Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong Chapter 2772: 1521: The Mysterious Emblem

“By the way, how did you know there was so much hidden combat power here?”

Standing before the orderly lineup of alchemy puppets, Moli's starry eyes sparkled as she turned to Broy with curiosity.

“A man of the mountains has his own wits.”

Broy held back from answering Moli right away, instead glancing at Leo Ray with a faint look that sought permission to reply.

The Dwarf Elf King knew full well that despite Moli's impressive feats and her tight bond with Jasper Richardson, she wasn't one of Leo Ray's direct followers. That's why he maintained a proper boundary.

Catching Broy's questioning gaze, Leo Ray gave a small nod, signaling that Broy could go ahead and respond to Moli.

Leo Ray appreciated Broy's careful approach completely.

Lurking behind Moli was the mighty Forest Elf Race, one of the Ten Thousand Clans' top powers, with depths impossible to measure.

Even though Moli harbored no ill will herself, her easygoing ways could accidentally spill some of our secrets, and if her clan members twisted that, it would leave us in a tough spot.

For that reason, he stayed extra vigilant about it, covering his talent, the Lord's tech, and plenty of other matters.

“All the same, even if it's only a guess, I carry the weight of everyone's lives on our team, so I'd never gamble like that.”

“In this Outer Region territory where power rules all, the tiniest slip-up can spark huge calamities, just like we've witnessed so many times since the Era of Blankness began.”

“But this issue poses no threat. The Forest Elves wouldn't bat an eye even if these alchemy puppets grew tenfold, so hiding them isn't necessary.”

“On top of that, if there's a chance to hold onto Moli, that would be ideal. If the moment isn't right, I'll find ways to keep this young lady close, even if I have to hand over a hundred hooded caps.”

With those thoughts crossing his mind, Leo Ray watched as Broy cleared his throat and started sharing the full story.

“Hehe, since the Lord and Your Excellency Moli are so eager to know, I'll tell you how it went. I picked up the intel from the other Dwarf Elves at the fortress near Observation City!”

Broy thumped his chest with pride as he replied, “They said that once the Era of Blankness wrapped up, when the Human Clan and Dwarf Elves stirred from their slumber in Observation City, they stumbled upon this Dwarf Elf Warehouse right in the city, which gave them a big boost in fighting strength.”

“Taking that as a starting point, and noting how this spot mirrors Observation City—except it's all in ruins—I figured there might be a Dwarf Elf Warehouse hidden here too. So, I dug around for its whereabouts and the activation method, and amazingly, I actually uncovered it!”

Listening to Broy's account, Moli's starry eyes grew wide in wonder as she said, “Using clues from that place to unlock the warehouse here? Could that spot truly be some kind of parallel world? It's downright astonishing.”

“No surprise you've been dashing off to the Underground Fortress lately. Looks like your efforts paid off.”

Leo Ray grinned and clapped Broy on the shoulder, giving an approving nod.

Once he finished speaking, a thoughtful look settled on Leo Ray's features.

Moli had hit the nail on the head—if Broy managed something like this, then parallel worlds really did seem like the best fit.

In the realm where old Book dwells, Observation City stands intact, and the Silver Fire Kingdom still guides the Human Clan at the forefront of the Ten Thousand Clans. But here, both Observation City and the Silver Fire Kingdom are gone, backing up my earlier ideas about parallel worlds.

Moreover, in chats with old Book before, I'd closely checked out the layout of the land there, and it matches this place perfectly.

“Still, the puzzle lingers, since old Book's situation is merely one instance. How do I account for all the totally different layouts I've heard about elsewhere?”

While Leo Ray mulled this over, Broy, now with the go-ahead, set about rousing the alchemy puppets from their long sleep.

Before long, Broy had seized full command of the alchemy puppets.

Through it all, Leo Ray observed that these alchemy puppets, much like the ones in the prior Dwarf Elf Warehouse, came fitted with all sorts of modules, making them way smarter than your average puppet.

With things moving along without a hitch, right as Leo Ray geared up to wrestle with those lingering questions in his head, a sudden urgent message rang in his mind.

Upon linking up, Serena Clark's voice burst through in astonishment: “Lord, hurry over to the bell tower spot on the northwest edge of the ruins!”

“On my way right now.”

Leo Ray dipped his head in acknowledgment, then guided Moli and Broy out of the makeshift Dwarf Elf Warehouse.

After spending so many days in Observation City, Leo Ray knew exactly where Serena Clark meant.

It wasn't long before Leo Ray reached the spot she indicated.

Up ahead stretched the wreckage of a toppled bell tower, littered with chunks of shattered walls.

From the jagged remains close by, Serena and Stella Clark, together with the rest, hurried over at once.

“Lord, we've just uncovered some really strange marks!”

The twin sisters pressed their hands to their hearts and bowed together in greeting.
