Chapter 475: Chapter 169: White Family in City of

Thieves 5

And then there are the likes of Ancient Gods, Angels, Superior Demons, Abyss Monsters, and so on…

These powerful beings are clearly not on par with the current six-tiered Card Masters.

Yet strangely, a few thousand years later, no matter how gifted the Card Masters are, they are all stuck at the sixth tier barrier.

It gives a very strange, yet incomprehensible feeling.

It’s like a great hand covering the well.

Using a method unknown to outsiders, the promotion of Card Masters above the sixth tier was forcefully removed.

But those historical truths are hidden in the interruptions of civilization.

From the canon Leonard Churchill had previously seen, many scholars who have left their works in the books all have similar suspicions.

But his current tier is too low and he hasn’t yet reached this level.

So he didn’t think further about it.

Catherine Carter seemed to guess what he was puzzled about and explained, “Some predecessors of ours have tried to break through the seventh tier using some fragmented secret skills unearthed from ancient ruins. But the result is that everyone, whether old guard six-tiered or legends, all mutated… So there must be something we don’t know.”

Pausing for a moment, she continued, “And this pit is not an Alternate Dimension, but an open ruin, which is the best opportunity for exploration.”

Leonard Churchill also guessed that her “reliable information” is most likely obtained from the Orlan Remnants.

He had no intention of prying into their secrets.

But he also understood the plans of the Lionheart Family.

This is indeed a great opportunity.

In the past, some unexplored alternate dimensions were discovered in the Old Continent by hunters.

Those were “T-level”, higher than the “S-level” difficulty, with no survivors.

Perhaps there are materials above the tiers and information about the interrupted civilization in that space.

But exploration is a big problem.

Everyone knows that exploring the Alternate Dimension has a mortality rate.

Most six-tier professionals in the Federation are in high positions and don’t have to worry about necessities anymore. Few would risk their lives in order to explore new areas.

But an open ruin can be crowded with people’s lives.

After hearing this, Leonard Churchill understood something in his mind and joked, “Could you really reveal such a secret?”

Catherine Carter, with a nonchalant attitude, replied, “The whole Federation will know it soon. Many people from Sinless City are already rushing over.” This is also the main reason why the Lionheart Family is desperate to excavate the ruins first, regardless of the cost.

As she spoke, she glanced at Leonard Churchill and said, ”1 think what others can’t say, Baron Charles should be able to… Oh, should I refer to you as Mr. Leonard Churchill?”

Leonard Churchill laughed without committing himself.

His gaze, however, was searching the crowd in the distance, trying to remember the faces of those top-notch professionals.

After all, there is a chance that they might be enemies in the future.

Meanwhile, Leonard Churchill chuckled, “Well… he’s actually here as well.”

He spotted a guy carrying a bandaged sword-shaped object on his back.

It was none other than “Knuckles” Abel from the Brotherhood.

One glance at Abel’s cold expression, and Catherine Carter picked up on this, asking “Do you have a grudge against him?”

Without waiting for Leonard Churchill’s answer, she seemed to have thought of something and answered herself, “Oh, right. Abel and the Flood Gang are sworn enemies.”

When Leonard Churchill heard this, it didn’t seem unusual at first.

But on closer thought.

Hey…what she said, doesn’t it mean, she knows that I have close relations with the Flood Gang?

She wouldn’t know that I was that guy from the gambling den, would she? Although he had been going by Baron Charles before, not many people knew the name “Leonard Churchill.”

But this woman’s intuition is astoundingly accurate.

When Leonard Churchill heard this seemingly casual yet hinting remark, he suddenly realized that Catherine Carter might have really known it.

However, seeing that she didn’t intend to mention it.

Leonard Churchill didn’t think much about it.

Because he had never taken it seriously before,

But at that moment, a woman dressed in a white dress stepping out of the steam car from the distant team, caused Catherine Carter’s expression to change.

This time Leonard Churchill curiously looked over. She was dressed exactly like a standard young noblewoman, with long straight black hair and an attractive figure.

However, his gaze landed on the noble emblem carried by the guard beside the lady in white.

“Golden Vine Scepter Emblem”, proving membership of one of the top elite families of the Federation, not any less prestigious than the Lionheart Family, the White Family of the City of Thieves.

Leonard Churchill curiously muttered: “Councillor of the White Family?” Like the Miller Family, the White Family also occupies one of the five council seats in the Federation.

“Yes.”

Catherine’s expression becomes somber.

Seeing her facial expression, Leonard asked: “Do you know each other?”

Catherine didn’t hide anything and said bluntly: ‘We were classmates at the Federation University.”

On hearing this, Leonard instantly imagined some scenarios.

This type of well-dressed noble daughter either has friends or enemies who are equally attractive. Looking at this, it seems to be the latter.

However, what Catherine seemed worried about turned out to be something else. She murmured to herself: “I didn’t expect those guys from the Main Branch to unexpectedly collaborate with the White Family..”

Leonard didn’t know much about the elites, but seeing her rarely serious expression, he casually asked, “What’s special about the White Family?” It seems like the second branch of the Lionheart Family has partnered with the Orlan Remnants, and the Main Branch has allied with Councillor White Family. Well, the situation is getting more and more complicated.

Catherine explained, “Among the known elite families in the entire Federation, excluding those artificially fabricated, none can claim to have a history of origin that truly exceeds two thousand years. An old legend is… all of us once migrated from the Old Continent more than two thousand years ago due to the ‘Great Catastrophe’. However, the White Family doesn’t belong to this group. There is direct evidence that their heritage goes back more than five thousand years. It is said to be a family older than the Orlan Dynasty. They have masterfully continued the tradition of many Mysterious Type professional sequences and are very peculiar and mysterious.”

Upon hearing this, Leonard Churchill became interested.

He initially thought that the White Family, like the Miller Family, was just another elite family.

He didn’t expect that they had such a mysterious background.

Moreover, it seems to involve some historical truths that only the elites know. However, Catherine turned her crystal-clear eyes around, as if she had thought of something: “They might be here for me.”

“???”

Leonard was confused, wondering how this could involve her.

Catherine seemed to have confirmed something through some method: “The news of my Hero Trial might have been leaked.”

Upon hearing this, Leonard also pursed his lips.

It’s not uncommon for noble heirs to be at each other’s throats.

But he wasn’t interested in those fights, and just casually asked, “So… you want to quit?” ƒгeewebnovёl.com

“No.”

But Catherine shook her head.

After a moment’s contemplation, she said with deep earnestness, “The challenge of my trial is ‘Fate’. If it has been leaked, then it is the course of destiny and it is unavoidable.”

Upon hearing this, Leonard was amazed.

This trial seems to hold some weight.

This woman also seems to enjoy taking some risks.

Previously, she risked engaging with the Flood Gang for a while, and now she’s prepared to take a risk with this trial.

What would she get if she succeeded?

Seeing that he remained silent, Catherine raised an eyebrow and asked, “Are you afraid of being implicated?”

“Hehe.”

Leonard responded with a smile.

Anywhere else this could indeed have implicated him, and it would be best to stay far away from such trouble.

But in the ruins, that was uncertain.

Moreover, this woman’s ‘Fate’ might not be more troublesome than his own “gambling man of fate.”

And there was also Elder Clinton’s so-called Great Cause and Effect..
