Catastrophe Card King
Chapter 1318 - Chapter 1318 Chapter 404 Ruins of Saint Crown City_3

Chapter 1318: Chapter 404 Ruins of Saint Crown City_3 Chapter 1318: Chapter 404 Ruins of Saint Crown City_3 But the fact was right before his eyes.

The catastrophic war of that year directly shattered the space around Saint Crown City.

Moreover, this city was the closest to Imperial Capital Behemoth, so it was likely that the situation nearby was similar.

No wonder the Rebel Dragon Army wanted to steal the Void Dragon Ship before.

These fragments of planes floating in the Void were like isolated islands in the ocean, difficult to explore without a ship.

…

As the fog dissipated, the mercenaries gathered in groups towards the back.

Near the edge of the cliff at the campsite were several targeted teleportation arrays that, as the purple light lit up, transported groups of mercenaries away.

Leonard Churchill’s pupils slightly contracted as he focused on a distant point, watching those mercenaries appear on various fragmented lands.

Although they were called fragments, the smaller ones were several dozen football fields in size; some were astonishingly large, exactly like a complete continent.

Not only were there relics on them, but there were also Twisted Light Gates representing entrances to the Alternate Dimension.

Merely looking at it felt as though an unexplored treasure vault was beckoning to people.

The catastrophic battle three thousand years ago saw countless card masters fall here, including even Divine Ranks!

The treasures within these relics were imaginable!

But at the same time, it also meant there were countless secrets and dangers buried.

Leonard watched with increasingly fervent eyes, deeply attracted by the unknowns this adventure brought.

It suddenly dawned on him.

Probably a card master with spatial abilities had built teleportation arrays on those fragments using specifically directed displacements or some special transportation tools, which allowed the mercenaries to be teleported there.

However, this reduced the efficiency of the exploration.

Step by step on the way to the Imperial Capital Behemoth, it was uncertain how long it would take, maybe even several years from now.

Leonard looked at this scene and thought again of those from the Rebel Dragon Army.

They had preemptively set up to steal the dragon ship, so they would reach the Imperial City relics earlier and possibly reap more benefits.

While thinking, the mercenaries beside him were also shaken.

“Oh, Old Molly, what’s happening?”

“You newcomers wouldn’t know… See that shattered Void up north? That’s the Ruins of Saint Crown City, once known as the first mechanical city of Taren, from three thousand years ago destroyed by a Divine Rank powerhouse! Oh, you wouldn’t know, that’s an ancient battlefield, left with countless treasures. Hunters who went there explored and found many ancient weapons, battle armor, cards, classic books, secret scrolls, and numerous rare and exotic treasures… One lucky fellow even found a fragment of a Divine Weapon with remnants of divinity, and the royals awarded him with a title and land!”

“Just the treasures scattered on those relic fragments have already yielded huge gains. Not to mention those Alternate Dimensions. These days, anyone who returns alive from exploring Alternate Dimensions comes back very wealthy, many of them are war materials from the Taren royals from three thousand years ago. Several sub-group leaders have already taken people deep inside and haven’t returned yet…”

“What? So many treasures in these relics?”

“Absolutely! I guarantee this is the richest relic in terms of treasures produced since the exploration of the Old Continent started. The several large Alternate Dimensions found like ‘Hold Fort Battle,’ ‘Panlos Temporal Maze,’ and ‘Terror Nest’ are producing a large amount of high-tier treasures, Spatial Crystal Cores, precious metals, top-grade Energy Stones, Potions, Special Cards… and many unexplored Alternate Dimensions too…”

“But think carefully before you go, these relics are rich in resources, but the death rate is also extremely high. We’re already running out of War Slaves for cave exploration. The leaders are also swamped with the ‘Limited Time Reclamation Order’ from the Holy See…”

“Old Molly, why don’t you go?”

“Ha, this little ability of mine, earning some labor money by handling logistics satisfies me.”

…

Leonard was also mingling in the crowd, listening to a mercenary who had been here for many days bragging.

Setting aside the hearsay, he also roughly confirmed that these relics indeed produced countless treasures.

But that was also expected.

Nobody knew exactly what happened during the final collapse of the Taren Dynasty, but Leonard speculated that the fall of Saint Crown City must have been one of the last key battles.

Since it shattered continents, it must have involved top-ranking powerhouses and large armies.

It was normal for the relics to have a lot of treasures left behind.

However, Leonard was particularly interested in one point: since Saint Crown City was known as the first mechanical city of Taren, would it produce some rare machinery?

It seemed almost certain.

…

After moving the goods, Leonard and the other logistics transport team had nothing else to do, and everyone went about their own activities.

Leonard, like the other mercenaries, eagerly went to the Adventurer’s Guild in the camp to gather information.

While taking advantage of the dissipating fog, a large group of mercenaries had just left the camp.

Even so, when Leonard arrived, the Mercenary Guild’s tent was still packed to the brim.
