Catastrophe Card King
Chapter 1558 - Chapter 1558 Chapter 475 Sophia Jones Arrives

Chapter 1558: Chapter 475 Sophia Jones Arrives Chapter 1558: Chapter 475 Sophia Jones Arrives Before long, Leonard Churchill made his exit from the Hundred Confluence Opera House.

As his feet crossed the theater’s grand exit, he finally let out a long breath, a sigh of immense relief: “Huff…”

Glancing back at the crimson curtains of the opera house, his gaze revealed a trace of gravity.

Although his exchange with Reuel Bible had been conflict-free, only he understood the oppressive feeling of conversing with the will of an Outer God, a sensation keen enough to make one’s hair stand on end.

Old Bible was still the old friend he knew.

But not entirely.

In Old Bible, Leonard saw the stark contrast of justice and evil, the conflict between chaos and order… a profoundly contradictory individual.

Leonard couldn’t quite articulate that strange feeling.

A friend, yet not entirely a friend.

This made Leonard’s own attitude towards him conflicted.

As for the aftermath of the Magic Sword Tirfeng…

Leonard never dwelt on things he couldn’t change.

From the moment Reuel Bible sought him out, the present outcome was the best he could have hoped for.

Or perhaps, ever since he had come across the Great Sword so long ago, it was his destiny that today it would end up in the other’s hands.

Leonard couldn’t help but think of the time he had asked Noah Wright how to deal with “the jar” and the latter had once said something that sounded profound and mysterious: “High Tier ancient relics are often tied to peculiar rules of destiny. No matter what the process is, they will eventually find their way into the hands of someone who is fated for them.”

Now, those words seemed to gradually resonate with understanding.

Leonard saw that fate line which, no matter how much it twisted and turned, had its end result predetermined.

There were few in this world who could wield Tirfeng, so no matter where it went, it couldn’t change the fact that it was destined for the Crimson Sect.

Thinking about this, Leonard’s eyes drifted into the distance–a myriad of destiny’s threads being traced from past to future.

Reuel Bible’s borrowing of the sword was targeted at the mysterious giant hand of the Royal Academy.

But it won’t be so easy.

The Holy Church is still the overlord of the Southern Continent. With countless years of accumulated heritage, they have a presence stronger than anyone could imagine.

The Holy See surely knows the circumstances of the Crimson Sect better than others and must have their guards up.

The exposure of the Royal Academy’s giant hand would also make them anticipate possible attention from the Vampires.

There might even be a plan to deliberately design “bait”…

The games played by both sides were far from simple.

His thoughts racing, Leonard sighed softly once more.

The content of the conversation was itself overwhelming.

But the hints hidden within it were even greater.

He withdrew his gaze, again recalling Reuel Bible’s parting words: “But on another note, the death of Emperor Lanlingster being related to the Sect of Light? And the presence of ‘War Disaster Master Mondliod’ as well…”

He had been keeping an eye on the situation in the Southern Continent, with the latest intelligence indicating that the storms were nearing the Ariel Empire.

Today’s conversation confirmed many of his previous speculations.

And during the conversation, Reuel Bible subtly mentioned the “Illumination Secret Society.”

Although Leonard knew the leader of the organization, Noah Wright, he realized that he still knew virtually nothing about the society itself.

They weren’t recorded in history, yet had existed in fact for countless years.

Leonard had scoured through many Classic Books but found no record of them.

The same mysterious aura surrounded another key figure, overlooked by all: Elder Clinton.

From what Leonard knew thus far, Elder Clinton was an Immortal.

He might have lived far beyond anyone’s imagination, and the secrets surrounding him were most certainly profound.

Furthermore, he was directly involved with the death of Mad King Auduin, the Last Emperor of Taren.

A crucial figure at key historical crossroads.

Yet such a person, a changer of major historical directions, never appeared in any Classic Books or had any legends told of him…

If it weren’t for Leonard’s personal acquaintance, he would never have realized that such people and organizations were active in the shadows of history.

Moreover, whatever way he looked at it, the current turmoil in the Southern Continent seemed to bear the shadows of historical events.

With that thought, Leonard stopped trying to untangle his complicated musings and chuckled lightly: “Heh, human history truly is a vast cycle…”

He boarded the Jumping Dragon Beast Carriage and left the theater.

…

Time flew, and another month passed.

North City, Maple Leaf Inn.

In the inn, Leonard had long grown accustomed to these days of solitary training.

David had left a month ago.

With the tier Leonard’s student had reached, he had taught all he could; the rest would be up to the student’s own experiences;

Another point was that it was not safe to stay by his side after the Crimson Sect had sought him out, so he had guided David to travel.

Now it was dinner time.

Leonard sat at a table piled high with food, beside him, a little girl was “munching and slurping” away, her mouth greasy from her meal.

That, of course, was Ivan.

Among the plates on the table, there was a colorful platter of Demon Beast Crystal Cores. Kola and Nina, the two Elemental Elves, were also enjoying their elemental dinner.

The two Elves had grown quite familiar with Leonard, occasionally humming a few merry strains of Elf Race songs during the meal, which was pleasing to both body and mind.

Mealtime was also when Leonard felt at his most relaxed.

Watching the three little ones made life seem infused with a touch of magic.

While eating, Kola suddenly asked, “Mr. Leonard Churchill, did you say you plan to go to the Magical Beast Forest soon?”

Leonard took a sip of his meat soup, nodding his head, “Yes. I’ve hit a bottleneck in my advancement, and I need a catalyst. I plan to see what the forest has to offer.”
