Catastrophe Card King

Chapter 1607: Chapter 488 Chapter 1607: Chapter 488 “Is it really that coffin?”

Leonard Churchill looked at the beast carriage loaded on the street and confirmed with Ivan once again.

The little girl said that on the third carriage covered with a jujube-red, gold-threaded wool blanket, there was a feeling she was extremely familiar with.

It could only be the mysterious coffin.

Previously, Griffith speculated that the girl might have been born from that very coffin, a personification of Spirituality manifested by the High-level Space Law.

Much like the existence of an “Artifact Spirit.”

However, neither the coffin nor the identity could be clearly explained by Ivan himself.

It was beyond investigation.

But Leonard Churchill had seen two other similar mysterious black coffins.

When he went to take the Neon Train at the White Family, there was a black coffin that could nourish the Soul and aid in the cultivation of Mental Power; the Orlan Royal Family also had one that could nourish corpses; and in The Summer Pasture Town Ruins, he guessed that on Bazix’s Netherworld Train, with its odd time Domain, there might also be one;
This was the fourth.

The history of these coffins could be traced back to the Chaotic Era before the Taren Empire.

Their purpose was unclear to both Griffith, the Rebel Dragon Army Leader, and the High Priest Susu Garcia.

Leonard Churchill seemed to think that the people of the Holy Church probably didn’t know either.

But one thing they were sure of, the coffin possessed an extremely powerful Sealing capability.

Thinking of this, Leonard Churchill’s train of thought became active: “Interesting… an Archbishop brings this coffin here, is it to Seal some Super Tier existence, or does it itself already Seal something?”

Such intelligence could not be found in the camp, and he did not know what exactly this meant.

But the bigger the movements of the Holy Church, the more it indicated that the situation was beyond their control.

Thinking back to Elder Clinton from yesterday, Leonard Churchill had a strong premonition: something big is about to happen in this Death Domain!

However, precisely because of this, a familiar sense of excitement surged in his heart.

…

Leonard Churchill spoke out all his speculations he could tell, and eventually, he made his judgment, cautioning: “I suspect that the core of this chaotic storm might not be in the Death Domain, but in the camp itself.”

Upon hearing this, Sophia Jones and members of the Revolutionary Army seated at the same table immediately had grave expressions.

They understood what Leonard Churchill meant by his words; he was reminding them of the risks and that by continuing to stay, they might fall into a trap.

But the others did not quite follow Leonard Churchill’s line of thought.

Bonnie, puzzled, asked: “Leonard Churchill, you just said that the Archbishop is either Eighth Rank or Ninth Rank, and there’s that Magic Tower, who dare cause trouble in the camp?”

Leonard Churchill did not beat around the bush, directly stating the most likely outcome of his deductions, “What if it’s not human?”

The “Blaster” Rosin’s face lit up as he suddenly realized: “You mean… Demon Beasts?”

Then “Holy Hammer” Sam understood and added: “Yeah! So many High Tier Demon Beasts have recently emerged from that Death Domain. If a few could be led to attack the camp, perhaps the city could be breached… But, what would be the purpose? That Red Robed Archbishop is so powerful; no amount of Demon Beasts would be useful if he wanted to leave…”

With that, everyone shared the same confusion.

However, the usually silent Sophia Jones had already grasped Leonard Churchill’s point, and she spoke up: “If it’s not targeting people, then there must be something ‘inside’ the camp.”

Continuing, she speculated: “This camp is itself a Sun Temple, perhaps there is something crucially important related to the Dragon God Marlodis. I suspect that the Holy Church’s people want to use it as bait, to lure the Sect of Light to launch an attack and seize the item…”

So that was it.

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly understood.

They, who had been waging guerrilla warfare in the East Wilderness for years, were all too familiar with such tactics.

Of course, they understood the difficulty of rounding up the Sun Sect within the Magical Beast Forest.

Instead of searching everywhere, better to use bait and annihilate in one strike.

Led by Sophia Jones’ line of thought, they also slowly realized why Leonard Churchill had said those words earlier.

Bonnie, still curious, asked, “Ah, Leonard Churchill… what exactly is in this camp that will surely attract the Light Believers?”

Leonard Churchill shrugged and said, “Who knows… I suspect it may be related to something involving the [Sun Disc]… after all, if Dragon God Marlodis is still alive now, he is surely Sealed, exiled, or bound by some other method, unable to appear in this World. After all, certain means would be needed to make such an appearance…”

He truly did not know what it was, but the people of the Holy Church evidently knew better than anyone what the heretics needed.

Leonard Churchill’s understanding of this world was already profound, but at every moment, he still found it wondrously mysterious.

There were still far too many unsolved mysteries.

With the existence of Alternate Dimension as a marvel of this world, it was destined that certain things could not be completely eradicated.

Like ingredients stewing in a pot, no matter what form they take, the decomposed energy and materials still exist, and through certain specific laws, that energy can be restored to its original form.

Just like with the [Sun Wheel], even if this Holy Item of the Sect of Light might have been lost throughout the long years.

But in some related Alternate Dimension, it could still be found.

What “thing” is in this camp isn’t important.

What’s important is, Leonard Churchill can now almost certainly confirm that someone is planning mischief in the camp.

…

Before, Leonard Churchill only felt a slight sense of warning, but now seeing this Red Robed Archbishop come to the camp, he knew things were very serious.
