Now that he knew the true King of Augustus’s Mausoleum was right beneath the ground, Leonard Churchill’s mind became more agile.

He didn’t have any spatial ability, nor did he think he could just dig his way in, so he directly asked, “Elder, do you know how to get down there?”

Elder Clinton rolled his eyes and complained, “How would I know?”

Leonard Churchill double-checked, imploringly said, “You really don’t know?”

Elder Clinton pursed his lips and responded with silence.

Leonard Churchill then confirmed that the old man truly didn’t know.

It seemed that the elderly senior was the same as before, some memories had recovered, but not all.

Leonard Churchill was no longer in a hurry.

Tomb exploration was not a case of the early bird gets the worm.

The group from the Southern Continent was already heading down. It was better to let them clear the mines and deal with traps and secret passages.

If by some fluke they made it out alive, perhaps he could even scavenge a little.

Leonard Churchill didn’t force matters beyond his capability, but thinking of something, he wistfully said, “Colin was taken down there as well, I even said I would go down to save him…”

Upon hearing this, Elder Clinton’s turbid eyes indeed showed a flicker of emotion.

Leonard Churchill was not bluffing.

He truly wanted to save someone.

He really wanted to go down there, too.

Even if he could go down, he had no assurance of making it out alive, but if Elder Clinton went with him, the odds might change.

….

Elder Clinton was still reading that stone tablet.

Just like previously in Summer Shepherd City, the content on the stone tablet seemed voluminous, and once Elder Clinton stopped in front of it, he seemed petrified, remaining silent the whole time.

Leonard Churchill couldn’t understand the stone tablet, but he wasn’t idle, voraciously absorbing the Extraordinary Traits from those Dark Crystals.

While he absorbed them, he also sorted through the Spoils of War.

Here there were six to seven thousand corpses.

Not just mercenaries, but noble guards as well, and the treasures they carried were of considerable value.

His Shadow and main body split up to search, scouring along the way.

Leonard Churchill first found the corpse of Young Master Kelly, stripped the Storage Ring from his hand, and immediately discovered a treasure.

Although the Relic-Level armor on the corpse was valuable, he only glanced at it before stashing it away.

Instead, Leonard Churchill’s eyes lit up with joy as he rummaged through the Classic Books from the Storage Ring, exclaiming, “Tsk, tsk, the students from the Royal Academy really are full of surprises…”

Being a graduate from the Royal Academy, Kelly’s Storage Ring naturally contained textbooks from the academy.

“Dragon Knight’s Introductory Training Secret Techniques,” “Fire Dragon Breathing Method,” “Black Knight’s Elixir Supplement Secret Formula,” “Dragon Strike Skill,” “Felix’s Spear Technique Mystery (Legendary)”…

Although they were only related to the Black Knight Sequence, Leonard Churchill treasured them as if they were Supreme Treasures.

He had never seen textbooks with such a complete system before.

The completeness of the system, the profundity of its mysteries, and even extensions and explanatory notes…

These were not something that could be compared with the ragtag Card Master Classics he had gathered from various mercenaries and soldiers.

Leonard Churchill’s eyes sparkled as he looked at them.

The Classic Books in the Storage Ring ranged from introductory to advanced and covered almost all the knowledge needed for anyone within the Black Knight Sequence up to the Sixth Tier.

There was also Potion Studies, a Dragon Language course, War Command, and Troop Formation…

Anyone who mastered these books could become a qualified high-level commander.

They were more than just textbooks; they included the secret family collections of the Duke Scarlet of the Red Dragon Kingdom.

These Classic Books were privileges of nobility that simply couldn’t be purchased outside!

“Good stuff!”

Leonard Churchill casually flipped through a few pages, his breathing becoming heavier with excitement.

To him, this knowledge was priceless.

Leonard Churchill had reached the Fourth Tier solely through chance and fortune, picking up spare parts here and there as he stumbled upon them.

His body was like a vase patched together with various ceramic fragments–though it appeared large, many “gaps” existed.

And these Classic Books represented complete Card Master legacies passed down from the Talun Era three thousand years ago!

They were also the crystallized wisdom refined countless times by Dragon-blooded Card Masters.

This knowledge could significantly fill the “gaps” in Leonard Churchill’s abilities.

Leonard Churchill felt a strong sense of gratitude.

Exhausting oneself through an Alternate Dimension, one might only gain a scroll or a few Martial Skills.

But in Kelly’s Storage Ring, a mountain of one-of-a-kind books and Secret Techniques piled up!

At that moment, Leonard Churchill came across a Classic Book engraved in gold and his pupils constricted, “Huh… this ‘Dragon Fist’ has similarities with Elder Barre Shepherd’s ‘Overlord Fist’!”

This was the thousand-year-old Fist Method passed down by the Duke Scarlet!

A Legendary tier Fist Method!

Great stuff!

It was likely that the entire East Continent couldn’t produce a basic Quality Tier Fist Manual like this.

Leonard Churchill flipped through it casually and happily stowed it away.

He would need a lot of time to digest these Classic Books.

And there were still too many Spoils of War to deal with in the Underground Palace. When he had some downtime, he would study them slowly.

At this point, Leonard Churchill’s gaze shifted towards the golden sarcophagus.

This was no ordinary Precious Metal sarcophagus; able to Seal the head of an angel, preventing any Contamination from leaking out, the Transcendent value of the sarcophagus itself was incalculable.

Moreover, Leonard Churchill had a hunch that there must be treasures inside it.
