“That matter?”
Upon hearing this, Ariel Watson, Joshua, and Burt were taken aback for a moment, and it took a while before they reacted in succession.
At this moment, Ariel’s fair face changed slightly, her crimson lips opening a few times, as if wanting to argue something.
However, after glancing at the indifferent expression of Leo Ray not far away, and Taylor standing respectfully beside him, she eventually sighed lightly and shook her head helplessly.
At this stage, “that matter” was already close at hand, and the location had been exposed.
Moreover, this annoying fellow had clearly discovered some clues.
Therefore, if she continued to pretend not to know, it would obviously be meaningless.
The most critical thing was that beside this guy, there was not only a Tier 5 Powerhouse.
There were also two Tier 4 Powerhouses and other Tier 3 Powerhouses, holding absolute superiority in strength…
Thinking of this, Ariel couldn’t help but recall the scene where Taylor killed the giant metal Sacred Lion with a single sword strike earlier.
Although the Coldflame Royal Family behind her also had two powerful Tier 5 Powerhouses in service.
Unfortunately, in this very special period of time, let alone ordering them, as long as they didn’t come to kill her because of her Coldflame Royal Family identity, she would be satisfied.
Realizing this, Ariel, who appeared somewhat downcast, first shared a glance with her fellow Kingdom Generals. After sensing the helplessness in their eyes, she took a step forward and said to Leo Ray, “Fine, it doesn’t matter if I tell you. As you know, I am indeed looking for ‘that matter.’
At this point, Ariel’s face showed a hint of uncontrollable pride, followed by a solemn tone, “If I’m not mistaken, the truth behind ‘that matter’ is that this place is the resting place of the founder of my Coldflame Kingdom, Hero King Caesar!”
“Oh?”
Upon hearing this, Leo Ray couldn’t help but show a surprised expression.
He was naturally no stranger to the name Hero King Caesar.
Over six hundred years ago, it was this man who led the famous Earth Dragon Knights Corps to conquer the battlefield and single-handedly establish the Coldflame Dynasty, which had flourished for centuries.
“So the truth behind ‘that matter’ is actually this guy’s final resting place.”
At this point, the surprise on Leo Ray’s face became even more apparent.
Before this, he had guessed that this place might be some kind of hidden treasure for the Coldflame Royal Family or some similar location.
However, he had never anticipated that the master of this place would turn out to be the first king of the Coldflame Kingdom!
“By the way, I once asked Linda why this place is called the Dragon’s Lair. From the name, it seems like a giant dragon had fallen here.”
“However, the answer I got was negative, and this fortress city located at the foot of the Hundred Ranges has never even seen a trace of a giant dragon, let alone one falling.”
At this moment, Leo Ray frowned slightly and continued to ponder in his heart, “Could it be… that this place is called the Dragon’s Lair because it really is the resting place of Hero King Caesar?”
“However, this kind of reasoning can only be understood by those of us who have a glorious civilization from the Blue Star Tower.”
People in this world have never heard of it before. I have already understood this, so maybe it’s just a coincidence.”
With this thought, Leo Ray regained his spirits and then asked Ariel, “By the way, since this is your ancestor’s burial place, why don’t you, as a member of the Coldflame Royal Family and the Fifth Princess, know the specific location?”
“You don’t know everything.”
Perhaps out of respect for her ancestor, Ariel had already dispelled her disguise at this point, revealing her original delicate face.
With her slightly curled hair hanging down her back and falling over her shoulders to her chest, she continued with a reverent expression, “This has always been one of the secrets of my Coldflame Royal Family. Even my father, the king, didn’t know the exact location of Hero King Caesar’s resting place until we came here. Perhaps, my great ancestor wanted to keep watch over our Coldflame Kingdom even after his death.”
Upon hearing this, Leo Ray noncommittally raised his eyebrows, gestured for his subordinates to start cleaning up and tidying the battlefield, and then continued to inquire, “So how did you eventually find out about the general location of this place?”
“Actually, it’s quite a coincidence.”
Ariel Watson moved her steps like a lotus, pacing slowly with her hands behind her back, her clear eyes turned misty as she reminisced, “A year ago, when my father was still in good health and none of this had happened yet, I once disguised myself and left the castle to visit the bustling streets of the Royal Capital.”
“By chance, I met a mysterious fortune-teller wearing a gray hooded cap, with an indistinct face, at a street stall.”
“It was this person who told me in a hoarse voice that during the bloody and fiery clash in the Royal Capital, I would find the resting place of my ancestral Hero King Caesar in a place west of the Demonic Shadow Forest river, where there were mountains, forests, towns, and a bloody glow.”
