Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong-Chapter 854 - 548: The Broken Fountain_1
Chapter 854: Chapter 548: The Broken Fountain_1
“I remember it was just a month after the city had been besieged.”
Old Shane’s old eyes squinted slightly, and he began, “At that time, the panic and unease that pervaded the streets were still very intense, but fortunately, the city had ample reserves, so there was no need to worry about food. Moreover, with the protection of the Absolute Defense Barrier, everything in the city was still relatively stable.”
Nodding at Leo Ray, old Shane continued, “One night, when the curfew had just begun, and the sky was filled with stars, I was summoned by the royal messenger to the Royal Castle.”
“There, I learned a secret: in case of emergencies, the Royal Family decided to move their most precious treasures to the center of the city, under a newly-built square. I served as the captain of a guard team assisting them in this task.”
“Move it to the City Center Square? That’s quite an unexpected decision.”
Hearing this, a look of surprise appeared on Leo Ray’s face.
...
“Yes, the most dangerous place is the safest place. Looking back now, the decision made by the Royal Family was indeed correct, but unfortunately, the Loren Kingdom still couldn’t escape its tragic fate.”
With a light sigh, a touch of melancholy surfaced on old Shane’s aged face.
Then, he regained his spirits and continued, “As the treasures were all transported by members of the Royal Family with the help of large-capacity storage rings, the guard team I led was disguised as an ordinary night patrol, so things went smoothly without any accidents.”
Pausing for a moment, old Shane added, “Furthermore, the perimeter of the square was secretly reinforced with multiple layers of defenses, making the treasures easily transferred in batches to their new hiding place underground at the City Center Square.”
“Excuse me, sir, where exactly is this place?”
Upon hearing this, Leo Ray’s eyes lit up, and he immediately asked.
“It’s right under the Giant Steed Fountain in the City Center Square, about a kilometer from here, in the direction towards the mountain range.”
Old Shane nodded at Leo Ray and candidly answered.
“I see. No wonder their opponents at that time couldn’t find the real location of the hidden treasure. No one would have thought that the Loren Royal Family would hide their treasures beneath the bustling City Center Square.”
Leo Ray thoughtfully stroked his chin and nodded slightly.
“What Your Excellency said is correct.”
Old Shane smiled and added, “After everything was completed, we covered the original brickwork with insulating mineral layers that greatly weakened detection magic and added an excellent barrier.”
At this point, old Shane’s expression became somewhat odd, and he said awkwardly, “Your Excellency, even knowing the location of the treasure, obtaining it is not an easy task.”
“Oh? What do you mean?”

Leo Ray looked at old Shane with puzzlement.
“I was not trying to conceal the truth; after that, I was still tasked with leading a guard team to patrol this area every night.”
Noticing Leo Ray’s doubtful gaze, old Shane continued, “At first, I didn’t understand the reason for the Royal Family’s arrangement, but later I discovered.”
“It turned out that the Royal Family had secretly dispatched a respected court mage, leading all the top court mages, using eight extremely rare Magic Restriction Crystals as guides, to set up a special magic restriction.”
“Special magic restriction?”
Leo Ray frowned with curiosity.
“Yes, the key to this Tier 5 level magic restriction is the blood of the Loren Royal Family. No one else can unlock it.”
Old Shane nodded in response, “If someone tries to forcefully break it, it will activate the chained trap magic array inside the restriction, destroying all the treasures.”
“So that’s the case…”
Upon hearing this, Leo Ray murmured, “In that case, the best way to obtain these lost treasures is to find a descendant of the Loren Royal Family with their bloodline, right?”
“Your Excellency is correct, but it is unknown whether any members of the Royal Family survived when the Royal City fell. Moreover, a thousand years have passed, and finding a descendant of the Loren Royal Family is like searching for a needle in a haystack.”
Old Shane shook his head helplessly with a bitter smile, “So, Your Excellency, please don’t hold out too much hope.”
“Finding the needle in a haystack is certain, but what I can confirm is that the needle should be in the sea.”
Leo Ray slightly raised his eyebrows and grinned mysteriously at old Shane.
“What? Your Excellency, do you mean…the descendants of the Loren Royal Family still exist in this world?”
Upon hearing this, a look of astonishment appeared on old Shane’s face, and he asked incredulously, “How did you confirm this?”
“Well, it’s like this…”
With a light smile, Leo Ray recounted his accidental discovery of Mirage Shadow in the forest outside when he first arrived here to old Shane.
