Catastrophe Card King

After listening to Tracy Garcia’s recount of the process, Leonard Churchill couldn’t help feeling both helpless and amused.

He couldn’t understand why the girl had such unwavering trust in him.

Leonard himself didn’t believe he could necessarily survive every adventure, but Tracy Garcia was certain that he would use the Spirit Communication Scroll to save her.

But it was pointless to talk about that now.

What mattered was that she was alive.

Looking at Bun-Haired Miss, covered in dust and dirt, Leonard guessed she had been through rough times and invited her to sit, casually offering, “Would you like some tea?”

The tent was a single-person deerskin shelter, quite small.

Tracy Garcia didn’t mind in the slightest, taking a seat next to Leonard Churchill and responded with a beaming smile, “Sure!”

While Leonard was pouring the tea, she glanced at the Classic Books on the small table and remarked, “Wow, Mr. Leonard Churchill, you are as diligent as ever…”

Leonard was already very strong now and could live a comfortable life if he wanted to.

But in Tracy’s memory, every time they met, he was either on an adventure or immersed in arduous training.

She never saw him enjoy himself.

Leonard had become accustomed to this monk-like lifestyle and didn’t find it hard at all.

He let out a laugh and poured a cup of amber-colored tea.

Tracy held the cup of tea Leonard poured, her smile revealing a pair of shallow dimples, “Thank you~”
It had been a long time since they had last met, and Bun-Haired Miss seemed quite excited.

Seeing her enthusiastic face, Leonard reminded her, “Be careful. The Red Dragon Kingdom has issued an S-level arrest warrant for you. Bounty Hunters are searching everywhere for you. There are many High-Order Card Masters in the camp, too…”

“Oh.”

Tracy responded obediently.

But the sparkle in her crystal-clear eyes didn’t show a hint of concern about the arrest warrant.

She was aware of the many people nearby and curiously asked, “By the way, where is this place?”

Leonard answered, “It’s an adventurer’s camp near the Rune Highlands.”

“Rune Highlands?”

Tracy mulled over the name, as if she knew something about it.

Leonard poured himself a cup of tea as well and sat opposite her.

Considering she was a descendant of the Taron Grand Priest lineage, he thought she might know some secrets.

He naturally asked, “Right. An expedition from the Royal Academy has come to the Southern Continent to explore this wasteland. And I suspect that the Augustus Imperial Tomb is nearby. Some people in the Trial Group might be after the Olympus Holy Sword hidden within the King’s Mausoleum…”

He had nothing to hide from an old friend,
So he briefly explained the situation in the simplest terms.

Tracy’s eyes showed a trace of surprise as she said, “You… How did you know the Tomb of the Augustus King is here?”

Hearing her tone, Leonard knew he had guessed correctly, and explained, “I encountered some things before and made some deductions, roughly guessing the location. And now that the Royal Family from the Southern Continent has arrived, my suspicions are all but confirmed.”

“Oh.”

Tracy appeared to suddenly understand.

Yet her expression was hesitant, as though she was having trouble admitting something.

Leonard glanced at her and asked directly, “You know about it, too?”

Instead of answering, Tracy looked back at him, pursing her lips, “I can’t say.”

“???”

Leonard, curious about her response, pressed for more information.

It wasn’t that she didn’t know,
It was that she couldn’t tell.

Tracy shrugged, her tone slightly helpless as she explained, “The Grand Priest lineage and the Augustus Royal Family have a protective agreement. Many things can’t be disclosed.”

In other words, I’d like to tell you, but I can’t.

Leonard now understood.

Indeed, if someone planned to excavate the tomb of the ancestors of Augustus, the Taron Grand Priest would definitely not reveal any information.

Tracy’s mind seemed to be racing, as she pouted her lips.

She wanted to say something but had to hold back.

After struggling for quite a while, she finally managed to squeeze out a few words, “The King’s Mausoleum is very dangerous…”

“Oh?”

Leonard mused over her words, sensing they revealed quite a bit.

Of course, he knew the risks.

The tomb of the Augustus King was from the era of the Taren Dynasty’s rule, so danger was a given.

But 3,000 years had passed, the Dynasty had fallen, and the biggest danger had essentially vanished.

What remained were most likely just monsters and restrictions.

But Leonard wasn’t the main force in this upcoming exploration.

It was the people from the Southern Continent.

If those folks dared to come, they must be well prepared.

Since Bun-Haired Miss mentioned only “danger” and didn’t dissuade him from going, it meant there was room for maneuver.

With that in mind, Leonard felt even more confident about the upcoming adventure.

Knowing they couldn’t continue discussing the King’s Mausoleum, he changed the subject, “Little Garcia, what’s happening on the Southern Continent?”

“Sorry, I haven’t really figured it out…”

Tracy knew what piqued his curiosity but honestly couldn’t answer. She playfully stuck out her tongue, adding, “I only made a loop inside the palace of the Red Dragon Empire and couldn’t even leave.”

“…”

Leonard took it in stride, amused.

Luckily you’re tricky, girl, otherwise, you might have been in big trouble.

Recalling something, Leonard then asked, “By the way, what is this ‘Book of the Undead’ you mentioned?”

He was curious about what could have given the Red Dragon Royal Family such difficulties they couldn’t speak of.

“Here~ this one.”

Upon hearing his question, Tracy, thrilled like she was sharing spoils, promptly pulled out an ancient book wreathed in black mist.

The book’s cover was made of black leather material with complex curse inscriptions embossed on it, and at the center, there was a haunting, lifelike human eye.
