Catastrophe Card King
Chapter 1395 - Chapter 1395 Chapter 428 Stab the King_3

Chapter 1395: Chapter 428: Stab the King_3 Chapter 1395: Chapter 428: Stab the King_3 Everything in the shop had come to a halt.

Outside the door, the flow of people continued unabated, but the shopkeeper, who had been flipping through blueprints, had his hand suspended in midair, his entire figure frozen in place.

Leonard Churchill knew this was the domain of a top-tier powerhouse.

The mysterious immortal before him had twisted the domain of time.

Elder Clinton walked in directly, his murky eyes twinkling with insight as he glanced over Leonard and the other two, muttering, “Strange…”

Upon hearing this, Leonard immediately knew he was not recognized.

It wasn’t that he had been forgotten.

Instead, as he had guessed, this was Elder Clinton of three thousand years ago, who simply did not know him.

Elder Clinton did not dawdle and directly asked, “Young ones, you seem to know me?”

Camilla and Tracy Garcia were not very familiar with Elder Clinton, nor did they understand why this initially sleazy old man suddenly seemed like a completely different person.

Leonard simply said, “Senior Clinton, have you… forgotten again? I am Leonard Churchill.”

He wasn’t sure how to explain, nor was he certain if his guess was correct, so he just hinted with that comment.

However, as soon as he spoke, Elder Clinton’s eyes slightly narrowed, as if he had calculated something.

Turning his face, the skeptical old man now bore a smile of realization and exclaimed, “Oh. I must have met you in the future.”

“…”

At those words, Leonard felt a tingle in his scalp.

The fact that Pursuer of Light Faro could recognize him in Alternate Dimension had already been quite astonishing.

Now Elder Clinton had made such a statement.

This caused Leonard’s mind to momentarily be overwhelmed.

It seemed like these individuals were not of the same dimension as him, resembling more of a “god’s perspective.”

This higher existence knew many things beyond the understanding of ordinary human thought.

Upon hearing these words, Leonard didn’t know how to respond, stuttering, “This… you…”

If this truly was Elder Clinton from three thousand years ago, there wouldn’t be any connection to speak of.

Plus, his intuition told him, this connection should not be carelessly made.

Because as he spoke, he caught a glimpse of something out of the ordinary.

Elder Clinton was one thing, being a man shrouded in secrets.

But the strong man accompanying him made Leonard’s heart skip a beat.

This man was burly, a common sight in the Imperial City.

But just in that moment, Leonard spotted a flash of silver beneath his cloak.

It was armor!

Wearing armor wasn’t unusual, but observing the scant mystical patterns visible on the armor, Leonard immediately felt a surge of familiarity.

He never forgot anything he had seen.

He recognized at once that this armor was the same set he had once seen at the Divine Ruins Treasure House, famed as the ‘Immovable Fortress,’ Frederick I’s Silvery Radiance Armor!

Leonard was surprised to see this set of armor here.

But what was more surprising was why this man was wearing this armor?

After all, only card masters of the [Hero] Sequence, known for their strong Contamination traits, could wear this armor.

Specifically, those in the Hero Sequence were significant during wartime.

If not an official wartime hero, then a hero of the Rebels.

Barely showing the armor with the helmet removed, Leonard felt that most likely this was no official figure.

So…

Thinking about this, the corner of Leonard’s eye twitched involuntarily.

He faintly sensed that things were not looking good.

…

However, even though Leonard managed not to show any outward signs of distress.

In front of Elder Clinton, now in his other identity, his thoughts seemed utterly transparent.

Seeing the brief stiffening of Leonard’s gaze, Elder Clinton chuckled lightly as if he had seen through everything and said, “Young man, you have an active mind. How about, interested in an adventure together?”

Upon hearing this, Leonard’s heart thudded.

Because that statement led his deductions towards a terrifying direction.

At this moment, Enlightenment also appeared: “S-grade hidden storyline triggered, a mysterious person from the Rebel Faction has infiltrated the Imperial Capital, intending to carry out an assassination, inviting you to participate. Accept yes/no?”

