Chapter 783: Chapter 512: The Lord, Princess, and the Great Catastrophe_2
Looking directly into Ariel Watson’s starry eyes, Leo Ray solemnly said, “Not only you native inhabitants and the myriad races of the continent will be affected, but also we otherworldly lords who have traversed here.”
“Is that true?!”
After hearing Leo Ray’s words, a look of astonishment appeared on Ariel Watson’s face, and she exclaimed incredulously, “Are you trying to fool me? How is that even possible?!”
“It’s a normal reaction, I suppose. Most people would probably not believe it either, just like you,” replied Leo Ray, slightly raising his eyebrows. “About this matter, I first heard two prophecies in succession and then encountered a madman in Viennas City. All these coincidentally pointed to the same thing.”
Without further explanation, what Leo Ray meant
was naturally Daisy Sasha’s prophecy of the elder in the Magic Tower, the prophecy of Penelope Welbourn’s subordinate Aurora, and Old Nick, the wandering poet who had gone mad in Viennas City.
“Even so, I still have not fully confirmed this matter. I just feel that it may have some hidden connection with us, the lords who have mysteriously arrived here,” said Leo Ray, nodding to Ariel Watson before continuing with his shocking statement. “You may not know the exact number of otherworldly lords who have arrived in this world. Let me tell you, it is a staggering one billion.”
“One billion?!”
Upon hearing this vast number, not only Ariel Watson, but even the subordinates beside Leo Ray were all wearing expressions of shock and disbelief.
Without a doubt, this was the first time that the Lord had mentioned this specific number.
However, after being stunned for a moment, those present gradually regained their composure.
According to their acquired knowledge, this world was boundless, formed by countless continental plates combined together.
If the one billion otherworldly lords were distributed over each continent, then it could be explained reasonably.
“I think what you are all thinking now is that it’s only natural for this world to be so vast and immeasurable, consisting of countless continents. Isn’t it?” said Leo Ray with a slight smile.
“But for me, a visitor from another world, it is an incredibly illogical phenomenon. What I find most incredible is why every continent is independent and cannot be connected to each other, yet they have astonishing similarities in their currency system, power structure, customs, social hierarchy, and even in their legends and stories.”
“The knowledge about the existence of countless other continents outside of this one has been handed down by our ancestors. It is said to be a revelation from God, and the Temple of Light spread throughout the human countries also supports this theory,” Ariel Watson mentioned thoughtfully with furrowed brows.
“Originally, I was somewhat skeptical about this, but if you say that there are indeed one billion lords, then this would be the only explanation,” she added.
Just then, Ariel Watson seemed to remember something and continued, “In addition, not long after you otherworldly lords suddenly descended, when I was still in the Royal Capital, I heard that a few low-ranking warriors and farmers in remote areas have been summoned to other continents after signing some sort of contract…”
Hearing this, Leo Ray nodded slightly.
If the vast majority of his subordinates were summoned from other continents, then it would indeed make sense for the powerful inhabitants of this continent to be summoned by other lords as well.
On the other side, besides Red Night, Joshua, Burt, Linda, Abigail, Amelia, and Bianca White,
Taylor, Gideon Black, Scarlett, Serena Clark, and Stella Clark all revealed looks of agreement.
They themselves had accepted the master-servant contract with unlimited potential for various reasons and were summoned from their original continents, so they were well aware of this.
At this moment, their gazes turned to the Leo Ray up ahead, all wearing expressions of admiration.
It had to be said that being able to accept the summons and come here, and then serve under the Lord, was undoubtedly the best decision they had made in their lives.”It’s precisely because I am a visitor from another world in this strange land, and there are many things that I find difficult to understand, that I have always been concerned about the Great Catastrophe instead of choosing to ignore it.”
With a helpless smile, Leo Ray continued, “After all, the fact that I inexplicably appeared here from my original world is already an unbelievable event. What else could be impossible?”
“Thou speakest wisely.”
As if deep in thought, Ariel Watson nodded and said, “If I were to discuss the Great Catastrophe with a nobleman or even a commoner, no one would easily believe it except being regarded as a madman, including my three royal brothers.”
“However, no matter how unbelievable these events may be, I will eventually uncover the truth behind them all.”
Raising his eyebrows slightly, Leo Ray added, “Speaking of which, even Her Highness the Fifth Princess, doesn’t fully believe in the Great Catastrophe, does she?”
“No, I have absolute faith in you.”
Ariel Watson shook her head and smiled helplessly, “Otherwise, I really can’t find any other reason why you would help me. You’re looking for a reliable native ally to fight against the crisis of the Great Catastrophe together, right?”
“That’s roughly the idea.”
On the other side, Leo Ray shrugged his shoulders.
What he wanted to do was not just to turn Ariel Watson into an ally.
Then, Leo Ray nodded at Ariel Watson and continued, “Although I have heard the terrifying words ‘Great Catastrophe’ many times before, it was not until the moment I met the ancestor of Dragon’s Lair that I truly realized the complexity of the matter.”
“Thou meanest the conversation with my ancestorial Hero King who came from another world?”
Upon hearing this, Ariel Watson’s eyes lit up, and she hurriedly asked.
“Indeed, Your Highness, haven’t you always wanted to know what your ancestor said to me in the resting place of the ancestors? Allow me to satisfy your curiosity.”
With a slight smile, Leo Ray recounted the details of his conversation with King West to Ariel Watson.
In doing so, he temporarily omitted the facts that King West was also a traveler from another world and possessed a Talent for hinting at things.
This was to prevent Ariel Watson from being overwhelmed and having her mind short-circuited, which would be counterproductive to the task of winning her over.
“So, it turns out that my ancestorial Hero King had also foreseen the Great Catastrophe, and considered you as the key to solving the problem. Most importantly, the Great Catastrophe is merely the prelude to a series of unknown and terrifying events, and my ancestor also mentioned the elusive God…”
After listening to Leo Ray’s description, Ariel Watson was stunned for a moment before regaining her senses.
“That’s more or less it.”
With a slight smile, Leo Ray continued, “However, at present, our main concern is the Great Catastrophe, and whether I can truly solve it remains an unknown. It’s merely a possibility.”
Waving his hand gently at Ariel Watson to signal that she need not worry, Leo Ray helplessly laughed, “After all, at this point, I still haven’t figured out exactly what the Great Catastrophe is.”
At this point, Leo Ray’s expression grew solemn, “Therefore, I must seize every opportunity to develop as quickly as possible, in order to have a chance to face the imminent Great Catastrophe. Defeating Coldflame is just my first step.”
“I understand, I understand it all.”
Ariel Watson took a deep breath and exclaimed to Leo Ray, “I didn’t expect your thoughts to extend far beyond the scope of a single country…”
After she finished speaking, Ariel Watson couldn’t help but throw a complex glance mixed with surprise and awe at Leo Ray.
“Alright, Your Highness the Fifth Princess, let’s get back to the main topic.”
With a light smile at Ariel Watson, Leo Ray leisurely said, “If you want to gain my full support, there’s just one simple condition.”
