Chapter 519: Chapter 384: The Hidden Mystery_1


    “I must admit, Your Excellency, I have never quite understood this matter.”


    The middle-aged, chubby merchant looked puzzled and then continued, “The citizens of Crystal Kingdom seem to have a strong dislike for General Burt, who hails from their ownnd, the Coldme Kingdom.”


    “So that’s why Merchant A Howard kept silent earlier?”


    Hearing this, Leo Ray nodded slightly, pondering in his heart, “That being said,


    it is understandable for those Coldme traditional nobles, who pride themselves on their lineage, to look down upon Burt, whoes from a foreignnd.


    But even the local residents of Crystal Kingdom share this sentiment, which is rather intriguing.


    As such, just as I suspected earlier,


    there must be a hidden and untold past behind Giant Axe General Burt that he does not want to be revealed.


    This can also be corroborated by the fact that Joshua, who has a close rtionship with Burt, knows nothing about his past.”


    With this thought, Leo Ray pondered for a moment and then asked the chubby merchant, “Can you be more specific about this matter?”<div>


    “I’m sorry, Your Excellency, but I don’t know the details.”


    On the other side, the chubby merchant stroked his sparse hair, which was almost bald, and shook his head helplessly, “All I know is that,


    in this kingdom, nobody wants to mention Burt’s name. It seems to be an unspoken taboo.


    As for why this situation has urred, I have no idea.”


    “I see.” Nodding slightly, Leo Ray contemted for a moment,


    and then asked the merchant about the abrupt shaking of the room at night, as described by Linda, as well as the sound of hard objects cutting through the walls.


    However, he received a baffled and negative response from the merchant.


    ording to the middle-aged chubby merchant, he stayed in Crystal Kingdom for a few days at the end of every month, and for years, there had never been any incidents like the one Linda had described.


    “I see.”


    Leo Ray nodded slightly and after confirming that there was no other significant information from the chubby merchant, he casually gave thetter a few more Gold Dragons.


    With the merchant’s voice of gratitude, Leo Ray, Linda, and the hidden Taylor went upstairs to the rooms of the inn.


    With the ancient bronze key, they smoothly entered the spacious and elegant suite at the end of the corridor on the second floor. As the chubby merchant had mentioned, the suite was indeed spacious and elegantly decorated.


    Although it could notpare to Lord’s Mansion or City Lord Mansion, it was still quite impressive.


    Moreover, on the exquisitely carved wooden tea table, there were several tes of fresh pastries, and a faint scent of milk and caramel could be detected.


    “My Lord, I must say that this country located in the mountains is quite peculiar.”


    After Leo Ray signaled to Taylor to iste the room from the outside world with energy,


    Scarlett’s crisp voice could not wait to chime in.


    It seemed that being covered in the Invisibility Cloak and unable to speak for a while had been suffocating for her.


    “Indeed.”<div>


    With the subordinates removing their cloaks and resting in the room’s soft sofas, Leo Ray couldn’t help but reveal a thoughtful expression as he sat down.


    “My Lord, even the tes for the pastries here are so unusual.”


    On the other side, Scarlett picked up a te of chocte cookies from the tea table, involuntarily swallowing her saliva, and looked at Leo Ray with anticipation.


    Her flushed cheeks looked like a little kitten waiting to be fed.<div>


    Bianca White, who had fluffy ears, also made the same move. Herrge, white tail swayed gently on the sofa seat.


    With a slight twitch of his lips, after signaling the two foodies to help themselves,


    Leo Ray’s gaze then fell on the te in Scarlett’s hand.


    Upon closer inspection, the smooth, white porcin tes were indeed unique. All were angr, square shapes, very different frommon round tes.


    “My Lord, it seems that the residents here are particrly fond of angr objects.”


    Gideon ck adjusted his gold-rimmed sses and mused, “ording to my observations, in addition to the architecture mentioned by the chubby merchant earlier,


    whether it’s the tes here or the patterns on the clothing of the local residents, they all feature angr designs, giving a rigid impression.”


    “I noticed that as well.”


    Receiving the fragrant tea that Amelia had just prepared, Leo Ray sipped the steaming hot tea and thoughtfully said, “Well then, let’s recap the clues we have so far.”


    With this, Leo Ray pondered for a moment and summarized, “Firstly, as Gideon ck just mentioned,


    residents here clearly have a preference for angr shapes.


    As a result, architecture structures, local costume patterns, or even everyday utensils like tes all feature sharp angles without a hint of roundness.”


    “That’s certainly true.”<div>


    With a crisp voice, Scarlett swallowed the crunchy chocte cookie and continued, “As for the second oddity,
