Chapter 474: Chapter 169: White Family in City of Thieves_4

This sense of elusive mystery only makes the deep pit all the more fatally attractive.

It invites one to venture down and investigate.

Besides, Leonard Churchill felt that compared to going down with anyone else, going down with Elder Clinton was the most reliable option.

Once he voiced this idea, the tense atmosphere suddenly shifted.

Elder Clinton, who had worn a serious expression, suddenly cracked a smile, revealing his smoky yellow, missing tooth grin. “Oh boy, I was thinking the same thing! Having more company means more pairs of eyes to watch each other’s back.”

In no uncertain terms, he was expressing his desire to latch onto powerful allies.

To the onlookers, this painted an image of a cravenly old man, fearful of danger and death.

But Leonard Churchill simply smiled in silence.

He figured that while everyone else failed to assess his current strength, this old man probably had a clear idea.

And this old guy probably saw some other stuff too.

Things that transcended ordinary understanding.

Listening to their conversation, Catherine Carter, who was standing at the side, finally found the courage to speak to Elder Clinton. She asked, “Elder, could I accompany you two?”

Elder Clinton cast her a disdainful gaze: What good could this burden possibly do?

Leonard Churchill was entirely accustomed to this old man’s opportunistic behavior.

If there was no benefit to be reaped, the old man would definitely not want to deal with unnecessary trouble.

It was with this glance alone that Catherine Carter could feel a fluctuation of fate.

She knew that her choice at this moment was crucial.

The slightest misstep could result in death due to the great cause and effect.

Coming up with an idea, she added, “I’m a pretty good doctor. Your team is in need of one. I… I’m certain I can be of help.”

Upon hearing this, Elder Clinton seemed unimpressed as if she hadn’t made a convincing argument.

Catherine Carter thought of something else, bravely took a gold coin and handed it to Elder Clinton, “Elder, please accept this.”

Leonard Churchill glanced at the coin from the corner of his eye and to his surprise, it was a relic level Fate Coin?

Though this old man was avaricious, he wouldn’t go as far as…

No sooner had this thought crossed his mind, Elder Clinton looked at the coin and revealed a sense of familiarity, “Eh, this coin seems familiar…”

With that, he bit into the coin and his greed naturally led him to pocket it. His attitude then changed suddenly and asked, “What do you think, Leonard?”

Leonard Churchill, of course, had no objections.

Seeing this, Catherine Carter finally let out a sigh of relief.

No one knew that this coin was the very same one that the old man had given two centuries ago to a destitute young man from the Lionheart family.

And that young man was Catherine Carter’s great-grandfather!

Leonard Churchill didn’t ask further questions.

He didn’t think of Catherine Carter as a burden. Instead, he found this diverse composition of the team intriguing.

Without knowing what troubleshooting was at the bottom of the pit, with as much of a clue as one would have in pitch darkness, there wasn’t much to discuss.

The four were in the tent preparing their exploratory gear. They had originally planned to go sign up with the vanguard.

But at this very moment, there was a sudden commotion in the camp outside.

“Young Master Kak has arrived!”

“Good gracious, an actual top-tier noble, here in the ruins.”

Elder Clinton wasn’t interested in the spectacle, so Leonard Churchill and Catherine Carter left the tent to check out the commotion.

The two emerged to see Young Master Kak, with his golden hair and blue eyes, leading a troop of heavily armed mechanical warriors into the camp.

Leonard Churchill had seen the young master numerous times, so he wasn’t surprised.

But in their group, those men dressed in Federation military uniforms, wearing mantles and shouldering golden military ranks, did catch Leonard Churchill’s attention.

Among them, two middle-aged men stood out: one with three military rank stars and a square face, the other a one-eyed man with two stars.

Even from a distance, their imposing and imposing demeanor, seemed intimidating.

This reminded Leonard Churchill of Lord Nine Brown of the Flood Gang when he was ready for battle.

Seeing Leonard Churchill’s curious glance, Catherine Carter, who clearly recognized them, took the initiative to explain, “These are the generals of the uncle’s side. Three-star Federation general, ‘Thundering Iron Fist’ Lei Hu, and two-star Major General ‘White Crow’ Polo. Both are top-tier experts in the military and Sixth-tier card masters.”

Leonard Churchill squinted his eyes, puzzled, “Sixth tier?”

Though Young Master Kak is noble, it’s not necessary for him to be protected by Federation generals at all times.

This arrangement is clearly unusual.

Knowing that they have to cooperate in the future, Catherine Carter believed it was necessary to be upfront about certain matters.

Without avoiding the topic, she said in a low voice, “Reliable sources suggest that there may be a secret method in these ruins to break through to the level of a ‘Legend.’ Moreover, the monsters here might drop related super-tier materials.”

Upon hearing this, Leonard Churchill’s eyes slightly narrowed.

He instantly understood why these generals were here.

Currently, the Federation had six tiers of card masters.

And ‘Legend’ referred to those super powerful card masters who had comprehended the ‘Demon Realm.’

Leonard Churchill knew one: the deputy leader of the Revolutionary Army, ‘Valkyrie’ Sophia Jones.

It was said that her demon realm had an awe-inspiring name: ‘Descent of the Heavenly God.’

Whenever the realm was activated, she seemed possessed by a war god, appearing invincible.

But none of these were important.

What was important was that Catherine Carter mentioned ‘breaking through the sixth tier’?

You see,

Once upon a time, levels beyond the sixth tier were almost mythical.

The idea of fifty-two Professional Sequences leading to God Tier was pure legend.

The so-called gods were too distant and too far away.

But after the discovery of the Old Continent, people have come to understand more clearly that card masters definitely have a higher limit.

Take the Taren Dynasty of the broken civilization from three thousand years ago, for instance. In the fragmented records, there were descriptions of top-tier card masters with combat power comparable to the Great Dragons..
