EVERYONE IS A LORD: MY TALENT IS A LITTLE TOO STRONG

Chapter 966: Chapter 605: Inside the Crystal Clear City_2

Gideon Black remained bowed and continued, “The one currently holding power is the Goblin Prime Minister. The one who sent a large army to feign an attack on Dragon’s Lair City while actually intending to plunder the ancestral resting place is this guy.”

“As for the so-called ‘His Highness,’ he is the Goblin Crown Prince. Displeased with the Goblin Prime Minister’s actions, he clashed with him, even leading to small-scale warfare within the royal city.”

“As a result, since the Goblin Royal Guard had long been secretly controlled by the Goblin Prime Minister, the defeated Goblin Crown Prince was imprisoned and awaits execution.”

Pushing up his gold-rimmed glasses, Gideon Black added, “As long as the Goblin Crown Prince is executed, the Goblin Prime Minister can naturally usurp the throne.”

“I see, power struggles really are everywhere.”

Leo Ray sighed softly, gently stroking his chin and asking, “So where is the Goblin King?”

“My Lord, for a long time now, the highest decision-maker in the Goblin Kingdom has been the Goblin Crown Prince and there has been no king. This is somewhat incomprehensible.”

Gideon Black shook his head in confusion, replying, “It’s simply unimaginable for an underground kingdom of this scale to not have a king for an extended period.”

“So that’s how it is…”

Looking at Gideon Black’s puzzled face, Leo Ray nodded thoughtfully.

Soon after, Leo Ray’s dark eyes brightened, suddenly recalling the long-lost Thorn Crown he had obtained earlier.

“I remember the last sentence on the crown’s note was, ‘Undeniably, according to Goblin tradition, the owner of this crown is the Goblin King’… So, that’s it. Is it because the crown has been missing that there hasn’t been a king here?”

With this realization, Leo Ray immediately understood.

“Kingdom without a king? It’s indeed difficult to comprehend.”

On the other side, Ariel Watson’s eyebrows furrowed, and she began exchanging puzzled glances with the similarly baffled subordinates.

“It’s actually quite simple.”

Leo Ray smiled faintly, then recounted the story of the Thorn Crown to everyone.

“So, the one who possesses the crown is the king of the Goblin Kingdom?”

After hearing Leo Ray’s description, Scarlett’s face beamed with enlightenment, and she happily exclaimed, “That means, My Lord is the king here! That’s wonderful!”

“I don’t have time to rule an underground Goblin Kingdom.”

Leo Ray curled his lips and replied, “Moreover, even if we have the crown, to the Goblins we are still part of the foreign race. Even if we make them submit, there will inevitably be hidden dangers.”

“My Lord is right, the Goblins’ perspectives in various aspects are different from those of the human clan, even diametrically opposed.”

Burt stroked his short beard and said, “Thus, even the wisest and greatest ruler could not govern a completely unfamiliar kingdom.”

“So isn’t the Goblin Crown going to waste?”

Scarlett pouted and muttered, “I thought I could have fun with these green-skinned, big-nosed little creatures.”

“It does seem a bit wasteful, although these little green-skins are quite cunning. If we could use them for our benefit, it wouldn’t be a bad thing!”

On the other side, Bianca White’s large white tail swung gently back and forth as she added.

“We won’t waste such a rare opportunity.”

Leo Ray smiled at the two of them, turned around, and asked Gideon Black, “Gideon, what’s the character of the Crown Prince who’s about to be executed?”

“My Lord, the Goblin Centurion, who was imprisoned with Benson, was loyal to the Crown Prince. However, he was unable to save him due to his limited ability and thus got drunk.”

Pushing up his gold-rimmed glasses, Gideon Black replied, “According to the information in his mind, the Crown Prince is upright, advocates benevolent governance, is unwilling to wage war against other races, and is wholeheartedly committed to changing the disdainful perception of Goblins by other races. He also advocates innovation and reform.”

“On the other hand, the Goblin Prime Minister is the complete opposite. He is not only ruthless, using private torture to eliminate dissent, but also enjoys personally inflicting curse spells, having even destroyed several Otherworldly Lords.”At this point, Gideon Black shook his head helplessly.

“Understood.”

Recalling the night when the goblins attacked the city and almost harmed five lords like Wesley Peterson, Leo Ray raised his eyebrows slightly and said, “In that case, our target is clear.”

“My Lord, you mean… while rescuing Benson, we should also save the prince who is in danger, and help him ascend to the true goblin throne?”

Hearing this, Bianca White’s blue starry eyes lit up, and she suddenly understood: “As long as we make him our agent, it’s equivalent to controlling this kingdom!”

“Exactly.”

Leo Ray nodded slightly and shifted his gaze to the Goblin Centurion who had already lost control under the eaves.

He then turned to the muscular priest and said with a smirk, “Gideon, this guy also contributed to our success. If everything goes smoothly, don’t forget to lift your mental attack on him.”

“Rest assured, My Lord.”

As Gideon slightly bowed to Leo Ray, he responded, “No wonder my Lord is the most respected among us. Even such a small character can receive your attention.”

“We must be ruthless when dealing with enemies and be fair and just when rewarding and punishing our own people.”

Leo Ray gave a faint smile and waved his hand, “Alright, let’s go. Our target is the prison of the Goblin Underground City!”

“Yes, My Lord!”

The subordinates surrounding Leo Ray immediately responded in unison.

After another swift journey,

In no time, the group arrived at a huge circular arena.

At first glance, the arena was like a small mountain, standing in the center of the city.

Its enormous scale was at least four times that of the open-air theater in Golin City.

The oval structure and white crystal materials looked crystal clear, leaving people in awe.

“My Lord, I believe I know the purpose of this place.”

As Leo Ray looked up, Leah’s clear voice rang out, “If I’m not mistaken, this used to be a Divine Selection Arena!”

“Divine Selection Arena?”

Upon hearing this new term, a curious look appeared on Leo Ray’s face, prompting Leah to continue.

“Yes, My Lord,” Leah nodded slightly, smoothing her messy hair and continued, “You may not be aware that there are two ways for the Chosen Son of God to be born.”

“The first is for a very small number of exceptionally gifted individuals to receive attention from a deity and obtain divine revelation, which then grants them access to the Land of Divine Favor belonging to that deity.”

“The second method is for the various races across the continent to select their own young and strong representatives every seventy-two years, who, upon winning the competition, can also become the Chosen Sons of God and gain access to the Land of Divine Favor.”

At this point, Leah took a deep breath and solemnly said, “This Divine Selection Arena is precisely where the Chosen Sons of God are contested!”

“So that’s how it is…”

Hearing this, Leo Ray pondered, “So it seems that this underground Gorgeous City might not have been built by a single race, but rather constructed by many different races working together? No wonder the architectural style is so diverse and complex.”

Realizing this, Leo Ray immediately stepped up his pace and said, “Let’s put this aside for now and keep moving. The Goblin’s prison is within reach.”
