Catastrophe Card King - Chapter 1565

Chapter 1565: Chapter 477: Watching the Original Flood Gang Gambling Fight in Memory_2 Chapter 1565: Chapter 477: Watching the Original Flood Gang Gambling Fight in Memory_2 Leonard Churchill: “Hmm, recently the turmoil in the Southern Continent has almost all been linked to the ‘Sect of Light.’”
“Is that so?”

Sophia Jones’s perspective was not ordinary; once Leonard Churchill mentioned some key points, she guessed the general idea.

However, those pieces of information had been blocked before; ordinary people simply couldn’t hear about them.

Now, having heard Leonard Churchill mention it, she realized why the Magical Beast Forest had been so bustling recently; it wasn’t just because of the treasure hunt craze.

Thinking about this, Sophia Jones looked at Leonard Churchill again and asked, “Can you understand these characters?”

“I’ve studied them for a while.”

Leonard Churchill brewed some tea and poured the amber-colored tea into a cup.

He knew Sophia Jones was also interested in ancient civilizations, so he casually mentioned further, “However, although the Altranc civilization is an ancient civilization from over a hundred thousand years ago, it’s not much different from the current era of the Airel Empire… A theocratic nation, no technology, and the magical system has remained the same for countless years…”

“…”

Sophia Jones listened and a slight smile formed on her lips.

Casually summarizing the characteristics of a civilization indicated he had deeply studied this ancient civilization.

Impressive.

There had already been many unexpected surprises tonight; a fleeting look of interest flashed in Sophia’s eyes as she continued to inspect the relics.

Touching these ancient objects provided a feeling of peace of mind.

The two chatted casually, discussing some things that were convenient to mention in a pub.

Their conversation gradually returned to the topic of cultivation.

Leonard Churchill thought of a reason and asked, “By the way, Aunt Jones, will the Secret Skill you mentioned be very troublesome?”

He had actually noticed before that whenever this topic came up, Sophia Jones’s expression always seemed a bit odd, as if she was slightly embarrassed.

In this world, there were indeed Secret Skills that sacrifice one’s own condition to enhance another’s.

If that were the case, Leonard Churchill would have to consider whether he needed it.

Sophia Jones knew what he was thinking and replied, “It’s not exactly troublesome.”

She had planned this long ago, and there was no need to hide anything now. Raising her eyebrows slightly, she said directly, “It’s just a bit… personal.”

“Ah?”

Leonard Churchill was stunned upon hearing this.

Despite his extensive knowledge, he couldn’t figure out what the White Family’s cultivation Secret Skill had to do with privacy.

Sophia Jones seemed entirely unconcerned as she said, “But since it’s you, it doesn’t really matter. After all, you already know about it more or less.”

“???”

Leonard Churchill was even more puzzled by this.

He understood the words, but not the meaning.

However, he also heard the trust Sophia Jones expressed in her words, which didn’t seem to have any negative impact on her, so he simply accepted it openly.

Sophia Jones’s expression remained calm as she said, “You’ll understand in a while.”

Afraid she might misunderstand something, Leonard Churchill explained, “Ah… no, Aunt Jones, what I mean is, there’s no hurry. You rest first, and we can talk about this slowly later…”

He figured that since they had met, there would be plenty of time.

Sophia Jones shook her head and spoke casually, “It’s fine. The Secret Skill isn’t something you can understand in a day or two. Since you are at a bottleneck, it might be good for you to move past it sooner.”

…

Although Leonard Churchill still didn’t understand, it was indeed as Sophia Jones had said, there was no need for politeness between them.

Since she said it was okay, Leonard Churchill did not dawdle.

As the two drank tea, Sophia Jones began to explain the Secret Skill, “This is the White Family’s Immortal Aegis Animals Secret Skill [Immortal Controlling Art]. Initially, it was a shortcut for Transcendent individuals to cultivate alongside the Immortal Aegis Animals, essentially spiritual communication. Later, a White family ancestor discovered that humans could also merge their spirits to some degree, allowing others to understand the ‘Intention’ conceived from their own enlightenment… thus creating this Secret Skill.”

“…”

Leonard Churchill basically understood.

Because on the path of the Domain, it’s more about personal enlightenment and understanding of the Law.

It involved a strong personal “Will,” something difficult to precisely express in words or text.

Thus, the White Family’s Secret Skill was designed to let people feel the “Intention” they wanted to express.

Discussing this, Leonard Churchill became curious, “How come I’ve never heard of this Secret Skill before?”

His reading volume was already quite extraordinary, and he might not have seen the various Secret Skills of the fifty-two Professional Sequences, but at least he had heard about them.

This Secret Skill was the only one he had never heard about.

Sophia Jones explained, “It’s because, apart from within the White Family, this Secret Skill has never been used on outsiders. So hardly anyone outside knows about it.”

Leonard Churchill grew even more curious, “Ah… is it a bloodline Secret Skill?”

He thought of the High Priest Garcia Family’s method of inheritance.

“It’s not.”

Sophia Jones shook her head and said softly, “Like I said earlier, this Secret Skill involves personal privacy. So it requires a very trustworthy individual to use this kind of Secret Skill…”

She knew her explanation sounded a bit vague and stopped there.

She glanced at Leonard Churchill and asked, “Do you want to try now?”

“Hmm.”

Leonard Churchill nodded, having no inconvenience.

“Alright. Start meditating according to the incantation I’m about to recite…”

Sophia Jones said no more and recited the Mantra for the Mental Secret Skill.

Leonard Churchill closed his eyes and meditated, channeling Mental Power according to the Mantra.

His Enlightenment was extremely high, and he quickly grasped the Secret Skill.

Gradually, he also felt as if his “Soul Out of Body” was being guided and floating up.

It was a strange sensation, as if in an instant, his thoughts followed the Incantation to another vast world.

At that moment, he heard Sophia Jones’s voice beside his ear, “You can open your eyes now.”
