From this, it cannot be ruled out that in other areas here, there are still a large number of Golem Puppet Guardians of the Winged Race in normal condition.
So, the current priority is to find Orion Wolfe and the others, and then proceed with the plan to repair this barrier.
As for the detailed exploration work here, it can be left to the last.â
âUnderstood! My Lord.â Hearing this, everyone, including Kara, regained their spirits.
Then, under Leo Rayâs command, they began to search for the teleportation magic array on this floating plaza.
At the same time, somewhere in the barrier area.
On a floating island in mid-air, it is covered with towering ancient trees and various glowing strange flowers and grasses.
At the center of the sky island, there is a vast green lake.
On the surface of this lake, there are also glowing spots, just like the starry sky at night, filled with various types of magical seaweed.
Under the sunlight, the lakeâs surface is shimmering everywhere, reflecting the rainbow-like colorful brilliance.
And in the center of the lake, there is a not-so-small island floating.
Above the island, a huge sky blue castle stands proudly.
This scene, along with the surrounding fantastically colored scenery, makes everything look quite like a fairytale world.
However, upon closer inspection.
The metal drawbridge at the entrance of the sky blue castle has been raised high by the black iron chains, and the heavy black metal sluice gate has dropped at the entrance.
On the towering walls of the castle, there are rows of elite soldiers holding sharp weapons neatly, and in the arrow towers on both sides, there are archers with longbows.
These soldiers all have an anxious and solemn expression, and the silver-white armor with the Mystara City emblem shines under the sunlight.
Moreover, it can be clearly seen.
The walls and the soldiersâ armor are covered with spots of undried blood, and the crenellations and some walls have many broken gaps.
In the air, there is also a lingering damp bloody smell, which obviously indicates that an intense battle had taken place here not long ago.
Inside the heavily guarded castle, it is even more chaotic.
Many wooden furniture and metal decorations in the rooms are scattered on the ground, and it looks like they have just experienced a violent earthquake and tremor.
In the main hall of the castle, a middle-aged man with grizzled temples sits on the throne at the top.
He has a gentle face, a carefully trimmed O-shaped beard, revealing a refined gentlemanâs aura, and is wearing a dark blue robe.
However, the most eye-catching is his well-trimmed hair with thick hair wax, looking meticulous.
Standing next to him is a young woman in airy golden attire with an exquisite face and short, distinctive hair, who is Orion Wolfe who has lost contact with Leo Ray.
Behind Orion Wolfe, there is a slender female figure.
She has braided hair, wears a black-and-white maidâs uniform, and has a capable temperament on her white cheeks. It is none other than Amelia, another powerful person on their side.
Standing at the lower end of the hall are three white-haired old men.
These three old men are all wearing light blue robes, looking strong and healthy, giving off a sense of strength in their old age.
Moreover, although all six people in the hall have an extraordinary aura.
Still, they have a solemn look on their faces as if facing a formidable enemy, making the air thick with a tense atmosphere.
âGrand Elder, how is the current situation in the castle?â The middle-aged man sitting at the top asked with a frown.
This middle-aged man is Orion Wolfeâs father, the current City Lord of Mystara City.
âReporting to the City Lord, the dozen or so tourists stranded in the castle have been settled in the first instance.
At present, they do not know exactly what happened, so there is no need to worry too much.â
The leading elder in a blue robe at the lower end slightly bowed and replied: âAs for other members of the families living in the castle, except for those with combat abilities.
They have been forbidden to leave their rooms, as well as servants and other staff.âTherefore, although everyone was extremely panicked and uneasy, there was no large-scale chaos within the castle.â
Looking at the respectful expression on the Grand Elderâs face, Orion Wolfe, who stood beside him, couldnât help but raise his eyebrows slightly.
It should be noted that this chief Grand Elder of the familyâs Elders Council was once a staunch opponent of Orionâs father and strongly opposed her learning alchemy.
He was constantly looking for opportunities to try to pull her father down from the position of Mystara City Lord.
However, when Orion returned home this time, she was surprised to find that.
This former archenemy not only came to greet her in person but also showed a never-before-seen smile on his old face, completely unlike his previous cold and vicious demeanor.
It was only after asking her father that Orion found out that some time ago, when the City Lord transported 2 million gold coins under her name, which was equivalent to more than a decadeâs total profit of the entire city, to Mystara City.
The attitude of the Grand Elderâs faction changed drastically in an instant.
From being a determined opponent, they almost immediately became her fatherâs loyal supporters.
At first, Orionâs victorious father, who had straightened his backbone, was naturally suspicious of this, thinking that it was just another scheme from the Grand Elderâs faction.
However, it didnât take long for the Grand Elderâs faction to voluntarily return all the power they previously held tightly in their hands to Orionâs father.
In particular, the commanding positions of the cityâs defense army and the cityâs finance officer, two extremely important positions.
Upon regaining total control of the entire Mystara City, Orionâs father then arranged a few spare positions for the Grand Elderâs faction.
At that time, after hearing about this, Orion was not only deeply shocked but also couldnât help but feel a great sense of admiration for the City Lord who remains unseen.
Through a series of expressions from the Grand Elderâs faction, it was clear that.
The reason why they changed so quickly was obviously not because of her City Lord father, but because of the City Lord who hadnât even shown his face!
On the other hand, while bowing respectfully, the old face of the Grand Elder also couldnât help but reveal a helpless expression.
If this inexplicable situation had happened in the past, they would have definitely scolded Orionâs father first.
However, the current situation is different from the past.
Behind Orion is a great figure who can easily produce 2 million gold coins!
A wise man knows the times and going against such a person with enormous power is simply courting death.
This was something they, who had lived hundreds of years collectively, understood better than anyone else.
Thatâs why they decided to hand over the power willingly.
Otherwise, if the other party attacked first, the consequences would undoubtedly be unpredictable.
Moreover, after returning this time, Orion and her personal maid Amelia both made sudden breakthroughs in their strength, reaching the unbelievable Tier 3 Peak Level.
Even if Orion had exceptional talent, it would be impossible for her to progress so quickly, let alone Amelia, whose talent was not even comparable to hers?
And it cannot be denied that this miracle of cultivation happened after Orion got hold of the 2 million gold coins.
To say that this has nothing to do with the great figure, they simply donât believe it.
It is clear that this great figure is far more terrifying than they had imagined.
In short, at the moment, while the Grand Elderâs heart is pounding with excitement.
In addition to being grateful that his decision to give up power was the most correct choice in his life, he certainly wonât have any other thoughts.
âVery well, order all the Imperial Guards and all the clan members above Tier 2 in the castle to be on high alert at all times.â
Immediately after, Orionâs father, the City Lord, gave another order with a solemn expression.
After finishing speaking, the middle-aged Mystara City Lord sighed heavily, then his eyes became misty as he recalled the events that had taken place initially.
