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

Chapter 2014: Chapter 1130: The End of the Meeting_2

Don’t even mention nine Tier 5 Powerhouses, if all the magic traps within the court are activated, even twice the number of Tier 5 Powerhouses wouldn’t be able to stir up any trouble, let alone other lower-tier powerhouses.

Unless the Black Abyss Brotherhood had already scouted it thoroughly, knowing every single magic trap’s layout within the court and planning a detailed attack route, only then could they act so swiftly.

“You must know, the mechanism layout of this court is exceedingly complex, and many traps are mobile, only a king can fully master it. I only understood every little detail after Her Majesty the Queen’s coronation.”

Leo Ray looked into Diana’s amazed eyes, smiling, “I suppose Deputy Chair Your Excellency must be very curious about how the Black Abyss Brotherhood knew all this, right?”

“Actually, it’s not difficult to explain. As long as there’s a top-tier powerhouse frequently entering and exiting the court, paying particular attention and secretly using some precise detection scrolls to investigate, it’s actually not difficult to figure out. Of course, this is something that ordinary forces can’t achieve, and even the royal family of a kingdom would struggle to produce such a number of precise detection scrolls.”

At this point, Leo Ray’s tone became meaningful as he continued, “I suppose everyone is very curious, just who quietly figured all this out, right?”

“We’d love to hear the details, please don’t hold back, Your Royal Highness the Holy Lion Prince.”

Diana slightly frowned her brows, nodding to Leo Ray.

“I won’t hide it from Deputy Chair Your Excellency, those nine Tier 5 powerhouses of the Brotherhood who broke into the court have all been slain by our side, and the leader, the second Black-robed Person, is precisely the chief Archbishop Sevyn of the Coldflame Branch of the Temple of Light!”

Leo Ray once again shocked everyone with his words, his voice resonated in the ears of everyone present.

“What? Archbishop Sevyn is dead?!”

Upon hearing these words, it unsurprisingly caused a great stir in the meeting room.

Everyone, including Diana, looked at each other in disbelief, almost unable to believe their ears.

It must be known, Sevyn is one of the most senior chief Archbishops of the Temple of Light, renowned among the human various countries, regarded as the guide and representative of the Holy Light.

His own strength, while not reaching the Tier 5 peak, is an opponent that ordinary Defend the Nation powerhouses struggle to contend against, after all, he holds many powerful trump cards of the Temple of Light.

“That’s right, his corpse has been stored intensively by me. If any of you are interested, you can check at any time. It’s worth mentioning that while he appears to be only a Lord of using the Holy Light, his real Dark Power has long reached the Tier 5 peak, just very well hidden.”

Leo Ray slightly nodded, confirming the mercenaries’ suspicions.

“Your Royal Highness Prince, after all, these are just words from your side. Since he is dead and gone, how can Your Highness even prove all this?”

After a while, Lucas Duran only then snapped back from shock, raising his question.

From his sturdy face that revealed a hesitating expression, clearly just shy of questioning whether Leo Ray was deliberately using the deceased Sevyn to shift all the blame onto him.

Considering that Durant, the highest authority of the Coldflame Branch of the Neutral Organization, and Sevyn had known each other for more than a decade, though they were only ordinary friends without deep ties, Durant still found it hard to believe that the seemingly kind Sevyn could be a ruthless powerhouse of the Black Abyss Brotherhood.

“As the saying goes, you can’t know a person by their face. It’s reasonable for Deputy Chair Your Excellency to have such doubts. If it’s not Sevyn’s actions, then how does Deputy Chair Your Excellency explain His Majesty King Ironarm’s critical illness and the Brotherhood powerhouses’ familiarity with the court? Either way, only the leaders of the three major neutral organizations could manage such tasks.”

Leo Ray’s eyes slightly narrowed as he raised an eyebrow at Durant and said, “Could it be that all this was not the doing of the Temple of Light, but rather the Alchemist Guild or the Mercenary Guild?”

“Moreover, Deputy Chair Your Excellency must also know that, including this Royal Capital, almost all the main powerhouses of the Temple of Light escaped from the Coldflame Kingdom in advance, evading my pursuit. After all, I was focusing all my efforts on the perilous frontier fortress, there was no way I would be distracted by these insignificant figures.”

“In such circumstances, even the ordinary strength powerhouses of the Temple of Light could escape in time, yet Sevyn, as the strongest, was caught by me after lagging behind? Deputy Chair Your Excellency, do you find that plausible?”

Leo Ray’s voice became more intense as he continued, “Unless he walked right into the trap, that’s the only explanation, isn’t it?”

“Well…”

Durant was at a loss for words, suddenly softened.

“I understand what Your Royal Highness the Holy Lion Prince means.”

Diana rested her chin on her hand, pondering for a moment, then spoke, “Thank you, Your Royal Highness Prince, for your frankness.”

“Then, Deputy Chair Your Excellency, do you have a final conclusion?”

Leo Ray refocused his gaze on Diana’s slender body, slightly nodding.

Upon hearing this, our people held their breath, all tensing up again.

The attitude of the Mercenary Guild undoubtedly determined whether we needed to divert attention to deal with another mighty enemy.

At this stage, under the circumstances where everything is unknown, dealing with just the Temple of Light was enough to require our full attention; adding another would have predictable consequences.

In an instant, the entire atmosphere of the assembly was nearly frozen, as if time stood still.

Directly opposite us, Diana pondered for quite a while again before responding, “Since Your Royal Highness Prince has been so candid, disclosing so much vital information, our Mercenary Guild naturally reciprocates.”

“I assure Your Royal Highness Prince that until new evidence or information surfaces, the Mercenary Guild will maintain a neutral stance and will not participate in the conflict between the Temple of Light and the Coldflame Kingdom!”

Upon Diana’s words, our personnel visibly relaxed and silently breathed a sigh of relief.

On the Mercenary Guild’s side, Lucas Duran, who had been rendered speechless by Leo Ray, still hadn’t recovered from his imposing presence.

However, another elderly mercenary representative stroked his gray beard while whispering to Diana, “Deputy Chair Your Excellency, the Temple of Light has sent a letter personally penned by the Pope, requesting our Mercenary Guild to assist in capturing the traitors. If our Mercenary Guild remains absolutely neutral, it will inevitably affect the relationship with the Temple of Light.”

“After all, we currently lack substantial evidence to prove any connection between the Temple of Light and the Black Abyss Brotherhood. If we wrong the Temple of Light, I’m afraid the reputation of our Mercenary Guild will suffer significantly, even affecting the safety of the Human World.”

Upon hearing this, Diana slightly frowned and replied, “Old John, haven’t you noticed yet?”

“If we say something is just a coincidence, aren’t there too many coincidences in this matter? Precisely because it concerns the safety of the Human World, we must act cautiously, not blindly believing any side.”

Just as Diana said, Leo Ray’s series of words indeed resolved many of her doubts and confirmed many clues she held.

Although the connection between the Temple of Light and the Black Abyss Brotherhood hasn’t been confirmed yet, just these are enough for her to decide to maintain neutrality.

In other words, Leo Ray had already successfully persuaded her.

However, what intrigued Diana most was Leo Ray himself.

She was very curious about what other astonishing deeds this seemingly harmless smiling Alien Prince could accomplish with his fierce means.

In short, as long as the Coldflame Kingdom does not do anything to endanger the Human World, even if it unifies all under its rule, the Mercenary Guild has no reason to oppose the Coldflame Kingdom.

Because this would completely extinguish the flames of war between the human various countries, which would be a blessing for the Human World.

As it is, Diana and Old John’s whispered conversation, although hushed, seemed all too obvious.
