Catastrophe Card King
Chapter 1071 - Chapter 1071 Chapter 329 Tomb Guard

Chapter 1071: Chapter 329: Tomb Guard Chapter 1071: Chapter 329: Tomb Guard Leonard Churchill took out the yellowed piece of parchment.

On the paper were only doodle-like sketches of some landmarks, mountain ranges, and a coordinate point marked with an X.

This was the prize previously drawn from the “Waren City Rebel Camp”.

Moreover, as an S-level difficulty item from the Alternate Dimension, it was definitely not a common item.

Leonard had previously suspected it was the tomb of Augustus.

Now it seemed that it might not be.

At least it wasn’t the tomb of Taron’s last emperor, ‘Mad King’ Alduin.

But the coordinates on this map just happens to point deep into the Rune Highlands.

Now that it’s confirmed that the Rune Highlands is the location of the Taron Royal Family’s tombs, what else could this place have?

Leonard felt that even if it wasn’t the ancestral tomb Camilla mentioned, it likely had a direct connection.

…

As Camilla looked at the map, her expression also sank into thought, “Do you mean to say that there must be clues related to Augustus’ Ancestral Tomb here?”

“Yes.”

Leonard also specifically observed Tracy Garcia, the heir to the High Priest lineage, who appeared utterly clueless, obviously unaware.

He added, “But as to what it is exactly, we might have to check it out to confirm.”

Since they had come to the Rune Highlands, they absolutely had to check out what exactly the spot on the map pointed to.

Master Gamil was a top-level Card Maker from thousands of years ago, capable of creating a Universal Key to unlock Slave Collars, which spoke volumes about his mastery in Curse inscriptions.

An item coveted by such a top-level Card Master was certainly not ordinary.

Had it been Leonard alone previously, he might have had to carefully weigh the risks of exploration.

But now, with their trio’s strength, they were completely prepared.

Camilla was able to exchange blows with the Seventh-Tier New King Arthur, already qualifying her to venture deeper into these highlands; not to mention the Bun-Haired Miss with her unfathomable abilities.

The most important factor was still Camilla’s bloodline.

Leonard guessed that the place marked on the map might mean a point of no return for outsiders, but not necessarily for Camilla.

It might be a “special pass”.

Just like the previous tomb, where the tomb’s anti-theft restrictions were aimed at intruders and would not harm those of the Augustus Bloodline.

Upon hearing this, Tracy blinked her eyes and immediately showed interest, “Alright~”

In her view, it was quite exciting to have a rare gathering of good friends for an adventure.

While speaking, she turned her head and asked, “Sister Camilla, what do you think?”

Camilla also nodded her head in agreement, “Yes.”

She too felt an enveloping sense of familiarity and trust.

Being old friends who trusted each other, Leonard didn’t beat around the bush but directly said, “The coordinates are about one hundred and seventy kilometers to the northeast, but the area near the coordinates is currently a blank in terms of intelligence. Adventurers from the Southern Continent have encountered some High-Tier Undead Creatures nearby…”

His previous role as an Information Merchant wasn’t merely to infiltrate the Royal Academy’s trial team.

It was to prepare for the visit to the coordinates on the map.

…

After finishing their meal, the three of them took a short rest, broke camp, and set off.

The Rune Highlands were filled with Undead Creatures, and the deeper one went, the higher the tier of these Undead Creatures became.

This was also an area blind to intelligence, so Leonard didn’t know what they would encounter.

Therefore, the trio dared not move too quickly.

Luckily, with Tracy’s Five-eyed Spiritual Cat, its exceptional clairvoyance allowed them to avoid those perilous zones.

The journey was smooth.

As they walked, they also chatted leisurely.

“The presence of so many Undead Creatures suggests that a top-level Spellcaster once cast an ‘Undead Catastrophe’ here. There must have been a fierce battle on the Rune Highlands back in the day, but who knows who it was that took action…”

“This must have happened after our Kindle Fire expedition to the East Wilderness. There is no record of it in the classic books passed down by the Royal Court…”

“Little Garcia, do you know exactly how the Taron Dynasty fell apart? And how the ‘Mad King’ Alduin died?”

“I don’t know. My mother never told me about it. It’s said that several Outer Gods awoke, and then the empire collapsed. Sister Camilla, what about you?”

“I’m not very clear either. But the current situation suggests that Taron’s fall might not be solely due to Outer Gods, but also due to the decay of kingship. I discussed a little about the missing history with the Rebel Dragon Army when we were cooperating. They said the dynasty’s downfall had a direct connection with ‘Mad King’ Alduin’s incompetence and cruelty… Otherwise, they wouldn’t have destroyed his coffin in the Imperial Mausoleum after his death, to prevent his resurrection…”

“I tend to think this matter is related to your ancestors, Little Garcia. After all, it was your ancestors who killed the Guardian Angel…”

“How would I know the arrangement of our ancestors? My mother won’t tell me clearly, always asking me to comprehend more on my own…”

“…”

As the Old Continent’s excavation continues to deepen, that buried history is slowly resurfacing.

Leonard is becoming increasingly interested in that period of Taron history.

From its glory to its downfall, he sees it as the convergence of innumerable individual fates into the destiny of the dynasty.

Merely speculating about such a “world” fascinated him.

It just so happened that there was a descendant of the Royal Family and a direct successor to the High Priest lineage present.

They knew far too much secret history that others couldn’t possibly know.

Unfortunately, one was a bastard child and the other did not fully receive the High Priest’s inheritance.

They too knew little about the missing history.

Thankfully, Leonard was able to piece together some fragmented information and come up with general insights.

The trio walked more than a hundred kilometers, taking most of the day.

Although the map was simple, fortunately, the key landmarks were described very precisely.
