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

Chapter 953: Chapter 598: The Lord and the Lost Crown_2

As she finished speaking, she let out a “ya” and stumbled, about to topple onto the tall and slender Scarlett.

The latter calmly tilted her body to the side, avoiding the small frame of Scarlett.

She then effortlessly grabbed the back of her collar as if lifting a small kitten and placed her on a more spacious spot nearby.

Seeing this, Leo Ray smiled faintly.

Indeed, without this lively girl, the journey would have been much more dull.

“Don’t worry, let’s explore this place first, then look for another hidden passage that the goblins haven’t discovered yet,” he said.

Looking at Scarlett’s shocked expression, Leo Ray smiled faintly and said, “Alright, let’s continue.”

Thus, following Leo Ray’s lead,

the party treaded carefully for about ten more minutes through the vast, bone-filled cave, until an unusually placed goblin skeleton caught Leo Ray’s attention.

Bathed in Ariel Watson’s magic sphere light, he discovered,

the skeleton was seated against the cavern wall, its head drooping and surrounded by a semicircular formation of rarely seen plate-armored goblin soldier remains.

Furthermore, a large number of these armored goblin guards maintained their standard alert stance with long spears in hand, seemingly loyally guarding the central, unique goblin even in death.

Even the exposed skull eye sockets in the partially enclosed helmets of these goblin guards seemed to convey a sense of determination.

Despite the loss of their lives, they continued to hold fast to their mission until their last breath.

In summary, such a scene stood out amongst the layman goblin corpses scattered around the area.

Seeing this, Leo Ray and his subordinates couldn’t help but wear a mix of surprise and reverence on their faces.

Goblins were infamous for being cunning and treacherous; when facing enemies, they would often either fight fiercely or flee immediately. But here, in this endless passage, they found a scene that inspired deep respect.

“Master, it seems the goblin in the center is the leader of this goblin army,” Scarlett said to Leo Ray, slightly bowing. “I must admit, this really challenges my opinion of these green-skinned vermin.”

“Indeed, it’s a remarkable and unforgettable sight. However, it’s worth noting that every race on this continent has its purpose. And it’s particularly apparent for those who survived the mysterious Era of Blankness – there must be a unique reason for their continued existence,” Leo Ray replied, nodding and smiling faintly. “Alright, let’s go have a closer look.”

“By your command, Master.”

Hearing this, Scarlett returned to Leo Ray’s side with a burning determination in her eyes.

Protected by his subordinates, Leo Ray approached the peculiar central goblin and began to inspect it closely.

The goblin skeleton he saw had its legs crossed and its head lowered, as if deep in thought or lamenting something.

Moreover, there was no armor on its body; instead, it wore a dark red robe.

Although the passage of time left the dark red robe faded and worn, with edges rotting and turning black,

Leo Ray could still see extremely intricate gold embroidery on it, which was unusual for goblins.

“This goblin was definitely no ordinary one,” he mused and slightly nodded.

“Master, look, there seems to be something in the goblin’s embrace!” Scarlett exclaimed in surprise.

At her words, Leo Ray crouched down for a closer examination.

As she had said, there was indeed a bulging object beneath the dark red robe.

“Gideon Black, see what that is.” Leo Ray stood up and nodded towards the Dark Priest.

“I’d be honored to do it, Master.”Gideon Black bowed slightly, and the metal skeleton pendant on his neck reflected a silver light.

For him, the Dark Healer, these bones were obviously not a problem.

Next, Gideon squatted down, gently moved the arm bones of the seated goblin, and then lifted a corner of the dark red robe.

As the bulging robe was lifted, under the illumination of the magic sphere, a dazzling golden object was revealed to everyone present.

“Is that a crown?”

Seeing the dazzling golden object clearly, Ariel Watson’s eyebrows raised in surprise and asked, “Could it be that this skeleton was a goblin king?”

“Things are getting more and more interesting.”

Looking at the crown shining brightly on the surface, Leo Ray squatted down and opened its attribute column.

[Name: Crown of Hegemony]

[Belongs to Race: Goblin]

[Function: Symbol of King]

[Note: This is a long-lost goblin crown. Its last owner was a great Goblin King, who mysteriously vanished during an underground exploration. There is no denying that, according to goblin tradition, the owner of this crown is the king of the goblins.]

“It really is a goblin crown.”

Looking at the attribute description, Leo Ray nodded thoughtfully.

Then, Leo Ray’s eyes fell on the last line of text.

He pondered in his heart: “According to goblin tradition, the owner of this crown is the king of the goblins. Interesting, I wonder if that still holds true now?”

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Leo Ray gestured to Gideon to remove the crown from the skeleton.

“My lord, my subordinates and I have checked, this crown has no abnormalities.”

After some time, when the magic powerhouses, Red Night, Joshua, Gideon, Scarlett, and others had taken turns checking, Leah carefully wiped the crown clean and handed it respectfully to Leo Ray.

“Very good.”

Taking the heavy crown, Leo Ray felt its solid and cold touch while observing it carefully.

The crown was entirely golden, forged from metal, and had extremely delicate patterns engraved around it, echoing that of the deep red robe.

A crystal clear green gem was embedded at the center of the crown, making it look exquisite and elegant, like a top-notch work of art.

“As expected of a crown, it’s indeed extraordinary.”

Seeing this, Leo Ray couldn’t help but nod in admiration.

At this moment, on Leo Ray’s palm, the goblin crown shone with dazzling golden light, as if silently telling a glorious past glory.

The chaotic scene and the atmosphere around them, filled with bones, made people feel a sense of lamentation.

“This should be considered a lost crown, right? I hope it can shine brightly in my hands.”

“But, after so long, I hope this group of goblins has not forgotten this crown.”

Slightly raising his eyebrows, Leo Ray shook his head helplessly and continued to think, “This crown is specifically for goblins, so adults won’t be able to wear it. Let’s just store it away for now.”

So, Leo Ray stored the crown in his space bracelet and said, “All right, let’s move on and continue our exploration.”

“Yes, my lord.”

On the other side, the subordinates bowed in unison, speaking in one voice.

After that, the group did not find any other valuable items and eventually left the Endless Passage, returning to their starting point.

“Next, let’s check out the other hidden Endless Passage.”

Nodding to his subordinates, Leo Ray strode towards the chaotic vortex ahead.
