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

Chapter 1587: Chapter 916: Sudden Change in Lionheart City (Lower)_2 Chapter 1587: Chapter 916: Sudden Change in Lionheart City (Lower)_2 “I truly can’t thank Your Excellency enough! Without your help, we would have undoubtedly been imprisoned by those people already.”

The elderly man in the blue robe heaved a heavy sigh and clenched his fist, “I didn’t expect them to actually make a move against us directly!”

“There’s no need to thank me, I’m just a mercenary, taking people’s money to solve their troubles.”

There was no fluctuation in the tall and thin figure’s voice and he calmly said, “As agreed, the fee is 50,000 gold dragons a day. Just pay on time and as long as I am here, no one will be able to threaten your safety.”

Pausing for a moment, the tall figure added, “According to the contents of the contract, I am only responsible for ensuring your safety and will not get involved in your family disputes. Please don’t forget that, otherwise, I will leave immediately.”

With that, the tall figure stood aside, not speaking any further.

It was known that the strength of this thin, tall illusionist was at Tier 4 Seven Stars, which was extremely rare in the mercenary world and even among the various human countries.

With the trump card of enhanced illusions, he was capable of fighting against several Tier 4 Peak powerhouses without falling behind, so he truly possessed the qualifications for arrogance.

“I understand, Your Excellency has already been a great help.”

The elder in the blue robe nodded to the tall figure, his white eyebrows tightly furrowed.

Although they had temporarily secured their safety, the blue-robed elder still had no confidence in how to deal with the elders who supported Harrison.

“Big brother, what should we do next?”

The gray-robed elder stepped forward and gravely said to the blue-robed elder, “It is clear now that they are determined to get rid of us.”

“We can only try to find the two neutral old fellows first, otherwise, our combined strength will not be able to shake the entire family.”

The blue-robed elder’s old face was full of worry as he sighed heavily again.

Apart from that, what concerned the elder most was his granddaughter Leslie Reynolds.

After all, the families of the other three elders were in this castle, while Leslie was still out there, and the consequences were easy to imagine.

“Big brother, Leslie is the best of the younger generation in our family, so she should be careful not to take unnecessary risks.”

Seeing the concern in the blue-robed elder’s heart, the gray-robed elder hurriedly tried to console him, “Perhaps she has already found a safe place to hide.”

“Sigh, I hope so.”

The blue-robed elder was all too familiar with his granddaughter’s temperament. Since they themselves had almost fallen victim to the scheme, the situation for the wilful and unruly Leslie would surely be even more precarious.

Despite being worried to the core, the blue-robed elder clearly understood.

Only by stabilizing the situation could he possibly save his granddaughter and the others. So, he gritted his teeth and forced himself to refocus on finding the next strategy.

The blue-robed elder thought for a moment and continued, “At the same time, we need to recruit more help so we won’t be intercepted halfway. We need to find a way to make everything public.”

“Big brother, since the other side has chosen to attack us openly, they must have made ample preparations in advance, including finding the appropriate reasons and cutting off all our escape routes.”

The gray-robed elder shook his head helplessly, his old face full of resignation, “Under these circumstances, where should we look for help?”

“You’re right, the mercenary guild must have been monitored by those people already, and the city surroundings were likely set with traps. Moreover, the powerhouses under our command have all been taken away by that Harrison under various pretexts.”

The third green-robed elder clenched his fist before releasing it in despair, “This city is full of their spies, it’ll be difficult for us four to even take a step. After all, the other members of our clan are afraid of their power and won’t lend a hand.”

“Besides, what if those two neutral old fellows have already been bought off by the other side? Wouldn’t we just be walking into a trap?”

The last red-robed elder furrowed his eyebrows, staring with copper-bell-like eyes, “Moreover, even if everything goes smoothly and we manage to escape this time and make everything public, what difference would it make? would Harrison not get away with it in the end?”

“Bear in mind, he is now a favored person beside the Fourth Prince, and Lionheart City is right at the edge of the Fourth Prince’s sphere of influence. How can we compete with him?”

At this point, the red-robed elder shook his head helplessly, twirling his white mustache into a knot, “Even if they fail to kill us this time, can the next plan to kill us be far off? Ultimately, we can only run for a while, not forever.”

The several elders discussed until this point, only to find themselves at a dead end with no way out.

Just as the four of them looked downcast, the tall illusionist suddenly tensed up, his face full of surprise, “Who’s there?!”The illusionist’s words had not yet completely fallen, accompanied by a faint gray energy fluctuation.

A group of sudden figures had already appeared out of thin air in front of the four elders and the tall, thin illusionist.

“Ancestor!”

As soon as the figures appeared, one immediately rushed to the blue-robed old man, excitement written all over their face: “I’m so glad you’re alright!”

The person was none other than Leslie Reynolds.

As for the other figures, they were naturally Leo Ray and his group.

“Leslie?!”

Seeing his beloved granddaughter miraculously appear before him, the blue-robed old man’s wrinkled face was instantly filled with tender love and joy, and he couldn’t believe it: “How did you get here?”

“Ancestor, elders, this is what happened.”

After the excitement, Leslie began to recount the series of events where she was rescued by Leo Ray,

At the same time, Leo Ray had already led his subordinates to surround the mysterious illusionist.

Leo Ray clearly understood that no matter who the other party was, he had to first make sure that they would not interfere with his plans.

“You… you can actually see through my illusions?”

Facing Leo Ray and his subordinates who had surrounded him, the tall, thin illusionist’s voice was noticeably more panicked and he tried to compose himself: “Who are you?”

As he spoke, the skinny illusionist attempted to become invisible and break away from the encirclement, only to find that his illusions had lost their original effectiveness.

“Stop trying useless tricks, if the illusion outside is affected, my master will not spare you.”

Elusa, along with Little Illusion who had transformed into a young mage, stepped forward and said faintly, “In our presence, all your moves will be useless.”

“Two illusionists stronger than me?!”

The thin illusionist’s panicked gaze lingered on Elusa and Little Illusion, eventually settling on the leading Leo Ray, and he exclaimed in shock, “Who are you, sir?”

“When asking someone’s identity, you should first introduce yourself, right?”

Leo Ray raised an eyebrow and nodded to Elusa.

From the beginning, Leo Ray had noticed that the other party was using illusion techniques to disguise themselves, and now it was time to see their true face.

“Understood, my Lord.”

Elusa complied, waving her slender hand in front of the subject, and a slender, strange female figure appeared in front of Leo Ray.

This person looked to be in her 20s with a white and delicate face that revealed a faint, barely visible trace of childishness.

What surprised Leo Ray the most was that the sharp yet not overly long ears clearly indicated-

This person was not a human, but a rarely-seen Half-Elf in the human world.

Although both foreign female illusionists, the slender figure and white, transparent face were starkly different from the petite Dark Elf, Elusa.

“Jasper Richardson, do you know this person?”

Seeing the other party’s distinct Half-Elf characteristics, Leo Ray first turned to his half-elf elder Jasper Richardson.

“My Lord, I do not know this stranger of the same race.”

Jasper Richardson bowed respectfully and replied: “Although Half-Elves are rare, there are more than just my Moonwhite Tribe. Many human countries on the periphery have had appearances of Half-Elf populations.”

“You… you can’t be?!”

Jasper Richardson had just finished speaking when Ariel Watson’s eyes widened in amazement, her face full of astonishment.
