Chapter 1564: Chapter 477: Watching the Original Flood Gang Gambling Fight in Memory Chapter 1564: Chapter 477: Watching the Original Flood Gang Gambling Fight in Memory North City, Maple Leaf Inn.

If it weren’t for Leonard Churchill leading the way, Sophia Jones thought she likely wouldn’t have visited such a place.

The patrons of this high-class inn were either wealthy or noble, and those of unclear origin were easily suspected.

Since the Revolutionary Army arrived in the Southern Continent, they had been very cautious; even when staying at inns, they predominantly chose those in the noisy, crowded, and safer parts of the poor districts.

But now, with someone leading the way, she didn’t have to think too much.

After unlocking the magic lock, Leonard Churchill called Sophia Jones to enter, “Please come in.”

The magic lamp lit up, illuminating everything inside the room.

Sophia Jones, who had been born into a high-ranking aristocratic family, wasn’t a stranger to the luxury of the upper class society.

But upon entering the room, she was momentarily dazzled by the concentration of Elements, which was much stronger than outside, and chuckled, “You do pick your spots well.”

In terms of a training environment, just this inn was comparable to the highest barriers built at great expense by the large noble families in the East Wilderness.

Leonard Churchill laughed, “Haha… It’s rare to find such a great cultivation environment in the Southern Continent, if you’re staying long term, of course you’d choose a better place.”

Being a solitary man, he was naturally willing to spend money since he supported only himself.

Sophia Jones chuckled lightly and walked into the room.

Her keen senses, upon entering, immediately detected the presence of two living beings.

Initially, she thought they were rats, but the aura was quite pure, tinged with a hint of fear.

Sophia Jones looked in that direction and saw two small figures with transparent wings panicking and hiding in the wardrobe.

Surprised by her discovery, before she could speak, Leonard Churchill introduced, “These two are Kola and Nina; they are Elemental Elves from the Magical Beast Forest.”

Hearing this, Sophia Jones’s eyes lit up: Elemental Elves?

Were they those high-ranking mythical beings from the legends in the classic books?

She had actually seen living Elemental Elves?

Casting a surprised glance at Leonard Churchill, Sophia Jones pondered, “You own such mythical creatures? And you’ve raised two?”

Seeing her look, Leonard Churchill knew she must be very curious, as mythical creatures were rare. He explained with a slight smile, “They were captured by hunters, sold multiple times. By a stroke of fortune, I rescued them… so they’re not too fond of humans…”

Sophia Jones understood then why the gaze she sensed was filled with strong wariness.

Leonard Churchill, continuing, pointed towards the wardrobe where the two elves were peeking out with just their eyes, “This is my good friend.”

Even though Leonard Churchill had introduced them, the two elves remained cautious, only daring to sneak peeks and not wanting to meet anyone.

Leonard Churchill shrugged helplessly, and Sophia Jones, of course, didn’t mind.

In other places, she might have remained formal, but here, there was no need.

After entering, Sophia Jones casually set down her great sword, as if she were in her own home.

The armor was a disguise and also necessary for her escort mission. After wearing it for the journey, she had long found it oppressive.

As she walked into the room, she started to unfasten her cold steel vambrace, placing it on the table with a clang, evidently heavy.

Despite Sophia Jones’s armor being light armor designed for women, it was still quite cumbersome to take off.

After unfastening the vambrace, there were the pauldrons, chainmail, knight gloves, thigh armor, and shin guards.

After she had taken off each piece, she felt as if a weight had been lifted and was about to reach behind to unfasten the complex clasp of her chestplate when Leonard Churchill stepped up and offered naturally, “I’ll help you.”

Sophia Jones, glad to be relieved of the task, smiled gratefully, “Thank you.”

With a click, the clasp of the chestplate came loose, and Leonard Churchill placed the heavy alchemical chestplate on the table. Sophia Jones too swept up her disheveled hair.

Beneath her armor, she wore a grey-brown bodice.

Such pants, tailored from wool and stretch fabric, were unique to the Southern Continent and particularly beloved by female adventurers.

The highly elastic material not only kept the clothing intact during fierce battles but also perfectly accentuated her impressive figure.

With the armor’s concealment gone, Sophia Jones’s voluptuous and proud form was fully visible.

Leonard Churchill didn’t intentionally avoid looking and after a glance, nodded appreciatively.

Sophia Jones saw it and simply laughed silently.

…

“Some tea?”

“Sure.”

With no one else in the room, their interaction became even more uninhibited.

The room was piled with ancient texts and relics that Leonard Churchill had collected over the past days, yet to be organized and stored.

These ancient relics gave off an aura of profound knowledge associated only with ancient scholars.

Sophia Jones, similarly intrigued by ancient civilizations, curiously examined them. Upon seeing those clearly ancient stone tablets and scrolls, she asked, “Leonard Churchill, what era’s script is this?”

Leonard Churchill casually responded, “The end of the Chaotic Era, the script of Altranc civilization.”

Previously, Reuel Bible had mentioned that the death of Emperor Lanlingster was directly connected to the Church of Light. He had been especially attentive to some ancient texts from that era.

Recently, with the Remnants of the Light causing quite a stir and related relics from the ruins becoming more frequent, although the Holy Tribunal was also confiscating such items appearing on the market, Leonard Churchill’s familiarity with the Adventurers’ Marketplace enabled him to secure some.

His recent research was also on this.

As he spoke, he casually mentioned a few things about the recent circumstances.

Sophia Jones, listening, was quite surprised and exclaimed, “Are you saying that the death of Emperor Lanling is related to the god of this civilization?”
