Chapter 1797: Chapter 1022: Lord and the Moon Chaser Clan_2 Chapter 1797: Chapter 1022: Lord and the Moon Chaser Clan_2 Ariel Watson quickly changed her attire and displayed the three symbols of royal authority: the Queenâs crown, the scepter, and the Hero Kingâs sword.
It is worth mentioning that the ring on Leo Rayâs hand is the Sacred Lion Prince Ring. Although it is not a piece of equipment, it represents a supreme status, and throughout the entire Coldflame Kingdom, thereâs only one.
Actually, Ariel Watson also gave Leo Ray a crown exclusively for the Sacred Lion Prince, which looked extremely luxurious. However, Leo Ray felt it was too eye-catching and heavy, and thus, did not wear it.
âIndeed, the symbols of royal authority and the Princeâs ring!â
Qiana looked at the recently arrived Ariel Watson and Leo Ray, her starry eyes trembling slightly.
These supreme symbols of royal power were once the goals she and the Moon Chaser Clan had fought and defended. She never expected to see them again on such occasion, and in such a manner.
Apart from Qiana, some of the older Half-elf soldiers in the squadron behind her also seemed lost in nostalgia, as if seeing again the homeland of the Coldflame Kingdom and the times when they no longer had to wander.
âAunt, actually, just this morning was Her Majesty the Queenâs coronation ceremony! It was also the investiture ceremony of His Royal Highness the Prince!â
Mia, holding Qianaâs arm, added, âWe came directly from the Royal Capital!â
âWhat? Her Majesty the Queen and His Royal Highness the Prince came directly after the coronation ceremony?â
Hearing Miaâs words, not only Qiana herself, but even the old Half-elf soldiers behind her were deeply moved, looking utterly astonished.
Back when they left the Coldflame Kingdom, aside from the Royal Army Corps clad in iron armor surrounding them under the guise of an escort, none of the high-level officials of the Coldflame Kingdom had shown themselves.
Yet today, when they were trapped and utterly depleted of resources, the newly crowned Queen and the Prince themselves personally led people to rescue them. What a huge difference from before!
However, remembering the solitude and sadness at the time of their departure, the Half-elves tightened their faces again, trying hard not to show any signs of emotion.
Regardless, the Coldflame Kingdom had unreasonably expelled them from their former homeland, a place where the people of the Moon Chasing Tribe had once shed their blood and sacrificed their lives. Their pride wouldnât allow them to bow their heads easily.
Leo Ray, who keenly noticed the emotional change among the Half-elves, gave a slight nod.
Knowing the history, Leo Ray naturally understood that the Half-elves wouldnât easily get over their past heartaches.
âChief Qiana, now is not the time for chat. We should think of a way to return to the real space first.â
Leo Ray nodded towards the breezy female Half-elf standing in front of him, then turned to the blue-robed elder and asked, âElder, can âIce Stone Cityâ still return to the real space?â
âThe elder has felt just now, âIce Stone Cityâ had entered here because the living Half-elves in the city accidentally activated the last trace of energy in the cityâs central system, which automatically switched the abandoned city into a defensive state, causing an automatic shift.â
The blue-robed elder nodded slightly, speaking, âHowever, after the shift, the energy was completely depleted, making it impossible for âIce Stone Cityâ to return to the real space.â
âElder, is there a way to restart or replenish the energy of the cityâs central system?â
Leo Ray asked immediately.
Leo Ray clearly understood, although âIce Stone Cityâ is used for cultivation, functionally, itâs almost identical to âCrystal Blue City.â
If he could find a way to repair it and make âIce Stone Cityâ also useful for our side, it would naturally be a significant help.
Even if it couldnât be used for our side, he could at least owe the blue-robed elder a favor, after all, the elder is equivalent to a City Lord of this Land of Divine Favor, having considerable personal strength and not seeming to fade away soon.
âThere is a way, but it would require Your Excellencyâs help.â
For the first time, the blue-robed elder addressed Leo Ray formally, nodding his head, âOnly by infusing the Power of Divine Grace into the cityâs central system and with the elderâs coordination can it be reactivated, for the elder was once the decision-maker here and naturally knows the city like the back of his hand.â
After speaking, the blue-robed elder sighed lightly; if his true body were still here, repairing this city would be as simple as turning his hand.
But now, as merely a remnant energy body, besides his intrinsic energy, he couldnât utilize the Power of Divine Grace, naturally making repair impossible.
In other words, only Leo Ray, who can wield the Power of Divine Grace, is the key to restoring the cityâs core.
âDoes this mean we can successfully return to real space now?â
Although Qiana only half-understood the conversation between Leo Ray and the Blue-robed Elder, she quickly grasped the situation, her starry eyes lighting up.
At the same time, this efficient female clan leader of the Moon Chaser Clan quickly figured out the identity of the Blue-robed Elder, who seemed to be the real master of the city.
Even though Qiana didnât know why Leo Ray was acquainted with this elder, she still managed an awkward smile and said to the deep, inscrutable Blue-robed Elder in front of her, âMy apologies, Elder, for intruding into your territory without permission.â
âIt doesnât matter, since you all are kinsmen of this Excellency, I naturally wonât blame you.â
The Blue-robed Elder also gave Leo Ray enough face, gently stroking his blue beard.
âHe considers us as kinsmen?â
Upon hearing the words of the Blue-robed Elder, Qiana paused momentarily before regaining her composure.
She signaled to the clan members blocking the city gate to make way and quickly spoke, âPlease walk this way.â
Under Qianaâs guidance, the group quickly passed through the mottled gates of Ice Stone City and arrived inside the city.
The city, just as it appeared from the outside, was covered in vines and moss everywhere; the nature-loving Half-elves did not clear them away, but rather moved in directly.
Along the spacious streets, crowds of Half-elf civilians had already gathered.
Whether young people, children, or the elderly, all of them looked towards Leo Ray and Ariel Watson at the front.
However, while the young people and children showed awe or curiosity, the old faces of the elders displayed a complex, indescribable expression, much like Qiana and those Half-elves at the door.
It seemed that the special status of Leo Ray and Ariel Watson had indeed reached the ears of every Half-elf.
Soon, under the guidance of the Blue-robed Elder, the group stopped in front of a collapsed building in the central area of the city.
Judging from the outline of the ruins, this collapsed building had an extremely large footprint, very similar to several other damaged Chasing Light Castles within Crystal Blue City.
âHave all the Miracle Buildings of âIce Stone Cityâ been completely destroyed?â
The Blue-robed Elder sighed helplessly, then waved his hand casually, and the boulders blocking the way in front automatically moved aside as if manipulated by an invisible giant hand, making a thunderous noise.
âEnergy taking form, moving all things, indeed he is a Tier 6 Expert!â
Qianaâs starry eyes sparkled, and she couldnât help but exclaim in amazement.
Behind her followed more than a dozen mighty Old Half-elves, who Leo Ray and Ariel Watson had already greeted, none other than the elders of the Moon Chaser Clan.
This scene also left those elders equally astonished.
After all, even within their Moon Chaser Clan, there was only one Tier 5 Powerhouse like Qiana, let alone the unattainable Tier 6 Experts.
Most importantly, even a Tier 6 Expert, prestigious enough to look down upon the royal families of various Human Countries, was extremely courteous to that young Holy Lion Prince and even required the help of that young prince.
With this thought in their minds, pairs of respectful, aged eyes once again focused on Leo Rayâs back.
âYour Excellency, let us enter; below here lies the cityâs core.â
The Blue-robed Elder pointed to a section of stairs revealed beneath, nodding to Leo Ray.
