Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong Chapter 2962 1619: Invitation and Reunion_2

Enhancing my standing rapidly to rival first-class powers in a short span is undeniably a constrained and exceptionally difficult objective at this juncture. The celebratory feast at the Shadow Market presents an exceptional chance to surmount this limitation. Establishing contact with influential figures from first-class factions or high-ranking Shadow Market officials would provide the ideal pathway to acquire Tier 6 unupgraded artifacts!

With this in mind, Leo Ray, despite his internal excitement, emitted a soft cough and calmly stated, "Since everyone extends such sincere invitations, I shall not refuse."

"Wonderful! Then one of my allocated slots will be reserved for Your Majesty, and you may designate the recipient for the remaining slot as well!" Before any other administrators could voice their claims, our administrator interjected.

"Your Majesty, I too wish to reserve my slot for you!" Several other administrators eagerly pushed forward, even displacing our administrator from the screen's view.

The Bazaar Brotherhood's regulations stipulate that the higher the guest's status, the greater the benefit to subsequent rankings, explaining the administrators' fervent competition.

"Very well, esteemed colleagues, we are all united in our advance; there is no need for such distinctions." Leo Ray promptly recognized the unfolding situation. He motioned for everyone to cease their jostling and then smiled, remarking, "While our bonds are inseparable, matters must follow their proper order. Administrator N, having known me the longest, naturally holds the most significant position."

"However, do not fret, others. I shall arrange for the monarchs of each respective force to attend as distinguished guests, lending their support to all of you." Leo Ray slightly raised an eyebrow, maintaining his smile. "Rest assured, your five individuals have all rendered exceptional service. Even should more administrators join in the future, your esteemed positions will remain unshakeable."

It is important to note that the territories overseen by Administrator N and the others fall directly under Leo Ray's dominion, granting him ample authority to allocate these coveted slots. Furthermore, now that the entirety of the second-tier domain is under his control, there remain other administrators overseeing regions Leo Ray has yet to establish contact with. It is certain, however, that these administrators possess higher standing than Administrator N and the initial five, a fact Leo Ray conveyed through his reassurance.

"Then we shall entrust all arrangements to Your Majesty's wise guidance!" Our administrator managed to squeeze back into view, speaking in unison with the others, "We will arrive to escort Your Majesty tomorrow evening precisely on time!"

"Excellent, it is settled then." Leo Ray gave a slight nod, then a thought struck him, and he added with a smile, "Ah, yes, we are having a celebratory banquet tonight. I will have someone deliver provisions and spoils of war to you all. Please coordinate with Qiana later for the distribution!"

"Our deepest gratitude, Your Majesty of the Humans!" The five administrators exclaimed in unison, their faces beaming with excitement. Leo Ray then handed the Magic Stone to Qiana, who stood attentively by his side.

Following his conversation with the administrators, and as Leo Ray had previously mentioned, with celebrations erupting across various locations today, centering in Ice Stone City, Leo Ray proceeded to the main venue to partake in merriment and drink with his generals.

It was quite late when Leo Ray finally returned to his residence within Lion Castle.

"Ariel Watson continues her promotion process. Everything appears to be progressing smoothly; I sincerely hope she achieves success swiftly." Leo Ray reclined on the plush bed, succumbing to sleep shortly thereafter.

...

The following morning, after completing his ablutions, Leo Ray, as was his custom, made his way back to his territory to attend to daily administrative matters.

During this period, with the comprehensive completion of the inner city's construction, the outer city's development is also advancing in an orderly fashion. Thus far, the territory has expanded to an astonishing scale, far exceeding that of a typical city and even rivaling the vastness of a capital metropolis.

Ordinary residents have commenced their relocation into the territory, comprising primarily top-tier talents from diverse fields and the families of carefully selected subordinates. This influx includes not only the kin of local subordinates but also those of summoned subordinates.

Subsequent to Leo Ray's implementation of a comprehensive territorial system, numerous subordinates have found their ideal partners during periods of leave, with some even embarking on the path of marriage.

