Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong

Chapter 115 - 115: 115: Too Small, the Pattern is Too Small 1

On the other side, Kombu rubbed his hands together as was his habit, smiling broadly, “To not keep anything from my lord, I just got this news last night…”

At this point, Kombu leaned in a bit closer and said, “The nearest city to Cyan

Town, Golin City, which lies at the foot of the Hundred Ranges, will hold the

once-every-five-years Alchemist Qualification Assessment starting tomorrow.”

Chuckling, Kombu continued, “Many outstanding alchemists will be there, including some heaven-defying geniuses and freakish talents. So, my lord, you will definitely be able to buy the magic potions you desire from them.”

Leo Ray nodded slightly, a smile appearing on his face.

Through his understanding of this otherworldly realm, he knew clearly that the so-called “Miracle Medicine” was indeed a product of alchemists’ refining.

It was said that to refine a single magic potion, one needed not only numerous rare treasures but also a large amount of time and energy.

Moreover, the success rate was extremely limited. Even the most top-notch alchemists had no guarantee of a 100% success rate in refining.

Crucially, during the refinement process, various backlash effects could occur if one was not careful, some of which could even threaten one’s life.

As a result, along with the miraculous effects of the magic potions, this contributed to their high value and rarity.

Of course, for this reason, the profession of an alchemist held great prestige in this world, with most of its practitioners being rebellious and unorthodox individuals.

With this in mind, Leo Ray stood up from his throne, patted Kombu on his plump shoulder, and said leisurely, “Guild Master Kombu, you’re really thinking small.”

“Thinking small?”

Kombu looked confused and bowed quickly, asking, “My lord, how have I been thinking small?”

“Of course, your vision is too narrow.”

Leo Ray smiled faintly, his eyes deepening as he said, “Since there’s such a good opportunity, what I need to do is not just buy some magic potions. It’s more than that.”

“My lord, do you mean…?”

After a brief pause, Kombu reacted immediately, his face showing a sudden understanding, incredulously asking, “You want to bring the alchemists themselves to our side?”

“That’s right.”

Leo Ray nodded slightly, murmuring, “Genius and freakish alchemists, huh? I’m really looking forward to meeting such unique individuals. If they’re not at that level, I’m afraid they don’t have the qualifications to work for me.”

“My lord is wise, and I am ashamed! My lord’s vision is indeed broader than mine. I was indeed shortsighted!” Hearing this, Kombu took the opportunity to flatter immediately.

And so, after bidding farewell to Kombu, Leo Ray welcomed the third batch of guests.

The defense army commander Rhizoma Drynariae from last night and the other four commanders.

At this point, the five of them had already changed into new Tier 3 equipment and looked vigorous and powerful.

“Reporting to my lord, all 2000 soldiers of the city’s defense army have chosen to be loyal to you without exception!”

As soon as they entered, the five, led by Rhizoma Drynariae, immediately kneeled down. The crisp sound of metal collision, due to their armor, reached Leo Ray’s ears.

“Very good.”

Leaving his throne once more, Leo Ray walked straight to the commanders and patted each of their shoulders, saying, “While I’m gone, the defense of the city will be entrusted to you. If there’s anything, discuss it with Linda and Mason Banks.”

At this point, looking at the four defense army captains who were at the Tier 2

Peak Level, Leo Ray hinted meaningfully, “All of you do your best. If you

perform well, advancing to Tier 3 might be just around the corner.”

“Yes, sir!” The four commanders were stunned for a moment, then understood the meaning of Leo Ray’s words and couldn’t help showing their overjoyed faces. They once again bowed deeply to Leo Ray and didn’t get up for a long time.

“Rhizoma Drynariae, especially you, my expectations of you are the highest. Understand?” Leo Ray nodded slightly, then turned to face the middle-aged defense army commander with a determined expression.

“Rest assured, my lord, we will do our utmost!” Hearing Leo Ray’s words, Rhizoma Drynariae’s face lit up, and he replied in unison with the other four commanders.

Afterward, with Linda and Mason Banks’ participation, Leo Ray and the five commanders discussed and formulated some training and military regulations. It wasn’t until the sun had risen high in the sky that the commanders finally bowed and took their leave.

“Linda, Mr. Banks, since things here have settled down for the time being, I will take the others back to the territory first.” Rubbing his temples, Leo Ray turned to face the young female knight and the elderly warrior, “Once things here stabilize, I will personally take you both to the territory for a tour. I believe you will be pleasantly surprised.”

“Don’t worry, my lord.”

Hearing this, Linda’s pretty face showed a slightly disappointed expression, but she placed her hand on her chest and performed a salute, “We’ll take care of things here.”

“If there’s anything, contact me immediately through mind talk, and I’ll be there as soon as possible.”

Leo Ray nodded slightly, and as Linda and Mason Banks, along with the maids, watched, he left the City Lord’s Mansion with Taylor and the other five subordinates.

After that, since the 24-hour cooldown period for using the Returning Crystal hadn’t ended yet, Leo Ray rode Taylor non-stop back to the territory in the forest.

Upon landing at the small western gate, Leo Ray noticed that the first trench in the three buffer zones had been completely excavated under the efforts of

Gavin Sullivan and eighty others, as well as a hundred half-elves, including Belinda Wright.

Some areas on both sides of the gate had even been fitted with abatis as the second buffer zone. These sturdy wooden spike-like barriers would undoubtedly slow down and weaken enemy attacks, further enhancing the territory’s security.

After inspecting the progress of the remaining subordinates, Leo Ray hurried back to his Lord’s Mansion.

Next, it was time for the long-awaited rewards from conquering the first city the night before!

Soon, the prompt sounded in his ears.
