Catastrophe Card King
Chapter 1240 - Chapter 1240 Chapter 382 Divination

Chapter 1240: Chapter 382 Divination Chapter 1240: Chapter 382 Divination Leonard Churchill didn’t know whether his premonition of danger was accurate.

But he never harbored the illusion that good luck would always be by his side.

Having experienced countless perils, he himself didn’t feel any fluctuation.

Even if he guessed that it might be a powerful figure from the Southern Continent who had come for him, he still harbored a ‘meet the enemy head-on’ mindset.

However, as a loner, he didn’t fear for himself, but the few hundred people in the “Rat Camp” beneath the sewers had nothing to do with this matter.

Leonard didn’t want to involve others.

He had originally planned to stay with Lenny for a while longer, to stabilize his realm.

Now it seemed he must find a new place.

With that thought, he stood up and walked down the stairs.

No sooner had he descended than he saw Lenny repairing a mechanical arm on that crude table.

The welding light caused the entire room to flicker with glares of blue.

Without his cloak for cover, his half mechanically modified body was fully exposed to the air.

Like an octopus, four or five mechanical arms were simultaneously repairing the other two that had been damaged in a previous fight.

This was the exclusive talent of the [Trickster] lineage, the ability to control multiple limbs at once.

Lenny’s flesh had died due to toxin contamination, and his mechanically modified body wasn’t very high-end.

This also greatly limited his combat power.

From the materials used, it was clear that Lenny was not well-off. The metal materials and components he used seemed to be old parts dismantled from some second-hand mechanical equipment.

Not just him, but the others in the camp had similar situations.

Unlike Sinless City, where order had collapsed, in other cities of the East Wilderness, the lives of fugitives were quite difficult.

Whether it was official investigators or bounty hunters, their numbers were countless times that of the fugitives.

Among them, there were no shortage of legendary masters who lived off bounties, sufficiently relentless to drive fugitives to a dead end.

Especially for a fugitive with a special identity like Lenny.

Though not weak in strength, his years of hiding and evasion without recovery from battle wounds, made his situation increasingly desperate.

And whether for a Puppet Master or a Mechanic, they belonged to the very resource-dependent “Noble Sequence.”

…

When Leonard descended, Lenny heard the noise from the wooden stairs.

He turned his head, displaying a surprised expression, as though he found it strange that Leonard, who hadn’t come downstairs for nearly a week, would suddenly do so.

Lenny had thought maybe his own progress in understanding was too slow, and spoke with a slightly nervous tone, “Uh…did I disturb your excellency?”

Leonard shook his head and stated his purpose directly, “No. I’m planning to leave.”

Hearing this, Lenny’s heart skipped a beat.

He didn’t want to lose the opportunity he had just managed to negotiate.

He said with a look of difficulty, “Um…it might still take some time before I can return the [Ashen Mist Relic Portrait]. After all, the relic’s contamination of mental power is very severe, and the time I can comprehend it each day is very short…”

In fact, it was not “some time” he needed, but a lot of time.

After all, those fragments of consciousness within the relic belonged to the mutated spirits of the Playgod Clan’s ancestors, which were not only dangerous to interact with, but also contained Super Tier knowledge difficult to understand.

But it was only a trade deal, so Lenny didn’t dare hope for too much.

Leonard, hearing this, shook his head, knowing there was a misunderstanding and declared, “No. I’m not rushing you. Keep that relic in your possession for now. When I need it, I’ll come for it.”

“Ah?”

Lenny was quite surprised at this response.

He thought it might be related to Leonard’s sudden decision to leave, but tactfully refrained from asking.

After a moment’s hesitation, he agreed, “Alright!”

Lenny, as if feeling his response was not sufficient, added, “If your excellency needs it at any time, you can always find me. Even if something happens to me, I’ll try to ensure that the object is returned to your hands.”

“Hmm.”

The main reason Leonard was fixed on that Disaster Object was because it was a relic of Emperor Lanlingster.

As for the legacy left by the ancestors of the Playgod Clan contained within it, he merely wanted to have a look.

He himself wasn’t sure he could handle it, so it was fine if Lenny slowly unraveled it.

His initial choice to follow along was due to a lack of sufficient trust.

After these days together, Leonard had gained a full understanding.

Time had smoothed away all of Lenny’s rough edges; if it weren’t for his special identity, he truly was just a tech enthusiast who loved researching puppets and machinery.

Leonard, hearing the other party’s agreement, didn’t linger on this matter further.

Before leaving, there was still something he had in mind, so he mentioned, “However, before that, there’s something I need your help with.”

Although he himself was significantly older, he acknowledged the other’s superior strength, and Lenny showed the due courtesy, “Please tell me, your excellency.”

Lenny had also observed during these days that this “S-tier fugitive” wasn’t as extremely vicious as one might expect.

When not killing, it was hard to see such a young man having such a contrasting side, almost gentlemanly in his demeanor.

Leonard said, “You mentioned earlier that there’s a Diviner in the camp? If possible, I’d like to visit them.”

Hearing this, Lenny agreed immediately, but also hinted, “Of course. But Granny Ge is a bit… peculiar, and as you surely know, Divination comes with a high cost…”

He guessed that Leonard was seeking Granny Ge for some Divination request.

Leonard replied, “Yes. I’m aware of the rules.”

Lenny also breathed a sigh of relief.
