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

Chapter 884: Chapter 563: The Missing Lord of Golin City_2

Upon completing all of this, Leo Ray led his main subordinates, bid farewell to the reluctant Rose Marquis, and headed straight towards Golin City.

As for the subsequent safety issue of the Rose Marquis, Leo Ray was no longer worried.

First, through his equipment upgrade and supply of Magic Medicine, the enchanting big man, known as Scarlett, had experienced a qualitative leap in strength.

Second, the Tier 2 personal guard unit had also improved its combat power after the equipment change.

Lastly, the current situation in Coldflame was unpredictable. After the Fortress Defense Battle, the three princes’ primary targets had become Leo Ray and Ariel Watson. As a result, the pressure on the Rose Marquis’ side had naturally lessened.

And so, after a swift journey, by the time the dusty party consisting of Leo Ray and his followers arrived in Golin City, sunset was just around the corner.

“My Lord!”

In a spacious room on the second floor of the “Drink Without A Sword” tavern, the tavern owner Matthew, the Shadow Squad commander Fiona Harding and a group of Shadow Squad soldiers, bowed to Leo Ray and lowered their heads in salute.

Not long ago, at the suggestion of Matthew, this unassuming little tavern had become the secret base for their spies in Golin City.

“There’s no need for such formalities.”

Nodding slightly, Leo Ray motioned for his subordinates to make themselves at home and have some tea while he asked Matthew and Fiona Harding, “How is the secret base operating?”

“Reporting to My Lord, everything is proceeding in an orderly fashion!”

Fiona Harding, with her short, wheat-colored hair, replied crisply, “With the Illusion Cloaks and Invisibility Cloaks provided by My Lord, our actions have undoubtedly become more convenient!”

“That’s good. I’ll get straight to the point, then.”

Immediately after, Leo Ray explained the purpose of his visit and what he had learned from the Rose Marquis about the suspected disappearance of the Lord of Golin City to the two of them.

“I didn’t expect My Lord to be so well-informed.”

With a surprised tone, Fiona Harding bowed and said, “My Lord, just before you arrived, the Shadow members monitoring the City Lord Mansion and the surrounding areas of the city had reported back in succession.”

“Just now, commanders above the level of deputy commander of Golin City’s Defense Army, who had held a mysterious meeting in the City Lord Mansion for most of the day, had already begun secret actions.”

“Not only did they rarely seal off all the mining areas under operation, but they also initiated a large-scale search operation within the city.”

Pausing for a moment, Fiona Harding continued, “With this in mind, along with the fact that the Lord of Golin City had not appeared for quite some time, Matthew and I concluded that the Lord of Golin City might have gone missing.”

“It seems that due to the disappearance of the City Lord, chaos has already begun in Golin City.”

Nodding slightly, Leo Ray asked, “If the Lord of Golin City has indeed been missing for several days, who is currently managing Golin City?”

“Answering My Lord, Lord Hode of Golin City has one son and one daughter, both of whom have been adults for many years and have reached the Tier Third in strength.”

With white-haired temples and bowing, Matthew replied, “Since these two had assumed some of Lord Hode’s duties after they came of age, they have been leading the city with the assistance of the clan elders.”

“Interesting.”

Hearing this, Leo Ray raised an eyebrow and asked, “Apart from that, have you learned any other information?”

“Reporting to My Lord, there’s also the matter Fiona Harding just mentioned about the sealing off of all the mining areas in Golin City.”

Maintaining his respectful posture, the nearly sixty-year-old Matthew continued, “In the decade or so that I have lived in Golin City, I have never encountered the sealing off of ore veins. After all, that’s the lifeline of Golin City.”

Nodding to Leo Ray, Matthew continued, “From this, I speculate that the disappearance of the Lord of Golin City might be related to the ore veins in some hidden way.”

“A potential connection with the ore veins?”

Hearing this, Ariel Watson couldn’t help but frown slightly, “Could it be that the disappearance of the Lord of Golin City was not caused by human factors, but rather some unknown accident?””It’s highly likely.”

With a thoughtful hand on his chin, Leo Ray pondered, “In this case, it explains why the other party hasn’t issued an official announcement. Firstly, it’s to maintain the normal operation of the city; secondly, it’s to uphold the reputation of their family.

After all, the unexplained disappearance of a City Lord is not something to brag about.”

“What my Lord says is absolutely right. I’m afraid the other party wants to take advantage of this time to secretly find Lord Hode’s whereabouts.”

As he stroked his white beard, Burt added, “However, due to the lack of news about Lord Hode, they finally have no choice but to expand the search.”

“But how could a Tier 4 Powerhouse who rules this city disappear without a trace on his own familiar territory? This is simply unimaginable.”

On the other side, slim Joshua stood with one hand on his hip, wearing a puzzled expression.

“This shows that there must be some hidden secret involved.”

With a slight shrug, Leo Ray continued, “However, this is a rare opportunity for us. As long as we can uncover the mystery and rescue the Lord of Golin City, it won’t be impossible to win him over.”

“My Lord is absolutely right!”

Hearing this, Scarlett, who had once again put on her witch hat, puffed out her chest and said, “There’s nothing impossible as long as my Lord takes action!”

“My Lord, what should we do next?”

After nodding to Scarlett, Ariel Watson chimed in, “According to the clues we have gathered so far, finding the Lord of Golin City is like searching for a needle in a haystack.”

“What we need to do next is simple.”

Gazing at the powerful subordinates before him, Leo Ray said with a faint smile, “I can imagine that the City Lord’s children must be in a very panicked state right now.

What we need to do is to go to the City Lord Mansion’s gate and ask them if they need help.”

…

“Sis, we’ve been searching for so many days now, but there’s still no news of Father. Where could he have gone?”

In a small assembly hall in Golin City Lord Mansion, a young man in knight attire spoke with a worried face to another slim young woman in light armor.

Both of them had similar striking appearances and belonged to the type of handsome men and beautiful women.

However, in terms of emotions, the young man obviously seemed much more agitated.

Although the young woman was also somewhat at a loss, her eyebrows revealed a trace of calmness and steadiness.

“Sis, do you think something dangerous has happened to Father?”

Seeing that the young woman didn’t answer, the young man couldn’t help but ask again.

“Don’t jinx it. There’s no need to talk nonsense,” she glared at the young man, both arms crossed, her eyebrows furrowed. “Father is a formidable Tier 4 Powerhouse, how could he be in danger right outside our doorstep?”

“But the atmosphere within the family has become strange. Some of the elders have given up hope of finding Father and have even begun discussing funeral arrangements…”

Swallowing unconsciously, the young man continued.

“That’s because they’re eyeing the position of Lord of Golin City. Although they don’t dare to show their ambitions openly, their true intentions are already clear!”

Snorting disdainfully, the young woman’s eyebrows almost furrowed together.

“Sis, what should we do then?”

Hearing this, the young man’s face suddenly showed panic, and he hurriedly asked, “Could they really dare to make a move against us while Father is away?!”
