Catastrophe Card King
Chapter 1507 - Chapter 1507 Chapter 461 Witch Doctor Priest Sect of Light_4

Chapter 1507: Chapter 461: Witch Doctor, Priest, Sect of Light_4 Chapter 1507: Chapter 461: Witch Doctor, Priest, Sect of Light_4 And Leonard Churchill, upon seeing the person opening the door, arrogantly walked in without a word of inquiry.

In any era, as long as there is an excess of divine authority, members of the Holy See are regarded as supreme.

Arrogance is standard issue.

David, watching Leonard who seemed like a completely different person, was also stunned for a moment.

He couldn’t help wondering whether this attitude would offend this key Non-Player Character in the storyline.

However, against all expectations, the old woman not only took no offence but respectfully guided the two inside, saying, “Honored Steward Sir, please come this way…”

…

“B-grade side quest completed: You have obtained the Relic left behind by Priest of Light Maya. Extra exploration level +15%, additional rewards have been granted for completion.”

Several minutes later.

When Leonard emerged from the wooden cabin carrying a package, David, who had been forcefully suppressing his expression, couldn’t stop the corners of his eyes from twitching violently.

Had he not witnessed the entire development of the scenario just then,

he would never have believed that he had just completed a B-grade side quest.

At that moment, looking back at his teammate who had remained poised and calm throughout, David was engulfed in waves of amazement.

He felt as though he had used up all the astonishment of his past decade in one day.

He had watched this man perfectly role-play a “Church Deacon of the Church of Light,” then it was Ivan’s questioning, and just like that, he got the inheritance Relic left by a Witch Doctor thirty years ago.

That wasn’t even the most unbelievable part.

David couldn’t understand how, even with perfect acting, Leonard knew all those ancient civilization terms.

After they left the house, Leonard also breathed a sigh of relief.

Having obtained this key Relic, the storyline of this village no longer held any importance for him.

Whatever conflict might arise now wouldn’t affect his plan.

As he relaxed, David felt he was finally seeing the familiar “Allen” he knew.

Throughout the whole ordeal, David had often suspected that his teammate was really some church dignitary and his student identity was just a disguise.

The moment Leonard dropped the act, that sense of unreality finally dissipated.

David felt as if he were dreaming and, although asking questions seemed foolish, his thirst for knowledge compelled him to ask, “Brother Allen… how… how do you know so much about the ancient Altranc civilization and the Church of Light?”

He knew how Leonard had managed it,

yet he was certain that his teammate hadn’t been making it up on the spot, but truly understood.

The old woman was a Non-Player Character but also an Extraordinary Person, with more knowledge than most in the village.

If Leonard hadn’t had substantial professional knowledge, there was no way he could have fooled her.

Which raised the question: How was his friend so familiar with a civilization tens of thousands of years old?

Leonard replied offhandedly, “Oh, you mean that? I am a Scholar, after all, I’ve read many books. I happened to come across some information…”

Of course, that was modesty.

If Leonard had only read books about the Altranc civilization, happening upon it in the Alternate Dimension and knowing what to do would be a coincidence.

But if he had read about thousands of ancient civilizations, then it was no coincidence.

That was a Scholar.

The real coincidence was that it was after entering the Alternate Dimension that he learned from a tailor that the “Sun Wheel” emblem he saw in the relics from the Altranc civilization era in the Giant Spirit City Adventurers’ Marketplace was a symbol of the Sect of Light.

So he had hastily made a counterfeit.

After all, no one would dare to verify it.

However,

succeeding in coaxing information from the Non-Player Character was mostly down to his “role-playing”.

The bits of knowledge he had about the Sect of Light were too fragmented.

But his thorough understanding of the workings of the Holy Church was clear.

In any era, human nature is the same, and history repeats itself.

There are only so many rules within the church; a guess combined with acting–Leonard was confident that his knowledge was enough to deceive a First-Order Mage.

…

David had intended to ask more questions,

just then, they ran into Lizard Mage Serli, Garfield, and the other two teammates.

From a distance, Garfield called out, “Allen, David… we’ve just received some important intelligence! Once night falls, make sure not to leave the village…”

They had rushed to warn their teammates as soon as they received the information.

It was indeed critical intelligence.

But after walking around with Leonard, David suddenly felt he had acquired his teammate’s expressionless habit, showing neither joy nor surprise about anything.

Seeing the composed expressions of Leonard and himself, Jessica asked in bewilderment, “Why aren’t you surprised?”

They had all been so relieved when they had received the information.

It was a good thing they hadn’t left the village.

Otherwise, a disaster might have occurred.

Yet… these two fellows showed none of the surprise they had.

David, seeing the puzzled look of the four teammates, knew Leonard wasn’t one for many words and had to speak up, “Uh-huh. We knew about it before.”

Garfield was also surprised, saying, “You knew? Ah… but this was a clue that we had only just manage to obtain. The Simon Family has managed to block information and used the authority of the village chief to brand us as ‘some greedy and despicable Bounty Hunters’, making the villagers wary of us…”

“Ah… this…”

David didn’t know how to explain the complexity of his feelings at that moment.

If he were to reveal what the two of them had just experienced, he felt he would surely astonish his cohorts.

Sensing David’s expression, Lizard Mage Serli, quite astutely, asked, “Allen, David, you haven’t discovered some important clue, have you?”
