“So, you’re saying you don’t know the exact situation with Ivan either?”

“Yeah.”

“…”

Having eaten her fill, Ivan climbed onto Leonard Churchill’s head and began to snooze contentedly.

By the campfire, Leonard Churchill and Aragon were discussing the events that had unfolded during this period.

Leonard Churchill had originally thought that the reason the Rebel Dragon Army had sent Ivan to the East Wilderness for refuge was that they knew of the young girl’s uniqueness.

After all, Ivan referred to the leader of the Rebel Dragon Army as her “mother.”

But upon hearing his old friend’s explanation, Leonard Churchill realized that he had been mistaken.

Aragon went on to clarify, “Ivan is not the leader’s daughter. She just latched onto her as a mother figure when she was first rescued.”

“Then Ivan is…?”

Having spent time with her, Leonard Churchill had come to realize that Ivan was not human.

He had assumed that the leader of the Revolutionary Army might himself be of an unusual kind, hence his offspring would naturally be unique.

But it turned out they had no blood relationship at all.

Aragon’s expression grew somewhat strange as he detailed the young girl’s origins: “The leader’s abilities are very special, her spatial capabilities allow her to infiltrate almost anywhere. Due to some ancient, mysterious prophecy, she went to a place in the World Rift. There, she stumbled upon a secret base of the Holy Church’s Judging Office. Supposedly those guys from the Holy Church were conducting research on a very high-profile secret project… Although we don’t know exactly what the Holy Church was up to, whatever they’re doing, we want to disrupt it. The leader found a small girl in hibernation inside a black iron coffin, that girl is ‘Ivan’…”

With a shrug, Aragon continued, “The leader isn’t even certain what kind of being Ivan is. But she contains indescribable high-level Spatial Laws, and within her right eye lies a destructive power that will automatically unseal only when she faces danger…”

“…”

Upon hearing this story, Leonard Churchill furrowed his brow slightly, realizing the truth of the matter.

But he seized on a keyword and asked back, “Coffin?”

Unaware of why that was his focus, Aragon explained, “Yes, a black iron coffin. The leader said it must be something very ancient. Likely a treasure related to Spatial Laws…”

The word “coffin” reminded Leonard Churchill of two he had encountered before.

One on the Underworld Train [Neon], which nurtured the soul.

Another was in the possession of the Orlan Royal Family, which nurtured the physical body.

This was the third one, related to spatial abilities.

Leonard Churchill asked Aragon for more information, but it seemed that even the Rebel Dragon Army didn’t have full knowledge of the circumstances; their discovery of Ivan had been largely accidental.

They were also unaware of the origins of the coffin.

Aragon continued, “The reason for sending Ivan to the East Wilderness was that when the Rebel Dragon Army noticed the mysterious loss of Ivan, the reaction from the Holy Church was a bit odd. The leader realized Ivan might be very special and, just to be on the safe side, decided to hide her in the East Wilderness…”

“…”

Hearing this, Leonard Churchill understood completely.

The Rebel Dragon Army, in fact, did not know the risks associated with little Ivan.

The reason nothing was mentioned in the letter when Ivan was sent was that knowing more about these matters would make exposure more likely.

Moreover, certain Mysterious Type methods could use these clues to track her down.

By sending her to East Wilderness, especially to Leonard Churchill, a stranger with little to no ties to the Rebel Dragon Army, all possibilities of being located were virtually eliminated.

However, the fact was that they had been found.

Aragon, of course, knew that Leonard Churchill would be puzzled by this, and explained directly, “We had no idea things would escalate to this point. After hearing about it later, the leader immediately sought the advice of the ‘Blind Prophet’ from the Misty Abyss. It seems that the Pope, Bolarante, might have used the Divine Power of Order from the Sovereign Treasure Orb to divine Ivan’s location…”

“…”

Leonard Churchill was not too surprised to hear this; only Mysterious Type methods could lock onto Ivan’s location in the East Wilderness.

After a pause, Aragon added, “But don’t worry, the cost of using such divination is great. The Pope cannot use it frequently. And now that his method has been exposed, the leader has already made protective arrangements. For the foreseeable future, they will likely be unable to locate Ivan using the same approach.”

“…”

Only then did Leonard Churchill breathe a sigh of relief.

If they could be pinpointed at any time, the next enemy would surely be stronger.

…

Having explained everything, Aragon spoke apologetically, “I’m sorry for causing you so much trouble this time.”

Leonard Churchill shook his head indifferently, “No big deal.”

The other party was unaware of the risks, so it couldn’t really be considered a setup.

Besides, the experience had been an extraordinary adventure for Leonard Churchill.

Having survived was a significant gain in itself.

Immediately afterward, Aragon added, “The leader organized forces to come over as soon as we received the information. Later, after being discovered at Gold-digging Dock and Sinless City by people from the Southern Continent, some conflicts ensued. We initially thought we would have to stage a jailbreak, but unexpectedly… Brother Leonard Churchill, you managed to escape safely. Then I came to find you, as the leader is still entangled with the Grand Marshal Andre…”

His tone was full of disbelief, and he glanced at Leonard Churchill while speaking.

He knew all too well the methods of the Holy Church; such a small team of five was almost unbeatable in the East Wilderness.

And one of them was a “Great Deacon,” yet they had failed?

If it were him, he feared he would have faced certain capture.
