Chapter 794: Chapter 518: Dark Clouds Over the Forest and Treasure Reacting_2
This ti, the one who sent the ssage was another male Lord, Patrick Pain.
“That’s right, at that ti in the Pine Sound Range, he represented the Lords of hermits, along with Quinn Serena, Gabriel Jordan, and Myla, and explored the Ancient Ship in the underground cave with . I almost forgot about him.”
Thinking of this, Leo Ray imdiately opened the details of the private ssage.
“Master Leo, it’s not good! The large area where Captain Quinn and the others are located is shrouded in extrely thick black fog, with lightning and thunder inside.
At first, I thought it was just going to rain, but the dark clouds sank faster and faster, and in the end, they almost covered the entire ground, making it look extrely terrifying! What is strange is that the sky above is clear.”
After reading this private ssage, a contemplative look appeared on Leo Ray’s face once again.
“I rember when going to the Ancient Battlefield Relics Mirage, I only saw a dense white mist, and there was no lightning and thunder. It seems that a naturally ford mirage can be completely ruled out.”
Staring at the text in the private ssage, Leo Ray nodded thoughtfully.
“As for the man-made illusion realm, it cannot be ruled out for now. After all, from what I know, an Illusionist’s usual thod is to create so unusual natural sceneries outside the illusion realm to confuse people other than the target.”
Just as Leo Ray was thinking about this, the second ssage from Patrick Pain ca again.
“By the way, Master Leo, I heard in the Chat Channel that several passive treasure-seeking Lords around the black fog-covered area have their talents unanimously pointing towards the black fog. It seems that a trace of treasure suddenly appeared there!
This is just too strange! You should know that when there was no black fog, there was no reaction to any treasure in that area!”
“There is actually such a thing?”
Seeing this, a look of astonishnt appeared on Leo Ray’s face.
He had also heard about passive treasure-seeking talents.
Unlike the active treasure-seeking talents possessed by Solomon Rue and Myla,
Lords who have awakened passive treasure-seeking talents will only receive feedback when they are near the area where the treasure is located and cannot actively search for it.
Moreover, like most active treasure-seeking talents, they can only receive feedback once a day.
However, because the perception range of passive treasure-seeking talents is much broader than that of active ones, the sensed position is only a rough and broad area.
This makes their practicality far inferior to active talents.
Of course, so clever Lords have thought of excellent ways.
That is to first let the passive-talent Lords sense the general range of the treasure,
and then let the active-talent Lords further narrow down the range of the treasure’s location to achieve the goal of cooperation and win-win.
Unfortunately, Leo Ray had once instructed Lincoln Wilde, Solomon and Sylvia, and Quinn Serena to pay attention to the clues about treasure hunting in the Chat Channel.
In the end, the feedback they received was all about what these Lords had found through hardships.
If it wasn’t for a corpse of an adventurer only equipped with low-level weapons and armor, it was so buried ordinary gold coins, jewels, and tal utensils with only collector’s value from ancient tis.
These items are undoubtedly a significant wealth for ordinary Lords and can be exchanged for the Gold Dragons and items they need in the surrounding cities.
However, for Leo Ray, who has already achieved financial freedom and is even rich enough to rival a country, they have no value and are not worth wasting ti on.
“Anyway, speaking of which, it is a strange thing that a region that originally had no reaction suddenly showed a reaction to treasure after the appearance of that mysterious black fog.”
“After all, as far as I know, the treasures discovered by these Lords with treasure-seeking talents are all unowned items that have not been touched for a long ti and would never treat the equipnt of living people as treasures.”
Just as Leo Ray was thinking about this,
He successively received private ssages from Solomon and Sylvia in the Old Mine District of Golin City, Wesley Peterson on the mountain next to Dragon’s Lair, and Penelope Welbourn, all of which ntioned the situation that Patrick Pain had just ntioned.
“It seems that this matter has been spread throughout the Lord Circle in the surrounding area. From this, the authenticity of this matter should be beyond doubt.”
With a slight nod, Leo Ray continued to ponder.”So, the question arises, how did a treasure suddenly appear in an area where there was originally no treasure at all?”
After a brief pondering, Leo Ray asked Patrick Pain about the specific situation of his territory.
The response was that although Patrick’s territory was also in the vast Pine Sound Range.
It was still so distance away from the area covered by the black fog, so it was not affected.
The air in the woods, which was originally fresh, suddenly beca much thinner, as if they had arrived in an extrely high altitude area.
Carefully reading every word sent by Patrick Pain, Leo Ray pondered it over.
At the sa ti, he contacted Kelsey from Viennas City, Adams from Mystara City, and Tran from Firsdale City using mind talk, asking if anything unusual had happened there.
The answer was that no abnormalities had been found, and the weather had not changed.
No wonder, the Pine Sound Range was vast and surrounded by scattered rugged peaks, making it difficult to see what was happening inside the mountains.
Likewise, the complex terrain made it hard to detect the anomaly that suddenly appeared in the mountains from the energy flow.
“It seems that the problem only occurs in that relatively wide area where Quinn Serena and the others are, and the affected area is limited, so only the nearby lords can detect it at the first ti.”
Thinking of this, Leo Ray’s face showed a curious and puzzled expression.
From Myla’s private ssage, it could be analyzed that.
Inside the range covered by the black fog, it was a scene of inky night with fish in the sky, making people feel inexplicable.
Moreover, Quinn Serena, Gabriel Jordan, and Myla had not sent any ssages since then.
But in their friend list, their nas were flashing green, indicating a survival state.
From this, it can be seen that the three of them must have fallen unconscious.
Outside the black fog, Patrick Pain and the other nearby lords saw the bizarre scene of black thunderclouds descending rapidly with clear skies above, and felt the surrounding air suddenly beca extrely thin.
The key was that the area, which originally had no treasure reaction, suddenly showed a treasure reaction after the black clouds pressed the forest.
“The sudden appearance of treasure reactions undoubtedly refutes the idea that soone released an illusion, after all, illusionists cannot possibly create a fake environnt to create real treasures.”
At this point, Leo Ray’s curiosity on his face beca even more intense.
He continued to ponder in his heart: “The truth behind everything is becoming more and more interesting, what exactly is the truth? And what is the treasure that suddenly appeared?”
“In addition, as the captain of the Lane No.9 Club, Quinn Serena is the key to my experint of gathering the power of other lords together, and I cannot let her die easily.”
“Plus, according to the scheduled plan, I was originally going to pass through Viennas City from Pine Sound Range, so it seems I have to go there anyway.”
“However, before that, I naturally need to consult my subordinates’ opinions and find out as much as possible about what the black fog is.”
Making up his mind, Leo Ray stepped out and left the Lord’s Office.
At the sa ti, he inford all the subordinates who had just co to the Lord’s Office through mind talk to gather in the castle hall on the first floor.
Thus, within a short ti.
Leo Ray was already seated on the throne at the head of the first floor hall.
Beneath him stood two rows of subordinates, all exuding an extraordinary aura.
“Everyone, the situation is urgent and strange, so I’ll be brief.”
Nodding slightly to the powerful lords, commanders under him.
Leo Ray briefly described what he had just experienced and thought.
Hearing this, the subordinates looked at each other and couldn’t help but show a thoughtful expression.
