Chapter 1604 - Chapter 1604 Chapter 487 Elder Clinton Archbishop Black

Chapter 1604: Chapter 487: Elder Clinton, Archbishop, Black Coffin_2 Chapter 1604: Chapter 487: Elder Clinton, Archbishop, Black Coffin_2 The members of the Revolutionary Army had an air of righteousness about them, a temperament completely different from that of the mercenaries who simply worked for pay.

While not a flaw, it was enough to arouse suspicion.

Leonard Churchill then said, “But it’s not a big problem. We already had our suspicions but didn’t expose anything, and now we are even less likely to do so. Besides, by now, any doubt should have been completely dispelled.”

Unlike the Vampires, the heretics from the Sect of Light were also Dragon Descendants, just with a different God, which made them even more covert.

Since Princess Sofia of the Red Dragon Kingdom could be deemed a heretic, and the vice-chancellor of the Royal Academy too, it wouldn’t be strange for the Mercenary Group with the backing of the Red Dragon Royal Family to have Light Believers.

Leonard Churchill was certain that the Firefly Camp must be infiltrated with forces from all sides.

“Is that so…”

Bonnie found this reasoning sound, but then asked, “Ah… could it be because of the group’s leader? Is it possible he’s shielding someone out of desire?”

“It’s possible. But for a High-Order Card Master, the likelihood of desire overpowering reason is not high. Besides, there are better options available to achieve his goals.”

Leonard Churchill said with an air of casual mischief, “If I were in his position, a smarter move would be to immediately notify the Holy See about the suspicious individuals, then wait for the Great Sword Group to get caught and interrogated. If there are issues, then it’s a great achievement. If there’s no issue, later using my own status to vouch for them. Saving them would win the whole group’s favor, which is much better than simply inviting them out for dinner.”

…

Sophia Jones listened to this plan with a flash of surprise in her eyes.

It was at this moment that she realized just how far Leonard Churchill’s considerations had reached.

Bonnie felt a chill down her spine, as if she’d been unwittingly targeted by a gun for some time.

She thought of something and quickly asked, “Could it be that he will go out and inform the Holy See?

Coming to this mercenary camp, in the view of many of the Revolutionary Army cadre, was already a risky move.

But they came because they trusted the judgments of Leonard Churchill and Sophia Jones.

Now it seemed, the danger was indeed lurking.

“No.”

Leonard Churchill said confidently, “Now that he has shown his face, if we were suddenly caught, it would certainly lead to suspicions relating to him. That plan would be inferior. It’s meaningless…”

Sophia Jones had already understood his train of thought, the corner of her eyebrow raising slightly.

Bonnie’s eyes widened, and after a moment of stunned silence, she finally grasped the cunning behind the casual plan Leonard Churchill had mentioned, expressing her amazement, “Ah… Leonard, I just realized that if you were to scheme against someone, they might very well be grateful to you even though they’ve been calculated against.”

Leonard Churchill simply chuckled, “It’s not that amazing. These kinds of melodramatic plots are common in romance novels; you’d know if you read more of them.”

Bonnie took his words seriously and with surprise said, “You read romance novels?”

Leonard Churchill, without any hint of shame, resolutely replied, “Yes!”

Sophia Jones smiled and said nothing.

…

The three had a good time drinking in the tavern and had largely gotten an understanding of the situation in the camp.

The “Death Domain” was still in the development phase, with the Holy Church and the Three Great Kingdoms having invested a large number of personnel and resources, yet progress remained slow.

Every day, a large number of new adventurers and official military groups poured into Firefly Camp.

There were many new faces like the Great Sword Group in the camp, and soon they weren’t attracting any particular attention.

The Great Sword Group had been active in the forest for more than two months, and it must be said that after a drink, both body and mind were in high spirits.

Having collected nearly enough information, Leonard Churchill planned to rest for the night and come back the next day to see the situation.

The situation in the Death Domain was complex, and no good opportunities had been found for the time being.

Patience was all that was required.

Leonard Churchill, Sophia Jones, and Bonnie walked the streets with a mild alcohol buzz, casually strolling along.

Wherever adventurers gathered, there would invariably be a street market.

And Firefly Camp was no exception.

Here, members of the Commerce Guild were constantly clearing out goods, and mercenaries and adventurers would sell off some items that were inconvenient to carry, thereby stripping down their load to return home.

The three of them decided to take a look.

Leonard Churchill was used to looking for clues in the Adventurers’ Marketplace.

Those relics uncovered from the forest didn’t lie; they revealed more accurate information.

The market was also very busy, located just behind the tavern street.

Adventurers would simply lay out a piece of cloth on the ground and set up their items; it was that simple to create a stall.

The goods were very mixed, including Demon Beast materials with a smell of blood, antiques with a smell of earth, various gemstones, ores, herbs, beast eggs, Demon Beast younglings…

Everything was available.

Others bought goods.

But in Leonard Churchill’s eyes, there was more than just item after item; there were connections of cause and effect.

The information the goods pointed to, like the roots of plants, often hid under the surface out of sight.

Watching those goods, and hearing the stallholders boast about their origins, Leonard Churchill could immediately analyze where they likely came from.

Countless pieces of information gathered together, creating an increasingly complete network of intelligence.

This was a skill he had honed over the past few months in Giant Spirit City, and he was well-practiced at it.

The three of them walked along, looking around and occasionally making purchases.

There truly were good things at these street stalls, all first-hand goods.

Many adventurers lacked the ability to recognize the value of some rare treasures, so the chance of finding a bargain was quite substantial.

Leonard Churchill saw many ancient relics of significant value being sold for stall prices.

As a scholar, he picked up quite a few bargains along the way.

Sophia Jones also seemed to enjoy wandering around, casually browsing the wares.
