Catastrophe Card King
Chapter 1472 - Chapter 1472 Chapter 451 Mythical Creatures·Elemental Elf_2

Chapter 1472: Chapter 451 Mythical Creatures*Elemental Elf_2 Chapter 1472: Chapter 451 Mythical Creatures*Elemental Elf_2 The Landon Duchy’s reclamation of the Old Continent hardly lacked in landholdings or titles.

Offering a hereditary baron title for this “Primeval Copper Slice” seemed reasonable.

Leonard Churchill watched the proceedings, finding them interesting.

Indeed, opportunities awaited the prepared.

This fellow had certainly done his homework for a title.

Sack pondered the terms for a moment and said, “I accept your conditions.”

Since the other party dared to ask for a title, the copper piece must be authentic.

Upon hearing this, Goat Beard immediately knelt excitedly and said, “Thank you, young master!”

…

The trade was completed.

Both parties got what they wanted.

Now promised a barony of the Landon Duchy, Goat Beard counted himself as part of the Landon Family.

He tactfully refunded the money Sack had previously spent on buying items.

Sack, however, did not accept it, instead rewarding the man with the same sum and asked, “Which Commerce Guild do you belong to?”

He was no fool and guessed that a merchant able to produce such treasures was no ordinary Adventurer.

Goat Beard said, anxious, “I’m just an ordinary adventurer merchant from Giant Spirit City.”

He had no major Commerce Guild backing, living off the resale of adventurer’s goods for earnings.

Sack lost interest upon hearing this.

He needed to cultivate his own power, looking for capable subordinates.

He had no interest in asking a Speculative Trader any further.

Goat Beard, sharp as ever, immediately sensed the deeper implications in Sack’s words and humbly explained, “However, my father has been associated with the Magical Beast Forest for over fifty years, and I now have several medium-sized Adventure Groups that follow me, with over a thousand men; I also know most Information merchants, and am familiar with the Black Market channels… In Giant Spirit City, there aren’t many more knowledgeable about the Magical Beast Forest than I am… Whether for your future trials at the academy or any material collection missions, I can be of some use…”

…

This perked Sack’s interest.

A local snake has its advantages too; it’s good to keep one around.

Suddenly, he thought of something and asked, “Do you have any information on Emperor’s Relics?”

Having just lost the heat of the “Curse God Card,” he came to the Adventurers’ Marketplace to try his luck, to see if there was a possibility of recuperation.

After all, the Curse God Card was not just one card, but a set of fifty-two.

From what he knew, several cards had appeared in reality.

Moreover, many stolen goods flow through the Black Market.

What if his “Black Spade 4” were there too?

Upon hearing this, Goat Beard’s thoughts became more active.

He knew this was the young master’s first assignment and couldn’t possibly say “I don’t know.”

“You’ve asked the right question, young master. I indeed have some information!”

Goat Beard’s tone demonstrated his value, as he earnestly and extravagantly explained, “The ‘Emperor’s Relics’ rumors are everywhere, but most are false. And as it happens, I am aware of a reliable one!”

Sack’s expression brightened, and he eagerly inquired, “What information?”

Goat Beard, just promised a title, certainly wouldn’t dare to lie now.

Even Leonard Churchill grew curious.

Goat Beard said, “Scarface put out a request in the Black Market yesterday, looking for a few high-level Mercenary Corps for a secret exploration cooperation. Although the destination is unknown to outsiders, I estimate that there’s a high chance he’s discovered a treasure Relic related to the Emperor’s Relics!”

Sack murmured, “Scarface?”

Of course, Leonard Churchill knew why he hesitated.

After narrowly escaping an assassination attempt, he was cautious around these unknown individuals.

How coincidental that after losing the Curse God Card, there were rumors at the Adventurers’ Marketplace?

The coincidence felt like someone was intentionally luring him.

Sack’s instinct warned him of danger, and naturally, Leonard Churchill also considered it.

In Leonard’s eyes, there were no coincidences; there was always a complete line of Cause and Effect.

However, he pondered further, envisioning the whole event’s thread from the start.

The involvement of the “Curse God Card” tied to the Lingster Emperor, the Taron Founding Emperor, meant that the relic itself was entangled in significant causal implications.

Why would the Emperor’s Relics appear at this time?

The barbaric civilization on the Southern Continent had existed for countless millennia, even the Ariel Empire had a history of several thousand years.

Why hadn’t they been discovered before, and were suddenly appearing now?

…

Goat Beard explained, “Scarface is one of the most well-informed Information merchants in the Black Market of Giant Spirit City. Of course, for your distinguished status, young master, those are but rats hiding in the sewers, unworthy of mention.”

Sack was rightfully cautious, but he was more concerned with the Emperor’s Relics.

Having saved his life with the “Curse God Card” before, he knew the power of these relics.

Even if it was a false lead, he wouldn’t give up until he had verified it himself, and asked, “How do you know that man is related to the Emperor’s Relics?”

Goat Beard dared not play coy at this time and responded directly, “Because that man has secretly sold several juvenile ‘Elemental Elves’!”

He elaborated further, “Because according to the information I gathered, wherever the Emperor’s Relics appear, the Elements are extremely rich. Mythical Creatures like ‘Elemental Elves’ are born in those Element-rich forests. Additionally, I’ve observed that the equipment prepared by those for exploration includes a large amount of anti-poison gear and Potions; hence, I deduced they might be heading towards ‘Dark Poison Swamp,’ where some ancient architectural Relics have recently been unearthed, and the elves are likely to have been captured from there…”
