Chapter 256: Chapter 114 Second Mysterious Letter
Translator: 549690339
Seeing that no one was pursuing him anymore, Leonard Churchill didn’t run to a safer place to hide and stay out of sight.
Instead, he curiously headed towards the direction of the gathering fire.
He also wanted to see what exactly had happened.
Unfortunately, by the ti Leonard arrived, the fight had already ended.
mbers of the Lionheart Family had all gone deep into the ruins in pursuit of
the assassin.
All that were left behind were the shocked onlookers.
“My god, that blindfolded man’s power is too terrifying. He said a few curse chants and directly killed Young Master Kane, who was being protected by a golden knight…”
“Heh, he deserved to die! I’ve long been disgusted with that noble bastard!” “The murder was satisfying indeed, but now it has caused a big ss. The heir of the Lionheart Family has been killed; the Federal Military will probably get involved directly. Let’s go now; if we’re late, we may not be able to leave.” “It seems like it had been preditated. The original plan was to ambush and kill him in the Alternate Dinsion, who would have thought Young Master Kane had a space teleportation card to escape. The organization then assigned soone outside for a secondary assassination. I figured, who could break the war mode’s alternate dinsion in one go? They must have strong ans for it
to make sense…”
The crowd slowly dissipated and headed back into the camp.
Having listened for a while, Leonard understood what had happened.
As he had surmised, soone had indeed seized the opportunity to assassinate
Young Master Kane.
Moreover, they had succeeded.
“The Thirteen Masked Knight Organization?”
It was Leonard’s first ti hearing the na of this mysterious organization.
Through the excited descriptions of the hunters, Leonard gradually pieced together the events.
A cloak-wearing, blindfolded mysterious man had intercepted the Lionheart Family convoy on the road.
Then, using only a few strange, mysterious system spells, this man killed
Kane.
The hunters didn’t understand the spells, but they offered their observations. However, when Leonard heard about the illusion of the “Three-faced Demon God” appearing behind the blindfolded man, he thought of sothing else. Usually, fourth-tier curse card masters could cultivate their own Demon Mark, manifesting as a protective phantom.
But manifesting the specter of an ancient Demon God directly, was no small matter.
It was said that only curse card masters with excellent Law Comprehension or a few awakeners with a Legendary Quality Demon Mark might be capable of such a feat.
Leonard had seen one before.
That was Camilla.
In Space 407, Camilla had once used that secret skill as an apprentice, revealing a Demon God’s Phantom that Leonard couldn’t identify.
This gave her the terrifying combat power beyond her tier, capable of eliminating the A-rank Catastrophe, the Fallen Witch Sect, which had undergone secondary mutation at the ti.
Even from Leonard’s current understanding, he still couldn’t discern what the Demon God’s Phantom was.
Nonetheless, that didn’t stop him from guessing that the Demon Mark Camilla integrated was one of the Fifty-Two Demonic Origin Cards.
The phantom was directly related to her Demon Mark.
“Could it be that the assassin also integrated an Epic Source Card?
Listening to the description of “judgnt” and “balance,” Leonard guessed it resembled a Mark from the path of Order.
This Thirteen Masked Knight Organization seems strong.
Equipping mbers with epic source cards?
No wonder they dared to assassinate the heir of the Lionheart Family. Of course, it’s also possible that soone used their na to cause trouble.
But all of that was unimportant to Leonard.
What mattered was that the so-called ‘Lantern Bearer’ Vince Lane’s assassination attempt had successfully diverted attention away from him.
“Am I now sohow a mber of the Knights Organization? Listening to the guesses of the hunters, Leonard couldn’t help but find the situation bitter and funny.
The selected ti of the assassin was very subtle, just when he had left the alternate dinsion and Kane had left to hunt.
From the outside, it looked like a planned assassination.
Even Leonard felt that if he weren’t himself, listening to the cause and effect of the event, he would not believe they weren’t in collusion.
Thinking of this, Leonard laughed.
This was good news for him.
He had originally prepared for big trouble following his return, but now, this “Thirteen Masked Knight Organization” had attracted all the attention,
his pressure dropped by about ninety percent.
Even if he, a first-tier shrimp was really wanted, he would be the least significant target.
This was a great advantage.
The Lionheart Family mbers were now searching the endless wilderness around the camp for the killer.
Leonard Churchill returned to the camp with the rest of the hunters.
He wasn’t afraid of being discovered.
Young Master Kane had never gotten a good look at him from the beginning, the only useful clues he had were a werewolf transformation and a scalpel.
As long as he didn’t expose these two features, he should still be safe. Entering the camp, Leonard indeed saw his wanted posters all over the place.
It looked like they had been up for many days.
The posters only listed two clues pointing to him: a werewolf and a scalpel. Leonard didn’t feel any threat and continued walking into the camp. More than ten days had passed since his last visit and the number of hunters in the camp had multiplied.
Taverns, rchants, and equipnt supply shops had all opened in large numbers.
Leonard had initially intended to visit the Hunter’s Tavern to sit and carefully inquire about what happened before.
But as he approached the tavern, he saw the small building with dozens of corpses hanging from it.
He stopped.
That was Young Master Kane’s residence in the camp.
Leonard stood still, observing the corpses for a long ti.
The bodies swaying in the wind were like flags, declaring the supre power of life and death held by the nobles..
