Catastrophe Card King

Chapter 889: Chapter 277 Body Deification_2

Having met before, Leonard Churchill didn’t hold back and took a seat on the chair.

Tracy Garcia asked happily, “Mother, what are you doing here?”

Susu Garcia always had a gentle smile on her face, “I came to see how this girl of mine is doing.”

Tracy Garcia blinked, “Ah… Mother misses me? Hee hee, I miss Mother too.”

Before the young lady with the roundhead could say anything, Susu Garcia smiled at her and glanced at Leonard Churchill, “Hmm. Your friend is quite good.”

By her tone, she didn’t plan to speak about their previous encounter.

Hearing her mother’s approval, Tracy Garcia cheerfully introduced, “Yes! Yes! Mr. Leonard Churchill saved me and helped me a lot. He’s really amazing…”

It had been a long time since their last meeting, and it seemed as if there was too much to say.

With a smile on her lips, Susu Garcia listened quietly, her eyes filled with indulgent love.

She listened as her daughter praised her friend, and the curve of her brows shared in her daughter’s joy.

After listening to Tracy Garcia, Susu Garcia teased, “Alright now. Don’t make others laugh.”

Tracy Garcia blinked, not yet realizing what was amiss in what she said.

Susu Garcia shook her head and then turned to Leonard Churchill, “This girl is naive and can be a bit foolish and impetuous at times. I’m afraid you’ll have to look after her more in the future…”

Listening, Tracy Garcia immediately muttered, “I am not~”

Leonard Churchill, standing aside, was slightly startled as if sensing a deeper meaning in those words, and nodded, “Hmm.”

Miss Roundhead’s abilities had become very strong, but her perception was still quite slow in certain areas; she did not realize why she would encounter her mother here.

But Leonard Churchill had some guesses.

The incident was too significant, drawing forces from all over the Federation, and the layout of what followed involved more than just the Thirteen Knights.

The Divine Ruins Treasure House was, after all, a relic of the Taron Dynasty’s royalty.

Furthermore, the people from the Orlan Royal Court had encountered many obstacles in the Mysterious Realm, and surely some well-informed individuals were involved behind the scenes.

This knowledgeable person, powerful, deep in planning, and privy to secrets of the Orlan Royal Family unknown to others, was very likely the High Priest Orlan before him.

After the Queen of Orlan was killed in Lion City, Leonard Churchill had already discerned some of her stances.

Although Leonard Churchill did not understand why she acted so, nor was he aware of the internal affairs of the Orlan Royal Court, he could feel it.

This “look after her more” had already explained a lot of issues.

The chat atmosphere was very warm.

They spoke of commonplace family matters.

As Susu Garcia said, she had just come to see her daughter.

….

Tracy Garcia encountered her mother, and Leonard Churchill knew that mother and daughter had a lot to talk about and probably had matters to explain to each other.

After drinking a pot of tea in the small building, he courteously took his leave.

Shortly after, Leonard Churchill rode his steam motorcycle to Grove Street in the South City District.

The Hunter’s Association was empty that day.

Leonard Churchill smoothly followed the pipes and jumped down, waiting with familiarity at the huge drain outlet.

Before long, a lovably clumsy Totoro with a lantern in hand emerged.

Leonard Churchill stood up from his meditation and asked, “Mr. Totoro, is Master Merlin in the laboratory?”

Having become familiar, Totoro was no longer so formal, replying, “He is. Follow me.”

Leonard Churchill smiled and nodded, taking out a piece of smoked fish, “Thank you.”

“Human, are you trying to bribe this cat?”

Totoro seemed to be rejecting the offer, but its honest body had already grabbed the fish.

Leonard Churchill smiled and said, “This is a thank-you gift for the several times Mr. Totoro has guided me.”

Though they had met thrice, he was still curious why the Totoro possessed such high intelligence.

Or perhaps, it could be said that Master Merlin’s spirit pets were all quite unique.

It wasn’t long before Leonard Churchill entered the underground.

He was no stranger to this vast laboratory.

But this time, as he walked in, Leonard Churchill’s eyes were immediately drawn to a dramatically large piece of equipment that had been added to the lab.

It was a glass tank filled with green water, inside it was a person wrapped in bandages.

Leonard Churchill was familiar because those bandages were from the Light and Dark Shroud that previously wrapped the Weeping Angel’s body.

This Relic could prevent the overflow of Divinity.

It was not surprising for Merlin’s laboratory to have many human samples.

The reason he looked longer was beside the bandages; there were also densely drawn Sealing Curses on the glass vessel.

After a glance, Leonard Churchill felt that these Curses appeared familiar.

Some he had seen in the Mithril Ore mine a century ago, some in Classic Books…

The effects that the Curses pointed to were roughly “to prevent Contamination from spreading” and “to contain Forbidden Energy Overflow.”

Such grand preparations suggested that the being inside the tank was not a mere human, but a Super Tier monster.

What’s going on?

Before he could grow more curious, the voice of Master Merlin from the isolation chamber called out a warning, “Be careful, lad. Don’t get too close, lest you become Contaminated.”

Looking over, Leonard Churchill saw the old man dissecting a ghastly, fanged creature… a Vampire?

That’s when he realized what kind of Contamination Merlin was referring to.

However, he himself had already been Contaminated, and it seemed there was little to fear.

With a slightly odd expression, he responded, “Well… Master Merlin, I am actually here to see you for something.”

Without turning his head, Merlin replied, “You’re advancing to the Fourth Tier? Heh, it seems your gains from the Mysterious Realm were quite good, huh?”

His tone carried no surprise.