Assassination?

As I thought!

Leonard Churchill knew it was useless to pretend, and at this moment, it was hard to hide his shock.

The moment he heard the inquiry, he had deduced this possibility.

But the Spatial Will confirmed this notion.

The target for the assassination, requiring Elder Clinton’s involvement, anyone would know who it is, no need to think too much.

Suddenly, Leonard Churchill realized why the Mechanical Angel had shown hostility towards Elder Clinton previously.

Now it seemed that Elder Clinton, in these three thousand years, might have played a very important and special role in this cataclysmic battle of Taren.

Looking again at the Great Sword carried on the back of the cloaked figure, Leonard Churchill inexplicably felt his right eyelid twitch violently.

…..

Having witnessed the indomitable combat power of Mad King Auduin before, taking on both the Pursuer of Light Faro and Outer God Mutu two against one without falling short, he knew that the Mad King’s strength was absolutely the ceiling.

Leonard Churchill had wondered before, who could possibly kill Emperor Taren?

Because, coincidentally, he had seen the body of “Mad King” Auduin in the Imperial Mausoleum.

The last emperor was pierced through the heart by the [Olympus Holy Sword] under the four major Royal Holy Artifacts.

Interestingly, whoever could wield this Holy Sword must possess the Royal Destiny.

And even more coincidentally,

The [Hero] Sequence of card masters are among the few, almost naturally possessing the Royal Destiny.

They are also those who could wield this Great Sword.

Moreover, the armored giant clad in the [Frederick I’s Silvery Radiance Armor], a legendary battle armor, is most likely part of the Hero Sequence.

Therefore, it is not difficult to speculate that the Great Sword he carries behind is possibly that Kingship Holy Sword.

Further speculation leads to the conclusion that their assassination target, almost definitely, is none other than Emperor Taren himself–Mad King Auduin!

This chain of thought naturally unfolded.

Leonard Churchill was exceedingly interested in witnessing this earth-shattering assassination that changed the history of civilization.

However, this is a multiple-choice question.

Tracy Garcia’s ancestor was the Taron Grand Priest, so they were now considered part of the Taren faction.

If he truly decided to accept the mission, he would be part of the Rebel Faction.

He had just waited for a chance to meet Will Smith, but missed it.

Compared to the uncertainty of the mission, meeting Great Priest Smith was almost a guaranteed big opportunity.

Whether from his own perspective or from a friend’s standpoint, he would choose the latter.

Besides, Leonard Churchill liked adventure, but not the sort that meant certain death.

This Alternate Dimension’s S-grade storyline, even an Eighth-Rank would likely die–he didn’t want to throw his life away.

Though he knew the assassination had succeeded historically, no one knew if it would be this time.

Moreover, Elder Clinton wouldn’t die, but he, a mere Cannon Fodder, might not be so lucky.

…

Elder Clinton stared at Leonard Churchill’s face, seemingly seeing through his thoughts and smiled again: “Kid, your deduction is good, have you seen Faro? No wonder…”

Leonard Churchill didn’t know what this “no wonder” meant.

But Elder Clinton, seeming to guess his answer, said, “In that case, see you next time.”

Saying so, he led the Cloaked Figure and, without looking back, they walked out of the shop.

Leaving Leonard Churchill and the two women staring at each other in bewilderment.

At that moment, Leonard Churchill had a strong illusion, as if this wasn’t the Alternate Dimension, but he had really traveled through time and space, meeting Elder Clinton three thousand years ago?

As the two left the shop, the odd temporal field instantly returned to normal.

The shop owner’s hand, which had been frozen, turned over a new blueprint and enthusiastically asked: “Three guests, are you interested in this blueprint?”

This question snapped them out of their thoughts, and Leonard Churchill regained his composure from his pondering.

He and Ashelly exchanged glances, all three seeing the confusion in each other’s eyes.

Unable to make sense of it, they turned their attention back to the blueprint.

This Alternate Dimension had too many secrets…

No, to be precise, that missing history had hidden too many secrets.
