Leonard Churchill needed these pieces of intelligence.
He picked this caravan because their destination was the Rune Highlands.
In Leonard’s hands was a mysterious map obtained from the “Waren City Rebel Camp”.
After much contemplation, he suspected that the place pointed to in the Rune Highlands might be related to the Augustus Imperial Tomb.
Previously wanting to go, he had no clues.
But people from the Southern Continent, relying on a large number of adventurers, had already discovered several relatively safe routes.
Following this team would be much safer.
Moreover, he had also learned a lot of information he was interested in.
For example, he was very interested in what people were saying about the “Rune Highlands”.
There are certainly experts among the folk, and these professional rcenaries, who risk their lives for a living, have a keener nose for treasure than the higher-ups.
Then there was that matter of the “Royal Academy’s supplies”.
Leonard had also inferred so details that were more specific than what the rcenaries knew.
He had seen the escorted supplies before and found that they included luxury daily necessities essential for noble life, and irrelevant to adventures.
Such as gold cups, silver plates, fine imitation blankets…
This ant that a “Royal Academy noble group” might already be on their way here.
Only those pampered noble sons and daughters would indulge in such luxury.
This piqued Leonard’s interest greatly.
What exactly was in Rune Highlands is, for the ti being, unknown, but at the very least… in his eyes, the Royal Academy Trial Group was a walking treasure trove.
The Southern Continent is a pure kingship society where nobles hold the absolute high-end resources.
According to Aragon, the Southern Continent has inherited most of the fifty-two Sequences.
And it has Sequences that truly lead directly to God Tier!
Most of those unbroken inheritances are held in the hands of the great nobles!
The Ariel Royal Imperial Academy happens to be the empire’s premier noble academy, where its students are either rich or noble.
Leonard especially likes various noble sons and daughters.
And if those noble students have gone to the Rune Highlands, there must be a reason.
This made him even more certain of his own conjecture: sowhere in that wilderness, might indeed be the location of the Augustus Imperial Tomb!
….
It wasn’t fast traveling seventy kiloters, and after killing a few hundred Undead Creatures, the Big Cigarette rcenary Corps’ escort team finally reached the “Lant Valley Camp”.
This was westward, toward the Rune Highlands.
When they arrived, a large temporary camp made of huge logs had already been erected.
In the camp, bonfires burned vigorously, with armored, sword-wearing adventurers coming and going—an animated scene.
By now, Leonard had beco very familiar with spy life, and after arriving, he didn’t rush and simply inquired about intelligence.
The mont he arrived at the camp, he noticed sothing strange.
There were three regular corps here, about the sa size as the “Thorny Snake Corps”, well-trained, and with many High-Order Card Masters.
But these regular armies didn’t seem to be here for exploration; they looked more like they were clearing obstacles in advance and exploring the path to welco the noble sons and daughters of the Royal Academy Trial Group that would follow.
The task of exploring fell to the rcenaries and hunters.
These people from the Southern Continent had already been here for many days, and the camp was full of intelligence.
“This Rune Highlands is really mysterious. I heard that yesterday the ‘Red Beard Group’ of over three hundred people returned with only Old Burn, the leader, surviving. They said they encountered an Undead Bone Dragon…”
“Hiss… A Bone Dragon?”
“Not just the Bone Dragon. There are also Undead Spirit Giants, Behemoths, Human-faced Ghost Spiders, Demonized Treen… these are all high-rank Undead species capable of spawning legendary monsters. No idea where this damned place got so many rare species…”
“Yeah. I’ve heard there are so card masters specializing in Undead Material coming to the camp. It’s said that a few days ago, a lucky guy caught a Sixth Tier mythological Undead Creature, a Terror Gryphon, whose combat power is close to Seventh Grade…”
“Hiss, those are so good Spirit Pets. If you take it back to the empire to auction, it’s worth more than a million gold coins…”
“The Rune Highlands is indeed a holy place for training for Necromancy Series and Dark Type card masters… but for us, aside from the monsters, not a single relic has been found. Don’t know what’s worth digging for here. If it weren’t for the high rcenary fees, I would have thought of leaving…”
“Hey, you just don’t understand, do you? It is said that several Alternate Dinsion spaces have been discovered, all related to Tomb’s storyline… I reckon there could be a large tomb nearby. Haven’t you seen that the Three Great Kingdoms have sent official corps here? A big event is definitely happening around here!”
“Hopefully. War Slaves are not enough; I hope the hunting team can catch more people from the East Wilderness to make up the numbers. Otherwise, relying on us, who knows how many people will die before we can explore such a vast wilderness…”
“Yeah. But, speaking of which, have you heard about the trouble in Plague Marsh…”
“…”
Leonard strolled around the camp and had already heard a significant amount of scattered information.
It was as expected, Rune Highlands was extrely dangerous.
But Leonard was also curious: why were so many Undead Creatures gathered here?
Like Bone Dragons, Giants, Behemoths, Gryphons… those mythological Undead are extrely rare.
Normally, you’d be lucky to even encounter one, let alone a gathering.
And there were many in the Rune Highlands?
The adventurers couldn’t figure it out.
But when Leonard heard those reports, he felt a familiar sensation in his mind.
Because he had encountered it once before.
The Silver Moon Sect had once summoned Bone Dragons and Giants in Sinless City.
And that core mber, the Hunchbacked Old Cook, had used a legendary Spell—Undead Catastrophe!
