Chapter 1866: After the modification: Chapter 565 Healing Wounds

Leonard Churchill destroyed several assassin contact points by following the trail of their aura, and only then did he leisurely return to the Mining Union building.

By the time he arrived, the battle here had already ended.

The entire city was covered in snow, and the buildings in these two blocks had been frozen into glistening ice sculptures.

A bone-chilling cold permeated the air.

Leonard sensed the strength of the laws within the cold aura and couldn’t help but marvel: "Camilla is truly powerful. But honestly, the law of kingship is indeed domineering..."

This wasn’t just the extreme cold law; it was bolstered by the law of kingship, like a magic penetration that ignored defenses. Even Leonard’s Protective Gang Air couldn’t completely block it, let alone others.

As soon as Leonard returned, he suddenly sensed someone watching him from above.

He exhaled white breath and leaped up to the bell tower in the abandoned factory, where a stunning woman in a white corseted dress was vigilantly watching the surroundings.

Seeing someone jump up, she wasn’t surprised.

Leonard greeted her with a smile, "Miss White, long time no see."

The woman in white nodded slightly, "Hm."

It was none other than the Nether Peacock.

Her Silent Annihilation Divine Light specialized in restraining various Elemental Fields. Tracy Garcia had summoned her, likely because the will of that "Elemental Sovereign, Lagros" had descended earlier and caused quite a bit of trouble.

The Nether Peacock disliked interacting with humans. Seeing Leonard come up, she exchanged a few words and then lost interest, saying, "The environment here makes me uncomfortable. Now that you’ve arrived, I’ll head back to the castle."

"Hm."

Leonard nodded with a smile, unfazed.

After all, for a lord from the Death Domain to come to the element-sparse East Wilderness, it was like a fish thrown onto dry land; even breathing would feel difficult.

This peacock and the two Elemental Elves now preferred to stay in the Augustus Imperial Mausoleum Castle in the Rune Highlands.

Speaking of which, the peacock greeted Tracy Garcia below and then vanished in the Spirit Communication Array in an instant.

...

Leonard didn’t go down to join the commotion.

Camilla was currently enfeoffing the Forbidden Curse Master’s family.

In a way, this assassination attempt was actually a good thing.

As Camilla had said, when her brother, who sat on the Orlan Throne, targeted her, it acknowledged her as a contender for kingship.

Thus, the ceremony of the "Two Kings’ Struggle" officially commenced.

The Dynasty Fortune of the Orlan Dynasty would also flow towards her as a throne contender.

Moreover, after this assassination attempt, the Herlands family, led by Ray, likely had wholeheartedly accepted this Augustus king.

The terrifying power of the "White Queen" not only proved her rightful kingship but also dispelled any previous doubts about the strength of this exiled princess.

Additionally, Camilla held the "Imperial Enfeoffment Secret Book" of the Augustus Imperial Clan.

This King’s Fortune Relic, passed down through the Taren Dynasty, once enfeoffed, was more legitimate than the positions within the Orlan Royal Family.

Besides, it also added fortune.

It was visibly noticeable that not only did Camilla’s Royal Destiny undergo qualitative improvement, but the Herlands family members even more so.

They transformed from the desolate state when they were exiled to Rig City to thriving as if new buds were sprouting from the soil, filled with vibrant new life.

Leonard, well-acquainted with the secret scripture, knew that this fortune’s blessing had far-reaching effects on people.

This was the supreme "Law of Destiny" of the universe.

The "Feuding" ability of kingship was nearly the quickest way to alter a person or family’s destiny in the current world.

After enfeoffment, it had an unspoken but significant impact on card masters like Ray, deeply tied to kingship.

Watching the enfeoffment ceremony not far from the bell tower, Leonard saw lines of fate being rewritten, extending into the future.

Counting Ray’s Puppeteer family and now the Herlands family of Forbidden Curse Masters, there were already two of the Four King’s Knights loyal to Augustus under Camilla’s command.

In Leonard’s eyes, he could already envision the scene of the White Queen ascending the throne.

The incorporation of the thousand-strong Herlands family significantly aided Camilla, but the true importance lay in the subsequent influence of this event.

The Four Royal Knights’ families were deeply intertwined with the Orlan Royal Court, with family alliances and marriages that entangled almost the entire court.

The Herlands family’s change of allegiance would also profoundly impact other old Orlan ministers.

Previously, due to ancient oaths and contracts, they were bound to the Orlan Royal Family. Even knowing that King Arthur’s reliance on Outer Gods posed great risks, they had no choice but to follow a single dark path.

But now things were different.

Camilla, the exiled princess, offered them a new choice.

....

The enfeoffment ceremony went smoothly.

After the assassination failed, Leonard immediately wiped out several key intelligence points, and the Orlan Royal Court probably hasn’t responded yet.

Furthermore, the Black Blade Organization’s leader was captured, and their elites were nearly wiped out, making it difficult for them to organize another assassination in the short term.

However, they did rebound.

Assassinations, after all, are gambles on a surprise attack and a kill in one strike.

Since their meticulously prepared attempt didn’t kill the target, there wasn’t much point in trying again.

After the enfeoffment ceremony, except for Ray and some elite fighters remaining to guard Camilla, the other humans of the Herlands family left Rig City.

Most of those leaving were the elderly, women, and children. This place was about to become the battlefield of a major showdown, so they needed to go to more remote areas to ensure their safety.
