Chapter 1739: Chapter 528: How to Relieve Worry, Get Rich by Robbery!_2

During the previous battle, he had discovered that almost every one of the forty thieves knew a few Secret Skills.

Sophia Jones also flipped through two of them, nodding her head and feeling immense emotion, "This collection is indeed too extraordinary..."

In terms of value, this was even more abundant than the entire collection of the Revolutionary Army’s headquarters.

Both of them showed surprise, but they were not too shocked.

After all, classic books like these are replicable, and with the "forty thieves" being active for so many years, it was no surprise they had amassed so much over time.

Leonard Churchill, while browsing, noticed a special display cabinet on the bookshelf.

He picked up a book, and his expression brightened: "I knew this collection would be here..."

When it comes to the top choices for a collector’s collection, one simply cannot avoid the card master’s "Fifty-two Demon God Sequence".

Count Misty Mountain was no exception.

Leonard Churchill glanced at the book cover and, unsurprisingly, saw that those he had seen in the Black Market were all there.

There were even a few that he had never seen in the Black Market.

After counting, there were a total of thirteen Demon God Secret Skills.

Scattered, almost a hundred versions.

The threshold for entry into the Demon God Secret Skills was very high, and they were highly compatible with Professional Sequences, so it was generally useless for a card master to get Secret Skills from other Sequences. Even for their own Sequence, it was incredibly difficult to comprehend and enter.

For ordinary people, the value of collecting these items far exceeded their practical value.

It was the same for Count Misty Mountain.

But for Leonard Churchill, they were treasures.

JOKER had an ultra-high affinity with all Sequences and just needed time to gradually learn them.

What made Leonard Churchill even more excited was that he saw two boxes in the most conspicuous place.

Opening the boxes, he found two pieces of incomplete copper plates.

Looking at the copper fragments, Leonard Churchill exclaimed with surprise, "Eh... they’re actually the original copper plates!"

These were clearly from the Royal Academy, possibly hoarded without being reported, or perhaps they never had the chance to be sent off.

Now they had fallen into their hands at a bargain.

Coincidentally, Leonard Churchill found that he could understand part of one of the plates, which seemed to be the "Gluttony" Secret Skill?

He had previously obtained some introductory mantras at the Royal Academy and knew that the Royal Academy had that piece that even Barre Shepherd did not, and he never thought it would fall into the hands of the chief thief so coincidentally.

Sophia Jones looked at the two copper plates, her face also showing joy.

There is a saying in the White Family’s legacy that fifty-two copper plates are the foundation of the Card Master Civilization, and to obtain them is a Great Fortune.

She picked up the other plate and glanced at it, with the enhancement of the Immortal Aegis Animals’ perception, she discerned some clues, saying, "This piece seems to be a Healing Sequence Demon God Secret Skill..."

Leonard Churchill was very familiar with the Royal Academy’s collection and said upon hearing this, "Then it should be the ’Resurrection Foul Ritual’."

As they looked, they stuffed everything into the Storage Space without sifting.

....

The peacock had no interest in these human objects and just strolled aimlessly in the treasury.

She originally intended to pick a few pretty jewels from those brightly shining gems.

However, unexpectedly, she bumped into an "air wall".

The peacock felt in front of her and touched a layer of nothingness with a satin-like texture, lightly exclaiming, "Eh... there’s something here."

Upon hearing this, Leonard Churchill’s expression also showed a hint of surprise, and he immediately walked over.

He reached out and touched it, only then recognizing it as an oversized Stealth Magic Carpet—the [Cross Legion’s Invisible Magic Carpet].

"Oh, it’s the legendary relic from the army..."

Leonard Churchill lamented.

Another renowned ancient artifact from history.

With a slight tug, like ripples in the air, its true form was revealed.

It turned out that there was a secluded space isolated within the treasury.

Beneath the magic carpet was an altar.

....

The three of them, Leonard Churchill, were now closely observing the altar made of black stone, occupying hundreds of square meters.

Complex magic patterns formed the basic structure of the altar, with an ominous-looking Armor at its center.

Seeing the scale of this altar, Leonard Churchill chuckled, "So there’s been a secret worship of an Outer God..."

He was all too familiar with Outer God altars and could tell at a glance that the worship had been going on for a considerable length of time.

In the Southern Continent, only the Great Dragon worship was permitted; Outer God Followers were forbidden heresies in the eyes of the Holy Church.

It turned out that "Count Misty Mountain" Rostov was not only the chief of the forty thieves but also an Outer God Follower.

Leonard Churchill was slightly surprised but his attention quickly turned to the central Armor at the altar.

The Armor was covered with marks from swords and blades, surrounded by a black aura, giving the impression of an ancient General who died in battle sitting there.

Staring at it for too long could make one’s expression somewhat vacant, evoking a strange feeling that the Armor might come to life at any moment.

"It actually possesses Divinity..."

In Leonard Churchill’s eyes, he clearly saw the Extraordinary Traits overflowing from the Armor, also curious to know which Outer God was sacrificed to.

Sophia Jones sensed it for a moment, her eyes sharpening as she said, "Such a powerful force of War Disaster!"

Hearing this, Leonard Churchill realized, saying, "It looks to be directed at ’War Scourge Lord Meliode’."

Looking at the Armor, he also recalled some information about this Outer God.

’War Scourge Lord Meliode’ was one of the culprits behind the collapse of the Taren Empire three thousand years ago. During Taren’s End Period, he even attempted to steal treasures from the Augustus Imperial Tomb but was severely injured by a court master guarding the Imperial Mausoleum using tomb restrictions. He later fled to the Southern Continent.

This history was something Leonard Churchill had heard firsthand from an old guardian of the mausoleum.

It seems that ’War Scourge Lord Meliode’s’ days in the Southern Continent were not easy, and for countless years, he could only quietly gather believers.
