wand, glowing with magical paint, could be seen in the most conspicuous spot of the ancient building. That was the emblem of the Mercenary Guild.

Thanks to Kelsey contacting the guild beforehand, the usually off-duty Mercenary Guild was brightly lit and well-prepared for their arrival.

Seeing this, Leo Ray nodded slightly and entered the ancient building accompanied by his subordinates.

It’s worth mentioning that the Mercenary Guild, like the Temple of Light, is a neutral organization distributed across various human nations. Apart from its own security forces, it is also protected by the nation and city.”

The difference is that, in comparison to the semi-closed and harder-to-join Temple of Light, the Mercenary Guild is a completely open organization. As long as the basic conditions are met, one can join up as a mercenary.

Moreover, the neutral organizations including the Mercenary Guild, Alchemist Guild, and Temple of Light, must receive a clear explanation from their host nation if they suffer an unknown attack.

Otherwise, these organizations have the right to withdraw from that nation.

And losing the robust mercenary system, alchemist system, and training ground for Holy Light Priests would doubtlessly be an unbearable loss for any human nation.

Therefore, whether in wartime or peacetime, these neutral organizations are rarely attacked or raided.

After all, anyone who dares to do so would be making an enemy out of a nation’s machinery, which is a risk even the most desperate of outlaws rarely takes.

After storing the 1.8 million Gold Dragon coins and the three magic scrolls in the Guild’s treasury, Leo Ray clapped his hands and left the guild with the rest of his crew, leaving behind Gael, Burt, and Joshua.

At this time, Viennas City’s streets were still bustling under the moonlit night.

The cool night air mixed with the sizzling aroma of roasted meat, continuously filling Leo Ray’s nostrils.

His surroundings were filled with laughter and chatter of all kinds, forming an extremely harmonious atmosphere.

“By the way, Kelsey, how’s Old Nick doing?”

Watching the scene, Leo Ray stepped down from the steps of the Mercenary Guild’s entrance, softly asking the Viennas City’s little chili pepper.”

From what they knew so far, the mad old wandering poet who only uttered the words ‘Great Calamity’ was the only clue Leo Ray had about the Great Disaster at the moment.

“My lord, Old Nick’s situation has improved a lot compared to before, but he’s still somewhat restless,” Kelsey bowed slightly and replied, “However, in my opinion, his increasing appetite is a positive sign.”

“Very good. Let me know of any new developments promptly.”

With a satisfied nod, Leo Ray looked at the lively street in front of him and said, “Alright, we’ve taken care of everything here. Let’s head back to the Mountain Fortress now, I still have some matters to attend to.”

What Leo Ray was referring to was the deployment of his magic cannons.

Since the negotiation had been successful, it was time to recall these deterrent forces.

Also, Sean and the Pterosaur Knight team were resting near the Mountain Fortress and could return to the territory together with Leo Ray.

“Wait, my lord, I have one more request…”

As soon as Leo Ray finished speaking, Ariel Watson’s hesitant crisp voice rang in his ear again.

“Oh? Just say it.”

With a puzzled look, Leo Ray turned to look at the Coldflame Fifth Princess beside him and spoke up.
