Chapter 2100: Chapter 1175: Lord and the Old King

The abrupt and excited old voice had just finished speaking when a robust figure, at some indistinct point, had already stood beside the wolf-shaped fountain, spreading out his arms.

The old voice immediately sounded again: “My son, come over quickly, let your Father King take a good look at you.”

In disbelief, Leo Ray held the sword horizontally in front of his chest, focusing his mind as he gazed toward the owner of the old voice.

He saw the other person dressed in a simplistic silver armor, draped in a red velvet robe, with a face glowing with kindness and gentleness despite the old age.

Most strikingly, on top of his head was a golden crown engraved with the emblem of a wolf’s head, shining with brilliant radiance.

Along with the prior sightings of the group, it was not hard to deduce that this sudden appearance of an old king was indeed the owner of this Ancient Castle of Darkness, you could even say the master of the entire lost ancient kingdom.

“Protect the Lord!”

There was no time for Taylor and three Tier 5 subordinates near the fountain to think further; they immediately surrounded the other, while Louise and the four Stone Spirits followed closely, forming a second circle of defense.

Jasper Richardson, guarding beside Leo Ray, didn’t need to be told, while Catherine and White, along with the Grim leaders, instinctively ringed around Leo Ray.

“The other party hasn’t shown any killing intent, let’s observe the situation.”

Leo Ray observed for a while, nodded to everyone first, then raised his voice to inquire of the other party: “Old gentleman, did you claim there are your offspring here?”

“My son Allen, what is the meaning of this?”

The suddenly appearing old king apparently sensed the peculiarity, looking at Leo Ray with a face full of confusion: “I am the Father King, did you forget me after just one trip to the sea?”

Seeing this, everyone then fully reacted; it seemed the old man was mistaking Leo Ray for his offspring.

For a moment, amidst astonishment and confusion, everyone furrowed their brows, while Leo Ray himself was bemused.

Good grief, since when did I acquire a king for a father?

Although this might be the dream of many civilians and even nobility, given his current status, merely having the identity of a prince bore no considerable allure.

“Old gentleman, please mind your words!”

Even seeing the crown on the other’s forehead, White still thought this was an opportunity to show loyalty to Leo Ray, immediately introducing righteously: “The big figure standing before you is none other than His Royal Highness the Holy Lion of Coldflame Kingdom, not your offspring…”

Before White could finish his words, Leo Ray stepped forward, gently patted the former’s shoulder, signaling him not to be too agitated.

Regardless, this person might very well be our hope of getting out of here.

Although he appears to not be in his right mind, becoming friends would certainly be far better than becoming enemies if communication could be normal.

“Old gentleman, please take a closer look.”

Patience etched on Leo Ray’s face, he smiled, “Although I can see your eagerness to meet him, I’m sorry, but I’m not the one you’re looking for.”

“Your body emanates the energy waves of the Thunder attribute and the Power of Divine Grace, not only are you a Magic and Martial Dual Cultivation Chosen Son of God, you’re even carrying Rolanddel, I would never mistake that!”

The old king’s face, full of wrinkles, appeared resolute, saying eagerly: “How could you not be Allen?”

“The other party even knows about the sword in my hand?”

After listening to the old king’s words, Leo Ray was startled for a moment, then instinctively opened Rolanddel’s attribute column.

[Name: Rolanddel]

[Grade: Tier 5 • Extraordinary (Silver)]

[Attack Strength: Five Stars]

[Additional Effect One: Indestructible Blade “This sword cannot be damaged under any circumstance”]

[Additional Effect Two: Angel’s Blade “Increases damage against dark attribute enemies by 100%”]

[Note: In the Sun Era, one of the Three Sacred Artifacts of a lost empire, also known as the Eternal Sword. After the original owner’s demise, this sword was thrown into a certain lake.

During the Silver Moon Era, the founder of the Silver Fire Kingdom, the first Silver Fire King, found it again, eventually gathering the Three Sacred Artifacts, becoming the Royal Family symbol of the Silver Fire Kingdom.

Until before the Silver Fire Kingdom’s destruction, the sword was carried by the young Prince Griffin Allen Prince.]

“The note indeed updated, looks like what the other said is true.”

Leo Ray gazed at the text in the attribute column, nodded thoughtfully.

With this, the matter became very clear.

The old kingdom must indeed be the last Silver Fire King, and the “my son” in his mouth surely refers to Prince Griffin Allen.

“This Rolanddel was not found in the ruins, but upgraded from a Tier 4 Longsword, I never thought there would be such a coincidence.”

“Right, remember that the Dragon Slash Sword given to Taylor initially was the same.”

“From my continuous observation, I’ve further discovered that although the same equipment largely remains the same post-massive transformation, in many aspects similar to pre-upgrade, a small portion will demonstrate entirely different conditions, with obvious changes in appearance, texture, color.”

“From this, it can be inferred that my Golden Finger Talent does not create out of thin air in defiance of the mana conservation law, but rather uses some rule for ‘substitution,’ or plainly restores the equipment to its peak state.”
