Chapter 1439 - Chapter 1439 Chapter 442 Three People Drink Dragon Root Wine

Chapter 1439: Chapter 442: Three People Drink Dragon Root Wine Chapter 1439: Chapter 442: Three People Drink Dragon Root Wine The news of the assassination of the Pope of the Holy Tribunal was deliberately sealed off, and few people are currently aware of it.

Moreover, this information is of little use to the average person.

But precisely here, there was one who took great interest in this report.

Catherine Carter looked at Leonard Churchill’s suddenly profound gaze and that touch of an unintentionally odd expression between his brows, and asked curiously, “What are you thinking?”

“This matter, it could involve a lot…”

Leonard Churchill’s brows furrowed slightly, seemingly also at a loss for how to express his speculations.

Now, with his “I Am the World” ability, he found himself unconsciously extrapolating upon hearing any news.

He would reason out motives from the event itself and, combined with the background of the relevant people, deduce the entire event’s cause and effect.

Not many could wield the “Olympus Holy Sword,” and Leonard Churchill felt that it was very likely Reuel Bible.

But if it was indeed that old friend of his, setting aside how he managed it, this “motive” was quite puzzling.

Reuel Bible was upright and full of a sense of justice.

Why would he want to assassinate the Pope?

The only reasonable explanation Leonard Churchill could think of might have to do with Elder Clinton.

Based on previous intelligence, three thousand years ago, if not for the assassination of Mad King Auduin, those Outer God rebels might not have easily taken down the Imperial City Behemoth.

Reuel Bible’s situation was extremely similar.

Leonard Churchill then thought of the Illumination Secret Society’s participation in the fall of Orlan over two hundred years ago.

It seemed that in the shadows of history, there were always some “history correctors” lurking in the Dark, influencing the course of civilization.

Deducing up to this point, it felt as if some threads of fate in Leonard Churchill’s mind were connecting.

What common people thought were random occurrences in history might be some deliberate orchestrations manifesting as inevitabilities.

Thinking like this, even the seemingly accidental acquisition of the “jar” by Reuel Bible and getting the “Olympus Holy Sword” might not be genuine coincidences.

It could be interference from some mysterious forces,

where under certain conditions, it was inevitable that something would occur.

Leonard Churchill’s thoughts suddenly drifted to the major events that had happened in the past…

Mushroom Head Jerry’s Teacher, former Pursuer of Light Geoff, was killed, and Jerry disguised himself to infiltrate the X Bureau; later, Reuel Bible went to investigate the X Bureau headquarters, and then was used by the Crimson Sect; following that was the Crimson Sect’s annihilation in the battle at the Divine Ruins Treasure House, with only Reuel Bible managing to bring the “jar” out…

At the time these sequences of events occurred, they appeared to be random under the circumstances.

But now, tracking back along this line of cause and effect, one finds that such events are completely interconnected.

Even if the means were sophisticated enough, from the outset, interference in these events could be entirely “man-made.”

It sounded somewhat incredible.

But in fact, this was a capability possessed by top Extraordinary Men.

If Leonard Churchill hadn’t gone to that Alternate Dimension “Thousand Army Surrounding City” and witnessed the former Pursuer of Light Faro and High Priest Will Smith from three thousand years ago, he wouldn’t dare believe someone could plot to such a degree as to affect the future of civilization thousands of years later.

And Elder Clinton was even an “Immortal.”

He must possess methods beyond what humans could conceive.

History correctors, civilization monitors, or perhaps… something else.

Leonard Churchill didn’t know how to describe it.

But whether it was the assassination of the Mad King three thousand years ago or the current assassination of the Pope, Leonard Churchill felt the presence of that figure.

He, who was immortal through the ages, had enough time to arrange the outcomes he envisioned.

As for why assassinate the Pope this time… judging from the current situation, Leonard Churchill still couldn’t understand why, but looking at the Southern Continent’s recent movements entering the Old Continent, he vaguely guessed it might be another crucial turn of events for civilization.

Killing or not killing wasn’t important; the important thing was, once a god shows their vulnerability, they are no longer a god.

The Great Dragon of the Southern Continent that reigned supreme over mankind, the Holy Tribunal, might be undergoing a major upheaval.

…

“So, it seems to be related to a senior I know…”

Leonard Churchill felt he might have glimpsed the truth of the incident.

However, the cause and effect tied to Elder Clinton were very particular, and he didn’t think everyone was destined to know the things he did to influence the course of history.

Leonard Churchill chose some of the scenarios he had deduced that others could understand and tactfully narrated them.

But even though he presented it simply, those around him like Seven Brown and Catherine Carter were left dumbfounded.

What was thought to be a random assassination turned out to be linked to so much.

Though Catherine Carter also knew of Elder Clinton’s special nature, she heard Leonard Churchill deliberately avoiding certain issues, and didn’t probe further, only saying, “So, regarding these assassination matters, should we be preparing for something?”

“I don’t know either…”

Leonard Churchill said, laughing and shaking his head.

Going over events after they happen and tracing them back is easy.

But during the events, it is much harder.

It’s like during a game of chess, where it seems as if both players have countless potential moves.

But after reviewing the game, one finds there is only one sequence of moves.

Now still in the game, Leonard Churchill, though he had extrapolated many possibilities, still saw these as futures filled with countless uncertainties.

It was this very uncertainty that made him look forward to the future even more.

Seven Brown expressed surprise, “You don’t know?”

Catherine Carter was also slightly taken aback, thinking that at least he should have deduced something.

Because that was just like him.

Meeting their gazes, Leonard Churchill helplessly shrugged his shoulders, laughing self-deprecatingly, “My Realm is still far from comprehending the intricacies of such levels of planning. It’s best to do what we ought to, what we can.”
