“I see.”
Slowly withdrawing his gaze from the snowy mountains, Leo Ray nodded slightly and said, “It seems that the real power in this city is held by these so-called Mine Defense Teams, while the ordinary city defense army is just a foil.”
“My Lord, I have discovered this too.”
After bowing once again to Leo Ray, Rhizoma Drynariae spoke, “My old friend was promoted to the tier of Tier 3 Powerhouses a few years ago. However, from his expression at that time, he seemed to be quite apprehensive of the Mine Defense Team squad leader, who was only at the Tier 2 Peak Level.”
“Things are getting more and more interesting.”
Nodding thoughtfully, Leo Ray stretched lazily before addressing his subordinates, “In any case, we can now confirm that the strange vortex surrounding the entire Magnet Town is concentrated on the Lord of Magnet City.
Next, let’s start our investigation with Rhizoma Drynariae’s old friend, who is the commander of the Magnet Town Defense Army.”
“By your command, my Lord!”
On the other hand, the subordinates responded in unison, saluting and speaking in one voice.
Having made up his mind, Leo Ray led his subordinates back to the shabby wooden house that was on the verge of collapse.
Looking at Estelle Reiss’s father lying on the bed, Leo Ray had a Tier 2 Healing Potion with a unique fragrance appear in his hand with a wave of his mind.
Just a moment ago, after Taylor and the others had examined Estelle’s father’s leg injury, they discovered that it was indeed very serious, and this magic medicine could have an extremely great healing effect.
For a while, the damp room was immediately filled with a peculiar fragrance, making everyone feel refreshed and invigorated.
“City Lord, what…what is this?”
Gazing at the translucent and round alchemical product in Leo Ray’s hand, Estelle’s father couldn’t help but look puzzled.
At the same time, several white-haired old men around also began to look at each other.
These ordinary civilians had naturally never seen this kind of Miracle Medicine that circulated only in upper-class society.
“This is a Tier 2 Healing Potion. Take it quickly.”
Hearing this, Leo Ray didn’t explain further but just smiled slightly and handed the magic medicine to their hands.
“I…thank you so much, City Lord!”
Trembling as he took the magic medicine, Estelle’s father immediately showed an incredulous expression and fell into a state of shock.
It must be known that this item, worth tens of thousands of Gold Dragons, was an absolutely unreachable and unimaginable dream for people like them!
On the other side, several old men also revealed shocked expressions and were instantly dumbfounded.
At this moment, everyone felt as if they were in a dream-like state.
To be so favored by the City Lord, they wouldn’t have dared to think of it even in their dreams before!
Next, as it was almost noon, Leo Ray first arranged for Estelle and her father, as well as several other old men, to temporarily hide in a secluded area of the slums.
After that, he led his subordinates to move quickly towards the direction agreed upon with Rhizoma Drynariae’s former comrade.
Two suns, one big and one small, shone fiercely in the sky.
At the edge of the slum in Magnet Town, collapsed wooden houses and scattered garbage mixed together, along with the foul-smelling, muddy drains running in-between, painting a picture of chaos and desolation.
At this moment, a figure dressed as an ordinary farmer stood in front of a dilapidated house.
It was none other than Rhizoma Drynariae, who was wearing an Illusion Cloak but had removed the hooded cap.
Previously, through Leo Ray’s numerous attempts and experiments, the subordinates had completely mastered the use of Illusion Cloaks.
If they put on the cloak and wore the hood that came with it, they would completely transform into another person.
However, if they only wore the cloak without the hood, it would only change their clothes, which was very convenient.
Not long after, as a gust of wind swept by and dust filled the air, another burly figure clad in defense army light armor came whistling.
As the dust gradually settled, the burly figure with an impressive aura became clear.
This man’s age was almost the same as Rhizoma Drynariae’s, both already middle-aged with an unyielding look on their faces.
From his aura, it was evident that he had reached the Tier 3 Powerhouse Level.
Moreover, on his dark left cheek, there was a conspicuous scar, presumably caused by some attack magic.
“Rhizoma Drynariae, I didn’t expect you to come to Magnet Town to find me!”
With a hearty laugh, the man quickly approached with excitement and stretched out his arms for a hug.
“Nathan Howard, long time no see.”
On the other side, Rhizoma Drynariae also had a smile on his face as he went for a big hug with Nathan Howard.
When they stood up again, Nathan Howard, feeling a much stronger aura from Rhizoma Drynariae compared to himself, couldn’t help showing a slightly surprised look on his face.
It should be noted, back when they were both at Tier 2 Peak Level, Nathan Howard had advanced to Tier 3 Powerhouse first on the battlefield.
But just a few years had passed since their last meeting, and now, Rhizoma Drynariae’s aura seemed to be significantly higher than his own.
“Rhizoma Drynariae, you must have practiced diligently these years. Your strength is already above mine, your old friend.”
