Chapter 1777: Chapter 1012 Shadow Market_2 Chapter 1777: Chapter 1012 Shadow Market_2 As the solemnity on Leo Ray’s face grew increasingly evident, Ariel Watson slowly opened her starry eyes, and Little Illusion also reappeared, obviously having finished eting with the Old King.
Looking at Ariel’s delicate cheeks, the tension on Leo Ray’s face relaxed slightly, and he nodded gently to her.
It was then when Bryan Nelsen, who had been investigating outside, re-entered the bedroom and ca straight to Leo Ray and said, “Mr. Lane, I have inquired clearly, the maids and guards present also slled sothing similar to that of Coldfla Linglan.”
“However, since there were at least a thousand Coldfla Linglans in the dining room, no one paid attention to it. After my reminder, people realized that the Coldfla Linglans were not blooming at the ti.”
After Bryan Nelsen finished speaking, Leo Ray did not hesitate to convey the information just shared by Gals to Bryan Nelsen and Ariel Watson.
“So, is the reason for Father King’s serious illness due to the Sweet King Flower, which is now extinct?”
After hearing Leo Ray’s words, Ariel’s starry eyes brightened, and then she clenched her fists and furrowed her brows, “The Black Abyss Brotherhood is really cunning, to use an extinct magical plant to poison Father King!”
Using an extinct plant indeed maximizes the chances of success, as thirty thousand years are enough to erase everything, making it impossible for ordinary people to find any clues in the details.”
Bryan Nelsen nodded solemnly, his elderly voice filled with gravity. But then, a touch of confusion appeared in his voice, “However, this raises two problems.”
“First, as Mr. Lane previously ntioned, why was the Old King the only one affected among so many people present?”
“Second, given how enormous the Sweet King Flower is, even if it could disguise itself, how did it blend in with the shorter Coldfla Linglans?”
Hearing Bryan Nelsen’s questions, everyone present began to frown and ponder.
“Mr. Nelsen, although the first question is indeed puzzling, the second question is not difficult to explain.”
Gals took a step forward and nodded, “According to the Ancient Books, although mature Sweet King Flowers are massive, the seedlings are indistinguishable from common flowers to avoid predators. Plus, with their camouflage ability, they are hard to detect or identify.”
“In that case, the culprit must have mixed the juvenile Sweet King Flowers in with regular Coldfla Linglans.”
Ariel nodded thoughtfully, murmuring, “Then everything does indeed make perfect sense.”
“Princess, you are right. Moreover, although the juvenile Sweet King Flower’s toxicity is still rampant, its poison is weaker.”
Gals, stroking his silver beard, continued, “This also explains why the Old King didn’t collapse imdiately but showed signs of poisoning after so ti.”
“Thank you, Ice Demon Senior, for the explanation. Now, the only remaining issue is why only Father King himself was poisoned.”
Ariel’s furrowed brows relaxed a bit as she thanked the old Alchemist.
“You’re too kind, Princess. Regarding this matter, I am also very puzzled because, according to Ancient Books, the scent of the Sweet King Flower attacks indiscriminately. It should not have caused such a situation.”
Gals shook his head helplessly and continued, “However, this is after all an extinct magical plant; perhaps there are so unknown properties to it.”
“Ice Demon Senior is right, but no matter what, we finally found the root cause of the Old King’s severe illness!”
Upon Leo Ray’s words, excitent sparked among everyone present.
Undoubtedly, this ant that as long as they applied the right treatnt, there was a possibility of curing the Old King!
However, despite the excitent in their hearts, a grave expression surfaced on everyone’s faces.
This was, after all, an extinct magical plant; even if the root cause was found, it would likely be difficult to obtain an antidote for the poison of an extinct magical plant.
“Ice Demon Senior, do you have a thod to detoxify?”
Leo Ray quickly realized this problem and inquired from the old Alchemist.
“My Lord, rember when I said earlier that I had collected many samples of the Sweet King Flower back then? This includes the poison sac of the Sweet King Flower.”
Gals gave a confident smile and, bowing his chest to Leo Ray, said, “As a subordinate deeply versed in the research of poison cures, and with these samples, I believe we will soon concoct the corresponding antidote. Even if we cannot imdiately cure Old King, we should at least be able to suppress the illness from worsening!”
With Gals’ words concluded, everyone was once again uplifted with excitent.
Especially Ariel Watson, who embraced Leo Ray’s arm tightly, almost crying with joy.
Undoubtedly, this ant that, after Lord’s actions, her Father King finally had hope for a cure!
“Gals, Senior, then I entrust it all to you.”
Leo Ray nodded slightly to the Old Alchemist, then said to the people, “To prevent the Mysterious Organization from making another move, everything must be carried out in secret.”
“Mr. Lane is correct. According to the Black Abyss Brotherhood’s modus operandi, the Sweet King Flower sapling must have been secretly disposed of, but just in case, I will secretly investigate all Cold Fla Linglan in the court and specifically trace the sources and whereabouts of all Cold Fla Lily in the Second VIP Restaurant of the Lion Castle, to see if we can find additional clues.”
Bryan Nelsen nodded to Leo Ray, then couldn’t help but express gratitude again: “I am truly grateful to you, Mr. Lane, for this ti.”
“Mr. Nelsen, you are too kind. Now that the situation is looking optimistic, let’s wait for good news.”
Leo Ray first restored the bedroom to its original state, then waved his hand indicating his subordinates to leave together.
As night had fallen, and through the ticulous arrangents of Bryan Nelsen, Leo Ray and his party simply decided to stay inside the Sleeping Dragon Castle.
Although this was the exclusive castle of Ice Demon, a place ordinary nobility had no right to even set foot in, for Leo Ray, this was obviously no different from his own ho.
As for the other main force subordinates and elite Middle Team, they were arranged to stay in Princess Aili’er’s Castle and the Imperial Guard Legion’s station.
“Mr. Lane, your Highness Princess, the Coronation Ceremony will be tomorrow, please rest well.”
In front of an extrely luxurious bedroom door, Bryan Nelsen nodded to Leo Ray and Ariel Watson, then left on his own.
Having closed the bedroom door, after a day’s triumphal ceremony, Leo Ray and Ariel Watson, already feeling tired, took a bath together and then lay down on the comfortable and soft big bed.
Because they were sowhat refreshed after bathing, the two did not fall asleep imdiately but started chatting.
Especially after ntioning tomorrow’s Coronation Ceremony, Ariel Watson was so excited she couldn’t fall asleep at all, tossing and turning in bed.
And Leo Ray, naturally with a helpless look, continued to chat with the girl.
“Lord, earlier I also inquired about the Lion King Temple from Father King!”
Ariel Watson’s starry eyes brightened, turning to face Leo Ray, and said, “Although Father King still smiled and remained silent, not telling about the core functions of the Lion King Temple, he did say that it has a function that is enough to deter the Six Countries and greatly enhance both the morale and comprehensive combat power of the entire Kingdom!”
“Oh?”
Hearing Ariel Watson’s words, Leo Ray’s spirits were lifted too.
Knowing that the surrounding nations were restless and might launch an attack at any mont,
Leo Ray’s most pressing concern was how to increase combat power as soon as possible to deal with the looming crisis.
If the Lion King Temple truly could enhance the overall combat power of the entire Kingdom, it would undoubtedly be a trendous aid!
“But in the end, Lion King Temple is just a miraculous building within the court, what kind of magical functions does it conceal to achieve this?”
While Leo Ray was in deep thought,
Ariel Watson’s sowhat hesitant voice once again reached his ears: “Lord, Father King also said that, if possible, he would love to hold a grandson…”