"Furthermore, the development of Lord's Technology is also proceeding admirably, with many projects reaching significant milestones and nearing their deployment."

"Regarding the Multicolored Ingots required for the Lord's Mansion upgrade, over half of the necessary quantity has been procured, bringing us closer to advancing the Mansion's capabilities."

With such thoughts, Leo Ray had already made his way back to the command hall of Ice Stone City.

"Thinking about it, tonight's banquet is indeed a prime opportunity, but the strong figures from those first-class powers attending must certainly possess demigod-level might, whereas I only have powerhouses at most at the half-step Tier 7 level. Clearly, my strength is rather insufficient in comparison."

This realization caused Leo Ray to furrow his brow slightly.

Just then, a tall woman clad in white robes entered with hurried steps from outside the doorway, her demeanor brimming with excitement—it was Lily.

"Your Majesty, the Triple Magic Prohibition, concealed deep within the Light Elf ruins, has finally been dispelled!"

Lily's comely face was alight with exhilaration as she offered a salute to Leo Ray, her hand placed over her chest.

Due to her reappearance via the Lion King Temple, Lily, also a Chosen Son of God, found her actions restricted solely within the Human Domain, preventing her participation in the recent intense battles. Consequently, Leo Ray had entrusted her with the crucial task of continuously monitoring the situation concerning the Triple Magic Prohibition.

"Oh?"

Leo Ray's eyes flashed with renewed interest as he rose from his seat.

Ever since his initial visit to the Light Elf Ruins, he had been consumed by curiosity about what lay hidden at its core, sealed away by numerous protective layers. After such a prolonged period, he finally had the chance to obtain even a glimpse!

"It is fortunate that no pressing matters occupy us today. We should depart immediately to investigate."

Leo Ray gave a slight nod and proceeded to summon the assembled strongmen.

While awaiting their arrival, a thought surfaced in Leo Ray's mind. He flipped his hand, and an exquisitely carved Crystal Ring materialized, which he then presented to Lily.

Upon the crystal-clear surface of the ring, an intricate array of magic runes was inscribed, subtly radiating a profound and mystical aura.

"Your Majesty, this is...?"

Sensing the faint coolness emanating from the Crystal Ring, Lily was momentarily perplexed.

"This is a high-quality vessel, capable of containing power up to Tier 6,"

Leo Ray explained with a gentle smile. "I am aware that your true strength surpasses your current outward appearance, but the Lion King Temple indeed imposes limitations, preventing you from advancing further or fully unleashing your capabilities. With this, you can transcend those restrictions."

This novel container had been discovered by Leo Ray on the deceased Broken Wing King, presumably intended as an item for preserving life. Regrettably, it had gone unused before its owner met their end, torn asunder by a horde of second-tier powerhouses.

"Thank you most sincerely for Your Majesty's magnanimous gift!"

Upon hearing this, Lily's fair countenance was instantly suffused with overwhelming joy, and she promptly knelt to express her profound gratitude.

The immense value of such a container was self-evident, and Leo Ray's willingness to bestow it upon her was, without question, an extraordinarily generous gesture!

It was worth remembering that the Crystal Ball she had possessed previously, while also a container, had been so severely damaged that it could only hold her life source without being able to manifest it. This very limitation had been the reason for her confinement within the depths of the Temple at that time.

Now, equipped with this pristine, high-caliber container, she would no longer be subject to any constraints, free to accompany Leo Ray and engage in combat alongside him anywhere!

"There is no need for such thanks; you facilitated the unlocking of the Triple Magic Prohibition deep within the ruins for me, so the gratitude should be mine."

Leo Ray bent down to help her to her feet, offering a slight smile.

Shortly thereafter, with his strongmen fully assembled, Leo Ray drew a deep breath and then gestured emphatically with his hand: "Then, it is time we unveil the mysteries concealed within those ancient ruins."
