Chapter 927: Chapter 287: A Heroic Toad_4
Leonard Churchill approached the toad because he wanted to try his luck.
He wasn’t clear about what the other could offer him.
If the benefits weren’t sufficient, he would definitely not continue taking risks.
When he spoke, no sound could be heard either; he had learned this secret skill—”Directional Sound Transmission”—from Catherine Carter.
The toad looked at the secret skill with a trace of surprise in its heart.
But then it felt it was to be expected.
Without this thod, his disguise wouldn’t have been so perfect.
It replied, “I haven’t exposed you for having ‘that thing’. Is that enough?”
Leonard Churchill replied indifferently, “Not enough. This thing falling into the hands of the Red Dragon Kingdom would be even more disadvantageous to you, or perhaps so other people.”
This was the result he had deduced from countless possibilities over the past few days.
The other party had not exposed him, and it was not without reason.
The most likely reason was that this thing in the hands of the high echelons of the Ariel Empire would be very disadvantageous to the empire’s enemies.
This guy was a prisoner; of course, he did not want to see his enemies grow stronger.
Upon hearing this, a genuine flash of surprise swept through the toad’s eyes, “Hey… I’ve always thought you were quite cautious. Now it seems, I still underestimated you.”
As he spoke, he shifted his tone, “However, your way of acting is also what makes see you as the most hopeful person to save thus far.”
From these words, it seed there had been many attempts to save him before.
But the fact was, he was still in the prison cart.
In other words, those people had failed.
Leonard Churchill asked calmly, “Why should I save you?”
In the dialogue of intelligent people, there was no need for beating around the bush. If the toad could offer value, what he would have to repay in return would certainly be saving it first.
Hearing this, the toad seed to understand sothing and said with self-mockery, “So you don’t recognize , huh. Heh, that’s right, I suppose anyone wouldn’t recognize in this monstrous form…”
Without any further delay, it continued, “If you knew my Professional Sequence, you’d understand why I was imprisoned. And we would also have a basic foundation of trust.”
Leonard Churchill was curious as to what reason the other could use to convince him, “Oh?”
The toad said lightly, “My Card Master Professional Sequence is ‘Heart 10 – Hero’, and my advanced profession is ‘Dragon Slayer’.”
“Dragon Slayer?”
In an instant, Leonard Churchill understood.
He was no stranger to this sequence.
The ‘Giant Dragon Hunter’ which he rged in the Third Tier was a special card of this professional sequence.
You could tell from the na alone that this sequence was the enemy of great dragons.
It was no wonder that this guy was captured.
However, why had the Dragon Slayer turned into a toad?
The toad apparently knew that Leonard Churchill would surely be curious and said, “As to why I’ve beco like this, it’s because I’ve been cursed. I can’t discuss the details now. If you’re willing to take a risk, we can discuss a cooperation. If not, then I advise you to leave this place as soon as possible…”
Upon hearing this, Leonard Churchill pondered for a mont, then asked, “How to save you?”
Advancing in certain Professional Sequences required not only talent and Marks but also a personality and behavior that matched the person.
Just like Reuel Bible, who belonged to the ‘Diamond 6 – Outlaw’, couldn’t possibly advance to a High Tier without a heart of justice.
Given that this toad could be locked up with such thick chains and had not turned into a monster, its tier must have been quite high before.
That it could advance to a High Tier also ant it could be called a “hero” in a certain sense.
At least from this aspect, there was no reason to doubt his character.
This was also why the toad had ntioned the basis for cooperation.
“Indeed you have courage!”
The toad, hearing his continued resolute response, admired him once more and countered, “Do you dare to take the risk?”
Leonard Churchill realized sothing, “This Alternate Dinsion?”
As soon as he said this, he understood imdiately that the “Waren Rebel Camp” Alternate Dinsion was definitely not simple.
And the toad knew sothing else as well.
So, from the start, it too had been creating opportunities for him to make contact.
Tsk tsk… There are indeed masters everywhere.
Leonard Churchill had thought he was the only one putting serious effort into making contact with the other; he didn’t expect that the toad had also been laying out plans in the shadows.
Leading the Thorny Snake Corps here, with heavy casualties, followed by the Vanguard Team taking over the watch… Steps that appeared to be just as they were ant to be.
But now, hearing these words, Leonard Churchill saw a discreet, unremarkable thread of a plot beneath each link in the chain of events.
The toad seed to realize that Leonard Churchill understood everything, too, and was equally surprised without saying much more.
It comnted from the bottom of its heart, “Your tier may not be high, but your sharpness of mind is the greatest I have ever seen. Your Professional Sequence is quite special, isn’t it… Prophet? Bard? Wise Man?”
Leonard Churchill didn’t say much, only replied indifferently, “What do you need to do?”
The toad’s tone was also very serious, “Prepare for the possibility that you might die.”
At that statent, Leonard Churchill, far from being shocked,
in fact, gave a sly smile.
