Catastrophe Card King-Chapter 901 - 280 Flying Dragon Attacks the City_4

Chapter 901: Chapter 280 Flying Dragon Attacks the City_4

Noah Wright asked the same question, “Have you ever considered why, in the Alternate Dimension of ‘The Third Holy Grail War’, humans and Demons have been at war for hundreds of years?”

“…”

Leonard Churchill shook his head.

“I don’t know either. But I have deduced some reasons using my abilities.”

Noah Wright paused for a moment, then continued, “My teacher once said that in ancient times, Gods used planes as chessboards and the secrets of laws as the veins of the board, so-called civilizations, empires, city-states, armies, heroes, commoners, and sects… are all but pawns. The fate of the pieces is the strength of the game, determining life and death with each move. Essentially, it’s all about belief and certain… things. In the eyes of the Gods, human beings, such lowly creatures, are no different from ants.”

Leonard Churchill deeply agreed.

...

That was exactly how all the Ancient God Devotees he had encountered behaved.

But Noah Wright revealed an even crueler truth, “Only sickness can make people believe in doctors, only suffering can make people pray to the Gods… This is the original driving force of faith.”

Leonard Churchill listened and nodded his head.

Noah Wright: “And that’s not all. I have some speculations from some ancient documents that have been passed down, suggesting that the last few steps above the seventh tier to ascend to God Tier seem to require… something like a ritual of faith sacrifice, to satisfy certain directional conditions. For example: war. Otherwise, I can’t think of any reason that would satisfactorily justify this perpetual conflict of the Holy Grail War…”

“…”

Leonard Churchill’s pupils shrank slightly.

His thoughts were racing.

…

“But it’s a bit too early to be talking about domains at your current realm… you need to solidify your ‘Intention’ with something different.”

Noah Wright said, “Let me show you something.”

With that, he took out a very ordinary-looking booklet, like a manuscript.

Leonard Churchill looked over.

[X-007-Infinite Script · Will and Representation]

Details: A relic exclusive to the Bard lineage.

This is a Disaster Object.

“This is the exclusive relic of my lineage. Some of the deductive abilities of the Pursuer of Light are completed through it,” Noah Wright said.

Noah Wright opened the first page of the script, which seemed to have a lot of text on it.

However, Leonard Churchill couldn’t read it.

He knew that it was written in High-level Demon Language.

Noah Wright read it aloud: “‘Will’ is not only the subject of cognition but also the subject of the body; not only is man the unity of subject and object, the whole world is the unity of subject and object. The world is both will and representation.”

“???”

Leonard Churchill felt like he had just heard a very profound statement.

But his brain chose to filter out the information it couldn’t understand.

So, he had completely no recollection of what he had heard.

Even when he tried to recall it, he found that the phrase slipped away as if it had a life of its own, his thoughts unable to grasp it.

The brain strongly rejected this sensation.

Noah Wright also knew he couldn’t understand and chuckled, “I didn’t understand a thing when my teacher first told me either.”

With that, he made no attempt to explain further, adding, “Just listen for now. When you one day understand, you’ll know why ‘Noah Wright’ was able to break free from the script.”

“Hmm.”

Leonard Churchill smiled faintly, “Thank you for your teaching.”

At that moment, an idea occurred to him—if one day he truly mastered this ability, would he be able to write a story about himself and Vera Williams?

Then, would Miss Anne be able to step out of the book and into the real world?

…

The two of them spent the afternoon playing poker in the storage room.

Leonard Churchill gained a lot from it.

As Noah Wright said, the inheritor of the ‘I am the world’ and [JOKER] from the Pursuer of Light lineage indeed shared many overlapping abilities.

The Pursuer of Light was a lineage passed down through single inheritance, and the previous Pursuer of Light had passed away just a few years ago.

The current Mushroomhead was nearing death as well and thus had no successor yet.

And Leonard Churchill was probably the only card master outside of the [Bard] lineage who could learn this Demon God Forbidden Skill.

Noah Wright held nothing back.

Mushroomhead was very indifferent towards life and death.

He said, even if he truly didn’t have long to live, being a screenwriter wasn’t so bad.

In his words, if no one wrote those stories down with a pen, who would testify to the epics that had been buried in the dust of history?

That was the Bard.

Leonard Churchill had many conversations with the man.

Card masters who could advance to Legend had unparalleled understanding in certain domains.

And because of his Professional Sequence, Noah Wright indeed seemed to possess a sense of omniscience.

He was able to clearly explain any perplexities Leonard Churchill had.

Because of his profession, he was even better at expressing himself in words than Barre Shepherd and even Master Merlin.

Leonard Churchill absorbed the knowledge like a sponge, absorbing it frantically.

In the following days, Leonard Churchill also found a place to stay.

He spent his days in Flood Gang, most of the time playing cards and chatting with Noah Wright.

Unknowingly, he had quietly mastered the basics of [Clown’s Shadow Trick].

Noah Wright had almost become a cripple.

He relished the leisure.

His days were spent writing screenplays, with plenty of free time.

Having someone to chat with was something he welcomed.

Leonard Churchill also felt that if the conditions allowed, he would continue to stay.

However, the unexpected arrived suddenly.

Sinless City was in an uproar because of a piece of news.

No!

To be exact…

The entire Card Master Federation was stunned by this news.

“Disaster! Disaster! Something big has happened on the Old Continent!”

“What’s going on?”

“Miller Family’s ‘Cross New City’, established in the Demon Cross Ruins, has been wiped out!”

“What? The Miller Family is one of the five Senators. Who would dare attack them?”

“Flying Dragon Attacks the City! Real Great Dragons, and… powerful entities from who knows where!”
