Catastrophe Card King
Chapter 1200 - Chapter 1200 Chapter 369 The White Family Ancestors Die

Chapter 1200: Chapter 369: The White Family Ancestors Die Suddenly_2 Chapter 1200: Chapter 369: The White Family Ancestors Die Suddenly_2 Sophia Jones immediately took out the notebook from the drawer.

The notebook’s sharp edges pricked her fingers, causing her eyebrows to furrow slightly, but she didn’t put it down.

A subtle blood light merged into the notebook.

It was as if the bloodline was recognized, or a mark was made, and the originally dull ancient notebook cover suddenly lit up with a Hexagram Array.

Gradually, certain hidden information also revealed itself.

Sophia Jones opened the notebook.

Leonard Churchill’s gaze also moved to look over.

Upon looking, it indeed was the diary of the head of the White Family.

The content went as follows:

“Orlan Calendar 125, I, Wally White, have finally found the ticket again and ascended the [Neon] Underworld Train after a century. In the barren land of the East Wilderness, even the Immortal Aegis Animals have found a place to settle. Unfortunately, with the loss of the God-stealing Ring, I lack the authority to read the top-tier secrets left in the notes by my ancestors, nor can I gain recognition from the supreme Vengeful Spirits in the special-class carriages…”

“Orlan Calendar 522, on the disappearance of the third family head Theo White, I, the fourth holder Willa White, take over the record-keeping. Assuming the cause was the failure to detrain in time, the soul trapped in the Underworld…”

“Orlan Calendar 883, the third prince Yellen Augustus Barons initiated a coup,

kingship changed hands… The fourth family head Willa White died in battle. I, Ted White, reluctantly took over as the fifth family head. After a century, only after boarding with the ticket found in the treasury did I understand the significance of the Underworld Train for the White Family…”

“Orlan Calendar 2241, the Extraordinary Materials stored in the family treasury have been exhausted. I, the ninth family head Urban White of the White Family, am probably the last card master to have the resources to advance to the Seventh Grade after the move to the East Wilderness. From this point forward, the [Neon] train will no longer be able to enter the Underworld, and the inevitable weakening of the Immortal Aegis Animals means the decline of my spendthrift family is certain, alas…”

“…”

The notebook was concise due to its limited space.

Yet every single word contained a tremendous amount of information.

With time pressing, Sophia Jones quickly flipped through page after page.

Leonard Churchill also committed them to memory with swift glances.

The notebook recorded major events that had occurred in the White Family; almost every new family head had made an entry.

Not just about the White Family, but also some snippets regarding the Orlan Royal Family.

Leonard Churchill saw many “truths” that were absent in history books.

It turns out that there had been breaks in the succession of the East Wilderness White Family.

The ticket had been lost and retrieved several times.

Moreover, each time a break occurred, a large chunk of the White Family’s legacy went missing.

…

“So the last Seventh-Order Card Master of the White Family was almost eight hundred years ago…”

Leonard Churchill read the records on the diary, saw the gradual decline of the White Family, and witnessed the decline of the Card Master Civilization.

The East Wilderness was resource-poor–once the top-tier Materials brought from the Old Continent were exhausted, the White Family was completely stuck at the bottleneck of the Seventh Grade.

Moreover, it was clear that before this,

the spans of years over which the family heads recorded events were very long, which also meant they lived long lives.

Leonard Churchill thought back to what Barre Shepherd had said about how advancing past the Seventh Grade significantly increased one’s lifespan.

The two continued to read.

“Orlan Calendar 2555, recorded by the thirteenth family head Wesley White who died in compartment 002, cause of death unknown…”

“Orlan Calendar 2771, with the King of Augustus lost to indulgence and the collapse of the dynasty inevitable, the situation remains unclear. As the fifteenth family head Troy White, to ensure family continuity, I secretly supported the Rebels…”

“…”

When Leonard Churchill read this far, he began to understand the general situation of the White Family.

Like the Garcia Family, the White Family had once been an arm of Augustus.

However, due to the changes in times and interruptions in succession, this loyalty gradually faded, leading to today’s ambitious White Family.

In the notes, Leonard Churchill saw the White Family’s true multifaceted roles in many historical events…

This killing seemed like a grand script that spanned thousands of years.

The story, full of twists and intrigue, was quite engrossing to read.

At the same time, Leonard Churchill had a strange feeling.

Despite the White Family being a leading power in the East Wilderness for nearly three thousand years, the accidental death rate of its family heads seemed very high.

Leonard Churchill roughly counted, and out of these ten or so recorded family heads, only two or three died a natural death.

The rest met with violent ends for various reasons.

Reading this, Leonard Churchill couldn’t help but wonder: could there be some curse similar to that of certain country presidents in his previous life, where assuming leadership meant an inevitable untimely death?

…

At that moment, Sophia Jones flipped to the most recent page of the notebook.

These were records from decades ago.

The content instantly made their expressions turn serious.

“Federation Calendar 177, penned by me, Troy White, acting record keeper for the sixteenth and seventeenth family heads Terry White and Vic White, who vanished in the carriage, leaving no trace of their bones. Using the Supreme treasure [Mirror of the Prophet] to investigate, at the cost of more than a decade of lifespan, I obtained only some blurred images; it’s suspected that a vengeful spirit of special class went out of control in the next compartment. To ascertain the truth, I expended a special treasure to conceal myself and hide in the room. However, I still lost half my life. What terrifies me is that I still have no clue what power inflicted such heavy injuries on me… Thus, the ticket for compartment 002 is sealed away. Whoever reads this in the future must exercise extreme caution and never open the door at midnight…”

The rest was blank.

Upon reading this, Leonard Churchill and Sophia Jones exchanged a glance, their expressions complex.

Only then did they understand.

Indeed, deadly danger lurked in the luxury compartment!

Two of the last three family heads of the White Family perished there.

The last one, after paying a tremendous price, still lost half his life.

…

The atmosphere in the carriage became very tense.

But at this point, both Leonard Churchill and Sophia Jones were quite composed.
