Upon closer inspection, this was a recreational square located in the city center.
On the vast square, many round flower beds and large lawns were neatly arranged, scattered with numerous city residents who came to relax and exercise.
Among them, many were families who came here, laughing and talking happily together.
What obviously didn’t fit in with these warm scenes were the mysterious figures that Leo Ray initially saw.
Although in the Mirage, due to various chaotic auras, it was impossible to perceive these people’s specific strengths.
However, after concentrating his mind and relying on the effects of the Wind
Eye Pill and Golden Pupil,
Leo Ray could still easily discern with the naked eye that there was an obvious difference between these figures and other illusions, without any blurry effect.
At this moment, these black-robed figures were standing by a fountain, all with their backs to Leo Ray and his party, making it impossible to see their faces clearly.
“Five people in total… Who are they? How did they end up here?”
Feeling puzzled, Leo Ray gestured to his subordinates beside him to continue advancing.New n0vel chapters are published on n0ve(l)bi(n.)co/m
Undoubtedly, judging from their bizarre attire, they definitely didn’t look like ordinary travelers or merchants who had accidentally entered the Mirage.
As a result, the best course of action at the moment was to find out the other party’s intentions and identities before making any other plans.
Under Leo Ray’s command,
his own group, who were in a state of invisibility, moved straight towards those figures.
As for whether they would be detected, Leo Ray wasn’t worried.
For one, the environment in the square was very noisy, which could completely cover up the slight footsteps of his party.
Secondly, even the highly perceptive Taylor hadn’t noticed Bianca White, who was hidden under the cloak earlier, proving the effectiveness of this invisibility.
“Can’t help but say, in some ways, this Mirage can be considered an ally of ours.”
Feeling a bit amused at this thought, under Leo Ray’s guidance, his group stopped at a flower bed a few meters away from the other party.
From this position, they could clearly hear the conversation between the black-robed individuals.
“However, speaking of which, this so-called Ancient Battlefield Ruin is nothing more than a fictitious rumor after all.”
At this point, a skinny black-robed person, with their back to Leo Ray’s group, stretched lazily and spoke in an impatient tone.
This voice was clearly disguised and sounded stiff and unnatural, making it impossible to tell the person’s gender.
“Indeed, we’ve been searching here since the early morning, but there’s still no sign of anything.”
Immediately afterward, another disguised voice complained, “The most important thing is that we’re caught in this Mirage now. It’s so dizzying.”
Upon closer inspection, the second voice belonged to a burly black-robed person.
“There’s no way around it. After all, those of us who came this time are all physical powerhouses and can’t break through this Mirage.”
On the other side, the third disguised voice chimed in leisurely, “Also, Number 135 and Number 40, you two stop complaining.
Keep in mind that this time ‘Asura’ from the organization is personally leading the team. If he hears your grumbling, watch out for the consequences!”
“Number 203, with your strength ranking of two hundred plus, do you have the right to lecture me?
Hearing this, the burly black-robed person who had spoken earlier, shook the wide-blade sword in his hand.
Threateningly, he said to the medium-sized black-robed person, “I’m a long-established Tier 4 Powerhouse in the Coldflame Kingdom, understand?””Alright, Lord Number 40, Number 203 is a powerhouse who has just been transferred from the Saintholy Night Branch and is not familiar with our Coldflame Branch’s rules.’
Following that, the slim black-robed person who spoke earlier turned to the side and gently patted the burly black-robed person’s shoulder.
At this moment, when Leo Ray, who was behind the flower bed, saw the side of the slim black-robed person’s face, he was immediately taken aback. Not far away, what he saw was a white Gothic-style mask with a slightly eerie half-face.
On one corner of the mask, there was a black cracked emblem and a number 00135!
“So they are all members of the mysterious organization.”
Upon seeing this, Leo Ray couldn’t help but reveal a thoughtful expression amidst his surprise.
Without a doubt, they had already obtained quite a few new clues from the short conversation between the three people just now.
Firstly, just as they had guessed before, the scope of this mysterious organization’s activities did indeed cover both the Coldflame Kingdom and the Saint Night Kingdom.
Moreover, judging from their use of the terms “Coldflame Branch” and “Saintholy Night Branch”, it’s highly likely that there are even more kingdoms involved.
Secondly, the numbers on the masks could certainly indicate the power ranking within the organization.
And, from the words of the burly black-robed person called Number 40, it could be deduced that there are at least 40 Tier 4 Powerhouses in the organization!
However, due to the organization’s extensive activities covering at least two kingdoms, having 40 Tier 4 Powerhouses isn’t out of the ordinary.
After all, not counting the other aristocratic families in the Coldflame Kingdom, there are more than a handful of Tier 4 Powerhouses who are loyal to the Coldflame Royal Family alone.
“Thinking about it this way, the number isn’t that exaggerated.”
Having thought of this, Leo Ray was slightly relieved.
Currently, besides the Tier 5 Powerhouse Taylor, Tier 4 Powerhouse Gideon Black, and Jasper Richardson who had temporarily left the team, they already have five Tier 3 Pinnacle Powerhouses in the ranks: Serena Clark, Stella Clark, Linda, Joshua Bingaman, and Orion Wolfe.
And the likes of Scarlett, Abigail, Amelia, Bianca White, Belinda Wright, and Mason Banks could also reach that level soon.
As such, as long as they could find a stable source of Tier 4 Magic Pills to enhance their power, their subordinates would gradually advance to Tier 4, and it wouldn’t take long.
Upon realizing this, Leo Ray continued pondering.
Taking into account the vast coverage of this mysterious organization’s activities,
the probability that its true nature was the Coldflame Royal Family or Saint Night Royal Family was almost zero.
In addition, considering the situation with Michael Wood,
it was clear that some aristocrats had secretly joined this mysterious organization.
“I wonder if the Coldflame Royal Family has noticed this.”
At this moment, a dangerous curve appeared at the corner of Leo Ray’s mouth: “If we can provoke conflict between the Coldflame Royal Family and the mysterious organization, it would clearly serve the purpose of weakening both parties simultaneously, allowing us more time and opportunities to grow.”
“In this way, besides the border wars and internal strife in the Royal Capital, our greatest opponent, the Coldflame Royal Family, would inevitably face a third formidable enemy.”
“When the Fifth Princess arrives, I must try to find a way to strike from the side. As a member of the royal family, she may very well possess some other clues.”
Just as Leo Ray was thinking about this, another development occurred at the location where the group of black-robed people was..
