Chapter 1809: Chapter 549 Worm Disaster Breakout_2

While thinking about it, Camilla suddenly asked: "What’s wrong? I’ve noticed you haven’t been in a good mood for a while now."

Leonard Churchill hesitated for a moment before responding, "I encountered someone I used to know."

Camilla, being astute, immediately guessed: "That Chosen One?"

"Yes."

Leonard nodded.

After pausing for a moment, he added, "A little beggar I met in Sinless City before. I gave her a piece of bread... Just now, she gave it back to me."

He pondered for a bit, unsure why a mere passerby he had only seen once could stir such strong emotions within him.

The feeling of dejection was strange, like reading a good story and anticipating its conclusion but not wanting it to end.

And now, that piece of bread felt like a period marking the end of the story, giving a conclusion to that encounter with an uncertain quality.

At this moment, Leonard felt like both the protagonist and the reader of the story, an odd sense of enlightenment.

"Oh,"

Camilla responded to Leonard’s expression, then fell silent, lost in her thoughts.

Next to them, Tracy Garcia, watching the silent pair, seemed to realize something and turned her crystalline eyes towards them, yet remained tacitly quiet as well.

....

The reflections of the three were cast on the room’s large glass window. They stood there without speaking.

After a while, noise finally erupted outside the Flood Gang.

Terrified screams suddenly filled the entire building.

The people inside didn’t know what was happening, only that the soldiers who had been lounging around inside were hastily donning their leather armor and rushing out, as if receiving an order to assemble.

The guests in the room started to curiously inquire about what was happening.

Footsteps could be heard densely from upstairs and downstairs, growing increasingly urgent.

Just then...

"Knock, knock, knock..."

A hurried knocking came from the door.

Leonard knew who it was and called out, "Come in."

Someone opened the door, looking somewhat flustered, yelling before even entering, "Leonard, brother, we have to go! There’s big trouble in the city!"

The newcomer was none other than Lenny.

After entering, he noticed the other two in the room.

A fleeting glance at Camilla and Tracy Garcia’s stunning faces restrained him instantly.

He felt an inexplicable familiarity but couldn’t recall who they were.

Moreover, considering they were staying with Leonard, they must be close friends. The urgent matter at hand didn’t allow for idle curiosity about their identities.

Leonard knew exactly what had happened; it was the upheaval he had foreseen five days ago.

At this point, Camilla and Tracy Garcia pulled their cloaks over their heads, covering most of their faces.

Leonard didn’t rush to introduce them but instead looked at the anxious Lenny and said, "No rush. Besides, it’s not like we can leave now."

"What?"

Lenny was confused, "Leonard, brother, do you know what’s happening?"

Leonard succinctly explained, "The Orlan Royal Court released the ’Mysterious Insect Mother Karakta.’

"Insect Mother?"

Lenny clearly didn’t know about the Seven Catastrophes Monarchs and hadn’t grasped the gravity of the situation yet.

"Yes, you’ll understand soon."

Leonard didn’t intend to elaborate further but instead turned to Tracy Garcia and said, "Little Garcia, help Mr. Lenny expel the insect eggs."

Tracy Garcia nodded.

"Insect eggs? What are those?"

Though Lenny didn’t understand, he trusted Leonard wouldn’t harm him and cooperated readily.

Tracy Garcia raised her hand and flicked a Curse Card, instantly summoning a lightning-infused Magic Array under Lenny’s feet.

This was the Seventh Rank [Thunderbolt Purification Technique], specifically used to dispel parasitic creatures.

Lenny recognized the court’s secret spell and was stunned: instantly casting a Seventh Rank Secret Skill?

He took a cold breath internally.

What kind of powerful connections does Leonard have?

The moment the spell was cast, Tracy Garcia also let out a soft exclamation.

Lenny felt the electric currents running through his body and lifted his shirt to explain, "Sorry, I forgot to mention, my body has been mostly converted to mechanical prosthesis due to toxin corrosion."

Tracy Garcia hadn’t seen such a thing before, realizing why the spell had encountered resistance moments ago.

Leonard looked at the highly technological mechanical prosthesis, curiously remarking, "Your prosthesis is quite something..."

The last time, it wasn’t this advanced, now it seemed like over eighty percent of his body was modified.

Is this guy heading towards Mechanical Ascension?

"It’s nothing impressive..."

Lenny shrugged self-deprecatingly.

In this world, where power rules, mechanical prosthesis is seen as inferior, even less effective than mechanical battle armor.

Seeing the trio’s slightly odd expressions, he added, "If it’s too much trouble, don’t bother Miss. I don’t have long to live anyway."

He was well aware of the city’s current state.

Being from the Playgod Clan, his experience was extensive.

Noticing the seventh-rank court’s purification technique, he guessed it might be a troublesome parasitic species.

Otherwise, his old friend wouldn’t have issued such a grave warning for him to leave within five days.

"It’s not a bother,"

Since Leonard had asked, Tracy Garcia wouldn’t find it troublesome.

With less flesh to work with, it was even simpler.

She raised her hand, guiding the purifying lightning around his head and heart area.

Instantly, dozens of hair-like black larvae were forced out of his pores, incinerated by the lightning into ash.

"This..."

Seeing this, Lenny’s face paled.
