Catastrophe Card King-Chapter 929 - 288 Camp Mode, Rebels_2
Chapter 929 -288 Camp Mode, Rebels_2
Speaking, he paused, “Of course, if you develop the plot difficulty high enough, you might even find clues related to the ‘Augustus Imperial Mausoleum’ in this Alternate Dimension… That’s also what those Red Dragon royals are looking for.”
“…”
Hearing this, Leonard Churchill confirmed that this toad really knew the plot.
What Relics, mausoleum clues, and all that weren’t important…
This guy directly mentioned a “name.”
That was an extremely crucial plot anchor.
Everyone knew that the death rate in this Alternate Dimension was very high, and this applied to both Non-Player Characters and Adventurers.
As long as he could confirm that this plot character would not die, then by following him, observing him, he could greatly improve his own chances of survival.
The value of this information was immense!
The toad also knew that it was not in a position to bargain.
Leonard Churchill said, “I’ve seen that armor before.”
Upon hearing this, there was a clear note of expectation and surprise in the toad’s voice as it asked in astonishment, “That armor is in the East Wilderness?”
Leonard Churchill: “Yes.”
Then, as expected, the toad said what he had guessed, “That’s the armor of my ancestor Frederick.”
“…”
At this point, Leonard Churchill really didn’t know what to say.
Although there were many fake nobles in the Federation who misappropriated ancient surnames to glorify themselves, he did not think this toad was boasting.
It was about a “hero” after all.
But it all sounded too coincidental to be true.
The toad guessed his skepticism, and stated directly, “The underside of that armor should have a damage mark. That’s where my ancestor was bitten by the Great Dragon’s fangs during a battle. Even if it has been repaired, it should still have a flaw…”
“…”
Listening to this, Leonard Churchill truly believed it.
No wonder he had been puzzled at how such a fine piece of armor could have a flaw — so it was because of this?
Fate seemed to play the fool, popping up unexpectedly in the least imaginable places to startle you.
The toad too was shocked by the coincidence, murmuring, “I never imagined that my ancestor’s armor would be passed down…”
…
It had to put enough chips on the table to make the “spy from the East Wilderness” think it was worth betting his life on.
Before Leonard Churchill could ask anything, it continued, “But you have to be careful. A very important reason why that siege rebellion failed was not just because the enemy was strong. It was because there was a ‘traitor’ among the Rebels.”
Another crucial plot point!
Leonard Churchill asked, “Who is it?”
The toad replied, “I don’t know. It’s a piece of missing history that’s been covered in dust, no one knows what happened.”
Upon hearing this, Leonard Churchill hesitated no further and directly voiced the doubt in his heart, “Then how do you know?”
What was certain was that the losses suffered by the Thorny Snake Corps were so severe precisely because they did not have this intelligence.
At these words, the toad fell silent for a moment, as if reminiscing about something, not responding immediately.
….
Waren City was a Relic that had not seen human activity for thousands of years.
This “Waren City Rebel Camp” was also an Alternate Dimension that had never been explored before.
Leonard Churchill had initially thought it would be like his exploration of the “Holy Grail War,” where this guy had probably explored related plot spaces before, so he knew some of the plot.
Unexpectedly, it mentioned something else that took him by surprise.
The toad’s tone carried an inexplicable pride as it arrogantly said, “The reason I know… is because my surname is ‘the brave Frederick’!”
Such surnames were rare; the chance of a surname collision was very slim.
Leonard Churchill understood then.
That surviving Rebel was very likely this toad’s ancestor.
No wonder it was so sure that plot character would survive.
No wonder it knew so much.
So this Alternate Dimension was the story of its ancestor?
That made sense.
It was like connecting the most crucial piece of a puzzle, immediately making the logic sound.
At this moment, in Leonard Churchill’s eyes, it was as if he saw a fate line that had twined through thousands of years emerge from ancient times, landing on this toad and also entwining his own fate line.
And this interwoven fate line could possibly extend into the future for countless years.
…
The toad seemed to think Leonard Churchill’s reaction a bit muted, expressing surprise, “Haven’t you Easterners heard of this epic surname?”
This was an epic surname, the name of a hero!

Leonard Churchill fell silent, “…”
He guessed that the name might be famous.
But he had indeed never heard of it.
After all, all books in the East Wilderness were burned during the City of Ember battle three thousand years ago.
He searched his memory and indeed found some legendary stories in the poems of some Bards.
But it all seemed to have nothing to do with the toad before him.
Oh, and one more thing!
The most recent contact he had had was with the invincible defense level five Relic “Frederick I’s Silver Shining Armor” acquired by a Vampire during the Flood Gang battle.
Leonard Churchill responded truthfully, “Sorry, but there’s been a severe disruption in the East Wilderness civilization. I’ve only heard of an armor with that surname.”
The toad seemed somewhat bored before, but upon hearing this, it quickly replied, “Frederick I’s Silver Shining Armor?”
At the same time, it asked, “You… where did you learn about this armor?”
That was also what Leonard Churchill wanted to ask; the toad had just named the armor outright.
Until now, everything Leonard Churchill had heard from the toad seemed like listening to a story of some other civilization completely unrelated to himself.
