“So that’s it…”

Leonard Churchill listened with an unchanged expression, but a hint of interest flickered in his eyes.

Others might not understand the issues that Lenny described, but Leonard understood them all too well.

“I was wondering how Tricksters control so many Puppets. It turns out to be like this…”

Leonard mumbled to himself.

He not only knew the dangers of fragmentation but had also almost suffered from a Mental Deformation himself.

However, he had found a way to restrain it by learning the “Void Moon Mind” Contemplation Secret Technique, using strong Mental Power and will to constrain the split Personalities.

Although the problem of fragmentation wasn’t eradicated, he felt it was quite acceptable; he could accept any version of himself.

As for such Mental Deformations, the Puppeteer God Family seemed to have their own methods.

“The effect of [Mist Legacy Relics] is to peel away parts of a person’s memories and cognition…”

Lenny revealed that method, saying, “So once Mental Deformation occurs, Relics can be used to directly remove the uncontrollable split personality. Although this means losing some memories and abilities, the upside is survival and the ability to continue advancing. This has been the method used by the Puppeteer God Family for countless years. However, Tricksters rarely encounter this problem before reaching Seventh Grade, so that Relic is seldom needed…”

“…”

Leonard also understood this method.

An uncontrollable personality? Simply peel it off with Relics.

It was like excising a tumor from the flesh.

It seemed to be a good method indeed.

Moreover, Leonard also understood exactly what Lenny was ultimately searching for within the Relics.

It was the memories left in the Relics by the ancestors of the Puppeteer God Family!

According to Lenny, nearly all who underwent Mutation were above Seventh Grade, the most talented individuals from generations of the Playgod Clan.

In other words, the consciousness fragments within the Relics could be various “Super Tier Secret Skills” that had been lost over time!

Those consciousness fragments, in a sense, were similar to “Skill Cards,” and if appropriately used, could even be directly assimilated as one’s own Skills!

…

So that was it!

Suddenly, Leonard became very interested in the Relics, smiling as he said, “So, Domingo seeks these consciousness fragments from within, which is why he wishes to find you?”

“Yes.”

Lenny had nothing to hide and had guessed that Leonard would figure this out. He continued, “Before, it didn’t matter that the East Wilderness lacked someone of Seventh Grade, as the Legendary Realm mage capable of controlling a Puppet army was sufficient to merit the title of ‘One of the King’s Four Knights.’ There was no need for the consciousness fragments from the [Mist Legacy Relics]. But now that the people of the Southern Continent have made their moves, if we can’t break through to Seventh Grade, the honor and pride of the Playgod Clan will be shattered beyond repair, possibly even leading to destruction. That’s why they thought of me, the ‘useless one’…”

Pausing to take a breath, Lenny seemed to recall some unpleasant past as a hint of self-mockery flickered in his eyes, then added, “After all, I am the only one who has been subjected to the Soul Search by this Relic and lived to tell about it… That is to say, only I know how to use this Relic correctly.”

The rituals for using the Relics weren’t passed down because there was no point in doing so.

Only those who could withstand the backlash of the Relic’s Soul Search were qualified to touch the “Mutation Consciousness Fragments” of their ancestors.

Thus, the method of using them was hidden within the [Mist Legacy Relics].

After hearing all this, Leonard thought it over and found no flaws.

He asked, “Is this what you aim to achieve?”

“It is.”

Lenny nodded and said, “To you, this Relic is at most a Soul Search tool. But for me, it is the heritage of the Trickster lineage. Therefore, I would like to ask if it might be possible to negotiate a trade…”

Even though they were consciousness fragments stripped away due to Mutation, those memories contained bona fide “Super Tier Secret Skills”!

Moreover, the Puppeteer clan had been confined to the East Wilderness for three thousand years, and many Secret Skills had been lost.

The fragments in the Relics were genuine “Trickster” pathway Super Tier Secret Skills.

More importantly, they held insights into Laws, Mental Power, and tricks!

These were precious experiences that could not be captured in Classic Books.

They were treasures beyond price.

Even Leonard, upon hearing this, was highly intrigued.

…

If what Lenny said was true, this Disaster Object was indeed of little significance to Leonard.

After all, there were other alternatives on the market for Soul Search effects.

But the issue was the “M” signature on the back of the Relic.

With this in mind, he asked casually, “I’m curious, how did you come by this Relic?”

Lenny didn’t know why he was asked this but felt the question was of minor importance, so he replied, “This is something that has been passed down within the Playgod Clan. As far as I know, it dates back to at least the Talun Era.”

Considering his words, Lenny pondered over Leonard’s tone, realizing that the latter might know something, yet he chose not to conceal anything and said, “According to the ancient records in our family, this Relic was even bestowed by the Taron Founding Emperor, the great Emperor Lanlingster.”

“…”

Leonard listened without responding.

Being Emperors’ closest guards, having Emperor Lanlingster’s Relics made sense.

Lenny seemed to know only this much.

Leonard did not inquire further and instead asked, “Trading is possible. But what can you offer?”

Relieved at this opening, Lenny said, “Your strength far exceeds mine, even reaching a height beyond my comprehension. The chips I have may not catch your eye…”
