Chapter 539: Chapter 395: Bert’s Loyalty_1

And so, with a flash of blue light, everything changed.

When Leo Ray’s vision cleared,

he found himself and his subordinates back in their familiar territory.

At this moment, the dark night sky was dotted with stars.

Within the territory, under the illumination of numerous Light Crystal Stones,

the place was brightly lit, much brighter than before.

Thanks to the powerful disguise function of the Illusory Vision Tower, no one would find the trace of the territory in the forest unless a stranger approached the vicinity.

Thus, under the moonlit night,

even if the territory was filled with Light Crystal Stones, shining up to the sky, there was no risk of detection from the outside world.

Thinking of this, Leo Ray narrowed his eyes and continued to observe.

Looking around, he could clearly see that the area near the city wall and the large kitchen was bustling with activity.

It seemed that the construction of the city gate, crenellations, and the dining hall was still ongoing, both intensely and systematically.

On the other side, the three Miracle Buildings, Guardian Defense Mechanism, Light Healing House, and Illusory Vision Tower within the territory, shone brilliantly.

Burt and his daughter, new to the territory, were already overwhelmed with astonishment.

Noticing this, Leo Ray smiled faintly.

He then instructed Gideon Black to lead the two of them around the territory for a tour, while the other subordinates took a temporary rest.

Next, Leo Ray entered the Lord’s Mansion and went straight to the third-floor Lord’s Office.

Without hesitation, he opened the trading channel and directly traded the Tier 3 Recruitment Order that he had just upgraded to Penelope Welbourn.

In a short time, the blessed Tier 3 Recruitment Order was traded back by Penelope.

“The blessing effect is ‘having all functions of a Tier 4 Recruitment Order’?

Not bad. With this, the preparation work before recruiting Burt is fully completed!”

Seeing the detailed description of the blessed Recruitment Order, Leo Ray, sitting in the boss’s chair, nodded with satisfaction.

Then, he took the blessed Recruitment Order out of the storage wooden box again.

Excited, Leo Ray asked Penelope for her request. He learned that she wanted some Magic Medicine to enhance strength, which would further increase the power of their subordinates.

“Penelope’s territory is not only close to those unexplored Light Elf Ruins,

but her blessing talent is also quite helpful to me.

Therefore, it’s beneficial to strengthen her power within a reasonable range.”

Thinking of this, Leo Ray pondered for a moment.

Then, he directly traded 20 Tier 1 Body-Strengthening Pills that he had obtained at the Viennas City Auction to Penelope.

On the other side, Penelope, who received the Magic Medicine, flashed her long eyelashes in surprise. After being startled for a while, she jumped with joy.

For her, this Magic Medicine, which could elevate her power to Tier 1 Peak Level, was undoubtedly a great fortune!

After a while, having closed several thank-you private messages from Penelope, Leo Ray smiled helplessly and left the Lord’s Office.

Without a doubt, the time had come to go to Cyan Town to recruit Giant Axe General Burt.

So, after assembling Taylor and the other six subordinates, along with the still amazed Burt and his daughter,

Leo Ray gestured, and all the subordinates used their abilities to race toward Cyan Town under the night

After spirited traveling,

The brightly lit city appeared in everyone’s sight.

At this time, it was the busiest part of the night in Cyan Town, full of bustling activity.

The deep blue starry sky and the Magic Neon on the streets in the twilight complemented each other, painting an extraordinary lively cityscape.

Stepping into the bustling commercial street, Leo Ray nodded to his subordinates and walked directly towards the City Lord Mansion.

…

“General Gilbert, Sir wants to see you.”

On the top floor of the Lord’s Mansion of Cyan Town, an old white-haired man gazing at the starry sky with a melancholic expression was interrupted by a crisp voice.

Regaining his composure, Burt turned around.

He looked puzzled at Maid Celeste standing by the balcony door and asked, “Didn’t the Princess just go shopping in the city with General Joshua?”

“That’s correct, but the person who wants to see you is not the Princess. Follow me, and you will know.”

Celeste Reiss, dressed in black and white maid’s attire, bowed slightly to Burt and walked ahead of him.

On the other side, Burt followed with an astonished expression on his face.

After a while, when Burt stepped into an elegantly decorated small reception room in the City Lord Mansion,

he saw a white-haired old man in a brocade robe, around his age, standing before him.

For a moment, their eyes met, and a strong sense of familiarity and nostalgia surged in Burt’s heart,

causing his sturdy body to tremble involuntarily.

At this moment, Burt’s aged face transformed from initial confusion and disbelief to surprise and excitement.

After a long pause, he took a tentative tone, “Are you…Burt?”
