Translator: 549690339
As the royal capital that serves as the center of Coldflame, and compared to this remote Cyan Town, the difference can only be described as worlds apart, beyond comparison in the same day.
However, this peaceful atmosphere and scenery is something Ariel, the Coldflame Princess, hasn’t seen in the capital for a long time.
What she encountered was endless killing and carnage everywhere.
And all this, she, the weakest one, was utterly powerless and could not change anything.
Just as Ariel was feeling a bit lost in thought,
Leo Ray had already walked past Ariel amidst the crowd.
“Since we’ve already toured around, let’s go back.”
Immediately after, a calm voice entered Ariel’s ear.
“Tsk, as expected, a detestable guy. I need to talk to you; see you later.”
On the other side, Ariel wrinkled her nose and then quickly left, pulling Joshua’s arm with her.
Twenty minutes later, the hall of the Lord’s Mansion in Cyan Town.
Presently, even though it was late at night, the spacious hall filled with Light Crystal Stones was still as bright as day, so the smooth and shiny marble floor even clearly reflected people’s shadows.
Leo Ray, who was sitting in the throne at the upper seat, tilted his head slightly
and looked at Ariel seated not too far away on a luxurious chair that had been obviously shortened. He smiled and said, “My dear Her Highness the Fifth Princess, you wanted to see me?”
At this time, Ariel had already dispelled her disguise and resumed her graceful and noble demeanor, her delicate and flawless face exuding a faint sense of royal pride unique to the royal family.
However, since she was visually shorter than Leo Ray by a few heads, this momentum was almost completely suppressed.
“That’s right.”
Ariel raised her eyebrows and, although she didn’t want to do it, she looked up at Leo Ray due to her low position and continued, “I have some questions to ask.”
“Oh?”
On the other side, Leo Ray raised his eyebrows, tilted his head again, and looked down at the shortened Ariel, saying, “Go ahead.”
“It’s nothing important, though.”
Ariel shrugged her shoulders, trying to appear casual and continued, “Since you’ve already agreed to let me move freely in the city, then if I want to go to the surrounding area of Cyan Town, you shouldn’t refuse, right?”
“The performance is coming so fast? It seems that ‘that matter’ is quite urgent for Ariel.”
As he secretly pondered this, Leo Ray’s face immediately showed a troubled expression. It seemed as if he had gone through a struggle, then he opened his mouth and said, “Well, it’s not impossible.”
“Great!”
Hearing this, Ariel’s face lit up with joy. Immediately, she quickly coughed a few times to cover her happiness, then showed a calm demeanor and said, “I have a question for you. As the Lord of Cyan City, you should be very familiar with the surrounding terrain, right?”
“Just so-so.”
Leo Ray smiled slightly and continued, “I wonder where my dear Her Highness the Fifth Princess wants to go?”
Without a doubt, at this moment, Leo Ray was acutely aware.
If there were no accidents, the place the other party wanted to go would be closely related to ‘that matter.’
According to the information provided by Celeste Reiss, although he could confirm that Ariel had not yet found the specific location of ‘that matter,’
the other party must have clues in their hands.
And this is undoubtedly the important information he currently lacks.
“It’s not any specific place.”
Not far away, Ariel continued as she smoothed her slightly curled blue hair, “The princess just wants to find a place with beautiful scenery to relax.”
After finishing speaking, Ariel pretended to cough lightly and then added, “Of course, there are requirements, such as the location being west of the Demonic Shadow Forest River, with mountains and forests in the vicinity.
By the way, there should also be a town nearby, so the princess can find a place to rest when she’s tired. Regarding such a place, do you have any good suggestions?”
Hearing Ariel’s request, Leo Ray slightly raised his eyebrows.
Without any doubt, if he had not obtained information that Ariel was looking for ‘that matter,’
this seemingly ordinary request would not present any problems.
But at this moment, it was not difficult to deduce that Ariel’s request was undoubtedly a clue to finding ‘that matter.’
“I have to say, as long as I understand, seeing Ariel’s technique of conversation again makes me feel quite overwhelmed.”
Looking at Ariel who was blinking her big eyes, a seemingly calm expression on her face, but with an uncontrollable expectation, and trying her best to suppress but couldn’t help it,
Leo Ray slightly raised his eyebrows and started pondering.
“West of the Demonic Shadow Forest River, which is the plain where Cyan Town is located, so the location of the territory in the forest area can be excluded.”
At this time, Leo Ray’s mind was racing quickly as he silently thought, “Since it has been identified to be on this side of Cyan Town, then the area with mountains, forests, and towns can only be three places.
The first is Magnet Town, which I just conquered today. It is close to the endless Hundred Ranges, surrounded by large tracts of forests, and fits the clues perfectly.
