Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong Chapter 2714 1491: Inquiries and Surprises
Previously on Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong...
In the midst of that quiet pause, Leo Ray along with the other mighty figures from the Broken Valley couldn't resist glancing at their skeletal hands, their heads buzzing with endless reflections.
The strong ones there fully grasped the worries plaguing Loris and Sina. Sure, they didn't depend on the Forbidden Power for sustenance, and they weren't genuine undead souls either, but folks from the outside world had no idea about these details.
Should they end up sparking trade barriers for Leo Ray, the Rainforest Fortress Alliance, or the Desert Alliance, or even earn a bad name or attract needless foes, it would surely unleash a chain of seriously complicated problems.
With these thoughts swirling, old Gary let out a deep, weary breath.
To put it bluntly, even he found this half-alive condition to be a real headache.
If sticking around meant dragging Leo Ray and the rest into risks or hazards, did they even have a reason to stay?
"Old leader, and all you folks in the Broken Valley Alliance, don't sell yourselves short."
Leo Ray grasped Gary's bony hand and offered a light smile, adding, "You're right, I share the leaders' worries too, but once we fix the problem with our looks, doesn't that settle it all?"
"Your Majesty of the Humans, do you mean you can change us back to our usual forms?"
At those words, a blue light flickered in old Gary's empty eye sockets as he asked eagerly, and the rest of the Broken Valley Alliance's powerhouses gathered close, wearing matching looks of hope.
Not just old Gary and his group, but Loris and Sina also displayed faces full of doubt.
From what everyone knew, those who rose through vessels could shift to regular looks, but only if the vessel meshed well with the body, like the Ancient Dark Elves or the Kings of Coldflame. Be it in old mines with raw vessels or the Lion King Temple, the approach stayed the same.
Yet old Gary and his companions faced a unique twist, having fused the two straight up, which sparked energy clashes and blocked any return to normal looks—at least by standard logic.
"Yes, a companion of mine brought this up earlier, though that companion's stuck in the Human Domain right now for some reasons and can't make it here, so I'll have to head back and double-check the exact steps."
Leo Ray kept his subtle grin and replied calmly.
The companion Leo Ray referred to was none other than Pelican Princess Faye. While chatting about escaping Radiant City with her, she had touched on this very topic.
Legend had it that long ago, an old Human city dodged becoming a Land of the Undead under Witch Demon assault by using a close method, even if the steps differed a bit from old Gary's case—the outcome matched: they resembled Dead Spirits.
In the end, thanks to the Silver Fire King's work back then, a handful of elite Chosen Sons of God from the Human Clan managed to uncover a path for all to revert to their true forms, just like other vessel users.
"We owe you big thanks, Your Majesty of the Humans!"
Once Leo Ray confirmed it, old Gary and the others felt a huge surge of excitement, while Loris and Sina let out relieved exhales.
"In that light, the Rainforest Fortress Alliance has zero concerns left."
Loris rubbed his lion mane and eyed old Gary and the group with a touch of sheepishness, chuckling as he said, "Apologies, all of you, I jumped the gun a little earlier."
"The Desert Alliance shares that view."
Sina gave a nod and added, "If I've stepped on any toes, I hope you'll overlook it."
"No harm done at all. If I were in your shoes, I'd likely do the same thing."
Old Gary dismissed it with a wave and spoke openly, "We've lain low for ages, so please bear with our rough edges."
Then, old Gary turned back to Leo Ray and voiced his gratitude once more: "Your Majesty of the Humans, knowing you is hands down our biggest stroke of luck!"
"Old leader, save the formalities. We just battled together not long ago, watching each other's backs. Against that kind of bond, my help is really nothing much."
Leo Ray's face softened as he gave a small nod.
Part of why Leo Ray stepped up with this aid was that the Broken Valley Alliance's powerhouses had swung the fight heavily in our favor, so returning the favor made perfect sense.
On top of that, the Broken Valley Alliance packed serious fighting strength, boasting 30 legions right here, one of which held Tier 5 might. Having such a powerhouse lineup backing him would make this effort well worth it.
Next, Leo Ray chatted with the group about restoring the Broken Valley Alliance, all while the battlefield cleanup pressed on.
Back in the Bone Hall, the loot had been slim, but the Witch Demons carried plenty of valuables, and the gear dropped by the Dead Spirits was far from worthless.
As the others spread out to handle the battlefield once more, a small figure in a pink hooded cloak strolled casually from Ice Stone City, flanked by Qiana and her team.
From the smudge of grease lingering at the edge of this person's lips, it was obvious they'd just wolfed down a satisfying feast.
"Human kid, much obliged for the treat. It's been ages since I savored cake and ice cream, and the flavor hit the spot perfectly!"
Standing there was a tiny Forest Elf who had dropped her disguise, her face beaming with pure delight as she rubbed her stomach and bobbed her head: "This ranks as the best day I've had in decades!"
