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

Chapter 825: Chapter 533: Asher Porter’s Loyalty _2

The next second, accompanied by the sound of unlocking “click”, the flowing light dissipated on the metal door, and it slowly opened automatically.

“Gideon Black, it’s up to you now.”

Nodding at the already-primed muscular priest, Leo Ray spoke.

“Understood, Lord.”

As he bowed slightly, Gideon’s taut chest muscles unconsciously trembled, and the silver skull necklace on his chest gleamed with a dazzling light under the faint magic sphere’s illumination.

Seeing Gideon enter the cell and gently close the door, Lord Asher was somewhat puzzled, but he still focused his attention on Leo Ray and Ariel Watson.

Then he asked, “Princess, Mr. Christopher, why are you two acting together?”

At this point, the bewildered expression on Lord Asher’s face showed that he had not received the latest news from the border battlefield.

It’s no wonder, after all, he had been exploring the Titan Underground Temple on the outskirts of the old Karvin Archaeological City all day and had just returned to the City Lord Mansion before coming directly to this underground prison.

“Lord, don’t worry. Let’s talk about something else first.”

With a slight smile, Leo Ray started to describe the situation on the border battlefield to the other party briefly.

“Mr. Christopher and Princess are truly extraordinary! With only 30,000 demoralized soldiers, they repelled eight highly spirited legions of the Saint Night Army. I’m truly impressed!”

After listening to Leo Ray’s description, Lord Asher was first stunned, and his slightly vicissitude-hardened face showed a mixture of shock and delight.

As the saying goes, “when the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold”. Lord Asher was naturally clear about this.

Once the Mountain Fortress is breached, it would lead to irreparable consequences.

However, because Viennas City is relatively far from the border area.

Moreover, there were various cities, led by Pinehaven City, mainly loyal to the Great Prince behind the border line.

Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Lord Asher, like other cities, found reasons to ignore Coldflame Royal Family’s extensive conscription orders and did not send troops to the front lines.

After all, even if he sent all his carefully trained 8,000-strong Defense Army of Viennas City to the battlefield, it might not be enough to stop the fierce Saint Night Army.

Not to mention, the deployment of heavy guards to always be on guard against the hateful mysterious organization.

In short, when Lord Asher learned that the crisis on the border battlefield was temporarily resolved, he could finally take a deep breath.

At the same time, looking at the calm-faced Leo Ray in front of him, Lord Asher’s heart was also stirred by tremendous waves.

In just less than a day, he had annihilated more than half of the invading Saint Night Army and completely sent them back to their hometown…

Behind the gentle smile of this young man, who is clearly using an alias, lies undoubtedly a bloodthirsty, thunderous method.

“To be honest with Lord, the reason I took action at the auction that day is because of the irreconcilable life-and-death conflict between me and the mysterious organization.”

With a slight smile, Leo Ray spoke again.

Without saying much, as far as Leo Ray’s current information is concerned.

The mysterious organization members wearing white metal Gothic masks have slaughtered many Otherworldly Lords for no reason, and their methods are extremely vicious.

They have even gone far beyond some local indigenous forces that consider the Otherworldly Lords as mortal enemies.

If those indigenous forces were about protecting their dominant positions from threats, the lawless mysterious organization members are simply doing it for amusement and pleasure.

After all, when compared to the civilians under the protection of various city lords, people like Leo Ray, an otherworldly lord who had suddenly arrived, were like wild weeds sprouting by the roadside.

No one would be held accountable for killing one or two members of the mysterious organization.

More importantly, Leo Ray, who had coincidentally encountered the mysterious organization several times, understood clearly.

These guys, who would resort to any means to achieve their goals, were obviously brewing some unspeakable secrets.Therefore, in any case, for Leo Ray, who is also an Otherworldly Lord.

What he can do is to weaken this mysterious organization, which is mainly composed of wanted criminals, corrupt nobles, and lawless people, and investigate its true details and secret plans as much as possible.

Undoubtedly, instead of waiting for the other party to realize their threat and knocking on the door, Leo Ray prefers to strike first.

“Oh? Is this true?!”

Hearing this, Asher’s eyes lit up, and he seemed to have found a confidant, getting closer to Leo Ray.

“Yes, as for the detailed information, let’s talk about it later.”

With a slight smile, Leo Ray changed the subject and began to talk about the things he had seen on the border battlefield today.

During their conversation, with the cooperation of Asher, Gideon Black, whose mouth was filled with a bright smile, soon carefully “took care” of the three envoys of the princes who were imprisoned in separate cells.

“Lord, your subordinate has completed all the tasks.”

Gideon Black, who had some unfinished business, made a graceful bow towards Leo Ray, gently pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and reported back.

“Go on.”

Leo Ray nodded slightly, and responded after seeing Asher close the prison door again.

“Lord, as Lord Asher said, these people are indeed the envoys sent by the three princes to win over Lord Asher to their respective camps.”

With his body still bowed, Gideon Black, continued, “As a result, they were indeed politely refused by Lord Asher, and finally, on the way back, they were stunned by a mysterious powerhouse and brought back here.”

Then, Gideon Black told some specific details, leaving Asher astonished.

This was the first time Asher had seen such a mysterious interrogator!

“…Unfortunately, these envoys sent are all lower-level personnel in the three princes’ camps, rarely seeing the princes themselves; therefore, they don’t possess useful intelligence besides their mission.”

Gideon Black helplessly shook his head and added, “As for the envoys in the cells, I didn’t let them completely lose their minds, but at least they have to be unconscious for three to five days in case Lord might need them later.”

“Very good, although we haven’t found any useful clues, at least it confirms that Lord Asher’s words are true.”

Smiling at the astonished Asher in front of him, Leo Ray raised his eyebrows.

Now that this has been confirmed, it means that he is only one step away from successfully winning over Asher!

“Of course, no matter what, I would never lie in front of Princess and Mr. Christopher.”

Due to Leo Ray’s earlier mention of the mysterious organization, Asher’s attitude towards him was considerably more enthusiastic, nodding repeatedly.

Pausing for a moment, Asher seemed to have made up his mind, and came to Ariel Watson’s side, kneeling on one knee and said, “If the Princess does not mind, I and my fief, Viennas City, are willing to become the Princess’s sword, and help her through all the hardships!”

“You should not say this to me, but to that Lord over there.”

Raising her eyebrows slightly, Ariel Watson, who saw that the timing was ripe, quickly shifted her gaze of reverence to Leo Ray not far away.

“That… Lord?”

Following Ariel’s gaze, when Asher saw Leo Ray’s indifferent face, a storm raged in his heart.

This unassuming young man, who could be called Lord by the proud Fifth Princess of a country, who could he possibly be?!

“Ariel, tell this bewildered City Lord everything.”

With a faint smile, Leo Ray ordered.

“It turns out…The true identity of you, my Lord, is an Otherworldly Lord. It seems that the world is going to experience a great change.”

With a thoughtful nod, Asher, with white hair at his temples and a determined face, took a deep breath, and then knelt in front of Leo Ray.

He then declared unwaveringly, “I, Asher Porter, pledge my loyalty to you, my Lord!”
