Catastrophe Card King

Chapter 578: Chapter 198 Camilla, Long Time No See

Two temporary allies appeared, but Leonard Churchill did not feel troubled by the potential exposure of his motives; on the contrary, he felt that the plan to find clues to the Holy Grail was now even more secure.

He looked at Noah Wright and with a teasing tone, he asked, “Why didn’t you leave?”

Mushroomhead shrugged his shoulders and, with an innocent face, looked at him and replied, “Don’t know where to go. So we just stayed.”

As he spoke, he blinked at Leonard Churchill and added, “The former team leader told me when you’re not sure about a decision, find someone who can make decisions to refer to. Just now, watching Mr. Leonard Churchill play dead, I thought you must have a way.”

Leonard Churchill listened and laughed helplessly, “What if I was just playing dead to seek refuge?”

Mushroomhead’s line of thought wasn’t wrong.

If you can’t find the clues yourself, just keep an eye on those who have.

He had thought the same before; these two temporary allies couldn’t have appeared here by chance, they must have known something.

He just wanted to follow and see.

Not expecting others to use him as a reference.

“Ah. No way,” replied Noah Wright, blinking and revealing a genuinely youthful smile.

He shared his reasoning, “Previously, when we were in Ironforge City, I saw you enter the City Lord Manor. Afterwards, you walked around the city, interacting with many key Plot Task Characters. My first thought was that you wanted the Lionheart Family to notice you, so you could use their strength to get rid of some trouble. Most likely, it was because you had obtained some Plot Task Items that you didn’t want to take with you. Of course, even if those fellows guessed this, they would certainly take the bait…”

“Heh heh…”

As Leonard Churchill listened, his expression grew more amused.

He didn’t even ask how Mushroomhead managed to lock onto his position.

But the guy was truly clever, with very clear thinking.

Hence, his previous actions in Ironforge City were indeed quite conspicuous to someone as suspicious by nature as Vivian White.

But as Mushroomhead said, knowing this, they would still take the bait.

Noah Wright continued, “Later, I realized you were asking some less important plot characters, and that’s when I guessed… your goal shouldn’t just be to divert disaster elsewhere but that you truly found some key clues. Then soon after you left the city, a great battle broke out, which confirmed my thoughts. And after that, you found our team, and then we encountered the white-robed Mage. Everything in the plot started to connect…”

“…”

Leonard Churchill listened and remained silent with a smile.

After a brief pause, filled with admiration, Noah Wright remarked, “Mr. Leonard Churchill is really amazing. You’ve cracked so many key plot points that the Lionheart Family couldn’t find out, even with such a great cost.”

“…”

Leonard Churchill shook his head slightly, neither explaining nor denying.

The clues he had found were also a coincidence; aside from the intelligence provided by Tracy Garcia’s mother, the most important part was the key items he had obtained the last time he successfully completed Outpost Battle.

That’s why he could find the clues in such a short time.

He didn’t think he was that impressive.

However, what made him slightly puzzled was that no matter how he looked at it, Noah Wright didn’t seem to be pretending but genuinely appeared to be an energetic and intelligent young man. Smart, innocent, wise, and with an unmistakable youthful spirit that could not be hidden.

If someone could pretend, then he would be too perfect.

But Churchill was certain that this young man was no simple character.

This was the paradox.

Thinking of this, Leonard Churchill directly asked, “How did you know to come in the direction of the ‘Twin Tower Cliff’?”

It wasn’t a good question to ask before, but now there were no reservations.

Noah Wright and the mysterious archer seemed to know each other, and their simultaneous appearance here could not be a coincidence.

After speaking, Leonard Churchill observed Noah Wright’s expression, thinking he might spot some inconsistencies.

However, unexpectedly, Mushroomhead directly revealed his ability, “I don’t know either. My Professional Sequence has an ability to extrapolate the direction in which events will develop. So, I chose a path that felt most likely to trigger hidden plots. I didn’t expect to run into you, Mr. Leonard Churchill.”

Leonard Churchill’s understanding dawned as he heard this; in layman’s terms, it was a guess.

He curiously asked in return, “Is it Divination?”

He thought of those who possess the Divination and Prediction abilities within the Card Master Sequence.

Yet Noah Wright shook his head, correcting him, “It’s not Divination. It’s extrapolation. The team leader told me that the operation of all things has traces and laws, and if you observe and perceive carefully, you will find that they always develop and evolve on a seemingly unpredictable but actually fixed trajectory. Like… the end of life is death, this is a trajectory that many people acknowledge.”

“…”

With this explanation, Leonard Churchill felt as if he understood something.

It sounded like being smart would suffice, but it was actually a kind of Transcendent Law.

It was somewhat similar to Reuel Bible’s approach of “Order.”

Originally, he was curious about which Professional Sequence this extrapolation ability belonged to, but asking further would be impolite.

As they touched on this subject, Noah Wright seemed to recall something and asked, “By the way, Mr. Leonard Churchill. I heard from the team leader that there are problems with your lifespan. Are you here to find the ‘Xismark Holy Grail’ to solve your problem?”

Leonard Churchill did not deny it, “Hmm.”

He casually asked, “Are you here for the Holy Grail as well?”

At this stage, those who remained were here for the Holy Grail, and there was no need for secrecy.
