Catastrophe Card King-Chapter 903 - 281 Arch Fire_2

Chapter 903: Chapter 281 Arch Fire_2

Despite her girlish delicacy, her eyes sparkled with the allure of a sophisticated woman.

She was a woman whose age one could not easily determine.

Leonard Churchill looked at her and took the initiative to greet, “Hello, Leonard Churchill.”

To have been caught unawares by a Fourth Tier like himself, the strength of the woman before him was also unfathomable.

And since Noah Wright himself had said she was a member of the Thirteen Knights, even if she wasn’t a Legend, she was very close to one.

Erin laughed, “I know. It was you who dealt with the Crimson Altar in the treasury before.”

...

As she spoke, she eyed Leonard Churchill with silk-like gaze and extended her hand, “Hello, Erin~ Pleased to meet you. I’ve seen you before, but I guess you didn’t know…”

“…”

Leonard Churchill shook hands like a gentleman.

Given her abilities, it was normal that he had no recollection of having seen her.

Erin unabashedly scrutinized Leonard Churchill from top to bottom, “Wow~ You’re even more handsome in person than on the arrest warrant.”

Leonard Churchill responded politely, “Thank you. Miss Erin is also very beautiful.”

Erin covered her mouth and giggled flirtatiously, “You’re quite the charmer~”

Seemingly used to her inexhaustible charm, Noah Wright interrupted with a faint sense of helplessness, “What’s the situation outside?”

Interrupted by the leader’s tactlessness, Erin frowned at Noah Wright, but didn’t hold back, “The news has been confirmed. Cross City has been breached, attacked by a Seventh Tier Fire Dragon.”

When it came down to business, her gem-like eyes hid profound depths, “However, the Fire Dragon isn’t a real Great Dragon, but a human card master’s Beast Transformation.”

Noah Wright pondered for a moment, “Human?”

Erin replied, “Yes. The incident went something like this… several strangers appeared in Cross City, unable to speak the common language and their clothes and equipment were quite different. They were discovered by the Miller Family’s intelligence agents, and conflict erupted immediately. In the end, one of them transformed into a Fire Dragon, slew the Miller Family’s Cross Lord, then destroyed much of the city before making his escape…”

Noah Wright listened, his expression unchanging as if something had been confirmed, and he only asked, “Card masters?”

Erin confirmed, “Yes, all of them! These fellows, in addition to transforming into Great Dragons, also used Curse Cards. However, the school of magic they practiced was somewhat ancient, and its power extremely strong, seemingly a direct heritage from ancient Taron. Currently, some of the spells identified include ‘Storm Wheel Cutting Technique’, ‘Fire Dragon Forbidden Spell’, ‘Mystery: Great Waterfall Control Technique’… Besides the Seventh Tier who transformed into a Flying Dragon, the rest also display various features of Dragon Descendants.”

“…”

She was indeed a professional intelligence operative.

Erin had detailed the battle at Cross New City thoroughly.

The listeners felt as if they had witnessed the battlefield themselves.

Leonard Churchill’s own Profession Card contained some Dragon Descendant Material, giving him a more accurate understanding of the power of Dragon Transformation than others.

A Seventh Tier card master transformed into a Flying Dragon would almost have overwhelming power in this era.

Although the Miller Family was powerful, it was not surprising that they were unable to deal with the Seventh Tier, and the fall of Cross New City was to be expected.

However, the conditions for integrating Dragon Descendant Material were extremely demanding on one’s physical constitution, not to mention that the materials were hard to find, and few in the Federation could merge with Dragon Descendant Material.

Yet, that group of “unknown origin” each possessed Dragon Descendant features, which was very thought-provoking.

From this information, Leonard Churchill sensed something: the other party possessed arrogance and confidence borne of undeniable strength!

…

“Now there are some rumors circulating in the Black Market, saying that our ‘Illuminate Association’ is causing trouble behind the scenes, alleging that we have a clandestine connection with the Revolutionary Army and are plotting to subvert the nation. There are also people looking for ways to reach out to you, leader, to inquire about the possibility of collaboration… heh.”

“But the five Senators aren’t fools, they probably also guess that it might be some other Card Master Civilization. The Sinless City has already issued temporary control orders, Old Continent, exit but no entry. They fear the intrusion of the other party into the East Continent…”

“The Miller Family managed to kill two of the enemies. One of the corpses is currently on its way back to Sinless City. Once the intelligence on the body is analyzed, things should become clear.”

“…”

After Erin finished speaking, the expressions of all three people in the room became grave.

Noah Wright too fell into deep thought.

Knowing the leader would ponder for a long time, Erin shared her judgment, “They’re powerful… From the current information, those people have likely maintained an unbroken heritage. At least, they wouldn’t be like us, having been suppressed by the Orlan Royal Family for two thousand years…”

Leonard Churchill was struck by the same impression.

Their having a Seventh Tier and such strong power behind them surely pointed to a well-preserved Card Master System heritage.

This marked a clear distinction.

The East Continent, home of the Card Master Federation, was already scarce in resources, and the Orlan Royal Family, in order to maintain their rule, had sealed off most of the heritage, holding back its development for over two thousand years.

If they were to face a Card Master Civilization with an unbroken heritage, the prospects did not look promising.

The ruin of the Miller Family’s Cross New City could very well be just a prelude to the future.

As for peaceful coexistence, it was nearly impossible.

Preying on the weak is a part of human nature, plus the world is cruel; a powerful civilization discovering a weaker one would almost inevitably enslave and plunder it.

Even if, by chance, the other side was “merciful” and this attack an accident.

Then in the future, what right do the card masters of the East Continent have to explore the Old Continent alongside those people?

Even if they could go, they would likely end up as “cannon fodder” in the exploration of the abyss.
