Catastrophe Card King
Chapter 1152 - Chapter 1152 Chapter 353 Sophia Jones Arrives_3

Chapter 1152: Chapter 353 Sophia Jones Arrives_3 Chapter 1152: Chapter 353 Sophia Jones Arrives_3 This was the old friend she knew so well.

He had a kind of pride that bordered on madness.

Once he was convinced of something in his heart, he could gamble everything.

Including his life.

If it were Seven Brown herself, she would never dare to stay in the city on some assumptions.

Leonard Churchill knew that Miss Rita was worried about him, and he smiled and explained further, “Besides, I left the drawing in the space of the relic, ‘Monet’s Sunrise,’ so they might not be able to pinpoint our location right now.”

He was not yet certain what method the other party used to sense the location of the drawing, but whatever the method, trying to probe it through this Disaster Object would significantly increase the difficulty.

Hearing this, Seven Brown glanced at the painting, and her expression visibly improved.

As the two were talking, Leonard Churchill suddenly felt a stirring in his pocket, and a little head popped out.

Ivan looked at Leonard Churchill with her big watery eyes and said somewhat embarrassedly, “Mr. Leonard Churchill, I’m hungry…”

Leonard Churchill laughed, “Mhm.”

There was another reason he hadn’t mentioned.

Knowing that this little girl could traverse space so easily, staying in Sinless City was undoubtedly an option.

…

In the following days, Leonard Churchill and Seven Brown continued to live in Sinless City.

As expected, life suddenly became peaceful.

It was unclear whether the people from the Orlan Royal Family genuinely could not confirm the location of the drawings, or it was some unspoken agreement Leonard Churchill had guessed at.

In any case, assassins did not come again.

In fact, Leonard Churchill knew they were safe after the day of the assassination went without incident.

But to be cautious, he and Seven Brown still lived separately for several days.

During this period, Leonard Churchill hastened to copy the encrypted data every day.

It took five days to complete the copy.

After destroying the old data, the last potential danger was completely removed.

It must be said that the previous assassination attempt brought Leonard Churchill immense gains.

Not only did he obtain a Disaster-item level painting, but more importantly, it allowed him to touch the threshold of the “Space Law.”

Learning such High-level Laws required exceptional talent, insight, and a Big Chance.

Leonard Churchill had always felt he was slightly lacking before.

This assassination attempt gave him an understanding of the approach.

Sometimes, comprehending the Space Law is like learning to ride a bicycle; you can’t grasp the technique and can’t maintain balance no matter how much you practice.

But at a certain moment, you just get it and the future direction becomes clear.

After entering the threshold of the Law, when Leonard Churchill looked again at the exclusive Demon God Secret Skill of the Painter Sequence, ‘Fantasy Universe,’ he could truly comprehend the skill’s profound mysteries.

Moreover, after mastering this Secret Skill, the benefit was that he could directly use the artifact [Monet’s Sunrise].

The painting’s attack attributes, like “Space Barrier,” were something that Leonard Churchill had not yet fully grasped.

However, he had already started using the storage feature.

The painting’s interior came with a huge space about the size of a street block, which could expand according to one’s comprehension level of Space Law.

Like a “balloon” that can be inflated by oneself, in theory, it could be many times larger.

The most important aspect was not the Storage Space.

But rather, the space within the painting was a perfected Space Law, not the inferior kind of space in a Storage Ring.

This could contain all items.

Items such as the pottery jar and the Useless Great Sword, which he had to always carry with him, could now be stuffed into the Storage Ring.

For Mr. Leonard Churchill, carrying items had become much more convenient and much safer too.

Time swiftly passed by.

During these days, Leonard Churchill immersed himself every day in pondering over several Demon God Secret Skills, as well as researching “Space Law”.

Meanwhile, Seven Brown was completely engrossed in her work cracking the encrypted data.

The level of encryption on the batch of research data was indeed very high and extremely difficult to crack. But mechanical data is different from ordinary encrypted documentation; many things in this type of data are traceable and can be deduced.

Seven Brown’s expertise in the field of machinery was not low, and she knew a part of the ‘Mechanical Descent’ Secret Skill. With relevant enlightenment bolstered by a Professional Sequence’s Demon God, although the decoding was slow, she made gradual progress.

A few days passed, and, although she had roughly only decoded some introductions, she also reached a precise conclusion.

As they had guessed, this was research data on the “Mechanical Angel”.

It contained not only some blueprints of mechas more advanced than the Titan Mechs, but what was more important, it also included a type of “ancient weaponry” that completely surpassed the current level of technology.

According to estimates, should such a weapon be actually produced, its potency could be unimaginably great.

After this discovery, Seven Brown decoded with even more vigor.

The two were like they had returned to the old times spent in the Red Mansion, in tacit understanding, busily and closely working together.

In the evenings, they would bathe together and enjoy the rare moments of joy.

Oh!

And also feeding little Ivan, who only knew to eat and then sleep, and sleep and then eat.

Having such a third wheel was something the couple was initially not used to.

But later on, they realized that the little girl would not wake up once she fell asleep, and so life continued as usual.

…

Before they knew it, almost half a month had passed.

During these days, apart from holing up in his room for cultivation, Leonard Churchill would also go out daily to gather information.

Using his disguised identity as an information merchant, he learned a great deal of news.

More and more troops from the Red Dragon Kingdom were gathering within Sinless City.

These days, dozens of cities had fallen one after another, and each day vast treasures and war slaves were brought to Sinless City.

Initially, the Red Dragon Kingdom’s momentum seemed unstoppable, but slowly, the war started to drag on like a quagmire.

With the East Wilderness’ vast lands and numerous people, as the front line stretched longer, the number of soldiers from the Red Dragon Kingdom became somewhat inadequate.

To conquer the cities one by one, it could take decades to end the war.

Ever since Mr. Leonard Churchill knew what the Silver Moon Sect was plotting, he paid extra attention to the movements of the Red Dragon Kingdom’s army.

From those pieces of information, he deduced that a major war was about to unfold.

The center of the conflict between the two sides would most likely be the largest city in the southern part of East Wilderness–Talon Mobile Mechanical City.

The Red Dragon Kingdom had assembled more than twenty may be Mercenary Corps, readying nearly four hundred thousand soldiers to mount a fierce assault on Talon Mechanical City.

On the other hand, the Orlan Royal Family also had stationed a million troops, seemingly determined to defend the city to the death.

To outsiders, this seemed like a normal attack and defense battle at a certain stage of the war.

However, Mr. Leonard Churchill faintly perceived that there might be some secrets hidden within that others did not know.

Originally, Mr. Leonard Churchill was thinking of merging into the Mercenary Group to go to the battlefield and examine the situation.

But unexpectedly, before he set out, Sophia Jones arrived in Sinless City.
