Immediately, Nathan rushed over, picked up the key on the ground, and unlocked the chains wrapped around the emaciated man.
“Cousin Nathan, who is this… gentleman?”
Seeing Leo Ray, who was surrounded by the main force subordinates with a mighty aura, Ned, the deputy of the Lord of Magnet Town, asked with a face full of disbelief amidst his ecstasy.
“Cousin Ned, let me explain…”
Nathan, the commander of the Magnet Town defense team, briefly described to Ned how Leo Ray and his party came to Magnet Town.
“So, the lord of Cyan Town is not only here to help the residents of Cyan Town but also to help us, the residents of Magnet Town?”
After a long pause,
Ned’s face suddenly showed an overjoyed expression, and he quickly knelt down on one knee to Leo Ray, saying, “I am Ned, and I pay my respects to the Lord of Cyan Town! Thank you very much for saving me, otherwise, it wouldn’t have been long before I would have died here.”
“Your Excellency Ned, there is no need for such formalities.”
Leo Ray nodded slightly, looking at the scarred Ned, and then asked, “How did you end up like this?”
“Ah, to be honest with you, I was just trying to help the residents of the city get some food, and that’s when I angered our City Lord.”
Ned shook his head helplessly and sighed deeply first,
Then he replied, “In recent years, our Lord of Magnet City has become more and more eccentric, especially this year, when he has even stopped appearing in public and only talks to us subordinates through a giant screen.”
“Oh? Something like that happened?”
Upon hearing this, Leo Ray helped the other party up and then asked, “Do you know why the Lord of Magnet City no longer shows his face?”
“I don’t know,”
Ned shook his head slightly, and due to his injuries, his expression was a bit painful. He continued, “But what’s certain is that the City Lord’s voice hasn’t changed, he just doesn’t want to show his true face.”
“I see. It seems that we have to uncover the truth ourselves.”
Contemplating for a moment, Leo Ray looked at Ned, who had injuries all over his body, and with a thought,
A Tier 3 Light Healing Magic Scroll, obtained from the Elf Ruins, suddenly appeared in his hand.
Immediately, a holy golden light lit up, illuminating the entire dark cell as if it were daytime.
A large number of energy particles filled with the power of healing attached themselves to Ned’s bloodied body.
In an instant, the inflamed wounds on Ned’s body began to heal at a visible speed. Some even completely returned to normal, leaving no trace whatsoever.
“Is this a healing magic scroll?! It looks like it’s not of a low rank… ”
Feeling the warmth that continued to flood in, the disbelief on Ned’s face was evident.
He had never expected that the Lord of Cyan Town would use such a precious item on him, an outer city official he had just met for the first time!
At this moment, compared to the ruthless Lord of Magnet City who had imprisoned him here,
Ned’s mind was filled with thoughts, and his body began to tremble slightly from excitement.
No matter what, the dark night that had enveloped Magnet Town for a long time had finally welcomed the dawn!
“Lord, all the officials of Magnet Town have been rescued,”
After a while, Linda’s energetic voice came through the mind talk.
“Alright, since that’s the case, we should go and meet the Lord of Magnet City.”
Hearing this, Leo Ray nodded slightly.
“Wait, Sir!”
Just then, both Nathan and Ned spoke almost simultaneously.
Turning around, Leo Ray noticed,
that the two brothers were kneeling on one knee again, lowering their heads deeply.
“Sir, we swear to serve you with our lives! Please take control of Magnet Town and save us!”
Immediately after, the unwavering voices of the two reached Leo Ray’s ears once more.
“It seems that it’s time to tell you my true identity.”
Hearing this, Leo Ray nodded slightly,
Then, after revealing his identity as the Otherworldly Lord to Nathan and Ned and consuming a Tier 2 Recruitment Order and a Tier 3 Recruitment Order,
The familiar prompt soon sounded in Leo Ray’s ear.
[Congratulations, Tier 3 Two-Star Shield Breaker Warrior Nathan Smith has signed the Master-Servant Contract with you and become your new subordinate!]
[Congratulations, Tier 2 Three-star Earth and Rock Mage Ned Smith has signed the Master-Servant Contract with you and become your new subordinate!]
After helping the two men up one by one, Leo Ray’s face couldn’t help but reveal a smile.
Originally, his main purpose for his trip was to bring back Celes Reiss’s family and the residents of Cyan Town, and to gather some information about Magnet Town just in case.
But looking at it now, this entire Magnet Town will soon be under his rule.
“Although this is a devastated city, I believe that with my strong financial support, it will soon regain its past vitality.”
Thinking about this, Leo Ray immediately opened the attribute column of the two men in front of him.

Closing the attribute column of the two men, Leo Ray smiled faintly and said, “Well, let’s go and see what kind of secrets the Lord of Magnet City, who would rather sacrifice the entire city and mine recklessly, is hiding.”
“As you command, Lord!”
Upon hearing this, all the old and new subordinates bowed to Leo Ray with their fists clasped.
